"Miku Miku, I love you Alex!" Miku happily declared while clinging to his arm. Alex on the other hand was working on an advertisement in his room.
"Miku, I love you too...but I am busy right now. I don't say this a lot but mind giving me a moment to work?" He asked. Miku pouted but then realized it was important. The advertisement was for the Kagamine Twins and their appearance at an american convention for a small concert. As she walked down the stairs, she caught her eye on Gumi walking by.
"Gumi! Wanna go swim at the pool?" she asked.
"Sorry Miku. I am helping the twins at the moment to choose their songs and outfits accordingly. Though Luka may be free." She pointed to the arcade room down the hall. Miku hurried and approached Luka who was enjoying the competition on the big screen. Neru, Haku, Ritsu and Teto were all playing some kind of party game.
"Hey Luka! Are you free?" she asked. Luka turned and noticed Miku.
"Kind of. Come and watch this game with me. They really are looking competitive." Luka pointed as Neru and Haku were the last two on a four player battle mini game. In the end, Haku one. Miku found it a tad boring to watch people.
"Come with me Luka. I want to go swimming!" she said like a child. Luka questioned why she wanted to swim.
"Huh? Can't you swim by yourself?" she looked over at the players and then spoke in her ear quietly.
"Or did you want to swim with Alex?" Miku felt shocked that she was that transparent.
"W-well...he is busy with the ad for the American convention." Miku quietly played with her fingers.
"If it's alright, I could swim with you." Mikuo came from out of no where and stood between them. Miku promptly smacked him in the head with her leek.
"Shut up! This is a talk between Luka and I!" She puffed her cheeks in anger just as Mikuo rolled out of their way.
"Sorry to of offered my assistance, Miku." He looked away, and acted depressed. Luka soon saw what Miku did not.
"Why don't you let him swim with you Miku?" Luka asked. The two of them dropped their jaw.
"NO WAY! Mikuo is a perv!"
"Hell no! Miku thinks I'm a Perv!" Surprisingly the two had a similar mindset. Luka giggled at them.
"Whatever. I'll go with you both then. We can have a small pool party."
Once they were at the pool, the three were ready to relax. Miku sulked under the water as Mikuo swam around.
"Come on Miku. Enjoy yourself." Mikuo said. Miku looked over at Luka who was relaxing for the moment.
"Mikuo. I wanted to swim with Alex." she responded with a now serious frown. Mikuo kept his distance to keep talking.
"Alex is working hard for us all. Sometimes he will be busy and can not play with you or the rest." Mikuo spoke. Miku on the other hand splashed Mikuo.
"Hey!" Mikuo dove in after her and started to have a splash fight between them. Miku was giggling as Mikuo chuckled. Suddenly, Miku halted and got out of the pool to dry herself off.
"Something the matter?" Mikuo asked.
"I just remembered that I didn't play with Rizumu yet." Miku quickly responded as she left the pool. Luka caught wind of her departure and looked at Mikuo who started to float on his back.
"What can I do Luka? Miku is always depressed when she is not with Alex and Alex works for our own cause. Not to mention when I help her she responds in the weirdest way. Am I doing it all wrong?" Luka listened and then explained the problem better.
"Miku is attached to Alex like a loving wife for a human is. Even though she knows she is not real, Alex acknowledges her existence as being real enough to love. If anything, she wants to spend her time with Alex a lot. Anytime you offer to make her smile, she wants to reject because you are not Alex. It's odd though because aren't you like Miku but male?" While Luka spoke, Mikuo got out of the pool to dry himself off.
"Yeah. I can feel how Miku feels anytime. I know where she could be if I wanted to look for her. So in truth, when she is sad, I can tell easily...and she is just lonely at the moment." As Mikuo headed out, he looked to Luka.
"By the way...I do not know if I should tell you this, but when Alex and Miku's relation end I will be there to mend the wounds for both of them."
He walked down the hall, ended up discussing something with Kaito before encountering Miku again. This time, she was back in her normal clothes and looked angry.
