Chapter 1 - Searching Names and an Almost Deadly Experience

~Oliver's POV~

I don't know how it happened, but when I saw him, I knew straight away: I had become gay.

It's what you would probably call 'love at first sight'. My heart pounded in my chest and my face burned up at the sight of him. He only looked a few years older than me, and had light blond hair—much like mine—and dark blue eyes. His hair was tied up in a small ponytail, his long bangs hanging over his face. He had a somewhat childish look to him, but it was mostly drowned out by how handsome he looked as well.

It wasn't a bad combination in my opinion. In fact, I think that might've been the reason I fell in love in the first place! His somewhat childish, yet handsome features... I ended up drooling on the papers I had in my hands and had to get new copies. Meiko had yelled at me since she had agreed to help me with my newly-found fame. I couldn't tell you why I got game. It just kinda...happened.

Apparently, according to Meiko, Miku and Kaito had decided to finally add me to the group of 'official vocaloids', even though I was already a vocaloid to begin with... At first I didn't quite understand it, but suddenly when the burst of fangirls hit, it clicked in my mind.

In the midst of the insanity, I managed to get away from the mobs on fangirls chasing after me. It was actually quite the traumatic experience... I never knew how violent girls could be...

While I was catching my breath, I had looked up for a split second, and there he was. The childishly handsome boy. I immediately froze up and my face turned dark red at the sight of him.

I never had expected myself to get a girlfriend, let alone a boyfriend, so I was extremely shocked when I had realized that I had become gay. I didn't actually really mind, for I had never been into romance that much in the past. I had always been busy with practicing singing and dancing, and that didn't give me much free-time either.

My mind had went blank in that moment of realization, and only a few thoughts raced through my head. Of the few thoughts that were there, about four of them were most likely something along the lines of, 'I'm...gay...?!'

There were few people in the area that I was at that moment, so I got a few good glances at the boy before he had walked on. I was too afraid and embarrassed to go after him, so I hurried back to Meiko and instantly went to searching him up.

It didn't take me long to find out who he was. He was moderately famous—definitely more famous than me though—and his name was 'Len Kagamine'. God, even his name was hot. Just saying it made me drool. Although, I got it on more papers and Meiko yelled at me again.

I ended up looking at pictures of Len all day. Again, I got yelled at because I wasn't helping Meiko help me, but it's worth it. I mean, look at him! He's literally a famous, handsome, somewhat childish boy. Who wouldn't drool over that?

After I had finished helping Meiko help me—she worked me late into the night, I decided to look up when Len'a next concert would be. I thought it might be been okay for me to speak to him personally because we were both vocaloids, but then I started to rethink...

What if he thinks I'm not good enough to be a vocaloid...? What if he laughs at me? What if he gets creeped out if I accidentally start drooling...?! Get a hold of yourself, Oliver! Just control your drool!

I worried and worried so much that I ended up not being able to sleep that night. The concert was next week in an area close to where my next concert would be held, so Meiko allowed me to go visit. I knew she wouldn't just let me go, so I made up the excuse of 'getting to learn how to sing better by having a mentor of some sort'. Luckily, she let it slide.

Len's concert was the day before mine, so I had to cut out some practice time to go see it. I was squished into the back of the large auditorium, so I didn't get a good look at him, even though I had already seen him before.

Even though I couldn't see him, I could definitely hear him. His voice carried across the auditorium, and his voice was so beautiful... It was so nice that I even started drooling again. I think I might have to find a way to fix that...

After the concert, Len was signing autographs for all his fans. Most of them were fangirls, but you shouldn't stereotype people who like vocaloid to just girls.

I didn't want to disrupt him while he was signing autographs, but I wanted one myself...so I got in line. It was a horrible wait... Four hours of waiting in line for one small mark on a picture... Is that really that big of a deal? To answer, yes. Yes it was.

When it was finally my turn, my pulse raced faster than before and I could feel my face burning up. I have to make a good impression...! I thought, smiling awkwardly at Len.

"H-h-hello," I managed to squeak out. "C-c-c-could y-you p-p-please s-sign t-t-this...?" I was even shocked at how badly I had stuttered. I had done it. I had totally messed up my first impression. Time for the worst embarrassment of my life...

"Sure. I guess it can be a bit intimidating for the smaller vocaloids to talk to the really popular ones, right?" Len gave a small chuckle.

I flinched, managing to nod through my shock. He was being nice? Why? Was that what he was like? If it was, I should probably hold my mouth shut...

"Here." Len handed me a paper with his signature on it. "Hey, do you want to have a small chat after I'm finished? I could give you some tips if you want."

I flinched again. Me? He wanted to personally talk to me?! This was the best day of my life! I was mentally screaming in happiness, but was able to keep my screams inside as I slowly nodded my head.

