Ready For Love: Chapter 1

"Action!" A loud but sharp voice rang throughout the large room. Everyone was silent, looking on to the two gorgeous actors on set. One was a voluptuous woman with blond hair and large blue doe-like eyes; the other was Nakao Senri.

Tears filled the girl's eyes; she looked absolutely heartbroken. "Why? Hiro-kun? Why could you never love me?" She cried out, her hands reaching out towards him and Nakao turned away from her sharply.

"I-I just can't Yumi! I'm sorry, it's not that I don't like you but I cannot return your feelings." He bowed his head with shame, his light brown hair covering his dark cinnamon eyes. She looked stricken, as if she still could not believe his words. She fell to her knees, erratically grabbing onto his arm.

"N-no! Don't leave Hiro!" She screamed, clinging to his arms desperately.

"Stop embarrassing yourself. If you really loved me; you would understand my feelings." Nakao said harshly, glaring down at the beautiful blond. He ripped his arm from her grasp before turning and walking out the door.

"Cut! Perfect! That's a rap guys." The director called out, before getting off his chair and extending his hand to Nakao, and then to the actress whose name was Hikari Misa.

Nakao turned to Hikari, smirking playfully, "Did you really like my arm that much Hikari? It felt like you were about to rip my arm from me." She swatted after him before stating equally playful.

"Whatever Nakao! What use do I have with your skinny female-like arms? I'm only interested in real men." She flipped her hair at him snobbishly, then giggled childishly as she winked at him.

The two were very good friends; they had originally met each other during their freshman year in college and hated each other instantaneously. He thought she was a stuck up bitch and she thought he was a pretty boy who hated everybody; but they were very alike and bound to become friends sooner or later.

No one understood their relationship at first; everyone thought that since they were so much alike; they would continuously hate each other with a passion. But Nakao understood Hikari like the back of his hand and her, him.

She knew all his secrets and he knew all of hers; they've seen each other through the bad times and the good times, and they would always watch out for the others' back. They were almost like siblings.

Still, because of this, they never liked acting in movies together. Hikari was almost always the main female protagonist that men would drool after and Nakao would almost always be the main male protagonist in his movies; they hated the kissing scenes because it was almost like kissing their sibling. So, they usually deny any role that had them as a couple.

They were famous for their very dramatic, very passionate, and very emotional acting. And because of it, they were admired and loved by many females, who loved any movie they've acted in.

But even still, Nakao Senri was still not happy.

He was still heartbroken after five years; he was still truly, madly, deeply in love with Nanba Minami. Even if, he has not talked to his sempai in five years, even if he hasn't heard his voice in five years, and the only time he ever gets to see him are in sempai's modeling posters; it can still be said that Nakao Senri was in love with Nanba Minami.

Even if Nanba-sempai would never return his feelings; even if he's already been rejected; even if he's already accepted the rejection gracefully; it could not be helped that he still carried feelings for the older man. Because Nakao, even though he was sometimes a little dramatic sometimes and sort of irrational, still believed in a thing called true love. And because of this, he would have to live with these feelings until one day he could finally move on, like he had promised Ashiya he would.
