I made this to celebrate Rin's (And Len's...Sorta) Birthday, which is in three weeks. You may be asking 'why I'm uploading this so early?' Well it's because this will be a three chapter story with each one being posted weekly.
Also this a sequel to Miku's Birthday gift so if haven't read it and you don't want to get confused you should go read that. (Though it's not 100% necessary)
Criticism, like always is welcomed.
Note: This takes place from Miku's point of view.
It's been three months since Rin and I confessed our true feelings for each other and became an official couple.
Although we are very happy together and love finding any excuse to be alone together. (And I mean any excuse) the reaction of the other Vocaloids as well as our fans are... Well mixed.
The Vocaloids pretty much had no problem with the two of us, like Luka,Gakupo, Len and Meiko, they all accepted and supported our love the moment we told them, although Meiko loves to make lesbian jokes and puns whenever she sees us which can get really annoying.
Kaito is still a little upset that I wasn't into him, but he's slowly getting over it. The other Vocaloids in other places either support us or don't care which I don't mind.
Our fans reactions on the other hand are a lot more varied and interesting. Most of the fans accepted us with no worries, but I got a lot of emails that said what we were doing was wrong, gross, immoral, inappropriate for the kids (and horrible murders, suicides, adultery and incest in our songs is perfectly fine?) and of course the people who complain about us not being with Kaito or Len, those we're the most annoying emails to get.
That's not the problem I'm having though, trust me I can take some of the more hurtful emails with a grain of salt.
The big problem is that it will be exactly one, yes, ONE! Week till my girlfriend's birthday, how is that bad you may ask? I think Rin might have told you this story already, but I'll tell it again anyway.
As a lot of you already know, my 16th birthday happened only three months ago roughly, for her present to me, she spent the whole year growing my favourite food, a potted Leek which is resting soundly on my desk so whenever I'm working on a new song or reading a song sheet I can look at it and think of her.
We also admitted our love for each other on that very day, oh it was so wonderful, so romantic, and I can still remember the taste of her lips when they first made contact with mine. (Love struck sigh)
...Sorry I forgot what I was taking about...Oh yeah, why Rin's birthday being so close and why it's a problem.
You see, Rin's birthday is not bad, trust me I'm very much looking forward to it, the trouble is that I...I...I HAVE NOTHING FOR HER!
She grew a plant for me that took a year and yet I have nothing, NOTHING! You know how horrible of a thing that is to do to the one you love? A very very horrible thing!
It's not like I haven't been trying, trust me when I say I have been trying hard to make or buy something very special for her.
But every time I try to make something for her it ends in disaster, last time I tried making something I almost set my room on fire and I was only trying to make a paper Mache bust of Rin, it's a good thing Luka was nearby with the fire extinguisher...Yeah I'm not very good when it comes to arts and crafts.
Shopping has also been a pain since I can't find anything worthy enough for her.
(Sigh) Now in desperation, I'm in my room on my computer looking for advice from complete strangers. (Of course I'm keeping my identity secret.)
It's a good thing Rin and Len are out grocery shopping with Meiko or else I would have been looking over my shoulder panicking. (Even though Rin knocks before entering my room.)
"You know, if you keep staring at that screen for too long you're going to go blind, and nobody would want that." That lady who just entered my room is my best friend and maybe a little bit of a mother figure to me, was Luka... Who forgot to knock on my door before entering, I can see why Rin complains about that sometimes.
"Oh hi Luka, I didn't hear you come in." Because you didn't knock on my door.
She walked in closer and hovered over my shoulder to look at my screen. "Let's see what's got you so occupied that locked you up in here for 3 hours." What? Now that's an overstatement, let's see, I started at 10:30AM and it's now...Oh...
Luka stayed quiet for second probably reading my Google search results. "Hm...Why do you have 'Fantastic gift ideas for your girlfriend?' in the search bar?" Yep, I was right.
"Well...You see." I thought I should tell her since she might be able to help me with my conundrum. " I've been looking for the perfect gift for Rin's birthday for three months now, but no matter where I go or what I make I just can't live up to what she got me for my birthday."
Luka only smiled and shook her head. "Why are you worrying so much about giving Rin the perfect gift, you both love each other right?"
"I don't see why you need to ask, you already know the answer to that." We don't keep our love subtle, so why is Luka asking me this?
"So stop stressing yourself out, I'm sure she'll love whatever you get her because it's from you." I see where she's coming from, but I don't want her to settle for something mediocre, she deserves the best, a gift that comes from the heart and that's what I'm going to find.
"Thanks for the advice Luka, but I still need to find something that will show how much I care about her." I soon lowered my head in shame. "Yet I can't find or make a single thing to show that..." (Sigh) I'm such a bad girlfriend.
I could see Luka had her hand on her chin looking like she was thinking about something. "Hm... I know how about you list everything she likes and then from there we can figure out what to get her based on that."
"You know, that's not a bad idea." A have to hand it to Luka, she's amazing when it comes to making simple yet brilliant ideas.
Luka pulled out a pen and pad from my draw and sat on my bed waiting for me to start listing Rin's likes. "Alright, began whenever you're ready.
"Alright let's see." I didn't even need to think, I rapidly started listing all of Rin's likes and hobbies. "She loves gaming, soft pluses, action and comedy movies especially if they mix genres, fantastic artist, love's pop and rock music, favourite singer besides me is Lilly, thinks space is very fascinating, favourite food is oranges, road roller expert, is more of a summer girl, loves sleeping in-
"Whoa whoa, slow down Miku." Luka looked like she was having a mini panic attack trying to keep up with me...Woops. "...I think we have enough to decide what we can get for Rin."
