Oooh no, I've started a new chapter fic ;A; I'm hoping this will be enjoyable, though, because I know I'm going to enjoy writing it! I have some pretty good ideas, and I know I say this alot, but I have a good feeling with this one! I'm really hoping i'm not pushing my luck here saying that tho. I kinda feel like Rin admitting her sexual preferance is a little too soon but? It's not like she's already in love with Miku, she doesn't know who she is yet! that will come soon tho... but in the mean time... enjoy and review!
Rin felt quesy, as she sat at the lunch table with her two friends, Iroha and Piko. There had been a secret she had been hiding from them for a while now, and she wasn't sure if she should be ashamed about it or not. Never the less, it was a secret, and the blond was never good at keeping things to herself anyways. She was too honest, but she had a big mouth at the same time. She was surprised that her friends hadn't called her out on it already—she was quite nervous and when she was, she was usually really quiet. Iroha especially was good at picking up the blonde's emotions, and could tell if something was bothing Rin.
She hadn't said anything yet, and yet Rin had been feeling this way for a while now.
Only lately had this feeling began to bother Rin, but she wasn't too sure why.
She couldn't take it any more though! It was eating her insides out, and she just had to tell somebody. The blonde let out a sigh, as she fumbled with the hem of her uniform skirt. "Guys..." She mumbled.
Iroha perked up, glancing over at her friend. "What's wrong, Rin? You've hardly touched your food."
Rin's stomache growled in reply, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Piko raised an eyebrow. "Are you okay?"
Rin looked back up, a string of blush crossed her cheeks, as she glanced back and forth between the two. "I... have something to tell you guys." She admitted with a faint smile.
Iroha's eyes glowed, as she reached over to grab Rin's hands, looking her in the eye. "You have a boyfriend?! Who is he? What's his name?! Oh, Rin... why didn't you tell me sooner?" She fangirled in a high pitched voice. Rin could practically see the hearts in her eyes. Piko laughed nervously, patting Iroha's pack as he mumbled, "Calm down, Iroha..." She sat back down, seeming disappointed by his lack of excitement for Rin.
Rin could feel the sweat pouring, already feeling pressured. At this point, she was sure Iroha, atleast, would feel disappointed to the learn the truth. Seriously, that girl was always trying to find her a nice guy. But that wasn't what she wanted! She wasn't really looking for a relationship, least of all, not with a boy... "Well, that's not exactly the case..." She mumbled, rubbing the back of her neck nervously. Her head was spinning, and the knots in her stomache only seemed to tighten.
"What is it, then?" Piko pushed on, trying to keep the girl beside him calm, as she clasped her hands together, her lips curving upwards into a playfull smile.
"I'm, well..." Rin swallowed. She then let out a deep sigh, averting her eyes. "I think I'm gay."
The two paused. She shut her eyes, immediately regretting telling them. "That's all...?" Piko asked quietly.
Rin looked back up at him, her cheeks felt like they were on fire. "Y-yeah...?"She squeaked in a small voice, and looked over to Iroha, who looked confused at first, but a sympathetic, supportive smile came to her lips.
"Oh, honey," She cooed, gently clasping her hands around Rin's for support. "You should have told us sooner!"
Rin blinked. "Y-you guys aren't ashamed to be my friend now...?" She wondered.
Piko and Iroha blinked in confusion. "Why would we?" They said in unison, and looked at eachother with shock, before laughing.
Rin looked down again. "Well, i just thought, you know, maybe it's kinda weird...?"
Iroha shook her head. "Whatever makes you happy. You shouldn't have to feel weird about it."
Piko nodded, with a chuckle. His grin was confident as he spoke, "Yeah. Now we have more in common! We can talk about girls together." Iroha glared at him, before gently smacking his arm, rolling her eyes. She was wearing a smile though. "Boys, huh?" She mouthed, and Rin couldn't help the laughter.
"Well, well, well, what are we laughing about?"
The trio looked up, to find a blue haired male with a confident smirk on his lips. He identified as Kaito, he was one of the most popular guys in the school. Rin smiled lightly, she had always sort of admired him. He was in her third period art class, and was always the class clown. She had always thought he was kinda funny and cool—but she'd never have expected him to be taking to her. She wasn't as popular as he was, but she had noticed that he did talk to almost anyone, even if he was kind of poking fun at those who were less popular than he was.
In either case, Rin felt kind of blessed, in a way, that he'd want to talk to her.
"Nothing," Piko shot him down quickly. Unlike Rin, she supposed Piko wasn't a huge fan of him. She was no idea why though, he seemed nice enough.