"What's wrong?" Mikuo asked. Miku said nothing as she walked off and into Alex's room. Mikuo on the other hand went back to his room to change.
Miku took the time to try and tell Alex what she wanted.
"Okay Miku. You and Alex need to take the next step...Just ask him to have intercourse with you and everything will be perfect." Miku thought in her head and then began her plan.
"Alex? Are you free to talk?" she asked. Alex turned around and looked at Miku.
"Sure. What did you need?" Miku played with her hair and then her hands, trying to assemble the words.
"Alex...I- I mean we- well I wanted to know if you wanted...to have-umm..." She struggled with all her might to ask. Her strength to say what was on her mind forcing it's way through.
"I want to have sex with you!" Miku said as blunt as possible. When she looked at Alex once more, he was gone! She turned her head to the door and noticed Alex accepting a box from Neru. As he turned to face Miku, he asked her...
"Sorry. Neru gave me some spare parts. You were saying?" Alex didn't even hear her words! She ran out of the room in both sorrow and anger. As she entered her shared room, Mikuo was putting his vest back on for his normal outfit. Miku tackled Mikuo on the floor and began producing tears.
"Mikuo! Tell Alex I want to do him!" Miku cried as she shook Mikuo wildly.
"Hold on! What do you mean?" It wasn't until he read her emotion that he understood.
"Alex didn't hear you...right?" Mikuo asked. Miku, kind enough to get off of Mikuo, nodded. As the two sat on the edge of the bed, Mikuo tried to calm her down.
"Miku. Sometimes the worst can happen at moments when you do your best. So just keep trying till he hears it. Take it easy and rest here until you feel better. Let me tell-" Miku grabbed his pant leg as he was about to leave.
"Don't go." Her only words as Mikuo sat back down.
"Miku. Don't you want Alex to know you are okay?" he asked.
"Kind of, but I just want a moment of peace." Miku replied. Mikuo thought for the moment and began humming a soothing tune for Miku as he sat next to her. Miku lightly rested her head on his shoulder as Mikuo sang. Mikuo had time to ask her after things were calmer.
"Miku...if anything ever happens and you need someone to cry on, would you come to me?" He asked. Miku sighed.
"Mikuo. I don't hate you but whenever I see you I feel awkward because...well you are a Male me. Maybe if I just try and ignore that then I can see what makes you unique." Miku responded but did not answer his question. Just then, Alex opened the door.
"Hey Miku. I'm sorry if I was ignoring you. Work gets in the way a lot." He spoke, seeing the two together. Miku got up and trotted over to Alex.
"Are you done with work? Can we play?" Miku changed her mood completely now that Alex returned.
"Sure, just head down to the Rec Room and I will meet you there." Miku heard the instruction and headed off. Alex turned to Mikuo and gave a warm smile.
"Thank you. I wish I could be with Miku more often but with so many vocaloids and songs coming in and out, it really keeps me busy. I do not think I am fit enough to be with Miku." And right then and there, Mikuo felt stunned.
"W-what?! But you and Miku-" He was silenced as Alex talked over.
"I am a human and my life span is very short. I do love Miku but if I want to make her happy, I feel as if I need to let her go sometime soon." His eyes drew heavy.
"Alex..." No more words spoke between them as he left to play with Miku. Mikuo, hearing this from Alex of all people, felt as if Miku might break under his choice. Deep inside, Mikuo would not allow Miku to cry until she shatters her voice.
"If Alex makes her cry...I will not forgive him." He quietly spoke to himself.
As the days passed on, the morning of an important day came. Miku, so eager to start today, started hopping on Alex's bed to wake him.
"Wakey Wakey Alex! Miku Miku!" She cried with such a loud and obnoxious voice. Alex groggily tried to speak.
"Miku, five more minutes..." He said. Miku puffed her cheeks in anger.
"You forgot what day it was?" Miku asked. Alex looked over at the calander.
"May...tenth?" saying it out loud, Alex got up with speed.
