Ladies First (Megurine Luka x Hatsune Miku)

LUKA POV

I sip my coffee in silence. I'm up early morning, however outside it looks to be noon. 

"Ah, rise and shine Pinkie Pie," Gumi sarcastically spats. I mumble to myself a series of random words even I myself am unsure of. 

"Yeah, right." I sit up a couple inches so my face meets Gumi's. She's making her own coffee, getting rid of mine. Dick.

"Luka!" Miku runs up to me, her little feet inches away from mine. I snort, she looks too cute for this horrid world. She snuggles me tightly, still in her pajamas.

"Go' morning Miku," I respond back. Miku gives me a thick hug, one that sparks jealousy in Gumi.

She rolls her eyes, and for the first time ever I see her distressed. I am about to ask her what's wrong, when the doorbell rings. "Wait, we have a doorbell?" Miku asks.

Gumi smirks. She opens up the door to welcome in a tall blonde man in his mid-twenties. He has colorful eyes, a playful grin... Yohio.

Yohio waves to us. "Hi!" he squeaks cheerfully. Miku rushes to my side, she really doesn't know what to do. I sigh, sometimes she's just too strange.

"Ah, Luka, your girlfriend. I saw you yesterday. Was the food good?" he asks, trying to spark a conversation. His own voice seems like a joke, although he's trying his hardest to be serious.

Gumi smiles. "Luka, you know of him?" I nod. I know him a little too well. 

"Ah, then Miku. This is my boyfriend, Yohio." Yohio bows to Miku. "Nice to meet you, Miku," he says politely. Miku bows back.

The word 'boyfriend' echoes in my mind. Gumi has a lover now, what does that mean for Miku and us?

Gumi giggles, her green hair bouncing with each breath. "Don't worry you two! We aren't moving out until the end of the week!" 

"End of the week... Gumi, it's Friday," Miku reminds her. Her and Yohio Eskimo kiss, which causes Miku to take me by the shirt and hold on for dear life. I laugh, even though I'm the most uncomfortable I've ever been in my entire life.

"We're going to start packing now, so he's going to be with us today and tomorrow," Gumi announces. I cringe at the thought of spending all day with the fucking idiot known as Yohio, so I take just another step to the right to avoid making any physical contact with the moron. 

Gumi leads Yohio in her bedroom, while I go and change. Miku follows me, even though she dips through corners and whatnot to avoid crossing paths with Yohio.

We start cleaning up the bedroom, as Gumi instructs all of us to take out every piece of furniture. I'm about to argue she isn't doing anything, until I notice the entire house is spotless. She cleaned up everything, not even a speck of dirt is anywhere.

"Miku, can you help me just a little bit?" I hear Yohio from across the room. Miku groans and walks over with a tired expression on her face. As soon as Miku is turned away, Gumi grabs me by the shirt collar and drags me outside.

Gumi instructs me to sit on a park bench right outside of the door to the apartment building. She sits next to me, her eyes turning a shade of serious that I've never seen before.

"Luka, are you scared you won't be able to support Miku in the long run while I'm gone?" I nod. Tears well up in my eyes. "Is it because you lost your job?" I nod again. 

Gumi sighs. "Luka, Miku will be fine. I told you, I trust you with her. You make her happy." 

A tear involuntarily escapes my eye. I'm too afraid to say anything because I don't want to fuck up my words again.

Gumi sneaks her hand towards mine and squeezes it tightly. "I wasn't going to say this, but I'm only moving to help Miku." 

My wet eyes flash towards Gumi. She looks tall and strong, even though she's several inches shorter than me.

"Why?!" I feel my brain urge me to yell at her. She knows I don't have a job. She knows I don't have a stable emotional state. She knows I fail at everything I do. She's putting me with Miku, so Miku can suffer under me. Why would she think I was the answer?

"Because Miku loves you. I told you before, I parent her. But now she's found the love of her life. Not a very successful love, but a strong one. One that I now won't break apart when things get tough. One that will stay together through thick and thin, and one that will find its way to happiness."

Tears start spilling from Gumi's eyes. Even she has a soft spot.

"Miku's now nineteen. I have to let go of her, like a baby bird leaving the nest. She's been under my wing and shelter for too long now. I want her to be happy when I'm no longer here."

I feel my heart shatter into tiny little drops of sorrow. Gumi wants me to protect Miku, because she can't anymore. She leaves now, because I'm with her. I make her happy.

A long period of silence falls upon us. The only thing filling the empty void are the repetitive sobs Gumi makes. After a while, I join too, the feeling of leaving her makes me too sad to keep a straight face.

I finally sit up, my mind feeling much better. "Gumi, how long will it be until everything's packed up?" I ask.

Gumi sniffs and shakes her head. "Only today. I've been planning this for a month now, in between when you guys are gone."

For whatever reason, I find it funny. But I don't laugh. "Where are you going?" I ask her.

"Florida. Yohio has always wanted to live down there."

I snort. The thought of Yohio in a swimsuit is too much for me. "Well, where are Miku and I gonna stay?" 

Gumi sits up and smiles at me. "You guys are gonna live here," she announces.

I feel overjoyed and disappointed at the same time. "But what about my apartment, and the smoke smells, and-" Gumi holds a finger to my face.

"Don't worry, you can just sell your apartment. Besides this place doesn't have an odor. I only smoke when I'm stressed."

I laugh, and Gumi gets up to lead me inside. Just as we get up, a moving truck pulls in. 

Miku and Yohio got most of the grunt work done. Most all of Gumi's personal items are stacked away in boxes, all that needs to be done now is getting them in the truck.

We load them up, and wave farewell. Suddenly Miku pipes up as they leave the driveway. 

"Gumi, what are going to do with the extra room?" she yells.

"Don't worry, you'll find use for it somehow!" Gumi yells back. I could be sure I saw her wink back too.

The leave the lot and down the road, as we wave goodbye. It almost seems distant, just a month and a half ago I didn't know who she was. Now, we wave goodbye as she starts a new chapter in her life.

Miku and I walk inside, the empty apartment looking quiet as ever. "You got Gumi's phone number, right?" I ask Miku. She nods.

I smile, as we sit down together on the sofa.

"So, you wanna watch some Netflix?" Miku asks as I stretch my legs.

I grin. "Well, I do wanna have some form of entertainment," I say as I unbutton my shirt. 

~DON'T SCREAM AT ME FOR NO SMUT I'LL MAkE uP FOR IT I PRoMISE. This chapter was really fast to make for some reason, maybe it's just because I finally have the hang of making longer chapters. I'm really holding on to this book, just because I have BIG news in the second half of this. Oh, and I shall make art of Yohioloid in a swimsuit, just you wait!~
