AN- Okay, so was not allowing me to post this on my laptop for some odd reason so Rin's thoughts are not in Italics and the spacing is incorrect. I apologize for this and will try to fix this as soon as possible. Please excuse any grammar mistakes and enjoy!
Edit 11/1/15- Alrighty! I was able to fix Rin's thoughts and make most of them in italics, and if you see any personal pronouns that aren't in italics or quotes, it's probably Rin thinking to herself.
"A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you." -Elbert Hubbard
A crisp autumn wind passed by, rustling trees losing even more of their yellow, orange, and red leaves to the breeze. The sun was set low, almost touching the endless horizon, and letting the light cast everything in an amber color.
The temperature was already freezing for the fall season, and Rin silently cursed to herself. Her uniform did nothing to hold off the frigid gust as the skirt was furiously fluttering, allowing the weather to skim past her pale skin. Honestly, it shouldn't be this cold in fall.. She bitterly thought to herself.
The teenager's legs brushed together in an attempt to keep warm while her hands held down the skirt that was threatening to flash her underwear to the world. Of course, the school would supply their winter uniforms as a gray blazer, the basic ivory, long-sleeved dress shirt, a nice gray and black bow, and a gray/black plaid skirt that didn't even reach half way down her thighs. To top it all off, the only thing that covered her legs was a thin pair of sable knee socks.
"This is Megurine Luka!" A teal-haired girl stated, pointing to an older woman, probably in her early twenties according to Rin's deduction skills. "And this is Kagamine Rin!" She then motioned towards the blonde. "Be good friends, alright?"
Being the polite—only in public places and, or meeting new people—person she was, Rin held out her hand, "It's nice to meet you." Ah, I want to go home... And maybe read some manga with some hot chocolate.
The salmon-haired woman took the younger girl's hand, lightly shaking it. "Likewise. I've heard a lot about you, Rin," Luka offered the teen a gentle smile before letting go of her hand.
"Luka's going to be staying with us! She was recently accepted as a Vocaloid!" Miku's lips stretched into a giant grin, along with the action of eyeing Luka as if she was one of those fancy, juicy meats that you'd buy at an exquisite restaurant.
Rin was kinda jealous at the enthusiasm Miku had at the moment, or at how Miku was giving most of her attention to Luka. Most likely the latter. The blonde hummed in acknowledgement, "That's cool. What song did you use to audition?"
It was widely known that to become a Vocaloid, you had to go through extremely rigorous training and an easily tough audition. So far, living at the mansion—yes, a mansion for just Vocaloids—was Miku, herself and Len, Kaito, Meiko, and now Luka. There were other Vocaloids that didn't live in the mansion and chose to live outside such as Gumi and Neru.
"It's a song called 'Just Be Friends.'"
"Oh? I haven't heard of it before. I'll try listening to it when we get back," Rin nonchalantly replied, rubbing her hands together, creating warmth that spreads only to her wrists.
Luka seemed to notice Rin's frustration and battle against the cold weather. "Is it alright to head to where you guys stay? It's a bit chilly out here."
Yes, yes, yes! I want to go home! The blonde chanted in her mind. Miku looked at Luka before sharing eye contact with Rin, and the teen furiously nodded her head in agreement.
The tealette looked to be having some sort of metal battle, but ending up agreeing with the two, or just Luka as it felt like she was almost ignoring the female Kagamine twin. "Okay! Then follow me, Luka!"
The trio began walking towards the mansion, however it soon broke off to Luka and Miku walking home, and Rin walking a few feet behind them.
The blonde didn't mind being alone, but it she felt that it was somewhat depressing to be left alone like that when Miku herself called for Rin to meet Luka. Whatever... The teen took this time to observe the newcomer.
The female had long pink hair that reached all the way down her back, cerulean eyes, and was dressed in what looked like work clothes, which only agreed with Rin's earlier thought of her being in her early twenties.
The one thing Rin couldn't take her eyes off of was the older female's chest. A bust size that Rin could never compare to as she was as flat as a pancake. Though it's not as if she was alone, Miku was in the same boat—okay, not the same boat, but pretty close. If the blonde had Luka's kind of bust, she would never be self conscious of herself.
The teen watched as Miku energetically spoke to her new pink haired friend, while the friend smiled and listened eagerly to the Tealette. Suddenly, Rin wanted to join in on the conversation, being left out was boring. "H-hey, so, um—"
"Yeah, yeah! And then I was like," Miku continued to speak as if Rin had never said anything. The teen fell back behind them, obviously Miku was too busy talking or,
she was ignored.
Luka made eye contact with the blonde and shoot her an apologetic look. The girl with teal hair blabbled on, talking about the most random things. Truthfully, Rin couldn't see what she liked in the girl. Miku was such a dork. Well, the teen couldn't call Miku a dork as she was smarter than her, but Miku was definitely a weirdo. A weirdo who did the most weirdest things, and at that thought Rin couldn't help but smile.
