#it was mayu's birthday yesterday and she was well loved

[mutatedmystery]

Is it weird to celebrate a birthday that technically isn't existent to that specific person?

It's her birthday...let her have fun

Plot: Akito, Shigure, Ayame, Mine, Hatori, and Mayu celebrate Akito's birthday

"Why do I have to do this?" The petite brunette asked as she stood in front of the mirror. 

"It's your birthday. You're supposed to have fun on your birthday! You don't know what fun is. That's your problem." Shigure looked amused as he gazed at his future wife. Akito just glared at him, fixing her dress. Although she had wanted a quiet night at home, Shigure had come home that day with flowers and a very short red dress, announcing that they were having dinner and drinks with everyone. It was the last thing she had considered doing on her birthday. 

Before she could say anything in response, she felt Shigure's arms wrap around her waist. "You know, this night is as special to me as it is to you. It was the first time I ever saw you. I had to practically beg for just one glimpse of you." 

His words moved her. Naturally, Akito had no memory of that night but she believed him when he said that it was special to him as well. Still, it didn't change the fact that it was her birthday and they were doing something she had no interest in doing. Although she desperately wanted to complain more than she already had, she decided to just go with the flow. If the night ended terribly, she'd blame it on Shigure. 

The dress he'd gotten her was form fitting but too short for her liking. Shigure went for a more casual look. Initially, he'd wanted to borrow Hatori's suit but Akito had been quick to say how stupid she thought that was. "You know what comes after dinner tonight?" He seemed truly amused as she shook her head. "Birthday sex," he said in a singsong voice. She let out a sigh, facepalming. This was the man she'd agreed to marry. "You're an idiot." 

The drive to the restaurant had been uneventful. Shigure had made several attempts to slide his hand up her dress but she'd slapped his hand away each time. "Not now. This was your idea, remember?" 

As they pulled up to the restaurant, she realized suddenly that she had no idea who he'd actually invited. This whole night out had been something Shigure had decided to do at the last minute and that annoyed her. As they walked into the restaurant, Aktio hid behind her future husband, allowing him to lead the way. 

"Gure-san!" 

Fuck. Not him. Akito found herself feeling even more irritated. Every time they went somewhere with Ayame, something ridiculous always happened. 

"Aya! I've missed you, lover." This happened every single time. Sometimes it annoyed Akito when they acted like this but that was only because they drew too much attention to themselves. She obviously knew Ayame didn’t have real romantic feelings for Shigure. 

"Happy Birthday. You look so cute," said Mine with a smile. Akito was wide eyed, already feeling overwhelmed by everything. It was too much. Hatori and Mayu were also in attendance. These were Shigure's friends, not hers. Hatori had always been someone she was close to, even after the curse broke. The other three, not so much. Mine was nice but sometimes she was too nice and Akito found that frustrating to deal with. Akito often grew irritated whenever she'd hear Mayu say anything negative about Shigure, even when it was playful given that she didn't really understand the difference at times. No one made fun of Akito's man but Akito. 

As soon as Ayame approached her, she seriously considered running to the door. "My dear Akito, I remember this night as if it were yesterday. Gure refused to wait, insisting that he had to meet you that very night." For the most part, she was familiar with the story by now. "Does anyone else find it weird that Shigure fell in love with her when she was a baby or am I just crazy?" Mayuko's question was meant to be serious but everyone laughed, excluding Akito who looked absolutely mortified. 

"What's this?" Ayame lifted Akito’s hand up and his eyes went wide when he saw her engagement ring. Rather than congratulating her, Ayame turned his attention to Shigure. "Gure, you wound me. I suppose I'm really losing you now!" He always had to be so damn dramatic and Akito kind of hated him for it. "Haven't you been married for like a year now?" Akito was serious but everyone laughed. It was all a damn joke to them. Nothing was ever serious. 

Hatori went to stand by her, clearly seeing how uncomfortable she was. "Just do your best to ignore the theatrics. That's what I've done all these years. You didn't want to do this, did you?" Akito shook her head, finally feeling understood. "He made it sound as if the whole thing was your idea, but I knew better than to believe him," Hatori said, taking a sip of his drink. "Congratulations, by the way." Everyone else seemed to be ignoring them. "Thanks." 

Everyone finally took a seat and for a moment, there was silence. Akito was seated next to Shigure, across from Mine. "Can I see the ring?" Mine was looking at her again, smiling. "Uh, sure." Akito held up her hand and was immediately pulled towards the other two women at the table who were eager to see the ring. 

"I'll admit, he did good. I never thought someone like him would be capable of choosing such a pretty ring or even having a woman interested in him long enough to want to marry him," Mayu said. "Ooh what do the stones mean? Are the colors significant somehow?" Mine looked so interested. "Our birthstones," she replied. It had been a few weeks since they'd gotten engaged and Akito still couldn't believe that this was her life now. 

