☆ for the hana banana or something like that

[ Today's goal was to be inconspicuous. Of course, when it came to Nico Yazawa, hiding her identity was rather easy (to her) as she wore her obnoxiously large sunglasses and a hat. Hell, she even put her hair up in a different style just for the sake of making sure that nobody figured out who she was. Even though her plan was to not stand out in a crowd of many, many Sayaka Maizono fans, she's actually standing out a lot more than expected.

Even if Nico herself doesn't seem to notice in the slightest bit.

But she's here for the goods.

... which is to get an autograph from one of the top idols - but not the top, at least, to Nico, who will always and forever be the Number One Idol in the Universe - Sayaka Maizono.

And maybe she'll win the lottery prize of hanging with Sayaka (or so rumors on 2ch have been saying) that comes with buying a CD in person too, if she can just spin and get it before any of the disgusting otaku fanboys do. She's even the first in line! She's waited hours for this, as a huge idol superfan.

Nothing can stop her now.

Except security, of course, but she's innocent, she swears. But once she's at the table that's set up, she can't help but gasp in awe for a couple of seconds before she finally speaks up. ]

I'd like three copies of the new album! [ One to listen to, one to keep and one to loan, obviously. ] Oh, and if you could sign them, that'd be great, too...

[ She wonders if buying three copies means she can do the lottery three times, though. There's only one gold ball that wins the Grand Prize and her luck has been a rather hit or miss, so having three gos at it would be nice.

Just don't mind the fact that she looks awfully suspicious for a customer. ]

[ It takes nearly all of Nico's willpower not to chastise Sayaka for making her wait for so long. But she also understood the trials and tribulations of being a full idol, something that was rather different than the life of a school idol. Of course, now that she had graduated, being a school idol just wasn't possible anymore.

If she wanted to reach the top of the universe, she had to go further than ever before on her own.

Maybe grabbing a connection like this was her big chance! Smiling from ear to ear, she tries to put on her most innocent and radiant act she could muster up, although it isn't a complete lie. ]

Nico is really happy that she gets to spend her time with a fellow idol, so Nico-nii doesn't mind at all! ☆

[ That much is the truth. But when the limo shows up, something inside of the smaller idol screeches to a halt like a mental record player scratching loudly in her ears. That. That is a limo, something that Nico has only seen on television and her wildest dreams.

And there it is, right before her eyes.

But she forces herself not to act surprised, instead just going inside as she suppresses all of the awe and fascination at just how amazing this all is. ]

This isn't half bad, although my limo is way roomier. [ Nico Yazawa: queen of lies. At least she's getting comfy as she grabs her seatbelt, though, buckling herself up. ] So, where are we going?

[ Now that they're inside, she can raise the sunglasses to rest on her hat, at least. Since she has no need to hide her identity to a fellow idol now that they're hidden from the public eye. ]

[Luckily for her, the fellow idol didn't seem to be annoyed by how much she had made her wait. Sayaka's letting out a sigh of relief as she quickly follows Nico inside the limousine and fastens her seat belt once she gets comfortable in her seat.

After telling the limo driver a few directions, he immediately pulls out of the parking lot and begins their joy ride.]

Wow, that's so amazing! [Sayaka looks in awe by that claim.] Then again, I shouldn't be surprised at all! The μ's are quite popular and I can totally imagine that Nico Nii-chan has the fanciest limo!

[If Sayaka had to be perfectly honest, she wasn't quite sure if she fully believed that claim. Then again, school idols were becoming very popular. So for all she knew, they could have been famous enough to get large limos. They did have that airplane in that Wonderful Rush PV she watched.]

Well, I was thinking about taking a quick drive over to this really amazing sweets shop! They serve the best cakes and coffee. [Suddenly, she stops herself from talking. Oh no! What if Nico didn't like sweets? At the sudden realization, she waves her hands in the air.] Ah! Do you even like sweets, Nico-chan? If not, we can always go somewhere else to grab a bite to eat!

[Not only was Sayaka hungry, she figured that Nico must have been hungry too, especially with how long she made the poor girl wait.

While Nico was darling even with the sunglasses, she was even cuter when she got to see her full face. She finds herself giggling, this was such a lucky day for her!!]

Of course! μ's wouldn't have been able to achieve their ultimate goal of winning the Love Live without me, and it's only natural that a Top Idol such as myself to be living in luxury.

[ Having a limo, apparently, is a part of that so called luxury. But it's okay. Sayaka doesn't need to know the truth... since it's not as if she's trying to impress her favorite idol or anything. Nope. Not at all.

Nico's favorite idol is Nico, and nobody will catch her saying otherwise.

