~Eleven Years Ago~
"Rin. Len," a woman called up the staircase.
"Hurry up you two," a man exclaimed after waiting for their twins to appear.
A pair of children ran down the staircase after their parents' cries, the boy in the lead and the girl trailing behind him. Both shared similar features, such as their golden hair and cerulean eyes. Once they were both down, their parent's helped them put on their coats and then ushered them out of their house. In their mom's hands were two small duffle bags, one yellow and the other one orange.
The family of four walked out of their front yard and into the back of their house. The father walked over towards their blue Corolla and unlocked the doors with his twins and wife following behind him. Once the car beeped, the boy climbed into the left and the girl in the right back seat door. Excitedly they jumped into their car seats as their father started up the car. On the other hand their mom buckled them into their car seats and when she was done, she placed their bags next to them.
"Where are we going?" the girl asked as her parents buckled themselves in.
"Rin," her mom asked. "What did you and Len tell us what you wanted to do last night?"
"We wanted to be able to dance like the people in the story," Len answered for his sister.
"That's the only hint we're giving you two," their father replied as he carefully drove down the drive way.
After a few minutes their father parked the car in front of a building neither of the twins had seen before. On it there was a huge sign that read, Dance Academy. Rin looked back at her brother, smiling gleefully. He smiled back at her too, happy to see his sister happy.
Swiftly they unbuckled their car seats and grabbed their bags.
"Wait for me to open the door," their mom called as they looked at the building through the window. "I don't want either of you getting hit."
As the door opened wide, the two ran up to the clear glass wall of the studio. In there they saw a couple of dancers, probably in their late teens. They danced together perfectly, elegantly moving across the floor. Rin admired the girl ballerina, how she danced like the princess in the story book. All Len cared about was the amount of time he'd get to spend dancing with his sister.
"Len," she asked her brother. "Do you think we'll be like them someday?"
"Yes, my princess," he kissed his younger sister's hand.
"Do you think this was the right thing to do?" their father asked their mother as they wandered up towards their children. "If they stick with dance they'll be together all the time."
"As long as it somehow doesn't lead to anything romantic between them, I'll be fine."
~Rin P.O.V~
"First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth. And again."
My dance teacher, Lola, was forcing everyone to do positions again at the end of class, since apparently one of us didn't have the proper foot placement earlier during warm ups. Right now it was already six thirty and my parents always wanted Len and I home from dance before seven. I knew we'd probably come home late since we live on the edge of town which is forty five minutes away if we walk.
We'd all done at least nine sets of the positions and I felt my feet cramping. Personally I wanted to plop myself down on the floor and take a nap.
Lola had already moved my best friend, Miki, towards the front of the line, since apparently I talk too much with her. Thankfully Len and I were next to each other now, so we talked constantly when she wasn't looking.
"Don't you think she's she overreacting just a bit?" Len whispered in my ear as I tried to focus. I felt his firm chin resting against my shoulder. "Really if only one person messed up, shouldn't whoever it is should just do it by themselves?"
"What if the person was you," I coldly whispered as I looked away from my feet to face Len. His dark blue eyes were concentrated deeply on me causing me to blush. Really I have no clue why I'd be blushing. I like Len, but as a brother. Well I guess I never thought about us being more than siblings. I mean if we weren't siblings I would probably find him so much more attractive.
Suddenly while I was thinking about Len, I misplaced my feet and fell backwards. My vision had blurred making it impossible for me to catch myself. I tried reaching for the bar, but it was out of my grasp. I knew if I couldn't grab the bar, then the floor wasn't too far away.
Time seemed to have slowed down as I fell; now all I had to wait was for my head to hit the ground.
"Rin," I heard Len call my name before my eyes shut. As I lay there, I continued to wait for the floor to come in contact with my head. But nothing, all I felt was a pair of hands wrapped around my head. Slowly my eyes fluttered open, revealing Len's face inches away from mine; his lips centimeters away. My cheeks began heating up the longer Len and I stayed like that.
"Miss Kagamine," Lola called as she clapped her hands causing both Len and I to turn our heads. "If you want to talk to your brother so badly, then stop pretending that dance is a high priority of yours and leave."
"Sorry Lola," I stuttered as Len helped me back up to the bar. As he helped me, I noticed his sweet smile and flushed cheeks as he starred back at me.
Everyone else started laughing at Len and me, but Lola had them stop. Before we could enter the changing rooms, Lola said she had to announce something, so she ushered us all to sit in a circle on the freshly polished dance floor.
Len and I sat next to each other with our friends, Gumo and Miki sitting by our sides. Lola had pulled out a pile of packets out of her bag and asked us to pass them around. After passing Miki the pile, quickly I looked over the front page. On it was written, "Audition form for Crypton Academy."
Crypton Academy was an art school with three performing arts career focuses to choose from along with the regular classes. These were music, theater, and dance.
"Class," Lola exclaimed. "In a few weeks the talent scouts from Crypton Academy will be coming to our mid- summer recital. Everyone here will be dancing a solo, at least one duet and the group dance. Based on your performances they will pick the top four students and whoever they are they will be given a full scholarship to attend."
Miki and I turned to face each other. Her cheeks had already turned the same color as her hair. We both wanted to become prima ballerinas since we both started dancing at age four, going to Crypton Academy would give us an edge in the ballet world.
After Lola dismissed us Miki and I ran into the girls changing room along with the other girl dancers.
"Can you believe it Rin?" Miki exclaimed as she grabbed my hands. We began giggling as we jumped up and down in a circle like kids.
"I know right? This is like a dream."
