A/N: I bet someone's waiting for this! :D

"Another duet with Akaito?" Mikuo sipped his tea.

"Well, they liked your cover of LNGN." Miku smiled. "So? How's it sound?"

"I'm fine with it." Mikuo shrugged, putting down his cup of tea. "I'm done with lazing around all day anyway."

"Okay! So this time you're doing a cover of Magnet! For real!"

"Why am I not surprised?" Mikuo rolled his eyes.

"You'll take the job?" Miku's eyes widened in shock.

"I suppose I can do that."

"You're dating him aren't you?!" Miku pointed an accusing finger at her brother. "That's why you accept the job with no problem! I never expected that my little brother-"

"It's just a song." Mikuo looked away. "It doesn't mean anything. The same as when you and Luka-san first sang it."

Miku nodded, cooling off. "I suppose so... Drawn to each other like Magnets... How romantic..."

"Magnets repel, too," Mikuo reminded her.

Miku pretended not to hear. "Anyway, good luck with telling Akaito the news. Bye!" Miku shot off in an instant.

"... Akaito didn't know?" Mikuo blinked. He then sighed and went to Akaito's room. He knocked on the door. "Akaito, you there? I have news..."

The door opened a little and Akaito peeked out. "Why are you torturing me this early in the morning?"

"It's afternoon, Akaito. You spent the whole night playing games again, didn't you?"

Akaito pouted. "And I kept losing. What is it?" He opened the door further.

"We're doing a cover of Magnet."

Akaito slammed the door and screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the top of his lungs.

Mikuo felt pity for the redhead. "Well, do remember to practice."

"NOOOOOOOOOO..."

Days later, in the recording room at the studio...

"Kuchibiru kara shita e- pfft." Akaito failed the part for the sixth time that day. "Sorry, it's just- pfft."

"Bear with it," Mikuo said calmly. In truth he's not doing well in handling it either.

"Sorry..." Akaito straightened himself. "One more time!"

Mikuo sighed.

At long last, the recording is complete.

"I'm feeling so guilty right now..." Akaito sat on the bench with his head buried in his hands.

"Tell me about it." Mikuo was in a similar position next to his friend. "I think I'll go attempt suicide."

"Not funny, Kuo."

"At least I tried."

"Kuo."

"Hm?"

"Let's go reward ourselves with ice-cream." Akaito stood up. "We deserve it."

"We deserve more than ice-cream." Mikuo stood up alongside him. "Let's go get ice-cream anyway."
