Oh my gosh! I didn't expect this to get the encouragement it did. I love you guys, seriously. :)

Enjoy!

There's something you should know about angels: they are a lot more like humans than you might realize.

For example, certain angels are prone to profanity (as long as they do not take The Lord's name in vain, of course). They partake in sports much like humans do, they chat and sleep and dream...just like humans.

However, since angels are so much like humans, that also means that angels are also prone to heartbreak, grief and fear.

And the one major thing that angels and humans have in common is this: accidents happen.

In this case, it was an accident made by a heartbroken angel. That little accident changed everything...and that's how this story begins.

When Kagamine Rin opened her eyes to see a gradually purpling sky, she knew something was amiss.

Looking around, she saw that she was in a small village, sitting on a cobblestone path. The sun was setting...or was it rising? Rin couldn't tell, because in Heaven the sun always shone on their faces.

Wait.

If the sun is setting (rising?) here...does that mean she's not in Heaven...but on Earth?

"How in Heaven did this happen?" Rin shouted, getting up. Her wings twitched as she grimaced in pain, falling back down. She gently touched her left ankle, which was swelling and red. She groaned.

I must have broken it when I fell... she thought. How did I fall anyway? Well, that's not really important: Kaito will...

Oh.

Kaito. The one who broke her heart. Rin didn't know the other angel's name...she didn't have to. Kaito didn't love her...Rin was just the friend.

She ran from his cloud after that...she tripped on something and fell down and down and down...

"And this happened," Rin finished bitterly, tears welling in her eyes. This just wasn't her day. How could things possibly get worse?

"Oh my gosh! Are you alright?"

Rin mentally cursed as she heard the gentle tip-tap of footsteps. As the noise grew into a short crescendo, Rin panicked: how was she going to explain this?

"It's nothing," she said as she saw the figure stop in front of her. "I just broke my ankle, that's..."

The words died in the angel's mouth when she looked up at the black-clad mortal.

The mortal was a young human female, who could be no more than nineteen. She had green hair that was gathered into a bun, a black dress, and black gloves that seemed to stretch all over her arms. But none of that mattered to the angel: Rin was more focused on the girl's sparkling emerald eyes...and the soul that she could see through those eyes.

They were so beautiful...

"Uh..." Rin managed. The girl blinked in confusion.

"Um," she said. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is my face smudged?"

Rin shook her head vigorously. "No, it's not that! It's just...I've never seen hair of that color!" she blurted, mentally smacking herself for that remark. The girl smiled.

"Oh, that's a relief. People tell me all the time that my hair color can't be natural, but it is. I've had this hair color since I was a baby. My mother thinks that I was blessed by the angels with this hair," she said, toying with a strand of her green hair.

Blessed indeed, Rin thought as she noticed how green it was...the greenest shade she never imagined. The girl smiled, holding out her hand.

"Come on," she said gently. "It's getting dark, so why don't I help you over to my place? I'll look at your ankle, if you want."

Rin stared at the outstretched hand for a minute. This beautiful girl was offering to help her?

Wait, did Rin just call her beautiful...?

Stop it, Rin! she scolded herself. What's wrong with you today? First you see Kaito doing...and then you fall from heaven, and now you're...you're...

The girl blinked, saying, "Are you alright? You seem to be rather out of it..."

"Uh, yeah! I'm okay! Kinda. Sorta," Rin replied, immediately grabbing the girl's outstretched hand. The angel gasped slightly as her hand seemed to fit the mortal's perfectly. It's so warm...

"..iku," she heard the girl say as they started on their way (with Rin leaning on a nearby wall with her other hand and hopping). Rin blinked.

"Come again?" she asked, causing the girl to smile (in amusement? In annoyance?).

"You space out a lot, don't you?" she asked. Rin blushed at this. Truthfully, she's never spaced out like this before. What was wrong with her?

"Now listen. My name is Hatsune Miku," the green haired girl said patiently. "And what's your name, if I may ask?"

"...Rin. Kagamine Rin."

"...I see. You're an angel and you've fallen from Heaven. That would explain the wings."

Rin blinked in surprise at how calm Miku was. Now they were at Miku's house (which was actually a bed-and-breakfast that Miku owned), and the green-haired mortal proceed to wrap Rin's ankle as the angel explained her story.

