"Miku-sama, Miku-sama, it's time for breakfast." Miku heard Haku said and she softly tapped on her hand.
"Oh, I overslept?" Miku woke up and said. She then walked to her bathroom and washed her face.
Haku felt that Miku has changed a little, but she couldn't figure out what changed.
After that, Miku sat down and ate breakfast. Haku then said "Miku-sama, I have placed the roses in a vase as you requested."
"Thank you, you may go now." Miku said.
Click. There, Miku is alone in the room. She thought alot about Gakupo and the green-haired lady yesterday. No matter what reason, she couldn't convince herself that they aren't lovers. She walked to the balcony and saw Kaito doing the usual gardening, she just leaned on the parapet and watched silently.
Somehow, she feels happy just looking at him tending the flowers.
Kaito turned and looked up at her, their eyes met. Kaito smiled and wave, of course Miku did the same.
Kaito walked over to Miku and shouted "Wanna come down?"
"Ah, I can't" Miku said.
"Don't worry, it's just a little while." Kaito winked and said.
"I can't get down there from here, it's too high." Miku said.
"I'll catch you!" Kaito said and spreaded out his hands.
"Here I go!" Miku climbed up the parapet and jumped down. She softly landed on Kaito and he said "Wow, are you even eating? You're so skinny!"
"Really? Okay, I'll eat more from now on." Miku said and both of them laughed.
"Let's go out of the castle." Kaito said.
"I can't, people will recognize me." Miku said.
"Then.. I'll bring you to a place then. I'm sure you'll love it." Kaito said and pulled Miku's hand.
They went out of the castle using the back gate and outside was a forest. Kaito continues to lead Miku by her hand and brought her to a field filled with roses, blue roses.
"Here it is." Kaito said.
"Wow, did you grow all of them by yourself?" Miku said and she took a sniff on one of the roses.
"Yeah, I watered them with blur dyed water hoping that it'll grow out blue and it worked." Kaito said while laughing.
"Really? But this field is quite big, it's really beautiful." Miku said as a gust of wind blew and her teal hair complimented the blue rose petals that are flying.
Kaito blushed and looked away.
"I should get back, if Haku find out that I was gone, we'll be in trouble." Miku said.
"Ah, sure." Kaito said and they walked back to the castle together.
They reached the bottom and Miku said "Ah, it's too high, how am I going to get up there?"
Kaito took out some key's from his pocket and said "Haku gave me these bunch of keys, they are actually for me to store the gardening equipments, but they are alot of extra unnown keys. Maybe one of them is the key to your room?"
"I don't really know which one is my key.. GIve me all of it, I'll go up by the stairs and throw them down later." Miku said.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you so much." Kaito said.
"It's okay, I've been wanting to come out." Miku said and walked off.
She successfully sneaked back. She went to the balcony and threw down the keys.
"Kaito, thank you!" Miku smiled.
"Yeah, sure" Kaito said and smiles back and went home.
Kaito went home and his drunk sister, Meiko was in the living room. Kaito's house is just another typical villager's, with typical neighbors.
"How many time have I told you, don't drink at my house! Geez." Kaito complained as he cleaned up.
"I..I was soooo bored cuz Gumi-chan keep going to her boyfriend!" Meiko said.
"Gumi? Oh, the one with green hair?" Kaito said as he cleared the peanut shells.
"Yeah, her boyfriend is someone from.. the castle I think.." Meiko said and fell asleep.
Kaito sighed and cleared up the table. There was a knock on the door and Gumi bursted in shouting "Meiko! You here?" She saw Meiko drunk in the living room and said "Why are you drinking again? Oh, Kaito you're here too?"
"Well, this is my house." Kaito said.
"Oh yeah." Gumi then turned to Meiko and said "Meiko! Wake up! Let's go shopping! I've got money!"
"What? Where did you get them from?" Meiko said sleepily.
"My boyfriend!" Gumi said and smiled "He's so sweet and he buys me eveything I want!"
Then Kaito and Meiko just sitting there like listening to Gumi ranting about her boyfriend.
"Ok, just stop and go shopping okay?" Meiko said.
"Eh? Come with me!" Gumi said with a little squeal.
Meiko sat up, still sleepy and said "Ughh, let's go let's go. You just won't stop talking!"
"Ahaha, Meiko-chan, you're the best!" Gumi said and dragged Meiko out.
Kaito sighed and said "They're finally gone.."
Kaito looked outside and it's already afternoon, he went out to his backyard and watered the flowers. He noticed there were people hiding in the bushes and said "Come out you two."
