Hey, everyone! This is my first fanfiction in quite a while so I'm trying my hand at it. Not only that but it's my first ever shot at yuri, so be easy on me. It's all soft yuri, but there is definitely some yaoi in here too. Can't do without some yaoi. So WARNING: girl/girl and guy/guy in this, but also maybe some hetero if I decide to add another pairing. Until noted otherwise, this is just some lovely Luka/Miku and Kaito/Len.
Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid or any of the characters. And I do my best to display how I think the characters act/converse with one another (although I may bend them a bit to fit this piece).
So, I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1
Sitting quietly off to the side of the classroom, Miku Hatsune palmed the side of her face and let a somewhat exasperated sigh escape between her soft lips. Her light teal eyes focusing on a pair of birds that fluttered around in the light spring breeze, rejoicing with one another over the end of a long winter and the promise of a new beginning of spring. Personally, Miku had always loved this time of year. With spring brought the sweet smell of rain and beautiful flowers that filled the fresh dew-covered meadows. All the animals were just now waking up and returning from their shelter from the bitter cold. It was only a matter of time that summer would follow, and summer could only mean one thing... the end of the school year. Not once did her eyes leave the couple of birds as they chirped happily, parting for a moment only to return together once more and carry off into the bright blue sky filled with soft and puffy white clouds just past the school's tall building. Oh, how she wished she could do the same. Anything to get away from this boring lesson about the history of the "feudal" Japan era.
"Miss Hatsune," she was suddenly ripped from her wonderful daydream to be facing the many turned heads of her classmates with a very unhappy looking teacher at the front of the room. "I would very much appreciate it if you would keep your eyes on me as much as possible during this lesson. This material is very important and will be on your year-end finals."
Feeling her cheeks burn nice and warm, Miku pursed her lips while giving a nod just before casting her eyes downward to the half blank sheet of her notebook. "Yes, Kamui-sensei. Sorry..."
Miku only peeked through her teal bangs to watch him close his book with a soft thumping sound. Letting out his own form of sigh, her teacher then reached up to pull gently at the center of his dark purple tie which went well with his matching purple hair just a few shades lighter. Removing his glasses, he turned away from the class. She knew that look by now, it was one that usually followed after he was done reprimanding someone by the end of class. It wasn't that he was a bad teacher, it was simply that no one really took as much of a passionate interest as he did when it came to subjects such as samurai lore.
"That is all for today, class. You may talk quietly amongst each other."
Turning around in her seat, Miku's closest friend named Rin Kagamine faced her from where she sat to her right. Rin always seemed to have this odd glow about her, because no matter what was going on she had this endless smile on her face. Despite her kind and sunny demeanor however, she knew how twisted Rin could be at times. Particularly, with her younger twin brother, Len. She really seemed to get a kick out of making him her own personal slave, even for some more than questionable methods.
"Looks like you made Kamui-sensei cut the lesson short today again, Miku!" She congratulated, giggling before glancing over at the man who was now writing something on the chalkboard with an almost longing look in her eyes. "Although I really do enjoy hearing him talk so passionately about samurais... have you ever noticed how his eyes just burn brightly?"
"Leave it to you to have the creepy crush on the teacher, Rin." Miku noted with a displeasured look upon her face. Ever since they had been placed in his class at the beginning of the year, Rin had been head over heels for their Japanese History teacher. She always did seem to have a thing for older men though.
"It's more than a crush!" Rin defended quickly, looking quite seriously despite the fact that her cheeks had a nice pink flush of embarrassment in them. Then returning her gaze back onto Kamui-sensei, she gave a dreamy exhale of breath. "It's love... One day, I'm going to marry that man."
"Yeah, well. Good luck with that." The older of the two replied back indifferently, gathering her things into a stack ontop of her desk.
"So," Rin suddenly began on a rampage of words (none of which Miku was listening to), pushing her very inappropriate teacher-student desires aside for now. The large white bow perched at the top of her head bobbed with every motion or gesture that she gave along with her golden blonde locks that Miku had always envied. Rin was always one of those pretty blonde girls with round blue eyes and a personality that shined enough to blind someone. Just about anyone liked her, including the upperclassmen. Meanwhile, Miku tended to keep to her close group of friends. She was somewhat on the shy side and before Rin she hadn't really had any friends. It wasn't like she wasn't friendly though, actually she was very friendly. People just seemed to really love picking on her, one of their favorite things to do was tug on her long pigtails. Her hair was long enough to sit on, much to her dismay. It was an absolute nightmare to clean and brush every night. She was really considering in chopping it all off and donating it, something useful like that.
