#2 - Texts

Inside an almost empty apartment lies a hot chocolate on a table, slowly getting cold after being forgotten by the owner. It was spacious yet quite dull and empty as if the tenant just moved in. That's false though, since Megurine Luka has moved into this void area a year ago. Still, you can see a 55" TV playing a concert held by Crypton to its fans several months ago, being the only one lightening up the whole room while the rest gloomed. The cheerful music echoed through the desolate walls of the white apartment, not matching up with each other as it continues.

Sitting in front of the only thing that brightens up the atmosphere is the pink-haired girl in a huge tee hugging her knees while blankly staring at the screen. Beside her was her black smartphone, lying idle on the couch she's sitting on. Her hair was a mess; she probably didn't bother combing after getting out of those formal clothing earlier and switching a white tee that's too big for her size. She didn't mind though, she was just feeling blank and wandering off somewhere in her awakened dreamland.

Luka sighed once her thoughts started going back to the events earlier.

"Luka-chan, can you lend me your phone for a bit?" The tealette smiled at her brightly as she extended her hand out in front of the confused girl.

As if not being able to say no, Luka hesitantly rummaged through her pockets for the said phone.

"Sure." Not like she was keeping any secrets anyway.

Once the pinkette handed over her unlocked smartphone to the excited girl in front of her. Luka can already see sparkles and flowers all around them emitting from the popstar princess and this made her sweat. The pig-tailed girl started tapping on her phone without further ado; typing a bunch of numbers and letters while also navigating through.

"Here!" The tealette handed over the phone back with her giant smile still plastered on her face, "I added my number in there and I also took yours hehe~"

"Ehh..."

As Luka checked through her contacts, she easily saw what Miku was referring to due to its exaggerated emojis and overly-cute flowers on her name written as "My Beloved Miku-chan". The pinkette staggered at the sight while wearing a "what the hell" expression on her face. She looked at the glowing diva in front of her with the same face, glaring hardly.

"What?" Luka forced out a word from her mouth due to how dumbfounded she was.

"I did that so Luka-chan can easily find me!" Miku gave a peace sign and let out her tongue to show her mischief, "This way, we'll always have a way to contact each other and we won't be lonely "

"I see..." The pinkette scratched her head.

You mean you won't be lonely.

Luka just gave up and kept her phone away, "Thank you for that, I guess."

"Ehehehe~"

"Though," Luka looked at the girl with her eyes wearing a soft tone and a calm expression, "We'll be meeting everyday starting tomorrow so you won't really get lonely. I'll be with you and I'll always be right beside you."

With that simple statement, Miku froze and just stared at the pinkette with a blank expression. It lasted for about several seconds until the pinkette started feeling uncomfy. The Miku who was emitting waves of flowers and rainbows just stopped responding for a bit as if her internal program crashed.

"Did I say something bad...?" Luka, trying to break the ice, blurted out of panic. Though in response, Miku swayed her head to a no. A soft blush became visible on her cheeks.

"That was probably the sweetest thing I've heard in a while. Thank you, Luka-chan."

Badump.
