Chapter 2
I jump onto Mikuo again and we tumble down onto his lawn. I hold him down by his shoulders and he doesn't struggle, he just smiles at me. We were both out of breath from our run. I get off and roll over onto the grass next to him.
"Well you caught me, but you didn't beat me." Mikuo states. I turn my head to the right so I could look at him.
"So? Give me my scarf!" I declare.
"Hm…No. I'm going to keep it for a few days then you can have it back, you loser," He smiles again. I let out and irritated sigh.
"Fine. But if you ruin it I'll ruin your face!" We both burst out laughing. He sits up and looks around. I sit up as well and attempt to take my scarf back but Mikuo saw it coming and grabbed my hand and pushed it back towards me.
"Nice try, Aku," He looks at me and I meet his green eyes. I always seem to get lost in them and can never look away. "Come on, let's go inside." He stands up and I quickly get up after him.
I follow him inside and we pass Miku who was sitting on the couch talking on the phone. She waves "Hello" and I wave back. Mikuo and I enter the kitchen where he begins to look through cabinets.
"What would you like, Akaito?" Mikuo asks me.
"Well, just some crackers will do, I guess," I had eaten right before I had left my house. He grabs a bag from inside of the cabinet and tosses it to me. I catch it and open it and begin eating the lightly salted crackers.
"Come on. Let's go to my room." Mikuo walks out of the kitchen and I instinctively follow the short teenager. We walk up the stairs and down the hall. I knew the way because I have been here numerous times in the past. We enter his room and I head to his desk and sit in the chair as usual while I watch Mikuo look in the drawer of his nightstand. I felt my feelings for him boil up again and I had to suppress them. It's true; I'm in love with him. Since 1st grade, when I knew what he was really like. I never told him because I was afraid that he wouldn't return my feelings and that he would stop being my friend because I'm gay. I stand up slowly so he won't notice and I set the bag of crackers down gently and I jump onto his back and reach around and begin to tickle him. "What the-"
Mikuo begins to laugh and squirm as I continue to tickle him. I didn't want to stop but I had to control my arousal and all of his squirming didn't help so I released him.
"Have you found it yet?" I ask.
"No. Maybe if you stop acting like a child for two minutes I would find it quicker." He replies.
"You're no fun, Ku," I complain. He returns to digging through the drawer and I get up off of the floor.
"Here it is," he exclaims. He gets up and sits on his bed patting it signaling for me to sit next to him. I sit next to him and pull out my schedule from my black and red coat.
"So we have first together. What do you have second?" I ask. He glances at the piece of paper in his hand.
"I have Biology."
"Me too!"
"What about third?" he asks.
"Music." I reply.
"Same here!" We high five. "What do you have fourth?"
"Trigonometry…"
"Oh, I have art." He replies looking disappointed. I was half hoping and half dreading that he would have the same fifth.
"What do you have fifth, Ku?"
"I have," He glances back down at the paper. "Gym." I feel my heart skip a beat.
"Me t-too." I stutter.
"Great! We have most of our classes together!"
"Mikuo!" We turn back to the doorway where Miku had appeared.
"What is it Mi?" Mikuo asks.
"I'm going to Rin's house. I'll be back later, 'kay?"
"Okay. If Kaito is still there tell him Akaito is spending the night here." He replies. I look at him a bit curious.
"I am?" I ask.
"Of course. I rented more movies. Also, today is the last Saturday before we go back to school."
"Mikuo, we should invite everyone and have a sleepover!" Miku replies excitedly.
"That's a good idea, Mi. You go ahead and tell them. Akaito and I will go down to the store and get some snacks." Mikuo answers.
"Okay, Mikuo. See you in a bit."
When Mikuo and I arrived back at his house we were greeted by the rest of the Vocaloids. Miku, Kaito, Len, Rin, Gakupo, and Meiko had all arrived and were huddled in the living room.
"About time Mikuo! Everyone is hungry," Miku comes up to Mikuo and takes the bags from him and puts the food on the coffee table in the center of the living room. Rin and Len immediately rip open the bags of chips while Kaito takes an ice-cream sandwich. Meiko, Gakupo and Miku take a soda while Mikuo takes a candy bar and I grab another bag of crackers. I sit on the couch next to Mikuo. We had to sit close together to make room for Miku as well. On the other couch were Kaito, Gakupo and Meiko. Rin and Len were sitting on the floor intently eating their chips. I put my arm on the arm rest not really paying attention to the conversation that had sparked up. I found myself staring at Mikuo. He was looking away from me towards the rest of the gang. My eyes begin to trace his jaw and his neck. I stopped myself before I could get too carried away. I look passed him and see Kaito looking at me. He knew my secret. He told me to tell Mikuo how I felt. I was going to tell him but my fear wouldn't let me so I just stayed silent.
I catch Kaito's eyes and they asked one question; "Did you tell him?"
I nod my head "no" and he simply nods his head too and looks back at me with another question; "Why the hell does he have your scarf?"
I smile and I feel my face heat up a little. He rolls his eyes at me and returns to the conversation. I lean forward and whisper into Mikuo's ear "Let's just hope your sister doesn't decide to play some stupid party games."
He leans back towards me with his head resting on my chest and he turns to look up at me.
"Don't remind her. I really dislike the idea," he answers. I simply chuckle at his response. Mikuo continues leaning against me. I sit back all the way and he simple moves back to resting his head against my chest.
"So, are you tired?" I ask, slightly amused.
"Yup, I'm tired. Tired of you," he replies, sarcasm edging his voice.
"Yeah, very funny, Ku," I answer.
"Miku! We should play a game!" I look at Rin who had said that.
"Oh no," I whisper to Mikuo.
"Well, at least it wasn't Miku," he whispers back.
"I fail to see how that makes a difference," I reply.
"What should we play?" Miku asks Rin.
"We should play Truth or Dare!" Meiko shrieks.
"Really, Meiko? Truth or Dare?" Kaito complains.
"I'm going upstairs. I just remembered I needed to talk to Akaito," Mikuo says. "Come on, Akaito."
"Okay," I get up after him.
"You're no fun, Mikuo!" Miku complains.
"Yeah! What if Akaito wants to play?" Rin replies.
"Don't worry, we'll come back. Maybe for a round or two," I tell Rin.
"Come on, Akaito," Mikuo urges.
"Okay. I'm coming."
