Short, pointless chapter! :D


Meiko woke up, and immediately ran to the bathroom to throw up in the toilet. After washing her mouth out multiple times she went to go back to bed, and that's when she noticed the blue-clad figure asleep in the chair beside it.

"K-Kaito?" At the sound of Meiko's voice he woke up.

"Good afternoon, sleepyhead."

"What are you doing in here, you perv?" she said, trying to cover up how embarrassed she was that he had seen her in such a mess.

"Just checking up on you." Kaito smiled as he stood up. "What was it this time?"

"What do you mean, 'this time'? I always get drunk; you know that better than almost anyone."

"Yeah, but not like this." He gently wrapped his arms around her, which just made her blush.

"Oh, you know… everything." She sighed and hugged him back. "I just always feel so useless. Almost no one uses my voicebank anymore… it's all 'Miku this' and 'Len that'."

"And?" Kaito prompted her. "What else?"

"And I feel so guilty about abandoning everyone… they're supposed to look up to me, especially the young ones, but I just… I go and do stuff like this. And then because of the guilt I get drunker, which makes me guiltier, which makes me drunker. It's a vicious cycle."

"Anything more?"

"And… and…" she began, but then sunk down to the bed, her head in her hands. "I can't say it."

He sat down beside her. "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"No, I really can't." she sighed, looking away from him.

"Why not?" he asked slightly hurt. What can't she tell me?

"Because I just can't!" Meiko got up to look out the window. In the yard below her room Yuki and Gacha played tag while Luka and Gakupo looked on. The pinkette's unmistakable smile made Meiko envious.

Kaito joined her. "Remember when it was just the five of us?" he sighed. "Just you, me, Leon, Lola and Miriam. No snobby teenagers or whining toddlers, no fanmades, or genderbends, or ships…" Meiko laughed mercilessly.

"Shut up about shipping, okay? I don't want to hear anything about it." She turned away from him, arms crossed.

"Meiko, why can't you tell me what's wrong?"

"Because it's about you, BaKaito!" she turned to yell at him. And then she began to cry. "It's always KaiMiku, KaiMiku, KaiMiku! And when it's not that it's KaiMiki, or Kaikupo, or KaiLen… we were released as a pair! Doesn't that mean anything anymore?"

"That's what this is about?" Kaito laughed, and put a hand on Meiko's shoulder. "Shipping doesn't mean anything. You should know that." He gestured out the window. "Take Luka for example. She knows that Gakupo is paired with Gumi, and Piko, and Len… but she just lets his actions speak for him, not the fanbase." As if it was part of Kaito's explanation, Gakupo picked a flower and placed it in Luka's hair, and in return she gave him a peck on the cheek while Yuki and Gacha shrieked, "Ewww! Cooties!"

"Why are you telling me this?" Meiko asked flatly. The afternoon sun peeked through the shutters and reflected in her brown eyes in a way that Kaito couldn't describe with words. So instead he kissed her. Meiko started blushing furiously.

"Does that answer your question?" Kaito grinned. "Baka Meiko."


Idk I felt like writing something but it came out rather crappy. This is probably the worst fluff I have ever written :P

But I did sort of like where he turned the phrase 'BaKaito' back on Meiko... cute :3

I think next chapter we'll get to see Sonika! :D
