A/N: Enjoy~
Akaito decided to return the diary after dinner. He left it on his desk and went off for dinner.
There's no action he regretted more than that.
"Ah... Mikuo...?" Akaito started in a small voice.
"Hm?" Mikuo looked up at him. "Did you spoil the diary?"
"No..."
Mikuo heaved a sigh of relief a little too soon.
"... I lost it." Akaito hung his head in shame. He knew he betrayed Mikuo's trust. Even if Mikuo forgives him, he's not so sure he'll forgive himself...
"How?" Mikuo didn't want to scold Akaito. Not just then.
"I left it in my room and when I got back, it's gone."
"Any idea who might have taken it?"
"No..."
Mikuo walked out without a word.
Akaito found out that he cries pretty often ever since Mikuo came.
Mikuo bumped into Megurine Luka while he was looking for his diary.
"Oh, hi, Mikuo-kun," Luka said.
"Hello, Luka-san," Mikuo replied, worry written all over his face. "Did you happen to see a diary? It's blue and has light blue patterns on the cover."
"I think I saw Kaito holding it. He's at the living room right now."
"Okay, thanks!" Mikuo immediately ran towards the living room. Before he reached it, he heard Kaito's voice reading something.
"Kaito!" Mikuo shouted, running into the living room.
The man with blue hair was standing in front of some Vocaloids, reading Mikuo's diary out loud. "Oh, hello, Mikuo-kun. Just in time-"
Mikuo snatched the book from his hands. "What do you think you're doing?!"
"Having revenge on Akaito for that time when he revealed my collection of magazines. How does it concern you?" Kaito looked crossed. "I'm only starting. Now give it back."
"This is MY diary, not Akaito's!" Mikuo glared at Kaito. So Kaito thought it was Akaito's diary since it was in his room... That wasn't unreasonable, except for the fact that Akaito didn't look like one who'd keep a diary.
Mikuo left the living room as hurriedly as he came. He found Akaito still in his room from when he reported the diary as lost. The redhead was curled up into a ball on the floor.
"Akaito, I found it." Mikuo touched Akaito's shoulder. "It's okay now."
Akaito lifted his head, his eyes red and puffy from crying. "I'm so sorry, Kuo..."
"It's not your fault."
"It is. I put it there." Akaito said mournfully.
"If you say that again, I won't be your friend anymore." Mikuo grabbed Akaito's shoulders. "You hear?"
Akaito whimpered, then nodded.
"From now on you're only allowed to read my diary in my room."
"Okay." Akaito sniffed. "Will do."
Mikuo smiled. "It's settled, then."
"So... who took it?"
"You don't need to know." 'In case you kill your own brother.' Mikuo silently added.
