It was Nigaito who spoke up first.
"I-it's getting kind of dark..."
I grinned to myself. My house wasn't that far away, I could walk there in five minutes. However, why pass up the opportunity to spend the night here? Ignoring Akaito's presence just outside, it could be a nice night, just the two of us. Just the thought of it made me ecstatic.
"I could always just stay here," I said happily, turning over onto my back yet again. "After all, your bed is big enough for two..."
I saw Nigaito blush again out of the corner of my eye. I grinned, blushing slightly myself. Since our... "confessions," we'd stayed in Nigaito's room. Really only a few minutes had passed, but it seemed like forever. I spotted a small radio and got up to turn it on. As if on cue, one of Miku's songs immediately began to play. It was one of her better yet less popular ones, 20XX. I quietly sang along. Nigaito smiled softly when he heard my voice.
"I'd sing along if I knew the words," he said quietly.
I nodded at him and kept singing. 20XX was one of my favorite songs, just because it was so different from all the junk Miku usually sang. All that crap about relationships that she'd never really been in kind of annoyed me.
"Learn the words then," I replied as the song came to an instrumental break. Nigaito's smile widened. "Maybe we could sing a duet," he said hopefully.
"I dunno, it seems pretty impossible. Some user would have to do a lot of planning to get our voices to go together on the same song..."
"... And you don't think that anyone would be willing to do that much for us, right? Yeah, you're probably right... but it would be really nice if we could."
"Yeah..." I sighed. Singing together with Nigaito... would be great. I imagined it. The two of us, headsets aglow, singing a love song- no, a sad, rock-ish song about being invisible... that would be perfect. Maybe we'll just write our own song, I thought. Maybe we'll just write it and keep it to ourselves, and we'll just sing it whenever we damn feel like it. No users will ever, ever hear it, selfish bastards.
I told Nigaito my thoughts. He giggled. In the brief space between songs on the radio, I launched off thinking again. This time I was thinking about Nigaito. What was his past like? I still had never found out who had hurt him so badly, when he'd known right when it happened that Akaito had betrayed me. If he didn't tell me who it was, how could I beat them up? My imagination wandered off into some crazy fantasy of me taking down the evil heartbreaker and Nigaito throwing his arms around me and kissing me passionately...
I jerked back to reality before things got out of hand. One of Kaito's songs began to play on the radio. It was a soft, slow piano song. Apparently this channel was reserved mostly for the less popular songs, because I could only just barely recognize the song. It was called Bittersweet Memories, right?
Nigaito began to faintly sing along, just like I'd hoped he would. I felt myself getting drowsy. I'd always had a weakness for piano songs, and the two voices softly singing were both enchanting in their own way. I yawned.
I turned over on my side. I could fall asleep right then and there. I heard the small click of Nigaito turning the radio off as the song ended.
"You're going to sleep in your clothes?" he asked. My reply was the ever-eloquent "umf." I was tired. I didn't feel like getting up.
Nigaito climbed back into bed. He pulled the blankets out from under me and pulled them back over. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him, forcing him closer.
Then I realized he wasn't wearing any clothes.
I did nothing except blush a little. He was thin without his too-big coat on, and his skin was comfortably warm. I was tempted to feel him up just to keep the sensation of his bare skin on my hands. Maybe it was just because I was tired...
That was definitely shorter than I wanted it to be. It's not my fault that Mikuo fell asleep =3=;
I actually opened up Audacity and made a Mikuo version of 20XX and a Nigaito version of Bittersweet Memories while I was writing this. =w=
Thanks to donttouchmykyoya818 and Rainfog for being my first ever reviewers~ third chapter is in the works to make up for the shortness of this one owo;;;
