Hello everyone! What do you think of the story so far? I'm dying to end the MikuxLen moments (no offense to MikuxLen fans, they can be cute but I prefer RinxLen haha) sadly, because I'm a slowwww and naggy writer, Len is probably gonna crush on Miku for a little while longer. Rawr. :(
Sooo, nothing much to say, on with the story? :)
Narrator P.O.V
"Cheer up, okay?" a little girl was standing in front a young boy who was sitting on a swing with his head hung low, tears flowing rapidly down his face. The boy sniffed and tried desperately to catch his breath but the tears that were oozing out of his eyes were uncontrollable. The young girl reached out her hand and gently ruffled the boy's hair, trying to comfort him. She opened her mouth and spoke, "I know its hard, but remember, there are many people who still love you. If you ever need someone, I'll be right beside you. I promise..."
The boy looked up at the little girl. His eyes were red and swollen from crying. There were still droplets of tears hanging off the corners of his eyes that couldn't seem to drip down. The boy choked out,"R..really?"
"Have I ever broken a promise with you?" the girl smiled at the boy.
"N..no..." the boy calmed down and rubbed the tears from his eyes.
"I'll wait here until you go back," the girl sat down on the sand with her legs crossed,"I'm not going back without you. Until you feel better, I'm not going to move a single inch from this spot!"
"Thank you..."

Gumi P.O.V
What time was it? I tossed around in my bed, squeezing my pillow and kicking my blanket. My body felt as heavy as lead, I couldn't seem to move at all. I knew I shouldn't have stayed up late last night...
Just a few more minutes...
The soft sound of the balcony door sliding open caught my attention. It let in a small breeze that blew gently on my face. It felt refreshing and cooling , but I was too lethargic to bother reacting to my surroundings. I already knew what was going to happen next, but my body couldn't budge. I continued shutting my eyes and hoped I would eventually go back to sleep.
"Gumi, wake up!" a bright voice rang in my ear. I knitted my eyebrows in frustration.
Here we go again...
"Go away, Gumiya," I mumbled softly, turning away from him. He immediately began tugging on my blanket trying to drag me out of bed. I tightened my grip on the blanket, refusing to give in.
"Piiiig, lazyyyy, stuuuuuupid, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, duuuumb, " he began to chant, getting louder and louder. I knew that he wouldn't stop until he got what he wanted.
"Okay, okay! I'm awake!" I bolted up from the bed throwing my blanket towards Gumiya who was conveniently standing right next to my bed.
"About time," he teased while grinning mischievously, "If you had slept a minute longer, you might have actually turned into a pig."
"Yeah yeah yeah..." I mumbled while rubbing my half-open eyes. I pushed myself off the bed and dragged myself to the toilet, yawning along the way.
"Cram school starts today," Gumiya spoke from the room.
"Mmhm," I replied while brushing my teeth.
"It's gonna be even more tiring than usual. You might actually turn into a pig," he continued.
"I'll cope better than the guy with low-blood pressure."
"At least I can wake myself up unlike a certain someone."
I rolled my eyes and walked out of the toilet. Gumiya was standing in front of my desk, holding up my phone and staring at the tiny carrot keychain dangling from it.
"You still keep this thing?" he commented. I quickly snatched back my phone from his hands.
"Mmhm, I like it. It was the only NICE present I received from a certain SOMEONE," I emphasised while staring at Gumiya.
"It's not my fault you don't like my gifts. I put effort into them you know," he replied cheekily.
"How is smearing cake on my face a gift?" I raised my eyebrow, "The cake was utterly destroyed."
"Thank me for the beautiful memories we created then~" he waved his hands around and looked up at the ceiling, "I'm gonna wait for you downstairs so hurry up, you idiot!" I stuck out my tongue at him just before I saw him leave the room.
I grin formed on my face. Gumiya has been my neighbour and friend for as long as I could remember. We often insulted each other and had many weird arguements, but in the end, we both knew that it was just our own unique form of 'communication'. He can make me frustrated at times but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy these moments with him. I have gotten so used to him I couldn't stay angry at him for long.
He's the most amazing friend I could ever ask for. I only hope we could stay like this...
Gumiya P.O.V
"The pancakes were really good obaa-san! Thank you for the meal. Oh, here she comes," I braced myself as I heard the heavy thudding of footsteps coming down from above. Gumiya's mum chuckled from the kitchen while washing the dishes.
"Good morning mum! AH! It's pancakes today! Time to eat!" she smiled happily and sat down in front of me. Her eyes grew wide at the sight of the steaming pancakes on her plate, and soon she began to wolf them down one by one.
