New Message, Part 2
"…Kono omoi ga kusuburu kagiri wa itsu made mo tomodachi sa." I had just finished recording a song called "Answer", and my voice was tired. I got ready for bed and settled down for the night. And last but not least, I put my phone down on the nightstand like I do every night. (My best friend Hatsune Miku is a night owl and sometimes likes to text me in the middle of the night. I don't mind though; it's kind of our thing.) So I could hear any texts that I got, I put my phone on my loud ringtone of "Luka Luka Night Fever."
Dame dame yo!
"Usually she wouldn't text me until later," I mumbled to myself, almost asleep. I expected to see Miku's picture there, but instead I was surprised to see a doofus in an eggplant costume- Gakupo? (It's the only picture I had, alright?!)
Reluctantly, I opened the text. Probably a pickup line he stayed up two hours to think of.
"Luka... can I talk to you? Like, sincerely talk to you?"
I was amazed. Gakupo didn't seem like the sincere type at all. Eager for a response, I replied, "What is it?"
"I love you."
For Gakupo to come right out and say it like that... to see those words right in front of me... it made my heart skip. But then I remembered that eggplant-obsessed buffoon's real point in saying that- it was probably only because of my looks. (Not bragging, it's just what everyone says!)
"You're just saying that because I'm pretty."
A couple of minutes passed. I was wondering if he had given up. This was getting interesting. Finally, my hope was restored.
"Not JUST that. I also LOVE your voice. I listen to it on repeat every day!"
I smiled. He'd mentioned that before. MANY times.
"But... I wish you would just give me a chance. I want to have a concert with you. Singing with you would be my pleasure. Please... can we do one concert together?"
Wow. A concert with Gakupo? I didn't know how to respond. I just needed some advice- and some sleep.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow... right now I need sleep. Good night."
I started texting Miku like mad.
