Sweet's Beast II
I do not own VOCALOID
POV of Kaito
Chapter One
I've never had a normal relationship, all because of Beast. Every girl I've ever become close to has discovered the monster inside me and ran. Ran far away and never looked back. It always made me sad; to see so many happy couples and be alone, wanting to make someone happy, but being able to. And then Meiko came along. Beast instantly singled her out. So she finds out about his Royal Pain in the Ass-ness and kicks his ass. The best part is that she wants to help me. She wants to get rid of Beast and be with me forever.
The coffee shop was quiet. It was before the study rush, so I was relaxing behind the counter, reading a Shonen Jump. I had my back pressed against the door to the storage room and had no cares in the world. I had passed my midterms and I'm sure that Meiko would too. I took a long sip of my Coke, but couldn't swallow it. I tried to force it down, but I ended up spitting it into the sink as a black smoke came out of my mouth.
"Hello, Kaito-nii! Long time no see!" The smoky blob hanging in front of me says cheerfully. I glare at it, ready to attack the thing. Truth is, the black smoky blob is Beast.
"Get out. This is a public place." I growl, summoning my courage to give the blob a good fight. "Besides, it's not Valentine's Day, what the hell do you want?"
"I want to say something about my sweet. And they should really rename that holiday Beast's Ultra-Super-Special Day." Beast said arrogantly. I wanted to kill the demon.
"Meiko is NOT your sweet. She's mine. Get that through your thick skull, moron. She's mine and I won't let you have her." The smoke blob shook like it was laughing before it retreated inside of me.
"Kaito!" I hear Meiko's voice ring out in a panicked fashion. I forgot that she had told me that she would come as soon as she could. "Are you alright?" She came over to where I was holding myself over the sink, jumping over the counter surprisingly fast.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lie. As much as I want to, I can't tell her what happened. "I just fell." I get up and smile. Meiko smiles back. I love her smile. It's always warm and full of light.
"Lookie here!" she says excitedly and waves a test paper in my face. I see the one hundred mark as it flies back and forth. I crush her against my chest, most likely crushing the test paper too. I peck her on the cheek as I let Meiko go. She sighs.
"I hate Beast." She says quietly. "You can't give me real kisses, all because of him." I pull her back into my embrace and whisper quietly.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I want to tell her about what happened, but the word catch in my throat.
"I know that you're sorry." Meiko says to my collar bone. "I just wish that we can do something about it." I feel her breath as she sighs again. I want to stay like this. Stuck in the moment, never having to worry about Beast.
A wolf whistle reverberates through my brain, bringing it out of Mmm, Meiko is Realllly Warm-Land. "Things getting steamy back there, Kaito!?" I pull myself out of Meiko's hair and look at Gakupo.
"Really?" I cock an eyebrow. He laughs.
"Oh, c'mon. You asked for it, cuddling back there." Gakupo says as he dumps his stuff at a table and waves me out to him. I walk forward until Meiko catches my shoulder and pulls me back.
"Latte first." With that she swished out from behind the counter with me. I laugh slightly, loving how much I got out of my job at the campus Starbucks. Meiko, all over me for her coffee. All the time. I love it.
The door bell ingles and I look up to Luka enter the shop and run over to Gakupo. She pecks him on the lips before running over to Meiko to talk about… whatever girls talk about. I sigh. I want that kind of greeting. If it wasn't for Beast, I could have that kind of greeting. I looked back at what I was doing to try and get the thought off my mind, but it stuck as I prepared the latte. It wasn't long till I heard a squeak.
I whipped around to see Gakupo all over Meiko, kissing her passionately. She was trying to get him to stop, but he held her with an iron grip. I jumped out from behind the counter and slammed Gakupo into the nearest wall.
"What the hell are you doing?" I spat, the rage reverberating off of me.
"Claiming what should be rightfully mine." Gakupo said nonchalantly. I punched him in the stomach.
"She my girlfriend. Isn't Luka yours?"
"I might as well have two. You never kiss Meiko. How can you claim her?" He smirked. My blood boiled.
"You know damn well why I can't kiss her." I growled but released him. We moved off, Gakupo to start his shift, me to go home. "You ever try that again, and you'll have more than bruises." I said as I left the coffee shop.
Meiko was sitting in the front seat of my car, blasting the radio and heat. I swung into the driver's seat and gave her a kiss.
"We have to do something about this." She said quietly.
"Yeah."
