Miku's Room

I lay down on my bed. My hair was in a total mess.

What was I to Len?

I was nothing more than a friend…

Slowly, I closed my eyes and cried and waited.

I waited for a hand that would never even touch me.

Len, Rin, and I slowly walked to school. Len was acting like nothing happened.

We dropped Yuki off and continued walking.

"So… What did you two do yesterday?" asked Rin

"None of your business Rin" said Len

"We really didn't do much"

"EHHHHH! No kissing or anything?"

I started to get red

"NO! WHY WOULD WE?"

"It's just that you two seem to get along so well."

"W-we do?"

Len puts and arm around me

"Sure we do!"

The school came into sight.

Rin saw Kaito and ran off to greet him

"How long?"

"Excuse me?" I asked

"I think Rin likes Kaito. When do you think they're going to go out?"

I looked at Rin who was now laughing

"I would say a week"

Len just laughs

We walk towards class. All the girls were waving at Len. They would kill me to take my place.

Other people were staring at Len. Even the female teachers! Who wouldn't stare at Len? He was the perfect guy.

Just then, Luka came and greeted us.

"Hey Miku! Hey Len…"

"Hey Luka" I said

"Good morning Luka" Len gave with a smile

Why is he acting so friendly? I guess that's his nature….

Luka looked down and pressed her index fingers together.

"Ummm... Len… Could I say something to you after school?"

"Sure. Why?"

"It's kind of a secret. Meet me at the back of the school. Kay?"

"Sure"

Luka ran off as fast as she could to her class

"Wonder what that's was all about" said Len

The bell rang

"Let's get to class or Meiko sensei is going to yell at us."

I grabbed Len's arm and pulled him to class.

Class

I was wondering about what Luka was going to ask Len afterschool.

I barely heard what we were learning about.

"Hatsune Miku!" yelled Meiko sensei"

"Yes?" I replied.

"This is the third time I called you. Please stop fantasizing about your love"

How did she know? She must be an esper!

"Sorry about that sensei."

Meiko just sighs

"Please tell us the answer to the question on the board."

"What was the question again?"

I heard a few kids snicker

"Why is the slope of a perpendicular line-1/2 if the slope of a line that crosses it is 2?"

"I don't know"

"And why not?"

"I-I wasn't paying attention"

"Detention until the end of the week."

Len stood up from his seat

"Umm, I don't think Miku should get a detention. After all, this is her first time like this"

Len…

Meiko looked at Len. He was her favorite student… How could she say no?

"All right. Hatsune, you're off the hook just this once!"

"Thank you!"

I looked over at Len who gave me a wink.

I quickly hid my face in the textbook.

My face was red as an apple.

After school, I secretly followed Len to the back of the building.

This must be the perfect set up for a confession…

I saw Len and Luka talking

"So umm Len… How was your day?"

"It wasn't bad. What about yours?"

"It was good"

There was an awkward silence.

Some bushes gave excellent cover so I couldn't be seen.

"Why did you ask me out here?"

"I-I just wanted to say something to you"

"And?"

"I-I L-love you."

Len looked at her in surprise.

He heart wanted to burst. Tears started welling up in my eyes.

Luka and I waited for his answer

"Sorry Luka… I can't return your feelings"

Luka looked at him in shock

"Why? Is it because I'm not pretty? I can change!"

Luka grabbed onto his shirt. Tears dripping from her face.

"It's not that… It's just…"

"Just what?"

"I have someone else I like"

"Who is it? What does she have that I don't?"

"It's… Miku…"

I gasped from the bushes

So he does like me!

Luka was stunned and took a few steps back

"I can be like her Len! I'll do whatever you want!"

"Sorry Luka. I think there's someone else out there for you."

Luka ran away. Tears dripping from her face.

I was happy… but I was also sad. Because of me… my friend didn't get loved by the one she wanted.

A few minutes later, I walked up to Len who was just standing there.

"Hey Len, I saw Luka crying. What's up with that?"

"She confessed and got rejected"

"I see…"

"Why did you reject her?"

"I had someone else on my mind"

Len looked at me.

That's it! This should be a good time to confess! I'm going to give it my all!

I looked up at Len

"Len… For a long time… I…. I… Liked…"

Len put a finger on my lips.

I quickly became quiet

"Miku. I have to say something."

I nodded my head

"I love you. I have loved you for a long time."

Tears came out of my eyes.

"M-Miku! Why are you crying? Are you sad?"

I shake my head

"No… It's not that. It's just that I'm really happy"

Len wiped away my tears.

The warm hand that kept me warm for so long.

Len lifts my chin up.

"Len? What are you doing?"

"Showing my love"

He slowly kisses me.

It was wonderful.

His soft lips on mine.

I started to blush

"Can we do it one more time?" I asked

"Don't get addicted Miku" he teased

"Too late"

I put my arms around his neck and kissed him. I felt his arms on my back. We were lovers. And we couldn't be separated.
