Author`s note: Hey there! It`ll be my first time posting a story for Vocaloid and I decided to do my favourite pairing! :)
but before reading this story I will address some things that may pose questions later.
First, I`am sure some of you are confused as to why I entitled it as Rolling boy meets the teddy bear. Well first off I got this idea when I watched this video of youtube, it was Rolling Girl but it was Kaito who was singing. To be frank I prefer his voice more, it suited the song somehow at that time I also found a Len version of Tokyo Teddy bear. And so this story was created, as for the creators of the video...It was wonderful!
Second, yes this is shonen ai
Third, there might be suicidal scenes that may trigger any type of negative response but I`ll try to make them as vague as possible.
lastly, I`m not sure if I would be able to portray bullying correctly. To be honest the only bullying I ever received were taunts and the occasional hiding of my things. I was never directly harmed (only once when someone put a tack on my seat). But I heard that at times that some bullies are physically violent so yeah...if it seems that the bullying went a little too much...then I`m sorry.

Prologue
"I`m sorry Kai-chan!"
A young blunette stopped eating his ice-cream midway. His blue eyes stared at his friend`s green ones as she blurted apology after apology. She didn`t make any sense but the boy felt dread creep into his heart. The young tealette`s pigtails were bouncing as she kept bowing her head in apology, tears streaming down her pale face. The boy knew that cannot be good.
Early that morning his friend casually called him out to eat some ice cream at a nearby park. Seeing as ice cream was his favourite food he saw no reason to say no, but somehow the feeling of dread suddenly latched into his heart. His friend has been acting strange as well.
Ice cream long forgotten the boy spoke: "What`s wrong Miku-chan?" he asked.
The one called Miku sobbed, "I`m sorry Kaito! I promised to go to the same school but my manager managed to get me a world tour and I can`t refuse since it`s in my contract." She babbled as the tears kept streaming down her face.
The blunette, known as Kaito froze as he heard her words. His face went pale and his heart started to beat rapidly. He couldn` t believe her, he couldn`t bring himself to believe her. He felt so many emotions at once; anger, betrayal, grief, pain but most of all loneliness.
"You were my only friend Miku…" he said, "and you`re going to abandon me?" he added darkly.
Miku gasped "I`m sorry! I`m sorry! I`m sorry!" the girl kept apologizing, when Kaito kept his silence she began to sob, "Please say something! Don`t be mad at me! Please!" she begged, "Forgive me! I`m sorry!"
Kaito sat silently, he didn`t want to forgive her. In his heart he could still feel the betrayal and hurt eat him whole. He couldn`t believe this is reality. He can`t bring himself to forgive, he can`t bring himself to move. He was going to be alone, all alone. His friend was leaving him, abandoning him, to leave him alone. He wanted to be selfish, he wanted to be spoiled, he wanted her to stay.
And yet instead he said, "I forgive you Miku-chan, I know how important this is to your dream." He smiled at her tear streaked face, "I`ll be fine! I might even make a new friend!" he said reassuringly.
The other wiped her tears, "Are you sure?" she whispered.
"Hai! Hai!" he chirped, "besides I know we`ll still keep in touch, nee?"
The girl smiled, "Thank you Kaito…" she said, "I know this is selfish of me but thank you for accepting it."
She went to hug him, unaware of his inner turmoil. The young blunette let his best and only friend hug he softly. He could feel his own tears start to resurface but he refuse to let them fall. It was bad enough that his friend was feeling guilty, he didn`t want her to feel even worse. They were like that for a while, the tealette holding onto her blue haired friends while the other tried to push back his tears.
"When will you leave?" he asked her as she let him go.
"Tomorrow…" she mumbled, "that`s why I wanted to see you…" she said uncertainly.
There was an awkward silence.
"Ah! But here I have a farewell present!" she exclaimed, she rummaged through her hand bag and handed the blunette a beautiful blue ipod touch. "Tada~ my last record deal was a big success! And since I had a bit more I decided to get you this!" she said happily.
Kaito stared at the device warily, "It must have cost a lot Miku-chan, you shouldn`t have."
