Oshi No Ko: Duet of Destinies

Orphanage walls whispered loneliness, but in Akira Ueno's heart burned a hunger for the spotlight. His voice, his moves were his only weapons against a world that saw him as invisible. Talent shows and underground gigs became his battlefields, fueled by dreams of escape and a desperate need to be seen. Whispers of record labels and fame swirled, a tantalizing glimmer just beyond his grasp. But fate took a cruel turn. A blinding flash, a truck, then darkness. Yet, a warm voice whispers a second chance, a new world. Transmigrated into the world of Oshi no Ko, Akira now holds the keys to potential stardom. Can he navigate this new path, and with a certain rising idol, discover how to love and be true to themselves? ====== Some more information before you hop into the fic: This book is very much inspired by the movie Yesterday and a fanfic I read: The Betrayed Hero and the Idol, but I want to keep the supernatural stuff to a minimum. Also, Akira will be using songs from this world as they don't exist in the world of Oshi No Ko. Akira is a performer, not a songwriter and the only one who would know the songs are not his is him. For full transparency I write the novel myself and use AI to proofread and be an editor for my work. I am more familiar with pop and rnb music so that is what I will be using most likely Since the timeline in OnK is confusing, I am going to go ahead and make my own: Ai Birthday: Jan 25, 2002 Akira Birthday: June 11, 2002 Aqua and Ruby birthday: April 28, 2018 Date when Akira Transmigrates: October 3, 2019

Sexy Back

(A/N: Valentine here! Thought I forgot about you huh? Don't worry I have plans for this story. And I could never abandon my baby.)

The first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the tangled sheets. I blinked awake slowly, my body deliciously heavy with the lingering satisfaction of the night before. Beside me, Ai stirred, her bare skin brushing against mine as she nestled closer.

"Mmm, good morning," she murmured, her voice husky with sleep. Her eyes fluttered open, a slow, contented smile spreading across her face as her gaze met mine.

"Morning, beautiful," I replied, brushing a stray lock of hair from her cheek. "Sleep well?"

Ai stretched languidly, her body arching against mine in a way that made my breath catch. "Better than well. Someone wore me out last night."

I grinned. "Is that a complaint?"

She laughed, the sound rich and warm. "Definitely not. In fact..." She rolled over, straddling me in one smooth motion. Her hair fell around us like a curtain, cocooning us in our own private world. "I think I'm going to need that a lot more often, superstar."

Her lips found mine, a slow, deep kiss that ignited my senses all over again. My hands slid up her back, tracing the curve of her spine, marveling at the softness of her skin.

She rocked against me, a teasing promise of pleasure that made me groan against her mouth. It would be so easy to get lost in her, to let the world fall away and spend the entire day in this bed, in her arms.

But reality intervened in the form of a buzzing alarm clock, the shrill beep startling us apart. Ai sighed, dropping her forehead against mine. "Duty calls?"

I chuckled ruefully, my hands settling on her hips. "For both of us. You've got filming, and I've got a studio meeting."

She pouted, her bottom lip jutting out temptingly. "Being an adult sucks sometimes."

"True," I agreed, stealing one more quick kiss before gently shifting her off me. "But just think, the sooner we get our work done, the sooner we can come back to this."

Ai's eyes sparkled with mischief and promise. "I like the way you think, Akira."

We untangled ourselves reluctantly, the cool air of the room a shock after the warmth of our cocoon. As I watched Ai move about the room, her naked form bathed in golden morning light, I felt a rush so strong it nearly knocked me off my feet.

This woman, this incredible, talented, sexy, loving woman, was mine. And I was hers, body, heart, and soul.

It was a realization that filled me with a sense of wonder, of gratitude, and just a touch of healthy fear. Because as I watched her, as I drank in the sight of her, I knew.

I would do anything, be anything, to keep her by my side. To make her happy, to support her dreams, to build a life with her.

She had awakened something in me, a fierce, protective love that went beyond anything I had ever known.

My very own beautiful beast.

As I stepped out of the bedroom, I was greeted by the flickering glow of the TV. Aqua sat on the couch, his eyes glued to the screen, a bowl of cereal balanced precariously on his lap.

