Yeah I am not dead :P Happy new year!

The Plan
.
"So girlfriends?"
Miku felt her heart explode with ecstasy hearing that question. So much that she couldn't help but to almost tackle the pink haired girl with a bone crushing hug. Luckily for them Luka was able to hold her balance after missing a step or two.
"IloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyou" – said Miku frantically fast as she buried her face on Luka's shoulder, strengthening each time the already vice grip she had on her now girlfriend.
Luka aside from feeling like she would stop breathing if Miku didn't ease a bit suddenly noticed something she should have a long time ago. Seeing the reaction of the girl in her arms, so, so happy and relieved made her realization more the obvious. Miku really wanted this.
She knew that the teal girl was in a huge part relieved that she wasn't mad about that little scene with Gakupo, but still it somehow bugged her.
She should have asked Miku ages ago. How hadn't she noticed? -Scratch that- she should have known. Miku loved that kind of stuff, even if they agreed that they preferred having what they had between them for now, she should have made it 'official' or whatever that was supposed to mean. Luka felt like she had been a bit careless with Miku, maybe not all that attentive and she absolutely hated the idea, she wanted to be perfect for her perfect girl.
She didn't pay attention to things like titles or formalities, if you asked her she regarded herself as Miku's lover for long while now, they had that kind of relationship after all. But of course Miku wasn't like her, she was a romantic. She had always dreamed of having a perfect movie-like lovey-dovey relationship full of fluff and romantic dates, and she somehow denied her… in part due to their, well circumstances but still…
"You sure you aren't mad?" – asked Miku her chin resting comfortably on the top of her chest while making the cutest puppy eyes. – "I will make it up to you, I promise"
"I am not Miku, sheesh, and you don't have to do anything "– Luka said realizing she had been slightly frowning - "well maybe if we can skip that plot-less drama you enjoy so much tonight I will forgive you" she added playfully.
"Deal!" – Said the petit girl flashing her trademark megawatt smile.
"Now, let's go to your house we don't want to make another scene here" – Said Luka feeling a little shy thanks to the passerby's curious glances. They were hugging and being all mushy in the middle of the street after all. And so they did, hand in hand they re-started their way back home.
.
'I will be the one to make it up to you Miku'
.

They were just crossing the front door of the Hatsune residence when Miku's mother came out of the kitchen to greet them.
"Hi girls, how was school?" – The woman with aqua-green hair asked, smiling at them.
"Eh, good mum… Let's go Luka" – said Miku hurriedly, visibly nervous. Luka however just rolled her eyes and shrugged her off, nothing really changed… but then again if today's stunt at school was any indication, the twin-tailed girl was prompt to overreact.
"You can go get the things ready so we can start our homework" – She simply smiled at Miku's pointed look, and now looking at the older woman she continued – "Good afternoon Mrs. Hatsune, thanks for having me today too"
"Oh, dear, when will you drop the formalities? I know you since you were six! – replied her dark green eyes gentle and caring as always. Miku seemingly forgotten only saw the scene through narrowed eyes. Her mother had such soft spot for the pinkette that Miku felt stupid for even thinking that today would be awkward, besides it wasn't like she knew anyways.
'psss Luka and her charms, well it's better this way…' – she thought to herself as she made her way to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and drinks. Obviously so she could eavesdrop their conversation, and prevent her mother quite possible interruption later in her room asking them if they wanted something.
"Oh, I am sorry Mika-san, I just can't grow out of it. You know my father"- Miku heard Luka say, indeed Luka's father was the most respectful and polite man she had ever known, and so he taught his daughter the same.
"Yeah I know" – the older woman said softly. Truth be told Mika would love to see the pink haired girl act more spoiled as weird as it may sound; Luka always seemed to be too 'grown up' for her age. It always made her want to pamper the pink girl. She had taken care of Miku and Luka a lot since they were just little kids. - "How is he? I keep hearing how well his business is going. He should take some time to relax though, I haven't seen him stay still for more than a few minutes since I first met him and that was ten years ago!"
"He is doing fine" – replied Luka, her smile turning a bit nostalgic. She couldn't really help it when she thought about the time when she moved here with her father. Those were difficult times for them… She and her father moved after her mother passed away when she was only five. Her father had to take care of raising her, attend his quite new but promising business and mourning his loss, he really had his hands full.
Mika noted the change in Luka's mood and patted her head; with that comforting presence only moms seemed to have.
"He is okay" - repeated a bit flustered - "In fact he told me that he would be home this weekend" – Luka said smiling at the older woman, not dwelling in the nostalgia. It was the past, and that past allowed her to be who she was now.
