Early chapter :D
Ok I know it's only by like 10 hours but still. Enjoy!
"You guys were good friends with Miku, right?" Miki asked Rin and Len early the next day.
"Yeah, we were her roommates," Len answered, feeling a pang of sadness when Miki used past tense.
"Oh, OK, well did you know she's dating SeeU?"
"What?" Rin yelled, confused. "What in the world makes you think that?"
Miki shrugged. "They were hugging. And they were in SeeU's bed."
Len rolled his eyes. "Ever heard of friendship?"
Miki looked annoyed. "Listen, I saw them. They weren't hugging like friendship hug, they were hugging like...a couple."
"Uh, Miki, I think you're assuming way too much here," Rin said skeptically.
Miki sighed. "Whatever. Have you talked to Miku recently?"
"No, we tried knocking on her door but-" Len was cut off by Rin elbowing him in the stomach.
Miki smiled triumphantly. "Probably wanted some...alone time with her girlfriend." With that, Miki walked off and left Rin and Len.
"Miki is crazy," Rin said, and started to walk back to her room, because she and Len were standing by the recording room.
"Well, obviously we didn't believe her because we know Miku, but what if she goes and tells someone else? Or what if...Miku really is in a relationship with SeeU?" Len asked slowly, and Rin turned back around to face Len.
She slapped him. "She's not! Miku doesn't care for relationships!"
"Are you sure?" asked Len as he rubbed his cheek, now not sure what to believe.
"Yes! Are you crazy?" Rin looked desperate. "I'm going to go talk to her."
"But if you're so sure Miki is wrong, shouldn't you try to find Miki and stop her from telling someone else? If rumors start spreading about Miku and they aren't true, she's going to be so mad. I mean, think about how we felt when people made fun of us," Len said, "Now think of how Miku would react, based on her temper."
Rin tugged on her own hair nervously. "Do you remember which way she went?"
"Most likely to her room. She went that way," Len pointed.
"OK," Rin said, and left Len by himself. Len sighed and went back to his room.
"Only three more weeks until the concert," he said to himself. "It's going to be great." He pressed his face into his hands.
"Are you seriously just going to ignore Miku like that?" Haku asked Kaito. "I think you made her sad yesterday. You could have at least let her come in. Maybe she was trying to make up for being in a bad mood."
"But she asked if you and I were in a relationship! How am I supposed to answer that without being awkward?"
"Well, are we?"
Kaito was silent. "I don't know."
"I wouldn't mind being in one," Haku said, stepping forward. "I mean, I like you. Do you like me?"
Kaito was quiet again. "Yes, but, I...I don't know. It's weird. I don't know if it would work." He started to go out the door, but then stopped. "This is my room," he said, looking slightly embarrassed.
Haku nodded. "Don't worry, I'll let you think about it. Goodbye," she said, and leaned up on her tiptoes to kiss Kaito quickly before leaving.
"Haku is so pretty, and so nice," Kaito thought to himself,"But why do I like her? She reminds me of Miku, but that seems terrible of me. I really don't like Miku like that," He sighed. "Miku's more fun, but Haku is more...reasonable. Why did I even get in this mess anyway?"
"You OK?" Gakupo asked, noticing Kaito's dazed look. "You're usually smiling."
Kaito looked at him. "Yeah, I don't know. I like Haku, but I feel like she's too serious all the time. She smiles, sure, but she doesn't make jokes and only laughs politely at mine."
Gakupo shrugged. "Go talk to Miku."
"Wait, Miku? Why?"
"I don't ignore everything you say. Just go talk to her."
Kaito reluctantly left and got directions from Meiko on where Miku's room was, then went to the room. He stood in front of Miku's door, hesitant to knock. A girl with red hair walked up to him.
"Hi," she said, and Kaito looked at her funny.
"Who are you, and do you know Miku?"
"I'm Miki. And I'm fairly certain every Vocaloid and Utauloid in this building knows Miku, since she is the one performing in a concert."
"Oh, right." Kaito stood, feeling awkward and wondering if this girl would go away.
"Are you in love with her?"
Kaito really wondered what was wrong with this girl now. "What exactly makes you think that?"
"Oh, you're just standing at her door. I thought that might be implying something."
Kaito raised his eyebrow at Miki. "So, what do you want again?"
"I was just wondering if you knew that Miku was in a relationship with her roommate, SeeU."