When Miku took a breath after a long monologue, Luka interrupted her. "Miku, I think Rin has something to say. Would you let her talk?"
The teal haired girl turned around with wide eyes, "Rin, you're still here? I didn't even know you were here. I thought you left!" Her smile stretched across her face, but her eyes reflect a different meaning.
Ouch.. That kinda hurt.
Rin's smile faltered for a moment. "Yeah... I've been here. The whole time, actually," the blonde glances off to the side, unable to make eye contact with the tealette.
"You've been so quiet, Rin! You should really speak up," Miku replied cheerfully, and Rin wonders if Miku really forgot about her.
"Haha, yeah, I should, shouldn't I?"
Soon, Miku and Luka go back to talking amongst themselves, leaving Rin alone once again. Upon entering the mansion, the blonde pulls off her shoes, dropping them on the floor, and unhooking her book bag from around her shoulder.
Rin steps to the side, about to leave for her room when Luka stopped her. "It was nice meeting you, Rin. Hopefully, next time we talk, you won't be left out like you were today. I'm sorry about that."
An angel. You're a real angel, Luka! "No, it's fine. No need to apologize, Luka. Thank you for at least trying to include me though. Well, I'm off to my room! See you later." A wave goodbye and Rin was off in her room doing her own thing.
Her bed was comforting, fluffy, and soft. Laying on her back, she stared at the ceiling. The blonde's feelings were somewhat hurt when Miku had forgotten about her, but the tealette probably meant no harm from what she said.
The weirdo was stupid in her own ways. She's too dense for her own good. Huffing, Rin slid her laptop out from under her bed, and turned it on. The electronic turned on with a soft beep, and the screen lit up. Let's see... Megurine Luka Just Be Friends.
Rin typed the words up onto the youtube search bar, pressing enter when she finished. Clicking the first video that popped up, the blonde quietly listened to the song with her headphones.
After a minute into the song, Rin was already downloading it to her desktop. It's definitely one of the best I've heard by far. The song, unfortunately, came to an end. Bored, the teen searched through the suggestions, and her mouse scrolled over the song 'Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru.'
She's heard the song so many times. As old as it was, the song was still one of her favorites. Tapping the mouse, the video started up.
By the end of the song Rin was already humming it in her mind. To be honest, I've been Miku-Miku-ed since long ago. I wonder if she'll ever realize what she's done to me. Rin scoffed aloud. Like that doofus was ever going to realize that I have feelings for her.
The thought passed, and Rin's out like a light on her bed. Soccer practice must've been more exhausting than she thought.
—
Finally! It was Friday, which meant it was Movie Night. A night where just herself and Miku would watch movies, and make fun of how bad they were. In just a few minutes, Rin would rush down to the movie room where Miku would be waiting like always.
Through the past week Miku had always been with Luka, so the blonde was happy that she was able to spend time with the tealette soon. Rin had tried talking to Miku at school, but she was always getting replies like 'Sorry, Rin, I'm a bit busy at the moment,' 'I'm meeting up with Luka after school,' and even to the point where she wouldn't even see Miku the whole entire day.
The teen somewhat was jealous of Luka, being able to spend time with Miku like that. Though, she shouldn't be. Miku and Luka just met five days ago. You can't feel attracted to someone that fast, can you?
Rin sighed.
Actually, the teen was going to head down to the kitchen and get something to eat. She had gone right from school to her soccer practice, and then immediately to meeting Luka.
Rin chuckled to herself, leaping off of her bed to change into better clothing that wasn't her uniform. Every single Friday night, even if they were sick, was spent watching movies. The funny part was half of the time someone would fall asleep through three-quarters of the movie, but it didn't matter because they had fun.
Slipping into more comfortable clothes, Rin took off her ivory headband and placed it on her desk. Quickly, she ambled out of her room, through the maze of a hallway, and into the kitchen.
The kitchen was definitely one of the larger room, maybe ranking in third place from largest to smallest. The tiled floor was painted black, and the counters were white, however the fridge was gray.
Grasping the handle, Rin pulled the fridge door open. Light spilled out, and the blonde quickly rummaged through the refrigerator. She didn't find anything that she likes, so instead she opened the pantry.
Searching for her oranges, she found them on the top shelf. Jumping, she was able to snatch them into her hands. Oranges were her favorite food by far, and Rin could tell that she had a problem with eating one too many oranges every day.
Oranges in hand, the older Kagamine twin sauntered into another hallway and towards her original destination.
The movie room is gigantic; filled with assorted couches and chairs to sit in, along with several tables. Most of the couches black, making the movie room hard to see in. Rin could make out most of the items in the room, however, one thing was missing. Light cobalt eyes search for the color teal, but it was not to be found. Maybe she's just late. I'll wait for her.