"Morning, Aqua," I said, stifling a yawn as I padded into the living room.

He glanced up, his gaze sharp and assessing. "You're still here," he commented, his tone neutral but his eyes holding a glint of something I couldn't quite decipher.

I shrugged, trying to play it cool. "Yeah, well, you know. It was a long night."

Aqua raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Right."

I felt a flush creep up my neck. Damn this kid and his perceptiveness. "What are you watching?" I asked, desperate to change the subject.

He turned back to the TV, his attention already drifting. "Some documentary about penguins. Did you know they mate for life?"

"Uh, no. I didn't."

Aqua hummed, shoveling a spoonful of cereal into his mouth. "Yup. Once they find their partner, that's it. They're committed."

I had a feeling we weren't just talking about penguins anymore. I shifted awkwardly, suddenly very aware of my rumpled clothes and the hickey blooming on my collarbone.

"Guess that's something me and penguins have in common huh?" 

Aqua nodded, seeming satisfied. "Good. That's good." 

Is this seriously supposed to be a toddler? I coughed. "Well, I'm off to practice, you have a good rehearsal alright Aqua?" 

"Bye Akira, see you tonight." Aqua replied, not taking his eyes off the screen. 

The bell above the diner door chimed cheerfully as I pushed my way inside, the familiar scent of coffee and frying bacon enveloping me like a warm hug. This place held a special kind of nostalgia for me - it was where Ai and I had shared our first real conversation, where we'd connected over pancakes and the perils of idol life.

I couldn't help but smile at the memory as I made my way to the counter, the cracked vinyl of the stools as comforting as an old friend.

"Well, look who it is!" The waitress, a woman a little older than me with kind eyes and a perpetually flour-dusted apron, grinned at me from behind the register. "Our very own rising star!"

I smiled. "Morning, Makoto. Just here for my usual to-go order."

She waved a dismissive hand, already reaching for the largest to-go cup. "You're too modest. I watched your debut last night. You and those boys were electric!"

As she busied herself with the coffee machine, I heard a gasp from behind me. "Oh my god, it's you!"

I turned to find a teenage girl, her eyes wide and her hands clasped to her chest. "You're Akira from X-Factor! I was at your debut show last night!"

Her voice rose in pitch and volume with each word, drawing the attention of the other patrons. Suddenly, I found myself surrounded, a sea of excited faces and outstretched hands.

"Can I get an autograph?"

"Please, can we take a selfie?"

"I bought your single the moment it dropped!"

It was overwhelming, a tidal wave of enthusiasm and adoration that I wasn't quite prepared for. But as I signed napkins and posed for photos, a smile stretching my cheeks, a realization began to dawn.

This was fame. Not the small-scale, local recognition I'd experienced before, but the real deal. The kind of fame that made strangers feel like they knew you, like your music had touched their lives in some profound way.

It was humbling, exhilarating, and just a little bit terrifying.

By the time I managed to extricate myself from the impromptu fan meet, my coffee was waiting for me, Sachiko watching with an amused twinkle in her eye.

"Better get used to that," she chuckled, handing over my cup. "Something tells me this is just the beginning for you."

I took the coffee with a grateful smile, my mind still reeling. She was right. Last night's debut had been a turning point, a launch pad propelling us into a whole new stratosphere of fame.

As I stepped back out onto the street, the morning sun warm on my face, I took a deep breath. This was the life I had dreamed of, the future I had fought tooth and nail for.

I was ready. Ready for the screaming fans, the flashing cameras, the thrill of the stage.

Pushing open the door to our usual practice room, I was greeted by a scene of joyful chaos. Satoru was in the middle of the room, trying to pull off the moonwalk , his face split in a grin so wide it looked almost painful.

Kenji was watching with a wry smile, his arms crossed over his chest. "I'm pretty sure that's not how it goes, Satoru."

Satoru waved him off, too caught up in his own excitement to care. "Details, details! The important thing is, we crushed it last night!"

Hiroki laughed, the sound warm and bubbly. "I don't think I've ever heard a crowd so loud. My ears are still ringing!"