Probably. ]

But did you say sweets? [ This is the part where her eyes widen with sheer excitement. Guess what her favorite food is? ] Nico really loves sweets! ♡ It's my number one thing to eat... but don't tell anyone that, okay? Nico doesn't want people thinking that Nico's fat because Nico likes eating sweets. ♪

Edited 2017-07-16 00:53 (UTC)

[She's been giggling non stop at her. Nico please, you are too good! She's already having the time of her life.]

Of course! You are a very important member. I've been wanting to tell you this, but you are my favorite from the μ's! So, it's such an honor to meet you in person, Nico-chan!

[From the moment Sayaka first laid eyes on a μ's PV, Nico had caught her eye from the very beginning. There was something about her that was refreshing. The more videos she watched.

She could tell from a glance that she took being an idol seriously and it made her respect her. Sayaka had a feeling that if Nico were to become a full time idol, she had a great future ahead of her.]

You do?! [Sorry Nico, Sayaka's just going to grab your hands and stare at you with glittering eyes.] Mine too!! It's always wonderful to meet another sweet fanatic. We'll have to eat a lot of cake together, then!

Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret between the two of us. [She winks at her.] I totally understand. I love sweets but I have to keep it hidden, too! They also make me watch my diet too.

[Especially from her managers.]

[ While Nico would normally have a bit of mixed feelings about the giggles, when it's coming from one of her very favorite idols, she doesn't mind at all. And besides, Sayaka's laughter is genuine, not something that's making fun of her, as most people do. But just when she's about to say something, anything, she hears right from Sayaka's lips that her favorite member is her.

It's... her?

Cue jaw towards floor as her eyes widen ever so slightly. But she soon catches herself just in time for her hands to be taken, having Sayaka's eyes glitter like the stars at her. ]

R— Really...? [ Wait, no, that's not confident at all. Let's try this again. ] Of course Nico's your favorite! Nico is the Number One Idol in the Universe, after all.

[ Anyone who thinks otherwise can get off the limo. Right here. Right now. ]

But Nico is reeeeally glad that she has a sweets comrade! And Nico promises that she won't tell, either, okay? So just this once we can have all the sweets that we want!

Edited (talking in third person is hard) 2017-07-20 08:54 (UTC)

Yes, really! [Was it just her? Or did Nico sound a little nervous for just a brief moment?] I can definitely see that! You have this really charming aura that surrounds you. When I look at you, I just can't stop smiling! I hope I get to see more of you in the idol industry.

[Not only did Sayaka like her as her favorite member of the μ's, but she also inspired her as a fellow idol. Seeing someone like her made her feel even more determined to work hard and make other fans smile as well.

She definitely looks forward to the day Nico becomes a big time idol. Maybe one day, they'll get to perform together and even face off as rivals.

Suddenly, the limo comes to a complete halt. Looks like they have reached their destination!]

Oh! Looks like we are here. Are you ready Nico-chan? The sweets await us!

[She lets go of Nico's hands and reaches over to grab her own pair of sunglasses to hide her indentity. The last thing she wanted was some paparazzi following her and interrupting them on their cute idol date.]

[ If Sayaka asks, it was definitely just her. Nevertheless, Nico brightly grins in response to her statements. She can honestly feel her ego slowly and steadily increasing. Thanks a lot Sayaka, you have finally given her the ego boost that she so desperately did not need. ]

Well, that's why I was named Nico! To make sure that everyone has a smile on their face!

[ That's... probably not the reason, but sure, she can bullshit this kind of excuse to make herself look better, easy. When the limo finally stops, she lowers her sunglasses to hide her own identity. There is no way she's allowing any paparazzi to show up and take scoop photos of the two of them together. Not today. ]

But of course I'm ready! Sweets Heaven, here I come!!

[ Just. Let her take her seatbelt off, first. ]

[The name was certainly fitting for the adorable young idol. Her parents did well in chosing a name. There was no doubt that she was going to make a lot of fans smile and Sayaka hoped that she would be there to see her bright future.]

It's a lovely name that is perfect for you!

[With a tiny laugh, she reaches over and helps Nico undo the seatbelt before making her way out of the limo. Before leaving, she tells the driver to park somewhere far away in order to prevent attention.]

The owner of this place knows me really well! To avoid paparazzi, they let me sit in a room towards the back of the store. So, we should be able to chat without any interuption!

[When the girls step out of the limo, Sayaka does a tiny little spin and points at the restaurant that was presented in front of them. It was a cute cafe that was of fairly decent size. There was a sweet aroma surrounding the place, indicating that it sold mainly sweets and baked goods. The restaurant's name "Angel Mort" was plastered close by the rooftop of the shop.]