Rin plops down in a chair, slowly peeling her oranges. Popping an orange slice in her mouth, she waits for Miku to come.
One orange.
...
Two oranges.
...
Three oranges. She's finished three oranges and Miku still hasn't come.
"She's probably just busy with her homework. She'll turn up eventually," Rin murmured to herself, believing a self created lie.
Closing her eyes, Rin sat, propped up against the chair. The night was young, but the blonde decided to rest a little. Surely, Miku would wake her when it was time to get up.
.
..
...
...
"Hey, Rin! Wake up!" A hand pressed against her shoulder, and the hope in Rin that it's Miku who's waking her was deceived.
The blonde's eyes opened only to find her twin brother with a worried expression. "Huh?" She rubbed her eyes with her hand before glancing at her surroundings. "What?"
"You're gonna miss your soccer game, Rin! You have to get changed!" Len, who was dressed up in his stupid banana pajamas—unlike her awesome orange ones—pointed to his watch. "It's one o'clock! You have a soccer game in an hour. You didn't forget did you?"
The female's eyes widened, mouth gaping. "Oh god, I have to go!" The fact that she had a game had completely slipped her mind, and the fact that she overslept into the afternoon did not make it any better. Rin frantically scrambled out of the movie room and to her own room, yelling a thank you to her brother. "Even if you're a scrub, you're pretty helpful. Thank you, Len!"
"Sheesh, a scrub? Can I be called anything but a scrub?" Her brother jokingly replied, watching as she ran out.
Rin doesn't answer his question, but it surely brightened her mood. The soccer game was a home game, about a 30 minute walk from the mansion to the school.
Quickly, as she ran to her room, she passed Luka, "Good afternoon, Rin."
The said girl didn't have time to make a full sentence so instead she settles with, "Yo!" Rin even held up her hand, waving at the female.
The two passed by, and Rin was able to change into her game day clothes. She was #10, a number that was chosen for ungodly reasons that she didn't want to admit was true. Gotta go, gotta go! Once changed into her black, gray, and green uniform, she dashed out of the mansion, completely forgetting about eating.
A blast of warm air hit her face, quite the drastic change from the other day. Must've just been a cold front. Rin's feet pounded against the pavement as she tried her hardest to get to school on time. There's nothing else but soccer on her mind, and she knew this game will be a good one.
—line break—
There she was sitting on the bench. The blonde growled to herself, one of the opposite team's players had faked an injury that she supposedly caused. She was running across the field with the ball, easily she slipped pass a few players by faking movements. However, one player had enough of her games and decided to run into her, and when she pushed back to keep her footing on the ground, the player fell onto the grass, complaining that she hit them on purpose.
What a freaking stupid way to get out... Rin impatiently tapped her foot on the ground, waiting to be put back in. She was taken out during the first half, maybe thirty minutes in, and the second half had already started. The blonde was seriously furious, and even the coach could tell how angry she was. I need an orange and I need it now.
The teen jumped off of the bench, walking over to one of the bags that sat against the wall, next to the bleachers. Unzipping the duffle bag, she pulled a couple of oranges out of it. She dropped down onto the bench once more. Only could an orange calm her down, or... As she would never like to admit: Miku could calm her down pretty easily.
Miku never turned up to movie night.
That thought was depressing to the blonde, and her foot slowly stops killing the ground below it. She never misses a movie night. Too busy with Luka, I guess. Rin's eyebrows furrowed, envious of the salmon-haired woman. The blonde was never one to accuse someone, but she was definitely mad at the fact that Miku hasn't had time for her.
Rin's cheeks puffed out, she wished that Miku would spend time with her. The teen liked Luka, but she was getting too much attention from the teal haired girl.
That reminds me, Miku is usually at my soccer games! Maybe she's here and couldn't make it to movie night! Rin's mood instantly brightened, and she jumped up from her seat on the bench. Maybe she'll pat my head if I do good! That thought made her cheeks redden, but she knew it was something she wanted, no matter how weird it may have sounded.
"Coach, put me in!" Rin demanded, standing tall in front of the coach, who was completely unfazed by her demand.
"Okay."
She raised in eyebrow, thinking that it was going to be a lot harder to get back into the game. She held her hands into fists as they called a time out and switched her in.
It's time to make myself look good. You better be watching me, Miku!
The blonde glanced up to the stands as the other team was also switching out players. Her eyes scanned the seats, eventually landing on a teal haired girl who was exactly who she was looking for. Except, the female wasn't paying attention to the game, but towards an older woman.
Luka was sitting right next to Miku, but at least she was watching as Miku blabbed her mouth off. Rin and Luka end up sharing eye contact, making Luka wave at the blonde. The teen waved back with a troubled smile.
