Unlikely Companions (pt. 2)

Yukari slowly blinked her eyes open and stared at the ceiling. This would have been normal, but Yukari soon realized that she wasn't looking at her own ceiling. "Where am I?" she thought to herself.

Her head ached and the taste of alcohol lingered in her mouth. Had she gotten drunk? Why? She had so many questions and the pounding in her head wasn't helping her work out the answers.

Yukari was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed Meiko staring at her from the next room. For the first time in her life Meiko was worried about how someone would react to having sex with her.

Meiko had had sex with many of the vocaloids but none of them were like this. For starters, up until last night, Meiko had only slept with guys and none of them were as innocent as Yukari. None of those nights had ever meant anything. They were just drunken one might stands that were never spoken of again. This had meant more to her. She didn't want this to be forgotten about. There was something about Yukari that she just couldn't resist. Maybe it was the insecure way she carried herself, or her naive way of looking at the world, or maybe her adorable awkwardness. Whatever it was it made Meiko melt on the inside. Meiko watched silently as Yukari sat up.

"What happened last night?" Yukari muttered aloud to herself. Instinctively she looked for her hoodie but it was no where to be found. The rest of her clothing seemed to be scattered around the floor. She quickly got dressed. Yukari decided the best thing to do would be to leave and figure this whole mess out when he got home and could think straight.

As Yukari turned around she found herself eye to eye with Meiko, still watching from the next room. Suddenly, things began to make sense. Images of alcohol, and laptops filled her mind. The taste of booze in her mouth, the soreness in her hips and genitals, it all fell into place.

Yukari felt her face go red. "Oh god..." she thought to herself.

Meiko stared intently at the girl, waiting for a reaction. She could tell Yukari was trying to hide her feelings, but she could see regret in her eyes. Meiko smiled internally. "So this is what it feels like to get your heart broken..." she thought.

Yukari stood there, unable to breathe or think, or speak. Her face was a puddle of embarrassment and her mind was an ocean of hungover confusion. She had slept with Meiko. She had lost her virginity to someone she had known for less than a day. Words could not describe the range of emotions she was feeling.

Meiko sighed, "If you want to forget this ever happened I totally understand."

Yukari shook her head. She wasn't sure what she wanted but, that definitely wasn't it. Yukari tried to put coherent sentences together in her mind. She drifted off into a daydream.

Meiko saw Yukari's face take on a dreamy look. What was going on? Was she about to pass out?

"It was fantastic," Yukari muttered, obviously forgetting Meiko was standing across from her.

Meiko turned a little red herself. Yukari clasped her hands over her mouth. Had she really just said that? Was she still drunk? What the hell was wrong with her?

"Yukari, I don't know where you want to go with this but, I don't want to lose you," Meiko said quietly.

"Meiko I-I-I don't know what I want!" Yukari said, rubbing her temples, "This is all so new to me! As you could probably tell I'm not an expert in this kind if thing..."

Meiko closed her eyes and stifled a sigh. This wasn't going well. "What did I expect?" she thought to herself. Meiko squinted her eyes shut, surprised that she felt tears in them. She should have been prepared for this to happen. Yukari was rejecting her, and who could blame her.

Yukari looked at Meiko. A wave of impulsiveness took over her, she ran toward Meiko and kissed her.

Meiko opened her eyes, shocked. She relaxed into the kiss. As they broke for air, their eyes locked and everything was understood.

Yukari and Meiko were together. Words weren't needed, only actions. Words only muddled and confused. Actions were clear an concise. Decisions could be made, wars started and feelings could be emerged with a simple kiss. This was a moment where the planets aligned and everything was ok. It was a moment when Meiko was more than "that drunk vocaloid" and Yukari was more than a wallflower, whose soft voice and subtle clothing easily faded into the background. They made each other more. And all was perfect.
