Title: Romantic Return
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Vocaloids in this story, they are way to epicc.
Luka lifted the lid and stirred the contents, waiting for the pasta to reach the perfect consistency. Lightning flashed outside and as the thunder shook the windows the kitchen lights flickered. She took a quick peek in the oven to assure herself that the fish was faring well, and then it was off to check on the dessert. she smiled at the bottle chilling in the refrigerator as she remembered countless hours spent in the kitchen preparing many romantic dinners for Miku. So much time and money spent scouring the market for the freshest ingredients, the perfect wine. Miku had loved it, she may have teased her, but Luka knew that it meant a lot to her that she would go to so much trouble to impress her. Those days were over now; in some ways Luka thinks the virus was a blessing. Although the split was hard they had been able to retain their friendship, and it had only strengthened over the passing months.
The sound of the service door opening in the laundry room pulled luka from her musings. "Dinner will be ready in 10." she called out, not bothering to yell. Transgenic hearing was sometimes handy. When she didn't get an answer she walked back toward the laundry room. The sight that greeted her made her want to laugh at and hug miku at the same time. The lady standing before her didn't so much look like a enhanced super singer as she did a drowned rat. Her hair was plastered down on her head, clothes were soaked thru from the freezing rain, and the combination of the two had her shivering in misery. It was the pitiful look in miku's eyes that kept her from laughing, and the self-preservation of her own clothing that kept her from hugging. Instead Luka stepped forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Why don't you go take a shower and put on something warm, dinner will hold a few minutes.
"Thanks love." miku said as she nodded at Luka's suggestion before lifting her head when Luka stepped back to avoid the water droplets that the motion had shaken loose from miku's hair. Luka watched the smirk slowly appear on miku's face. "Don't even thin…" he started, but it was too late. miku started shaking her head and body sending water flying before grabbing Luka in a tight bear hug. "You always take such good care of me." she stated, giving one last squeeze before letting go and heading for the shower and the soothing warm water that it promised.
An hour later they were sitting side by side on the living room rug watching an action movie that they had viewed a dozen times. The coffee table held the remains of dinner, Mac and Cheese, fish sticks, and a bottle of fresh milk. The food may have been simple but there was no doubt in luka's mind that this was the most romantic meal she'd ever experienced.
"Snakes..why does it have to be snakes." miku mumbled the lines as she watched the film, her head slowly tilting sideways until it was resting on luka's shoulder. 'Yeah' luka thought, tilting her head to rest against miku's. 'It just doesn't get any better than this.'