Daisuke looked up from where he was scribbling furiously in his notebook, his eyes shining.

I stepped fully into the room, my own grin stretching my cheeks. "We're officially on the map now, boys. X-Factor is a household name."

The words had barely left my mouth when the door swung open again, revealing Yumi and Takeshi. They looked like cats who'd caught the cream, their satisfaction practically palpable.

"Good, you're all here," Takeshi said, clapping his hands together. "We have some exciting news."

Yumi nodded, her usually stern face softened by a smile. "Last night was a triumph. The debut showcase exceeded all expectations. Social media is blowing up, your first single is climbing the charts... X-Factor has officially arrived."

The room erupted in cheers, the boys exchanging high-fives and back slaps. I felt a warmth bloom in my chest, a sense of accomplishment and gratitude so profound it nearly took my breath away.

But Takeshi held up a hand, quieting the celebration. "This is just the beginning. We need to capitalize on this momentum, strike while the iron is hot."

He paused, his eyes sweeping over each of us. "We already have the recording for the music video scheduled next week and more importantly.. It's time for X-Factor's first full album."

You could have heard a pin drop in the silence that followed. An album. A full-length, cohesive body of work that would define our sound, our image, our very identity as a group.

Yumi leaned forward, her elbows resting on the table. "We want this album to shake the industry to its core. Something that would make X-Factor inevitable."

Satoru leaned back in his chair, a mischievous glint in his eye. "You know what would really make waves? Something provocative, daring. Not the usual bubblegum pop. A sexy album."

The room fell silent, all eyes turning to Satoru. Kenji's eyebrows shot up. "Sexy?"

Satoru nodded, a grin spreading across his face. "Think about it. We're not just idols. We're artists. And artists push boundaries, challenge expectations."

Hiroki shifted in his seat, looking intrigued but uncertain. "It's a risk, though. Our fans know us for a certain style..."

Daisuke looked up from his notebook, a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. "But that's the point, isn't it? To show them a new side of X-Factor. To prove we're not just one-trick ponies."

I sat forward, my mind racing. Satoru's suggestion had sent a spark through the room, igniting a fire of possibility. "He's right," I said slowly. "We have a chance here to shake things up."

Yumi's eyes narrowed, calculating. "It's a gamble. But if we do it right, if we find the balance between sexy and classy..."

Takeshi nodded, his fingers steepled under his chin. "It could be a game-changer. A way to cement X-Factor's place in the industry, not just as another idol group, but as trailblazers."

I could feel the energy in the room shifting, the initial shock giving way to a buzzing excitement. This was our chance to break the mold, to push past the safe and predictable.

Kenji leaned forward, his eyes intense. "If we're going to do this, we need to commit fully. No half-measures."

Hiroki nodded, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Sexy, but with substance. Songs that make people feel something, not just dance."

Daisuke was already scribbling furiously, ideas pouring onto the page. "I can see it now. Lyrics that hint at desire, at passion, but with a layer of depth."

I felt a thrill run through me, the pieces clicking into place. "This is it, guys. Our statement piece. An album that will have everyone talking."

Satoru clapped his hands, looking like a kid on Christmas morning. "X-Factor 2.0, baby! Sexy, sophisticated, and unstoppable."

Yumi's smile was sharp, her eyes glinting with anticipation. "We'll need to be strategic about this. Tease the concept, build the hype. Make them desperate for a taste before we give them the full meal."

Takeshi stood, his presence commanding the room. "I have full faith in you boys. You've proven you have what it takes to make a hit. Now, it's time to show the world a new side of X-Factor."

This was uncharted territory, a bold new direction that could either catapult us to new heights or backfire spectacularly.

But looking around at my members, at the determination and hunger in their eyes, I knew we were ready. Ready to take the leap, to push ourselves to the limit.

X-Factor's first album wasn't just going to be sexy. It was going to be revolutionary.

A gauntlet thrown down, a challenge to the status quo.

We were going to make the world sit up and take notice. We were going to make them crave us, body and soul.

And we were going to love every minute of it.

I did not forget about the Steve Lacy song if you are wondering. That is something that is planned to be released after the music video is made
