So this story has been up for over a year now, and I'm ready to admit that I'm sorry, it IS on a permanent hiatus. I feel really sorry, and disappointed at myself. I had it planned out so well, then it all fell to pieces. I will not be continuing it, but if somebody would like to pick it up, I am willing to let it be someone else's now. If you would like to pick up this story and have it as your own, please message me.

So now that that's out of the way, you can continue on to what I wrote over a year ago *sad smile* Have fun :)

A/N So this is going to be a little story about life inside the vocaloid house. Nothing too romantic quite yet, but maybe some suggestions for some. ;)

Len's pov

Once Rin finally got the door open, the vocaloids fell into the house. After possibly the longest concert ever, it was nice to know that I would be able to sleep in my own bed. That is if Kaito would get up off me. I did mean it when I said we fell into the house. That was probably due to a somewhat impatient Miku who probably pushed everyone out of her way.

"Kaito, get off, you're too heavy to be laying on me like a dead weight!"I attempted to push him off, but I might as well have been pushing against a cement wall for all it was worth.

"Sorry Len, I'm trying, but my scarf got caught on the door frame. Wait a sec... there." Kaito rolled off to my right.

We stood up within seconds of each other. I turned to the left to see Miku hurrying around the corner to check on Meiko, Gackupo, and especially Luka, who had been know to.. goof off sometimes.

I bent down to help Rin, who was dragging herself upright.

Then we heard Miku shout something. Probably at Luka.

We trudged around the partition towards the huge lounge/living room. There, my suspicions were confirmed. Luka was laying on the bar, surrounded by remnants of food, alcohol, and what I think may once have been a candle, but was now frozen dripping down the wall. And there was Miku, standing in front of the counter, looking stunned as I'll get out.

Since I didn't really want to be in the room with Miku and Luka if they were gonna go at it, I headed back around the corner to go to the kitchen. I would be able to see it all anyway through the window.

Rin's pov

Almost as soon as we got into the lounge, Len headed back the way we'd came to the kitchen; I could see him through the window, however, there was a very drunk Luka, who was now sitting up, in my line of sight.

"Huh..?" said the hammered teen.

"I asked what the hell happened to the house?!"

"Oh you know, rode unicorns up and down the walls. What does it look like?!" Luka flung her arms out, gesturing to the room as a whole. That however, caused her to lose her balance, and she tipped forward until she slid off the edge of the counter, surprisingly landing on her feet instead of her face.

Miku's face was pink in outrage. I looked around the room and took it all in. It wasn't as if it was total destruction, but Luka had pretty much trashed the place. Food and miscellaneous objects littered the hardwood and carpets. I peered down into the recessed living room to see if Meiko and Gackupo were down there. I was pretty sure I saw Gakupo's long hair draped over one of the couch arms. He was probably either waiting out the storm or asleep. I didn't see Meiko anywhere.

My attention was yanked back to Miku and Luka when Miku stated shouting again.

"See, you can barely even stand!" That, certainly, was true, seeing as how Luka was slumped against the barstools. "God, would you at least go to bed so we can clean up while you sleep it off? I don't want you under my feet. And where are Meiko and Gakupo?"

Luka's eyes narrowed. "You can't tell me what to do, miss bossy"

Miku took a step forward. "However, I'm tired, you're drunk, and I don't want to deal with you right now!"

"Well too bad, maybe I want to deal with you! A long throw off a short windowsill up off the third for would just about do it, don't cha think?"

"Oh so we're at death threats now, are we?!" Miku reached out and grasped the back of Luka's shirt and started dragging her towards the stairs.

But we all knew that wasn't gonna fly. We all... waaaaaait a second... where did Kaito go...?
"Are they at it again?"

I jump and whip around. "Holy jeezus, why would ya do that? Sneaking up on someone and scaring em while a fight's going on? What's that all for?!" I muttered to Kaito, who had snuck around the corner and come up behind me.

"Shh, just let em deck it out. Meiko's probably asleep up in her room, you might want to go wake up Gakupo, though I'm surprised he's slept through it so far. I'll help Miku get Luka up to bed."

Kaito went over to the now cat-fighting girls and picked Luka up off of Miku. Luka started thrashing harder, but Kaito wasn't about to let her go.

Knowing that that situation was somewhat under control, I started heading towards the living room. The living room was recessed, about four feet lower than the lounge, with shallow enough steps leading down to its floor. There was a giant tv on the opposite wall, some bean bags on the floor in front of it, and behind those there was a monstrous couch. At the moment, none of the lights were on, so all I had to see by was some light coming down from the lounge.

I came up to the couch and sure enough, there's Gakupo, zonked out. Huh, so he really had been sleeping this whole time. I walked around the couch and crouched down near his head. Okay, Gakupo was pretty hot to begin with, but asleep he just looked even hotter. He was super popular with anyone who knew him, except the random guy here or there that didn't like it when his girlfriend fawned over Gakupo.

I leaned over and shook his shoulder. "Gaku, wake up." He barely moved. As well as being handsome, he was pretty strong as well. Not a good thing if you try to make him move. It's just never gonna happen. I gave him a shove. "Gaku, get UP!"

