"Aaaaahhhh~!"

"Mmmmmm, this is so good, isn't it Len?"

Rin sighed airily, as she continued to happily lick her ice cream. Its cool was refreshing, especially on days as hot as this one.

"Yeah…" Regardless, for Len, perspiration was inevitable.

See earlier that day…

"Uuuuunnnnhhhh, L-Len…. It's so hoooot…"

The days had been delightfully warm, which was rare in the month of chilly February. By some weird twist of nature, it was unusually hot. The twins, sitting outside on the porch, door to the living room open, had been laying about, desperately trying to find a cool breeze in vain. The two tried to dress lightly as not to absorb anymore unnecessary heat. Len wore a plain, sleeveless, pastel sky blue shirt with white shorts. Rin wore a thin white spaghetti strap top, the straps stripped light pink and a similar blue to Len's shirt. It was short enough to show the slightest glimpse of her flat belly, which would normally feel drafty, but no such thing today. Her typical short-shorts where white with a blue end fold.

They were both hot and sweaty, but Len's problems were bigger. Rin was lazily sprawled out on the floor, sweaty and exposed. Her shirt, already midriff length, had hiked up way above her belly. That and the fact that he could practically see through the thin white material was no help at all. So least to say, he was feeling hot.

His face was tinted red, beads of sweat threatening to fall, but Rin just attributed it to his body's reaction to the temperature.

"This is bad…" He thought.

If he takes any more of this, Rin"ll really SEE how "hot" he was feeling. Wouldn't want that, huh kids?

"Leeeeennnn….!" Oh God, does that kinda sound like a moan?! "Leeeennn, can we puhleeeeeeze go somewhere and buy ice cream or something? I don't know how much of this I can take…" She was practically dying of the heat and getting desperate for solution.

Len paused.

Ice cream. That seemed like a good idea. Perfect! This would cool them off, and the chill would settle him down for a good while…

And so, here they are now, newly scooped cones in hand and licking away. Both of them requested two scoops; Rin a bright and colorful blueberry bottom and a delightful pink strawberry topper; Len a thick chocolate scoop and a smooth pastel yellow banana scoop to top.

Rin was taking eating her ice cream slowly, steadily licking it, wanting to make it last. At a sight like that, Len could barely start his.

"Oh my GOD someone is trying to spite me… I can feel it!"

"Rin why don't you eat it a little faster, or else it will start dripping and melt."

"Ah…. Guess you got a point... Hey wait! Says the dude who hasn't even started his! Yours is already melting!"

Len looked down and silently cursed, it was true, the banana and chocolate had already somewhat melded together and were creating gooey brownish trails headed straight for his hand. Finally starting on his own he tried to distract himself from his growing tension. After about a minute, he caught Rin staring at him as he ate it, causing him to feel uncomfortable with her eyes on him so intently.

"W-What, why are you staring at me?" Rin tilted her head. "Len your ice cream looks really good too." Without pause or warning, her face appeared so dangerously close to Len's that he thought she would crash into him. Putting her right hand over the hand he used to hold the ice cream, she took two licks.

"Mmmm~! It is good!" She said cheerfully. "No wonder you like banana so much!" Len was mentally trying to recover from what he had just experienced.

"Her face, her face! It was so close! Like kissing close!"

"HOW DARE YOU!"

*crash*

Thank God for the side step.

"A wild Kaito appeared and wants to battle! Len used side step!" The blonde teen mused in his head.

Unfazed by the fall the attacker bounced back up and started yelling.

"it's not very effective..."

"Waaaaaahhhhh! How could you guys go and get ice cream WITHOUT ME?! You're so cruel! Why would you leave me behind?!" He fell to his knees, put his arms on the ground and laid his head face down on top, crying, "I thought we were friends! Friends eat ice cream together! They don't leave their friends to die without ice cream! And you left me to die! Do you really hate me that much?! Just because I made your bananas into ice c-"

"Kaito-nii shut up!" Len yelled out of irritation.

"Len… Len, your so mean! Humph! Rin! Why? What about you? You don't want me to die do you? Do you?!" He played the theatrics for all they were worth as he hopelessly latched onto her shirt with his hands, the rest of him dragging on the ground.

Rin sighed, exasperation etched on her face and seeneither slump of her shoulders. "We don't hate you! How were we supposed to know you wanted to come?"

"…ice cream...and...lonely…"

Her eyes softened as she stood in defeat. Overboard melodrama?

"Fine, I'll come with you to get some…"

"Yay~! Thank you thank yooou~! I knew I could count on Rin-chan!"

He took her hand, which made Len twitch, and bounded off with her towards the ice cream place.

"Stupid Kaito-nii…"

"OH YERSH!" Kaito happily exclaimed, having gotten his most beloved. "Thank you Rin, I loooove you~!" He wraped both arms around side from the side, still holding his ice cream and kissed her cheek.

"Yeah yeah, Kaito-nii, just stop yelling…"

"What do you think you're DOING?!" The blonde was fuming.

"Hey get off of Rin!"

"Well, no need to be snippy about it." the blue haired boy pouted.

"Damn perv…"

As they continued walking, Rin's head perked up, looking as if an idea had struck her.

"Hey hey Len, we're not busy at all tomorrow right?"

Len's thoughts stopped, and for the briefest moment so did his breath. His answer was slow, "No, not as far as I know, why?"

"Because I just had the greatest idea like ever! Let's hang out with Rui and Rei! It's been forever and I miss them."

She was bouncing on the balls of her feet, exited at the idea of seeing their friends.

Len deflated. "Aaah…Sure." Truthfully he didn't really wanna see anyone tomorrow. It was Valentine's day and he wanted to spend alone time with Rin. He would finally be a man! Make a move! Sweep her off her feet! Syke, too cliche. But, he would try anyway… But if Rin wanted more company, well, he couldn't really say no could he.

"Oh oh! Can I go, can I go?!" Kaito bounced, waiving his hand in the air.

"NO!" Len yelled.

"Awww why not?"

"Just 'cause."

"Awww… meanie…" Kaito pouted.

"Harsh, Len." Rin said, glancing at the blue haired boy with the 4 year old pout face.

"It's Kaito, he'll get over it." Len just waved it off, sice he didn't particularly care.

"Alright then…" she trailed off, wondering if he really would. She saw him glance at his ice cream, then as if nothing had ever happened, his face lit up and he happily started licking away.

Meh, guess he'll be fine.

"Yay we have plans tomorrow!" Rin said cheerfully. "I say we go out to eat and shop!"

"Sure sure, whatever you say Rin."

Len isn't looking forward to spending the day with the Kagenes as much as he was partial to spending the day alone with her.

It's August 3rd 2012 and I've finally picked up revising. Hopefully I can get through these 3 chapters and start a chapter 4. Life's rough so I don't know when I can get off this unintended hiatus.
