After getting away from the shark, Kouki's been exploring the town, hearing the music play as always. Then, he heard someone else singing.

Miku Hatsune.

Following it, he came across the saloon and entered.

probably!

"It is!" He smiled when the familiar tune started playing the preview. "It's also the first song I heard Haru sing, too."

i love how you have a dedicated karaoke icon

"Oh, I see. So..." She reached down and got out another microphone. "You probably know it better than I do, then! So do you wanna sing it with me?" Did her hands graze his a little too long when she handed the mic to him? Nonsense. Nonsense. She just needed to make sure he didn't drop it, that's all.

[de_bel_survivor]

"If you like, of course!" He accepted the microphone with a smile. "Ready to sing, Hatsune?"

[future_hatsune]

"Yes~!" She pressed select and began to nod her head to the introductory instrumental.

[de_bel_survivor]

He tapped his finger to the beat, waiting for the lyrics to come. Once they came, he sing along.

[future_hatsune]

She followed behind him a little slowly, skipping a few of the words, especially the English that was difficult for her to pronounce.

[de_bel_survivor]

With the number of times he listened to it, he's able to sing the lyrics decently enough.

[future_hatsune]

After they were finished, she leaned back and sighed happily. This was nice. This was really nice.

"Hey, I... I really like you a lot, you know."

[de_bel_survivor]

He looked at her, surprised by her words. A confession?

"Really?"

[future_hatsune]

...it was kind of a confession, huh. Wasn't it. Ahahahaha...

"Yeah."

This would be the part where he said it back, right?

[de_bel_survivor]

"Yeah, I like you too."

As a friend, or something more?

[future_hatsune]

...!! "Okay, great!"

She leaned in and touched her forehead to his with a glowing laugh. It was pretty clear how she'd interpreted his response. Or was it?

[de_bel_survivor]

He just smiled, slightly leaning his forehead into hers.

He does like her and care about her a lot, no matter what.

[future_hatsune]

This was great. This was great and the capacitors on her motherboard were doing so many pulses a minute, she could barely maintain her breathing routines.

She was kind of looking around, shiftily but benevolent, trying to figure out if anyone else was around, whether it would be appropriate to kiss him.

[de_bel_survivor]

"...Is something the matter?"