"Glad to hear that, here I thought I would have to lecture him the next time I saw him" - the older woman said playfully. –"I know his business grew a lot recently, but that is no reason to leave such a beautiful girl alone so often"
"He makes it up nagging at me by phone for hours every day though" – replied Luka with a little snicker, she was used to it by now. -"It never gets lonely thanks to Miku, thank you for letting her spend so much time with me"- Luka added. And that was enough signal for Miku to know it was her cue to enter if she wanted to rescue her girlfriend from her mother's "moe attack".
Only, she was too late.
"Ow Luka-chan, don't worry! You know we love you as a daughter right? And you are so so so good example for Miku we are really happy to have you with us whenever you want. Tell me, what do you want, ice cream? go shopping? Whatever you want honey" – Started the older Hatsune while crushing her in a mom bear hug.
"Stop wanting to pamper her mom, besides now we should really start with our homework"- deadpanned Miku with a tray full of snacks on her hands.
"Yes… I am fine, really" – managed a blue-ish looking Luka.
"Oh, yeah sorry" - smiled once again Mika letting the girl go -"…But…uh at least, I will be sure to add tuna to our dinner!" – She added cheerfully watching the girls climb up the stairs.
"Thanks Mika-san you are the best!"
.
After a full dinner of negitoro, both girls personal favorite courtesy of Miku's mother, the girls were up again in the tealette's bedroom.
"Way to charm my parents Luka, not even my dad checked his work-phone after it sounded tree times in a row" – said Miku with mock annoyance, on the inside she was so happy that everything was going so well. Her parents adored Luka, maybe, just maybe things wouldn't be so difficult in the future.
Luka's only answer was a sly smile as she guided her to the bed. – "Maybe I do have a talent with the Hatsunes, what do you think?" – she said, her voice husky while straddling Miku on the soft mattress. - "Do I have the same luck here?"
Sexy and playful Luka was something Miku was just starting to know, and oh God, it was too much for her raging hormones. Feeling the heat on her cheeks Miku knew she wouldn't be able to resist.
"You cocky little ass" – she started yanking the other girl on top of her just a few centimeters before they lips could meet - "I am the only Hatsune you have to worry about".
What promised to be a long and hot make out session was cut short when they heard Mika's voice at the other side of the door reminding them to not stay up too late. To say that both of them practically jumped from each other and had their hearts on their throats was a big understatement.
"Man, that was so close!" – gasped Miku covering her face while blushing furiously.
"T-this is why I-I always tell you that we have to tune it down when we are in your home" – reprimanded Luka equally flushed.
"You tempted me!" – retorted Miku puffing her cheeks. – "It's not my fault that I have such a hot girlfriend!" – Miku sounded so frustrated that Luka couldn't help to burst in laughs; she looked like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
"Mou enough, I will go shower first. And a cold one, thanks to someone, hmp!" – Luka continued laughing her ass off as the fuming tealette left the room.
Taking on this moment she had alone on her girlfriend's room Luka rested her back on the bed. It was a bit weird, but she loved this place, it screamed Miku on every inch of it. The faint flowery sent in the sheets, the big amount of plushies Miku loved so much scattered all around, the posters of Miku's favorite musicians and series on the teal colored walls, the glowing plastic stars on the ceiling, the ever present chaotic disorder on her desk, everything. They had years of memories between this four walls and thinking about it filled her with a warm feeling that had been almost distracting enough to make her forget what she really needed to ponder about.
"What can I do…?" she asked to the air, a bit frustrated. She had been thinking about making it up to Miku and for now the plan was to take the teal haired girl to the most romantic date and then reenact the proposal part. That wasn't difficult to figure out; Miku would love it that was for sure. The problem was… how did one plan a romantic date? What did she have to do? Where was a good place to take Miku? What if she screwed up?
Luka was not a romantic and she was aware of that, the moments that marked her relationship with Miku came from a natural response, intuition, impromptu meetings and gestures, trial and error. But this couldn't be left up to mere luck; this had to be carefully planned in order to be perfect.
She would spend the weekend with her father most likely, so, it had to be Friday night. That left her three days to come up with something. She could even ask her other friends, like Meiko, Gumi and…the twins? ...Kaito?
Uhg, she could already feel the migraine coming. She was screwed.
Lying on the bed Luka felt her eyelids starting to drop until she tiredly gave up and decided to rest for just a little bit, she would have to think about it later.
.
Soft touches tracing on her features woke her up yet still more than a half sleep Luka could only register sensations. Warm, she could feel the sheets over her body but it wasn't that, the real source was lying right next to her and still guided by instincts she moved closer clinging to it. So confortable, her foggy state of consciousness wouldn't last long she realized, feeling herself already drifting sleep. That until she heard a couple of soft giggles.
Miku. Knowing this Luka willed herself to wake up, feeling more conscious each second. She didn't get to say anything before she felt her teal haired lover's dancing fingers caressing her cheeks. She could hear her humming a song; Miku's voice was so lovely; maybe she should play sleeping beauty little more and enjoy the moment. It was a pity that she couldn't help but to smile selling her act right away.