"Uhhhhhh..." Gakupo rolled over and pulled a hand down his face. He blinked up at me. "Oh. You guys are back..." his eyes get wide and drift towards the bar "... Oh shit."

"Yeah, we already know she's drunk and trashed the place. Miku and Kaito are dragging her up to bed. They'll probably crash in their own rooms after. " He reaches out a hand and I grab it to help pill him up as I continue. "I think Len is in the kitchen cleaning up. Jeez, you should've seen the concert! It was packed. We were there for HOURS. I mean, we were there before the show to get ready, during it of course, and then afterwards we had to greet fans and sign about a gazillion posters of ourselves. And then this one girl just would not stop talking to us. She completely went on and on about how she's always wanted to go to one of our concerts and how she-!"
Gakupo struck out and clamped a hand down over my mouth. His hand was warm and smelled almost spicy. I glared at him over his wrist.

"Sometimes you talk to much about things that don't matter." He stated as he removed his hand and swung his arm around my shoulders. God, he was so much taller than me. Sometimes genetics were just unfair. But maybe he liked it that he was so much taller than most people. Oh well, whatever works for him is fine.

"So was the concert fun?"

That surprised me. I thought he didn't want to hear about the concert. "... it was fun I guess..." I knew that confusion was written all over my face. He chuckled and started walking us up out of the living room.

"Well that's good, I guess," he mocks me as we walk out into the foyer, completely void of everyone. Gakupo flicks a glance towards the closed window. Some mild curses could be heard from behind the shutters. "So I guess he is cleaning. C'mon!" He quickly leads us back down into the living room and around the corner to the stairs. We climbed up the flight, which was open up all the way to some skylights in the ceiling. walls were on every side, except for the landing at the top, and above that a railing through which I could see a wall on the third floor.

We got to the top of the stairs and entered the second floor. The stairs on this house were weird. There was this stairway, which started down in the back living room corner and ended up in about the middle of the second level. Then you had to turn left and walk down the hall to get to the next stairway, which opened up into the lounge on the third floor.

As we asked down the hall, behind us down the hall past the stairs, we could hear Luka yelling. Something about a swing set, I think. Miku's and Luka's rooms were down at that end of the hall. We passed Meiko's and Kaito's doors and started up the next flight. Above us, to the right and behind us, there was railing, again opening up onto the third floor.

We came out in the lounge. The third floor lounge was much less of the coffee-table-couch-and-chairs variety, and more of the couch-bean-bags-and-giant-flat-screen-tv type. Gakupo's hand, which had to move to the back of my rib cage while we were walking up the stairs, guided me to the far side of the lounge where he spun and flung himself into the couch. I sat down next to him and dragged over an ottoman. I crossed my ankles while he hooked one heel on the edge and crossed the other leg over that one.

Why didn't I ask him why he brought us up here? Well, nobody ever really questioned Gakupo. And anyway, it wasn't like he ever did anything overtly bad. I also suspected that he didn't want to help Len clean up, which was fine by me.

Gakupo let out a long sigh. "The top lounge always seems more comfortable than the living room."

"Possibly because it's on our floor and nobody else comes up here but us and Len."

"Yeah, it could be that," he allowed. He turned to me. "What?"

I realized I had been starting at him. "Oh, nothing, sorry." I said as I turned and snatched the remote off of the arm of the couch. I flicked on the tv. It was on a news station. Len must have been watching tv this morning. I picked one of our favorited channels at random, and on came some random anime. Probably a seasonal one. Blec.

Len came up the stairs at that moment. He looked tired. He just stopped for half a second to wave at us. "I'm going to bed," he stated as he stated waking again. We waved back, and soon enough we heard his door close.

Gakupo's pov

I got to the top of the stairs and headed for the couch. I wasn't about to start cleaning up Luka's mess, and I wanted to hang with Rin for a while. She was pleasant when she wasn't rambling on about things that didn't really mean anything. I let my hand drop from her back as I landed in the corner of the couch. Rin sat next to be and brought over an ottoman. I leaned back. So comfortable and nice.

"The top lounge always seems more comfortable than the living room." I thought out loud. They were similar, but there was just something that made them that much different.

"Possibly because it's on our floor and nobody else comes up here but us and Len." She reasons.

Huh. No, it wasn't that. "Yeah, it could be that," I said out loud. I tried to figure out what exactly it was. Rin was being quiet for once. I turned my head to look at her.

She was looking at me kinda hazily. "What?" I asked, wondering if she was okay.

Her face flushes lightly. Lovely pale rose color. "Oh, nothing, sorry." She apologizes as she leans over for the remote. She turns the tv on and changes the channel. An anime, seasonal most likely. Amnesia or something like that possibly.

I heard Len walking up the stairs- too light to be anyone else- and then he passed through the lounge on his way to his room. He stopped to say he was going to bed and waved. I lifted my hand and he walked off.

I turned back to Rin.

"So what did you do while Luka got drunk?" She asked suddenly.

Unexpected. "Oh you know, began a circus, climbed mount Everest, flew to Canada, the usual."

