A/N: Truth to be told, the remaining chapters in stock is reaching the bottom... I think it's writer's block. QwQ

Need more AkaKuo moe to keep it going XD

"Hey, Kuo, what are you doing?" Akaito peeked over Mikuo's shoulder.

"Writing a song. Miku asked me to." Mikuo penciled in a note.

"Whoa, you're so cool, Kuo!" Akaito looked at the notes neatly written on the manuscript.

"Hm..."

"Can I sing it?"

"Not yet." Mikuo tapped the pencil against the desk.

"Any lyrics?"

"Not yet."

"Can I write the lyrics?"

"After I'm done."

"... It's boring today." Akaito sighed.

"Where's Muri-san?" Mikuo wrote in another note.

"She's on a girls-only trip with Haku and the others."

"Oh."

"I wanna sing this, Kuo."

"One last note left..." Mikuo drew in the last line. "Done!"

Akaito snatched the paper and studied the melody. "You're really good at this, Kuo! Now listen to me sing in the lyrics!"

"Go ahead." Mikuo nodded.

Akaito grinned and started singing. "It's a wonder how you never saw me, it's a wonder how I'm so sad. I don't think this is too bad, I even feel somewhat glad... If you listen and you hear, if you look and you see, if you touch and you feel..."

Mikuo listened to his impromptu attentively.

"Do you like it?" Akaito asked when he had finished, looking at his friend hopefully.

"It's just a big lump of scattered word pieces."

Akaito's face fell.

"But I like it. It's nice." Mikuo smiled.

Akaito beamed. "I like your melody, too."

A broad smile appeared on Mikuo's face. "Thank you."

Akaito took the pencil from Mikuo and scrawled in the lyrics. "Let's take this to Miku."

So they did just that.

Miku looked at the manuscript. "It sounds cute! You wanna sing it, Mikuo?"

"Ah?" Mikuo stared at his sister in bewilderment.

"You can do a duet with Aka-chan, too. I'll let you sing your own melody!" Miku smiled, giving the paper to her brother.

"Isn't that cool, Kuo?" Akaito patted Mikuo's back.

"Uh..." Mikuo stared blankly at the paper in his hands.

He's finally going to sing his own song...!

Mikuo couldn't help smiling. "Yeah... thanks..."

That was the first time Mikuo felt so grateful for having people around him who cared for him.

A/N: There's no actual song involved in the making of this chapter. XD