He put on a sad face, although it was clear he was being sarcastic. "Aw, someone doesn't want me to be here. Boo," He whined, pretending to wipe away the tears. Rin covered her mouth, trying to hold in the laughter. Kaito glanced back to Rin. "Mind if I take a seat?"
"N-not at all!" Rin spluttered, and moved over for him, patting the seat next to her. He grinned, quickly filling in the seat, folding his hands together. "So... you never told me what was so funny!" He brought the subject back up, and for a moment, Rin wavered over whether or not she should tell him. She noticed the glare that Piko was sending her, his eyes warning her not too. She then glanced back to Kaito, who had that kind, yet playfull look on his face. She looked back across, taking note that Iroha had gone quiet, too.
"Well... it was just a funny joke. Actually, no, it wasn't all that funny." Rin laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her neck.
Kaito tilted his head. "I'm sure it was funny, anything is funny to me! C'mon, tell meee." He begged.
Rin sighed in deeply.
"Well... I guess it wouldn't hurt," She mumbled to himself, before looking him straight in the eyes. "I... I think, well, I might be gay." If Piko and Iroha had accepted it, she was sure Kaito would too. He seemed nice enough, anyways.
But looks could be deceiving.
He froze, his pupils narrowing. He craned his neck in closer. "Huh?" He asked for clarification, and Rin swallowed, quickly knowing she made a mistake.
"N-nothing! Nevermind, see, I told you it isn't that funny," She laughed nervously, her eyes looking every where but where he was.
"I think you should go now." Piko spoke inbetween clenched teeth. Kaito looked over to him, his mouth forming a straight line. He then looked back to Rin, and as the girl looked him in the eyes, she noticed just how outraged he looked. She shouldn't have told him! She wished she could run away at this point, but she felt frozen in fear.
"You're...?" He spoke softly, but calmly. Almost too calmly.
Rin couldn't move. Her head was lowered, and she didn't dare look him in the eyes.
"...Gay?" Kaito said harshly. Rin swallowed nervously, and that seemed to be all the notification that he needed. He quickly rose to his feet, glaring down at her, before shouting, "You disgusting human being! Gross! Ugh!" He yelled, earning the attention from others around the cafe. Rin felt the tears well up in her eyes.
"Stop it!" Piko yelled, getting up from his seat, to push Kaito away. But Kaito was stronger than he was, so he shoved him right back, Piko tumbled to the floor. "Don't touch me!" Kaito cursed, his eyebrows furrowing. "I bet this pervert is trying to convert you to like guys now, too!" He hissed, and then looked up to Iroha, who was trying to comfort Rin. "And I bet you're her lesbian lover!" He accused. Piko had gotten up to his feet, and dashed right at him with a hiss, "Don't you dare talk about those girls like that!"
"Whatever," Kaito huffed, as he pressed a hand to Piko's forehead, stopping any attacks the boy could manage to throw at him. He glanced back towards Rin, hate in his eyes. "You're scum." He said simply, before shoving Piko back down, and exited the cafe. Piko shook his head, as he took a seat with his friends agin.
People were still staring, though. "Mind your own business!" Piko yelled to the crowd, earning some sniggers. But everyone seemed to go back to their business, ignoring the trio. Rin was trying to hold her cries in, but the tears kept flooding down her cheeks. "I knew I shouldn't have said anything." She said inbetween sobs, as Iroha had gotten up and was sitting beside her now, rubbing her back supportively.
"No, you shouldn't have," Iroha said quietly.
Rin looked down, trying to wipe the tears away. She knew iroha was right, but she was sure that Kaito was kind! But that hate in his eyes definitely said otherwise. "But now you know not to trust him." Iroha said with a sigh.
Piko was silent on his end. It was painful to watch his friend cry. "He just seemed so nice, though..." Rin mumbled, feeling the tears come to a stop. Her throat still ached though, and she felt like she was going to give out any second now, and begin crying again.
"Looks can be deceiving..." Piko sighed. Rin smiled grimly. "I know that now.."
Iroha smiled. "Don't worry about him, Rin. We're here for you anyways, we don't think you're disgusting." Piko nodded in agreement.
Rin looked back up to Iroha. "You mean it?"
Piko and Iroha both nodded, and in unison they said, "Yeah!" Rin smiled at this, as she rested her head against Iroha's shoulder. The other girl brushed a strand of hair out of Rin's eyes. "It's going to be okay, Rin. We'll be here for you." Iroha cooed.
"That's what friends are for."
