I said I was going to update on Monday. It's Fridays. Gah! I feel like I've betrayed the people who read this like how Zoey in House of Night got betrayed by Neferet (Only not as hardcore!).But I'm glad to be updating now and I'll be working on this fic more this weekend until it'll be finished! But I'm back and I'll try my best to update more this weekend!
"I see. You should've told me before! You've held this in for four days?" Miku asked as she looked down at Luka with wide, teal eyes and her mouth was open a little as she looked at the pink haired girl, who's head was in Miku's lap.
"Yeah. It's been. . weighing on me really bad even though I was the one to suggest that we forget all about it." Luka sighed out as Miku began to move her fingers through Luka's hair softly and she closed her eyes softly at how the action soothed her.
"I'm sorry Luka. I feel like you really do like Gumi, but you're just to stubborn to ackowledge it." Miku sighed out much like Luka had which was uncharacteristic like for her and Luka opened her eyes looking at Miku. "it's something I've been feeling for a long time Luka, with the way you would look at Gumi, how the two of you seemed to grow even closer over the months and you both seemed almost blushy, shy like people who had a crush on each other so I kinda pieced together the pieces. That's why I was worried about you and Gumi leaving us behind, me and Rin, because I feared you'd only need each other and not us anymore."
"That's not true. I'm always going to need you and Rin so much, I love you both like sisters. So how could I ever forget about you guys or leave you behind?" Luka said as she sat up, her hair slightly messy and she smiled soft at Miku who smiled back at her then a shadow of seriousness fell across her face gently.
"I'm glad but we need to focus on you and Gumi right now. Tell me Luka, how do you really feel about her?"
"I. . guess I love her a lot, she's the closest friend, besides you and Rin, that I have."
"You sure? I mean other than sleeping with her four days ago, did you ever get heart skips? Found yourself thinking about her? Captivated by her? Feel a sense of longing to be around her all the time?"
"I. . . I-uh. . I. . "
"You did didn't you? You felt attracted to Gumi but then again you're always stubborn when it comes to liking someone so I doubt you even knew you had a crush on her to begin with. Plus there's you worrying about liking a girl and being gay."
"I'm worried about liking her, yeah that's true, but I can't DO anything about it!"
"You can Luka. You really can, you need to push yourself and show that you can be there for her always whenever she needs you and that she can rely on you more. You need to show her how much you care, how much you love her."
"And if it's too late?"
"It won't be trust me. We both know Gmi well enough to know she could be waiting for you to say something." Miku said with an encouraging look in her eye and Luka climbed off teh bed and walked to the door and Miku pumped her fists up in the hair. "Go girl! I'll be cheering you on!"
"Thanks Miku. You know exactly what to say when I need to hear it." Luka chuckled as she said it and Miku grinned happily as she walked out of the room shutting it softly behind and she turned running downstairs and she flicked her hair over her shoulder.
It was very true, she did like Gumi a whole lot. But why did it feel like now she was finally being clued in to something that she had been so blind to for years on end and now she was finally in on it. She rushed through the entire downstairs area, moving through the kitchen, the dining room, the living room, the back porch, the front porch, down to the basement, the den, the many other rooms within the house and by the time Luka got to the stairs she blew out a soft breath trying to catch her breath while her heart pumped hard against her chest. Where the hell could Gumi be? She rushed up the stairs hoping to find Gumi up there and she walked down the hall quickly.
Her hair flew off her shoulders as determination lit her every step and she finally reached the door leading ot her room and she threw it open, Gumi's name on her lips when she froze. Her eyes were wide, her smile that she'd placed on her lips in case she saw Gumi froze in place before her pupils shrunk to that of a pen light almost when it shined a small beam of light, her smile slowly fading and her heart cracked.
She stood up straight, her eyes wide as she felt tears burning and welling up in her eyes. For as long as she lived she swore she wouldn't forget the scene in front of her. Gumi was laid out on her side of the bed over IA, the two of them in a fierce lip lock but Gumi's head snapped up the moment the door opened and Gumi's big green eyes seemed to darken and sadness welled in them.
"I-I-I'm so sorry!" Luka gasped out then she turned running down the hall, her arms pumping at her side as tears slid down her cheeks. Why did she feel hurt?
"Luka! Luka wait!" Gumi shouted after but Luka surprisingly didn't hear footsteps chasing her and she felt her heart just crack right down the middle and before she knew it another door poened and Yukari seemed to come out of nowhere, standing in a doorway that said "IA and Yuzuki baby!" looking at Luka with wide, sincere looking purple eyes.
"Luka are you okay?" She asked with wide eyes still but Luka just looked at her as tears made scalding hot paths down her cheeks and she rubbed her cheeks and cleared her voice lightly a bit.
"I'm . . fine. I guess I'm fine. I think." Luka babbled slightly then slapped herself mentally as her tears welled up again and she cursed under her breath and rubbed at her eyes hard.
"Come in Luka. We can if you want unless you'd rather talk to Miku or Rin." Yukari said softly, her purple eyes searing into Luka in a way she was accustomed to whenever the violet haired Vocaloid looked at her.
"I'll. . I'll come in." Luka murmured then walked towards Yukari and the girl held the door open wider and Luka walked in feeling her heart beating against her chest with a melancholy and broken edge to it.
"Ah I see what happen." Yukari said as soon as Luka finished talking, the hour seeming to go by faster and Luka couldn't believe she could talk so much.
