pilz: ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ i don't know what i'm doing, but i'll try my best. this is my first fanfic so i hope i do well! this actually came from a roleplay we did; i was rin and beluga was len, so each character's part is for the most part written by their respective author. there's only a little kaito in this chapter, but next chapter there'll be lots of him and even miku! anyways i hope you enjoy the story.

Beluga: This is going to be a fun project, I can feel it. That and I live a life of fanfics that weren't meant to be posted but that's fine because I live for popularity and social online praise.Also, this is my first multi-chaptered fanfic, and we plan to try to update once a week (and if not, at least between every fourteen days).

It had been a calm spring day, particularly one that was the start of a break at a certain school. There was anticipation amongst different cliques and groups of people, as well as friends who hadn't seen each other for a while. For one certain banana-haired boy the day passed slowly, as he checked his phone often looking at the message a friend had sent him; "Hey, wanna hang out today?"

For a certain girl with a bow and clips in her hair, excitement sped up her day; she internally cheered at every bell so she could finally hang out with her friend.

The final bell rang for the school day; people piled out of the classes and the school to begin their break. The blonde boy sat at a table in front of the school, anxiously waiting on someone, checking his phone and texting a friend who wasn't at the school that day. A blonde girl, Rin, walked out of the school happily and cheerfully. Upon seeing the boy, Len, she happily walked toward him.

"Hey Lenny," Rin said cheerfully as she leaned over him. "What's up?"

Len's attention was lost in his phone until he looked up at Rin. "Hello Rinny! I'm just listening to Kaito go on about the fundamentals of ice cream, or something." Seeing her didn't quite register with his mind that she was the person he was waiting for, so his eyes darted back to his phone.

"Ooh! Is he at the parlor right now? I'm craving some orange sherbet, wanna go?" As Len continued to text on his phone and didn't reply to Rin, she pouted. "Len! Do you wanna go or not? I'll buy you a banana split," she offered.

Len then realized Rin was talking to him. He got up from the bench he'd been sitting on. "Yeah I think he is, since he didn't show up to school today. Where's the ice cream place?"

"You haven't been there? Wow Lenny, I feel bad for you. Their stuff is amazing. . . not that I've really had anything but their orange sherbet," she admitted, giggling. "And it's just down the street, about a five minute walk." She pulled the blond haired boy up from the bench, and started fast walking down the street, then realising her friend wasn't keeping up. "C'mon Lenny, I don't wanna miss Kaito."

"Okaaay, I'm hurrying," Len started to move a bit faster down the street, at least until he caught up with Rin. "No I haven't, I've been too focused on schoolwork and song writing and Kaito to pay attention to the new place."

"Okay, fine. . . but since you've been so focused on songwriting, I wanna hear one sometime," she said with a smirk.

"Bu-bu-" he began to sweat a bit out of nervousness, "a lot of them are silly duets and such."

"Aww Len, it's okay. I'm sure they're great, and I'll even sing one with you if you want," Rin winked and giggled.

He began to mess with his fingers, "Uhm, thanks. . ." He raised his head to look around, not seeing the ice cream shop. "Where is it? We should be seeing it now."

"Yeah, it's right here actually," she pointed across the parking lot they had just entered. Rin quickly ran across to the door of the shop, then turned around to wait for Len. "Here it is Lenny!" She peeked in the window and, seeing Kaito, waved excitedly.

Len lightly ran to the door of the ice cream shop. "Oh, it's Kaito, I, really wonder why he'd be here," Len said sarcastically.

Rin ignored this comment and opened the door, scurrying over to Kaito. "Hey Kaito!" He waved because his mouth was filled with ice cream. "Ooh, mint? Lenny, put your stuff down and come with me to order." She put her backpack on the chair across from Kaito, while Len put his near a different chair at the same table while giving the blue haired boy some form of greeting. She pulled out a few bills from her purse, then walked over to the counter to order-finally slowing down for Len.

When Len finished greeting Kaito, he walked up to the counter where Rin was, looking at the list of flavors. "Wow, there're a lot of flavors, Rin. . ."

She nodded excitedly, "They have a huge selection, but I can't bring myself to get anything other than orange. . . So what do you want, Lenny?"

"I'll have something with bananas."

