"Miku, are you okay?" Rin asked slowly as she looked up at her friend in confusion and concern. "You look...pissed." Gumi nodded along with Rin as she was also a bit confused by Miku's behavior.

Tonight was one of their annual parties, where all singers would come together and enjoy themselves before their schedules filled up again. This year, it was hosted at the Cryptoloid's huge residence.

Miku fumed in annoyance as she gripped her cup tightly. However, she held a fake smile on her face. "Of course, I'm okay, Rin! Isn't this party fun? Everyone is laughing and dancing, which is great!" Miku didn't even turn her head as she spoke because her eyes were trained on two certain people who were just a few feet away.

She watched as Luka covered her mouth as she laughed softly at whatever Gakupo had said to her. The purple-haired singer continued to smirk as he draped his arm around Luka, causing Miku to nearly crush her cup. Gakupo and Luka were like best friends but it was clear that Gakupo wanted more than that.

Gumi followed her gaze and put the pieces together as she smirked. "Miku, do you have a crush on Luka?" She asked with a knowing tone in her voice.

Rin tilted her head at Gumi before looking at where Miku's attention was. She gasped in shock as as a giant smile appeared on her face "Oh my god! You do, don't you?" She shouted happily.

Miku turned beet red as she finally turned her head towards her two friends and shushed them loudly. "S-Shut up!" She exclaimed as she nearly spilled her drink in her hand. She looked back at Luka, only to make eye contact with the pink-haired idol. She had a small smile on her face but her eyes held a bit of confusion and concern. It was almost as if she heard Miku yelling from where she was.

Miku bit her cheek as she turned her head back in a panic. "Um..."

Gumi gave her a knowing look while Rin was bouncing on her feet. Before either of them could say anything, Miku glared at them with a blush. "I'm not having this discussion here or anytime soon. So forget it!"

"So you do like her," Gumi said in a teasing tone as she nudged Miku's arm, ignoring Miku's words. "How long?"

"I should have known! Now it all makes sense," Rin beamed with joy for her friend. "You've been like this every time Gakupo visits. You've been-"

"I'm not jealous!" Miku exclaimed again as she continued to blush. She was jealous. "I could care less that Gakupo visits Luka almost every weekend."

Gumi nudged Rin as she looked behind Miku, causing Rin to nervously smile. "Uh, Miku-"

Miku wasn't done as she continued to ramble. "He won't even be able to come over and visit next weekend because I plan to ask Luka out on a date like I've been trying to do for months!" Miku huffed as she looked at her friends, who had a funny look on their faces. "What?"

There was a small tap on her shoulder, causing her to freeze in place. She didn't need to turn around. Rin and Gumi's expressions said it all. Miku felt the tip of her ears burn as she didn't know what to say.

"Miku...please turn around. It's okay."

Luka's soothing and gentle voice made Miku's heart race slightly but she also felt the dread sinking in. With a sigh, she turned around and looked up at the slightly taller idol. "H-Hey, Luka..." Miku said quietly as she avoided eye contact with the woman.

Luka looked a bit concerned as she tilted her head at the teal-haired idol. She also had a small hint of blush on her cheeks. "Are you okay? I heard you yelling over the music..." She asked softly as she took a glance at Gumi and Rin, who suddenly found interest in their drinks in hand

Miku's blush deepened as she forced out a nervous laugh. "Y-Yeah I'm okay! Rin was just teasing me like usual. You know she is...too hyper and loud."

"Hey! That's not-" Gumi covered Rin's mouth and pulled her away, leaving Miku and Luka alone.

"I suppose..." Luka raised her eyebrow at Miku's odd behavior before shaking her head in amusement. "Anyway, care to take a walk with me?" She asked with a soft smile on her face.

"Oh um...sure!" Miku nodded as she finished her drink and set it on the counter, feeling nervous but happy to spend more time with Luka.

Luka smiled before gesturing for Miku to follow her. Miku stared for a few moments as Luka began to walk away before snapping out of it and rushing after her.

Miku stared at the ground as she walked beside Luka, who was silent. She sent a few side glances, trying to figure out what she was thinking. It was making her anxious and nervous.

"Miku." Luka's voice suddenly spoke up, causing Miku to jump slightly and finally turn her head towards her crush. The pink idol wasn't looking at her, keeping her eyes forward the whole time.