"Um...what?"
Miki rolled her eyes. "Does everybody here have hearing problems? Miku. and. SeeU. are. dating."
With that, Miki skipped off, leaving Kaito extremely confused about what he just witnessed. The door to Miku's room opened and Miku ran straight into Kaito. She stepped back and looked at him.
"I can't exactly pretend you don't exist if you're standing in my way," she said coldly.
"Oh...sorry," Kaito said and stepped to the side. Miku ran out of her room with SeeU bounding after her. Kaito sighed and walked back to his room. "Did I really tell Miku to ignore me?"
Rin ran around looking for Miki, before she gave up and went to Meiko. "Have you seen Miki?" she asked, not knowing if Meiko paid attention to these things. Rin noticed she had interrupted a new singer talking to Meiko. "Sorry for interrupting you," she added, to the surprised boy with white hair.
Meiko shook her head. "Why do you need her?"
"Miku is supposedly dating SeeU and-" Rin suddenly saw Miki walking down the hall and darted off. The boy who Rin had interrupted looked from Rin to Meiko as his eyes widened.
"Miku? Like the famous one in the concert?" he asked. Meiko nodded, but was confused. She wondered what Rin had been talking about.
Miku and SeeU headed to Luka's room for lessons on SeeU's English singing. Miku wanted to tell Luka that she wanted to do a duet in the concert. As Miku listened to SeeU learning to sing in english, she was amazed. SeeU was almost as good as Luka, and maybe even better.
The lesson finished and Miku walked next to SeeU back to their room. They passed the recording room and saw a Utauloid stare at them as they passed. Miku shrugged to herself. They were both popular Vocaloids, after all. Miku stopped at the door, about to sing her note, when she remembered SeeU's special song she would get to sing.
"Hey SeeU, do you want to go ask Meiko if you can get a song to sing tomorrow?" Miku asked. SeeU nodded, and they retraced their steps and went to Meiko.
"You can sing your song tomorrow, I'll get someone to write one specially for you," Meiko said, while studying Miku and SeeU. Miku felt like something was odd about Meiko, but didn't say anything. Meiko didn't say anything about the rumor she had heard either. The 'couple' departed, not knowing what was going on behind their backs.
Rin stopped Miki. "You have to stop going around and spreading rumors about my Older Sister," she said forcefully.
Miki held up her hands in defense. "Hey, I won't say anything else. I promise." She smiled.
Rin wanted to relax, but she still didn't feel right. How far might that rumor have gotten by now? She had no idea.
The following day it seemed like everyone in the building had heard some kind announcement that SeeU and Miku didn't hear. When Miku went with SeeU to the recording room, SeeU proudly holding her song, there were dozens of Vocaloids and Utauloids walked aimlessly around, though most of them stopped and looked at Miku and SeeU when they passed. Usually there was no one in the halls.
"Do you think there's some sort of announcement that's going to happen?" SeeU asked Miku. Miku shrugged.
"I don't know, let's just get to the recording room so you can sing your song."
SeeU sang her song happily, and Miku clapped when she finished. "Perfect," Miku said, actually feeling happy for the first time in a while. Miku went into the room to do the song that she had found on her bed, and SeeU left the room to take advantage of the many people she could talk to outside.
SeeU saw Len running towards her. SeeU blushed when Len almost couldn't stop from running into her.
"Are you..." Len started, then lowered his voice, "Are you dating Miku?"
His expression looked worried, and SeeU was shocked for a moment. "Who would think that?" she wondered. Then a selfish idea passed through her mind.
"Well, obviously," she lied. "I love Miku."
Len's eyes widened in horror, and SeeU hoped she had done what she had been trying to do, even though her lie sounded stupid, even to herself. Len retreated back past some others who had been trying to listen to the conversation, and could be seen talking to his blonde roommate. SeeU sighed airily and went back into the recording room just as Miku was finishing up.
"Did you find out what everyone is doing out there?" Miku asked SeeU.
SeeU grabbed Miku's hand and pulled her out in the hallway and started walking towards their room. Miku was surprised, but didn't question SeeU. Quite a few eyes followed them.
"I think so," SeeU said, wondering if she had just made things worse.
Sorry about the frequent changes of scenes throughout the chapter. I'm hoping it wasn't too hard to follow. Short chapter again, but I'm hoping the amount of problems happening in it makes up for that.