"Banana split sound good? They have plain banana ice cream and strawberry-banana ice cream, too, though. . ." She thought for a moment. "Well, I did promise you a banana split earlier, unless you want something else. What do you say, Len?"

"Is there something with banana and orange? Or just strawberry and banana?"

"Hmm, we could ask them to put a scoop of banana and orange together. . ."

"Okay! Let's see if they'll do that."

"Okay, cool." She turned to the man at the counter and ordered. When the orange sherbet and banana-orange ice cream was arranged and given to them, Rin handed him a five dollar bill. She turned to Len and gave him his ice cream. "Here ya go, Lenny!"

He happily accepted the ice cream. "Thank you, Rinny!"

"No problem!" she beamed. They walked back to their table. "Hey Kaito, we can't stay long, sorry, but Len's tutoring me today. It was nice to see you though!"

Len however, already sitting at the table eating, stopped mid-bite of his ice cream and quickly swallowed. his face beamed both of surprise and amazement. "Uh, yeah, it was nice to see you Kaito, and sorry I haven't been responding to your stuff lately, but I'll text you later for sure." It was likely untrue since he was going to be with Rin all day, still he got up and left the shop.

"Bye Kaito! Don't eat too much of that or you'll get sick!" Rin said, leaving Kaito alone with his ice cream (which he will likely still eat too much of). Once they were out the door, she asked, "So Lenny, my place or yours?"

He took a quick moment to think. "We haven't been to yours in a while. . ."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." They walked to her house in silence because they were eating their treats.

• • •

Rin walked into her house and walked into the kitchen, with Len following her, to throw away the plastic ice cream bowl. "Throw your bowl in the trash, Lenny. I don't need any trash lying around in my room," she told Len, winking.

Len threw his empty ice cream bowl in the trash. "Yeah, I would've even if didn't say to do that."

"Whatever you say, Len," she said as she began walking up to her room. It was a large room, mostly tidy, with a desk that was larger than the usual you'd find in a bedroom. There was a stack of sheet music by her bed and some fancy music equipment (such as headphones and a keyboard; things for recording songs). She put her backpack on the floor by her desk.

Len walked behind Rin into her room, taking in how much larger her room seemed than it used to be. Maybe it really has been a long time since I was here last, he thought. He took his bag off of him, placed it near the door, and walked to her bed, lazily pointing at it. "Can I sit, Rinny?"

"Yeah, sure." She picked up the keyboard and turned to him; "So Lenny, tell me about these songs you've been writing," she said, slightly giggling.

He was a bit surprised that she brought it up, but it was okay. "Well, one of them is about a boy who steals anything for his mistress, no matter how hard it would seem to be to get, and he never gets caught. As time goes on, his feelings get in the way, but she just ignores them by saying he's being funny."

"Ooh, that sounds interesting. Is it a duet? I'd like to sing it with you sometime," she said, then picked up a piece of music from the stack by her bed. "I finished this one over the week, it's about a girl trying to confess her feelings to the person she's in love with," Rin explained with a bright smile, then put it back down. "We've got work to do first, though, maybe we'll sing another time."

"We should probably start on that work then. . ." His tone was not too excited, but when was work ever fun, even though he's smart and it's easy for him? "So, what should we start with?"

She thought for a moment, then said, "We should probably start math. . . if I don't get help soon, I'll probably end up failing." She was exaggerating; she had a B, which wasn't too bad, but she didn't completely understand the current material.

Len was somewhat relieved that it was something easy to learn. He got his things out of his backpack so he could show her the material while he helped her learn.

• • •

After a while of teaching, Len put his hand on the cover of the open math book that he had wanted to close. "So do you understand it now?"

"Yeah, it's much more clear. Thank you, Lenny!" she said, giving Len a tight hug. She was much more confident in the class now, and relieved she finally understood.

His cheeks burned from happiness, and he hugged her back. Wow, I made Rin happy!' he thought. "I, uhm. . . You're welcome," he said happily, although slightly embarrassed.

Rin released him and walked over to her bed to sit down. She stretched out and yawned, "That was tiring. . . So what do you want to do now, Lenny? Do you have to go home soon?"

Len reached into his pocket for his phone. I'm already here, he thought as he scrolled through the menus on his phone. "You think I could spend the night?"

