Chapter One
He Won't Be Yours
"Len, it's awful!" moaned Rin, splaying herself across the bed we shared. I stared at her with compassion, though, in my heart, all I felt was annoyance. She was so annoying. I didn't want to hear about this. Still, she kept going on and on, every single day.
"I like him so much," she confessed, "but I can't do anything about it. He's my teacher, after all."
I nodded in understanding, though I knew that, if it were me, I wouldn't let the fact that he was a teacher stand in my way. Really, the only thing standing in my way was Rin.
"It's your own fault for falling for Kamui-sensei," I scolded gently, hating to see her so down.
"I know," moaned Rin. "But it's still awful."
Rin had been hung up on Kamui-sensei for as long as I could remember. She never shut up about him. I loved her, so I would listen to the incessant whining and pretend to help her out, but it was all fake. After all, how could I possibly be happy listen to my sister talk about the guy that I, too, had fallen for?
Then again, I knew a secret about him, a secret that told me that he'd never be hers but he might, someday, be mine. But if I told her that, it would make her sad, and she might start to hate me. I loved Rin too much to deal with that. So, instead, I played along like a good brother and listened to her teen angst.
"Imagine what would happen if the school found out," she continued. "They're so snobby and preppy. I'd be kicked out in a second if I ever did something so crazy as to ask him out."
"Well, why don't you?" I asked, seeing an opportunity. Maybe, just maybe, I could make her see she had no chance with Kamui-sensei while still remaining the good guy.
"Why don't I what?" she questioned.
"Ask him out," I supplied.
Rin stared at me in alarm for a second. Then she laughed and tossed a pillow at my head. I caught it and tossed it back to her. Dreamily, she cuddled it against her flat chest. "I would, really, but it's too much to risk."
"So you're just going to mope around about it for the rest of your life?" I questioned.
Rin sighed and flipped onto her back to throw the pillow up in the air and catch it again. "Yep."
"Wuss," I commented, feeling a little guilty about the annoyance that stirred up at her blatant refusal.
"I am," agreed Rin.
I sighed and sat back in my reading chair. "Well, if you want a way to make him like you, try referring to yourself in third person."
Rin laughed. "Third person? Why would I do that?"
"I saw him in the hallway once, and he said that he thought it was cute when some girl started talking to him like that." Well, that was a lie. He did think referring to yourself in third person was cute, but it hadn't bee some random girl who was doing it. It had been me. On a dare from my friend.
"Really?" Rin questioned. "I never that Kamui-sensei would be into that kind of thing."
I wanted to smile. Nope, he most certainly had not been interested in that kind of thing. Instead, I said, "Come on, Rin, just ask him out. I'm sure he'll say yes." Lie, lie, lie. He was going to say no. It wasn't even a question. His answer would be no. Poor Rin.
"Are you sure?" Rin asked uncertainly.
I smiled, completely fake, and continued to lie. "Of course I am."
Rin threw the pillow up into the air a few more times. "Okay, but, if he rejects me, it's on your head. Deal?"
I glued the fake smile on my face as guilt pierced my heart. She was going to be rejected. I knew it. Still, I agreed, "Sure."
. . .
I leaned against the wall around the corner at school the next day, listening intently to the exchange between my sister and the object of my affection. She'd lured him out of the class under the pretense of a request from Luka, her teacher. I had known exactly when she'd come, so I'd excused myself to go to the bathroom a couple minutes ago. I knew everything about my sister. She was incredibly predictable and always played it safe. She had study hall this period, so the teacher wouldn't give her as much grief if she was out too long. On top of that, Rin would never want to miss out on a lesson. She was struggling hard enough to keep passing. She wouldn't be able to keep up if she missed a lesson at the pace these classes went.
"So what does Luka need?" Kamui-sensei asked.
"Um, actually, Megurine-sensei doesn't need anything."
I smiled, imagining the confused look on Kamui-sensei's face right now as my adorable sister's face burned bright red. I had to admit, I was astounded that she'd managed to be brave enough to even come this far. She'd give up soon, though. And, even if she didn't, he would turn her down. All I had to do was wait here and listen.
"Then why did you interrupt my class, Kagamine? We don't have time to waste. The curriculum has many requirements that need to be fulfilled."
