A/N: I have so many friendly and funny reviewers! I love you guys all (^.^) And, since iDontCare-san was a bit confused about Len saying he lived in the same building, I'll explain: Miku lives in an apartment building. It's like a building with a bunch of rooms and in each room there's a different person living there. Yup.

"O-oh... really?" Miku said.

"Y-yeah..." He said.

How many years have I lived here? 5? 6? 7? Len thought. And I've never seen Miku once! He thought.

"So I guess I get to walk you all the way in." Len said with a laugh. This is kinda awkward, he thought.

"Y-yeah.. I guess..." Miku replied. Is she annoyed? Maybe I shouldn't have said that! Len thought.

And so, the two walked into the building together.


"Haha... this is really strange isn't it..." Len said, as the two rode in the elevator. They lived on the same floor, too.

"Y-yeah..." Miku agreed. This is really weird, Miku thought. The two walked out of the elevator and headed the same direction again. Miku stopped at her door, and thankfully, Len continued walking - except he stopped at the door right next to hers. "T-this is..." Miku began.

"I-interesting..." Len said.


15 years I've lived here, Miku thought. This is unbelievable.

"W-well... uh... b-bye, I guess." Len stammered. Miku nodded quickly, and was about to go into the safety of her home when...

"Miku! You sure took your time. Tutoring with that cute guy on your computer, how lucky!" Mikuo said, opening the door. Kill me now, Miku thought. Mikuo, not understanding the lack of reply from Miku, turned to his left. Then he saw Len. "O-oh..." He said. Miku facepalmed in her head.

"E-er... bye, then." Miku said quickly, and dragged Mikuo back inside by the hair and shut the door.


"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Miku demanded immediately after the door was closed. Mikuo shrugged.

"How was I supposed to know he was with you?" He asked.

"I don't know! How'd you know I was outside anyway?" Miku asked.

"...a feeling." Mikuo replied.

"NO, YOU HEARD ME AND LEN TALKING! You embarrassed me on purpose!" Miku said. Mikuo stuck out his tongue.

"You've got no proof." Mikuo said teasingly, and went back to his room, leaving Miku fuming.


I'm guessing that guy was her brother, Len thought, hopping into his bed. He stared at the ceiling. To think, Miku is right next to this room... He hugged his pillow. What was it her brother said? 'tutoring with that cute guy on your computer' was it? Does that mean... Miku has photos of me on her computer? For some strange reason, Len felt his heart beat faster at the thought of it.


~2 days later (Sunday)~

"Miku, go grocery shopping for me." Mikuo said.

"Why?"

"We need food that's why!"

"Okay, okay." Miku sighed and put on her jacket. "See ya in a bit."

She walked out the door and saw the landlady - a short, fat lady - talking with Len outside.

"You're 2 months behind on the rent!" The landlady said.

"I know! My parents will be home soon to pay for it, they're on a really long business trip-" Len insisted.

"That's what you said last time!" The landlady growled.

What am I doing? I shouldn't be eavesdropping, Miku thought.

"But really, it's true!" Len said.

"Move out." The landlady said.

"B-but-"

"I was nice enough to let it slide last month, but this is the last straw. Move out." She repeated.

"I have no place to stay then!" Len said.

"Not my problem." The landlady growled, and walked away.

How mean, Miku thought. Len scratched his hair with both hands in frustration.

"Argh!" He shouted, still not knowing Miku was there.

"U-uh..." Miku said. Len looked at her, shocked.

"Wait... did you hear..." He stammered.

"Y-yeah... uh... um..." Miku began. I know I want to say something, but what? She thought.

Mikuo to the rescue.

"You're more than welcome to stay at our place!" He said, opening the door.

"W-where did you come from?" Miku and Len said at the same time.

"That doesn't matter. C'mon, you can stay with Miku and I until you can pay rent."

A/N: Just thought I'd clear up a bit of confusion: My gender is male. Yeah... My avatar and username... Uh... There's no real explanation why it looks like I'm female... I think I was just like: Hm, I think I'll use a female avatar and username! Yup.
