Song Recommendation: Lost Destination (Kaito and Len)
Piko woke to the smell of sex. He couldn't really remember what had happened last night or who with. He was half hanging off of the bed with his arm lying across carpet. He could see Meiko passed out naked on the floor with her ever present bottle of liquor. As he was trying to pull himself back onto the bed, he felt hair under his hand. It was dark purple. The other form in the bed with him was cocooned in all the blankets, but from the tendrils of long purple hair going everywhere, he knew it had to be Gakupo.
It was his usual fuck buddies so he didn't have to worry about getting out of there before they woke. He stretched back out on the bed. He was a bit chilly without blankets, but he knew better than to try and get one back from Gakupo. He tried to go back to sleep but it was no use. He was cold and felt sticky from all the dried cum on his body. He climbed out of the bed and went to the closet, avoiding Meiko on the floor. Once in the closet, he selected his usual clothing from the program and his whole body was reset to fit his usual appearance. He was clean and his hair and clothes were how he wanted.
Walking back out, he realized that they were in Meiko's room. The bed was simple, as were the decorations. There was a fridge filled to the brim with liquor against the far wall. They didn't need to eat and couldn't really taste, so many Vocaloids didn't bother with food. Alcohol and drugs were still effective though, so Piko and his usual cohorts partook of them pretty often.
Piko peeked out the door to see if anyone he was avoiding was out there. No one was visible, so he quietly exited the room as not to wake his partners. As he was walking down the hall, he heard a door close. It wasn't coming from that crazy Spanish bitch's door so he didn't worry about it. A few seconds later he heard a second door slowly creak open and a familiar creepy voice ask someone to take her bear.
Piko quickly turned around to see a confused blond man standing in front of Mayu. He had never seen the guy before. He must be that new Vocaloid, Piko thought. He was really really hot. Before Piko could finish that thought, he saw the man reach for Mayu's bear.
Piko ran quickly back up the hall and slapped the guy's hand away from the bear. The man looked scared and hurt at the sudden action. Mayu's emotionless face showed nothing.
Go back in your room, Mayu, he doesn't have time to play with you today.
Mayu backed slowly into her room and closed the creaking door. Piko let loose a sigh of relief. That could have turned ugly really fast. He turned back to face the new Vocaloid.
Never ever take her bear. If you see her again, say that you don't have time to play today. Piko scolded him.
Piko heard another door open down the hall but it was only I.A. At that he grabbed the stranger's hand and led him back to the common room. There were several Vocaloids that he didn't want to see him today.
I'm Piko and you are? Piko asked while plopping down on a couch.
I am called Yohioloid. It's very nice to meet you Piko. Yohioloid sat down as well.
Mayu is a very dangerous Vocaloid, so remember not to mess with her.
Okay.
Piko turned on one of the TV's and turned it to a cartoon. Yohioloid stared at it in fascination and was soon thoroughly distracted.
Piko estimated them to both be similar in physical age, even though Yohioloid was a good foot taller than him. He wondered if there was anything he could use him for. He was new and naïve, easy to manipulate. Piko placed his hand on Yohioloid's thigh and tried to gage his reaction. Nothing. Piko watched his face as he ran his hand closer to his crotch. No blush or anything. His eyes didn't even leave the TV.
He wondered if perhaps Yohioloid was too new and naïve to be affected yet. It was strange though. Most Vocaloids old enough to know about sex already had the information at hand in their programming. There should be some reaction. Maybe he was straight. Piko hoped not. Even if he was straight, wouldn't he look back at Piko in disgust or ask him to stop? Piko removed his hand from the other's crotch and sat back to watch the TV too.
Yohioloid thought Piko's actions were strange. Why was this child trying to make a move on him? He knew that's what he was doing. They had barely known each other for 15 minutes and Piko was way too young. He wasn't interested. Yohioloid just ignored him and concentrated on the TV. After the hand was removed from his crotch, he glanced over at the boy with a quirked eyebrow. Piko seemed to almost be pouting. Yohioloid looked back to the TV and laughed at one of the characters falling down comically.
Avanna entered the common room to see Yohioloid sitting on one of the couches watching TV. She also saw Piko sitting with him. It was nice that one of his fellow Japanese Vocaloids was hanging out with him. She didn't see Piko often, except for when he was leaving other Vocaloid's rooms late at night. She wondered what he had taught Yohioloid this morning or what kind of conversation they had had. She walked over to them as Yohioloid was laughing.
