Here's the next bit. Enjoy.
December 11-Reconciliation
Miku sighs. Yuki had volunteered to help in a cafe, which left her alone. What better time to go find Haku than now?
"Miku? You're here?" Haku was surprised. She didn't expect her at all, let alone finding the address.
"I wanted to talk to you like old times."
"Sure… Come in," Haku moves from the door, "What is it that you wanted to talk about?"
Miku was silent. She hopes not to fight with her friend for one boy, "Yuki."
Haku flushed red instantaneously. Not good. If it's about Yuki, then thin ice is what they're treading on, "W-What about him?
"What do you think of him?" Wrong question, even if it was the only one to mind.
"He's perfect. Anyone would fall for him. I fell for him when I first met him," Haku couldn't control the words from her mouth. Since when was the flat-out truth good in this situation?
"I see, so Luka and the twins were right."
"L-Luka told you?"
"Hai. Did she tell you anything?"
"Just something about us and Yuki getting along."
"Exactly."
Both girls yelp at Luka standing at the open door. She had planned this perfectly, even laughing at Miku and Haku's scared faces, "There may be fourteen days left, but that's a relatively short time. You girls want to be with Yuki, and not lose the friendship between you girls, correct?"
"That's a big problem. A rivalry will start."
"Why do we girls always have this kind of problem?" Luka mutters and sighs, "Listen to me carefully, then. Haku had said I formed a plan. I've seen the way he's looked at you two, and there was desire for both of you. Today is really simple, both of you hang out today like before and accept each other more than you have in the past. You girls are the only ones who can determine when you're ready for the next step."
Yuki takes a deep breath. Everyone wanted to be served by him, for he was the waiter of a small cafe. Would there be any breaks for him at all? Two girls had called for him, and he answers like he was a butler, "Is there anything of need, miladies?"
"You don't know us?" The girl in light blue spoke. The blonde girl had looked through the menu.
"I don't believe I do. Would you please enlighten me?"
"I'm Aoki Lapis, and she's Vocaloid IA, AKA Aria on the Planetes. Most people call her Aria, though."
"I see now," Yuki didn't recognize them until the names clicked in his memory as sister Vocaloids, "Nice to meet you, Aoki-nee, Aria-nee."
"So charming," Aria replied, "Is it possible for you to take a stroll with us?"
"I'd like to, but I can't leave right now. Some other time, 'kay?" Yuki then hears someone call for him.
"Someone's here to talk with you!"
"Hai! I'm coming! See you later."
Yuki had came and found a bit of surprise to Kaito at the back entrance. The dark blue Vocaloid smiled, "How's work?"
"It's crazy out there. Some people must have heard I was working here and spread the word."
"Sounds busy. Here," Kaito had held out two star-shaped glass pieces. The Wayfinders from Kingdom Hearts, one green, one orange-brown color. Yuki was wide-eyed.
"Wayfinders? You bought these?"
"Not exactly. A guy had extras and he was giving them out to people. And two of them came at me. I thought you might have a better use for them."
"Arigato gozaimasu!" Yuki gladly takes the stained glass charms. He immediately thought of Miku and Haku, maybe they would like these.
"How's it with Miku?"
"Steadily rising. I think Haku has the same idea. There might be a problem, I don't know."
"Ever thought of a love triangle?"
Yuki hadn't heard something like that, "Love triangle?"
"It's when two people have a similar relationship with the third person. In other words, Miku likes you and so does Haku, if that's correct."
"Oh yeah." Yuki chuckles.
"Nani?"
"Haku flushed red and flustered when I mentioned the word 'love' when I had said it was fun being around them. I failed to realize that she started to have interest before now."
"Ah, I see. Well, I gotta get going. Have fun with your love life."
Yuki had a thought. A love triangle, eh? Miku and Haku did say that they were friends with each other, and they both like him. Yuki wants to see if the Wayfinders have a mysterious power of keeping that friendship together. Luka's plan had become his goal, to bring all three of them together. Yuki goes back to the front of the house and finds Miku and Haku exhausted at a nearby table. How long were they out for? What did they do? Did they compete? Yuki stops for a moment, realizing his thoughts are overprotective. It was six P.M., three hours since he left. Concern still ran through his head.
"What exactly did you two do, breathing heavily like this? You're really worn out…"
"We set aside…everything…and enjoyed our touch…with youth," Miku speaks with difficulty, "We went almost everywhere, strengthening our friendship."
"Jeez. Go to the ladies' room and try to freshen up. The only thing you girls are displaying is looking like a hot mess."
"Good idea."
Yuki shakes his head, but smiles. A stronger bond is what he wants from both of them. That means one step closer, "What would they do without me? And I without them," He continues the Dreams of an Absolution.
In the nightlight, do you still your pain?
For the valor you waited, it never came.
If you were able, would you go change the past,
To mend a faux pas with one last chance?
And I might know of our future,
But then you still control the past.
Only you know if you'll be together tonight.
Yuki smiles as they come back, "You two are lucky. I was about to leave."
"Yuki, baka. You tease!" Miku taps his head.
"Actually, I wouldn't leave without giving you guys something first."
Haku blushed, "You have…something for us? How… How sweet."
"I was given these," Yuki turns to Haku and places an orange-brownish star charm in her hand, and Miku the green charm, "and was told I could find a use for these. I have found a use for them. For both of you."
Miku smiles and speaks softly, near speechless, "Demo, what of you?"
"I don't necessarily need one just yet. Even if it wasn't long, I just want you girls to have these and accept them as a token of gratitude, for being there for me. I also want these to serve as a reminder of the friendship you share with each other."
Haku and Miku look at their Wayfinders, "Yuki…"
"Promise me you two will never separate from each other. I like it when it's all three of us together." Yuki's words had made them smile to each other.
"We promise, for you."
So, yeah. Even if I think I did well, I'm having a hard time for the next segment. Expect one dec.14 at most.
