A/N: The updated version of the first chapter! I didn't realize how short it was, since it looked like a pretty decent length on Microsoft Word, haha. So I made it a bit longer, but this is supposed a short-ish thing.
As you may have noticed, I changed the summary while I was at it. I'm trying to finish the second chapter soon, but SCHOOL. D:
The parts in italics is from the past, and the parts in normal lettering is the present. As always, feedback is welcome and I hope you enjoy!

She panted, running through the streets as fast as she could. Everything in her peripheral vision was blurred in a mesh of colours. Almost like abstract art, she absentmindedly mused.
Looking around a little to make sure she was heading the right way, she didn't realize she was inching towards the street until she bumped into something.
"I'm sorry!" she exclaimed and continued on her way, not noticing the odd looks and amused chuckles she got for apologizing to a pole she ran into.
Cheeks flushed in a bright pink, she stopped at an intersection. Chewing on her lip while waiting for the signal to change, she worriedly checked her teal wristwatch decorated with little bananas. Being late was not an option.
He ran as fast as he could, clutching onto the brown paper bag of groceries his mother had sent him out for. He didn't mind though, since she was making his and his older twin sister, Rin Kagamine, favourite dishes today.
It's my birthday today, he thought, a grin threatening to split across his face. Good things always happened on his birthday without fail, and he was anticipating this year's for the whole day.
"Excuse me!" he panted, squeezing through the oddly crowded street. The sun was about to set, and usually only a few people would be milling about around this time.
Going around the last turn, he stared at the slowly darkening sky.
He sped up his pace a little more. He didn't want father and mother to worry, and a whining Rin is not something that should happen, especially on their birthday. Being late was not an option.
Nearing her destination, she looked at her watch for the umpteenth time. Letting out a sigh at the discovery that she still had a plentiful amount of time, she slowed to a stop to nervously examine herself in the glass of a nearby 'Subways'.
Pulling a little at her ruffled, orange skirt that ended just above her knees, her lips tilted up into a smile as she twirled and deemed herself presentable. She pulled out her phone to quickly text a thank you to Rin, who told her that her pair of black flats with the little white swirl accents would be better than heels.
Walking, she unconsciously put a little spring to her step as she continued towards her destination.
He was met with the eyes of the most beautiful girl he ever saw.
In his surprise, he clumsily skidded to a stop, resulting in a few items from his bag falling out. Hastily kneeling down to pick them up, he let out a quiet noise of surprise when his hand came in contact with hers.
Looking up, his breath caught. She truly was a beauty to behold, with a soft smile which lighted up her blue eyes that were so much like his, yet so different. Varying shades blended together, from the teal colour of her hair to the calm cloudless sky on a summer's day. Yet, there was also sadness behind those eyes, the colour of the raging sea during a storm tinting them.
Her eyes lit up when she spotted the daydreaming boy leaning against a tree. His blond hair, so much like his sister's, was tied in his signature small ponytail and his disarray of bangs that she loved to play with was gently swaying to the wind.
Unable to contain the bubbly warm feeling welling up, she jogged towards him while waving her arm and hand high up in the air. He looked up when his name slipped past her lips, a small smile dancing on his face while holding his arms wide open for her to land into.
"Len!" she affectionately said, giggling as he spun her around once before setting her down and kissing her hand.
Smiling lightly with a light blush dusting his cheeks, he thanked her and kneeled down on one knee. He willed the blush to go away, with only little success much to his embarrassment.
"My name's Len, Len Kagamine." he smiled, kissing her hand. "Might I have the honour of yours?" A crimson hue settled on her cheeks while she told him her name and a grin formed on his face.
On his 14th birthday, something amazing happened like he thought. He didn't know at that time, but he met the love of his life.
This was the beginning.
