A Fateful Encounter

A Gakupo x Luka story for MiharuRie (a friend of mine on dA)

Luka's P.O.V

I tossed and turned in my fluffy pink bed. My sea blue eyes shot open to reveal nothing but darkness within my room. Only the glowing red numbers from the digital clock that rested on my night stand seemed to be alive. It was 3:25 A. the morning and I, Luka Megurine, could not find sleep.

You see, I would be starting a new school tomorrow. It might not seem like a big deal to many, but it becomes important when you realize that it's the twentieth school you've attended. Things haven't gone well in the past, is all I'll say but this time will be different. We won't be moving this time. I'll be able to make friends. I won't be shunned.

I won't be alone.

I repeat this to myself over and over again to no avail. My eyes are still wide open this early in the morning, my body shaking from both the cold room and fear.

I should sleep or I'll look like a walking zombie the next day and will never make friends that way. I should…

I would if I could.

O-o-O

My alarm rang a while later and my long, slender fingers quickly shut it off. It would be delightful to be the person, still in bed, begging for another ten minutes of sleep. Yet that is not who I am, for I was already dressed and seated on my bed twenty minutes before it rang.

I was about to hastily leave the room, but my feet stopped in front of the mirror. I gazed curiously at the person inside the glass and questioning sea blue orbs stared back. Unconsciously at first, my fingers rose to caress the long, pink tresses that I called hair. My skin was pale, my hair pink, and my eyes blue… Could there be something weirder about me?

Mornings in my house were always quiet and serious since my mother died. My father and I ate without uttering a sound; only the silverware clinks could be heard. Afterwards, he drove me to school and that was it. Nothing more, nothing less. No "have a good day" or "good luck" and I guess it was better for me that way.

The day passed by so slowly that I'd think the minute hand on the clock was hanging on for dear life. I stood in the background layer during all my classes. Occasionally someone would ask me if my hair color was natural to which I would reply it was. That was it. Everyone knew each other already and clustered off in groups for lunch while I stayed behind. I guess there was no room for Luka Megurine in their busy lives.

Somehow, I found an area near the football field to hide away. I curled up as best as you could with a green plaid skirt along white knee-high socks on and took out a book to read. Reading is the only thing that can save me from my miserable reality.

Just when Prince Jay was going to save the princess who turned out to be his best friend, he got hit with the evil guy's staff. Yet, he wasn't the only one.

As soon as my mind drifted back to reality, my head began to throb painfully. Two guys came running up to me. One, the one with dark blue hair, ran to get the football that had just damaged my brain cells. The other guy, this weird guy with really long purple hair walked towards me. His hair was longer than mines which reached to my waist and his lilac eyes tried to hide a spark of amusement.

"Hey, I'm sorry about that. Kaito has really terrible aim." The purple one chuckled.

"More like you can't catch!" The blue one, Kaito, retorted.

The purple guy took a longer look at me. Did I have something on my face? Or was he going to start making fun of me already? He seemed like the type, a stupid jock, who only cares about being popular. I mean, you could clearly tell who took better care of both their hair and face between me and him.

"Are you new here?"

I wanted to reply verbally, but my tongue was frozen in place. I merely managed to nod in response.

"Ah that's why I don't recognize you! What grade you in?"

"E-Eleventh."

"Me too!" He exclaimed cheerfully and pointed his thumb towards his blue haired friend, "Kaito's a junior as well!"

Kaito came up to me and grinned, "I'm Kaito Shion, nice to meet you! This guy is rude and stupid enough not to introduce himself. He is Gakupo Kamui, a total diva."

"Shut up Kaito, just because I take care of myself doesn't mean I'm a diva, ice-cream freak!"

"Ice-cream is so much more awesome than eggplant, yuck, who eats that anyway?"

"You're just jealous of me!"

The two started bickering while I began to build up the courage to introduce myself. I could easily just slide away into the unnoticeable background at the moment…

"I-I'm Luka Megurine, pleased to meet you two!" I stammered.

Both of the guys stopped fighting and stared at me. Then they nodded in unison while displaying a goofy smile. I smiled back, happy that I had made friends.

O-o-O

Over the course of the week I realized that I hadn't really made friends but instead merely met new people. I didn't eat lunch with Gakupo or Kaito and the girls in my class liked to talk about things I didn't, like boys and clothing. It hadn't been fate to find them. To my surprise both Gakupo and Kaito's names came up a couple of times. Some other people were also mentioned like a certain Len Kagamine, Miku Hatsune, Piko Utatane, and a Rin person. I actually wished to join them just to learn more about the peculiar purple haired guy but didn't. Instead I ventured to the library where I knew I could read in peace and daydream too, without being scared of getting hit in the head by a football again. That soon became my daily routine. In between classes I would always find a way to wiggle into my haven of books.