"Miku, are you listening?"
"Huh?" She replied, blinking a couple times to look over at Rin who was staring at her expectedly.
Rolling her eyes, Rin's face scrunched up into one of irritation as she crossed her arms. "You weren't listening to a word I was saying, were you?!"
"Aw, Rin. Come on. Don't pick on Miku so much." Came a third voice.
Both girls turned only to see a boy who was the spitting image of Rin, only slightly more masculine and with his hair pulled back in a tiny ponytail with wild and spiky bangs. This was Rin's little brother, Len. Miku really liked Len, he was the voice of reason for his big sister although she hardly listened. While Rin was bossy and dominant, Len was passive and submissive. He did just about anything she said without hesitation, but even he got agitated with his sister's ways. Despite her controlling ways though, Rin was really the glue that held everything together. She always seemed to have a way of thinking up something clever whenever one of them was in trouble, and she was always very reliable in a time of need. In the end, Miku supposed that was why they were best friends since childhood.
"Oh, shut up. You're only sticking up for her because you're in love with her, Len!" Rin retorted, sticking her tongue out at him.
Flushing a bright red in the face, Len looked at Rin with a bewildered expression. "T-that was forever ago, Rin! Will you just drop it?" He stuttered.
Giggling at her brother's embarrassment, Rin then returned her attention back to Miku. "As I was saying, who are you going to ask to be your Valentine this year, Miku?"
"Oh... that." For Miku, Valentine's Day had never been a holiday worth much celebration. Every single year it was the same thing - the decisive and tedious process of picking out someone to ask, the panicking of what to get them as a present, the nerve-racking anxiety of asking them, then the painful rejection was a tiring ordeal filled with a lot of sweat and tears. For once she wished she didn't even have to bother with it, especially since at their school it was more traditional for the girls to ask the boys. Who even made up that dumb rule, anyway?! Miku wanted to know so she could punch the idiot right in the stomach.
"Hmm, so who?" Rin inquired once more, leaning toward her on the edge of her seat.
"I'm not going to ask anyone this year." Miku finally replied.
"Whaaat? What do you mean you're not going to ask anyone?"
"Well... I think it's a stupid tradition."
With a sigh, Rin shook her head in disappointment. "That's no fun..." Recovering, she then aimed a mischevious almost evil smile in Len's direction. "What about you, Len?"
"H-huh?"
"Who do you plan on asking to be your Valentine this year?"
"N-nobody..."
"You're lying! Lying! I can see it in your face! Who is it?"
"No one!"
"Don't lie to your big sister!"
"Ow, Rin! Cut it out! Stop stretching my face, that hurts!"
"Kagamine, do I have to separate you two again?"
"No, sorry Kamui-sensei..."
Once more returning her attention to the window she sat by, Miku vaguely heard the commotion surrounding her as the twins were reprimanded by their teacher for the third time that week. The truth was, Miku had been feeling down lately. She usually wasn't this pessimitic, but it was ironically in due to the circumstances of Valentine's Day being in a matter of days that she was feeling quite depressed lately. Because although she had told Rin that there wasn't anyone she had in mind of asking this year, it had been a lie. In reality, there was someone that Miku had interest in. The only thing was that it wasn't a boy. But how could she ever bring herself to tell her best friend something like that? Miku wasn't a lesbian, at least she didn't think so. She had crushes on boys before in the past, she liked the idea of maybe having a husband one day. But that didn't stop her from feeling what she was for a certain girl...
When the bell rang for class to end, Miku practically jumped out of her seat from surprise. "AH!" She cried out, falling over and crashing onto the floor. All the students around her aside from Rin and Len began laughing at her.
"Alright, class. That's enough. Go to your next class." Kamui-sensei scolded.
"Miku! Are you alright?" Rin questioned with a frown, getting out of her seat and holding her books to her small chest.
