Chapter 1

Bright blue eyes fluttered and closed, dark eyelashes brushing pale cheeks as a voice-soft and lilting-drifted through the air of the recording room.

"Itsu no hi mo kimi o omou yo... Dakishimeta kata no kanshoku~ Tokete kieta nakunaru mae ni... Kimi ni ai ni yuku yo..."

The shatter of glass followed his final, lingering note, and with a bright laugh, Len Kagamine pulled his headphones from over his ears. "How was that?" He offered, flashing a sly look to Kaito and Gakupo where they stood on the other side of the glass.

"Awesome, Len-kun!" Kaito returned his wide smile, and Len turned to Gakupo, who leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and lacing his fingers together, resting his chin on his hands. The samurai smirked.

"Nice job, Len-kun." He admitted, his violet eyes flashing. "Was that a hint of blush I saw? Were you thinking about me while you were singing that?"

Len's smile faltered, and ruffled, he shook his head. "N-No!" He objected, before crossing his arms and turning his head away. "I was just imagining the scenario in my head-like I'm supposed to."

"Ohh..." Gakupo's smirk grew darker, and for a heart-beat Len could have sworn his teeth were pointed. "So what you're saying is you were imagining wearing a dress and dancing across the stage with Kaito and myself, trying to forget the sinful affair we were involved in, but desperately longing to be in my embrace again."

Len flushed a dark crimson. "Absolutely not!"

Gakupo burst out laughing, and Kaito sighed. "Be nice, Gakupo." He chided half-heartedly, a smile still present on his face.

"Don't act like it's not funny," Gakupo raised an eyebrow at Kaito, before turning back to Len. "Come on out, Len-kun, we're done for the day. Or at least for lunch."

"Okay." The teen exited the recording room, joining the two older boys in the control room.

"After lunch we'll be working on the harmony parts." Kaito was telling Gakupo, the samurai nodding his consent.

"Sure, sounds good." He turned to smirk at Len. "Are you okay with that, Len-kun?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Len tossed back loftily, already heading for the door that would take him into the hallway. Gakupo chuckled.

"I suppose if you could pull off ShotadeSuyon then this will be nothing for you."

As if on command, the younger boy's face colored again, and choking gracefully on the breath he had been taking, the boy jerked the door open, taking his leave and leaving Gakupo laughing behind him. As he started down the hallway, he heard the door open and close behind him, and set a faster pace. When he reached the elevator, Len couldn't help but to jam the down button far too many times, knowing very well that the speed and power with which the button was pressed didn't make the elevator come up any faster.

"Aw, come on Len," Gakupo chuckled, suddenly, leaning back against the wall beside the younger boy. "I was just joking."

"Don't even try to apologize just because Kaito-nii told you to." Len deadpanned, giving the purple-haired man his best glare.

Gakupo laughed, putting his hands up and standing straight again as the elevator doors opened. "You got me." Len ignored him, entering the elevator and jamming the "door close" button in a futile attempt to keep Gakupo from stepping in. The samurai was already behind him though, leaning nonchalantly against the railing while he waited for Len to push the button that would take them to the lobby.

"What about..." Len didn't get to finish his question as he heard footsteps pounding down the hallway.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Len moved to look out the elevator doors, catching only a glimpse of Kaito as he raced down the hallway, only to cough as Gakupo jerked him back by the back of his shirt, pushing the button and closing the elevator doors just as Kaito caught up. "Oops." Gakupo smirked, and Len couldn't help but to laugh as he heard Kaito's muffled shouts.

"Poor Kaito," Len wrapped his arms around his sides, leaning back against the rails opposite of the elevator doors, trying to catch his breath.

"Don't even fake it." Gakupo's deeper chuckle rang in perfect harmony with Len's lilting laugh. "He totally deserves it sometimes."

"Yeah," Len smiled brightly, his fit of laughter trailing off. "But you deserve it more."

"Aw, Len-kun, that hurts." Gakupo peeked at Len through one open eye, smirking.

"Don't lie." Len rolled his eyes good-naturedly, and Gakupo chuckled.

"Fine, fine," he lifted his hands again, in a nonchalant shrug. "Maybe I do."

"Maybe?" Len raised an eyebrow, before shaking his head as Gakupo shot him a disarming smile. "More like definitely."

"You don't mean that." It wasn't a question. It was a statement. But as Len looked up to correct Gakupo on that apparent error, his breath caught in his throat. The violet-haired singer had stepped forward, his long stride bringing him directly in front of the shorter boy as he put a hand on either side of the rail behind him. Len's objection died in his throat along with the breath he found himself holding as Gakupo's breath ghosted across his face.

"G-Gaku-nii..." Len stammered, feeling a tell-tale blush staining his cheeks as he looked up into Gakupo's dark violet eyes. They seemed suddenly deeper to Len, like if he took the breath his lungs were begging him for then he would surely drown in the alluring sea of fleeting emotions he found shimmering there.

