Title: A String of Misfortunes
Summary: Stood up on dates again and again, Megurine Luka is not particularly lucky when it comes to love. Well, lucky for her, her best friend Hatsune Miku is always there when she needs her!
Megurine Luka was for the most part an average sixteen-year-old girl. Well, aesthetically, many would have begged to differ. While she had been awkward and shy as a child, she had matured into a lovely young woman, with arresting blue eyes, lustrous pink hair that cascaded down to her waist, and a figure that many of her peers would have killed for (and would have been extremely pissed off to learn that she could eat whatever she wanted and still keep). But it was what was on the inside that counted, and on the inside, she was still quite a bit of that shy girl that could never quite say what she wanted to say.
But this is all beside the point. The point was, whether she knew it or not, there were quite a few people who had their eyes on her. Not that she noticed, for two reasons. The first was that Luka often was too absorbed in her studies to really pay much attention to these sorts of things (and often felt compelled to study even more thoroughly because many of her friends would ask for help on their homework). The second, and far bigger one, was that, when romantic affections were concerned, Megurine Luka was about as dense as they came, so unless her admirers came straight out and asked her to go on a date with them, she would never figure out that they were interested.
Eventually, her admirers caught on to this trait of hers, and the first of them, an upperclassman named Kamui Gakupo who somehow managed to be dashingly handsome even though his appearance did lean towards the feminine side, dared to do what no other had done before: he asked her out.
"Please go out with me, Megurine-san."
Luka blinked. "Eh? But... we're already outside, Kamui-senpai..." she remarked innocently, glancing around at the trees behind the gym that he had asked her to meet him at.
Yes. She was just that dense.
Gakupo shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant. I meant 'please go out with me' like on a date."
The pinkette merely stared at him in astonishment. "Er... I..." She blushed, this being the first time she had ever been asked out. Smiling shyly, she replied, "O-Okay... Did... you have anything in mind, Kamui-senpai?"
He smiled easily. "Nothing too fancy. Mm... How about we catch a movie tomorrow? Sound good to you? Maybe around one in the afternoon?"
Luka nodded, blushing lightly. "Un... That sounds good, senpai..."
"Great!" he said, beaming. "I'll see you later then, I gotta get going to kendo practice!"
He ran off, waving over his shoulder, and Luka waved after him, still with her smile playing on her lips.
She chewed her lower lip while smiling. This was definitely a first for her! She just had to tell her best friend! Unable to contain her excitement, she whipped out her cell phone, a tuna strap hanging from it, and quickly called up Hatsune Miku. She usually didn't pick up until two rings, and as usual, in the middle of the third ring, her friend picked up with a "Hello?"
"Hi, Miku!"
"Hey, you! What's up?"
"I just couldn't wait to tell you," Luka said excitedly. "I got asked out on a date!"
"Oh, really?" Miku sounded surprised. "Well, that's great! Who was it?"
"You know Kamui-senpai from class 3-C?"
"No way! Seriously?"
"Yeah! I was surprised too, to be honest... What should I do?" Nervousness seeped into her voice. "I-I've never been on a date before, so I-"
"Ah, chill!" Miku said jovially. "Just be yourself! You'll be fine! Ah, hey, I gotta run! Catch ya later, yeah? And lemme know how it goes!"
"Un, will do!"
It was at times like this that Luka wished she had read more shoujo manga, or had an older sister, or something. She hadn't the slightest idea what to do or how to dress for a date... or anything really. Still, she waited at the place in the park she and Gakupo agreed to meet at. She had arrived about ten minutes before the time they'd agreed on, so she seated herself on a bench and prepared herself for a bit of a wait. Luka had decided on going casual but still (she hoped) nice, currently wearing a denim skirt, white shirt and a pink cardigan. She fidgeted nervously, wondering how everything was supposed to break down. Then she remembered her best friend's encouraging words to just be herself. She smiled at the memory of Miku's confident words, and slowly, the jitters went away.
Yosh! You can do this, Luka!
And so with renewed confidence, she continued to wait.
...and wait...
...and wait...
...and wait...
Worriedly, Luka looked down at her wristwatch. It was twenty minutes past the time they had agreed to meet up. She frowned and checked her cell phone. Well... she hadn't missed any calls... no texts either... Luka sighed. Maybe this was all just a cruel prank...?
"Hi-hi, Luka!"