The librarian finally figured I was a total loser and didn't have any friends. She asked me whether I was bored and lonely during nutrition and lunch to which I begrudgingly admitted was the truth. Then, being the nice lady she is, she offered me a position as a student tutor. That way, I'd both spend my time here and maybe meet nice people to become friends with.

I agreed to the job immediately, took a few classes before school to get me ready, and was soon a tutor for history, English and mathematics. The people whom I tutored were all grateful and maybe even greeted me in the hallway but nothing more than that.

Then one day, an unexpected "student" came to my "class." I sat at my desk, tapping my pencil against the black marble table, waiting for my new pupil. The more I taught my fellow peers what I knew, the more comfortable I became with speaking to others.

I was startled by someone sliding into the vacant chair in front of me. Gakupo lay with his forehead on the table, in a defeated manner, and sighed out loud.

"Do your worst."

"Gakupo?" I questioned as I stared at the guy.

His head immediately snapped back up, "How did you know-oh hey Luka! Long time no see, eh?"

I nodded and he chuckled, "So you are a tutor here? Must mean you're smart…teach me everything!"

I giggled at his comment, "What do you need help on?"

"Everything…but mostly history and math."

"Okay then," I stated as my hands gripped the spine of a worn out history text, "Let's begin!"

O-o-O

For weeks, I tutored Gakupo every two days. I began to look forward to our meetings although was still hesitant to call him friend.

"THIS WOMAN'S A GENIUS!" Gakupo exclaimed while showing people in the library his test score from a recent math test, "I WENT FROM AN F TO A B!"

"Do you see this?" he exclaimed and his purple locks whipped around and he caught me in a shocking embrace, "You're amazing!"

I blushed for two reasons. One, I was being hugged by a guy and two, I had never been praised like that before.

He grabbed my hand, not letting me recover from his previous surprise attack. People stared at us questioningly but I was more worried about where he was taking me.

"Where are we going?"

"We need someone smart like you in the group and you need friends, it's a win-win situation for us both. Besides, I really like you!" Gakupo explained with a grin.

I once again blushed at his comment and let him drag me away. My heart hammered against my chest as he held my hand. We reached a spot a little away from the entrance to the baseball field, the main left building. There, a group of people were waiting.

"Hey Gakupo!" Kaito greeted from afar and then his blue eyes landed on me, "Hey Luka!"

Everyone stared at the newcomer which was me, "Who's this?"

"Guys, I have brought salvation! This is Luka Megurine, the goddess of knowledge, who can help us raise our grades. She's really nice too!"

Everyone plainly stared at both of us.

"She made me go from an F to a B in a period of five weeks!"

That's what made everyone flock to my side. Two similar looking people were the first to approach me.

"Hey, I'm Len Kagamine and she's my girlfriend Rin!" he stated with a proud grin. Rin blushed at his comment and waved a shy hello.

"I'm Piko Utatane." A silver haired boy stated. What surprised me about him was that his eyes were each a different color.

Kaito waved from afar, "You already know the awesome me so no need for introductions."

I recognized all the people around me as the topics from the conversations from earlier. So does that mean they're popular? The only one missing would be…

A girl with really long teal hair (about the same length as Gakupo's) that was kept in two ponytails approached me last.

"I'm Miku Hatsune and in case you are wondering if Kaito is single, he isn't. He's my boyfriend but I'm sure he forgot to mention me." The teallete affirmed and cast a sideways glance at Kaito. The latter gulped and formed a heart shape with his index fingers and thumbs.

"Don't worry Miku, she's totally into Gakupo and you know I only love you~" Kaito said and I literally felt the blood rush to my face and then leave all too fast.

Gakupo, who was still next to me, placed a hand on my head and smiled, "Don't be intimidated by him. I know you may not be used to hanging out with idiots like us but I'll be next to you the entire time so don't be afraid."

I felt my chest swell with warmth and I knew I wouldn't mind him accompanying me in the least.

That's when everything broke apart. Tears began to slowly slide from my eyes and everyone stared at me in surprise.

"Ah-? L-Luka, did I say something wrong? Please don't cry!" Gakupo pleaded.

I smiled with true happiness for once and wiped my tears away, "No…I'm just really happy."

They all embraced me and I cried freely with my new friends. Although they thought of me as their academic savior, they had no idea who the true heroes were. It was truly a fateful encounter that led me here. I smiled at Gakupo; this was all thanks to him. And also…

I would have to thank the librarian later.