The sound of my phone ringing caused me to let go of Miki's hands. I just got a text from Len and quickly I read it over.
To: Rin Kagamine
From: Len Kagamine
Hurry up. Gumo said he could give us a ride if you hurry.
"Who was that?" Miki asked.
"Len," I sighed as I slipped off my tights and leotard, replacing them with a tank top and some shorts. "I have to go or else he'll leave me here."
"See you at practice on Monday," Miki waved as I ran out of the door. Len and Gumo were waiting in front of the studio for me. Gumo was spinning the keys to his car around his finger as he talked to Len. I couldn't hear them too well, so I quietly walked up to them.
~Len P.O.V~
"Hey Len," Gumo called as I sent Rin a text. I looked up from my phone before placing it in the pocket of my duffle bag. "Why do you still take dance?"
I had an answer, but I wasn't going to tell my best friend it; even though we were really close. So I lied and said, "All the sports tryouts already happened at the end of the school year. I can't get on a team for anything."
"Then why not quit and get a new hobby?"
I had an answer for that question too. Because without dance, Rin would have a new pas de deux partner, since our teacher always pairs us up. I hate to admit it, but I've become jealous of the other guy dancers in Rin and I's class. Even though there weren't a lot of them, I knew if I wasn't there Rin would've dated most of them by now. She is pretty cute and kind to everyone in the company. Any one of the guys would be a dumb ass to not date her.
Another thing I hate to admit it is my loathe of dancing, I've continued taking lessons since Rin has always loved it. Ever since we read the book Cendrillon for the first time, she's always wanted to be able to dance like a princess. That day she told me she'd do anything possible to be a dancer and enjoy every second of it. Rin's kept her promise to this day by even liking the intense training that kept her body perfect shape for getting leads in the ballets.
"Dance isn't a bad hobby," I replied. "Besides it gets me out of taking gym next year so can take an extra elective."
"Good point," Gumo exclaimed as he twirled his car keys around his finger. We were waiting for Rin to show up, and literally a few seconds after Gumo spoke we heard footsteps behind us. Rin was timidly looking up at Gumo and me, her duffle bag in hand.
"You guys want to get going?" Gumo asked as he pointed to his hand me down car. Rin climbed in the backseat as Gumo and I got in the front. As we drove home, it was silent except for the sound of Rin texting in back. To block out the sound I turned on the radio, but much to my dismay it was broken.
"Sorry," Gumo explained, "I'm getting it fixed soon."
Gumo pulled the car up in front of our house. I had to repeat that we were home to Rin a few times before she left with me.
"Thanks Gumo," she waved as he drove off, her duffle bag in her other hand. Gumo gave her an alluring smile before I glared at him so he'd back off. He shrugged his shoulders at my actions as I placed an arm around my sister. She instantly began to stutter, which confused me. The only people who ever did that around me were my fan-girls. Even if I wasn't touching them, they'd still stutter.
I tried not to let it bother me as I pulled my house key out of my pocket. As we walked in we found a note from our parents. Apparently they both had weekend business trips so we were home alone for the weekend.
"So Rin," I asked her. Her gentle gaze and low cut tank top caused me to stutter the rest of my sentence as my cheeks warmed up. "What should we do?"
"I don't know," she yawned, stretching her arms out. Clearly she was exhausted from dance.
"If you want to just skip dinner and go to bed you can."
She tilted her head to the side as she opened her eyes wide like a puppy's. "Will you come up with me?"
We stood like that for a few minutes before I sighed in defeat. "Alright."
Rin cautiously wrapped her wrist around mine before leading me upstairs towards her room. After our fourteenth birthday our parents forced us each to get our own rooms. They were on opposite ends of the hallway, on the left was mine and Rin's was on the right.
Once we got to her room she tiredly pushed the door open. Her room wasn't too messy; just a few things were out of place. She grabbed something out of her dresser as I sat down on her bed. I turned so I faced her back. She was fiddling with something in her shirt before revealing her pulled off bra. Once she had it in her hand, she threw it towards me; causing it to land on my lap.
When she turned around she instantly blushed when she saw me holding her bra.
"I forgot you were there," she stuttered as she grabbed it from me and threw it in the hamper.
"Do you want me to leave? I can wait in the hallway or something."
"No it's fine, just turn around or something."
I did as my sister suggested. I turned to face her cream colored wall as she changed into her pajamas. When she called my name I turned around so see her wearing a long black tank top with a blue bow and some matching black shorts. In her hand was a hair brush that she brought to the bed as she sat down. As she placed her hand on the handle I placed mine over hers. I felt her hand heat up under mine causing us both to blush. I needed a reason for holding her hand; she was my sister after all and we'd never done anything like that before. "Can I brush your hair?"
"Sure Len," she skeptically replied as she shrugged her shoulders. Cautiously so I wouldn't hurt her I ran the brush through her golden hair. She seemed so calm and relaxed as I did this. After a while she leaned back into my chest. When I'd finished she was still lying against me.
"Rin," I called as I tapped on her shoulder. She didn't respond. Slowly I leaned over and realized she'd fallen asleep in my arms. Carefully I picked her up and tucked her into her bed. "Night Rin."
Before I left her room, I kissed her lightly on her forehead and a sweet moan escaped her lips.
A/N: After I closed my poll in September I remember there being a tie for Why Don't you Call Me Yet and Adolescence. Well today I finished the first chapter n.n
I sort of have an idea of the plot, but I'm not sure if its a good idea. If you have any ideas you want in the story please send me them either as a PM or in your REVIEW.
