Meito Sakine & Kaiko Shion

Summer Romance

Chapter 1

A/N: I've been meaning to make something like this for a long time. I got the inspiration to make it after seeing a very cute/funny picture of Meito and Kaiko. I would link it if I remembered where it was. Anyway, here's something new, a two-shot. Kaiko has two different outfits that she is averagely drawn in, but the one I prefer is the one that doesn't look like a female version of Kaito's outfit.

There are a lot of Vocaloids, both genderbends and fan made. I'm excluding the English Vocaloids (including Sonika), Gachapoid, VYs, the fan mades (like Haku or Neru), and Kaito's thousands of siblings (except for Kaiko, of course). I know the idea of so many people living in the same house is insane, but humor me. Enjoy! ^^

The summer days had finally come. Being famous singers, the Vocaloids had many expensive perks, and a three beach houses that could fit them all was included in the mix. Each year all of them would pack and prepare themselves for two weeks of excitement. This year was no exception. A noisy commotion could be heard in the large house as all of them dashed back and forth up the halls, arguing in some instances, and rushing in others. This was the stressful part of the whole ordeal. They couldn't help but get very stressed out. There was just so many of them.

"Alright, everyone!" Meiko shouted loudly, catching everyone's attention and pulling them in to hear what she was saying. Some sneered as they approached her. Not everyone liked the older Vocaloid, but they had to live with the fact that she was the "leader" of the house.

"Now we need to discuss who's riding with who, and which house everyone is staying at!" she yelled out once again. It was necessary to be loud, that way everyone heard. Like stated before, there was just so many of them. Kaito pushed his way gently through the large crowd, feeling slightly claustrophobic. When he made his way up to where Meiko was, he continued where she left off.

"Now the Crypton Vocaloids, along with Gumi and Gakupo, are all going in the first van, and we'll be staying in the first house on the far east side of the beach," Kaito stated, motioning towards them, "Kiyoteru, Yuki, Lily, Iroha, Miki, and Piko will be in the second van, and they will stay in the second house closer to the center of the beach. Finally, Luki, Mikuo, Meito, and Kaiko will go in the third van, staying in the third house on the far west side of the beach." The referred to bluenette couldn't help but blush when she heard who she was staying with. She had had a crush on Meito ever since she met him, that crush now turning into unrequited love, but she was always too afraid to speak to him. She figured this would be her chance at getting his attention.

Kaiko's experience in the Vocaloid house had been an enjoyable one, but she never spoke up much. She usually only socialized with the other "genderbends", as they were referred as, and her older brother, Kaito. This didn't bother her, though. With all the drama the main Vocaloids were involved in, Kaiko would rather not deal with the stress. She could barely handle this "traveling session" as it is.

"Alright! Let's haul ass!" Meiko shouted out happily as she picked up her red suitcase. Kaito gave her a scolding look for cursing in front of the younger Vocaloids, but they were used to it anyway. Everyone filed out at once, causing more conflicts. Lily pompously butted her way into everyone's personal space, aggravating Miki very much. Yuki held onto Kiyoteru's hand, lest she got drug out into the mass and trampled – she always considered him more like a big brother than a teacher. Rin and Len pushed their way past everyone, holding hands and clotheslining many of the others in the back. Luka walked out slowly, following behind Miku who was mindlessly munching on a leek. Everything was so busy and hectic that Kaiko didn't notice Kaito approach from behind her.

"Ne, Kaiko-chan?" he called out, placing his hand on her shoulder, "If you don't want to stay in that house with all those boys, I can take your place if you want?" Kaiko turned around almost too quickly, but she stopped herself from shouting out "no!" at least. She didn't want to miss the chance to be with Meito, but she did appreciate that her brother was caring about her.

"Don't worry, Nii-san. They're my friends, so I'll be alright," she replied sweetly, smiling politely at him. He nodded in response but quickly dashed away when he heard Meiko calling for him. He let out a small wave before running out the door. Kaiko kept a good distance in the back of the line, along with the other genderbends. She noticed Meito chatting with Mikuo. She knew she would find it difficult not to stare during the entire car ride there, but she'd have to manage.