They placed their drink orders and Akito, against her better judgment, ordered a bottle of whisky for everyone. She knew it was a bad idea but everyone else would be drinking and she didn't want to feel left out. It was bad enough that she already felt like no one, including Shigure, was really paying attention to her. That changed as soon as the drinks arrived. 

"In honor of our dear, Akito, let's all take a shot!" Ayame looked around to make sure everyone had a shot and at the count of three, everyone took a shot in honor of Akito. Shigure passed the whisky bottle around, allowing everyone to pour themselves another shot before standing up and giving his own toast. "Another shot in honor of my future wife's birthday. I love you." It was sweet but it did little to lighten Akito's mood. 

After they'd all taken the second shot of the night, Akito poured herself another, much to Shigure's delight. "Akito, be mindful of how much you drink tonight. Keep in mind the hangover you had a few weeks ago," Hatori said, sternly. 

"It's her birthday! Let her have fun." Shigure wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close as she took her third shot of the night. When the food they'd ordered came, there was silence once again as everyone began to eat. Shigure, Mayu and Hatori all ordered beers while Mine and Ayame opted for wine. While everyone was too busy eating to look at her, Akito snatched the bottle of whisky from the center of the table and hid it next to her. 

After everyone had finished eating, it was clear that Ayame was drunk enough to start acting even more theatrical than usual. By now, Akito had taken at least five shots and was pretty shitfaced, too. She did her best to hide it, not wanting to deal with Hatori who always acted like an overbearing parent. Shigure's tolerance for alcohol was much higher than hers and he could tell that she was drunk as a skunk. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she pulled herself onto his lap, straddling him. Everyone stared at them.

"Excuse me, this is a restaurant! You can't do that here!" Ayame once again drew attention to them but Aktio was too drunk to care. Everyone laughed except for Hatori who realized that he now had to be responsible for everyone else. Akito smiled at Shigure, leaning in to kiss his ear. He placed a hand on the small of her back as she began to move her hips against his. This was far from normal behavior for Akito but she'd stopped caring three shots ago. "Mmm I want you to fuck me right here, on this table," she whispered, causing Shigure to laugh out loud. 

All eyes were on them. "It's like having front row seats to a porno! Who has a camera?" Ayame couldn't contain his excitement. 

Akito reached for the bottle of whisky on the table and took a swig, nearly dropping the bottle as she set it down on the table. Her hips continued to move against Shigure's, feeling him begin to stiffen beneath her. "Mmm…" 

Hatori facepalmed, knowing that he would have to be the one to break this up before they were thrown out of the restaurant. He stood up and went over to Akito, attempting to lift her off of Shigure's lap. "Stop, I don't want to," Akito whined like a child, chuckling. Shigure did little to help matters and kept his hands on her back, making it nearly impossible for Hatori to lift her. 

"Come on Haa-san, we're at the back of the restaurant and no one is even looking at us. Let her have fun. You're always ruining everyone's fun," Shigure said, chuckling. He was pretty drunk as well but nowhere near Akito’s level of drunkenness. 

"No, I'm not allowing this. Akito wouldn't want-"

"I do want it!" Now it was Akito drawing the attention to them. 

"No, you're drunk and aren't thinking rationally. This is exactly what I knew would happen. You never listen to me. None of you do," Hatori said, looking directly at Akito, Shigure, and Ayame. "Shigure, get her off your lap. You know she wouldn't want this." 

Shigure did as he was told, much to Akito's dismay. "I hate you," she said, slapping Shigure. "Why would you listen to him? He's not in charge. I'm your god and you must obey me." Her laughter filled the room. It was refreshing to see her so uninhibited. Shigure swore he'd fallen even more in love with her after seeing how sloppy she became when drunk. This wasn't the first time he'd ever seen her drunk but it never ceased to amuse him.

"You are my god, always. Even if no one else can call you that anymore. Alas, I must listen to the good doctor. He knows what's best." Naturally, Shigure was having difficulty restraining himself. All he wanted to do was pick her up and fuck her on the table like she'd asked him to do.

"Shigure, I-" Her words were interrupted as she leaned away and vomited all over Hatori's shoe. Ayame and Shigure couldn't contain their laughter. Shigure held her hair back and Hatori had stepped away, trying to find something to clean his shoe.

"I think it's time that you take her home," he said to Shigure. 

"Oh yes, it's time for…birthday sex," Shigure said in the same singsong voice he'd used earlier that night. With that, they made their way out of the restaurant. Akito puked the entire ride home. Never again, she thought to herself.

2021-08-30 “What are summer memories?” Hayakawa Seira blog [ENG]

Good evening everyone! I’m Hayakawa Seira, I come from Osaka and I’m 21 years old. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

 We’re already in the final stages of August. It’s almost the end of summer isn’t it.

On this day I’ve been wanting to listen to ‘Hitonatsu no Nagasa yori…”

Recently I’ve been addicted to zoning out and listening to music on my veranda at night! The cool air from the air conditioner is nice but the night breeze feels nice too. However, it’s still hot outside so please make sure to take measures against the heat. ☺︎

 Well then, today I’m going to talk a lot about the memories of summer〜!