I frowned a bit at hearing him call her Kagamine. I didn't want him to call her what he called me. I mean, sure, we were twins, but I should have been the only one he called Kagamine. It was just rude of him, otherwise.
"I know, but I really needed to talk to you."
Kamui-sensei sighed. I imagined him running his hand along the back of his neck as he thought about what she might want. "So what is it, Kagamine?"
"Um," stuttered Rin. "I, um . . . ."
I let out an irritated sigh and rolled my eyes. She was seriously going to wuss out? But if she asked him out, she'd finally see that she had no chance with him and leave him to me. I couldn't manage to bring myself to chase after him while Rin was still hung up on him. She was my sister, after all. It just wasn't right.
"Kagamine, I really have to get back to class," said Kamui-sensei.
"Wait, Kamui-sensei!" He must have tried to leave. I figured that Rin must have grabbed onto him to stop him from going. Now, I listened to her confess, "I really like you, Kamui-sensei. Will you go out with me?"
Everything was quiet as I waited for the rejection. I wondered how he would do it. Would he be nice about it, or would he rat her out and get her expelled for going after a teacher? After all, in a school like this, it was easy for your life to be ruined if a teacher wanted it to. But my Kamui-sensei was much to kind for that. I knew he'd be nice. That was one of the things I loved about him.
"I'm sorry, Kagamine," came Kamui-sensei's voice. I smiled. Here it came. "I can't go out with you."
"Because I'm a student?" questioned Rin. "Because we could keep it a secret. I swear I wouldn't tell anyone."
"Not just that."
"Then what else?"
Kamui-sensei went quiet for a minute, and I felt horrible for being so pleased, because I knew Kamui-sensei's next words would kill Rin. "Because, well, you're a girl."
Now it was Rin's turn to go silent. Then, she said slowly, "So, you're . . . a girl?"
"Um, no. I just, well, I likes guys."
Rin was quiet. Then, she laughed weakly. "Oh. I get it. You're gay. In retrospect, I should have known when I saw your hair."
I smiled at that, and I could hear the frown in Kamui-sensei's voice. "No, this is just the way my hair is, Kagamine."
"Whatever," said Rin. "So you won't go out with me just because I'm a girl?"
"Well, Rin, you're also a student."
"Shut up," snapped Rin. I was a little startled. I'd never heard her so violent before. "What if a boy were to ask you? What if my brother were to ask you? Would you still say no?"
"Well of course!" huffed Kamui-sensei. I smiled. Liar. "They'd still be students. I'm gay, not a pedofile."
"Liar!" spat Rin. "You won't even considering going out with me because I'm a girl! I didn't ask to be born as a girl, you know!"
"And I didn't ask to be born gay," Kamui-sensei replied calmly. "It's just the way things are, Kagamine."
"So you're admitting that you won't go out with me because I'm a girl?" she attacked.
Kamui-sensei was growing tired of the conversation. "Fine, Kagamine, if that's what will help you get over this, I won't date you because you're a girl."
"You're an idiot!" shouted Rin. "Any guy would be lucky to have me, and you won't even give me a chance!"
Uh oh. Rin was going to get in trouble soon if she didn't quiet down. The least I could do after pushing her into this situation was help her avoid getting into more trouble. I pushed myself off the wall and walked over to my sister, whose entire body was tense from shouting and her face and eyes blazed with anger. I placed my hand on hers to get her attention. She turned her furious gaze on me as I murmured soothingly, "Let's go home, Rin."
Rin stared at me for a moment, calculating my motives suspiciously, before nodding. I turned her toward the front office and pushed her a little so she'd start walking. Then, I cast Kamui-sensei a smile and followed my sister down the hallways.
Poor Rin. I'd known all along. Kamui-sensei had told us he was gay. I was surprised she hadn't heard already. Still, now she knew that she had no chance with him, so she'd give up. Now it was my turn. I'd make Kamui-sensei mine, no matter what means were necessary.
Author's Note: Happy October! Welcome to my yandere fic! This fic is going to be five or six chapters long, alternating between Gakupo's and Len's views. This is approximately the length each chapter will be, depending on whether or not I get overexcited. I'm not used to write yaoi considering I'm more of a yuri fan girl, but, well, I had the idea for this story and wanted to write it. Well, hope you liked it! Please review!