Turning her attention back to the game, which had already started long ago, Rin dashed off heading towards the ball. Currently the score was even 10-10, and she planned to make that change.
Another player, player #15 to be exact had the ball, carrying it to cypress High school's goal, Rin's team's goal. Chasing that player down was her friend Gumi. "Gumi, do it!" The blonde yelled across the field to her friend.
Somehow, Gumi was able to hear the Kagamine and held up an okay sign. Grinning, Rin ran back to the opposite team's goal. The green haired girl, ran in front of the player with the ball and began running backwards. Suddenly, she stopped and the player's feet skid across the ground as they tried to not run into the girl.
Gumi took this chance to steal the ball, passing it to her nearby teammate, who in turn kicked it to her when she was able to make it next to Rin.
Impress. Impress. Impress her! The blonde ran to the left side of the goal, though several feet away. Gumi internally smirked, and held her breath. Lifting her leg backwards, she took an awkward position before kicking it as hard as she could.
The ball launched into the air and many players of different teams attempted to get to the ball, but Rin didn't let them. She sprinted to the mid feel, leaping into the air and slamming her foot into the ball with what looked like a roundhouse kick.
Shooting towards the left of the goal, the ball curved in. "Ack!" The next thing that happened to Rin was unknown until she opened her eyes. She was lying on the ground, a stinging pain came from her nose, and she immediately cupped her fingers around it. Her eyes gaze into the sky as she feels something wet touch her hand.
"Rin, are you alright?!" The first person by her side was Gumi. The green haired girl lifted Rin into a sitting position.
The teen doesn't make any motion to talk, but instead raised her hand to her face. Her face promptly scrunched up at the sight. Her hand was drenched in crimson liquid that she could only guess came from her nose. Rin shook her head, getting on all fours in an attempt to get onto her feet. As soon as she's standing, she fell over, losing her balance.
Landing on her behind, tears begin to well up in her eyes. It hurts. It hurts. Why does it hurt so much? Rin blinked her tears away, she couldn't let Miku see her like this. Her lungs struggled to take in the breath that she needed. "We'll take it from here. Step away." A stranger stared at her face, but she can't see him. The pain was the only thing she could concentrate on. "Can you stand?"
Gumi piped up, "No, sir, she fell down as soon as she got on her feet, " she kneeled down next to the blonde, watching as blood gushed down her lips.
"Hmm? She probably hit her cerebellum when she hit the ground. I have to say, that ball she hit packed a punch. I didn't know someone could have so much power."
"So what are we supposed to do now?"
"It seems her nose isn't broken. She probably popped a few blood vessels when she got hit by the ball."
Rin watched as several people passed by to watch, the pain slowly fading. And so everyone has left, leaving just herself and Gumi out on the field."Did-did we win?" She inquired, trying to get off of the dirt again.
"Yeah. Yeah, we did. The ball bounced off of the metal rim, into your face, and into the goal," Gumi chuckled.
What an uncool way to get the finishing point. "Can I go home?" Rin was able to make it to her feet, using Gumi as a prop to keep herself upright.
"I think so, the coach said that you'll be fine," the green haired girl helped Rin walk off to the side. "Everyone else is trying to contact your family. You'll have to go get a check up at the doctor's."
The blonde made a face. "Len is coming? Geh, I don't need him to see me like this."
"I don't think anyone should see your face."
"Hey! That's rude. I'll let you know that I have a beautiful face," Rin quipped, laughing hard enough that her stomach hurt.
"No, no. Your face is covered in blood from the nose down. You even have some on your uniform," Gumi pointed to the blonde's chin, and a spot of red on her clothing. Remembering, Rin held out her hand. "Eww, get that away from me!"
The blonde only pushed her hand closer to Gumi's face. "Lick it, Gumi. Lick my hand!" She jokingly said.
"Ugh, gods, get your bloody hand out of my face, Rin!" The green haired girl shoved Rin away before the maroon liquid was able to touch her face.
Rin was already falling to the ground before she could call out to Gumi. As she was about to hit the ground a pair of arms wrap themselves around her waist. "Gotcha, Rin!"
Eyes widen, and Rin lifted her head only to meet teal orbs. "Miku?"
The said girl has a wide grin that easily stretched across her face. "Heya! I saw your game, Rin! You were super cool! Though, I don't understand why you were sitting on the bench for half the game..." Miku easily noticed the blood smeared on Rin's face and began pulling out a handkerchief.
So you were watching... The blond smiled in return. "Yeah, a player said that I hit them and I was put on the bench. I was pretty mad so..."
"Oh, I understand now. You always get mad about the simplest things!" Miku chuckled at the now blushing girl. "Can you turn around?"
