Hey guys! So, I just thought I'd write something a little bit... lax lately, so I went lazy on the quality control and wrote this! Like I said, I slacked a little on the quality control, so it might not be as good as some of my other stuff. Also, this is a yaoi fic, so if you're not into yaoi, than this probably isn't for you. With that said, I hope you enjoy it!

"Alright boys, rise and shine, time to get to work!" Jaci, the vocaloids' publicist, shouted as she banged loudly on the door to Kaito and I's apartment. Kaito was still in bed, and his only reply was what sounded like an irritated zombie noise. I took another sip of my green tea, sitting calmly at the kitchen's bar-style table. She would probably just use her key to open the door and come in anyways. Sure enough, a few moments later the annoying American publicist was standing in the apartments mainspace.

"Good morning," I greeted her calmly, taking another sip.

"Morning Gakupo. Kaito's still in bed, isn't he?" she asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yup. Can I get you some tea while you're waiting? He was out pretty late last night."

"No, that's fine... He needs to stop that. We have a schedule to keep. Lots to do today. After all, we'd hate to disappoint all of your adoring fans." She walked over to the window and pulled up the blinds. Several teenage girls were standing outside of it, holding signs with various fangirly messages on them: "Kaito x Gakupo forever," "We love you guys," "Can I have your babies?" etc. Jaci shut the blinds.

"Ha ha ha," Kaito chuckled from behind me, where the doorway to the bedroom is. "That never gets old." I turned to look at my roomate. He was almost completely naked, since he slept in his boxers, and I had to admit, his bedhead was rather impressive – the hair on the left side of his head was flattened and standing straight up. He walked up to the fridge, opened it, and pulled out a beer.

"You slept well. Bit early for that though, isn't it?" I snickered, referring to the beer. Kaito had a few unhealthy habits; occasional drinking was one of them.

"Shut up," he answered tritely, opening the bottle and taking a swig.

"Come on, get dressed! Comb your hair!" Jaci insisted, slapping him on the back right as he was drinking, causing him to choke on the alcohol. "You shouldn't be drinking that stuff anyways, your systems can't process it."

"Whatever," he said, recovering after a few moments. "It's not like I get drunk or anything. I just like how it tastes." He had a minor point – we are androids, after all, and while the technology that makes us function can simulate most normal human experiences, drunkenness is not one of them. Probably to not give Kaito a reason to drink, because let me tell you, if he could get drunk at parties, he would.

"Still, it's not like we can just build another KAITO. You guys are seriously expensive. So try not to break!" she insisted. I sighed. It always bugged me when she talked like that. I mean, I get that I'm a robot, so I'm probably not technically alive, but... are we really only worth a few million bucks to Jaci? It honestly seems like there's no emotional attachment at all with her.

"So, what's on the schedule for today?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Recording and vocal practice from 9-10. Guitar at eleven. Lunch break from twelve to one, and then you both have a photoshoot together."

"Let me guess – yaoi again?" I guessed, finishing my tea.

"Oh yeah, that stuff sells like hotcakes! We were thinking of making a calendar!"

"Of course you were..." I sighed. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm a singer or just a pornstar. I mean, she hasn't made us pose naked (yet), but it's to the same effect.

"Oh! And don't forget that you both have a concert in less than a week with Kagamine Len, so you'd probably want to work on your SCL Project songs." Kaito and I nodded, and she continued on her way out the door: "Alright. See you at the studio in an hour bye~!" She left. I sighed again and finished my tea.

"God, she's annoying," Kaito remarked accurately as soon as the door shut. I nodded. "She really irks you, doesn't she?" He asked me, the grouchy-morning-Kaito starting to wear off. I just nodded again, putting my tea cup into the sink.

"Well, and the whole yaoi thing irks me," I answered. "Not that I have anything against it, but I thought we were made to sing, but instead we end up posing shirtless for some calendar."

"A calendar... that's rich," he chuckled. "Look man, it's no secret: We are seriously living fanservice. The difference between you and me is that I'm ok with that." I sighed again.

"That reminds me," I told him, "you need to quit staying out so late with all your girls. You need to sleep or your circuits will melt. Besides, some fans are... scary."

"Oh, believe me, I know. But I'm being careful about it, and I'm only going one at a time. Got rid of that last one though. She was kinda stupid. She kept insisting that I use a condom, like really? What are you gonna get, malware? 'But if I got pregnant, what would the kid look like?' she says. Nothing. It won't look like anything I'm a robot we can't reproduce!" I chuckled a bit. Kaito's girlfriend stories were always entertaining. I wasn't really interested in dating myself. "But anyways, I'm thinking of going steady sometime soon."

"Really?" I said, raising an eyebrow. "Somehow I can't see that. The beast likes his sweets, after all."

"Whatever, Mr.-Duke-Venomania-never-had-a-girlfriend-in-his-life."