Startled, the pink-haired girl looked up to see an extremely close view of her best friend leaning down toward her, a gigantic grin plastered on her face.
"M-Miku?" she asked with alarm. "What are you doing here?"
"Ehe~ I just got done with a little window shopping, so I was taking a stroll and just happened to see you! Where's Kamui-senpai at?" she asked with genuine curiosity. "Bathroom?"
Luka looked down dejectedly. Softly, she mumbled, "I... I think I've been stood up..."
Miku's grin vanished into shock, then guilt. "Oh... Oh, Luka, I'm... I'm so sorry..."
The pinkette flashed her a tiny, half-hearted smile, trying her best to hide how upset she was. She felt so stupid for getting so worked up over this... Sighing quietly, she said, "Well... I guess it happens, right?"
She wiped away a tear before it could fall, trying to pass it off as getting something in her eye. Another tear started in her other eye, but that one was brushed aside by Miku. "Hey now, don't cry," the tealette said comfortingly. With a gentle smile, she added, "It's not like you had any particular feelings for him anyway, ne?"
Luka conceded this with a nod. It was true that she'd only really ever thought of Kamui-senpai as another boy. And, if she thought about it, all her excitement was from the fact that she'd been asked out for the first time. So, she supposed, it really could have been anyone who asked her out, and it would've been the same... Except maybe they wouldn't have stood her up like he did. She felt sad all over again at this thought.
"Hey, tell ya what!" Miku chirped, grinning again as she clasped Luka's hands in her own. "Forget him! How about we catch a movie, just us girls! Ne?"
Luka blinked, but smiled shyly and nodded her assent after recovering from her surprise at the sudden proposal. She was already dressed up anyway, and she didn't think going back home to eat chocolate and mope around the house would've been an enjoyable use of her time. Besides, instead of spending her time flustered and uncomfortable around some boy she hardly knew, she'd be with her best friend, who always made her feel comfortable and happy.
"Sweet!" Miku seized her by the arm and used her free hand to pump her fist into the air. "Then let's go!" she cheered energetically.
The rest of Luka's day was happily spent in the company of her best friend, and Luka's only real complaint was that Miku insisted on seeing that new horror movie that had come out, so poor Luka (who wasn't any good with horror movies) spent the better part of the two hours it ran crying out in fright and clinging to Miku's arm while the tealette unabashedly enjoyed herself. At any rate, she had fun, and Luka was quickly able to forget that she had ever been stood up at all.
At school on Monday, Luka noted with great alarm that Gakupo was so heavily bandaged that he looked more akin to a mummy than a teenaged boy. It was said that after most of the kendo club's members had left on Friday, Gakupo had suddenly been attacked by what rumor said was a possessed suit of kendo training armor angrily wielding a shinai. Despite being the ace of the school's kendo club, Gakupo had been no match for the sheer rage behind each strike, and after a long battle, he had been beaten into unconsciousness by said possessed suit.
"Sounds like some kinda ghost story, huh?" Miku remarked with amusement.
"U-Un..." Luka quickly changed the topic. She'd never been any good with ghosts.
A little less than a week later, Luka's next suitor worked up the nerve to ask her out, an upperclassman named Shion Kaito. He was a kind and friendly sort of guy. Perhaps a little on the silly side, but Luka found him to be rather boyishly charming. He asked her out during lunchtime, and Luka accepted. However, she didn't know much about him, and he admitted he didn't know very much about her either, so he thought it best if they just took an opportunity to first get to know each other.
"There's a nice little place we can go to after school. They've got great ice cream! Er, if you like ice cream, I mean."
Luka smiled and nodded. "Un. I happen to really like ice cream, though sometimes I eat too much of it," she admitted sheepishly.
Kaito laughed lightly. "Sadly, same here. Sometimes I'm amazed I don't get brain freeze more often!"
Luka giggled, finding herself thinking he was a genuinely nice boy, and that she wouldn't mind spending some time with him casually. They parted ways, since Luka had already agreed to meet up with Miku for lunch on the roof. Once there, she found that Miku was already in the middle of eating. The two friends greeted each other happily, and Luka apologized for being late, explaining that she had been asked out by Kaito.
Miku smiled brightly at this. "Wow, that's great, Luka! Who knew that you'd get asked out again so soon for another date!"
"I guess... It's not really much of a date though, just getting to know each other, really."