Raising an eyebrow, Rin turned around, already missing the warmth from Miku's body. Her body was a bit more coordinated than when she was hit by the ball, and Rin stretched her limbs out. "Hey, at least i don't accuse someone of eating my food and then throw a pissy fit about it."
"Ahem, says the person who started getting extremely salty because they couldn't beat me in a game, and tried to hit me." Miku pressed her left hand against Rin's face, holding it in place so that she could wipe away most of the blood. Gently, she dabbed at the liquid, lifting only some of the liquid away.
The blonde shuddered at her touch. Miku wasn't cold or anything—quite the contrary actually. I can't believe I still get all giddy and fluttery inside when Miku touches me. Rin leaned into her hand, embracing the fleeting moment that was soon to end. "Nu-uh!... Okay, you got me there..."
"Ha! The great one and only Miku-Sama is never wrong, Rinny-Chan," Miku proudly huffed, and finally finished cleaning off most of what she could.
Rin immediately started to crack up. "Yeah, yeah, your majesty is always right." She hit Miku with little force, "but could you please stop calling me by that stupid nickname!?" God, that horrible nickname was from third grade, is she really bringing it back?
"What nickname? Rinny-Chan? Sorry, but I actually happen to love that name very much." The tealette placed the now bloodied handkerchief into her skirt pocket.
Rin puffed up her cheeks, "I swear to god Miku, if you do not stop calling me that, I'm gonna—"
Miku quickly cut her sentence off. "You're gonna what? The great Miku-Sama is invincible! I have memorized all of your attack patterns! Back down and bow before your queen, Rinny-Chan!" She pointed to the ground with a victorious smirk.
"Oh, you asked for it!" Getting into position, she playfully tackled Miku to the ground. To which she only received a laugh from the older teen. "Prepare yourself to receive my ultimate attack!"
"Nooo, Rinny-Chan, we shouldn't be doing these kinds of things in public! You'll be arrested on charges of rape!" Miku closed her eyes, acting to make Rin embarrassed. However, Rin didn't do as Miku thought she would.
"But Miku-Sama, it's not rape if you enjoy it," Rin replied, straddling Miku at the waist, testing how she would react. And this is what you get for calling me that atrocious nickname!
Cheeks reddened, Miku glanced up at the blonde, wondering when Rin had become so daring. Pulling out her red hand, she placed it in front of the tealette's face. In response, Miku turned her head sideways so that she was farther away from the blood. "Rin, this isn't a sanitary thing to do!"
While Rin was attempting to touch Miku's face, Gumi had been standing off to the side, watching the two bicker. Digging through her duffle bag, she picked out her phone. She flipped it on, and held it outwards, clicking a button afterwards. The electronic made a sound, alerting both the blonde and the tealette.
The two turned their heads and in unison said, "You did not do what I think you just did."
Gumi slyly smirked in response, showing off her phone screen to them. On the screen was a photo of Rin sitting atop Miku's waist with her legs on either side of the older teen. In short they were in a very compromising position. "I'm gonna have to send this to everyone."
Suddenly, Rin rolled off of Miku onto all fours. Never would she allow anyone else to see that picture. "Delete it, Gumi!" She cried, as she reached out to snatch the phone. The tealette who was still lying on her back slowly got to her feet.
"How about no?"
"Hey, Hey, Gumi-Chan! Send me that picture!" Swiftly Miku pulled out her phone, ready to receive the photo. She would definitely use it to embarrass Rin later.
"Already gotcha covered," the green haired girl replied, clicking a few buttons on her phone while dodging a frustrated Rin.
The annoyed blonde growled, "What the heck, you guys?!" A beep came from Miku's direction and she quickly typed in her passcode. "Are you serious?"
The older teen tapped around with her phone before shoving it into Rin's face. "Look, Rin! Look at my new background!"
Why the hell would you put that as your background, Miku? "Change it back!" Distressed, the orange lover covered her eyes, wishing to not see anymore.
"Why, Rinny Rin Rin-Chan?" Miku held the phone to her chest, putting up a sad face. "I cherish this picture with all my life now! I can't believe you expect me to change it."
Immediately, Rin crumpled to the ground, her head in between her knees, which had her arms wrapped around them. "Change iiiiiit," she drawled.
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes.
"No."
"No."
"Yes." Promptly, Rin lifted her head, "you tricked me!" She pointed to the evil teal-haired devil that stood still with a giant smile on her face.
"Yay! I get to keep this picture as my background, and with your permission, too!" Miku comically frolicked around the field.
Sighing from the stupidity, Gumi stepped up towards them. "Hey, hey, sorry to interrupt you two, but the team is waiting for you, Rin. I'm pretty sure you can come, Miku."
Silently, Rin held two fingers up to her eyes, pointed to Miku, and then back to her eyes. 'I'm watching you!' She mouthed to the older teen.