By the time everyone was out, the first van was started. Meiko sat confidently in the driver's seat. Kaito was clinging to his seat belt, knowing what a reckless driver the brunette was. Rin and Len were sitting by each other playing with their blue Nintendo DSis, making funny faces at the cameras. Miku was texting someone from her phone, still eating her leek. Luka was reading a book, trying to ignore Gakupo who was attempting to flirt with her. Gumi was sitting on the other side of Gakupo, leaning over the seat in front of her to look at the Kagamines' video games.

"Kaiko, do you want to sit in the front?" Luki asked, twirling the keys around his index finger. Thinking this would help her from staring at her unrequited love, she hastily accepted. Mikuo quickly took his seat in the very back of the van. He was prepared to annoy Luki, and, since he was out of reach, he assumed the pink haired male could do nothing about. Meito sat down on one of the middle seats, prepared to smack Mikuo when he attempted his plan – by Luki's request, of course.

The first van was already gone, and the second was pulling out of the driveway. After a long argument over who would drive, Lily was sitting in the driver's seat while Miki sat in the chair beside her. They were both arguing over the radio station now, as expected. Kiyoteru sat beside Yuki, explaining something from a book. Iroha looked lazily out the window – daydreaming most likely. Piko was stretched out in the back, listening to his iPod.

Kaiko clicked her seatbelt, waiting for Luki to start the car. By the time they were finally driving, the first van was long gone, and the second one wasn't that far ahead of them. The trip was relatively silent, that is until Mikuo started running his mouth when they reached the freeway. Kaiko didn't say much, but the other males certainly did. Every billboard Mikuo saw was read deafeningly loud.

"McDonalds! Next right!" Mikuo cackled noisily. Luki gritted his teeth, having about enough of his antics. He looked back towards Meito, signaling for him to do his job. Meito, also getting annoyed, gladly complied. The brunette turned around and began to restrain Mikuo, who started squirming and laughing maniacally.

"Shut up, you annoying pest!" Meito yelled at him. Mikuo batted his hands back childishly, reading the billboards he saw from the corner of eye even louder. Meito finally managed to get his hand over the other male's mouth, only to have to bitten painfully.

"Ow! Damn it!" Meito winced, trying not to say anything worse in front of Kaiko. Mikuo snickered again, starting up his previous tricks. It was a miracle Luki kept from threatening to "kick Mikuo's ass himself", though that's what he really wanted to do.

After the hour long drive, they finally made it there. The van pulled up to the impressive beach house and all the passengers gasped in amazement. This was the first time they were invited to go to the beach house, considering they weren't technically Vocaloids. Kaito – and Meiko, surprisingly enough – pleaded their case, though, so they were permitted to go. They were very thankful for that, especially now that they saw it.

Mikuo wasted no effort darting out of the car to the front door, but his efforts were fruitless when he realized the door was locked and Luki had the keys. Kaiko got out calmly and admired the seascape. Not only did she think it was beautiful, but also romantic. That would help her with her goal. She blushed at the thought of Meito accepting her love request beside the lovely ocean. Distracted by her daydreams, she didn't notice the said brunette walking up to her.

"Hey, Kaiko, are ya' coming?" he asked, confused by what she was doing. Kaiko was jolted out of her fantasies, causing her to blush more. Meito found it odd that her face was so red, but he shook it off. She quickly complied and followed him inside. When they entered, Mikuo was already jumping on the large sofa like a little kid – at this point everyone was pretty sure Yuki was more mature than him. Luki was admiring the large kitchen with wide, shining eyes. Everything seemed amazing to Kaiko, so she couldn't decide what to admire first. Meito seemed to be suffering from the same issue, so he just decided to get his things and unpack in his room. The bluenette watched him as he walked out to the van.

"Hey, Kaiko, whatcha' staring at?" Mikuo questioned, noticing how she was watching something. Kaiko continued watching him 'til it dawned on her that she was being spoken to.

"Hm? Oh… um… n-nothing!" she stuttered, averting her gaze. Luckily Mikuo wasn't that smart, or he would've known exactly what she was staring at. The teal haired male went back to jumping on the couch. Meito had returned with his suitcase that looked similar to Meiko's only a darker red. Kaiko noticed he had another one as well. It was hers.

