Miku Hatsune hated Christmas. It was a time for love; something the tealette lacked.

Of course, she did have her sights set on someone special.

Kaito Shion.

"Miku-chan?" Miku Hatsune looked to her caller. Speak of the Devil.

"Kaito-kun, what are you doing here?" She asked the blue haired boy. She was out Christmas shopping for her sister Neru; she was always hard to shop for and didn't like to answer her older sister when she had asked what she wanted.

"I just decided to take a walk," He said, shrugging. "What about you?"

Miku had trouble speaking. It was a little hard to talk to him, ever since the little incident that happened around 2 years ago…

"Hey, Miku," The 7th grade tealette looked up to her friend, Haku Yowane. They've been good friends since they met last year. Haku was a little different than anyone else she knew. She was extremely cheerful, outgoing, likes to put herself out there.

Someone Miku wouldn't usually be friends with.

"Yes Haku-chan?" She asked politely, and Haku cracked a smile, smacking her on the arm lightly. Miku jumped in surprise.

"Don't be so polite, Miku. Call me Haku, kay?" She winked and then noticed the girl rubbing the spot on her arm that she hit. "Oh, I didn't hurt you did I?" She asked worriedly. Even if she was a bit eccentric doesn't mean she can't be caring too.

"No, I'm just a bit surprised is all." She answered, sitting down on the choir riser. It was the beginning of the school day, which meant it was time to sing. Miku and Haku both loved choir; it was their favorite class.

Haku sat down next to her, and brushed off her skirt. Then she started to talk about something funny that happened to her last night, and Miku pretended to be listening. But what she was really paying attention to a certain scarf-wearing boy who had just walked in.

"And then they were like 'No, you can't-'…Miku? Are you listening?" Haku asked, poking her on the thigh. Miku immediately averted her gaze from him to Haku, who was continually poking her in the thigh. She raised an eyebrow at the tealette and looked around, until her gaze was emitted in one single direction.

"Oh~," She started, smiling; "I get it. It's okay, Miku." She wriggled her eyebrows in a suggestive manner and Miku immediately blushed.

"Sh-shush, Haku-chan!" Miku exclaimed, and took a quick look back at the boy, who was chatting with his friends. Then she looked back at Haku, who had a delighted look on her face.

That was never good.

"Why don't you just ask out Kaito-kun over there, huh~?" She asked, twirling a lock of blonde hair. "I know you like him, Miku~"

"W-what? No way! Besides…" Miku said, looking down in disappointment, "I think he has a crush on Sakine-san…"

"Who wouldn't like Miku Hatsune? You're amazing!" Haku exclaimed, gaining attention from other kids in the classroom.

"I didn't degrade myself, Haku-chan." Miku pointing out, placing a finger over her mouth to signal Haku to be quieter.

"Haku," She said, lowering her voice, "And it doesn't matter. What matters is-"

"Hey, I think you dropped this?" Miku looked up to a familiar face. She started to blush as she realized that it was him…

Kaito Shion.

He held up a long red ribbon. Miku immediately placed a hand on top of her pigtail and felt to see if the ribbon was there. She only felt one in her left pigtail, and began to blush a darker red.

"O-oh, thanks Kaito-kun," She said quietly, but loud enough for him to hear. She reached out to grab the ribbon but he closed his fist around it and smiled.

"Here, I'll put it in for you." He gently started to wrap the ribbon around her pigtail, and Miku started to feel her heart pound in her chest. She tried to ignore Haku, who was gleaming in her eyes and poking Miku's side excitedly. He managed to tie it in time, for the teacher was just now starting to play the piano. He smiled at her one last time with a little wave, and then walked over to his spot on the riser. Haku and Miku got up on the top riser and started to sing warm-ups, Haku still poking her behind rows of other singers. Miku couldn't contain her blush, and when she thought of that moment when Kaito ran his fingers over her hair…it made her feel excited. And warm. Very, very warm.

Soon they went through all of their songs, and got to the part of choir Miku had always looked forward too.

The Weekly Sing-off.

Two students were chosen from the choir, most of the time at random, to sing. Four other students were chosen to judge the two.

It was a lot of fun.

The Choir teacher, Megurine-sensei, got the bowl from her desk and rummaged through the pieces of paper to draw out four students for the judges. She pulled out two and read them aloud, but Miku only heard the first.

"Kaito Shion," She said, and waved him over. A few of the guys clapped for their friend as he got up and pulled a chair to sit down on the left side of the room. The Judges Corner, is what Megurine-sensei called it.

She pulled out two more but Miku wasn't really paying attention to her, and was focusing more of her attention on Kaito. She loved watching him do mindless things; run his hand through his hair, scratch his chin, brush off his clothes. It was cute.

