Hello my lovelies, here's the anticipated Vocaloid concert. It was well worth the wait, trust me. And Things are about to take a turn you might not have expected ;D
I dedicate this to my special people and the few who have been telling me to update. Mainly Mad_Hatter_fan and renavampire. I love you all. Okay, Kenzie, you'll see shortly why I put you on here besides that you're awesome xD
Okay, now le teaser:
…I'm not putting one! But I am by saying I'm not… anyways . read on!
=.=.=.=.=.=.=
I crack exactly 13 eggs into a pan and scramble them up. In goes cheese, toast in the toaster, and bacon out of the pan… I figure since Roxas is so skinny and pale, some good nutrition would help since his momma isn't here to do that job and neither is mine because she has to go off and kill herself…
Slamming the egg pan down, I pinch myself repeatedly to bring myself back to reality. God damn it, you must try to forget about that, past is past. You can't help mom and dad's actions now Axel…
The water goes off upstairs. Good, Roxy should be down in a couple minutes… I finish plating the food and put the milk and oj on the table. Roxas had no fucking food in this place, I'm going to go shopping and force some food down his throat if I have to…
"…Axel? Wow…" I turn around and smile at the blonde, taking in his wet spikes and the black cat he has in tow. It confidently pads over to me and rubs against my leg, purring loudly. My smile widens.
"Morning Roxy, I made you some breakfast," the blonde shrugs nonchalantly.
"Thanks, I guess…" his face goes blank as he sits down at the table. I sit across from him and we eat in a silence that's somewhere between comfortable and awkward. The cat walks over to where I have my feet stretched out and curls on top of them, purring even louder than before. I think it likes me…
When Roxas the slow eater finally finishes, I start cleaning off the table, humming a random Assassin song as I work. The blonde sits, looking lost, so I throw a towel at him and motion him over. I smile a light, almost flirty smile at him as I hand him a plate to dry. In no time at all, the dishes are done.
"Okay Roxy, here's the plan: at four, we'll head to the concert. At 5:30 ish I'm making you dinner, anything you want as long as the answer isn't 'nothing'. Then we throw on our costumes and get us some candy. In the mean time, we do whatever you want." Roxas nods silently, averting his eyes. Fuck. I might have to call in reinforcements to make this the best damn day of his life
=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
(Rin's POV)
"Rin, can you come here please?" I cringe and close my song book, glancing around. My music teacher stands in the door of her office, smiling at me all the way to her multicolored eyes. She waves me over and disappears inside. Uh oh…
I leave my things and walk into Ritsu's office. She shuts the door behind me and I feel a sinking feeling in my stomach.
"Rin, Neru has a sore throat and is sitting out of this one." I sigh in relief. Akita is okay, but most days she's a huge pain, only texting and singing, never anything else..
"And Gakupo has volunteered to talk her place performing Magnet. I hope you don't mind the short notice." I freeze as all the blood drains from my face. Gakupo? But… he… it'll be so awkward. This has to be on purpose, Miku has been trying to get me with him since I told her I liked him. But maybe what Sora said on Monday, about him liking me back… could it be true? I gulp. I guess there's nothing to do but see what happens…
I leave Ristu's office in a daze. I could skip today… no. I will not be forced to leave. I've been practicing for months. I'm not going to back down just because I might make a fool of myself!
=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
We drive to the concert in silence, Roxas' found mood strong enough that I can almost feel the tension in the air. I sigh, gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles go white. The day is not fucking going the way I planned so far. And all because I trusted this boy who I only met a few days ago would listen to me.
"Roxas! Where the hell are you! We gotta go, we're going to be late!" he said he had to go and grab something, but that was over 5 minutes ago.
"Damn it Roxy!" I growl, stomping up the stairs and throwing up the door to his bedroom.
"Roxas, what the fuck is-"I freeze. The blonde does too, looking like a deer in the headlights. I silently walk over and pluck the large razor out of his hands. A roll of gauze is on the floor, so I grab it and wrap his arm tightly around his marred arms. I sit beside him for a couple of minutes. He cut again and I couldn't do anything about it…
Roxas looks up at me with sad eyes about to overflow with tears.
"Axel, are you pissed at me?" I shake my head sadly and hug the blonde.
"No Roxy… I'm just sad. Now come on, we don't want to be later than we already are."
I sigh again as we pull into the parking lot of the school. we get out and start walking to the auditorium when I spot a trio of girls in short dresses jogging towards us.