"I figured I'd get yours, too, since it's the "proper" thing for a boy to do," he stated matter-of-factly, somehow implying the air quotes without his hands. She accepted her suitcase happily, thanking him with a small bow. He responded with a quick nod before heading up stairs. She felt her cheeks heat up again. Everything was going better than expected. She was sure that her plan would wor-

"OH MY GOD!" she heard Luki exclaim from the kitchen. Kaiko quickly ran over to see what happened. She was surprised to find nothing wrong. The pink haired male was standing there, eyes literally glistening in amazement. She gave him a confused look but soon noticed he was holding something.

"Look at the size of this tuna! IT'S HUGE!" he shouted excitedly, waving around the large, cold fish. Kaiko giggled at his childish manner. He was usually reserved and quiet, much like Luka, but he did tend to act this way at certain times. She carried her suitcase up the stairs and walked down the small hallway. There were seven different rooms, as expected, so she got to choose whichever she wanted. She ended up picking the medium sized room with dark blue walls. The bed was a simple white color, and it had an oak dresser and vanity. She placed her suitcase on the bed and let out a loud sigh.

After unpacking, she decided to exit and see if the others had chosen there rooms. Across from her room she could see Luki had chosen that one. His room had light brown colored walls. The bed had black sheets, and the dresser was made of dark colored wood. There was also a brown recliner in the corner of the room. His suitcase was lying on his bed open, but his clothes were still in it. He was currently sitting in the chair reading a book.

"He's so much like his sister," she thought to herself, giggling out loud. She looked over at the room next to his and saw Mikuo jumping on his bed. The room was painted teal with a darker teal bed spread. The furniture was the same as her own room's. She laughed at how Mikuo was in a different room but doing the same exact thing as before. His suitcase was bouncing all over his bed, finally falling off and popping open. He didn't seem to care though.

Kaiko couldn't help but wonder which room Meito chose. She walked out of her room, going to look for him, but suddenly the brunette walked out of the neighboring room and bumped into her. As she fell backwards, Meito was able to catch her before she hit the ground.

"Ehehe… Sorry about that. Are you alright, Kaiko?" he asked, still supporting her. Words wouldn't form in her mind, and only short mumblings came out of her mouth. She mentally scolded herself for blushing so much. Meito's serious, yet caring brown eyes looked back at her, apparently not noticing how flustered she was. She quickly lunged out of his arms, standing in front of him and smoothing out her dress.

"Y-Yes, I'm alright. Th-thank you," she replied almost inaudibly. He gave her a confused look, straightening up to face her.

"Um… ok, then," he stated plainly, continuing the way he was going. Kaiko still remained there, blushing furiously. Her heartbeat was finally starting to regulate, but her breathes were still ragged. Mikuo was too preoccupied with his playing to notice, but Luki definitely did.

"What was that, Kaiko?" he asked with, a knowing smirk on his face. She looked over at him. She wasn't sure how to respond.

"Wh-what are you talking about? I-I just bumped into him, that's all," she replied, trying to hide her face. Luki laughed at her awkwardness.

"You can stop the act. I already know that you like Meito," he stated bluntly, startling her. She started babbling mindlessly, spurring out so many excuses that they all meshed together incoherently. The bluenette finally gave up her attempts to hide it, sighing in defeat.

"How'd you know? Was it that obvious?" she asked. The pink haired male had to stifle his laughter just a bit – yes, it was very obvious. After regaining his composure, he replied.

"Just a little," he responded, pinching his fingers close together, "You shouldn't ashamed. Everyone has crushes." She was slightly relieved to know he only thought it was a crush, but she was also disappointed that he didn't know it was more. One would think she would accept help with her romantic advances, but she didn't want to bother anyone with her own problems.

