Delusional

A/N Mainly based off songs from Conti New, particularly Delusion Tax. Couples: Gakupo/Luka (seen as a bad couple), Miku/Luka (?), Rin/Len (complicated). This is a romance drama about cheating and may involve your favourite Vocaloid being a bad guy at some point.


I ~ Delusion Tax

"Are you satisfied with just that?"

Gakupo blinked at the teal-haired girl, "With what?"

The girl sipped at her tea before answering, "Luka, of course."

His girlfriend, Luka, was in the kitchen next door tidying up after the meal they'd just had. Eyeing her figure nonchalantly, he nodded, "Why wouldn't I be, Miku?"

Miku was an old friend of Luka's from High School and had been invited over to catch up with each other and perhaps gossip. She was known to be quite cunning, a habit she still hadn't grown out of. "Well, I admit I've been snooping," She threw a magazine onto the coffee table. "You could be a bit more discreet, you know."

He glared at her, whispering, "Seriously? Even if I said I wasn't satisfied, what does any of this have to do with you?" Leaning forward threateningly, he continued, "None of this is your business."

"Oh, actually, it is my business; all you have to do is pay a certain tax and then I'll see to it that your wish comes true."

Unimpressed by her gleeful tone, he shook his head, "What?"

"Luka was always quite naïve, but that also makes her a bit boring when it comes to that. So," She flipped to a certain page in the magazine. "I thought you might prefer a change of pace."

He bit the inside of his lip, "What do you really want?"

"Oh, I was just curious, is all." She flicked a card around her fingers before poking it into his pocket with an evil grin. "If you're curious, meet me this Friday."

She flopped back into her seat as Luka walked in. Her rosy locks danced in the air as she walked towards them, asking, "Is everything okay here?"

Gakupo had hid the magazine under the sofa so she hadn't seen anything. Miku gave her friend a genuine smile before standing up, stretching, as she yawned, "I think it's about time I got going. Thanks for the meal, Luka, it was delicious as always." She picked up her bag and gave her a hug. "Have you ever thought of starting your own cooking show?"

She giggled, "No, Miku, I'd probably set the whole place on fire: you know how clumsy I am!"

"You just would, wouldn't you?" She walked over to the door, turning to Gakupo at the last moment. "Oh, and don't you forget to pay the taxes on Friday."

As the door shut, Luka gave her partner a funny look, "Taxes?"

He stood, pecking her cheek, "Just a joke from our conversation, nothing to worry about."

She smiled, mumbling, "Okay," before walking off.

Once she was out of sight, Gakupo fished the card from his pocket hurriedly. In Miku's fancy scribbles, it read: 9:30pm, Soap Lagoon – let's pay the delusion tax.


A/N If you know the song Soap Lagoon, you can probably guess what's going to happen next…

Well, most chapters are going to be quite short, but when I try writing really long stuff I end up forgetting about it halfway through and doing something else… So, I'm going to try writing something that I can actually stay committed to! Also, this story is kind of made of all the Vocaloid stuff that I like: DECO*27 songs, Miku being evil, Rin & Len as a couple… Hopefully, this will actually get finished!

(I'll try to remember Tales of IA too… sorry…)
