A/N: It's me again! Was a bit moody because of miscommunication problems with someone... But whatever! Enjoy!
"You know how you're always moody when I'm not there, especially when I'm on dates?" Akaito said to Mikuo one day.
"Yeah?" Mikuo didn't need Akaito to tell him how moody he was.
"I've come up with a brilliant solution." Akaito's eyes gleamed.
Mikuo could tell what Akaito had in mind. It's not hard to guess.
Akaito grinned. "I'll bring you on our dates! Isn't that brilliant?"
Bingo! Mikuo sighed. "Is Muri-san okay with this?"
"She said it's okay!" Akaito was excited. "Isn't that cool? The next date is at three p.m. today so get ready, 'kay?"
"Three?" Mikuo said calmly, "Don't you mean, now?"
Akaito looked at the clock. "... Um... yeah?"
Well, at least the idiot knew enough to panic.
When at last they arrived at the venue, Muri was already waiting.
Muri smiled a sweet smile. "Hi, Akaito-kun and... Hatsune-sama!" She ended her sentence with a scream.
Mikuo looked at her, puzzled. "Uh, hello, Muri-san..."
"Hatsune-sama called my name! Kyaaaa!" Muri took Akaito's hand in excitement.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you." Akaito turned to Mikuo. "Muri-chan's a big fan of yours."
"... Eh?" Mikuo was in shock.
"Hatsune-sama! I can't believe you're right here!" Muri looked to be full of gratefulness. "Thank you so much for coming!"
"... I can come to every date if you want..." 'Because I'm pretty bored,' Mikuo added silently. He continued, "Just call me Mikuo. It's easy to get confused, you know. My sister and I."
"Then... Mikuo-san?" Muri was blushing and putting her hands on her face. "Miku-san's not even half as good as you!"
"... Thanks... I think?" Now that's news. No one said that to Mikuo before. Absolutely NO ONE. Mikuo was in a bigger wave of shock.
"And... do you mean it when you said you can come to every date? Please by all means do so!" Muri was extremely excited about that...
"Kuo, you're taking my girlfriend away..." Akaito said.
"Ah?" Mikuo blinked. "Oh, um... yeah..."
"Kuo, you okay?" Akaito touched Mikuo's shoulder.
"I'm fine." Mikuo regained his composure, just as expected of him. "Well, then... shall we get going?"
"Sure!" Muri shouted.
"Kuo, my girlfriend..." Akaito sniffled.
"I didn't expect this." Mikuo gave Akaito a look.
"I'm sorry for not telling you... But... my girlfriend..." Akaito looked at Muri.
"Things will work out." Mikuo shrugged. "Somehow."
"Don't worry, you two." Muri smiled at them. "Akaito-kun and Mikuo-san are different for me. Akaito-kun is my boyfriend and Mikuo-san is someone I look up to."
Mikuo smiled. "You're such a nice girl, Muri-san."
Muri blushed. "Th-thank you..."
Akaito was still annoyed by the way the two were interacting. "Kuo..."
Mikuo sighed. "I got it, Akaito."
Akaito walked forward with his head bent low and held what he thought was Muri's hand.
But, of course(?), it wasn't Muri's hand he held.
There was an awkward silence with Akaito holding Mikuo's hand while Muri was shocked still.
"A... Akaito-kun..." Muri said softly, "I didn't know..."
Akaito realised that he had made the worst mistake yet. He flung Mikuo's hand away. "It's not... I thought it was you!" He couldn't figure out how he could possibly make such a mistake... then he remembered the author (A/N: *raises hand* Yup it's me).
Mikuo was silent all along, but the aura around him was roaring in rage.
"I... I'm sorry, Kuo!" Akaito quickly apologised. He was about to mention the author when he remembered that Mikuo didn't like the breaking of fourth walls.
Mikuo said, with eerie calmness, "You idiot..."
"I'm sorry! Don't kill me!" Akaito hid behind Muri.
Mikuo rolled his eyes. Wasn't that manly, Akaito? "Wasn't I glad that it wasn't a stranger's hand you held? It saved me a lot of trouble, Akaito. Thank you so much."
"... Kuo?" Akaito whimpered.
"We'll settle this at home," was the only thing Mikuo said.
"Eep!"
A/N: That's all for today! Thanks for reading~