Rubbing her head, Miku groaned gently. Her legs sprawled up onto the seat of the desk while her back laid on the floor with her long pigtails looking like a discombobulated mess of teal hair. "Yeah... I'm alright."
"U-um, Miku..." Len stated, pointing over at the teal haired girl and looking like he was trying his very best to avert his eyes somewhere else while blushing.
With a glance downward, Miku's eyes widened as she realized the flap of her school uniform's skirt was flipped over giving the twins a front row seat of her sky blue and white horizontally striped panties. Gasping sharply, she quickly slapped it back down then hurried to smooth it out as if that would make any evidence that the situation had ever occurred suddenly vanish. But Rin's giggling made it very difficult to forget, however when it was cut short she couldn't help but peek her eyes open. Few things could make Rin stop laughing, and whatever had managed to do so obviously deserved her full and undivided attention. That was when she heard the soft footsteps of someone approaching. Looking beside her, the first thing Miku caught sight of was a pair of black boots with pink laces. Further traveling upwards were a pair of legs greeted with the same traditional skirt then blouse until around the well endowed bust greeted by long, beautiful locks of pink hair. A familiar and very unmistakable shade of pink that Miku knew all too well. When her eyes rested on the face of a young girl... or more-so woman, she felt her face burn wildly as she met a pair of pale blue eyes.
"My, that was quite a fall... Would you like a hand?" The girl questioned with a smile, offering one of her hands in assistance.
Swallowing hard, Miku wasn't sure how she had managed a nod before laying her hand into the the other female student's. To no surprise, the young woman's hand was soft and warm to the touch as she was helped up to her feet once again. For the moment, she was stunned and unable to speak as if someone had paralyzed her speaking abilities. But when her hand was then released, she felt a wave of disappointment crash over her.
"Megurine-senpai," Rin said in surprise before smiling. "Good morning!"
"Good morning," the pink haired girl returned warmly with her own soft smile. "I suppose it's a good thing I came in here, hm? It's too bad I hadn't come in sooner, I would have tried to catch you when you had fallen." She then glanced over at Miku.
"I... uh, yes." Miku replied dumbly, mentally kicking herself for her stupidity.
"Well, there's no need to be so shy just because I'm your upperclassman." She laughed then returned her attention to both of the girls. "I was supposed to make an announcement to the class, but I'm afraid Student Council made me a bit late..."
"Oh, that's right. You're the President of Student Council, aren't you?" Rin questioned.
"Yes, that's correct." She confirmed with a nod, crossing her arms over her chest. "Well, seeing as though you are the only two girls left in the room I guess I'll just let you know. For the next couple days, the Student Council will be working to decorate the school in celebration of Valentine's Day. But due to some of our staff being sick and recovering from that nasty flu that had been going around, we need some help... So if any girls would like to help, or boys," she added, looking over at Len. "I'm not so sure many boys would be interested as girls, but you are welcome to come."
"Len would love to!" Rin stated happily, tugging her brother in by the arm who gave a noise of surprise. Again, there she went with making Len's decisions for him. The look on Len's face was one Miku had seen many times before, that same look of pure agony. But by now, he was quite used to it and no longer argued against her.
A soft chuckle escaped the girl before she then continued. "Well, alright then. Any help given will give you some extra credit points in all your classes. It could easily bump some of your grades a whole letter. It's a very rare opportunity, I suggest you at least consider it. But it's not mandatory." Giving one last look over at Miku which made her freeze up, she then smiled. "I hope to see you all there."
And with that, the pink haired girl turned and walked out of the classroom. Somewhere within her chest, Miku could feel her heart swelling and threatening to burst. The moment was short-lived when Rin took hold of her hand, though.
"Miku, are you going to come with Len and me to help? It's a really great honor to work with someone as great as Megurine-senpai. Don't you think?"
Feeling her cheeks grown warm, Miku nodded meekly. "Yeah..."
Interlocking her arms with both Miku and Len while also managing to hold onto her books, Rin smiled. "Well, good then. We'll all go after class this afternoon!"
"But, Rin. What about mom?" Len questioned as they walked out of the classroom, his eyebrows furrowed with worry.
"Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure to let mother know at lunch time." She soothed, brushing any worries off.