"Yes, Len-kun?" His voice was no more than a whisper, and no less than a sly murmur, leaving the younger boy struggling to remember what exactly it was he was going to say in the first place. Gakupo smirked, leaning so close that their bangs mingled between their foreheads, a startling contrast of bright blonde and violet. "You're blushing again." He observed quietly. Len fought the shiver that ran down his spine as he jerked his head to the side, only for Gakupo to gently grab his chin, turning him back to face the samurai again. "Are you nervous?"

"N-no," Len stammered, his voice a breathy sigh as Gakupo leaned closer still, a smirk ever-present on his lips.

"Really?" He exhaled softly. Len's heart stuttered as their breaths mingled in the small space between their lips. "You could've fooled me."

The elevator dinged as Gakupo moved to close the final distance between them, and Len's eyes shot wide as Rin's voice echoed through the lobby.

"Len-kun! Come on, I'm starving!"

Her voice was still distant, and Len was convinced for a moment that Gakupo was merely going to do the same to her that he did to Kaito. But the samurai merely tsked quietly, his eyes flashing dangerously as he straightened up, turning around just in time to greet Rin with his usual smirk. "Hey, there, Rin."

Len let out a shaky breath, gripping the bar behind him tighter as he tried to regain his balance. What was that?

"Hey, Gaku-nii." Rin answered absently, completely unaware of the scene she had nearly witnessed. She poked her head in the elevator as Gakupo stepped out. "Are you ready to go? I'm starving."

"Y-Yeah." Len stood up, shoving his hands in his pockets as he tried to hide the fact that they were shaking. Gakupo's raised eyebrow let the boy know that he had noticed anyway. "Let's go."

"So where are we eating?" Gakupo inquired casually, falling in step beside Rin as she bounced back to the entrance.

"I don't know yet."

Len nearly tripped on the rug in front of the door. "We?"

Gakupo flashed him a sly look that told the blonde that his addition was not part of the original plan.

"Well, I don't mind if Gakupo-nii tags along. Do you?" Rin turned to face him, her eyes wide and curious.

"O-Of course not." Len muttered, turning his own gaze to the ground.

"Kaito will probably want to come as well." Gakupo pointed out as the bluenette appeared in the other elevator. "You're sure that we're not ruining your brother-sister time?" The samurai blinked innocently, and Rin laughed, "Of course not! I already invited Miku, anyways."

"That's great." Gakupo flashed Len a smirk. The teen fought the warmth that spread through his cheeks, turning his head to the side when his attempts failed and his cheeks tinted pink again.

"Let's get out of here then." Kaito was hurrying to the door, checking his phone as he went. "We only have an hour for lunch, then it's time for harmony work."

"Right," Gakupo nodded, lingering slightly as Rin bounded out the door after Kaito. Len felt an odd sensation spread from his chest through his fingertips as he realized that he and Galupo were alone together-again.

What is this feeling...? He clenched his fists uncertainly in his jacket pockets, his gaze still locked on the bit of coffee that stained the edge of the welcome rug.

"Are you okay?" Gakupo took a step towards him, and Len took a step back, glancing uncertainly into his violet eyes.

"Why wouldn't I be?" Len echoed his words from earlier, but they held significantly less confidence, the words trembling slightly as they left his lips.

Gakupo chuckled. "You got lucky, Len-kun," he murmured, stepping forward and brushing his fingertips across Len's cheek. The blonde froze, his heart stumbling in his chest as his eyes met Gakupo's. They were dark-dark and hypnotic and Len felt his breath slipping away from him again, even though he and Gakupo were at least an arm length apart. "But I'm not done. There's still a lot I want to talk to you about."

"Len! Gakupo! Let's GO!"

"Later." Len finally rasped, breaking the spell that Gakupo's eyes seemed to cast over him and averting his gaze.

"Alright," Gakupo shrugged, grinning deviously. "Later, then." With a nonchalant wink, he turned and strolled out the door, soothing Rin as she reiterated for the hundredth time that she was starving.

Later... Len echoed quietly in his head, forcing himself to move forward and follow his twin sister as she led the way to their lunch destination. He felt it again, a kind of warmth that rushed through his veins and set his nerves tingling. 'What did you do to me, Gaku-nii...?' He raised his fingers uncertainly to his lips, closing his eyes for a moment as he remembered the feeling of Gakupo's breath lingering there-remembered the sudden longing he'd had to pull him closer and erase the distance between them. What is this feeling...? He opened his eyes again, watching Gakupo throw his arm around Rin's shoulder and ruffle her hair. And why do I only feel it around you...?

The violet-eyed Vocaloid glanced back over his shoulder, catching Len's gaze and dropping a sly wink, leaving Len with the feeling that all of these questions would be answered on Gakupo's terms-which suddenly made "later" seem entirely too far away and entirely too close all at the same time.

"We're here!" Rin announced, throwing open the doors to one of the twins' favorite restaurants. Len took a deep breath through his nose, letting it pass slowly through his lips. First thing's first, he thought grimly, watching as Gakupo made a great flourish of holding the door. Lunch.
