"Kaiiiiiito!"
"Nnn...What is it...? It's still early..." the bluenette muttered to whoever had called out his name.
"Wake uuuup! We have things to do today!"
Kaito felt someone pull him out of bed and onto the floor. "Okay, okay, I'm up..." he said standing. "Now let me get dressed."
***Gakupo's POV***
I left the room and stood outside, whistling while I waited for Kaito. Just then, Luka came down the hallway and grabbed my hand, pulling me into her room.
"Luka, what's going on?" I asked. Her face was red as she continued to grip my hand, looking at the floor.
"G-Gakupo...I...I really..." she began, turning more red.
"You really what?" I asked, my expression softening a bit. I had a feeling I knew what she was going to say to me, and a part of me didn't want to hear it.
"I-I really like you, Gakupo-kun!" she yelled, looking up at me and then looking back down again. I stood there just looking at her surprised. I knew she was going to say that, but it still shocked me.
"I-I'm sorry, Luka...I don't feel the same way about you..." I responded, frowning slightly.
"I know that." She raised her head to look at me with a cold glare. "It's Kaito, isn't it?"
"W-what?"
"I knew it. The way you look at him sometimes. You like him. Now get the fuck out of here and leave me alone." She opened the door and pushed me into the hallway, then slammed it behind me. By now Kaito was in the hallway, dressed in a module known as "Holiday". He gave me a questioning look but I assured him it was nothing.
***No one's POV***
Gakupo led Kaito to the kitchen. "What do you think...toast and orange juice for breakfast today?" he asked.
"Sure. Miso soup gets boring after a while," Kaito replied and got out the toaster. He put two slices of bread in, then got out the orange juice. Gakupo smiled warmly at him and got his own toast, and the two of them enjoyed their breakfast silently.
Just then, there was the sound of footsteps in the hallway and a very tired-looking Meiko entered the kitchen, wearing a T-shirt and athletic shorts. "Nnn...Morning, Gakupo. Morning, Kaito," she said, getting some coffee out of the drawer.
"Good morning, Meiko," Gakupo replied. The brunette didn't respond as she got out a mug and sleepily put some water in the coffeepot.
"Hey, Meiko...Do you know exactly why I was considered a failure...?" Kaito asked nervously.
"...It was because of what happened to your voice..." she responded, sitting down by the two boys. "He wasn't willing to move past it, once it was fixed...What an idiot."
"But I thought you hated Kaito?" Gakupo asked suspiciously. Meiko looked him straight in the eye, and he understood. "Oh...Tsundere." He laughed. "Or maybe you were just under the influence of alcohol."
"I suppose I am a tsundere..." she sighed, then placed her hand on Kaito's. "I'm sorry, the way I've been treating you isn't fair. You didn't deserve it, and I shouldn't be forgiven."
Kaito gave her a kind smile. "Everyone deserves a second chance," he began to say, then stood up and grabbed her shoulder, messing up her hair with his other hand and laughing. "You idiot!"
Meiko laughed as well and then hugged him. "Thank you...and I'm really sorry."
"It's okay!" Kaito said. "And now, Gakkun and I are gonna go work on a song!"