Ta-da! This is my favorite place to eat. The girls working here also have the cutest outfits!

[ Perfect, she says. Lovely, she says. Two of Nico's favorite words, spoken to her by one of the top idols hitting the charts today. If this was a dream, nobody pinch her, please! Although she does note that Sayaka's pretty smart in planning things out, given that she asks for the limo driver to park somewhere inconspicuous and hidden, and that the cute little cafe had her as a regular.

This would probably be one of - if not the most - exciting days in her life. With a bit of a overjoyed huff of excitement, Nico rests her hands on her cheeks as she stares at all of this with wide-eyed awe, gasping in what seems to be a rather pleasurable surprise.

Angel Mort is definitely the cafe for those with the sweetest of teeth, and it's only fair to say that Nico is, in fact, one of those girls. ]

Wooooow. This. This is so amazing!? It's like I died and went to Idol Heaven, where they only serve sweets and you could never get fat from eating them...

[ Okay, that part is definitely a 'in your dreams' moment for sure. ]

[Nico's reactions were just too cute for this world. If she wanted to be corny, it was as if a love arrow was shot straight through her heart. Sayaka was already charmed over just from when she first started paying attention to the μ's, but the other girl was only winning her heart even more!

All of the girls in the μ's were darling, but Nico was without a doubt; her best girl. ♥]

Oh right?! I would love to live in Idol Heaven myself! Can you imagine eating all the sweets without worrying about getting fat? It would be like a dream come true.

[With a bounce in her step, Sayaka opens the doors to the restaurant. Just as soon as she walks in, the owner recognizes her and greets both of the girls in the utmost friendly tone. After conversing with the owner, both young idols are lead towards the back of the store and into a secret room. Even if this was a room that was away from the general public, it still had a spacious window to look outside. The room was also decorated with a vintage style. It was almost as if it was made for couples that were dating?]

Here we go! It's basically like we have our own private room where we can chat and eat all we want without getting disturbed.

Edited 2017-08-14 06:52 (UTC)

[ If Nico was a cupid, then she would have definitely done that by now. But she's confident that her charms were enough, especially given that she was a up and coming idol instead of just a school idol. ]

It really would be. Isn't it unfair that we have to watch our weight and what we eat because we're idols?

[ There's only the slightest hint of annoyance; her true voice slipping through the cracks for a moment before the doors open and she finds herself beaming at the owner instead of narrowing her eyes in frustration, if only because she can see all the sweets around in tables that the other customers have ordered.

But the room that they were ushered into was definitely rather spacious and quaint. Not that it was a bad thing, naturally. It was gorgeous. And definitely almost a couple-y kind of place. ]

Phew... it's okay to take off the hat and glasses now, right?

[ Because she's doing just that as she practically bounces into her seat. ]

I agree with that! It's not fair on us at all. We should be allowed to eat whatever we please. We have plenty of training time to work off those calories.

[Nico speaks the words of truth! If there was one thing Sayaka could change in the idol industry, it was to be able to eat all the sweets they desired. They did a lot of dancing, which was way to exercise off cake calories.]

Yes, it is! It's safe here and we're free from the public eye.

[She quickly follows Nico's actions by taking off her own hat and sunglasses. There was already a sense of freedom when she liberated herself from the cover gear. Now she can focus her full attention on the other girl, along with enjoying desserts. She couldn't have asked for a better day than this! It's been a while since she got to relax. While she loved her career, it was nice to be able to have a easy going day and not worry about too much. Days like this were rare.

Her eyes scan through the menu that was placed upon the tables.]

Nico-chan! Do you have a favorite dessert?

Right?!

[ Her single word is so enthused that she even slams her hands on the table. That was a little more overdramatic, but her point still stands nevertheless. But just give her a moment to finally take her seat, legs crossed one over the other as she folds her arms, downing the obligatory green tea on the table before slamming that, too.

There's something about the way she's presenting herself that's a lot different than how she is in public. Which might be a mistake, given that she usually never acts like her normal self in front of anybody besides the other members of μ's. ]

As for my favorite... probably strawberry shortcake? What's yours?

Nico-chan, you are so cute!!!

[Oh goodness. Nico's enthusiastic and overdramatic reaction was so adorable, that Sayaka couldn't contain herself! In some ways, it was a surprise since she was so used to the happy NICO NICO NII persona that she's seen from the PVs.

If she had to be honest, she was liking this side of Nico. She still adored her idol persona, but this trait of her was too adorable and it would be cute to see her act like this more often.]

What a good choice! Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorites too.