"Yay~" Haku jumped off the riser to join the other judges. She took the last seat, as Megurine-sensei had drawn out her name when Miku wasn't listening.

"Do we have any volunteers today?" Megurine-sensei asked, glancing around the room. Miku saw a familiar hand shoot up from the alto section. "Oh, Sakine-san. Thanks for volunteering." Meiko Sakine got up and brushed off her uniform, and walked to the front of the room. Miku glanced at Kaito and saw that he was blushing faintly. Haku noticed this also and squinted at the brunette.

"I'm going to sing 'Evil Food Eater Conchita'," Meiko announced, and the music started to play. Miku half-listened as she glanced sadly at Kaito, who kept that blush on his face. Then she looked to Haku, who already had her eyes on the tealette. She mouthed something Miku couldn't make out, and then winked at her.

Oh no.

That didn't mean anything good either.

As soon as Meiko finished, everyone started to clap. She smiled at the audience. Meiko wasn't a bad singer; she was actually fairly good. Miku just didn't like the fact that Kaito was drooling all over her during it…

"Okay Judges, what did you think?" Megurine-sensei asked as Meiko stood, fidgeting nervously. Kaito smiled, his blush deepening.

"8 out of 10." He said, and everyone clapped again. She continued getting 8's, until it was Haku's turn.

"Hm…6 out of 10." She answered, and everyone was quiet. Meiko looked a bit upset but nodded at her choice. She then returned to her seat.

"Does anyone else want to sing now?"

"Oh!" Haku raised her hand and smiled sweetly at the rosette. "Miku has been dying to sing in the sing-offs, Megurine-sensei!" Haku winked at Miku with a thumbs-up sign. Miku mentally face-palmed as everyone started to urge her to get up there.

"What do you want to sing?" Megurine-sensei asked, going through her music list.

"Love is War," Miku decided. She didn't have much of a choice anyway, Haku making up a lie so she could sing in front of Kaito.

The music started, and Miku felt her worries leave her body. She had always loved this song…

"Mou yukiba ga nai WA kono koi no netsuryou, ah~"

Miku felt relaxed and at ease. This song matched her situation perfectly.

As the song finished, everyone was silent. Miku looked around worriedly, and then jumped at the sudden sound of applause.

"That was great, Hatsune-san!" Megurine-sensei placed an arm around the surprised tealette. "What did you think?" She asked, aiming her question to the judges. Miku looked to Kaito, who had a surprised look over his face, along with a faint blush. He cleared his throat and sat up straight.

"…10 out of 10." He announced, and the crowd started to cheer again. The perfect score continued through the other three judges, and Miku was appalled. She didn't think she was that great of a singer…

After Megurine-sensei had announced that she won, choir was dismissed. Miku started to walk over to get her binder but was stopped by a warm hand placed over her shoulder. She turned around to face Meiko.

"Sakine-san?" Miku asked, confused. This was the first time the girl had approached Miku.

"You did great. Amazing." She told her, brushing a lock of brown hair behind her ear. "You really should take pride in that voice of yours."

"O-oh, thanks…" Miku said, uneasily. Okay, this is kinda weird. Meiko is a good singer and all, but generally not a usually nice person.

"Did you see Kaito-kun staring at you? Aha~ It was so cute." Meiko said, smiling. Miku started to blush as she wrapped her head around Meiko's words.

"R-really?" Miku asked, smiling a little. Meiko smiled wide and wrapped an arm around the tealette, as she picked up her music binder.

"Yeah. And, I heard that he has a major crush on you…" The statement almost made Miku drop her binder. Could he really like her?

"What?" Miku managed out, after a moment of silent thinking.

"Yep! I also heard that he would be confessing today, at lunch. In front of everyone." She continued. Miku's eyes widened as a smile spread across her face.

"Meiko-chan! Over here!" One of Meiko's friends, Rui, called to her. Meiko told her she would be there in a second and looked back to Miku.

"I'll see you, then," She told her, and smiled a smile that almost seemed smug one last time and ran to join her friend. Miku stumbled up the stairs from the choir room as she thought of what Meiko told her.

The rest of the day, Miku couldn't focus on her studies. Her mind was elsewhere.

Kaito.

Was he really going to confess?

Lunch came along, and Miku was nervous. She didn't know what to do exactly; she had never been confessed to before, much less in front of a crowd.

"Miku-chan?" The girl was snapped out of her thoughts and she looked up to a blushing Kaito.

Is he really going to do it?

"I just wanted to tell you something…"

Oh, here it comes Miku.

Do something!

Miku felt herself getting pushed forward into the bluenette. She felt her lips attach unto his warm pink ones. Immediately, she started to feel her face get hot as she pulled away from the kiss that seemed to last forever. She brushed her hand over her lips, and felt electricity dancing upon them. She looked up to Kaito, who was madly blushing with a confused look on his face.