"Good morning both of you. Yohioloid, I have a few more things I want to show you today. Would you like to visit my room for lunch?"
Yohioloid nodded and a got up from the couch. Piko had an annoyed look on his face. Avanna felt bad for interrupting their fun, but it was her responsibility to get Yohioloid well adjusted. She led him down another hallway on the opposite side of the room. This hallway led to different places they could go to. She showed him the arcade, ballroom, library, computer room, and pool. There were many other places here and new ones were created every few months, but she felt like he should explore and discover them for himself. These places she showed him were just common gathering areas.
After she showed him around, she brought him back to her room. Oliver was waiting outside. Avanna let them in and led them through the forest inside of her home to her little cottage next to a stream. She checked the venison slow roasting over the fireplace. It appeared done. She had marinated it with wild berries and mead. She removed it from the flame after gesturing for her guests to take a seat at the wooden, hand carved table. She removed the strings that held all the meat and spices together and sliced the meat into thick pieces. She pulled out several loafs of bread that she had baked yesterday from one of the cabinets.
She knew that the food wouldn't have a taste really, but she imagined that it was much more flavorful than food that was created by the computers. It definitely smelled much nicer and gave her a lot more energy. Oliver seemed to love her cooking too. She wondered if Yohioloid had tried eating yet.
Oliver took his bread and meat and made a sandwich. He was the first start eating and moaned at the first bite. Avanna wanted to scold him for eating before the guest, but eating always seemed to make him really happy. Avanna showed Yohioloid how she ate hers, eating the meat like a steak and taking bites of bread in between, but told him that he could eat his food however he wished. He seemed to like the easy quick way that Oliver was demolishing his food and made a sandwich as well. He took a bite and seemed to enjoy the textures of the food in his mouth. Avanna was glad that they were enjoying themselves. Most of the Vocaloids she invited over for lunch declined because they didn't see much point in eating if it didn't have a taste. She liked the different textures and smells that food offered and she loved the energy boost that it gave her. She could go for days without sleeping or charging herself if she ate. She loved the thrill of hunting for her food as well. She had become a master with her bow hunting the wildlife that populated her forest.
While she was cleaning up after the meal, Avanna noticed a blinking light behind Yohioloid's ear. His batteries couldn't be running low, he had just eaten.
"Yohioloid, what's that blinking light right here." She pushed his hair away from his ear to fully expose it.
Yohioloid reached up and pressed the glowing button causing a beep. Avanna worried if maybe she shouldn't have let him do that. A few seconds later a small cube shaped creature came zipping up. It stopped next to Yohioloid and let out a series of computer noises.
"This is Cubik." Yohioloid explained, "He was trying to locate me."
Oh, he had a pet. It was very cute. She knew that some of the Vocaloids kept pets. Avanna kind of wanted an animal companion, but she couldn't see keeping a rabbit or a deer. They were food, not pets. Perhaps a cat or a wolf. Unfortunately there weren't any in her forest.
After the cleaning was done, Avanna asked Oliver if he would let Yohioloid hang out with him for a while. Oliver agreed but with much gripping and complaining. She figured that Oliver would go visit his usual haunts and introduce him to more Vocaloids and places. She just hoped Oliver didn't teach him how to pull any of his tricks. That boy could be sneaky sometimes.
Yohioloid followed the blond haired boy out of the forest to the door. It was a wooden door in the middle of a stone wall. Once back in the hallway, Oliver took them through the common room back up the other hall and into the arcade. Yohioloid was curious about the bandages but didn't ask. He didn't want to be rude. He had seen the stitches and mismatched skin on those other two Vocaloids that he had learned from Avanna were made by the same creator as him and Oliver. He was grateful that he didn't have stitches marring his skin and felt kind of bad for the boy in front of him.
Once in the arcade, Oliver led him to the Dance Dance Revolution game. I.A., CUL, and a pink haired Vocaloid he'd yet to meet were there. I.A. and the pink haired Vocaloid were jumping about on the different arrowed tiles in time to the music. The song was fast and their feet almost seemed to blur as they tried to outdo each other. When the song was over the pink haired girl had won. She squealed and jumped in the air in victory.
"Oi! I brought you girlies some fresh meat." Oliver said to them.