Rin brightened up, "Yeah, sure Lenny! My mom and sister are out tonight, so it's just me, and I'm sure they won't mind. Are you hungry?"

He texted his dad. Sure, he might be a bit skeptical about me sleeping over with a girl, but it's whatever, he thought while putting his phone back into his pocket. Then he felt around his stomach, realizing that he his last real meal was breakfast, and even then that wasn't much. "Yeah, a bit."

"Does ramen sound good?" she asked, getting up and heading toward the door of her room. "If not, there are some leftovers. . . or cereal. . . and we can always snack a bit later on."

"Ramen sounds good, Rin." He stretched a bit, then got up quickly to put his phone on the charger and followed her out of the room.

"Okay." Rin walked down to the kitchen and filled up the tea kettle, setting the stove on high. As she was waiting for the water to boil, she sat down at the table and peeled an orange. "Oh, Len, there's a few bananas over on the counter if you want one," she offered.

"Thanks." He would have taken one, but he didn't want to eat anything before Rin had made the ramen. "So how was your week?"

She finished chewing a piece of the orange. "It was busy as usual, and slightly confusing, but other than that it was pretty great," she said, then added cheerfully, "especially since I now get to spend more time with my best friend Lenny!"

Len smiled, his week was just boring, since all he did was study things he already knew and play around with music. It was nice to finally be with a friend. "Yeah, I'm really happy I get to spend time with you as well, Rinny!"

Rin smiled back. Then the kettle began to screech, so she turned off the stove, put ramen into a couple bowls, poured the hot water in them, and covered them with lids. She sat back down again to wait for the ramen to cook. "So what do you want to do after we eat? Watch a movie maybe?"

He thought about movies they could watch, when he remembered a movie that had recently come out. "After we eat we can go out and get Big Hero Six, if you're interested."

"Ooh, good idea Lenny! I actually have a copy, it arrived yesterday. I hear it's really sad, I hope I won't cry. . ." she said, not wanting to cry in front of Len. That would be embarrassing. She ate another orange slice.

"Well if you cry, I'd cry too Rinny," he giggled, but what he was saying was mostly true; his frail heart couldn't take upsetting things.

This comforted her. "Our ramen should be ready now," she said and brought the two bowls over to the table. "Here ya go, Lenny." She began to slurp her noodles.

Len started to eat the meal Rin had made for him, finding it better than most ramen he'd eaten. "This is really good, Rin!"

"Aww, thanks Lenny, but really it's just from a packet," Rin said, blushing.

He laughed a bit, and then jokingly said, "Well, then you must have made it with extra love and care." He laughed again and continued to eat the ramen she had made.

"That's right Lenny," Rin said, laughing. She finished off her ramen and put the bowl in the sink. "So I was thinking maybe we could do something else before the movie? I don't really know what, it's just that movies feel like a night thing, and it's only 5:30. . ."

He ate what was left of his ramen. "Well we do have all day, so sure, is there anything you really want to do? Because if not, we can try to sing one of the songs or go out to the park."

She lit up, "Great idea, Len! We'll go to the park, maybe play a couple games," she said excitedly. She took Len's bowl and put it in the sink with hers, running hot water over them.

"Thank you," he said as he got up and turned on the television quickly, switching it to the weather channel. "I don't think it's chilly outside."

Rin nodded, then noticed she was still in her uniform. "I'm gonna change real quick, just a sec," she said and ran up to her room. When she returned she wore an orange blouse with small white polka dots covered with a light yellow sweater, and denim capris. She straightened her bow and clips, then grabbed her phone and put it in her pocket. "Do you need to get anything before we leave, Lenny?"

"Uhh," he considered getting his phone, then sighed as he moved away from the door and headed for Rin's room saying, "Let me get my phone." He went into her room and grabbed his phone from his charger, and came back. "I'm sorry I don't have a change of clothes, I kinda look like a dork wearing this around. . ."

She looked at him sympathetically. "Len, you're cute to me no matter how you dress," she assured him, then grabbed another orange and handed Len a banana. "Let's head out then."

What she said comforted Len. He graciously accepted the banana and said, "Thank you Rinny, you're so kind." He opened the door and took a few steps ahead.

