Len could feel his face grow hot. Not only did he just crash into the cutest, most popular, and best songstress on campus, but from his spot on the floor he had a good view of her panties. Luckily, she didn't notice that.
"Waaaaaaahhh!" Miku wailed, flailing her arms around. "Oh my God, I am soooo sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going! Sorry, sorry!"
Len sweatdropped. "Uh…Hatsune-san…don't worry about it…"
Unfortunately, she was already dashing down the hall. "I'm so sorryyyyyyyyyyy!!"
"HATSUNE-SAN, WAIT!!"
Too late. Miku was already gone. Everyone turned and stared at Len.
"Ooooooh, you made the school idol cryyyyyyyyy…"
"When did you get here?!" Len yelled at Rin, who was smirking insolently.
"Ten seconds ago. Really, did you expect me to not see that amazing spectacle? It was hilarious!"
"I hate you."
"Ohohoho."
Len turned to Kaito, who was rather bewildered. "Kaito! Help me out here!"
"Uh…" Kaito hesitated. "Maybe…you could find her and apologize...?"
The bell rang before Len had a chance to give any input.
Len ended up spending first and second period stewing in his guilt, while a bunch of eyes pointed and stared in every class. He never meant to make Miku run off. He never knew she was so sensitive!
In all honesty, Len had expected her to punch him and leave him in the hall for looking up her skirt if anything else. Although he didn't worship her like 80% of the boys at school did, he did admire her from afar but never said anything to her out of the assumption she was an arrogant, himedere diva chick. The fact that she apparently wasn't just added on to his guilt.
At break, Len was so guilt-ridden that all he felt like doing was laying his head on the table and groaning.
"What's wrong, Len-kun? Why are you groaning?"
It was Lenka. Lenka and her brother Rinto were Rin and Len's cousins, who also went to Crypton High.
"I'm groaning because I made the school idol cry by accident," said Len lowly.
"Really?" Lenka's eyebrows went up. "What did you say?"
"Nothing!" Len replied, exasperated. "She just ran off!"
Lenka frowned. "Ah…that does sound like her."
"Huh?"
"Hatsune-san can shy sometimes," Lenka explained. "If she doesn't see you too much or doesn't know you too well, she'll get shy and run away."
There was that guilt again. Len sighed. "So, do you have any advice?"
"Sure," said Lenka. "Talk to her."
"What?!"
"You heard me. Talk to her. I promise you, Len—she's not gonna bite your head off for scaring her in the hallway," Lenka said matter-of-factly.
"But…but…what do I say?! What will I do?!"
"Just calm down and explain yourself," said Lenka. "She's no Tsundere—you'll be fine." With that, she got up and left as the bell for class rung again.
★★★Bokkaroido!★★★
Len entered music class filled with dread.
He shared this class with Miku.
As he came in, he saw her smiling and laughing with the other students as she usually did. She seemed to be over the whole ordeal, which made Len relax the tiniest bit.
Everyone hurried to their seats as the music teacher, Miriam, entered the room. "Hello, class."
"Hello, Miriam-sensei."
"Today, we're going to be practicing rock music," said Miriam. "If you brought an electric or bass guitar like I asked, bring it out now."
Random students began taking out their numerous models of guitars while Miku silently opened her own guitar case. Which meant everyone had to turn around and see.
Miku pulled out an extraordinary bottle green and white Fender guitar, which made all the students (except Len) fall into her popularity-enducing spell.
"Wow!"
"Great guitar, Miku!"
"You always have the best stuff, Miku-chan!"
"You rock, Hatsune-senpai!"
"Thanks, everybody!" Miku smiled appreciatively as Miriam got the class to settle down.
"OK, everyone, I want you all to partner up and take turns playing the guitar," said Miriam. "If you don't have one, you can use the spare acoustic guitars in the band room. Now, let's go!"
As expected, the class (except Len) immediately swarmed Miku.
"Be my partner, Miku-chan!"
"No, be mine!"
"Please be my partner, Miku-sama!"
Len sweatdropped. If he was going to talk to her, might as well get it over with. Summoning his wits, he exclaimed, "Hatsune-san is MY partner!"
Everyone turned and glared at him.
"R-right, Hatsune-san?"
Miku was growing pink in the face. "Um…y-yeah!" She began to nod vigoriously. "Yeah! I am!" She started to walk over to him, but before going she turned and bowed. "Sorry, everyone…"
The rest of class peered at Len with jealousy before splitting up into pairs of students. Len picked a spot while Miku got her guitar. She thrust it at him. "Do you mind playing? I can sing, if you want."
Len put the strap over his head. "Uh, sure."
"OK." She cleared her throat and nodded, giving him the cue. So he began to play…
…and she began to sing.
Kore wa boku no shunkan no katei wo ichi peeji me desu.
Everyone turned and looked.
Dakishimetai kara, nihon ashi de aruku
Hitori ja sabishii kara, kimi to ikisuru yo
"Nee, mama. Boku suki na hito ga dekitanda."
"Omedetou."
Aitai yo.
Nee, kimi wa imagoro dare no chichi wo sutte ikiteru no?
Kotoba wa mou oboeta ka na?
Len almost slipped on a few notes. He couldn't believe how good this girl's voice was.
Papa, mama, niina.
"Yokudekimashita."
"Ima sugu iku ne."
Are? Okashii na…
Kimi wo dakishimeru tame ni, ukaseta maeashi ga
Naze ga kimi wo kitdzukuke hajimerunda?
Oboetate no kotoba datte kimi no tsukisasu naifu
Kirisaku raifu
"Jaa, atashi ga naifu hanasu mae no
Kono kuchi wo, kono kuchi de, fusaide agemashou."
Everyone immediately began to become mesmerized by the idol's song. Even Miriam had started looking.
Aitai no chu.
Nee, kimi wa imakara atashi no iki wo sutte ikiteku no
Kotoba wa mou daeki de sabitsuita
Len began his solo as Miku jammed next to him, smiling cutely. Len almost tripped on his chords again.
Nee, kimi wa imasara boku no iki wo sutte
"Daisuki" da nante itte miseru kedo
Sore nara mou isou
Bonbe no you ni isshou
Boku no haku kotoba sutte ikikaete
Everyone burst into cheers as Miriam began to clap. Len looked at Miku, who was beaming with happiness.
"Uh…Hatsune-san?"
"Hmm?"
"I'm sorry for scaring you this morning."
Miku winked. "Don't worry about it. What's your name?"
Len smiled softly. "Kagamine Len."
"Nice to meet you, Kagamine Len-kun." She smiled back at him. "You're a nice guy, Len-kun."
Len blushed.