"Sorry did I wake you up?" – She heard the teal haired girl say softly.
"Mmm… It's ok Miku" – the pinkette mumbled slowly openning her eyes. – "I didn't plan to sleep for so long…" – she added noticing the darkness in the room and moving a little so she could catch sight of Miku's digital clock. To her surprise, it was alredy past midnight.
"This late? You should have woken me up after your shower" – answered a bit upset with herself – "We… didn't get to…you k-know enjoy our time together…"- continued feeling shy, she hadn't really noticed until now how very close Miku was, they were practically tangled.
"Don't be silly I knew you were tired, you were playing with the volleyball team, besides…" – started the tealette burying herself even deeper in her girlfriend's hug – "your sleeping face is too cute, you always get up earlier than me so I don't get to see it as often. That AND that you are a bit of a cuddle monster when you are asleep."- said giggling against Luka's neck making the pinkette stiffen.
"M-Miku…S-sorry..." – whispered Luka really embarrassed taking notice on the scandalous leg of hers that was between her girlfriend's and the almost possessive arm that had the petite girl imprisoned in a hug. Luka felt her face grow hot; damn she didn't sleep with a body pillow for nothing. - "we should lay the futon…"
"Not a chance" – interjected the teal haired girl. – "just for tonight pretty pretty please!" –whined, inwardly sighing at Luka's self-righteousness, the pink haired girl wouldn't sleep with her when they were in her house because she found it disrespectful to Miku's parents. And quoting "They trust me, I can't just sleep with their daughter under their noses like that, it's not right… It feels like I am deceiving them" Of course Miku argued every time that what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them and that it could pass as totally normal but Luka would never bulge.
That's why it surprised her to no end when Luka agreed silently to her plea and just hugged her a little closer.

"Just for tonight"
.

It worried Luka how restless Miku seemed to be the next morning, they were on their way to school and the tealette was still all tense and quiet. She didn't want to pry, Luka prided herself for not being pushy when others didn't want to talk, but this was Miku and she just couldn't stand to see her like that.
"Miku, whats wrong?"- she asked softly holding her hand successfully stopping her girlfriend on her tracks.
"It's… I…I just can't stop thinking about it" – Miku's said quietly, visibly stressed – "our friends were there yesterday… what if t-they don't…- her teal eyes started to water as she continued – a-and Gakupo was there… and there were others at school m-maybe word has spreaded out already… what if things are more difficult for you from now on thanks to me being an idiot! I won't be able to forgive myself! Luka I-I"-
"Don't say sorry, remember?" – Luka interjected smiling fondly at the other girl; Miku was this worried for her? Point given she hadn't thought about it the day before, but it was already done. About the other students at their school… she honestly couldn't care less, the attention was annoying, but she had been handling it well until now, how worse it could get? Their friends though… - "It will be ok Miku, trust them a little more, our friends, maybe it will take a little time for them to get used to it, but I am sure it will be ok. We sure shocked them didn't we?"- finished Luka weeping the tealette unshed tears.
Miku only nodded and relaxed under Luka's warm gaze. It would be okay.
After the little moment of panic they continued their way to school, it was eerie, as they went through the main street they noticed some of the other students acting for the lack of a better word, odd.
Some murmured, others just sneaked glances at them with a mix of awe and fear. The usual dreamy boys cheerful greetings transformed into just simple and curt nods. It was plain weird. And neither of them could make an explanation for everyone's behavior. It was definitely a reaction they didn't expect at all.
Once at their classroom, some murmurs persisted but they were more anxious about meeting Kaito and Meiko. They didn't arrive to their desks when a green flash almost assaulted them.
"Luka is true that you have a gangster boyfriend who threatened to bury Gakupo if he kept flirting with you?!"- asked rather shouted Gumi super excited.
Eh?. Wait. What?
Gumi realized the confusion in both girls so she continued. – "There is this rumor going on that your gangster boyfriend came to pick you up yesterday and saw Gakupo with you and almost killed him"- what the… - "Of course I asked my cousin about it, and he only said that he wouldn't hit on you since it wasn't honorable to go after other's partner"- hell?
"So it's totally obvious that your boyfriend kicked him to pulp and he is just saving face" – continued the green haired girl with stars shining in her emerald eyes. What, this wasn't a poor written drama, Luka couldn't help but to stare at the girl still trying to comprehend the whole thing. Was this what everyone thought? It was just…
Pfff.
Luka started laughing so hard that some turned despite themselves. The image of Miku dressed as a gangster ready to kill Gakupo wouldn't leave her mind. It wasn't before her cheeks and stomach began to hurt that she tried to stop herself and manage an answer.
"It may be right"
"HEY!"
