He sat there at the bus stop, waiting for her. He had been waiting for a while and he became worried. They were supposed to go to their special place on top of a hill and stare down at the rows of flowers that created a carpet down the side as the sunset rested against their skin, holding each other close.
But she never showed up. He looked down at the bouquet of sunflowers in his hand and sighed.
"She's not coming Len... you should just give up." Said a deep voice from behind him. Len jumped and turned to see an individual with long purple hair and a silk kimono.
"She will come Gakupo. Just go away..." He pouted and turned, leaning back on the bench.
"But Len, she's dead. She died last year. How do you keep forgetting?" The other walked over and sat next to small teen, rolling his sleeves up a bit and turning his head to glance over at him. He studied his face and showed a sympathetic expression, wiping Len's tears away.
"I-I miss her so much... It's all my fault she's dead... I'm a fool..." Len sobbed and dropped the bouquet, hugging his purple-haired friend.
Gakupo caressed his hair and cooed to him. Len was like a son to him and Rin was like his daughter, but after her passing, Len and Gakupo haven't been the same. Kaito, Meiko, Luka and Gumi all banded together to try and make them feel better, but nothing really helped. Gakupo and Len were the most affected by this and slipped into a deep depression that only the two of them understood, they all missed Rin but the two missed her most.
They would do anything to get her back, or just to see her one more time. To see her bright smile and her kind eyes, watch her and Len run in the field of flowers and laugh like siblings do.
Len and Gakupo went home, going into Rin's untouched room and sitting on the floor. They then proceeded to sob and hold each other. Their world was empty without Rin, they couldn't do anything without her. They needed Rin. After that, they ended up crying themselves to sleep.
Luka came home later on and saw them asleep, a sad smile on her face. She helped them to bed, Neru in the kitchen. Gakupo and Len slept soundly and both woke at a later time, walking into the dining room and seeing that here was food made.
Len saw Neru and felt his eyes well up with tears. "N-Neru…" He sniffled and ran to her and hugged her tightly. Gakupo did the same to Luka and nuzzled into her neck. Neru gently rubbed Len's back and swayed.
"It's alright… don't cry… please." She kissed the top of his head and wiped the single tear that fell. "Have some food… please… We made this just for you two."
"You guys need to eat. I'll get you something to drink." Luka kissed Gakupo softly and sat him in a chair, going into the kitchen to get some drinks, Neru and Len sat down, holding hands as Len sniffled.
"H-How was South Korea...?" Len rested his head on Neru's shoulder and squeezed her hand.
"I had fun… but I'm sorry I missed Rin's Funeral… I should have been there." She pulled his hair out of its usual ponytail and ran her fingers through it.
"Our birthday is in a month… She would be 16…" Len whimpered and rubbed his eyes.
Luka came over with drinks and they all sat, had a moment of silence to honour Rin and then began eating, still in silence.
