The boy turned around and as he met her gaze, his face broke into a cheerful smile as if her face had brighten up his night better than the moon could, and greeted her just as cheerfully.
Their friends continued to play and fool around, leaving the two to a world of their own. The pair stayed in silence as they basked in the company of the other, speaking occasionally but mostly contented to be in the presence of the other.
Their leader of the gang of friends decided to call it a night after some time. Everyone agreed, including one boy in particular who nodded his head with a word of agreement and small smile. Noticeably quiet but he held his own mysterious charm.
The group then headed back together. Three of the boys from the gang walked ahead, leaving the boy and the girl, and another pair behind. The boy with the cheerful smile realized the girl who lit up his world wasn't beside him, so he turned around and called out to her.
She grinned as she quickly hurried to catch up to him.
They walked side by side, without noticing the two friends they left behind and the dark cloud that followed.
The mysterious boy was facing a small internal conflict of his own while the other girl in the group, with a brilliant smile that lit up her dimpled face, held on to her own feelings of affections for said boy.
She watched with a heavy heart as he walked with a distant look. Still, as determined as she was,she tried approaching him with a genuine smile.
An attempt at small talk was made, he politely nodded and smiled but said nothing more before walking away again.
Ahead of the two, the very pair from earlier had started singing to a tune of their own - a cheerful song of falling in love, with hopes that it expressed their feelings without having to put it straight in words.
The girl with the dimple smile, decided not to allow the distant aura the broody boy was giving off to throw her off. So she tried again and got out another smile and nod from him. She distracted him again by pointing out to the stars of the night, he smiled and agreed at her words.Still, she failed to capture his attention entirely as he tuned out again and into his silent mood.
He walked ahead, catching up to something, or rather someone, that seem to be beyond his reach - as heartbreaking as it was, and not realizing it was the same for the girl he failed to notice he had left behind.
And so, with the singing pair still caught up in their whirlwind sweet romance, the boy proceeded to serenade the girl of his dreams whenever he could - with a disarming smile and a body language that didn't fail to show how much he longed to tell her what he really felt.
Still, he was fidgeting on how to get his words out, afraid the song wasn't enough. He quickly walked ahead as he contemplated his thoughts. The pretty girl was left confused so she quickly called out to him. He turned around at the sound of her voice. He curiously, and amusedly, gave her his undivided attention. With all the courage and bearings she had, she confessed her feelings for him.
As she did so, little did they know, the pair behind had stopped as they overheard the words that left her lips. Stunned, they stood behind in silence. One of them in particular, had a pained look.
Feeling as if his heart was breaking into pieces before his very eyes, the distant boy's eyes fell downcast as he tried to contain the torrent of emotions.
The boy being confessed to however, was the opposite of the former as his eyes lit up with joy and a grin spread over his boyish features.
He affirmed the feeling was completely mutual and bravely decided he was to show the girl standing before him how he felt her - his very own feelings. They took a step closer to one another as their faces closed the small distance between them.
Deciding it was now or never when it's too late, the other boy behind them quickly called out to the girl - effectively disrupting the pair's moment. He politely asked for a moment to talk to her alone, and the cheerful boy's grin faded and changed as he realized what was going on. Still, he turned away and allowed them a moment alone - but the expression on his face clearly showed his unhappiness and slight worry at the other boy's forthcoming words.
The former took a deep breath as he asked if it was alright for him to tell what was on his mind and more importantly - what's in his heart.
She nodded and he quickly gathered what was left of hope. She waited as the very boy who held her affection, stood behind them - trying his best to not rear his green eye monster and to give them the privacy they deserved.
The former had his hidden feelings of affections for the girl before him spilling forth from his lips. He revealed in brave honesty that he had fallen her. She stood there in surprise while the latter boy turned around shell-shocked at the confession - unable to hide the fact he had been listening in as hard as he had tried not to. He quickly turned away again as the girl spoke up. With a regretful expression, she explained her heart belonged to another. The boy who had just confessed accepted it with as much grace he could muster - saying it was alright and he understood.
She smiled in gratitude at his understanding.
He offered his hand as a sign of a new friendship.
She took it with a brilliant smile and he offered one of his own. However, the boy who had the claim to the girl's heart was unsettled at the new turn of events. He realized he now had a rival in love as as much as he tried to contain his jealousy - it was inevitable. Seeing as it was his own good friend who harbored the very same feelings for the girl who was his world, it brought upon a slight conflict within him.