"Ehehe… I guess I did make it a little obvious," she giggled weakly, "I-I'm gonna go swimming. See ya', Luki." She hurriedly retreated back to her room, which was just a few steps behind her, and locked the door. She let out a large sigh and walked over to her dresser. Since she had only unpacked a few minutes ago, she remembered where everything was, even in this new environment. The blue, one-piece swimsuit dangled off her index fingers by the straps. It was a very flattering swimsuit that was form fitting for someone of Kaiko's shape and size, but it was modest enough to be something she would actually wear. The entire thing was a bright, blue hue with a white frill going around the waist. It reminded her of her traditional outfit.

After she had slipped into it, she wrapped a blue towel that she had packed, around herself, hiding the semi-revealing outfit. Luki had gone back to reading his book and apparently hadn't noticed her exit her room. Mikuo was too distracted by what he was doing before; he didn't even know Kaiko was there at all. The bluenette didn't bother putting on any shoes, considering she would be standing in the sand. She stepped quickly down the stairs, heading towards the back exit.

Her small hand pulled the handle of the glass door, sliding it open just enough for her to squeeze through. Instantly it felt warmer when she passed through. She let out a relaxed breathe. The ocean wasn't that far away from the back deck of the house, so she spent the moment just watching the scenery. She had always dreamed of going here, but she and the other genderbends were always denied. It was more beautiful than she ever imagined.

"Kaiko-chan?" she heard someone call from around the corner of the house. She instantly identified who it was by the honorific used. Kaito. She turned to face him, bowing politely.

"Hello, Nii-san," she greeted. Kaito never understood why she was so formal when he was around, but he partially assumed it was a form of direct respect for her elder sibling. He had grown used to it, especially since no else ever treated him that way.

"Hi. I just wanted to check on you guys," he smiled kindly, "Everyone is going to eat at this sushi bar, so that we can do at least one thing together before we all went and did different things. It was Meiko's idea, so I'm sure there's an open bar or they serve sake, but she reassured me that the food would be good." That sounded like a great idea to Kaiko. Perhaps she could ask Meito if he could be her date… for fun. It was worth a shot. She was so lost in her thoughts, as always, that she didn't notice her brother's face turn from its usual smile to a look of concern.

"Kaiko-chan… Meito told me that you weren't feeling well. Is that true?" he questioned, now doubting the reliability of the source. She didn't understand what he meant until she remembered how much she was blushing before. Did he mistake that for a sickness? With how ignorant he was of her feelings, he most likely did.

"Err… it was just so warm that I started getting a little hot. That's why I'm out here – to cool down," she hesitantly lied. Luckily Kaito believed her and shook it off.

"Ah. That makes sense. You should probably tell him it was nothing though; he seemed pretty concerned," he responded, waving at her and leaving to inform the other two about the night's plans. She barely responded, the last thing he said repeating in her head a thousand times. The thought of Meito's be worried about little, old her just because her complexion was slightly redder made her happy. Very happy, in fact. Maybe the brunette was unaware of her feelings for him, but possibly he might have some of his own. She giggled mindlessly. To figure out, she would try anything.

After swimming in the water for a bit, she finally decided to go back inside. Mikuo was now passed out on the couch, the television switched to some random channel. He snored loudly, practically rattling the windows. Luki must've still been upstairs. She quietly tiptoed up the steps, trying not to wake Mikuo – though that probably wasn't possible with how loud he was. As predicted Luki was still in his room, reading the same book. He gave Kaiko a quick glance, acknowledging her presence. She nodded in return, smiling sweetly. As she turned to open her door, she noticed Meito's door was closed as well. It wasn't that way before she left, so the bluenette figured he was in there. Planning the excuse of how she only wanted to see what his room looked like, she began opening the red door. It creaked slightly, but she tried to stifle it by pushing it slower. The thought of entering Meito's room excited her, even though it technically wasn't his actual room. It was still the room he stayed in.

To her surprise, Meito was there, only he was asleep. He was stretched out on his bed, arms behind his head supporting his neck. He was just lying there, on top of the blanket, resting peacefully in the sunlight from the open window. Her eyes trailed slowly from his face downed to his toned stomach that showed visibly. His shirt was the same style as Meiko's, and Kaiko loved that fact. He never really worked out much, but since they were technically Vocaloids, they didn't have to. They somehow just kept the same figure all their lives. Kaiko loved this fact as well.