"Well, okay then... I got to go to physical education. I'll see you guys later. Bye, Miku." Len stated, removing himself from his sister's hold and walking in the opposite direction.
"Bye, Len." Miku returned with a smile.
Once Len was long gone and the two of them were turning a corner in the hallway, Rin spoke with a rather soft tone as she looked around them curiously. Already, Miku could see Rin's eyes deciding how to decorate the halls in time for the lovey dovey holiday. Knowing her, there would be red and pink hearts everywhere. She was definietly the open romantic out of the two of them.
"I'm a little worried about Len."
"Huh? Why?"
"You mean you haven't noticed?" The blonde girl questioned, looking over at her best friend with a tilt of her head.
"Huh-uh, what?" Miku said with a shake of her head, looking curious.
"He's in love." Rin replied, sounding quite sure of it.
"What?" Eyes widening, she blinked a couple times before looking around her as if to make sure no one was listening in on them. When she was sure they weren't, Miku lowered her head close to Rin since she was a little bit shorter. "With who?"
It was probably a good thing she had, because Rin looked a little bit hesitant before she lowered her voice as well. "A boy."
"What?! ... wait, Rin. Are you sure? Or is this like last time when you thought Len was sneaking out at night to meet a girl when really he was sleep walking into the backyard?" Miku pointed out with a flat expression.
"No, no! I'm absolutely sure of it this time... and besides, what else would you think if your brother was coming home half naked in the mornings?" Rin defended with a pout.
"Okay, well... how do you know?" She asked, overlooking Rin's awkward question.
"Because every time he comes around, Len gets all blushy and he can't speak. You know how he used to get around you? And you know how he never looked forward to physical education? Now, he loves it! Because that's the only class he has with him."
Before she could stop herself, Miku squealed with joy as she clapped her hands. "Well, who is it?! Is it anyone I know?"
Cupping her hand hand over the side of her mouth so no one could hear her mouth the name, Rin then whispered into her best friend's ear. "Kaito Shion."
Gasping, Miku's eyes widened. "Gumi's boyfriend?"
"Yep," Rin said, nodding with her eyes closed.
"But Gumi's his best friend..." With a frown, Miku then understood why Rin was concerned about her brother. If what she said was true, Len was not only in love with a boy but also his best friend's boyfriend. As if one of those problems weren't enough alone. Kaito was obviously not gay, and even if he did return Len's feelings... Well, that would probably result in his friendship with Gumi ending. If there was one thing a girl could hardly forgive her best friend for, it was for directly or even indirectly being the cause for her breakup with her boyfriend. Especially if that friend ended up getting together with said boyfriend. So no matter how you thought about it, Len was in an awful position. And Miku couldn't help but notice the similarity between Len's problem and her own to an extent.
"Anyway, I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like Kaito is going to break up with Gumi for him anyway. I just hope Len gets over him fast before he gets hurt. I'm going to go to class now. See you at lunch, Miku!" Rin said, stopping beside her class and waving with a smile before heading on in.
"Yeah, see you." Miku said with a faint smile, waving.
Facing forward once more, Miku made her way down the hallway quietly. Her class was only a few feet away and she wished it wasn't. She needed more time to process all that was going on at the moment. Len was having secret romantic feelings for another guy who was completely off limits while Miku was struggling with her own secret feelings for another girl. And it was at that moment that she was finally able to think about what had happened in Kamui-sensei's room when the pink haired girl that Rin had referred to as "Megurine-senpai" had walked in (hopefully not seeing her underwear).
Her name was Luka Megurine, and she was senior. With her long pink hair, pale blue eyes, well endowed bust, small waist, and mile long legs - she was a dream. The ideal woman for any sane boy in school, and well over a typical school girl's feminine beauty. "Girl" wasn't a way that could describe Luka, she was much more a young woman than she was a girl. She was intelligent and clever - President of the School Council and Head of the Debate Team. Miku had heard that she was also once part of the Kendo Team and learned under Kamui-sensei as his shining pupil. Maybe that was why he was letting her visit his classes for announcements. Then again, all the teachers seemed to love her and every student in the entire school liked her. She was the girl that all the guys pined after but could never dream of getting because she was too mature for any of them. What was mostly important above all else was that Miku, somewhere along of the way, had fallen in love with her.
There was just one problem - she was a girl.