"Are you sure? I can list more."
"No no no, that'd be fine Miku." Luka waved her arms frantically not wanting that. "Here, I hope this will help with your predicament." She left my note pad on my desk.
I rolled my chair over to the desk and hovered over the note pad taking a quick peck still not completely satisfied with it. "...Are you sure this is long enough?"
"Hey, if you want to add more to the list no one's stopping you." I don't see why anyone would stop me. "But you can do that later."
"Huh?" What is she talking about...And why is she getting behind me grabbing my chair.
"First things first, you need to get out of this stuffy room for at least a few hours." She rudely started rolling me out of my room.
"What? But I still need to find Rin's gift!" This is kidnapping, granted a non-dangers form of it but it's still kidnapping!
"You still have plenty of time to do that." She said gleefully almost like she was mocking me. "But you need to stop stressing so much and go out and have some fun, come on I'll take you out to the park, my treat."
"But I...*Sigh* Fine." Luka was dragging me to the park whether I like it or not so I just gave in to the mighty power of the pink haired diva crossing my arms in annoyance of course.
Dropping my chair off somewhere in the hallway, we made our way to the den were we meet a familiar blue haired boy sitting on the couch playing the Wii. "Come on! I only need one more kill...YES ha ha ha take that Luigi!" Talking to yourself while gaming, the leading cause of mistaken insanity.
"...Hm? Oh Miku, Luka? I didn't see you there. I was just you know...Completely owning the game." He put the controller down and stretched his arms trying to act cool.
If you don't know who that is, that is Kaito, yes, he is the same Kaito I mentioned, he used to have a big crush on me for I don't even know how long.
A few months ago on my sixteen birthday he got me a bunch of roses and asked me out on a date, I was flatted but turned him down telling him I wasn't into him like that since I was in love with Rin but I didn't tell him that, he seemed to take it well until he walked on me and Rin kissing... To say, he didn't take it too well is an understatement.
He was very bitter towards me for a few weeks but he soon got over it after some time...At least I think he got over it? "Yeah, I see that you're owning level one AI." Yeah I can be sarcastic when I want to be.
"Huh... Oh?" Kaito glanced at the T.V not realising he was at the character select screen. "Yeah, you were not meant to see that." I could see the embarrassment in Kaito's face as he provides more evidence that he is not much of a gamer.
"So what are you ladies up to?"
" I'm taking Miku to the park to get some fresh air, she needs it after all." Hey! I'm standing right here you know.
"Oh yeah, you did lock yourself in your room for 3 hours just now…Just what were you doing in that time anyway?" Getting a little nosey there Kaito.
"I was researching something on-line." Which was true.
"By research, you don't mean watching funny internet video's, playing video games or looking at porn, because if it's the last one that means your visually cheating on your girlfriend which is wrong." Hey, I don't look at porn!… Anymore…Rarely
I crossed my arms and huffed. "No, I was not looking up any of that stuff."
"Oh, so then what were you doing for three hours anyway?" Just needs to know everything doesn't he.
I decided to tell him so he could stop asking questions slowing down my already wasted time. "If you must know, I was trying to look for the perfect gift for Rin, I would have kept searching but a certain someone is forcing me to go to the park." I glared at Luka only for her to responded with 'a well' shrug. "…I already got her something for Christmas but I just can't find anything I feel will be good enough for her."
I noticed Kaito smiled and shook his head… Was he amused by this? If so why? "Oh sounds like trouble in your little paradise." Huh? Where the hell did that come from?
"What are you implying?" I gave him a stern look wanting answers to that comment.
He stared back with an equally stern look. "What I'm saying is any other good girlfriend would know what to get their boyfriend, or in your case girlfriend on their birthdays in a second, but I can see we all can't be good at keeping our lovers happy can we?" Wha- I….I Can't believe he said that.
"KAITO!" Luka screamed at the top of her lungs. "What the hell is wrong with you, you know better than that, apologize to Miku this instant!" It's a good thing no one else is in the house right now, or else this situation might get worse.
"Why! It's not my fault she loves to break people's hearts." I guess I was wrong; Kaito did not get over that day.
Luka heavily took a breath. "I know you're hurt about Miku choosing Rin over you, but you need to stop being an asshole and get the fuck over it, there are plenty of other girls out there who would kill to be with you, so stop obsessing over Miku and meet one already."
"You know what I don't need any of this shit!" He got off the couch and stomped past us shoulder bumping into me. " I'm going to my room!" The slam of his door could be heard across the whole house.
We stared at the door in bewilderment, I don't know what Luka was thinking but I had a lot of conflicting emotions. I felt hurt and angry by Kaito's horrible comments but at the same time, I don't know why but for some reason I think he might be right, anyone else in my situation would know what to get their girlfriend straight away, but I can't think of a single thing… Maybe he's right; maybe I do suck at being a good girlfriend.
"Can you believe that, I can understand him being upset over getting rejected at first, but it's been three months and he's still moping around, and that outburst was just pathetic right Miku…" She turned to me expecting a response. "…Miku?"
"…Let's just head to the park already." I hurried out the door wanting this day to end.
"…Are you going to be okay Miku?"
I slowly turned to Luka staring at her straight in the eyes.
I don't know Luka…
I don't know