"Aww, don't be so bashful!" Miku laughed. She pinched her cheek, grinning as she cooed, "Though you're so cute when you are~~~ Kyaa~~"
"O-Ow, that hurts! Please stop doing that to me!" Luka whimpered.
Luka and Kaito met up at the cozy restaurant, Luka ordering a simple ice coffee, and Kaito ordering a gigantic sundae. The two spent their time amiably, talking about lighthearted topics and just getting to know each other. Just as their orders came out, he excused himself to go to the bathroom, so the pinkette waited for him while sipping on her drink. He was a nice guy, even if she wasn't sure she'd actually think of him as a boyfriend kind of guy... a friend, certainly. Well, maybe that opinion would change?
Time wore on. Five minutes became ten. Ten minutes became fifteen. Luka began to wonder what was taking him so long. Just shy of the twenty minute mark, Luka heard her cell phone ring. She checked it curiously, only to find that Kaito had texted her to say that something had come up and he needed to run. Luka sighed, feeling disappointment sinking into her again. She wondered if this counted as being stood up... and, she thought while frowning at the enormous sundae, she'd have to pay for something that wasn't even hers. She sighed again. Was it something she'd said...? And it looked like things had been going well too...
"Well, well, who do we have here?" a happy voice chimed.
Luka looked up to meet the grinning face of her best friend. She blinked in surprise. "Oh, Miku. What're you doing here?"
"Was just dropping in to grab myself a drink to go, but then I saw you here," Miku replied. She looked around. "Where's Shion-senpai at? I thought you were supposed to meet him?"
"Un," Luka replied glumly. "He went to go to the bathroom... that was... more than twenty minutes ago..." She sighed sadly. "I guess I got stood up again. And I'm stuck with the bill..."
Miku winced. "Ouch. What a flake." She glanced down at the sundae. "Hm... well, if he's not coming back, it'd be a shame to let this go to waste!" The tealette invited herself to the seat across from her friend. "I can't finish this alone though. What say we get another spoon and tag team this? Plus it's no fair for you to get stuck with the bill, so I'll pay for it!"
Luka smiled, her gloomy mood instantly forgotten. "Okay. Thanks, Miku."
"Ahh, what're friends for, yeah? C'mon, the sundae's melting and I'm not in the mood for soup!"
Not long after, the two girls stumbled out of the restaurant, groaning and clutching their heads from the brain freeze. Way too much ice cream...
"A-At least it was worth it, right?" Miku groaned through a pained grimace that could have passed for a smile.
Luka could only nod; the speech center of her brain hadn't quite unfrozen just yet.
The next day, rumors circulated through the school that Shion Kaito had gotten jumped outside of a restaurant, seemingly for no apparent reason. Whoever had done it, they had beaten him up very badly before leaving him to rot in the alley. Money had been taken from his wallet, so everyone assumed it was a mugging of sorts, but it had been an awfully exact amount. When Luka heard the amount, she noticed it sounded quite close to the amount that Kaito's treat had cost when he had ordered it.
"Crazy coincidence, huh?" Miku whistled when she heard the news.
Luka agreed. How strange indeed...
"I hope he's okay," she said worriedly.
"Oh," Miku replied with a casual air. "I wouldn't worry. I'm sure he is."
The third person to ask Luka out was a boy in her class who had apparently had a crush on her for some time, Kagamine Len. They decided on just having lunch and maybe a movie after he got off work on Saturday, from his part-time job at the family mart not too far from their school. Luka was forced to tell Miku about it, since they'd thought of hanging out that day and now that she had a date, she wouldn't be able to.
"Sorry, Miku..." Luka said guiltily.
"Ah, think nothing of it!" Miku answered cheerily. "We'll just hang out on Sunday, 'kay?"
"Sure!"
Because it made the most sense to them to just go straight to lunch after Len got off work, Luka got herself dressed and dolled up (sort of... she looked nice, but Luka was sure that if she knew more about these kinds of things, she could've looked even better...) before heading to the family mart. As she stepped in, she was greeted warmly by Len, who was standing at the counter and waiting for customers. They chatted for a bit, Len commenting that there hadn't been very many customers today, not that he was complaining. Luka found the blond boy to be adorable. A little boyish for her tastes, but Len seemed to have full confidence that he'd grow out of it once he hit his very tardy growth spurt. The end of his shift came, and Len headed into the back to get changed, apparently having brought more casual wear to change into for their date. Luka agreed to wait, so she busied herself with flipping through the magazines while she waited.