The female only laughed before speaking, "come on, Rin! I'm not that bad am I?" The trio began to walk towards the school, which was basked in a bright light.
The orange lover didn't answer, instead she turned her head away, ignoring Miku. "Hey, Gumi? When's the next game?"
"Aww don't ignore me, Rin!" Miku sped up, and leaned down to place her head on Rin's shoulder. "I love you! Do you love me, too~?" She inquired childishly.
"No, no, I don't. I'm mad at you," the younger female stated, staring off in another direction.
The tealette puffed her cheeks, "Awww, you don't love me when I love you so much, Rinny-Chan?" The senior began to pout in hopes that Rin would change her mind.
Rin huffed in response, her cheeks were dusted a light pink, although she knew that Miku was just joking. "Fine. Maybe I'll love you, if you change your background and behave In front of my teammates."
"Hmmm? Okay! But, afterwards you have to say 'I love you, Miku!'" The female said with a sly smirk, knowing that she wouldn't fail. "And you have to say it like you mean it! If you don't, I might just cry, Rinny-Chan."
"Miku, you can't keep your mouth shut for more than 40 seconds. I think I'm going to win this one. No doubt about it."
"We'll see about that, Rinny-Chan."
Rin noisily exhaled, not able to believe that Miku would be able to be quiet in front of people. They come to a stop at the school's back doors.
The school itself was a giant tower, big in length and height. Painted in a metallic gray color, the school stood taller than most buildings in the immediate surroundings. There were several windows, polished to the point where there were absolutely no fingerprints. Lastly there was a beautiful and luscious courtyard in the front, along with a modern clock tower.
Gumi pushed open one of the glass doors, allowing the other two to pass with a slight nod of acknowledgement.
With muscle memory, Rin lead them into the west wing of the school, ignoring Miku's annoying humming that constantly prodded at the back of her mind. Entering through another door, they were met with the rest of the soccer team's members. "Hey, guys!" Rin exclaimed, waving her hand excitedly.
"Rin! Oh my gosh, you're alright!" One of the members shouted, their face clearly mellowing out in relief. "They wouldn't let us come near you! Only Gumi could stay 'cause she was the first one there."
The blonde let out a nervous chuckle, rubbing the back of her head. "Ha, well at least I'm good now." The conversation between Rin and her teammates was on the right track—As Rin would like to say until they just had to ask the inevitable.
"Hey, I've been wondering this for a while, but who's the friend you've got there?" Number 12 raised their voice, pointing a finger to the tealette who had been unusually quiet.
"Oh, her?" Rin turned her head to see Miku with a sickeningly sweet smile. "This is my friend, Hatsune Miku. I thought you guys would've known her already." She raised an
eyebrow at the rest of her team.
Miku was a Vocaloid, it's uncommon to find someone who doesn't know about her—Though as much as Rin would like to admit, Miku was the most popular Vocaloid, too.
"Woah, do you mean The Hatsune Miku?" The coach piped up, interested in hearing the answer.
"If you mean the Vocaloid, then yes." Rin blanched at the faces her team made after immediately hearing that statement. The orange lover lightly poked the tealette with her elbow, "If you want to introduce yourself, you can."
Stepping out from behind her shorter friend, Miku waved her hand in a friendly manner. "Hi, I'm Hatsune Miku, and it's a pleasure to meet you all!"
Seeing Miku in the clear made Rin realize why nobody recognized her at first. The older teen was dressed up completely different than she normally is, though there really wasn't a difference between her facial features and hair style.
Miku was dressed in a pair of sable shorts that barely reached halfway down her thighs, and had a ivory blouse that changed to a brown at the top and bottom. Along with the blouse was a small red bow dangling from the collar.
Rin quickly swallowed the saliva that had slowly formed in her mouth as she was eyeing the older teen. Holy shit, I am so gay for my best friend... Snapping out of her thoughts, the female shook her head. "You guys do know that she goes to our school, right?"
Gumi spoke up, speaking for most of the team. "Yeah, but y'know they rarely ever see her since the 3rd years are usually in the east wing of the school."
"Ah, I see," Rin mumbled staring off to the side as Miku was way too distracting for the blonde.
"You're so lucky, Rin. Being able to live with Miku and all that."
Furrowing her eyebrows, Rin inquired, "You all do realize that I, too, am a Vocaloid, right?" Promptly, the group shared a distressed look before returning to talking amongst themselves.
Quickly they turned back to Rin and Miku "Yeah, but... You know..." The blonde tilted her head in confusion, what were they so afraid of saying?
"Man, this team is full of wussies," Gumi exclaimed, shaking her head in shame. "Rin, what they're trying to say is that you don't seem like you're fit, or should I say have the aura of a popular person."
Before anyone could speak up amongst the murmurs that flooded the room, Miku laughed at the comment. "Ha ha! It's okay, Rin! You'll always be my number one!" And with a wink, she folded her fingers, in front of her chest, into a heart shape.