She followed him, locking the door behind them. Once she caught up, she began to peel her orange and eat it happily. "So what do you want to do at the park?" she asked with her mouth full.

"We can swing on the swings I guess." He began to peel his banana and eat it while walking down the road.

"Yeah, that sounds good. We could also play tag, or hide and seek," she said as she took another bite of orange. "But we may be a little too old for that," she added, laughing nervously. "I just thought it'd be fun."

"Hide and seek sounds like fun," he said, although it seemed strange to him that they'd do it at a park. "Though, I don't think that's really a park thing?" He took another bite out of the banana.

"Well. . . I guess not," Rin sighed. "But I was just thinking maybe we could hide on the playground. . . or in trees. . . but we can just play tag and swing," she said. As they approached the park, she finished her orange and tossed the peel into a nearby trash can. She looked over at Len with a smirk, "Race me to the swing set?"

"Sure!" He began to run toward the swing set while taking a bite out of his banana.

Rin ran quickly after him, but Len was faster, and she ended up running into him, knocking both of them down. Standing up, she began to laugh, "Haha, sorry Lenny!" She brushed some grass off her clothes and sat down on a swing, beginning to swing slowly.

He was lucky to be able to keep his banana from leaving his hand. He did choke on the banana he had in his mouth, though, and coughed a bit before getting up, and making sure his uniform wasn't messed up. "It would be okay if I didn't choke on a banana," Len said, laughing a bit. He finished his banana and threw the peel in a nearby trashcan, then got on the swing set and started swinging.

As Rin was swinging, she noticed their blue-haired friend sitting on a bench across the park. "Kaito!" she shouted. He looked over at them and waved. She tapped Len's shoulder and said, "Hey, look, it's Kaito!"

Len waved at Kaito, and Kaito waved back, but he then put his arms together making a heart shape with his hands. Len's checks got warm, and he said quietly, "Oh my god, Kaito."

Rin blushed and glared at Kaito, mouthing, "Don't." She looked at Len apologetically, "Sorry."

"You didn't do anything wrong." Just then his phone beeped, and he sat at an awkward slant to fish it out of his pants. It was from Kaito, asking when Len and Rin were going to kiss. 'I don't know? why do you care,' Len replied, his face really pink.

"What is it?" Rin asked, quickly giving Kaito another glare when he was giggling to himself.

"Kaito's being weird, have a look." He slowed down on the swing to show her the message.

She saw the message then brought a hand to her mouth, blushing madly, proceeding to glare at Kaito once more. In an attempt at revenge, she shouted, "HEY KAITO, HOW'S IT GOING WITH MIKU? HAVE YOU ASKED HER OUT YET?"

Len began to laugh while Kaito sat there stunned. "He probably hasn't," he told Rin, still dying from laughter.

She smiled in satisfaction and burst out laughing, falling to the ground giggling along with Len. Then she realized their faces were very close and her face turned red.

He noticed how close their faces were, and he got a thought: Maybe I should kiss her now. He tried to let the thought go, but he really couldn't, making his face redder. He didn't want to act on it because she might think he's weird.

Rin had also thought about kissing him right there, but decided not to and ignored the thought. She sat up and began to laugh again. "Haha, sorry Lenny. . . " she said and continued to giggle.

Len looked around, still laughing a bit. Then he saw Kaito coming their way with a silly grin on his face; and he wasn't just coming, he was already there.

"I saaaaaaw you two kiiiiiiiiss!" Kaito said mockingly. Is Kaito literally a ten year old? He's supposed to be older than us, Len thought.

"W-what are you talking about?" Len said.

"When you guys fell on the ground, you kissed right?"

Rin blushed, "N-no we didn't, our faces just got kinda close. . ."

"It's still closer than you've ever gotten to Miku!" Len said, laughing.

Kaito blushed and slowly walked away saying, "W-whatever, I have some ice cream to eat. . ."

Rin sighed in relief, glad that he was finally leaving, "Enjoy yourself, Kaito." As he walked away, she turned to Len and said, "Nice one!" and high-fived him.

He laughed, and then checked the time; 6:50-ish. It didn't feel like it had been so long to Len. "Wow, it's already about seven, Rinny."