The Kagamine twins jumped out and Rin said "Ah, not fun! Kaito nii-san caught us!" then Len laughed and said "Because you keep moving saying the leaves tickles you."
"Well, what are you two up to?" Kaito said.
Len then said "Nii-san! Our mother birthday is tomorrow, can you grow yellow roses?" Rin knodded and said "You already grew blue ones, you can grow yellow ones right?"
The twins looked up at Kaito with puppy eyes saying "RIght? Right?"
Kaito thought "Too cute.." and said "Ahh, of course! Anything for you two cuties."
The twins jumped happily and cheered.
"What with the noise early in the morning!" Someone shouted from the other side of the fence, it's Luka.
"It's already afternoon, Luka." Kaito said.
"Ahh? So fast? Who cares, I'm going to sleep!" Luka yawned and went off.
"Seriously.." Kaito face palmed and said.
"Yellow roses.. I'll have to look for Yellow dye." Kaito thought to himself.
"You two play by yourselves kay? I'll go find some yellow dye." Kaito said to the twins.
"Okay." They said and Kaito went to his room.
"Hmm Yellow dye, yellow dye." He thought to himself as he fumbled through his stuffs. He took out a bottle of yellow liquid and said "Ah, found it."
He opened the cap and submerged half of the stem of the rose in it, he left it on his table and went off.
The night fell and Meiko came back with bags of items.
"Why did you buy so much things?" Kaito said.
"Gumi won't stop shoving things on my hand saying it suits me, geez. She is so noisy, well she paid for me so yeah." Meiko said and put down the bags.
"Isn't she getting alittle bit too rich?" Kaito said.
"The money is obviously from her boyfriend, I wonder who it is." Meiko said.
"She didn't tell you after ranting so much about him?" Kaito said.
"Well, she only said he is from the castle. Who cares, I bought some dyes for you. They cost a little more but the colors are really pretty. Don't say that I'm a heartless sister, kay." Meiko said and handed him a bag of dyes.
"Ahh, thanks then." Kaito said. "Oh, I made dinner. You can go eat it."
Meiko went over and hugged Kaito while stroking his hair saying "Ahh, I'm really blessed to have a caring little brother to cook for me." Meiko said and laughed.
"It was for the dyes." Kaito said
"Well, well, thanks anyway." Meiko said and when to the dining room.
Kaito went back to his room and checked how the roses are doing.
"Ah, they're changing colours. I'm sure they'll turn out fine during the morning." Kaito thought to himself.
Then he said to himself "I wonder if Miku will like them.." then he prepared extras for Miku.
The next day, Kaito sneaked to the twin's backyard and was caught by Luka.
"What are you doing? You pervert!" Luka said.
"Woahh, I am delivering roses for those twins! It's your mother's birthday and they requested yellow roses." Kaito explained.
"Eh? It's mother's birthday? Ahh! I totally forgot, I'll call out those brats for you."
Luka went in and after awhile the twins came running and Kaito said "Here, yellow roses." and handed it to them.
Both of them stared at the roses with amazement and Rin said "Wow, it's really pretty!" then Len said "Yeah, just like mother's hair!"
"I'm sure she'll love it." Kaito said.
Both of them thanked Kaito and ran off. Kaito went back and he packed the extra yellow roses he prepared for Miku.
He headed off to the castle as saw Miku leaning against the parapet. She spotted him and waved.
Kaito waved and said "Miku, I grew these Yellow roses. They're for you!"
"Really? Thank you!" Miku said and smiled.
"I'll just grow them in the garden, kay?" Kaito said.
"Sure!" Miku said.
She spend the rest of the day watching Kaito tending the flowers. During break time, Kaito would sit below and Miku would lean over the parapet and chat. Days went by and they spend everyday talking like this.
Somehow for Miku, her days had so much more meaning now. Everyday, Kaito would bring different colours of roses and leave them below the balcony and talk to Miku. After Kaito goes home, Miku will tell Haku the stories Kaito told her about the town. Haku was very happy that Miku is starting to eat alot and smiling more often.
The meeting of Miku and Kaito was not coincidence, it was fate that brought those two together.
Notice the 'he' and 'boyfriend' of Gumi's is italic. Well, I guess it's obvious you all know who he is. Will not give out spoilers! But this story is going to end sad, all I can say.
Sorry if there's any spelling errors. I can't read well (ikr), but yeah. Enjoy the story and give me reviews on anything characters you want me to mention more on. :D