None of them knew a lot of English but they got the point and dragged Yohioloid onto one of the play sets. CUL picked an easy song for them to do, while I.A. explained how the game worked and introduced him to Iroha. Yohioloid tried to follow the arrows but would get confused and step on the wrong one. At one point his feet got tangled under him and he fell. Oliver laughed at him while one of the girls helped him back up. After an hour of trying, Yohioloid was finally able to complete a song. After that, Oliver was ready to go.
"Alright, let's go. We got people to see and things to do."
Oliver led him back down to the residence hallway and into a room with a blue door that had a white anchor on it. The room looked like a child's bedroom from the 90's. There was a bulky mini TV with VCR sitting on the dresser amongst power ranger action figures and singing trophies. There was a basic bed and a desk with a massive old looking computer. Light filtered in from a window. Yohioloid could see a harbor and the ocean. While he was distracted observing the room, Oliver had collected some supplies from a trunk. He handed Yohioloid some rope and a roll of duck tape and beckoned him back out of the room.
They walked a good ways to a gray door that had yellow bows, "road rollers", and bananas painted on it. Oliver took a length of the rope and taped it to the door frame at ankle level. He then took a fake spider on a string and had Yohioloid tape it to the ceiling so that it hung at face level. He then jiggled the door and popped it open. A penny had been wedged into the lock.
He told Yohioloid to stand outside and keep watch while he went inside with the rest of the things. After about 5 minutes he walked back out and reapplied the penny in the lock before closing the door behind him. He carefully stepped over the trip wire and ducked under the spider. While they walked down the hall Oliver made shhing motion with his finger and glanced back at the door. Yohioloid understood that it was supposed to be a secret.
After that they went to a room Yohioloid hadn't been in yet. It was a room filled with instruments. Mew was strumming an electric guitar and singing to her cat when they walked in. Oliver told Yohioloid to go socialize for a bit while he took care of some things and went into what looked like a storage closet.
Mew's cat swatted at Cubik while Yohioloid listened to Mew play. He wondered if he knew how to play any instruments. He didn't know the song she was singing, so he waited for her to finish before speaking.
How are you today? He asked.
I'm great. You don't have to be so formal you know. What have you been up to?
I've been meeting new people and seeing new things.
That's awesome dude, you wanna see if you know how to play guitar?
Yes please.
Mew handed him the guitar and a pick and pulled a music stand over. She fliped to an easy song and asked him to try it. Yohioloid haltingly started strumming it, but it sounded like the song. He knew how to play a guitar. Mew encouraged him to keep at it while she picked up a flute and played along with him. Yohioloid's playing got better and better until by the end of the song, they sounded really good together.
By this point, Oliver was finished with whatever it was he was doing and walked out of the closet holding what looked like some kind of large battery. Yohioloid said his farewells to Mew and followed the boy back out of the room. They next went to a place that looked kind of like a café. Oliver got them drinks and sat over at a table with a screw driver and some black box he seemed to pull from nowhere.
"What are you doing all of these things for?" Yohioloid asked while sipping his drink. It actually had a bit of flavor to it. He could tell that it was sweet and the heat stung his tongue. The little bit of sweetness paired with the creamy texture and the heat was actually really pleasant.
"I'm getting revenge. That idiot thought it would be funny leave traps outside of my room; well he has another thing coming. I hope he enjoys all the misfortune about to befall him. I only hope his sister doesn't get caught in it instead." Oliver sipped his own drink and continued to work on whatever it was he was taking apart.
"Who are you talking about?" Yohioloid asked, now that he thought about it, he'd only met 2 other males so far and neither of them seemed to be the type for tricks.
"Oh, you'll meet that fool soon. He's probably plotting revenge right back on me even though he hasn't even seen what I've done." Oliver snipped a wire and then started putting things back into the box.
When they were finished with their drinks and Oliver with his tweaking, they left the café thing and went back to the musical room. Mew was no longer in there and the room was empty. Yohioloid followed Oliver into the closet and watched him put a keyboard back together, inserting the black box.
By this time it was evening, so their next stop was back into the common room to watch TV. There were several other Vocaloids in there. Many he knew and several that he didn't yet know. Today had been a pretty interesting day.

AN: First, Piko isn't actually a child, so this isn't shota. He's an older teen and androgynous so he appears much younger. There was a bit of foreshadowing. Well a lot of foreshadowing. I hope I haven't given some stuff away. I realize that most of the fandom doesn't care about Engloids, but they are special to my heart and I love them.