I could barely speak at that moment. Len Kagamine had wanted to talk to me. Personally. It was like a dream come true. Well, a dream that's only been alive for about a week. But it was still there nonetheless!

"Alright, good." Len smiled. "Meet me backstage of the auditorium when I finish autograph signings."

I could feel the small beads of sweat trickling down my forehead as I nodded once more. I was nervous, but excited at the same time. I was nexcited! ...I know that's not a word, but who cares!

I quickly thanked Len and headed over to a nearby bench. I sat down, staring at the signature on the paper. Len Kagamine. His signature flowed smoothly across the page, keeping the picture clean and the writing neat.

The picture was of Len, but he looked older in the picture than he did in real life. I guess this is what they call 'Another Artist's Style'. I recall seeing a few pictures of myself a bit older than I am, but I didn't look as old as Len looked in the picture. He could've been at least twenty years old!

I waited for a while before Len walked over to me. It had been about two hours that I had spent waiting on that bench. By the looks of Len's expression, he hadn't expected me to just sit and wait for him.

"Eh? You waited for me? Here?" Len looked shocked and a bit confused. He sighed softly, outstretching a hand to help me up.

I looked up at him and nodded, managing to sputter out, "Y-y-yeah..." I grabbed his hand, blushing, and pulled myself up off the bench with his help. He smiled at me saying, "I didn't see you head backstage ever, so I thought I'd look for you." He smiles a lot.

"O-o-oh..." I gave an apologetic smile, averting my gaze in embarrassment. I had gotten so excited about waiting that I had forgotten to even go backstage! This whole day is weird...

"Heh. It's fine. C'mon." Len waved for me to follow him as he headed for the auditorium. I guess he wanted to get out of the public. I could understand; the shrieks coming from all the fangirls as they saw him was giving me a headache...

"So," Len started when we got backstage, "you're...Oliver, right?"

I blushed at him taking the time to actually look at the less-popular vocaloids. I wonder if he knew Yohio or Piko...

"Y-yeah..." I forced a smile, trying not to look embarrassed or nervous, but it just ended up looking awkward.

Len laughed. "Good, I got it right. So Oliver, you're the one Meiko went to help, right?"

I flinched. He knew?! ...Well, I guess he would. Meiko is pretty popular... "I-I g-g-guess..." I mentally screamed. 'I guess'?! What is that supposed to mean?!

"Ah, right, right." Len stayed quiet for a moment, making me fidget in nervousness. "I suppose you know Rin then?" Finally breaking the silence...! I sighed softly in relief, hopefully not getting noticed. I couldn't tell by his expression if he knew that I had sighed or not...

"M-mmn." I hummed softly in agreement, nodding my head. Rin was Len's twin sister, and singing partner. Most of his songs are duets with her. I had found out when I was looking up the time for this concert, so it was actually pretty decent that I found out about her.

"Great!" Len laughed happily. It had seemed that he had relaxed a bit more around me. I don't know why he was tense in the first place, but I won't question it. "She's not here right now because this was one of my solo concerts, but I'm sure you'll get to meet her soon."

Meet her? Rin? Wait, does Len plan on talking with me again? Does he consider me a friend?! No, that can't be. I've only just met him in person. Sure, I've watched practically all his music videos ever made on the Internet, but that doesn't mean anything to him! I haven't even said anything other than agreeing with him yet! If only I wasn't so nervous...!

I nodded, the two of us going into a somewhat uncomfortable silence. It didn't seem like Len was bothered by the silence much, only smiling and whistling to himself, but I was a nervous wreck. I had begun to sweat at the fact that he wouldn't speak, and I couldn't get anything out of my dumb mouth in the first place! Speak, Oliver, speak!

"S-s-so..." Yes! You can do it! Ask a question! "...Y-y-you're c-close with y-y-your s-s-sister t-then...?" Good enough!

Len nodded, looking a bit...disappointed...? "Yep. We hang out together a lot, and the duets we do helped our relationship too."

"R-r-right." Again, the silence fell upon us and I got nervous again. Calming myself down with a deep breath, I said, "W-was t-t-there anything y-you wanted t-to t-t-talk about in p-particular...?"

"No, not really." Len's reply was about as simple as you could get. I was somewhat relieved, but also a bit happy. Why...?

"O-oh... W-well, I-I'd b-better head back t-then. S-see y-ya." I awkwardly nodded, turned around, and headed out. I had left so quickly that I didn't even hear what Len had said before I left. Well, I can ask him tomorrow. Wait, am I thinking about going back to talk with him...? Again?! Gah, I'm crazy! ...But it doesn't seem like he'd say no... Ugh! Fine! Tomorrow it is!

A thought so small that I hadn't expected creeped its way into the back of my brain: I can't wait until tomorrow.