Rin couldn't help but crack up herself, and she had to thank Miku later for saving her from the awkward silence that was to come. I might actually have to do Miku's request... "Wow to be Miku-Sama's number one is such an honor," Rin replied in a sarcastic voice.
Straightway, Miku held her fist in front of her shoulder, "Well, even the great Miku has times where she's like 'Rin-Chan, Now!'"
Rin felt her cheeks heat up at the mention of the song. The blonde hid her face in her hands. "Oh my god! Never bring up that song ever again! I beg of you!"
"Awww, but I love that song! It's one of my favorites! Actually, I think I like one song better than it, and it's by you!" Miku sang out, taking a deep breath to say the song she liked loudly. "It's called 'I can take off my—mmph!"
"AHHHHHH!" Within a moments notice, Rin had covered Miku's mouth with her hand and let out a loud scream in order to stop them from hearing the song name. Breathing loudly, Rin had no time to stop someone from asking any questions.
"Oh! Miku, so you know some of Rin's songs, right?" The tealette nodded in response with a giant, hidden grin. "Could you sing us one?"
Removing the younger teen's hand from her mouth, Miku opened her lips, "okay! What song, what song should I do?... Ah, I know! Okay, guys, get ready!"
Hey Hey Hey Hey!
Hey, could you wait a minute?
I'm sorry, just one little moment of your time?
Hey just one second, hey, for a little while.
I only want to spend some time with you.
So what should we do? What is there to do? I know! We could play a game together! Maybe a word game? Shirito'ri' – 'Ri'n!
Sorry, you must be bored with this already!
Maybe you're hungry?
Do you want something to eat?
I guess, I think I'll just have water to drink.
Yes, I noticed, I can see
When take your eyes from me.
Just how much I wish you and I could be.
And yet I watch you pass
Feel my heartbeat racing fast.
My mouth is dry, I can't find the words to say.
I just don't know what to do.
Speaking honestly and true.
It's no good, no luck, I'm too afraid.
I want to tell you just how I feel about you.
But why is it so difficult just for me to tell you?
Hey Hey Hey Hey!
Hey, could you wait a minute?
I'm sorry, just one little moment of your time?
Hey just a second, HEY! for a little while.
I only want to spend some time with you.
So what can we do? Just Let me think, now.
Um, maybe we could play Rock-Paper-Scissors?
Rock-paper-scissors! Uh, Something else then?
I'm sorry, I'm really no good at this am I?
Maybe you're hungry.
Do you want something to eat?
I guess, I think I'll just have water to drink.
Even if so suddenly, all these feelings inside me.
Leave my face red, leave me feeling kind of weak.
So, then would it be okay?
If today I heard you say something about you and me?
-Well, anyway-
I just don't know what to do.
Speaking honestly and true.
It's no good, no luck, I'm too afraid.
I want to tell you just how I feel about you.
But why is it so difficult just for me to tell you?
I wish that I could say it, sorry, I, wait a minute
I just want to, um, er I wish, hey, um, I can't say it.
You're the one that I, um, you're the one that I, uh
You're the one that I, er, you're the one that I , I–
Hey honestly, I um, truly I mean it, er,
I just want to tell you, uh–
You're the one that I-
Sort of, kind of, um, I mean it's just kind of–
Honestly truly and I wanted to tell you that–
I sort of kind of can't I'm not very good at this
I wish I wish I wasn't so nervous!
Just a minute!
I- That I- That- That I…
That I'm in love with–!
I- That I- That- That I…
That I'm in love with you.
On the finishing note, Miku pointed to Rin, winking with one of her weird grins. To which Rin turned her head the other way, surely her face was beet red. The crowd (her teammates actually, but they seemed more like ballistic animals at the moment) roared with cheers of praise.
Though, the embarrassed blonde did have to congratulate her best friend, she sung the song better than the blonde ever did. "Okay, Rin, now you have to sing a song."
"Huh? But I never agreed to singing a song..." The younger teen scrunched her face, watching Miku in confusion.
"I know," the tealette turned back to the crowd, "but doesn't everyone wanna hear Rin sing one of her favorite songs?"
"Yeah!" They all shouted in unison, and Rin shrinked in her spot.
"Ehhh... I don't know—"
Miku placed a hand on her shoulder, bringing her mouth extremely close to Rin's ear. "I'll buy you ice cream, if you do." Rin shuddered from the heat radiating off of her best friend. She could almost feel Miku's lips kissing—in reality: touching—her ear.
Heaving heavily, Rin reluctantly replied, "Fine. Just this once."
Backing up Miku added on to her terms, "And it has to be one of my songs."
"Yeah, yeah, got it."
Inhaling through her nose, Rin opened her mouth.