"Hmph. So how did this sudden decision come about?"

"Ok, so don't tell anyone, otherwise the press will literally explode, but I've kinda got this crush on Len..."

"Len?!" I replied, with a disbelieving smile. "Len is fourteen, you perv."

"Well, I mean, if you want to talk actual years, none of us are older than eight, so..."

"Whatever, you know what I meant. He looks fourteen."

"Hey, it's not like anyone cares. I'm just saying... it'd be nice if we could hook up, you know? He looks really cute in a dress." I laughed.

"Well anyways, we'd better get ready. If we're late to the studio, Jaci will literally kill us."


We were leaving guitar practice for lunch when Kaito made a very poor attempt at picking up Len. He had been practicing with us for the concert, and after we were all dismissed for lunch break, Kaito decided he'd pull Len over to ask him out. I hated to eavesdrop, but I was insanely curious as to how that would go, so I listened in.

"Hey, Len," Kaito started, pulling the other vocaloid over before he could walk out of the door. I could already tell he was going to crash and burn. "I was just wondering... were you planning on doing anything later? Like, after you're done with everything?"

"Well..." Len muttered. He was already looking uncomfortable. This was not good. "Rin and I were going out for dinner later..."

"That sounds great! Maybe I could come? But not with Rin. Just you... and me... and maybe ice cream?" It took all of my strength not to burst out laughing.

"I... uh... I'd better not cancel on Rin... And actually, I need to go meet her for lunch, or she'll be worried... Maybe some other time," Len stuttered before bolting out the door. Kaito sighed and hung his head, embarrassed. I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Maybe next time, bro." He just sighed. "Come on, let's get something to eat." We walked down the hallway towards the studio's cafeteria. The food wasn't half bad, and most importantly, it was private. I honestly can't stand getting almost mobbed by fans everywhere I go. Besides, I didn't even think Kaito could handle the attention right now.

"Could you... just... kill me? Just shoot me in the face?" He asked me. He seriously looked like he was about to go grow mushrooms in the corner.

"Aw, come on man, it wasn't that bad."

"It was horrible. I'm going to have to commit seppuku because of this." He obviously wasn't feeling better, so I decided to switch tactics.

"Aw come on, if I let you die, Jaci would kill me. Although, it was pretty bad. Ice cream? As though you weren't coming off as a big enough creep already."

"Shutup! I just like ice cream ok?"

"Honestly, I'm wondering how you managed to pick up all those girls."

"Hey, this is different."

"Honestly though, I've never seen you so serious about anything like this. I think you can do it; you just need to relax a bit more."

"Alright. Thanks man." He smiled at me, and it seemed to be one of the only moments in his life that he was ever sincere. It honestly kind of scared me. But I smiled back.

"C'mon. Let's get something to eat."


The conversation we had over lunch was interesting too.

"You know, we are really fascinating thing," Kaito started, taking another bite. "It's crazy. I mean, we're almost human. Hell, we can even feel sexual attraction. It just makes you wonder, you know, if I broke down, and they built another KAITO android, and built him the exact same way, would he be exactly the same as me? Or is there more to us than our programing?"

"That's awfully deep for you," I remarked calmly, eating another sushi roll. I would've been more impressed, except I'd been spouting that same thing for at least a month now. Oh well. At least this meant he must have taken some of it in.

"Hey, I've just been thinking lately, you know? We have all these feelings... we can even have sex, even if we can't actually reproduce, so... are we really alive, do you think?"

"We are more than we are programmed to be. That's for sure." Just then, Hatsune Miku and Gumi walked up, each carrying their own lunch trays.

"Hey guys," she greeted us, not taking a seat.

"Hey Miku. What's up?" Kaito asked.

"We were thinking of getting the gang together and going out for dinner tonight. You guys think you could make it?"

"I mean, we have a photoshoot this afternoon, but it shouldn't go longer than five. We could probably come," I informed her. Kaito nodded.

"Sweet! Call me when you get done; I can pick you up. See you then!" She and Gumi left to sit at another table.

"You are really pissed about his photoshoot, aren't you?" Kaito asked me, as soon as the girls were gone.

"You can tell?" I remarked, with a pained smile. "I just don't get the point of it. I mean, you'd think our albums would be making enough money, but ever since we performed that cover of Magnet –"

"Bro, we kissed. On stage. In front of everyone. I'm pretty sure some yaoi fangirls actually died because of it."

"I know. But I wish she wouldn't treat us like objects. Like, we have free will. I'd like to use it for once."

"I know man, she's such a bitch. But hey, she's human – eventually she'll retire, or die, and then we'll never have to deal with her again." I laughed.

"You are a terrible person, you know that?"

"Hell, I'm proud of it. But we'd better get eating. If we're late, Jaci will make sure we die before she even gets the chance." He had a point. I finished my lunch, smiling ironically the rest of the time.
