someone, and a small gasp escapes her mouth.

"Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to-" She says, starting to turn around. She stops when she sees just who she bumped into- Gakupo. His dark purple hair is still in a pony tail, although he is dressed in a black t-shirt, a bow tie, black jeans, and sneakers.

"It's okay, I can forgive you." He says, one corner of his mouth turning up into a smirk. He sticks his thumbs into his front pocket. "You look great." He tells Luka. Luka blushes lightly and grins.

"You too. Never been to a party like this, huh?" She says, gesturing to his bow tie. He laughs loudly, and Luka finds herself laughing in response to him.

"It's that obvious? Ha, well, the parties I usually go to are a bit more formal than this, I guess. Kaito and Len brought me here. Your tealette friend invited us. I'm not really one for loud music and strobe lights, though." He tells her. Luka nods and sighs. "Yeah, same here. Miku wanted me to come, though. I wanted to go down the street to this little hang out and sing karaoke, but Miku insisted that I should come here instead." She says, laughing lightly.

Gakupo gasps. "The place only a block from here? That has a skating rink and everything is kind of anime themed, including all the karaoke songs?" He says. Luka looks up at him, her eyes wide.

"Y-yeah. You know it?" She asks. He nods enthusiastically. "I was going to go there tonight! But Kaito insisted I come here! Would you..... would you want to ditch this place and head over there for some karaoke with me?" He asks, a slight blush creeping up into his cheeks. Luka glances over at Miku, who is obviously busy flirting with Kaito. Then she looks back at Gakupo and nods.

"Why not? I don't think they would care. Let's go!" Luka says. She and Gakupo go outside and start walking down the street, talking about anime and video games that they both have interests in. Once they both get to the hang out, Gakupo holds open the door.

"Ladies first." He says, smiling. Luka walks inside and finds the karaoke machine. Gakupo comes up behind her.

"Hey, wanna do a duet?" He asks.

"Sure, why not?" Luka says, and they both find an anime opening and start singing, their voices melting together into perfect harmony. The other people there all clap, whistle, and some even shout for an encore. Luka and Gakupo laugh, jumping off the stage. They find a seat and sit across from each other. After a moment of silence, Luka looks up and locks her eyes with Gakupo's. Luka's stomach gets all fluttery, and she looks away, flustered.

"It's getting late.... I should probably get home. I have work tomorrow." Gakupo hesitates, and then nods.

"Yeah, of course. Same here. I'll walk you back to the party and to your car?" He asks, standing up.

"Sure..... I guess." Luka says. They walk outside into the chilly night and start walking back up the street, in complete silence.

"Hey..... this wasn't a date, right?" Luka asks awkwardly. Gakupo stares ahead of him for a minute, and then finally looks at Luka.

"I guess not. I suppose it could be classified as an accidental date, but no. I don't think it was a real date. It wasn't planned or anything. Right?" He says, shoving his hands into his pants pockets and looking ahead of him again. Luka bites her lip.

"Yeah. Totally." She laughs softly.

......An accidental date......

 

 

 

(A/N: Well, I think this chapter is a bit better than the last one. Kinda cute, if you ask me ^.^ I know the chapters are kind of long, but I just have so much to write, so bear with me! Remeber to leave reviews~ And keep reading!)

The First Kiss

Two weeks had pass since Miku's party. Since Luka and Gakupo's "accidental date". Since then, Gakupo had come into the diner Luka works at almost every other day. Luka and Gakupo talked constantly, and texted whenever they weren't face to face.

"Why don't you just ask him out?!" Miku exlaimed, plopping herself down on one of Luka's overstuffed bean bag chairs. It was Saturday, which meant no work.

"I don't know, Miku. I don't think I am really into him like that...." Luka lied, a light blush creeping across her face. Miku rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Don't even lie to yourself like that." Miku says. Luka climbs onto her bed and lies down on her stomach, burying her face into her pillow.

"Fine." She mumbles.

"Fine what...?" Miku asks, texting on her phone and not even bothering to look up at Luka as she replied.

"I'll ask him out. I guess." Luka says, still keeping her face in her pillow. Miku looks up at her friend and widens her eyes.

"Oh my gosh, really?!" Miku squeals. Luka sighs, looks up at Miku, and nods. Miku stands up and lets out a high pitched scream of joy. Luka nods again, letting a small smile play across her face. Miku runs to Lukas closet and pulls open the door. Luka, slightly confused, pushes herself off of her bed and curiously walks into her closet. Miku is flipping through all of Lukas clothes, muttering things like "Too pink, to ugly, too flashy, mmmm sexy but not good for a first date." Luka crosses her arms and cocks her head to one side.

"Miku?" Luka says. "What, may I ask, are you doing?"

"Mmmmm? Ah, I am picking out your clothes for you. For your date." Miku says inncoently. She begins lying dresses across her arms. These dresses are apparently ones she deems suitable.