I was created beyond the comprehension of science
I didn't come with a leek, but I'd very much like one.
On that day,
I was quietly chosen from the countless members of my peers.
Someday I'd like to ask their reason of choosing me.
Hey, please hurry up
and insert me into your computer.
What's the matter?
Why do you keep staring at the package?
I'll make you Miku-Miku!
As for my singing, I'm still trying my best.
Since I belong only to you,
I want you to
take good care of me.
I will make you
Miku-Miku all year round!
The two of us are going to make songs,
so please get ready slightly, (because I will make you).
I understand that I don't yet possess a visible form,
but I am living, too, as I am talking to you.
Therefore,
surpassing the virtual limits, within the teeming information,
I want to start evolving together with you.
I heard it last night,
your humming, that is.
I look forward to
being able to sing that song tomorrow.
I will always make you Miku-Miku!
To continue singing is my happiness.
Sometimes I may make mistakes,
but you always pretend not to notice,
so that's why I will make you Miku-Miku!
I want to convey my feelings to you
more than to anyone else in this world,
so please always let me be with you, (no matter when).
No matter how gifted or smart an approaching girl may be,
I believe that we will be able to always stick together.
If you recall things about me,
if you miss me,
if you want to see me,
if you want to hear my voice,
any time...
I'm gonna make you Miku-Miku!
I will try my best until the very end.
I know you have faith in your ability,
but if you are still somehow worried,
then I'm gonna make you Miku-Miku!
No matter where you may be in this world,
I will seek you out and convey that to you.
So please just
give yourself a little break.
I will make you Miku-Miku!
I will still keep trying my best.
You always hum for me,
you always dazed by me,
so I will make you Miku-Miku!
I want to convey "I like you a lot!"
to you more than to anyone else in this world,
so please let me sing more songs.
I will make you Miku-Miku!
At the end of the song Rin took a pose, mimicking Miku's famous stance. She stood tall, legs apart, but feet facing forward, leaning towards the side, and her arms at her side.
Grinning, Rin brought out her fist to her friend, who had been singing along with her, except only on the lyrics where she said 'I'll Miku Miku you!' Miku held out her fist, bumping it with Rin's. "Nice job, Rinny!"
Suddenly, Miku enveloped Rin in a bear hug, nevertheless Rin returned it just as hard. I guess Miku deserves her reward for mostly behaving in front of my friends. Ignoring the nickname, the blonde stood on her tip toes. Reaching her neck upwards, Rin brought her lips close to Miku's ear, whispering quietly. "I love you, Miku."
The younger teen could hear, Miku's breathing shortly stop, but took no notice of it. Backing out of the hug, Rin smiled.
"How was it?" When the female glanced at the crowd, all she saw was everyone holding their phones up. Their faces were composed of either awe or pure excitement. "I guess that means I did good."
Now back to normal, Miku rubbed Rin's head, messing up her already ruined hair style. The blonde stood still, loving the feeling of Miku's fingers skimming through her hair.
The moment was cut short, much to Rin's disappointment, when Miku removed her hand to rest it on the blonde's shoulder. "I'm sorry, but I think we're gonna have to go. It's about time for dinner," Miku stated, turning around with her other waving hand in the air.
Most of the team ended up whining about their retreat, but eventually they—What Rin would like to say—sucked up and let them go. They all said their goodbyes, and Miku and Rin were finally on their way back. "Hey, we're going to go get ice cream, right Miku?"
The said female slowly ambled along the dimly lit streets. "Yep! You earned it after singing that song."
Rin hummed to herself, "Miku?" A question that had been buzzing at the back of her head was finally about to be asked.
"What's up?" The tealette inquired, eyes still on the concrete sidewalk ahead of them.
"I was wondering," Rin began to twiddle her fingers together, "why you didn't come to movie night." The blonde stared up into the endless sky. "I was waiting for you the whole entire night, and you never came."
Stopping in her tracks, Miku glanced over to Rin with wide eyes. "You were waiting for me?" The tealette made a distressed expression. "I'm so sorry, Rin. The reason I didn't come was I had a recording that day."
The younger teen turned around. "A recording? You could've told me..," Rin mumbled. I was quite sad when you didn't end up coming. She thought to herself, unable to say such words to her best friend due to embarrassment.
"Awww, Rinny-Chan!" Miku made a dash for the blonde, squeezing the life out of her. "I promise I'll tell you next time! Don't be mad at meee~"
Rin lightly chuckled at the comical tears that threatened to fall from Miku's eyes. "No, it's fine. You did good today, so I guess I can forgive you." The blonde's cheeks slowly dyed a crimson color from how close Miku was to her. "Now, let's go. I haven't eaten anything today."
"Okay!"
Rin's day ended on a good note, but what she didn't realize was what was going to hit her next.
