Let Me Help You (Mizuena)

Meeting at SEKAI

                                 Mizuki's POV:
I went on to Nightcord as soon as I got home, and started typing.

Amia:Hey guys! How about we meet up in SEKAI today, since it's MEIKO'S anniversary.

Yuki:I don't mind.

K:Sure.

Enanan:Alright!

I smiled as everybody agreed. I then realised that it was going to be a good few hours before we got to go. Also, if we meet at 25:00, MEIKO'S anniversary will already be over. (yes i made both of these chapters on her anniversary day)

I decided to visit now, in hopes that MEIKO would be there. I played "Composing The Future" and got teleported to the SEKAI.

When I arrived, the only person there was Megurine Luka. "Hey Luka!"
"Oh, hello Mizuki. What brings you here? Are you all meeting up early?"
"No, I came to see MEIKO. Today is her anniversary, right?" I asked.
"Mhm. She's currently at the STREET SEKAI. She will hopefully be here soon." She chuckled. "If you would like, I could go over there now and tell her she has a special visitor waiting for her?"
I nodded eagerly. Suddenly, a question came into my mind. "Luka, does MEIKO act like this in other SEKAI'S?"
"Hm? What do you mean?" Luka asked me, with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Does she just 'watch and observe' at other places?"
"Hm.. No. She doesn't." Suddenly, before I got the chance to ask Luka any more questions, she was gone. I frowned a little, thinking about the answer.

A few minutes later, MEIKO arrived. "Hello, Mizuki. Why have you come to see me?" Her tired expression showed, and I wasn't sure what to say now.
"Happy anniversary!" I said cheerfully. I seen a small look of surprise on her face, and her face settled back into her usual expression. "You remembered?"
"Of course I did! I have a pretty good memory when it comes to birthdays and stuff." I replied.

I thought I was seeing things, but I suddenly seen a small smile show on MEIKO'S face. "Thank you, Mizuki. I hope to celebrate your birthday with you next year.

It took me a moment to realise what she had said. "You know my birthday?"
"Of course, Miku told me. I will try to remember." Her smile disappeared. "Mizuki, how come you wanted to see me so badly? All I do is watch and observe, after all."

I chuckled. "Because you're important to me! Even if you block us out a lot, I think you're pretty cool." I smiled at MEIKO, but didn't get one in return, which wasn't overly surprising.

"Cool?" She asked. She thought to herself for a moment, and nodded. "Thank you. Are the others coming to visit?"

"Oh! I'll message them." I pulled out my phone and went on to Nightcord. Mafuyu should be finished school, so they should all be able to arrive.

Amia:Guys~! Can you come to SEKAI? I know it's a little early, but MEIKO is here!

K:Oh, okay.

Yuki:I am on my way.

Enanan:I'll come now!

I put my phone back in to my pocket. "They're on their way~!" I said to MEIKO cheerfully. Meiko didn't give much of a reaction, but I could tell she was happy about that.

Suddenly, Mafuyu appeared. "Hey Mafuyu!"
"Hello."
Kanade appeared a few seconds later, so I said hello to her too. Then, Ena came along afterwards.
"Hey Ena~" I said so her. "Hey, Ena. What time does your night classes start at?"

"They start in about an hour." She said to me. "So I can't stay for long." Suddenly, the other three girls noticed MEIKO was here.

"Happy anniversary, MEIKO." Kanade said with a small smile on her face. Mafuyu stood behind Kanade and nodded, as if she was saying that she thinks the same thing. I smirked.

"I have a ship name for you guys. KanaMafu!"
"W-What!?" Kanade blushed a little, and I could see a faint expression of surprise come across Mafuyu's face. She blushed a tiny bit. They both looked to the ground. Ena chuckled.

"Happy anniversary, MEIKO! I'll give you one of my drawings as a present- I just have to make it first." Ena said.

I smiled as everybody began to talk to each other, but I could feel some sadness too. We all got on so well.. so if I told them my secret.. what would happen then? Well- they already know I guess. MEIKO seems to know.. and the others refer to me as that.. but what if they just think that's what I am? They don't know the full story at all.. and Im scared to tell them. I decided to try and push it away from my mind.

Ena made her way towards me. She already knew something was wrong with me, but is waiting for me to tell her my secret.

"Mizuki.. are you okay?" She asked me. "You look pretty down.." I could see the concern on her face.
"Don't worry about me, Ena. I'm fine, I was just.. thinking about something." She sighed.
"Mizuki.. I don't want to pressure you, but Im not sure how much longer I can wait!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me somewhere where the others can't hear us.

"Ever since we had that talk on the rooftop, you still look upset.. You know, I told you that I would wait.. but I can't stand seeing you upset! I will wait, but I need you to tell me! Eventually.."

I saw how determined Ena was to help me, and I couldn't help but feel bad. "Ena.." I didn't want to tell her. I still wasn't ready. "I want to tell you, really badly. But I still think that I'm not ready.." I feel like that's a lie. How was I supposed to tell them all? Surprisingly, she nodded.

"Mizuki.. Just make sure you let me know what is troubling you. I don't care how long it takes, just tell me one day. Okay?"

I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. "Thank you, Ena." Ena comforted me a little and after a few minutes, we went back to the others.

"Hey." Kanade said to us. "Is everything alright?"
"Mhm!" I replied. I could see Ena glance at me out of the corner of my eye, but I kept my eyes on Kanade and Mafuyu. I turned around to MEIKO, and I seen a worried look on her face. But she said nothing.

I feel bad for not telling everybody, I really do. But I feel as if they will leave me if I say anything. I've been trying to distance myself from people so this situation would never happen, but.. That won't work with these guys.

Well, maybe Ena would understand. The others probably would too, but I can't be sure..
