'One more tick...and I'll shoot that goddamn timer.'
Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick.
She nearly lost her cool and raised her hand to knock it across the room, but stopped herself right before her hand came into contact with its plastic casing. It was timing down for a reason. Part of her wished it would never stop counting down the minutes while another desperately wanted it to hurry up and ring. Hope and dread convened in a sickening battle in her stomach, causing her to cross her arms and hunch over, hiding her face in the space created between her abdomen , arms, and legs. She couldn't stop thinking about the object she'd hidden in her medicine cabinet. After she'd used it, she couldn't bring herself to look at it until she had to.
A bout of anger rose from somewhere inside her and Rin reached out and punched the wall on her left. Not hard enough to break anything, but she noticed that a few of her knuckles popped when they collided with it. She sat back up, leaning against the wall behind her and wringing her hands together. She drew her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees, staring at the swirls in the wooden cabinet doors in front of her.
'This never would have happened if Len and I hadn't. . .' she blushed as she thought of the things the two done together for the past few months. 'I wouldn't have to be sitting here stressing if it weren't for...' Rin couldn't make herself finish the thought. It was so embarrassing, yet she found such pleasure in it; it confused her.
The timer began to belt out the metallic sound of the bell contained within it, startling Rin. She put a hand to her chest and took a deep breath as she hauled herself off of the floor to silence it. She set it back on the countertop, her hands trembling. She picked the sheet with instructions in several different languages up out of the sink and brushed a lock of hair behind her shoulder, exhaling sharply to calm herself.
"Pink means positive, blue means negative. Simple enough." Rin eyed the medicine cabinet door and slowly reached out to grab it. She wrapped her fingers around the knob and squeezed her eyes shut as she pulled, forcing one eye open when the hinges refused to turn anymore. There on the clear glass shelves sat the object which could possibly determine the rest of her life, change her plans for her education, and even bring her career as a Vocaloid to an abrupt end.
'Enough standing here stressing over it,' Rin thought, huffing as she reached out and grabbed the pregnancy test, deliberately covering the middle of it with the palm of her hand so she wouldn't see the results right away. She looked down at the hand hiding whatever color stripes which lay beneath it, biting her lip and drawing in a slow, trembling breath. She released the air in her lungs through her nose as she pulled her hand away.
Rin stood silently looking at the results displayed in the windows of the pregnancy test for nearly thirty seconds before the reality hit her in the head with its proverbial sledgehammer. She dropped the test due to her slowly numbing, trembling hands. It clattered on the floor as Rin backed into the wall behind her. She brought her hands to her mouth and slid down to the floor, her eyes wide and her mouth agape beneath her hands. This couldn't be real. No. No. No. The test was wrong. It had to be! Those cheap tests at the pharmacy weren't the most accurate things in the world. Everybody knew that!
Rin harshly planted a hand to her forehead when she glanced at the packaging the test had been nestled inside of when she bought it. It boasted of being professionally approved as 95% accurate. The chances of the undetermined 5% being in her favor were probably just shy of impossible. It was time to own up to the truth.
"I'm pregnant. . .!"
Rin hadn't been sick when she initially took the test, but only a few minutes after she saw the results, she found herself hunched over the toilet, emptying her stomach of everything she'd eaten for lunch. Surely her nausea couldn't be totally accounted to morning sickness – Rin hadn't been sick to her stomach at all for months. 'Fear...yeah, that's it. Fear. Totally.'
A knock on the door startled her again.
"What is it?" Rin asked, standing up at the sink to rinse her mouth out.
"Are you okay?" a masculine voice asked from the other side of the door. Rin felt herself melt at the sound of it. "It sounds like you're getting sick."
Rin smiled as she turned off the tap water and shook the water from her hands. "I'm alright, Kaito, lunch probably didn't agree with me, that's all!"
'I'm such a liar.'
"Alright. . .if you're sure. . .I just worry, you know. . ."
Rin dried her hands and opened the door. She was immediately caught in the snare of Kaito's entrancing eyes, blue as methane. She let herself fall into his open arms and listened to the sound of his heart beating in his chest. She closed her eyes and reveled in the sensation of Kaito running his fingers through her golden locks.
"You worry about me too much, Kaito," she murmured, snuggling her face into his chest. He chuckled and hugged her a little tighter.
"With as beautiful a girl as you, I have to worry; otherwise someone else could come and take you away." He said, pushing her away just enough to look into her eyes. He placed a gentle hand on her cheek and caressed her rather pale skin with his thumb. Rin's expression changed to a childish pout.
"For someone to take me from you would mean that I'd have to consent to them taking me, you know." Kaito smiled and brushed his lips against her forehead.
"I guess I do worry too much, then."
'I'm such a lying bitch.'
A few hours later, Rin lay on her bed, staring up at her ceiling. The realization that she was pregnant hadn't quite finished sinking in yet. How would she explain to people that she was pregnant? She was sixteen – certainly too young for this. Maybe she could say she was raped – nah, Kaito would flip and ask for details to find out more about her assailant so he could go hunt him down and avenge her. She wouldn't be able to keep up with a story like that. Perhaps. . .she could just say she didn't know how she'd managed to get pregnant and thus didn't know who the father was.
Rin sat up and hugged her knees to her chest. Who was she kidding? She was a horrible liar. Only Kaito and Len never saw through her deceptions. Even if they didn't know she was lying, Meiko, Luka, or Miku would. Rin knew perfectly well who the father was. How could she not know? She'd only slept with one guy in all her sixteen years – Len. That kind of made him a suspect.
'I'm gonna have to tell him the truth eventually,' Rin thought, laying back down and subconsciously placing a hand on her now-flat stomach. 'This is one secret I can't keep forever.'