"You're not acting..." she said, waving her arms around as she tried to look for the word.

"Acting...?" Miku asked patiently. "Are you always this articulate?"

"Well," Rin said, scratching the back of her head. "In most cases I've heard of this happening, the human that finds the angel prays double-time or asks about what Heaven's really like."

"I don't think I should pester you too much. You're injured, after all," Miku replied, finishing the wrapping of Rin's ankle. "That should do it. Try not to put too much pressure on it until it heals. I'd give you a week, but since you're an angel you should be up and flying in two or three days."

"Thank you, Hatsune-san," Rin said, smiling. "I mean it. For this and for calmly accepting my story. I was actually dreading telling you the truth."

"Hatsune-san? You're making me feel like an old lady! Just call me Miku, please. And if you were dreading it so much, then why did you tell me?"

Rin had no answer. The words died in her mouth as she looked into those emerald eyes again.

Miku blushed, saying, "I'm sorry. It wasn't my business. Anyway, I'll show you to your room!"

Rin's heart nearly stopped at this. Room? "You don't have to do that!" she exclaimed, getting up.

"I want to," Miku said, resolve in her eyes. "Angel or not, you're hurt, and I can't leave you out there, can I? And besides..."

Miku didn't finish her sentence, but the sadness seeping into her eyes told Rin everything: I need a friend...someone to talk to.

Rin sighed, saying, "Alright. Show me to my room."

As Miku led Rin through a rather dreary hallway, Rin reflected on the word friend. It seemed that was all she'd ever be...to Kaito, and now to Miku.

It shouldn't be that hard being Miku's friend, though, Rin thought as she was led into a dimly lit room. After all, we're both girls. Girls can't be together like that.

As Miku turned the lights on, Rin could see that there was a bed with black and white sheets sitting next to the window. As Rin looked out the window, she saw a view of the purple sky getting darker as nighttime crept around. The stars and the moon shone brightly above the small town.

"You get a good view of the sunrise in this room," Miku said, smiling as Rin looked out the window in awe. "I hope you enjoy. A lot of the customers who get this room always do."

"Thanks a lot," Rin said, still focused on the view from the window.

"You must be tired, so I'll let you rest for now," Miku said, about to leave. "Tomorrow morning we can chat, okay? Good night!"

"Miku?" Rin said, facing the black-clad mortal. "I think this is going to be a beautiful friendship."

Miku gasped as Rin said this. Almost instantly she ran up to Rin and hugged the angel. Rin froze, not knowing what to do. Eventually her arms wrapped around Miku's, pulling her into a hug.

"Thank you so much!" Miku exclaimed into the hug. "I've been praying so hard for a friend! I mean...since Gakupo showed up, I've been so stressed, and I've never had anyone to talk about it!"

Rin blinked, absorbing the situation (and trying to ignore the warm butterflies fluttering in her stomach). This Gakupo is obviously courting her...Who could blame him? Miku was cute, beautiful...

There you go again, Rin, she thought to herself. Just say something, darn it!

"Uh...No problem," the blonde angel said. As the two broke the hug, Miku grinned at Rin.

"Honestly, your being here is like my prayer's being answered! Thank you so much! I'll let you rest now! Good night!" she exclaimed. As she closed the door, Rin simply stared at it. She smiled.

"Good night...Miku."

Miku slept pleasantly that night.

But she had this strange dream...someone she knew was in it. She didn't know who...all she remembered was the sensation of someone's hands grasping hers and seeing a loving smile. This person smiled at her so lovingly that when she woke up from the dream, she saw tear tracks on her cheeks the next morning.

Who was the person in her dream?

Was it Gakupo, or someone else...?

Rin, however, couldn't sleep at all that night.

Every time she tried to, she'd have these unsettling dreams...all of them about Miku. Sometimes loving, sometimes sensual, most of the time a mix of both. She never had these dreams with Kaito. With these dreams, waking up the next morning sweaty and filled with so much longing.

As Rin watched the sun rise, she realized it was going to be very, very hard to just be Hatsune Miku's friend.

I wrote a majority of this while I was sleepy. So point out any mistakes and I shall fix them ASAHP (as soon as humanly possible).

I was listening to White Vow when I was writing this, so that would explain the Miku bit at the end. *shrug*