"Nonsense!" The girl scolded, "besides if you didn`t help with my song that time I`m sure it would have failed."
"I only played the piano Miku." Kaito muttered, "it wasn`t a big deal, and besides I promised to play for you as your graduation gift anyway."
"That`s the point!" Miku exclaimed, "That Ipod is both my farewell and graduation gift to you!" she said as she pointed at him, "and I also took the liberty of putting in all your favourite songs and some of my own."
Kaito stared at Miku and she nodded at his silent question. Tentatively Kaito opened the device and went straight to the Music library. Indeed all of his favourite songs were there and some of Miku`s top sings. He smiled when his eyes spotted a certain song.
"Rolling girl?" he muttered.
Miku just smiled, "well, you did play the piano part for that song." She smiled wider, "Go on! Try the thing out!"
Kaito didn`t need to be told twice, he pulled out his head phones from his bag and connected them to his new Ipod touch. As he was about to place the head phones over his ears he caught Miku staring at him with a fond smile. He smiled back as he heard the piano intro and the song went on.

RONRII GAARU wa itsu made mo todokanai yumemite
Sawagu atama no naka wo kakimawashite, kakimawashite.
The lonely girl is forever dreaming of something she can't reach and
Churning, churning the insides of her flustered mind.
"Mondai nai." to tsubuyaite, kotoba wa ushinawareta?
"There's no problem." she mutters; has she lost her words?
Mou shippai, mou shippai.
Machigai sagashi ni owareba, mata, mawaru no!
Another failure, another failure.
If it ends in search of the mistakes, once again, she'll spin!
Mou ikkai, mou ikkai.
"Watashi wa kyou mo korogarimasu." to,
Shoujo wa iu shoujo wa iu
Kotoba ni imi wo kanade nagara!
One more time, one more time.
"I'll roll today too."
The girl says, the girl says
While playing with the meanings in her words!
"Mou ii kai?"
"Mada desu yo, madamada saki wa mienai no de. Iki wo tomeru no, ima."
"Are you all right now?"
"Not just yet, because there's still a long ways to go and I can't see the end. Stop breathing, right now."
ROORINGAARU no nare no hate todokanai, mukou no iro
Kasanaru koe to koe wo mazeawasete, mazeawasete.
The rollingirl is but a mere shadow of who she once was, unable to reach the colour on the other side
The overlapping voices mixing, mixing with each other.
"Mondai nai." to tsubuyaita kotoba wa ushinawareta.
Dou nattatte ii n datte sa,
Machigai datte okoshichaou to sasou, sakamichi.
"There's no problem." the words she muttered were lost.
How can she possibly turn out fine when
The hilly roads entice her and cause her to make mistakes.
Mou ikkai, mou ikkai.
Watashi wo douka korogashite to
Shoujo wa iu shoujo wa iu
Mukuchi ni imi wo kasane nagara!
One more time, one more time.
Please let me roll
The girl says, the girl says
While silently repeating her meanings!
"Mou ii kai?"
"Mou sukoshi, mou sugu nanika mieru darou to. Iki wo tomeru no, ima."
"Are you all right now?"
"In just a little longer, we might be able to see something very soon. I'll stop breathing right now."
Mou ikkai, mou ikkai.
"Watashi wa kyou mo korogarimasu." to,
Shoujo wa iu shoujo wa iu
Kotoba ni emi wo kanade nagara!
One more time, one more time.
"I'll roll today too."
The girl says, the girl says
While playing on words with a smile!
"Mou ii kai? Mou ii yo. Sorosoro kimi mo tsukaretarou, ne."
Iki wo yameru no, ima.
"Are you all right now? It's okay. You gradually became tired of it too, right?"
We'll hold our breath, right now.
Kaito smiled when he noticed his best friend smiling at him. He knew that not everything will be alright and that might even get worst but he won`t tell her. No, he will move on his own. He`ll stand up and keep moving forward; to try and live his life as peaceful and as happy as possible. He will try his very best not to worry her, not to make her regret his decision.
And he`ll try to not to roll down a very stiff hill.