"It's our anniversary already?!" Alex stated as he got up and quickly took a shower. Miku giggled as she waited on his bed in her normal outfit for the time.
"Yeah. Tonight I have a special gift to give to you after the party." Miku said to Alex which made him question the gift.
"Well keep it a surprise for me. " He smiled back to Miku. The two headed downstairs where they passed Ruko, Kaito and Meiko working in the kitchen over something that Miku had to shield his eyes from as they walked out the main doors and to a small car.
"So where to?" Alex got in the driver's seat. Miku happily hopped on the passenger side.
"Let's just drive for a bit!" This made Alex shrug. He drove off and took his time driving down the road. The windows rolled down and listening to some vocaloid music. This one being more country styled. The two began to talk to one another.
"Miku. I thought about getting you a gift for today but the problem was finding a gift perfect for you." Alex admitted.
"It's alright Alex. I do not mind it at all. You do so much for us and ask for little in exchange. Any gift you give me would be fine." Miku reminded him as they pulled up to a parking space to overlook the water. The sound of the ocean and the birds felt soothing for the time.
"So when exactly are we allowed back home?" Alex asked.
"I believe around five or so?" Miku slowly leaned her head on Alex's shoulder to look at the water from the car. Alex patted her head and then placed an arm around her waist as they sat there.
"I know I sound like a broken record but I am thankful that you came into my life. Music has been more than just a job. It's a passion." He said as Miku kissed his cheek.
"Say it as many times as you want. We all know it and we love that you never forget." Her smile made Alex smile back at her.
"Then let me say that I still love you Miku." Alex said back. After taking their time to see the sights, they stopped by a nearby plaza area where Miku begged Alex for a waffle to eat. Even though they would have a big meal at home. Alex went ahead and bought Miku a novelty toy from a nearby store. As cheap as it was, Miku didn't mind at all with it. The day they spent seemed so perfect.
As they came home on the night, they were greeted with the household celebrating their first year of being together. The grand meal laid before them but before that, they had small presents from the others.
"Miku Miku...this is a lot." Miku looked at the envelopes and small boxes.
"Yeah. Y-you guys didn't have to get us this much." Alex agreed with Miku, but Rin convinced them.
"Don't be like that. It's the first anniversary for you two! We can spoil you this one time." She said while handing Miku a small box. Opening it revealed matching wrist bands made of stainless gold and with Miku's name in Hiragana and Alex's in Katakana.
"Thanks Rin, Len." Miku happily replied as she placed Alex's bracelet on for him. Then again, they never really wore rings at all by this point. Partly because Alex knew it was impossible to have a legal marriage with a machine. Though possible, that just meant the wedding would be private.
"See? Now no one can take you away from me!" Miku snapped Alex out of his mind as she tackled him in joy.
"Miku, we got more gifts." Alex struggled to get Miku off as they went through the gifts. Mainly cards and one including a honeymoon nudge from Kaito and Meiko. And as they were about to eat, Alex pulled out another box.
"We missed one guys." this box was smaller than the rest and yet no one but Alex knew about it.
"Wait...you actually got Miku something?" Teto asked. Alex nodded as he turned to Miku.
"Miku. I actually planned this gift months ahead. I took much time and effort to figure out the best gift to show my love for you. So what better gift than this." As he opened the box, the room was just stunned over what they saw.
It was a ring that had a Quaver musical note style. In the round portion was a gem that was colored green on top and white on the bottom like a leek. The ring itself was made of stainless silver. Not only that but the ring itself had a secret message in the gem. Miku held the ring up to the light and started to tear up in joy over the message.
'Even when I am gone, I am right here with you.' she couldn't even say a single letter as she put the ring on her hand, hugged Alex lightly and started to sob on his shoulder.
"W-was it bad?" Alex asked as Miku talked through her sob.
"No. I-i have no words for it...Thank You is not enough to share how much this makes me happy..." She then went back to her crying fit until Ruko entered the room.
"Food's ready." And instantly, Miku switched her mood to keep herself from crying at the table. Just as Alex was to follow, his phone rang.