Thank you for watching our live concert on the 21st and 22nd of August in Fukuoka Marine Messe. Not only to those that came to the venue, but since the concert was live stream there were also many people that were able to have a fun time with us online. It makes me very happy. Everyone, as always, thank you very much ^ ^

The first day was the ceremony commemorating the 10 years since the formation of Nogizaka 46, day two was Momoko-san’s graduation ceremony.

 Unfortunately, last week it was also announced that the date for the Tokyo Dome concert had been postponed. That means that this live concert in Fukuoka will, for the time being, end the Midsummer tour, and that gave me some feelings of nervousness.

Congratulations on your 10-year anniversary Nogizaka46. Thinking about it now, being in this amazing group and thinking about how the senior members built the group’s reputation makes me want to cherish the group even more than before.

I was able to sing these precious songs together with the senior members during the 10th anniversary commemorative ceremony as well as perform in a new song ‘Tanin no Sora ni’. It’s such a bright song and the choreography consists of the choreography of all the title tracks up till now. Dancing it was a lot of fun ^ ^

The final song that we performed ‘Kikkake’ is one of my favorite songs. This is the song that we 11 members of the 4th generation sang during the live concert after overcoming ‘3 nin no Principle’. It’s strange that each time I sing this song the feelings I associate with it change. This time I also felt a different version of ‘Kikkake’. I feel a little more mature than the previous time.

 The second day was Momoko-san’s last live concert. Momoko-san is a very honest and kind person, she often came up to talk to me, smiled at me, just by her being there I felt warm inside. During the 27th single I was glad that I got the opportunity to talk to her even more than I have ever before. It makes me feel sad.

I want to work while cherishing the remaining time we have together.

 This summer tour happened over the course of our 27th single. There was still a lot of things I wasn’t familiar with yet but through the live concerts I was able to face myself and over the course of the single I was able to grow a lot. The feeling of continuing to run forward without giving up is the landscape that everyone I met on the tour help create. It’s all thanks to the fans who continue to support me at all times. Thank you very much.

I’m going to do my best during the 28th single.

 Next, it may be sudden but, the other day on “FNS laugh and music〜 song and laughter festival〜” we performed our 28th single ‘Kimi ni Shikarareta’ for the first time. Did you watch it?? Kakkii was really shining as the center of the song, it’s a fun song.

I love the section of the choreography when Chima-san and I hold hands and spin. She squeezes my hand while smiling at me 〜

I feel like we’re going to start performing it more and more, so I’d be happy if you were to check it out from various camera angles.

Next, I have an announcement regarding the details of the 28th single. This time I’m very pleased to participate in a unit song, ‘Moshimo Kokoro ga Toumei nara”. The unit’s members are 3rd generation members Umezawa Minami-san and Nakamura Reno-san along with Matsuo Miyu-chan and me. It’s a wonderful song so please look forward to it ^ ^

 The other day, the 4th generation members performed at @JAM EXPO2020-2021! Thank you to everyone that came to the venue and to everyone that watched online. This time we performed Girls Rule and all of the 4th generation songs. It’s been a long time since we’ve done an in-person festival, it was super fun, and the time just flew by. I was especially glad that we were able to perform ‘Out of the blue’, “Nekojita Chamomile Tea’ in front of an audience since we’ve never performed it in front of audience before. I saw a lot of towels, uchiwa fans and penlights ^ ^

 After the 5th generation members join, I wonder if we 4th generation members will stop appearing at festivals? Thinking about it makes me sad.

 Time will definitely pass every day, so I want to cherish each and every day ^ ^

We did a flirty pose☺︎

 !!!! The unreliable Q&A!!!!

·         What’s the number one thing that has made you say ‘grrr’ recently?

→After washing my black colored western clothes with my other clothes the black color bled into my white pillow cover, t-shirts, socks and they all became blackish pink. Grrrr….

 Unreliable

·         Which senior member do you want to get closer to?

→On the new song I’m positioned close to Kitano Hinako-san and so I want to take advantage of this opportunity and try to talk to her

Unreliable

·         Can you tell us a behind the scenes story of the Nogizaka Fractal photoshoot!

→During the photoshoot last winter, we took it in what seemed to be a warehouse and it was so cold we were shivering! So nostalgic (o^^o) winter seems as if it’s almost upon us.

Cold or hot, in the end both are good aren’t they.

 Unreliable

·         It’s almost the end of summer and so what are some of the summer memories you had from this year Serra-chan?

→In my work I went to some extremely rural places! It was super fun and felt like a summer vacation ^ ^I’ll tell you more!  

·         During this summer heat I find it difficult to sleep and so I want to know at least one thing you do during you night routine \( ¨̮ )/

→I always have the light dimmed down and once I do that I’m able to fall asleep instantly ^ ^ If I work late at night I find it hard to sleep and so I understand how you feel!

 Unreliable
