One-shot poem-ish fanfic. Inspired by RinxLen Magnet, but you can interpret it however you want.
Rin Kagamine: Virtual Reality
Being "perfect" comes with a price.
If you're perfect, that means you're not human. And if you're not human, then what are you? If you're me, you're virtual.
I started as an idea in someone's head. And then one day, they decided to make me a reality. A virtual reality.
My body is a 3-D model on a computer. My voice is a series of tones and sounds programmed into software. My face is a collection of pixels on a screen or a hologram reflected onto a mirror.
What would I give for a body with flesh and blood? I wouldn't care about imperfections. Even if my body was plagued with the most wretched diseases on Earth, wouldn't it be worth it to know what it's like to touch? To see? To hear? To smell, breathe, think, taste, and love with a real heart, mind, body and soul?
I look into my loved one's eyes and I feel a pull on my heart. I reach for his hand, but my fingers slip through his as if he's not even there.
How is it that I can feel these emotions stirring inside me when I can't even feel the sun warm my face, or a cool breeze touch my cheek?
Sometimes I forget we're not human. When he holds me, I expect to feel warmth, but there is nothing there. We kiss and there is no spark. I long to feel his lips massaging mine, but it's useless. When I open my eyes, I realize we are just an image, a cold, empty image with no physical means to grasp to.
He's all I've got to cling onto, and even he's not really there.
What am I to do?
I'm a girl trapped in a world where everything and everyone I love is just a virtual reality.
I know... it's short. But after listening to Rin and Len's version of Magnet over and over, I felt compelled to write a short and bittersweet little poem. It's meant to be RinxLen, but you can really imagine it with any Vocaloid pairing. And in this case, Rin and Len are meant to be just lovers, NOT twins. Anyway, please comment/review.