"Axel, Roxas! Over here!" the girl in the pink dress yells. Behind her is a girl in a blue dress and a girl in an orange dress. It's Kairi and Miku. Roxas' eyes narrow, but when Kairi glomps him he nervously hugs her back, forgetting whatever he might have been thinking about. The girl in orange turns to me, smiling with overflowing confidence.
"Hi, I'm Olette." We shake hands and all start walking to the door together. I crack a smile as the girls giggle and chatter with each other, occasionally throwing bits of small talk at me or Roxas.
When we get inside, we stop at the counter where a girl with redish hair sits reading a book. Junjo Romantica and yaoi, from the looks of it. Great, we got another fangirl here…
"Kenzie, " Miku says, "can you mark Axel and Roxas on the free entry list?" The girl looks up and smiles with her braces.
"Sure thing Miku. And nice to finally meet the famous Axel and Roxas." The red head blushes and goes back to her manga. I shake my head. the fangirls perplex me…
"Well, we gotta finish getting ready and stuff, enjoy the show." Kairi says, smiling. We nod and wave, going to take our seats. On the way, Roxas gives me a questioning look.
"Was it just me or was something off about them?" I shrug and watch the blonde's eyebrows knit together.
"I've known Olette, Kairi, and Miku my entire life, but that was just strange. I shrug again. I wish I could be more help to him, but I just fucking met them…
I groan internally as Roxas vibrates in his seat. Great, now he's the one in a good mood and I'm the one PMSing…I sink deeper into my seat and close my eyes. When the singing starts, all the songs melt together and I drift to sleep.
(Namine's POV)
I tear off the wine red wig and sigh. Shadow comes up in front of me and hugs me, her Olette wig still on.
"Nami, you okay? What's wrong?" I bury my face in her collar bone, on the verge of tears. Our plan is so flawed, mess more than one thing up and everyone's screwed. All we want is the whole Strife family to be happy, Riku and Roxas. Because we're good friends and that's what friends are for.
"Shadow, I just don't want to go back there. It was hell the first time, once was enough. I'm done." Shadow sighs and rubs my back sympathetically. And smiles.
"It'll be worth it in the end. You'll never have to go back to your family if you don't want to, I'll make sure of that." She kisses me reassuringly and I sink into her warmth. But the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end,like I'm being watched. I turn around and purple eyes surrounded by silver peer into my soul. I shiver. Haku is just so much like the one we hunt down…
=.=.=.=.=.=.=
(Rin's POV)
"And now, Magnet performed by Kagamine Rin and Kamui Gakupo." I shiver and pull my short black dress down. After rearranging my purple headphones and the small hat on top, I sigh, waiting for our cue. Gakupo waves at me from the other side of the stage and winks, making me turn beet red. I officially do not want to do this. Gakupo and I were friends years ago, when I was 6 and he was 11. He helped watched me and kept me from getting hurt so many times. Then when hes started acting weird, I avoided him…
"Rin, you missed your cue!" Ritsu nudges me and I jog out to where I'm supposed to be. Calm down and do this, I think, taking deep gulps of air.
Gakupo locks eyes with me when we're standing across from each other, center stage. It's like we're alone in our own world because the audience are invisible to me. The music starts we walk in a circle around each other, showing the forbidden love the song speaks of, our hands almost touching. Gakupo's beautiful baritone voice echoes on his part and I blush deeper.
On the crescendo, we intertwine finger and he dips me, making me dizzy. Then he pulls me back up and we sing in unison, our microphones eventually crossing, we get so close. God, it's getting hot in here…
I lose myself in those violet eyes, twirling and singing. His strong hands are on my waist erasing every thought but one: sing and enjoy.
At the end of the song, the purplette dips me once more, surprising me. We're just supposed to bow to each other and walk away… Gakupo tilts me so far that I'm no longer touching the ground, only in his arms, holding me bridal style. Shit, is he going to…?
"I love you Rin, since the day I met you." He presses his lips against mine, warm and soft. I distantly hear the crowd going wild but it fades away as the kiss deepens, the kiss of my soul mate. Finally, after waiting so long…
(Roxas' POV)
I grin as Gakupo kisses Rin. Finally they're getting shit figured out, Gakupo has been in love with her the entire time I've known them. I glance over at Axel and my mood sours. I never got to experience real love and I probably never will. Why would Axel want damaged goods like me?
"That was the finale, thank you for coming everyone! I hope you enjoyed the wonderful concert by our own lovely Vocaloids!" The curtains open again and all the Vocaloids take a final bow.
Oddly, Miku is wearing the same dress as earlier. But she was wearing at different costume when she performed the first time. Something is very fishy here…

Longest chappie yet FTW. Sorry for the wait, but it was worth it, right? :3
