Work Text:
If talking about idols, Kagamine Rin, the rising star, would appear first in everyone's minds.
Both her beautiful looks and her flawless skills easily earn her the title the brightest star. Her songs always stay on Oricon’s chart no matter how much time has passed—all it took her was three years to be known worldwidely. Always swarm with work, travel from one to another country without rest, all the money she makes could afford her a comfortable life lasting a lifetime.
She has everything someone normal could never have. They can only look through a small frame of a screen, so lonely it’s pathetic.
Although she's the ultimate idol everyone thinks she’s perfect but there’s one thing that bothers her.
She doesn't have any personal time.
It’s been known that she’s working even on holidays, performing on stage when everyone is with their friends and family.
One could easily imagine how her lover would feel.
"Len, it’s almost midnight, didn’t you say you would meet up with Rin-chan?"
A sudden voice took my attention away from the computer in front. Now facing Kaito, a senior who works at the same company until we become best buddies, he pointed at a clock alarmingly.
Taking a look at time shown at the bottom right on the screen—ah right. It’s already passed 11 pm.
Today is actually Saturday. Which means I didn’t have to do all these work until late like this but I figured if Rin wouldn’t be off until tomorrow midnight anyway I would just do it to pass time. If Kaito hadn’t call out to me I would surely work overtime.
What's about tomorrow? It’s Tanabata, of course.
The day when the cowherd and the weaver girl could meet in years.
Though in my case it would be the singing princess and the programmer guy.
Oh? I didn’t tell you yet?
Rin is actually my girlfriend...ah, no, my wife. My surname is also Kagamine isn’t it?
Although she’s my wife, it’s only on paper. It wasn't announced outside our friends and family—partly because I didn’t particularly like it, and partly because I didn’t want to ruin my loved one's dream. So we both came to an agreement that we keep it in our circle only.
Though to be honest, seeing her in social media with something like 'The dream girlfriend' or 'Future perfect wife' really pissed me off, hearing it make me want to grab a mic and tell them to fuck off MY WIFE.
not that I can do it for real.
Anyway , this is the day we get to meet so I won’t complain much.
As I said, today, or half an hour from now, is Tanabata—but it is also our wedding anniversary too. That is why we both knew even if we can’t meet any other day, this day alone is when we absolutely have to. Even if the magpies is not here to help, we would cross the sky to meet each other.
Just like Hikoboshi and Orihime.
When I was still tidy up, a notification sound take my attention away.
'im sorry i really cant make it today'
That’s so. Today the magpies really don’t come huh.
Fine.
Can’t be help.
Just look at how her schedule is packed up.
And rain is about to fall too.
Ah, so I’m really...
'but
can you come to this place?
the address is...'
This is...?
I’m standing among thousands of people right now.
Actually, these people came to Kagamine Rin’s outdoor concert. I don’t know why they can smile so much when the rain is pouring down.
That’s right. I was told to come here by my wife to her concert
I don’t know what she’s thinking but I can’t ask her now. To be frank, I’m quite happy, because my wife is the brightest on the stage.
How good would it be if I get to see it first.
While I was lost in thought, Rin appeared in my sight. "greetings to all my fanclubs, first of all I want to say thank you for staying with me until this late, I’m really happy that you all do"
Right now she’s wearing a traditional Japanese pink kimono that goes well with her silken smooth skin. The decorating flowers on her head made her face look even more striking when hit with the spotlight. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was as if an angel descended on earth.
Right, as if the weaver girl is really here.
"As we all know, any minute from now will be Tanabata. The day that the cowherd and the weaver girl will meet each other. I would like to perform the last song for the girl and her beloved, Hoshiori uta"
"揺らめく水底に響く 誰かの声
At the bottom of wavering river resound someone voice
私を 呼んでいるの？ せせらぎの向こうから…
Is it calling me? Murmuring something from across..."
The singing voice sounds so sullen compared to earlier lively ones. Her face drenched with rain made it look like she shed a tear.
"岸辺に佇む面影 薄明かりに霞んで 見えないわ
On the bank of river standing someone face but the twilight is hazy, I cant see well
伸ばした手の その先は 果てのない闇に 溶けていく
I stretched out my hand, but after that it's melts away into endless darkness"
Sinking in with the song’s feeling, I can’t make out the sound around me except her beautiful voice, like I’ve been charmed to only look at her and her alone.
and her sapphire eyes met mine in the sea of people.
"星の隠れた夜に あなたを想い歌う
On the night when stars are hiding, I sing my feeling for you
聴こえているのなら、瞬き返して…
If you can hear that, please twinkle to reply"
Is it in my head? or this song she...
"幾年の夜を越え 偲び歌は響く
Beyond of numerous years night, this reminiscene song keeps resound
愛しい彼の星に 祈りが届くまで
Until my prayer can reach at my beloved star"
:Star Weaves Song (Hoshiori no Uta) thanks for translation by ayaa naa source
...sing about me
The song ends eventually. Everyone around me has a drop of tears on theirs including me or her, waiting until she gets her cheerful self back and speaking with mic on again.
"Rin hopes every Orihime and Hikoboshi get to spend their time together with their loved one more. Will the magpies come, no matter how much rain has poured down, but with our hearts connected together Rin believes that we can go anywhere. Thanks everybody for today. Let’s see each other again!"
The spotlight has turned down. The people are returning one by one. I would go and wait somewhere else too if not for rin to go down the stage and walk towards the audience area. At first I thought it was a meet and greet with fan clubs or something like that, but with her walking right up to me I wasn’t so sure now...
Until she is right in front of me I’m certain.
"I’m here for you now, my Hikoboshi"
that tomorrow I would be on the news.
But it’s fine, if that's what she wants I’m okay with it.
Because she’s my Orihime that I love so much.
