Glitch Techs: Miko X Five One-Shots

Short Game of Truth & Dare

High Five opened his eyes, blinked a couple of times and afterwards rubbed them. He fixed his posture, or tried to, since he hadn't noticed a sleeping Miko on his shoulder previously. He had spent the night. Five looked at her and smiled tiredly. She looked so peaceful and cute sleeping and hugging his arm.

With his free hand, he put the hair that was in her face behind her ear. Upon doing that, a light rosy tint blossomed with a mini smile. Five assumed that she was awake based on the reaction, but quickly realized that she was still in a deep sleep.

Looking around, he noticed that they were on the couch, a couple of blankets over them and two controllers right there. Five had a bit of trouble remembering the events of the previous night but it hit him soon enough.

~ Last Night ~

It was nearly midnight and of course, the glitch tech partners were staying up playing some online video games. The two of them were sitting on the sofa, holding and swinging their arms intensely as they played their first person shooter, laughing and grinning.

"I keep lagging." Five stated after getting killed again. "I think you're just using that as an excuse." Miko laughed as she looked over at him. Five was smiling but he still claimed that he wasn't using that as an excuse. Rolling her eyes, she said, "Sureeeee. Let's say that."

They went on playing their game, gunshots going off on the screen. The tv was the only light that was illuminating the living room with the two gamers.

"I got last?!" Miko exclaimed as she stared at the leaderboards after the end of the free-for-all match. "Huh. And I thought I was doing horribly." High Five joked. Miko frowned at him and jabbed his arm in response. "Haha. Very funny." She tried to say it with a straight face but ended up giggling.

They went on playing more rounds and matches before Miko asked:

"Hey Five, truth or dare?"

The question certainly caught the male glitch tech by surprise. He looked over at her with widened eyes while the screen announced his death once more. Not wanting to look like a chicken, he went with dare.

Miko sat there for a moment, while also dying in the game, trying to come up with a dare. Curious, she came up with a dare that suited her:

"I dare you to tell me how you feel about me. And remember no chickening out." She laughed. However, Five was silent with a serious facial expression.

He looked down at the controller in his hands, and back up at the bright screen. Miko was still focused on the game, but she awaited for a response. "I...I like you.." Five muttered softly, making it hard for Miko to hear.

Their game had ended and Miko looked over at her friend. He was looking away from her, with a pink tint blossoming on his cheeks. Miko smiled innocently. "Aw Five, I like you too."  Five, surprised, looked back at her in shock with his face turning completely red. Her attention went back to the screen before Five realized that she thought he meant as a friend.

"N-No, Miko..I really like you.." Five muttered again. It was hard enough to get those words out with his throat tightening, now he had to repeat it. "I love you.." High Five said even softer, wincing, hoping for the best.

"I..I love you too, Five.." Miko whispered softly as well.

They were both looking down at their hands, madly blushing, as the battle music and gun shots went off on the screen. Besides the tv, it was silent.

"I have been for awhile now.." Five continued. "I've been wanting to get that off my chest for a long time.."

Miko's long hair covered her eyes, so he couldn't really tell exactly what all of her facial expression was saying. Worried about how silent she was being, Five tried to move his face to see hers.

Her next gesture surprised her.

Upon getting closer to her, Miko suddenly grabbed his shirt by the shoulders and reeled him in. All of a sudden, her lips crashed with his. Five's eyes widened at the sight and experience going on right in front of his eyes. It was nothing like he's ever done before. Their lips pressed together, making Five wanting to continue, but Miko cut it off. "I love you too, Five."

They stopped playing their video games and turned off the tv/gaming console. "You don't want to play anymore?" He asked, still flustered with what he said. "N-No, it's fine.." Miko whispered.

It was completely dark in the living room now, though Five and Miko could still see each other in the dark. Five scooted over to Miko and wrapped her arm around her, pulling in close. Miko didn't fight against it, she even wanted him to do it, so she began smiling to herself. "I can't believe you felt the same way," Five commented. Miko, snuggling up in his arms, laughed. "Neither did I!" She exclaimed happily. They both chuckled in the dark as High Five quickly pecked her on the cheek and slowly, the new couple drifted to sleep.

~ Present ~

Yawning, Five began to scratch the back of her head, silently massaging it. Miko's asleep smile only widened.

A couple of minutes later, Miko woke up and yawned, giving Five her signature smile. "Good morning!~" She sat up and stretched out her arms, puffing out her chest. "Good morning." Five answered back, still tired with bags under her eyes.

"Aww you look so tired!"

"Miko was surprisingly energetic in the mornings.."

Five smiled tiredly as he rubbed his eyes, watching Miko getting up and turning on the game system once again. She came back, lied down on his shoulder again and threw a controller on his lap. "How about another gaming session?" She grinned. High Five, still waking up, grinned back and nodded.

A couple of minutes into their game, Five felt completely awake. Sure it may seem like they're addicted to video games, but that's because they were. "Five, truth or dare?" She asked again.

High Five took at look at her expression. Her eyes were peering over at him, yet her face was still facing forward. Not to mention, Miko had a look of anticipation on her face. Five, knowing her probably better than anyone, knew what she wanted. "Dare." He grinned. The galaxy haired girl's face lit up with rosy tint. "I dare you tooooo...give me a kiss.." She muttered the last part, clearly embarrassed.

Five, without anticipating, grabbed her face and kisses her happily.