"Yeah it's. . . " Luka couldn't think of a word to say, not then when her chest was throbbing and Yukari smiled soft.
"It's crazy. IA never expressed any interest in any other girls, other than myself obviously, but I could only imagine Gumi kissed IA first. Not pointing fingers, but I'm going to talk to her trust me on that. In the mean time well, would you like to stay here with me?" Yukari smiled softer, her purple eyes bright yet warm with welcome that Luka found herself happy about.
"I. . would like that." Luka surprised her self when she said the words and Yukari smiled then stood up.
"Then I'll go get your stuff. You don't mind if IA stays here to though, do you? If you do then I'll make her stay with Gumi." Yukari said as she placed her hands on her hips softly and looked at Luka with a tilt of her head, her hood lopping lightly against her head and Luka smiled gently.
"No I don't mind it. I know IA probably didn't mean to get into this so it's fine." Luka said cursing herself for babbling like this but Yukari just nodded her head smiling at her gently.
"Alright, let me go get your stuff. You can stay with us until you're ready to go back to Gumi's room, if not then you can go with Miku and Rin right?" Yukari asked with a tilt of her head again and Luka smiled gently nodding. "Great! I'll go let the two of them know after I get your clothes okay?"
"Okay." Luka nodded gently smiling softly and she sat back against the bed as Yukari left and she placed with a small hole in her jeans.
Why did she feel so hurt? She hated feeling hurt, but then again it made very much sense as to why she should. She liked Gumi and seeing Gumi making out with another girl had hurt her. She sighed letting her head fall back softly and she closed her eyes gently, her tears pressing against her eyes softly stretching out her legs. She really really likes Gumi, why she couldn't understand that before she didn't know, after all throughout there entire friendship Luka always appreciated how Gumi looked, admired her beauty and itched to be near her but she just chalked it up to being close friends with her.
She sighed opening her eyes just a little bit staring up at the ceiling wondering how things could change so damn fast and so suddenly, it was insane. She sighed gently again and stretched unil her body trembled softly and she then relaxed as she looked up still then her vision got wavy, the colors blurred and she jolted with surprise as tears slipped down her cheeks only to drip off her chin. She then scowled and rubbed her eyes hard. It wasn't fair that she could cry when she didn't want to but then suddenly start to cry when she felt like she was fine.
It was horrible but just as she sniffled the door was being slammed open and two pairs of arms were grabbing at her and hugging her tight. The blonde colored hair and teal colored hair fell into her line of sight and she then smiled soft as her surprise melted away and she wrapped her arms around the owners of said arms.
Miku and Rin. Of course they would come to her quick as can be but then she felt a pang that Gumi was being left out but she smelled faint flowers wafting off the both of them and her heart clenched but she felt relieved they talked to Gumi too and she allowed them to pull back and they smiled at her rather sad like.
"Luka I'm so sorry! You'll be okay, it's what happened with me and Kaito once before, before we started dating!"
"I went through it with Gakupo-sorry bout that- but it'll all be okay!"
Luka couldn't stop her chuckle as Miku and Rin spoke at the same time, their hands patted and stroking her hair, her cheeks or patting her hands softly as they held them tightly and she squeezed their hands. They were honestly the best friends anyone could have even if they fought sometimes but she was honestly happy they were even there. She sat up on the bed when Yukari came back with her duffel bag, her clothes peek out of the zipper and an apologetic looking IA trailing after her and when their eyes met, dark blue against blue and IA's eyes filled with an apology.
"I. . . can't express how stupid that was of me Luka. I'm so so sorry about what happened. I know we aren't close friends, just barely friends, but I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me.' IA blurted out like she couldn't keep it in anymore and Luka smiled soft standing up and she surprised them all by throwing her arms around IA.
"It's fine. I'm kinda mad about it but it's fine." Luka murmured gently and IA hugged her back tight when suddenly Luka could see them, her, Miku, Rin and Gumi, being friends with IA and Yukari. All six of them ahving the best time and laughing together, it was so sudden that Luka smiled gently. They pulled apart when Luka looked at Miku and Rin who stood up from the bed, a matching determination shining in Miku's teal colored eyes and Rin's bright blue ones as they stared at her.
"We're going to sleep in here tonight! We're not leaving you alone tonight Luka, we'll be here until all of you get tired of us!" Rin said, determination burning hot in her voice, her blue eyes burning feriously and she looked at Luka intently.
"Yeah! We'll be glued to your side from here on out Luka, no matter what! We'll be supporting you until you make up your mind about Gumi!" Miku added just as fiercely and Luka laughed out happily then turned looking at a lightly smiling Yukari and IA smiling a little bit herself and Luka smiled softly looking at them all together.
"That's fine. We should get some stuff if we're all gonna stay in here tonight you know. How aout we go and find a movie, then we can settle in for the night." Luka said finally surprising all four of them at them at once but then they all broke into grins.
"I'll go and get the snacks!" Rin cheered and dashed to the door with IA following her and they shared a wide grin giggling softly.
"Me and Yukari will go and choose a movie!" Miku repeated in the same cheering tone and the purple hair smiled softly then they both disappeared together leaving Luka behind.
"And I'll set the tv up." Luka said softly to herself smiling a little bit and she turned to the tv picking up a remote making her smile softly and she brushed her hair behind her ears then began to set up the tv beginning to feel the first spark of happiness.