"Y-Yes?"

"I heard what you said earlier...maybe not the whole thing but enough to put the pieces together," Luka said calmly as she finally looked at Miku. "Do you like me?"

Miku's breath hitched as she looked away with a blush. She couldn't bring herself to speak as she was worried that she ruined her good friendship with Luka.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look back over at Luka, who smiled at her. "It's okay...you can tell me, Miku."

"L-Luka, I..." She hesitated as she bit her cheek before taking a deep breath. "I like you...a lot. Like a lot, a lot..."

Luka formed a small blush across her face as she got the confirmation she needed. She was about to reply but, suddenly Miku began to ramble in a slightly flustered and panicked tone.

"B-But please don't be weirded out or anything! I promise I'll get over it as soon as I can! I know that you and Gakupo have a thing going and I don't want to get in between that!" Miku held her hands to her chest as she stared up at Luka with teary eyes.

"What? Miku-"

"I don't want to lose you as my friend, Luka! I love singing with you and just talking about things outside of our careers! I'll be perfectly okay with just being-"

"Miku!"

Miku went silent as Luka's shouting snapped her out of her frantic state. She wiped away her tears as she looked up at her friend in fear.

Luka sighed softly as she shook her head with a smile. "Sorry for shouting but goodness, you love to ramble...It's like being on a love trial," She said in a bit of amusement before reaching over to brush away the last stray tear on Miku's cheek. "But it's one of the many reasons why I find myself drawn to you."

Miku's eyes widen at Luka wiping away her tears and the words she just spoke. "Drawn to me? What do you mean?"

Luka's eyes lit up in amusement as she giggled softly. "Come on...what do you think I mean?"

She stayed silent as it all hit her. The look in Luka's eyes, the subtle reference to her song, the softness in her voice...

Instead of responding, Miku pushed forward and wrapped her arms around the taller idol tightly as she felt overjoyed. She buried her face into Luka as she whispered. "You mean it? Do you..."

Luka blushed softly as she smiled. She wrapped her arms around Miku, returning the embrace just as tightly. "I do...I like you too." She whispered back as she buried her face into the top of her head.

Miku felt her heart swell up in joy as she slightly pulled away to look up at Luka. "I'm so glad..." She whispered. A thought came to her as she titled her head at Luka. "So...you and Gakupo were never a thing?"

Luka rolled her eyes as she moved Miku's bangs from her eyes. "Not. The idiot probably hoped to be but I never let it get that far. I honestly don't know why he still tries. It's funny to see him try though." She laughed softly before asking, "Don't tell me you were jealous, Miku..."

Miku's cheeks turned red for the hundredth time tonight as she pouted at Luka. "I already have Rin and Gumi making fun of me...I don't need you to do it as well."

"I'm not making fun of you..." Luka placed her hand on Miku's cheek and caressed it with her thumb softly. "I find it cute that you were jealous. That probably explains why I noticed you staring at me earlier."

"You noticed?!"

"Yeah, you weren't very subtle, Miku."

Miku groaned as she felt slightly embarrassed. She placed her face into Luka's chest, to hide her red face. "Kill me."

"No way. Not when I finally get to have this special moment with you." Luka giggled softly, lifting Miku's face back up, so they could look into each other's eyes. "How else am I supposed to ask you on a date?"

"A date?" Miku blinked before shaking her head furiously as her demeanor changed. "No! I'm supposed to ask! I've been trying for months!"

Luka raised an eyebrow as she smirked playfully. "Alright then...I'm waiting." She replied as she looked at the teal-haired idol, waiting for her to do it.

Miku blushed as she felt slightly intimidated by Luka's gaze. She took a deep breath and began to speak. "W-Will you go...go...go..." She stuttered, struggling to get the words out as her heart was pounding so fast against her chest.

"Go?"

"...On a..." Miku fumed in annoyance as she grew frustrated. "Ugh come on!" She suddenly exclaimed as she grabbed Luka's hands tightly in her own. "Go on a date with me this weekend!" She finally shouted out.

The pink-haired idol began to laugh as she squeezed Miku's hands gently. She had a soft blush on her cheeks as she smiled. "That was more of a statement than-"

"Luka!"

"Okay, okay!"