[The delectable sweet tastes of those strawberries melting in her mouth, along with the cream was making her hungry just thinking about it!]

It's so hard to decide. I think it's a toss up between tiramisu and strawberry shortcake! If possible, I would totally go on a sweet binge and try all the cakes.

Eh?

[ That causes her to pause slightly, twirling a strand of hair idly around her finger as she glances away in what seems to be a bit of a huff, one that's slightly embarrassed. ]

Of course I'm cute... I'm an idol, after all.

[ She says it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, even when it isn't. ]

Well, if we can try each cake, we can. I'll share my half, too.

Edited 2017-08-27 22:17 (UTC)

[At that little huff, she can't help but grin. Everything about her was just too cute for this world.]

Well, that is true! I hope it's all right if I say this, but I think you are one of the cutest idols I've ever come across.

[NAILED IT that and she's always here to praise Nico any day of the week.]

That's a great plan! That's sweet of you to share your half. I'll also be more than happy to share mine as well.

[At that moment, one of the waitresses walks in, ready to take their orders.]

Oh! What great timing, we were just discussing what to get. I'll take a tiramisu cake with a sea salt coffee, please.

...

[ Nico is really happy to hear that she's one of the cutest idols that Sayaka's ever met. She accepts all of the compliments and praises. This is why she likes her new idol friend.

She can call Sayaka that, can't she? ]

That's perfect. Nico thinks sharing is caring, after all! ☆

[ She... doesn't actually think that completely, but it will probably make her look better in Sayaka's eyes. But when the waitress walks in, Nico smiles in the way that only an idol can. ]

And I'll be getting a strawberry shortcake and orange juice with it.

[Yes she can!!! ♥ Nico get special rights to that.

Once the waitress finishes taking their orders, she gracefully leaves with with a serene smile. The service never failed to amaze her, every one of the girls were so nice and adorable.]

While we're waiting on our food, tell me about yourself, Nico-chan! I became a huge fan of you and the μ's after watching several of your PVs. Do you have a favorite song?

[ Excellent.

Nico hums a little bit inquisitively when Sayaka talks about the group and there PVs and it honestly makes her chest warm, making her rather pleased with herself and her achievements. Tapping her fingers on the table, she mulls it all over in her head. ]

Hmm, that's a hard question. One of my favorites is Natsuiro Egao de 1, 2, Jump! but I also really liked the dance routine for Kaguya no Shiro de Odoritai, too... [ Note that both of these songs have her as the center. ] But what about you?

Edited 2017-09-01 15:26 (UTC)

I love both of those songs as well, especially Kaguya no Shiro de Odoritai. I especially loved your solo in that song and the way you said Nico~ in the middle of the song was the cutest thing ever! [Also because, surprise Nico being the center in those songs were the reasons why she liked them as well. Bias? What bias???

In response to her question, Sayaka sits there and ponders for a moment as she was mentally shuffling through the μ's songs. She had so many songs that she loved that it was so hard to narrow down which ones were her favorites.]

Korekara no Someday will always be a favorite of mine because that was the first μ's song that I listened to, so it has a special place in my heart! I also love Aishiteru Banzai. It was really beautiful and I can almost feel the emotion when I listen to it.

It's one of my most favorite nico~☆ that I've ever had in a song!

[ Besides her singles, it's the only time she's ever said it. Then again her solos are different than μ's songs, so she won't mention it yet. She'll bring it up later, probably. ]

But Aishiteru Banzai, huh... That's one of Maki's strongest songs that she wrote.

[ But enough about that. ] So, have you heard any of my singles, Sayaka-chan? I gotta know if you have a favorite!

[ And there it is. ]

Ah! Maki-san is your group's composer, isn't she? She does such a good job, especially in Aishiteru Banzai.

[It almost brought her to tears, it was one of the most powerful modern idol songs she's heard in a while. Just from that one song, she could feel how close the girls became at that moment.]

Of course! I wouldn't be worthy of being called a Nico-chan fan if I never listened to a solo song of yours. [She giggles.]

Nico puri♥Joshi dou has got to be my favorite! It's so catchy and everytime I listen to it, I can't help but dance and sing along. You must have had a lot of fun recording that song, it's so... Nico-chan!

She really does great work -- ah! But don't tell Maki-chan I said that if you see her, okay?

[ Nico says that with quite a bit of frustration as she points at Sayaka. ]

But hm, you're right, it's one of my favorite solos. I even have my own solo CD mix with some of the μ's songs and even the BiBi subunit songs, too. And I'm known as the best rapper, too.

Okay! I promise I won't say a word. Your secret is safe with me, Nico-chan!!