"Welcome!" a voice suddenly cried energetically from the counter. Luka looked up in alarm to the source of the voice, seeing...
"Kagamine-kun?" she asked, blinking. Why was he still in his work clothes? And... what was with the hair clips? And the big white ribbon in his hair?
"You mean Len? Oh, no, that's my brother!" the Len-look-alike replied (and this time, Luka noted the voice was a bit higher pitched than Len's). "I'm his twin sister, Rin! Pleased to meetcha!"
"Oh, um... hi," Luka said, a bit overwhelmed by the girl's energy. "Er, I was waiting for Kagamine-kun... We were supposed to head out for lunch together."
"Ooooh, like a date?" the blonde girl exclaimed, clearly being nosy and making no effort to hide it. She leaned over the counter and looked up and down at Luka. "Un, you definitely fit the description! Len wouldn't shut up when it came to this date of his! I can see why though!" She nodded, making satisfied noises with each nod and oblivious to the scarlet hue dusting Luka's cheeks.
"I-It's not... really a date..." she stammered quietly.
"Well, anyway!" Rin continued, barreling right over her. "I don't actually work here! I just stole Len's uniform; he's almost got my exact same sizes, didja know? Anyways, lemme go take a look for him! Bee are bee!"
With that, she zipped off, leaving a very overwhelmed Luka behind. The difference between those two was quite large, seeing how Len seemed much more reserved and shy than the boisterous girl she had just met... There was a chime at the door as another customer came in, and Luka looked over instinctively. She was surprised to see Miku walk in, humming lightly to herself.
"Miku?"
As if just noticing her, the tealette looked over. She broke out immediately into a bright smile. "Well, hey you! What're you still doing here? Thought you'd be out on your date with Kagamine-kun?"
Worriedly, Luka answered, "It seems he's gone missing... We were supposed to head out twenty minutes ago..."
Miku frowned. "Eee... Hope everything's okay."
It was at this moment that Rin came zipping back in, her grin dampened into a look of mild worry. "Hm... He's not here. His clothes are gone too. Maybe he left already?"
Luka sighed despondently. "Not again..."
Miku instantly came to her friend's rescue. "Ahh, cheer up, Luka! I may not be Kagamine-kun, but you can at least have lunch with me! A best friend is good enough, ne?"
Despite her poor mood, Luka at least felt a small smile tugging at her mouth from Miku's offer. "At least you won't stand me up," the pinkette said.
"Nope! Never have, never will! C'mon, it just so happens that I'm starving!"
The two left side by side as Rin waved vigorously after them, calling, "Thank you! Please come again soon~~~!"
As the two girls had lunch at a diner not too far from an arcade they liked to frequent, Luka griped glumly, "Boys are such flakes..."
Miku nodded sagely. "Indeed. Jerks."
After they finished their meal, Miku dragged her into the arcade, where they spent the day blasting zombies, or beating each other up with ridiculous 300 hit combos in the various fighting games, or trying to shove each other off of the dance machines while they cleared each stage. This was always accompanied by giggles and playful banter, and before they'd even started their first game, Luka had forgotten all about the date she was supposed to have today.
Later, after the girls returned to school for the week, Luka heard a rumor that Kagamine Len had been found last Saturday stuffed into a locker in the employee changing room of the family mart he worked part-time at. His mouth, wrists, and ankles had been bound in duct tape after he'd been stripped down to his underwear (but given the number of nosebleeds this drew from his legions of fans, it was very well possible that this was just hopeful exaggeration). The rumor went on to say that his casual clothes had been inexplicably found in the dumpster behind the family mart, only discovered after his twin sister had stepped outside to try calling him again and heard the suspicious ringing of his cell phone in the dumpster. In addition, a newly exhausted roll of duct tape had been found on top of his clothes.
Luka found this story to be very curious.
It could probably be assumed that, due to her string of bad luck concerning the opposite gender, it wasn't too surprising that Luka had not been opposed to a change of pace.
