Ch. 8

I Love it When a Plan Comes Together

*Miku, Neru, Rin and Len are sitting at a small table in the student commons room chatting about nothing in particular. Neru would occasionally sneak glances at Len, and each time she would get caught by one of the other girls who would snicker. She shot a glare back at them in response.*

Len: ...and then i, uh, wow you could cut the tension in here with a knife..

Miku: Yeah... Hey where's Gumi right now?

Neru: She doesn't have any classes left today, she's probably on Xbox with her, ugh, otaku friends.

Rin: Probably.

Miku: *shoots Rin a quick knowing look, and Rin immediately gets the message*

Rin: I'm gonna go with her to find Gumi, you two gonna be alright here? *looks at Neru with a "go for it!" smile*

Neru: Y-yeah, go ahead.

Len: See ya!

*Miku and Rin exit the room to go find Gumi.*

Miku: She's either going to cry or make out with him.

Rin: Tsunderes... you never know.

Miku: *in her own head* This had better go smoothly, I cant have either of them pissed off at each other. I probably should have thought this gamble out a little more...

Rin: *waves hand in front of zoned out Miku* you alright there pal?

Miku: Oh, uh, yes. I was just thinking if leaving them in there alone was such a good idea.

Rin: I'll go back and make sure everything ends well.

Miku: don't let them know you're there.

Rin: duh! Go find Gumi, I got this.

Miku: if you say so...

*Miku walks off. She knocks on Gumi's door and finds it unlocked. She walks in the door and nearly trips over an empty sake bottle. Gumi is lying in a corner giggling. She looked as if she had been on one her her very rare drinking binges.*

Gumi: H-hey Miiiikew. Wuzzup.

Miku: Holy crap, how much did you drink?

Gumi: not enough, come siddown. I donwanna drinkish alone.

Miku: You're a mess! One more sip and you're gonna be in the hospital.

Gumi: I wanna write a shong.

Miku: a what?

Gumi: *Yelling* A SONG!

Miku: um, alright?

Gumi: Have a drink!

Miku: good lord, you sound like meiko! Fine, but this never happened.

Gumi: 'atta girl.

*One hour later Miku and Gumi had drafted a song called "Matryoshka"*

Miku: This... makes absolutely no sense. But it's the best song I think we've written yet by far. You ok Gumi?

Gumi: *very ill* ugh... So much sake...

Miku: Yeah, I've gotta hand it to you, I'm surprised you haven't collapsed yet.

Gumi: please make the lights shut up...

-Scene change-

*Cut to Neru and Len in the commons room right after Miku left.*

Len: so...

Neru: um...

Len: I hate to be rude by why to you keep staring at me?

Neru: *blushes* I don't!

Len: ...It's clear as day that you are.

Neru: Shut up, I wasn't.

Len: you don't have to be so defensive all the time ya know.

Neru: I'm not defen- damn it.

Len: got ya there.

Neru: You're such a boy.

Len: and YOU are as red as a tomato.

Neru: no...

Len: *suddenly figures things out in moment of genius* Oooooh now I get it.

Neru: Get what? *glares at him*

Len: Ya know Neru, to be honest, I kind of have a thing for you too...

Neru: I- I don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Len: Oh come on, I'm not totally oblivious you know.

Neru: You're not?

Len:... Point taken.

Neru: Fine, you got me. What now?

Len: *He leans over and kisses her before she could react. She doesn't pull away. Eventually Len breaks the kiss and sits back down*

Neru: *redder than thought humanly possible* W-WHAT THE H-HELL WAS T-THAT?

Len: you didn't turn away.

Neru: I- damn you, Len Kagamine. Really.

Len: You don't mean that.

Neru: No, I don't. *she looks at him intensely and he looks back. In Neru's words, shit was about to get real. Unfortunately a certain someone burst through the door and let out and unearthly squee*

Rin: YAY! I always thought you two would be cute together!

Neru: Fuck. She HAD to be the first person to find out.

Len: Could be worse, it could've been Miku.

Rin: Miku's nice! Don't say that about her!

Len: Yeah she is but she can't keep a secret worth shit!

Rin: Yeah, true. Oh! I almost forgot. Would you two like to join me for practice? We do have that concert coming up.

Neru: oh, damn it! I forgot about that! When is it?

Len: a week from today if I'm not mistaken?

Neru: That's not too bad. I should be ready.

Rin: Not if you don't practice! Now come on you two lovebirds, we've got work to do!

-Scene change-

*cut to Miku walking by herself around the area where the concert is supposed to take place*

Miku: *to herself* Everything is going perfectly to plan... Hm? *notices her phone buzzing* Rin... This is either very good or very bad.

*Miku slides open her phone and see's the words she had been hoping for- "Blondie's 1 & 2 are a go."*

Miku: Excellent! Phase one is complete!

Unknown: Phase one of what?

*Miku turns around to see Dell leaning against a tree in the shade with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.*

Miku: Dell? What are you doing here?

Dell: same as you probably. Just checkin the venue. So, I hear Neru and that Len kid are an item now? And I assume you had a hand in it?

Miku: Rin told you, right? And maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Dell: No need for the run around, Miku. I know you've been playing cupid lately. And you're good at it.

Miku: *surprised at the rare compliment from Dell* ok wise guy, why are you being so nice? This isn't like you.

Dell: What? Guy can't give a compliment now and then?

Miku: *stares at him suspiciously*

Dell: Damn, I guess there's no foolin' you. Alright, here's the thing. I know what you're trying to do with this whole concert thing, and it's pretty well laid out. My curiosity got the better of me last night while I was out with Haku. I just want to ask you to-

Miku: I have no idea what you're talking about. *cheery smile*

Dell: ...right. Forget I said anything. *he begins to walk away, the stops but does not turn around.* Miku, what if this doesn't work. What if it backfires?

Miku: *suddenly very somber* then I'm not sure.

Dell: I see. *continues walking away*

*dramatic pause*

Miku: *to herself* I suppose he has a point. I never really even considered failure until now. I guess there's no other way to find out than to go through with it I suppose.

*phone buzzes, and Miku quickly checks it. It was from Kaito. The message read: "Wanna grab coffee later? It would be nice to see you."*

Miku: *laughs at herself* I've spent so long playing cupid for others I forgot about myself...

*Miku puts her phone away. The concert was a week away; she had plenty of time to prepare, right? A little Miku time couldn't hurt, she reasoned*