[Was she showing a hint of tsundere behavior towards Maki? Okay that was totally cute and it made Sayaka want to see how all the girls react around each other in their every day lives.]

I have listened to those as well. Your solo of Wild Stars is amazing!! It was treat to hear your deep range of voice. I'm also impressed with your rapping skills as well. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to pull off the rap you did in Wonderful Rush.

[Now she was starting to sound like the fangirl.]

[ And this is why Sayaka is her new best friend, but not like that one meme where she abandoned μ's and made Sayaka her best friend. You know the one. ]

Oh, I'm glad you enjoyed that, Sayaka-chan. But if you're really impressed with my rapping skills, maybe we should do a duet sometime!

I would love to do that!! It will be lots of fun to sing a duet with you.

[Especially considering that Sayaka was not a rapper like Nico, she would love to learn but she didn't think she would ever be as good as the other girl.]

Let's do it. We can have our very own... [She pauses, trying to think of a good name.] NicoSaya collaboration. Plus, it would be such an honor to see your rapping skills up close.

Well, you better make sure you talk to your manager about it. I'm sure it's going to be a really big hit though, so they're definitely not going to say no, especially when they see my raw talent up close and personal!

Edited 2017-09-14 23:47 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry! I will be sure to speak to them. I have a feeling once I tell them about you, they will be eager to start a collaboration with you.

[And who knows, they might even recruit her too. It would be a good connection and a great way for Nico to get started on her solo debut.]

I'm excited for my manager to meet you. With the two of us, I have no doubts that we'll be at the top of the charts for weeks.

Really?!

[ She sounds rather excited, if she's going to be honest here. And if she has the slightest chance of getting a debut, that's a bonus for her, too. ]

I'll definitely owe you one, because we're definitely going to be on the top of those charts for sure.

Hehe, you are sweet but there's no need to owe me! Performing a duet with you is good enough for me and I'm very much looking forward to it.

[It also gave her more reasons to hang out with her! With her job, she doesn't have much freetime to do anything. If she got to spend more time with Nico, it would give her some sort of sense of freedom.

It's then the waitress walks in and sets their cakes in front of them, along with their drinks. Sayaka's eyes were practically sparkling at the sweets.]

Oh yay! Looks like our sweets are here.

I'm glad.

[ It's a little surprising to her to see just how kind Sayaka is to her, and more importantly how the blue haired idol seems to admire her. But when the sweets come in, she can't help but gasp in a rather surprised manner. ]

And wow... they really look good in person, too!

Aren't they beautiful? And I can vouche for their taste! They taste just as good as they look.

[Seeing the other girl's gasp at the sweets causes her giggle. Nico is the only other person that Sayaka has brought to his restaurant (besides her idol group), so it made her happy to see a pleased reaction.

Once the waitress leaves, Sayaka uses her fork to cut off a piece of her cake and pushes her plate towards Nico.]

Here you go! I hope you enjoy.

They really are!

[ But wait a second, she can't just eat the cake just yet, not when they're so beautiful. Which is why she takes out her cellphone, snaps a photo of it, and decides to send it to her friends with this message attached:

Guess where this lovely Nico-nii found the cutest cake in all of the city? ♪ I bet you can't!

Yazawa Nico has her priorities set straight, apparently. ]
;
And thanks. [ Her smile is bright, although it does soften quite a bit. ] If Sayaka-chan says that they're good... then! Thanks for the food!

[ And she will, in fact, take her fork and dig in, part of the cake going straight for her mouth. ]

Mmm~ This is so good!

[Sayaka smiles to herself and even giggles as Nico is taking a picture of the sweets. She has good priorities! This popstar couldn't deny that she loved looking at pictures of food on the Internet.]

You're welcome!

[As she was enjoying her own piece of cake, Sayaka felt happy watching Nico dig into her piece. Not only did she enjoy sweets, it was more fun eating together with another person! It made her especially ecstatic to see the other girl's reaction.]

I'm so happy that you are enjoying it! When I eat these cakes, it feels like I have a slice of heaven in my mouth because of how fluffy they are.

"Slice of heaven", huh... well, I guess that's why it's called Angel Mort!

[ Nico laughs a little bit, looking rather pleased with herself before she takes one of her forks and finally gets a chance to chew on the cake with delight. ]

They really are fluffy.

[There are times that when you realize something, it hits you hard. Right now, this had to be one of those times for Sayaka.

She lets out a gasp.]

You're absolutely right Nico-chan!! Now it all makes sense.

[She's laughing as she says that. Nico is such a good girl.]

Do you have any favorite sweets shops? I'm always looking for recommendations.