Luka had never really thought about it before, but after her upperclassman Masuda Lily asked her out, she didn't think it'd be so bad to date a girl. Sure, homosexuality was something that many people would raise an eyebrow at (at the very least), but at this point, she was a little sick of boys, and she didn't think there was any harm in just hanging out with a girl. If something happened, she reasoned, something would happen. And if not, well... then it wouldn't. Lily (she had insisted on being called by first name) had understood that it was a little hard for a girl to suddenly think about going out with another girl on a date, so she had been reasonable and offered to maybe just spend some time at a coffee shop together. Luka had agreed, already knowing of a wonderful café close to their school that she and Miku tended to frequent. So after school on Friday, they decided they would go there. Luka texted Miku ahead of time to explain that she had a date and that the tealette should go on home without waiting for her.
Miku's reply of "Kk ^_^ Go get 'em, tiger!" had been just the encouragement she'd needed, and she felt glad to know that her best friend didn't think any less of her for trying out a date with another girl.
Miku always knows how to make me feel better, she thought affectionately.
Their date, if one could call it that, started well enough. Despite Lily's penchant for being teasing and aggressive, she respected her personal space, and instead of pressuring her into anything she wasn't ready for, was content to just speak with her like a normal human being. Lily made her feel comfortable, and Luka felt as if she wouldn't really mind being with another girl. Besides, boys obviously weren't exactly a smashing success for her. Three strikes, after all, made an out.
They got ready to go home, and Lily offered to pick her up the next day in the afternoon, to have lunch and then maybe hang out and find something to do. Luka accepted the offer, saying that she would be free at noon. After she got home and started changing out of her clothes, her cell phone rang.
Luka picked up with a, "Hello?"
"Heya! So, how'd it go?"
Luka grinned at the sound of Miku's voice. "Well, we were just getting to know each other... It's my first time going out with a girl, after all. It... It went well."
"She didn't try anything, did she? I hear Lily-senpai can be pretty frisky when she wants to be..."
"Oh, no. She was nice enough, and she didn't come on too strong or anything."
"Well, that's good. But you lemme know if she does anything to you, and I'll beat her up for you!"
Luka giggled at Miku's vehemence. "Don't worry, I'm sure things will be fine."
"If you say so," Miku pouted dubiously. "But that aside, you gonna be free tomorrow? Or you got yourself another hot date?"
The pinkette rolled her eyes at the teasing tone at the end. "If you want to call it that. Lily-senpai said she wanted to hang out tomorrow around noon-ish."
"Ooh, progress! Big improvement already!"
She grinned. "I... suppose. We'll see how it goes."
"Kyaa~ so modest~! But don't lemme keep ya, you need your beauty sleep! I'll talk to you later, 'kay?"
"Un. Good night."
"Good night!"
Luka woke up bright and early the next morning and got herself ready to go. By eleven-thirty, Luka was ready to head out, opting again for casual rather than dressy or anything. By twelve, she was ready, but her date was still absent. By twelve-thirty, she was starting to get a little impatient. By one, she was worried. At one-thirty, she received a call on her cell phone and jumped to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Luka!" Miku's voice chirped, though she sounded a little like she had woken up not too long ago. "Sorry, don't mean to bug ya on your date, but I was just hoping you had Thursday's notes for English? I freaking suck at that stuff..."
The pinkette sighed, flopping onto the couch. "I do. And you can't be bugged on a date when you're not on one..." she said gloomily.
"What the- Again? Oh, c'mon now..."
"My thoughts exactly..."
"Bah, whatever. Hey, that means you're free then, yeah?"
"Yup."
"Tell ya what, I'm starving right now. How about I buy some food and we just hang out at your place? Sound good?"
Luka smiled. "Y'know Miku, you're really sweet."
"Ah, it's what friends are for! Gimme like thirty minutes and I'll be over!"
"Alright."
True to her word, Miku was over in thirty minutes carrying a large bag of fast food, though Luka did notice she looked a little more tired than she usually did. The rest of the day was spent at Luka's house, scarfing down their lunch and some snacks, watching cheesy chick flicks, playing games, and then howling about how crappy Xbox 360s were when Luka's Xbox was afflicted by the Red Ring of Death.
Aside from that misfortune, Luka had to admit to herself that, really, she liked spending her time with Miku most anyway.
When they went back to school on Monday, Luka heard that Lily-senpai was still sick with her cold. Apparently when she had gone to sleep on Friday night, somehow the window had pulled itself open and the air conditioning unit in her room had gone on full blast all night. The result had been she woke up on Saturday morning with a horrid cold that still hadn't gone away, though at least whatever angry ghost had turned on her air conditioning unit and left her window open hadn't returned...
