These are cute little one-shots for Akari with every guy in Animal parade. Every one-shot will have a vocaloid plot in them, because they are based on the songs. Listen to the songs with English translation to better understand the story's main plot. All songs are in Japanese too.

Summary: Akari is too nervous to tell her feelings to Gill, and stutters every time she tries! After many fails, she finally says it, but breaks down in embarrassment.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. All harvest moon characters are of sole property to Natsume, and vocaloids songs to their proper owners.

Here is the pairing and song for this chapter:

Chapter 1: Gill x Akari- song: I like you I love you (in English translation)

"H-h-hey G-Gill, can you wait for a minute? If you're busy, sorry to bother you…" Akari spoke on a nervous voice. Gill placed his pen down and looked up at her. "I-i-i-if for j-just a m-moment I'd like to talk to you…" Akari muttered in another soft and nervous voice.

"Ah. W-what to do… then how about we play a game? A word game… Daqui-'ri'… 'ri'n sorry… I'm not very good at this…" Akari's head bobbed down in disappointment.

"Umm… Are you hungry?" Akari asked eagerly.

"I'm fine. What about you?" Gill answered.

Akari felt disappointed from that answer. "Ah. Umm… water is fine with me."

After Gill turned away to get some water, Akari looked at the idiot who doesn't understand her feelings when she was dropping hints for him all day. Akari tried to stimulate distance, she tried to think what she's going to say over and over, but her throat became dry. Gill came back with water, and Akari accepted it with a flushed face. Akari opened the bottle of water and took large gulps of it, and gave out a sigh when she stopped for air. Akari thought over in her head on how to do this.

'I'm being honest, you see…' Akari opened her mouth to say those words, but stopped, this was no good, and it was as scary as ever. Akari wants to convey her feelings, and she wants Gill to understand. Akari left the Town Hall and ran home.

'Why is this so hard?' Akari thought and started to tear up from this frustration.

The next day, Akari left to his house to try again.

"H-h-hey G-Gill! Can you wait for a minute? If you're busy, sorry then…" Akari again stuttered her words. Gill again looked up from his "book" and signaled for her to go on.

"I-if for j-just a moment I'd like to talk to you. Umm… how about we play "R-rock, paper, scissors"?" Akari nervously asked. "R-rock, paper, scissors, and iced coffee, I think… sorry, you must be bored of me, huh?" Akari again bobbed her head in disappointment at her rather dumb mistake of such an easy game.

"Are you hungry? Ah. Me? Water's fine… Hey, it seems sudden, but it's a kind of a weird feeling, sorry. Maybe it's surprising, but I wanted to hear, umm…" Akari started to blabber on.

Gill already brought her the water, and once again, Akari took large gulps and sighed when she went for air. "What to do… I'm being honest you see… No good, it's as scary as ever!" Akari quietly debated and muttered to herself.

'I want to convey my feelings, but why is it so hard?' Akari thought. 'I'll just flat out say it then!' Akari decided.

"I'm being honest, you see… I-I, I, I, I… Hey, you are, umm… I, sorry, wait, you… I-I, um, hey… You're the one I li-… Hey honestly, I, umm. I, to you, umm, I… Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li… li, li, li, li, li… Lii… waah/sigh… sorry I forgot…" Akari kept stuttering, but came to her senses, and grabbed on to Gill's arm.

"Wait! I li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li…" Akari held Gill's arm tighter, her face reddening to a tomato shade.

"Li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li, li…" Akari started tearing up, thinking that she couldn't let it out.

"Li, li, li, li… Like! I love you!" Akari froze up in realizing in what she had just said. Tears came out of her eyes in complete embarrassment, her face starting to glow a darker shade of red, she buried her face into Gill's sleeve. Gill's face showed a look of surprise, but after bringing everything in, his face softened to an amused smile. Gill patted her head gently, and Akari raised her head up, her face still flushed. Gill came down and gave Akari a big hug.

"You have no idea how long I waited for that." Gill whispered into Akari's ear. Akari gained a smile of her own, and hugged back. After that, everything else went by very smoothly.