"Aye, this is gonna be a long night." Luka sighs, leaning against the closet door frame.

Next Day

"Hey, Gakupo? Yeah, it's Luka. Would you.... would you like to go bowling tonight?" Luka's voice sounds a little shaky, even though she is trying to sound confident.

"Yeah! Totally!" Gakupos enthusiastic voice rings out over the phone. "See you at.... 5?"

Luka smiles. "Yeah. See you then." She says. She hangs up her phone and looks at Miku through her mirror. Her grin streches from ear to ear.

"Two hours. We have two hours to make you look good. I think we are going to need music for this to be possible." Miku says, going over to Luka's music player. She turns on her song "Rolling Girl" and picks up the outfit Luka and her agreed on last night. It consists of black jeggings, a black speghetti strap top with light pink stripes, and a black jacket. Luka pulls on the clothes and a pair of light pink converse.

"What should we do with my hair?" Luka asks Miku, running her hand through her long, pink and thick hair. Miku grabs a comb and starts combing through her friends hair.

"It looks great down. What we really want to worry about is your makeup." Miku sets down the comb and picks up a tube of mascara.

"He's here! Oh my god he's here!" Luka whisper yells to Miku when she hears a knock on the door. She wears pink lipstick, black mascara, and black eyeshadow that was applied lightly with pink and silver sparkles. Zipping up her jacket a little and running her fingers through her hair one last time, she runs down the stairs, Miku follwing close behind. She opens the door and Miku stays to the side, smiling. Gakupo wears a pair of nice jeans and a black hoodie. His hair is up in it's usual pony tail. He pulls a bouqet of white roses out from behind them and gives them to Luka with a shy smile.

"I remember you said they were your favorite. You look.... fantastic, by the way." Gakupo says, his smile becoming wider. Miku giggles in the background. Luka thanks Gakupo for the flowers, hands them to Miku, then follows Gakupo out to his car.

"Nice car." Luka says as she gets in, her hand running over the leather interior. Gakupo flashes a bright smile.

"Thanks. It's my pride and joy." He starts the car and starts driving down the street, his fingers tapping the steering wheel. After a few minutes, Gakupo pulls up into the parking lot of the bowling alley. He gets out of the car and hurries over to Luka's side to open her door. Luka steps out.

"My, my. What a gentleman you are." She teases. He laughs heartily and bows to her. They walk into the bowling alley and get shoes.

"I'll pay for you." Gakupo says. Luka shakes her head.

"No, no. You don't have to." She says, diggin around in her jacket pocket. Gakupo grabs hand.

"I want to." He says. He stares deeply in her eyes, and Luka feels it again. In the pit of her stomach. A light fluttering. A yearn. An urge to be closer to this handsome, soft spoken man. Luka quickly looks away and laughs lightly.

"Okay. Go for it." She says. Gakupo quickly pays for her and they go sit down at one of the open lanes.

After about an hour and a half of bowling, talking, flirting, and snacking on junk food, Luka stretches back in her chair.

"Are you about ready to go?" Gakupo asks, popping a french fry into his mouth. Luka nods.

"Yeah, probably. I have work tomorrow." She says. Gakupo sighs.

"Well, we are going to have to do this again." He says. Her eyes flick up to his face, but before they can make eye contact, she laughs and looks down at her hands.

"For sure. Next weekend?" She asks. Gakupo leans forward and rests his arms on the table.

"Sounds great. We could.... go to the park? Around seven? Next Saturday?" He suggests. Luka finds herself nodding.

"Yes! That sounds fantastic." She says.

They get up and return their bowling shoes, then head out to the car. As they drive back to Luka's house, the conversation stays constant, with light flirting here and there. Gakupo pulls up into Luka's driveway, and Luka sighs with a slight feeling of sadness. She gets out of the car, and Gakupo follws her up to the door. Once at the door, there is an awkward silence. Then, Gakupo leans forward slightly and places one of his hands on the side of Luka's face.

"I had fun tonight. I like you, Luka Megurine. I really, really do." He says. Luka blushes and smiles sheepishly.

"I like you, too, Gakupo." She confesses. Gakupo smirks and then leans closer. His lips press against her, and Luka's eyes flutter close. His mouth is warm and melts perfectly against hers. She wants nothing more than to stay with him, just like that, his lips against hers, his hands on her body. He pulls away, and Luka opens her eyes. Gakupo smiles again, then turns away and walks back to his car. Luka leans against the door and watches him. Before getting inside his car, Gakupo turns and looks at Luka.

"You're amazing, Luka! You're beautiful, and funny, and a great person all around! And you're a really great kisser! I hope I didn't ruin this night with my clumsy personality!" He shouts at her. Luka laughs, and Gakupo climbs into his car, starts the engine, then pulls out of the driveway.

And you, Gakupo, are one Hell of a