Miku had found the story to be quite fascinating.
Luka had as well, and a suspicion began to gnaw at the back of her head...
After Luka's suspicion began, she began to take note of a pattern in her dates, including the two that followed after. Her fifth date was with an upperclassman named Sakine Meiko, who ended up mysteriously getting alcohol poisoning the day before their date. Suspiciously enough, Miku had called to hang out the next afternoon, seeming a little more tired than usual and smelling faintly of alcohol.
While Megurine Luka was extremely dense when it came to romantic feelings aimed at her, she could be pretty sharp otherwise, and by this point, she was pretty sure she had the pattern down.
This was her sixth date. Luka had been asked out by a girl in her year named Kamui Gumi, the younger sister of Gakupo. The location for their meeting had been most unusual: a maid café, where Gumi apparently worked part-time, though she tried to keep it a secret. Though, amusingly enough, she had shared that her father had visited the maid café once while she'd been working, leading to a rather awkward moment.
Amusing detail aside, Luka sent out a mental apology to Gumi as she informed Miku that she had a date with Gumi that day and that she should go on home without her. Miku's response had been predictably cheerful, right up to the moment that they hung up.
At the moment, Luka was seated at a table near the door, sipping on a nearly empty glass of ice coffee. It hadn't been too busy today, so Gumi had been able to sit with Luka and chat. The green-haired girl was a lively, energetic sort, and always became extra passionate whenever she spoke of the anime or manga or games she loved so much. Luka smiled in amusement at her, finding the fact she was a closet otaku to be quite cute. At the end of her shift, Gumi glanced at her watch and grinned.
"I'm off now! Just gimme a sec, Megurine-san! I'll be right back!"
With that, she headed off for the employee changing room. Luka smiled gently at her retreating back, but the smile faded as she turned to face forward again. The pinkette brought out her cell phone and looked at the time. If she wasn't back in ten, she would know something was up. Luka drummed her fingers on the table, sipping her drink and gazing out the window and occasionally stealing glances at her phone.
There really wasn't any way for her to deny this very real possibility. Sure, it was all circumstantial at best, and there was of course the slim possibility that this could all be chalked up to a long series of coincidences, but Luka was quite doubtful of that. And if she was right...
Luka glanced at the clock and noticed that ten minutes had passed, and there was no sign of Gumi. She sighed. She'd been "stood up" again, and now it was time to confirm her suspicion. She purposefully stood up and strode to the employee changing room. Without bothering to knock, she opened the door and stepped inside.
"Oh! Uh, hi Luka!"
Luka folded her arms over her chest. "Miku. I might have known."
Said teal-haired girl was standing in the locker room, hands behind her as she glanced around before pointing at herself comically. "Who, me?"
"As far as I know, you are the only Miku in the room."
Silence fell over them, broken only by what sounded like muffled screams for help. Miku grinned innocently at her friend, and Luka sighed.
"Miku."
"Yes, Luka?"
"I've come to realize something."
"Oh yeah? What's up?"
"I've realized that so long as you are determined to sabotage all of my dates, that means the only one I can date is you."
"Sabotage?" Miku asked with surprise, though her posture remained relaxed. "Who, me? Now why would I ever do a thing like that?"
The muffled screams for help hit a crescendo just as she'd finished saying that.
Luka rolled her eyes, though an affectionate smile still tugged insistently at her mouth. "Pick me up at one tomorrow. Don't be late."
With that, she turned to walk away. A light blush stained her cheeks as she shook her head lightly. Well, in all honesty, she had the most fun when she was with Miku anyway. So really, she supposed this wasn't bad at all.
As she reached the door to the locker room, she remembered something. "Oh, and Miku?'
"Yes?" Miku looked much happier than she'd ever seen her before.
Luka's mouth was shaped into an amused smile. "Please let Gumi out of that locker before she suffocates."
Fin
This... was like a combo of writer's block and breaking out of writer's block. I don't even know... seriously. XD I got the idea for this fic from somewhere, I think it mighta been another fic on this site, or somewhere else... or maybe it was a manga? Hell, I don't remember, and that kinda bugs me. XD I was trying to go for a slightly more subtle-ish Miku/Luka here, I hope I did okay. These past two weeks at work have been brutal x_X;
But whining and excuses aside, I hope you guys like this one! Please review and lemme know what you think! 'Til next time, and hopefully with no writer's block on the way... -_-;