"Whoa, you look like you haven't eaten for weeks!" I teased. She only looked up and returned me a quick smile before she continued to gobble down her pancakes. I rested my head on my hand and quietly watched her as she quickly consumed her food. A smile formed on my face.
"Thank you for the food. I'm leaving now, mum!" she quickly stood up and waved to her mum. The both of us left the house and began making out way to school.
"I haven't climbed into your room for a while, Gumiya" Gumi turned towards me and flashed a cunning smile, "What treasures have you accumulated in your room, I wonder?"
I got a little embarassed at her words and quickly changed the subject calmly, "Seeing how you've been eating these days, the balcony railings are gonna fall apart sustaining your weight," I cupped my hands behind my head and grinned at her. Her face started turning red with anger and I knew it was going to be another interesting morning.
The conversation continued all the way until we reached the school gates where we saw our familiar blonde friend walking towards to school.
Len P.O.V
"Yo, shota!" a familiar annoying voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw Gumi and the annoying person waving to me with smiles on their faces.
"I'm not a shota!" I gave Gumiya a cold look and replied.
"My little Lenny has reached his rebellious stage," Gumiya flicked imaginary tears from his eyes. "So did anything happen with Shion-san yesterday?" He instantly changed the topic.
"Well... nothing much really..."
"Thank you..." I recalled her smiling for the first time.
"What's with that disgusting look on your face?" Gumiya flashed a weird look.
I suddenly realised that I was unconsciously smiling, "It's nothing."
I felt a little happy knowing that she wasn't as bad a person as I had initially thought she was.
Perhaps she was never as scary as everyone thought she was...
We quickly reached the classroom where we were immediately greeted with a surprise attack from Miku in front of the door.
"Good morning~~!" she jumped in front of me and spread her arms wide as if preparing to give a hug. My face instantly turned red at her sudden appearance. My heart wasn't mentally prepared for this.
"G...good morning... Hatsune-san..." I stuttered, trying to compose myself, covering half my face with my hand. Gumi and Gumiya greeted her normally, "Good morning, Miku!"
"Hehe!" she giggled while tucking her bangs behind her ear. "Len, why don't you just call me like the others? Call me M-I-K-U!" she emphasised her name.
"Huuh?" my face burned red again. A mixture of overwhelming happiness and embarrassment filled my heart. Miku actually personally requested for me to call her by her first name! Gumi and Gumiya had silently returned to their seats leaving me alone on the battlefield. Miku's eyes were shining brightly and staring straight at me, awaiting my response.
"M...Mi..." I tried saying her name.
"Hey," a soft voice emitted from behind, interrupting me. I spun around and saw Shion standing right behind me, her eyes staring at me emotionless. "You're blocking..."
"Ah! Sorry!" I quickly moved aside and let her pass. She silently walked towards the door and slid it open.
"Um, Shion!" I stopped her. She looked back at me, her expression completely emotionless.
"Good morning," I smiled at her, trying to be as friendly as possible. I wanted to be nicer to her seeing how lonely she usually was in class. I couldn't tell if it was out of sympathy or curiosity, but I wanted to know more about her
She was always so quiet and never seemed to interact with anyone. She had a gloomy aura around her and was a very mysterious person. After seeing what happened yesterday, I realised that Shion was just another ordinary girl who was just a little quieter than average people.
"Good... morning..." she mumbled softly while bowing slightly. She then walked into the classroom, shutting the door behind her. I watched her walk into the class, to her seat. I turned my head back to Miku who was still standing at the same spot anticipating something from me. For a second there, I thought I saw a troubled expression on her face...
"Sorry, what were we talking about?" I scratched my head nervously.
"Ah, right, you were trying to call my name!" Miku smiled sweetly leaning forward with her hands behind her back.
Before I could react, the school bell rang loudly in my ears. School was starting and people along the corridors began speed-walking back to class afraid of being late.
"Let's go inside," I blushed, while walking into the class ahead of her. Miku responded with a smile and followed behind me.
Miku P.O.V.
What was that smile?
Len doesn't smile like that with me...
Why Shion...? Does he...
No, it can't be. Len clearly has a crush on me. I never get to see him like that because he's always so nervous around me! Not only that, the timings are always so bad!
But it looks like... Len has gained an interest in Shion-san... I need to be careful...
So, what do you think? :)
I'm not sure if it was obvious but I'm making Miku a dark character. This chapter was focused mainly on Gumi and Gumiya in the beginning obviously that means something haha :D
I hope it wasn't too boring a chapter! Ofcourse more things are gonna happen later :) I hope you enjoyed reading this!