"Kaito, I love you!" She confessed. She at least wanted to say it before he did as she had accidently stole one of his kisses. Kaito looked confused and shocked, then smiled gently.

"I-I'm sorry Miku…but I'm dating Meiko-chan."

What?

The earth began to crumble under Miku's feet. She could practically feel herself falling down, down, down…

"What do you mean?" She managed to say, face still red, "Sakine-san told me that…"

"That we were already dating." Meiko stepped out from behind Miku and hugged Kaito. "I tried to tell her, but she refused to believe it, Kaito-kun! Then she did such a nasty thing…" Miku couldn't believe what she was hearing. That bitch! She planned this. She must've planned this!

Miku looked to Kaito. "But you said you had to tell me something!"

"I was gonna admire your singing voice, Miku-chan…" He said, holding Meiko as she pretended to cry in his arms.

Miku felt the tears threatening to spill. She let them flow, and watched as they dripped on the ground in little splatters.

"Miku-chan…" Kaito reached out to touch her shoulder comfortingly, but Miku stepped back so he couldn't reach her.

"You know what? I'm sick of this," She said, tears getting into her mouth. She accepted the salty bitter taste as she threw her words at the two. "I'm sick of playing the nice girl, when you aren't." She walked up to a smug Meiko and slapped her across the face. Miku felt an adrenaline rush as she did so; all of her anger, at Meiko, at herself, being vented into that one slap. Meiko stood there in shock, head still thrown to the side. Miku didn't wait for anyone to do anything else. She just gave one last sad look to Kaito and ran away, head in her hands, tears flying past her.

"Miku-chan?" Kaito's voice brought the tealette back to reality. She blinked a few times and blushed madly.

"W-what did you say again?" She asked, stuttering. Kaito repeated himself.

"Oh, I'm just late Christmas shopping…" Miku told him, and began to walk again. Kaito followed her, much to Miku's dismay. She didn't really want to talk to him; it was too awkward.

"In this cold weather?" Kaito asked her. It was just below freezing, but the tealette didn't really notice it until Kaito mentioned the cold air. She shivered but kept her steady pace.

"I'm fine," Miku told him, and peered into a shop window. No, nothing here Neru would like…

"Here, just take this." Miku looked over to Kaito, who was unwrapping the blue scarf that tied perfectly around his slender neck. He handed it to her and smiled gently. Miku pushed it away with a soft blush.

"I can't take that," She told him, trying a small smile, "Then you would get cold…" Kaito shook his head and wrapped it around her neck. Miku gasped at the sudden action and her blush deepened. It was just like last time…

"I'll be fine. I'm just worried about you." Miku nodded shyly and turned to look back in the window to avoid Kaito's soft blue eyes. They were so intriguing…

"How is Meiko?" Miku asked. Oh, no. She didn't mean to ask that! It just slipped out of her mouth…

Kaito was silent for a moment and Miku looked at his reflection in the glass. He seemed a little agonized, but the emotion slipped his features in no time.

"Actually, I broke up with her a few months ago…" He answered after a silent pause. Miku raised her eyebrows in sudden interest and turned back to him.

"What? Why?" The words slipped out of her mouth again. She should learn how to think before asking things…

"I caught her cheating…but it's no big deal. I was going to break up with her anyway." Kaito peered to the side of Miku, deep in thought. Miku nodded. Kaito didn't look like he really wanted to talk about it anyway.

"I'm sorry…" Miku told him. He looked back at her and smiled.

"I told you it wasn't a big deal. Besides, I have my sights set on someone else…" He trailed off in thought, as he looked straight in Miku's aqua eyes. Miku looked back into his deep navy blue ones. She couldn't keep herself from it; it's hard not to look the guy you like in the eyes. She caught herself after awhile and turned back to look in the window again. Her face was burning, and she could see the blush in her reflection.

"What's she like?" She whispered, and he chuckled.

"Oh," he started, looking at her reflection smiling. "She's great. Sweet, caring, beautiful, funny…"

"Who is it?" She asked the boy. He smiled at her again, this time it was a small smile. Miku felt her heart sink, for she knew what it meant.

He won't tell her.

"I still love you…" She whispered to herself, placing her hand softly on the glass. Her breath caused the glass to fog up. It was very quiet but she meant those words, with all of her heart.

Miku gasped in surprise as the bluenette wrapped his arms around Miku's waist and nuzzled his face into her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Miku-chan," He whispered, his warm breath tickled her cold skin. "About that time awhile back…I love you too." Miku felt her heart pound wildly in her chest. She stood there frozen for a few seconds, her face light up in the dark cold night time sky. Shyly, she turned around and hugged him.

"…I love you," She whispered in his warm chest.

Neru's present can wait 'till later, right?