Besides him however, the other girl from before had her own feelings of conflict as she had just witnessed the boy whom she love confessed to her best friend. Her genuine feelings for him had fell unnoticed before the very boy's eyes.
Before she could wallow anymore in sadness, the leader of their gang came up to her and pointed out the fireworks were to begin. She nodded in silent tears. Her best friend noticed her absence and quickly went over to the former to pull her over. With amazed looks on their faces as they watched the fireworks, the seven admired the scene before their eyes - each with various thoughts of their own. The boys went off to play with sparklers as the girls sat down for a moment to themselves. They sang a song that seem to convey their feelings and with a brave front, the girl commented aloud how she hoped their friendship would always be as wonderful as it was. Her best friend, also her rival in love, smiled and sincerely promised her that it always would. Both girls smiled as the former realized nothing should come between their friendship - even if it was love.
The gang then suddenly decided it was time for a little ball-playing since the atmosphere needed to be lighten up. And so play they did, to the point where the very boy with new conflicted emotions almost forgot about his earlier disgruntlement about his good friend's feelings for the girl he was in love with. His other good friend then gently reminded him to go over to her to sort things out.
The girl of affection was happily enjoying herself with his good friend as they tossed the ball back and forth in a playful manner.
As he walked over, the scene displeased him so and pain overtook his usual cheerful self.
Oblivious to the pain that the boy was dealing with, the pair continued playing. The other boy was contented enough to be able to keep his friendship with the girl and minded nothing else but a cherished time of being with her - even as a friend.
They continued at their little game - almost too absorbed in it to notice anything, or anyone else.
But of course, the heart's especially sensitive for the one person who takes the high pedestal position in one's life. The girl felt her loved one's presence and she abruptly turned around, slightly surprised to see him standing distantly off to one side.
Her features lit up shades brighter at the sight of him as she hurried over to him with the ball in her hands. With a hopeful smile, she offered the ball to the flustered and annoyed boy.
He however, turned away - showing his obvious discomfort and jealousy at her being so close to his good friend. Good-natured as she was, she thought nothing of it and persistently offered him the ball by bringing it over and around him, still with a cheerful smile on her face.
Yet he stood with a stubborn look on his face despite her efforts.
Her coaxing did nothing to cool his jealousy as he turned around and gave the ball back to her.
With a smug look, he gestured towards the other boy standing by the other side and motioned her to play with the latter instead. The girl however, was disappointed by his behavior and lightly annoyed at the childishness he was intent on showing.
She took off for the other direction and quickly located the other boy who was just about to leave. She requested if he would toss the ball for her and he obliged good-naturedly.
Of course the former boy was even more annoyed that she really did as he had said - yet there was nothing he would do but glare pointedly at their direction, envious at the easy and casual interaction the pair seem to share.
Jealousy seem to cloud over his rationality as he stood fuming, not noticing the pair had left together once they were done playing.
By the time he did notice, they were already gone, leaving him utter dissatisfaction, disappointment and unhappiness.
The leader of their tight-knit gang decided the silliness went beyond hand as he advised the jealous boy to sort out his emotions and carefully decide what he was to do instead of acting immature and showing traits that wouldn't earn him points with the girl he loves. So the former took his time to contemplate before breaking out into a song to convey his feelings. She came out and continued the duet, conveying her own feelings as well, but not quite ready to look at him in the eye.
Slowly but confidently, he made his way to her. With a careful and hopeful gaze, he asked if it would be alright for him to be with her.
He offered his hand out to her and without hesitance, she reached out to softly place her hand in his.
They held hands as indescribable content showed evidently upon their facial features.
With hands carefully entwined, they made their way together as they continued with their song.
He apologized for his behavior as did she. With a bashful smile, he soldiered on to say the four loveliest syllables - 愛してる. She replied with smile as she affectionately affirmed those very words.

And that was the 'story' of the act scenes from AAA's 5th Attack for their 2nd anniversary at Budokan. Absolutely Misako X Nissy pairing all the way. Okay, so there was more to the story and I cut it short cause really, uploading pics is such a long wait and I've been at it for almost 3 hours now. Besides that though, back to the DVD - it had me absolutely spazzing over the cuteness of this pairing and the fact that Nishijima is absolutely childishly adorable when he's jealous, rofl. And Atae Shinjiro - he just wins me over as he is =D