She kept a good distance, not wanting to wake him up. After watching him for around a minute or so, she finally decided to leave, not wanting to make Luki wonder. Moving as fast as she could, Kaiko exited Meito's room and entered her own, barely making a sound. She slipped the damp swimsuit off and walked into the bathroom attached to her room, just like the others. The sound of running water filled the room as she ran a bath for herself. When the water reached the proper temperature and filled the bathtub completely, she took her seat in the warm water. She didn't bother locking her main door, thinking that they would respect her privacy. Leaving the bathroom door also helped the room to not become too hot with the steam from the bath. This was a bad move.

"Hey, Kaiko, did you need something?" Meito asked, opening her door and calling for her. Seeing that the bathroom door was open, he figured it was safe to enter and see if she was there. Kaiko gasped loudly pulling the shower curtains in front of her and peeking from behind them. Meito froze quickly, before turning his back to her. A bright blush covered both of their faces.

"Ah, s-sorry, Kaiko. I just saw you leave my room as I was waking up, and I thought you wanted to ask me something. Err… sorry…" he explained, exiting the room quickly. Kaiko, still in shock from the encounter, could only stare embarrassingly at the spot where Meito was standing before. She wondered if he had seen anything, but she was halfway sure she covered up before he could. She sank lower in the bath, the water rising up to just below her nose. Her blush didn't seem to die down at all. The only thought running through her head at the moment was how awkward it would be to ask about the date now.

She finally got out of the bath when the water lost its warmth. She wrapped one of the white towels in the bathroom around herself and grabbed another one for her hair. The bluenette wasted no time getting dressed up, wanting to be covered up after that awkward moment. She changed into a blue baby tee and a pair of white shorts that ended right above her knee.

She peeked out in the hallway. Luki wasn't in his room. Mikuo had been moved to his bed. Kaiko didn't know where Meito was, but she assumed he was back in his room. She checked, this time knocking on the door first. When she received no response she opened the door partially. Surprisingly, the brunette was there.

"Meito?" she called, catching his attention. He looked back at her reluctantly, his eyes not making direct eye contact with hers for more than a millisecond at a time.

"What?" he replied, rather rudely, though it was probably because of how aggravated at himself he was. She winced back at his harsh tone, but she proceeded to enter the room anyway. Her heartbeat began to accelerate, and her cheeks flushed again. She was about asking him about the date, especially after the past occurrence.

"Um... I-I just wanted to… um… say th-that I'm not upset about what happened… Accidents happen," she replied, giving him a kind smile, "I should've closed the door. It really was my fault." Kaiko knew in her mind it really was all her fault, but Meito didn't like the fact that she was putting herself down like that.

"Don't take all the blame. It was my fault, too," he quickly responded, noticing how her smile looked sadder than what she usually gave. Kaiko quickly shook it off. If it would continue like this, she would never get to the point.

"A-ah, Meito, you know about the sushi thing t-tonight, right?" Meito nodded, giving her a confused look because of the sudden subject change, "W-well, I was thinking we could sit together or something. Like a fake date… or s-something like that." Her words trailed off around the end, but she was certain she got her message through. Meito still had the puzzled expression on his face, but he was thinking over the proposition. It didn't seem like that bad of an idea to him.

"Eh, why not," he answered, finally looking at her without looking away nervously. He assumed he was forgiven and that this date was her way of apologizing. He did like Kaiko; she was a nice girl. A fake date wouldn't be the end of the world for him. All the pressure on the bluenette's shoulders disappeared at the positive response. She literally jumped into a bow, the top of her head fully showing.

"Th-thank you… I mean, okay! I'll… um, be going now," she stuttered, dashing out of the room excitedly. She entered her room, closed the door, and lunged onto her bed, gripping one of the pillows in her shaking hands. She held it up to her face and let out a deafening, high-pitched squeal into it. Her plan for summer romance might just work out after all!

A/N: So many different Vocaloids. The beginning part was a pain to write. After I actually got to working with one certain smaller group of people, it was easier. It feels nice getting back to writing humor again. The next chapter will have a lemon. ;D
