I'm… I'm in love with Kamui Gakupo. Yes, that's it.
The way he smiles just melts me. If he stares at me, I have to break the gaze to look down and blush. And when he takes my hand, I just want to make a little 'squee' noise… Yup. I'm blushing thinking that.
But when we dance together, it seems completely natural, like we've been partners forever. Each motion is completely normal to me, and it doesn't embarrass me that he has his hand on my waist, or that I rest my head on his chest. We're the best partners I've ever seen.
I pulled my clothes on that morning. I smiled as I recalled last night. I realized that it was already five thirty. I ran over to the kitchen, muttering curses under my breath that I was late. I eat breakfast early because I get all the good cereals, and I get to be alone. I've always preferred the company of no one over the company of others. I poured some honey nut Cheerios into my bowl and poured in milk after that. I grabbed a spoon and sat down to eat. I was alone with nothing to do at the table, so I pulled out my drawing notebook. I looked over the sketches of my friends that I made so far. I was surprised to say that they actually looked decent. I was torn away from my thoughts by a hand on my shoulder.
"So, you like to get up early, too?" Gakupo said, smiling. I smiled and nodded. "Yes, I think it's a great time to have some alone time. But now we can be alone together, right?" I nodded and smiled at him. Little did he know, my thump-thumping heart was about to explode. Gakupo let go of my shoulder and went to get cereal. "It seems we both like honey nut Cheerios." He laughed. I smiled even wider. I loved being in his presence.
The second Gakupo sat down with his breakfast, Kagamine Rin and Len barreled into the room. "I call the last bagel!" Rin screeched.
"No, I do!" Len yelled back. I saw Gakupo's left eye twitch out of the corner of my eye, and stifled a laugh. Gakupo turned around and faced the twins. I heard one of them audibly gulp.
"Be quiet, would you? Most of the others are still sleeping. Do you want to wake Meiko up?" he asked threateningly. The twins hastily shook their heads and scurried off, splitting the bagel in half. I looked at Gakupo in amusement when he sat down.
"So, are you the voice of reason around here?" I asked. "Or do those two just really annoy you?"
"Meiko has to be the head here. And the twins don't annoy me. They're just…loud in inopportune moments." I nodded in understanding.
The other Vocaloids arrived for breakfast. Kaito pulled out a Klondike bar. "Kaito, that's unhealthy." Miku took the bar. Kaito sighed and began to make scrambled eggs.
Luka quickly ate her breakfast and rushed over to me. "Good morning," she said, smiling.
"Good morning to you too." I returned the gesture. "Um… Did you want to talk?"
"Actually, yeah," she replied. "Do you want to go to my room?" I nodded, and she led me to her room.
Her room was filled to the brim with any kind of book. Drawing notebook, writing notebook, novel, you name it. I leaned up against the wall and she took a seat on her bed. "You can sit," she offered. I thanked her and moved next to her on the bed.
"Okay…" Luka inhaled. "First off. What do you think of the Vocaloids so far?"
"Everyone's really nice," I answered. "You've all been so nice, especially you, Miku, Kaito, and Gakupo… The only person that seems to have it out for me is Gumi…"
"That's to be expected." Luka laughed bitterly. "She despises anyone who so much as stands within five feet of Gakupo, let alone dance with him. Which, actually, is what I was getting to. What do you think of Gakupo?" I felt myself involuntarily blush.
"Well, he's really kind. He seems to be serious and likes to be alone, and that's pretty much me. Aside from personality," I lowered my voice to a whisper, "he's pretty hot…"
Luka laughed. "You're not the only one who thinks that," she said. I looked at her in shock.
"You dated Gakupo?" I said, bewildered. She nodded.
"We broke up after a while. Gumi was trying to interfere, and it was stressful, and yeah… We kind of realized that we weren't meant for each other, so we split up." I felt myself get a little angry at Gumi. She was proving to be someone that I really didn't like. I could also tell that there was something Luka wasn't telling ne, however. I decided not to press on and got up.
"Thanks so much for talking," I said with a smile. "Can we do this more often? It's really nice."
"Certainly!" she replied. "See you around!"
"Same to you!" With that, I closed the door.
I laid clothes out for my dance class tomorrow. I lay down on my bed.
Later that day, Gakupo asked me if we could dance together again. I gladly agreed. I pulled on my dance clothes, and put an orange skirt over my black pants tonight. We met in his room and began to dance.
Dancing with Gakupo was the most relaxing thing in the world. I moved in time to the silent music, and swayed with Gakupo. I rested my head on his chest, just as I had done last night. Swaying and twirling, we choreographed a beautiful dance.
This time, Gakupo did speak. "Merodii?" he asked. I looked up at him. "Would you mind being my assistant?"
I smiled. "Of course not. It would be an honor."
Gumi watched the two dance, seething with anger. "Gakupo is mine," she hissed. She used to be his dance partner, before Merodii came along. "And nothing will change that."
A/N: By the way, Merodii means 'melody' in Japanese. :) I'll be writing stories for the other two results as well. This one will be about 4 to 5 chapters.