"Yes? This is Alex." His Japanese improve ever so slightly but still failed to pronounce the language right.
"Oh...can it wait till-oh. I see. Yes, I will tell them." Alex hung up and looked over at the androids he called family.
"I'm sorry everyone. I was called in by Miku's Father to a meeting. I might be there till later this night so...don't worry about waiting." Alex frowned but Miku gave him a boost.
"It's alright Alex. I can give you my gift tomorrow!" and with that, Alex left the house to meet with the people behind the family...
As the night came, Miku decided to sleep in her room as she looked up at the ring she had. Miku gave a light sigh as she looked over at Mikuo who was working on some lyrics before hitting his bed.
"Mikuo, get some sleep. We got a lot of work tomorrow as it is." Miku told him but his attention turned to Miku.
"I'm sorry Miku, but I just need to finish this." he told her. Miku got up and looked over his shoulder.
"Please Mikuo. Get some sleep. We can finish this tomorrow." That is until Mikuo looked over at Miku again.
"Miku, I know what you want from Alex...and I do not think it will happen." Miku heard his words and puffed his cheeks.
"You are just mad that Alex is the head of the house. Besides, Alex is always kind and caring for me. He would tell me if he wanted to-" Miku was silenced as Mikuo swiftly pushed Miku on the bed. Pinning her on her back.
"Miku. Quit hiding it. You need to salt your urges and I am here for you right now." Mikuo was getting aggressive now.
"M-mikuo...no. I-i just wanted to make Alex happy." Mikuo scoff at her attitude.
"Are you happy with waiting for that day Alex will finally admit he wants sex with you?" Mikuo flat out asked her. Miku blushed and tried to hide her face.
"No! I was going to give it to him as his gift!" Miku replied.
"We may be androids, but we have human wants and needs...and your need is to be pleased." Mikuo managed to turn down Miku's volume as his to prevent too much noise getting through. He started with giving Miku a kiss.
"Miku?!" She frighteningly exclaimed. Mikuo then told her.
"There is a reason I was made besides music. It's to be your real significant other..." He replied. Miku didn't know what to do by this point. She tried to talk her way out of this.
"No! Alex is mine! Don't do this Mikuo!" but Mikuo did not reply. Instead he started to untie her tie to let her clothes become more loose.
"Miku. Please accept this as a way to calm your urges. If you keep putting them off like this, it will be bad for your system. I am doing it for both Alex and your own good. Besides..." Mikuo leaned in closer to Miku's ear.
"I can sense that you were excited just from the way I tackled you."
Miku tried as hard as she could to stop this, but all that would happen was her own urges would overcome. Throughout the night, Miku thought about what would happen. It did feel good to finally have sex, but her first was not Alex. She felt ashamed to even look at Alex the next time she saw him.
"I'm sorry Alex..." Miku quietly said when she was finally allowed to sleep. Who knows how long that session lasted?
The following morning, breakfast was served like normal. Mikuo and Miku walked downstairs but Miku lagged behind. Mikuo looked up.
"Come on Miku. Let's get some food." Mikuo said. Miku looked away.
"I can't see Alex. Not like this." but sure enough when she turned to go up the stairs, Alex was just coming down. Her eyes were wide as she noticed Alex looking back at her.
"Hey Miku. Sorry I was not home last night. The meeting went on longer than intended and I missed the bus." He scratched his head. He had no idea what happened last night between Miku and Mikuo...but she soon tossed the feeling aside to give Alex a tight hug.
"Miku Miku, I am happy you came home saftely." she said. Though Alex went on ahead, Miku looked at Mikuo. She wanted to be disgusted by the 'Rape' from last night but in a sense, she was saved by Mikuo if she kept holding back on engaging Alex in intercourse. For since this morning, she felt refreshed.
The problem she now faced is how to live with the fact that she gave her first to Mikuo and not Alex? The ring that Alex gave her was proof of his eternal love, but would it still mean something in the end?
