A/N: Update day today, isn't it~

Busy busy busy *_*


Mikuo stared at Hachune Mikuo, bored to death. The latter was waving a leek as usual.

"Hey, little guy... how's visiting Rin and Len sound?" Mikuo asked lazily. Akaito's on a date with Muri again and Meito's doing the usual load of paperwork while keeping an eye on Meiko.

Hachune Mikuo stared blankly back at Mikuo.

"I'll take that as an okay." Mikuo picked up the little thing and let him climb up on top of his head.

Moments later, Mikuo was ringing the bell of the Kagamines' house.

The door opened to reveal Rin standing there. "Oh! Hello, Kuo-nii! What a surprise!"

"Hi, Rin. Mind if I spend the afternoon with you two?" Mikuo asked, smiling.

"No prob! Hey, Len, Kuo-nii's here!" Rin ran inside shouting. She turned back to Mikuo. "Come in, Kuo-nii!"

Mikuo went inside the yellow house. He put Hachune Mikuo on the floor and looked around. The living room was white and yellow and orange, just as expected.

"Kuo-nii!" Rin came running back with Len.

Mikuo couldn't help smiling. He had to admit, sometimes the twins are just so cute and healing sometimes. "Hi, Len."

"Hello!" Len grinned as Rin hugged Mikuo tightly. "Say, who's this?" Len gazed curiously at Hachune Mikuo.

"This is Hachune Mikuo." Mikuo nudged the little guy with his foot.

"Mikuo-kun, what a surprise to see you here!"

Mikuo looked up and saw Megurine Luka standing in the doorway leading to the kitchen. "Ah, hello, Luka-san." Luka and Luki often go to the Kagamines' house to help out.

"Yo! Mi! Ku! O!" Luki peeked out from behind Luka, Tako Luka sprawled on his back. "What brings you here?"

"Hi, Luki-san. I was bored and decided to come over." Mikuo smiled, still getting hugged by Rin.

"One more serving of cake, got it!" Luki winked and disappeared into the kitchen.

"Kuo-nii, you HAVE to see our new road-roller!" Rin released Mikuo and tugged at his shirt. "Come on!"

"'New'...? You mean you broke the other one?" Mikuo whistled, getting dragged outside.

"Well, sort of." Len smiled sheepishly.

Mikuo was looking at the gleaming yellow vehicle when Luki's voice called. "Time for some snacks, children!"

You should have seen the twins run back inside. Mikuo followed behind, making sure the door was closed. He was used to tidying up after those two.

Soon they were all sitting at the dining table eating cake. Mikuo was zoning off thinking about things back home when Hachune Mikuo hit him with his leek to get more cake.

Mikuo sighed and fed the little guy some cake.

"Mikuo, missing Akaito already?" Luki, asked, making Len choke on his cake.

"Luki-nii! Don't put it like that!" Len complained. Rin patted his back.

"Sorry, Len-kun. So, Mikuo?" Luki looked at Mikuo.

"... Sort of." Mikuo nibbled a piece of cake, his thoughts not really focusing.

"I knew it." Luki smiled a victorious smile. "So I've asked him to come over after the date."

It got Mikuo's attention all right. "What? He's already tired from the date. He shouldn't-"

"He said he's happy to." Luki didn't stop smiling.

"That idiot..."

Luka looked at the clock. "It's about time he comes," she said, standing up. "I'll go get some drinks ready."

"I'll help out," Luki offered and stood up, too.

After the pink duo left, Rin and Len gazed intently at Mikuo.

"Yes, what is it?" Mikuo asked.

"We've been meaning to ask this but..." Rin's voice trailed off.

"Is Akaito more important to Kuo-nii than we are?" Len finished for her.

Mikuo panicked. How should he answer that? His first move was to deny it, but it would mean he's lying... And he hates lying.

Mikuo's hesitation answered the question, though.

"... I see." The twins' disappointed faces pained Mikuo.

As Mikuo was about to say something, the doorbell rang.

The twins exchanged looks.

"No blocking the door, now." Mikuo could almost feel what they had in mind. He stood up and went over to the door.

Mikuo opened the door to see Akaito with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath. "Luki... have you seen Kuo? He's missing..."

"... I'm here," Mikuo said, baffled. Didn't Luki inform Akaito that he's here?

Akaito looked up and was shocked as well. "Did Luki... invite you over too?"

"... I came on my own."

"What...?" Akaito was confused. "Luki invited me over... so I thought I'd bring you, too, since you're good friends... but when I reached home I couldn't find you..."

"You idiot..." Mikuo understood then.

It seemed like Rin and Len understood, too. They went up to Akaito and started calling him "Aka-nii".

Akaito's bewildered expression made Mikuo laugh.

Akaito's just so... lovable.


A/N: That's all for today! See ya!
