This is (kinda) inspired by the Vocaloid Song Secret Crush by Rin Kagamine

I don't own the song, or Vocaloid or VY1 or VY2 (someday.. I hope...)

SOMEWHERE IN THE FALLING RAIN

Chapter1

*Knock-Knock*

Mizki opened her eyes and sat on her bed, her eyes moving towards the clock which hanged on her one room apartment wall. It was already 7:30 in the morning and school starts on 8:00.

*KNOCK-KNOCK* the knocking became louder.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Mizki shouted, standing up. She quickly made her bed, pushing it to the wall to make a couch. She then grabbed a towel and went inside the shower room.

Fifteen minutes later, she was dressed in her school uniform, a short sleeve polo and black pleated skirt. Taking a slightly burnt toast in her mouth, she then checked herself in the mirror. The knocking, which still continued till now, died away. She opened the door.

Standing in front of her was her neighbor Yuma, slinging his bag on one shoulder and chewing gum.

"Zup?" Yuma said, blowing a bubble then popping it.

Mizki turned her back and locked the door behind her. She swallowed the remainder of her toast and faced Yuma.

"Let's go"

In the classroom, Mizki took her seat behind Yuma, both which are near the window. The teacher was already reciting the roll call.

Yuma leaned back his chair and asked Mizki without looking "So, you have it?

Mizki rummaged through her back and took out two notebooks. She handed one to him. "Here are today's assignments. I changed the answers on numbers fifteen and twenty so the teacher wouldn't notice."

"Thanks" Yuma replied, returning to his original position.

After the roll call, the first period began.

*Ring-Ring* the school bell rang. It was already lunch time.

Mizki was clearing her desk as her classmates left for the lunch room. In front of her, Yuma's face was on the desk, some moaning sounds were coming out of his mouth. Mizki stood up and moved beside him. She then poked his cheek.

"Hmmmmm?" was the reply

"What's the matter?

Yuma sat up and looked at her "I couldn't copy the last paragraph, teacher was writing so fast."

Mizki patted his back "Don't worry. I'll let you copy mine later" and she went back to her seat.

Yuma gave a huge sigh and turned his chair around, facing Mizki. He then rummaged into his bag and took out two bento boxes. He then handed a fork and spoon.

Mizki opened her box and looked at the contents. It was filled with rice with the sausages were arranged so appropriately, she stifled her laugh.

"You did this?" Mizki asked. Yuma just nodded, his hands still rummaging his bag.

Mizki was about to eat her first bite when Yuma took out two squashed brown stuff covered in plastic from his bag. It was brownies.

"What's that for? Mizki asked.

"Dessert" Yuma replied. "That's for the assignment"

Mizki glared at him. "You didn't have to. You woke me up a while ago, remember?"

"Your parents did say you where a late sleeper..." Yuma said, taking a big bite from his box.

"And your parents said you couldn't do homework even if your life depended on it" Mizki said, cutting off his last sentence. "You really didn't have to..."

"... and a bad cook" Yuma continued, closing his eyes, preparing for mayhem.

Mizki's color was suddenly rising, her veins suddenly popped from her head. But she remained calm and swallowed her words.

"Let's just eat, shall we?" She said smiling through gritted teeth.

Yuma, relieved, answered "Ok". He was smiling too, eating another bite from his lunch.

And after that, lunch ended.

The dark clouds loomed from the sky, sending small bits of rain to the school grounds. It was already dismissal time when the rain grew worse.

Yuma was standing on the top steps of their school campus, facing the football field. His eyes were looking at the students going home through the heavy rain. He slung his bag on his shoulder, took out his MP3 player and listened to some music.

Half an hour later, Mizki appeared from behind him, carrying a large bag full of paraphernalia. "Sorry I was late; the Student Council meeting took forever." She stared at Yuma, who was still busy listening at his MP3. She removed one of his earphones to get his attention.

Yuma eyes moved at her, his face still facing the school grounds. "I was still listening, you know"

"No soccer practice?"

"It rained" was his reply. Yuma took the big bag Mizki was carrying. "What's all this?

Mizki rummaged through her own bag and took out a pink fording umbrella with sakura patterns on it. She opened her umbrella and covered both Yuma and her "It's for the student council tomorrow."

They started walking to their apartment complex, which was just a few blocks away, together. After a while, Mizki spoke.

"Is it heavy?" She asked, looking at Yuma.

"No, it's actually light" Yuma said. After a few seconds of silence "Did you receive a letter from your parents yet?"

"No, not yet, but I'm still waiting" she replied "What about you?"

"Yup, just came this morning"

"Did it say something about my parents?" Mizki asked anxiously.

Yuma shook his head "No, just the usual stuff"

"Oh..." was Mizki's reply. It became quiet again.

It was a quiet walk until they reached their apartment complex. The rain never ceased even a little and both Mizki and Yuma were wet from the howling wind. Both of them stopped in front of Mizki's place.

"Oh yeah... I forgot" She rummaged through her bag again and took out a notebook "Here's today's lecture, the subjects are organized by sticky notes."

Yuma laid the huge bag down and took the notebook. "What do you want for lunch tomorrow?"

"Meatloaf sound good." Mizki replied, opening the lock of her door "Wake me up same time tomorrow, OK?"

"Will do" Yuma said, preparing to leave. After just a few steps, he stopped and glanced behind his shoulder, looking at Mizki as she opened her door. "Oh yeah, wanna hang out on Saturday?

"Yeah, sure" Mizki said "See you tomorrow"

"See you"

Mizki entered her room, dropping everything she carried on her sofa bed. She then took a towel and rubbed her hair and face. She sat on her sofa bed and looked at the door.

There was a letter stuck on its letter box. She stood up and took it. Her hands shaking from the cold, she opened her long awaited letter.

Something she wished she didn't do.

Author's note: This is my first fic here so please no flames ^^. I'm surprised that no one has ever paired these two up; they're the most versatile vocaloid pairing ever! What they look like would depend on the reader, since I'm bad at describing (hence using them here in the first place). I'm trying to conceptualize the term 'Casual friends becoming lovers' in this fic, that's why it's completely flat for now. Next chapter comes the romance part.

Please Review.. since I'm new, I'd appreciate comments and suggestions.. :)