She gave me an amused smirk and a questioning look. "Well that must've taken a while, huh?"

I burst out laughing and ended up shifting so that my head was on her legs. "I sat around playing video games for the most part. It's kinda boring when one person is slamming back a bottle, and the other stays in her room, on the phone with her boyfriend." I concede.
Rin starts running her fingers though my hair, which had spilled across her lap.

"Did you even brush your hair today?" she asks while she smiles.

"... No, I don't think so."

"Jeez, do you get anything done when I'm not here?"

"Hardly. When it's boring, you end up not really wanting to do anything,"

She peered down at me. Then she pulled I bit on a small knot. Not really hard enough to hurt. "ow" I said and flinched.

"Whoops," she muttered as she went back to finger-combing my hair. Her eyes flitted back to mine and held there.

Deep seeming, light blue, clear black, feathery frames, glittery colors... My eyes started to close against my will, and I stopped seeing those things.

Rin's pov

Gakupo's laugh was deep and warm. He sorta falls forward into my lap, his dark purple hair splays out around his head. So long and soft, like a girl's. I smile at him. So contagious.

"I sat around playing video games for the most part. It's kinda boring when one person is slamming back a bottle, and the other stays in her room, on the phone with her boyfriend." He admits. I start running my hands through his hair, unable to stop myself.
So many tangles. Sometimes he can be so lazy. "Did you even brush your hair today?" I accuse him.

He looks sheepish. "...No, I don't think so." That might be why.

"Jeez, do you get anything done when I'm not here?" Sometimes he just needs someone to keep him on track.

"Hardly. When it's boring you end up not really wanting to do anything." He admits.

I look down at him. So absentminded sometimes. Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I just want to- my fingers catch in a tangle on accident.

He flinches "ow".

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I guess I too am a bit absentminded.

"Whoops..." I mutter as I turn away. Caught being clumsy. Damn. I glance back at him to see his face. He catches my gaze there and holds it. He looks sleepy, happy, calm... entranced?

His weight settles on my lap. His eyes start to flutter closed. They flash just before they close.

I sit there for a long time. Just calculating my chances while I slowly comb his hair away from his face. I heard the commotion downstairs die down. Miku must have gone to bed, but I couldn't hear that far. I did hear Kaito's door close. Everyone was asleep but us.

I took a bet on my chances.

I lean forward, hovering over the now sleeping Gakupo, not moving my legs so I wouldn't wake him. I bring my hand up and softly touch his forehead. Slowly I pull back. He's still asleep, but his eyes flicker behind their lids.

Gakupo's pov

Floating. In deep, clear blue. Sparkling like white morning light on water. Soft touches blur edges. There is a faint pressure on my forehead. A light, slow touch. Tentative. In my world of color, what is touch? I was being pulled back into reality.

Rin's pov

As I leaned forward a bit, Gakupo's eyes fluttered back open. That flash again. He looked confused for a short second, then his expression cleared.

Gakupo's pov

I had thought my eyes were opening. But I still saw that blue, that shimmer, the feathery edges. Was I still in my world of color? No, I was awake. Rin was just leaning forward. Ah. Such weird words my mind strings together when I'm not really awake. Then I realized I had fallen asleep on Rin's lap. Not good. Jeez, how boring could I get?!

Rin's pov

Gakupo blinked his eyes rapidly, seeming to join back with reality. He sat up kind of suddenly, almost ramming our heads together. He shifted and turned back around to me.

"I'm so sorry. I guess I was more tired than I thought I was. That was rude of me." He looked so embarrassed, just for falling asleep. How silly.

"It's fine, you're fine. I don't mind." I laugh. He thought I really cared negatively about it. Well I didn't, that's for sure.

Gakupo composed himself and settled me with a normal gaze. "Well at any rate, i think it's time we both went to bed. You look just about as tired as I feel. C'mon." He grabbed the remote, turned the tv off, then aimed it at the lamps and turned them off. Then for the second time that night, Gakupo pulled me to my feet and led the way.

This time however, we headed back to the stairs and kept going past them down the hall. We passed Len's door on the left, then the railing overlooking the first-to-second floor staircase. A soft glow lit up that stretch of the hallway, coming from the skylights above the stairs. We kept going and eventually came to my door.

Gakupo let go of my hand then, and bowed formally. "Good night mi'lady." He said in an English accent. I laughed again. He sounded so ridiculous! "Well as long as the lady finds humor in me, I shall continue to be in her service." That accent again!

"Well I dismiss you from my company." I teased back, trying my best to put on a snooty act. It didn't work. I dissolved in giggles.

"Well I'm off then." He said normally "I'll see you in the morning." He smiled and walked off to the end of the hall where his door was. He glanced back down the hallway before opening the door and going inside.

I did likewise.

A/N Well, the end was a bit corny, I won't lie about that. Yeah, I said I wasn't gonna do romance, but boo hoo. That was before I wrote it. This will have more chapters that will be posted when I get to writing them. I use next to no planning when writing things, so the tone of it might change. And expect characters to be generic until I figure out how their personality is going to be. Well then I'm-
