I want a Volks doll! -cries-

Title: People Toys {Short}

+

Warnings: Shoujo-ai overtones. I guess. Much crying.

Yuki didn't know exactly how it happened, but she had a “roommate”* now. A pretty little doll that went by the name of Leila-mei, but a female doll nonetheless. Dolls don't usually attach themselves to dolls, but Leila-mei was prone to attach herself to whatever she found pretty at the moment. And to her, Yuki was very desirable. In fact, Yuki made Leila-mei stop bothering George.

A cheerful voice, “Yu-ki-rin! Mei-mei is hungry...”
A slightly annoyed one, “You cook better, Mei-mei. I don't know why you insist on making me cook.”
A sad voice, “But Mei-mei likes Yuki-rin's cooking better! The love that goes into Yuki-rin's cooking makes Mei-mei feel all warm inside! And Mei-mei can't cook miso for beans.”
A soft voice, “Why don't you go bother Megan for miso? She's a better cook than I am. And stop referring to yourself in third person.”
A teary voice, “Yuki-rin...”

A teary Leila-mei was the prettiest thing on the planet, but not very many people ever witnessed it. It was also one of the most terrible, because it took a lot to upset her. Only one person has ever been able to make Leila-mei constantly cry, and it's Yuki. She feels bad, but she doesn't know exactly how it happened. Yuki never makes Matt cry and he's terribly easy to upset, as Ai-kun knows, but this doll... This pretty little doll named Leila-mei who only a handful have upset... Everyday Yuki upsets her unintentionally.

A softer voice, “Nakanaide, Mei-mei... Honto ni gomen... Nakanaide*!”

Unlike most spectacles of crying, Leila-mei's eyes do not get red or irritated. She doesn't wail or sniffle, she whimpers. It is almost painful to hear her whimper and watch crystal tears fall. Long, wet lashes look downward and her purple-tinted locks shield her from the world... Yuki hated it.

A pleading whisper, “Nakanaide... Nakanaide...”

The tears stopped, but the whimpering continued. Yuki let out a breathy sigh and pulled Leila-mei into her lap. Leila-mei leaned into Yuki and coughed pitifully. Her breathing regulated, and Yuki pulled Leila-mei closer. A soft, quite song floated in the air.

Slightly muffled singing, “Cross that line, hold me closer still. Look at me, hold that gaze... Stay with me forever... Don't speak!”

* Roommate is the word Megan likes to use for boyfriend. The rest of the Core picked it up and now it's taken as meaning "the one with whom you sleep" (no sexual overtones on the "sleep" 'cause Yuki&Mei-mei aren't like that). Nakanaide is don't cry and she basically says "I'm really sorry". (written for 30_originals)
