Friends with Benefits

It was happening… again. For the fourth time this week, the Kagamines had walked into the building, fighting. Neru sighed, this was always the way. They'd walk in screaming bloody murder, often swear, and occasionally strike one another. If one of them was asked a question they'd turn to answer and the other would say something to start it up again.

"…How dare you! That would never…" Neru stopped watching the screeching blondes and turned back to the circle of whom she had been talking to. Ruko, Haku and herself had been discussing their hatred for the outrageously successful Hatsune Miku before the golden hurricane had interrupted them. Now they all stared in awe at the on-going battle between Len and his girlfriend Rin.

"I swear if I get a migraine from those two yelling all day again, I'm not going to get my beauty sleep and there for won't be rested enough to start on my new album! Selfish little brats!" Neru rolled her eyes. Why was Meiko always trying to be in their conversations? Everyone knew the brunette was a bitch that's why she had no friends…and who was she calling selfish?!

Haku muttered an incoherent string of curses turning back to the others. "Well, I've gotta go pick up some white nail polish. Anyone wanna come?" Ruko nodded turning her different colored eyes to Neru.

"You could use a good filing" Neru looked down at her nails and considered it. Haku was right her nailed were growing uneven at a rapid pace. But her parents would kill her if she missed out on any more school work. If that happened they'd probably stop paying her phone bill, which meant if she wanted to use her phone she'd have to pay it! She'd never have that much.

"Uh, you guys go ahead, I have to do some homework. And I still have Miku's stupid CD cover to design. I might catch up later if I finish early."

Neru noticed Rin looking at her, her big blue eyes sparkling. Neru blushed, she hoped Rin didn't notice. The younger girl turned back to Len. Neru noticed the girl's hair sway and rest back at her shoulders. Neru blinked, what had just happened? She forced the thought away and headed back to office her thoughts still on the other girl.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Neru put her pen down for the first time in hours. She stretched her arms above her head, back curling, fingers knotted. She had finally finished everything. She checked the clock on the wall, just a little after midnight not bad! Neru felt bad about not being able to join Haku and Ruko. Whatever, they could talk tomorrow.

She looked back at her nails, the color was chipped. Neru dug around in her bag for her gold polish, realizing she must left it at her house.

"Shit." She sat back in her chair and rubbed her temples. There was a loud slamming sound from down the hall and she caught Len slap her once before slamming the door in her face. Rin rubbed her cheek, kicking the door in frustration.

Neru walked over to her. "Everything alright?" Rin looked up at her.

"I just wish he wasn't always so mean! He can be such a jerk!" Neru stopped noticing how her innocent crystal eyes glowed when she was this upset. She shook the thought away; she was just acting up Cuz she looked like a child.

"Well if he's such a jerk all the time, why don't you dump him?" Rin sighed.

"Yah but I need him to sing. My voice sucks without his to back it up." Neru considered this.

"That probably isn't true. Hey, you come over to my house tomorrow and we'll see if your voice will work without his, okay?" Rin's eyes shined up at her.

"Really? You'll help me? That's great!" The younger girl smiled up at her.

"Okay I'll see you tomorrow!"

"Three good?"

"Perfect! Thank you!" Neru watched the small girl leave and crumpled to the floor. This had been entirely too long of a day