"Huh. I guess we should go back and watch Big Hero Six." She got up, dusted herself off, and slowly began walking to the sidewalk toward her house.

Len pushed himself up from the ground and speed walked to Rin until he caught up with her. "Do you think Kaito was acting weird?" He felt like Kaito had been very strange; he didn't normally act like that, whatever it was.

Rin rolled her eyes, "Definitely. I've never really seen him act that way, but it didn't really surprise me, he's always being weird. I can't believe he did that. . ." she muttered, then sighed.

"Oh well," Len also sighed. "That was still fun, anyway." Of course, he was still thinking about kissing Rin, even though he wished he wasn't.

"Yeah, me too." She looked away, blushing; she was also still thinking about their almost-kiss.

Len decided to be a bit daring and held her hand. It wasn't a sudden movement, though; it was a slow and cautious hand hold, since he was still very hesitant about doing this. If she didn't like it he could just say it was an accident.

She looked down at their hands, surprised, but smiled and tightened her grip, her cheeks turning a soft pink. Rin had never held anyone's hand besides her mother's and sister's, and maybe a friend or two when she was younger, but never a boy's before. She didn't know how to feel about it exactly, but she liked having his warm hand in hers.

Len felt Rin holding his hand and relaxed, tightening his grip on hers. He chuckled after some time of walking down the road and said, "You realize we passed your house, right?"

She gasped, hesitantly taking her hand out of Len's while looking around. "How long ago?"

"Not all that long ago, maybe a few minutes ago," he said with a giggle.

Rin relaxed and took his hand again, walking toward her home; she could see it in the distance, which made her feel a little better. Once they got back to the house, she took off her shoes and grabbed a bag of popcorn, putting it in the microwave and pushing the 'popcorn' button. "You can take off your shoes, Lenny."

"Alright," Len said, taking his shoes off and putting them where Rin put hers. He walked to the kitchen area. "Should I put the movie on, or. . . ?" he asked, his voice trailing off.

"Yeah," she said, then pulled out a bowl to put the popcorn in. "Lenny, do you have pajamas? I don't have any clothes you could wear. . . is it okay if you sleep in your clothes, or do you need some from your house?"

He didn't, and he'd be okay with sleeping in what he was wearing, but he still looked like a dork and his uniform wasn't the most comfortable thing. "Yeah, I probably should get some clothes. . ."

"Okay then, go get some, I'll make the popcorn and put the movie in, maybe get my pajamas on," she said and took the popcorn out of the microwave when the timer went off.

Len got his shoes back on and ran outside; luckily his home was close. In his room, he sorted through his clothes and grabbed a pair of banana pajama pants, a yellow v-neck shirt, and a ugly green jacket that was more meant for fashion instead of keeping warm. He switched into them and left, telling his dad he'd see him later. When he came back to Rin's, the movie was already on.

"Hi Lenny! It's ready, sit down here," Rin patted the spot beside her on the couch and offered him some popcorn.

Len sat down next to Rin and took a few pieces of popcorn, eating them all individually. "Thank you Rinny!"

• • •

The movie had just ended and Rin was sobbing onto Len's shoulder. "L-lenny why did Tadashi h-have to die? And then. . . and then B-baymax!"

Len wrapped his arm around Rin's shoulder in a cuddling way with tears streaming down his face; the movie was obviously too much for him. "Why is D-disney so evil? W-why can't they just let Hiro be h-happy? He's j-just a child," he said, sobbing.

Rin leaned into his chest, continuing to cry, "I-I don't know. . ."

Len held her a bit tighter as he still cried. "T-this movie is way too much."

Rin tried her best to stop crying, but she couldn't. She turned off the television and only then did she realize she had been crying in Len's arms; she blushed and laughed through her tears, scooting away slightly, "S-sorry."

"It's really okay," Len said with pink cheeks and red eyes from the crying. "If you want I can still hold you. . . ?"

"O-okay," Rin said gratefully and leaned into him again. A minute later, she had fallen asleep.

Len held her as she leaned into him. He noticed she had fallen asleep, and he didn't mind. He relaxed his head and leaned back into the couch, closed his eyes, and silently said to his sleeping friend, "You're mom's not gonna be happy if she comes back to this." Then he fell asleep.
