Chapter 2: Honey Coloured Eyes
"Reiiii! Come back to Earth!"
"Wh-what?"
"Ah geez, Rei. What's wrong with you lately?"
Rei blinks for a few times, realizing that he has been daydreaming a lot.
"S-sorry, Rin… There's something wrong with me of late…"
"You don't say."
Rin crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. And of course, pouts.
"Aww, Rinny is being pouty~"
Rin blushed with the sudden nickname but nonetheless she turned to her side trying to avoid him. Rei chuckled with her response. Rin continued to blush more till her ears. Rei's chuckle was a bit too much for her to handle.
"Rei~!"
Apparently, their fluffy moments was crushed by none other than Hatsune Miku. Rei groans with the teal-haired girl's appearance. He was having fun teasing Rin. Rin on the other hand, was half happy and half disappointed. She stopped pouting and continued to eat her lunch. Rei got up from his seat and starts to pack his bento.
When Miku reached Rei, she was trying to catch her breath. Charming. Well, must be something related to the teachers or something.
"Can I come over to your house tonight?"
Or maybe not.
"Why?"
Rei got all his things packed and looked at Miku, slightly frowning.
"Well, Mikuo said that he's going to crash at his friend's place and I don't want to cook dinner and I wanted to have a small slumber party with Rui and IA since tomorrow is the weekend"
Miku inhaled as soon as she finished her sentence and then smiled. Sigh. Again Mikuo? Seriously? And now she wants to have her little girly party with Rui and IA-
Wait. Who?
"IA?"
"Oh sorry~" Miku hits her head and sticks her tongue out "I meant, Aria. IA is her middle name."
"I see… Fine. Go ahead and stay over. I don't mind. Just don't make too much noise."
"Yay~!"
Miku runs off skipping happily. Rei couldn't help but smile with her cheerfulness.
"So, who's IA?"
Rei's expression drops. He looks behind him and sees Rin holding her lunch box while tilting her head.
"Oh, a new transfer student. She came a few days ago"
"I see."
"Well, see you later. I have to go back to class"
"Okay. Bye~"
So you think Rin is going to just ask like that? Oh, no she's not. She'll be a little mischievous spy.
'Time to go for an adventure~' thought Rin as she was on her way to the High School Division. She pretty much knows almost every corner of that division plus she will be attending there soon anyway.
When she walked around the hallway, she spotted someone that she doesn't recognise. Rin stopped in her track and wanted to have a closer look of this person. A girl with light pink hair was talking to Miku and Rui. So Rin thought maybe that's the girl Rei and Miku mentioned. 'Maybe that's her' She thought but then the school bell rang, interrupting her mind. Rin turned around walked back to her division but glanced at the girl called IA once.
~Time skip brought to you by Rin's oranges~
It was now the end of school, Rei was heading out to the gates, yawning. He noticed Rui waving at him enthusiastically. Rei lifted a brow and walked up to her.
"Why do you look so excited?"
Rui giggled and clings onto his arm. Rei just furrowed his brows from the sudden contact but let her be.
"I'm just excited about tonight"
Rui replied, looking up at her brother, smiling. Rei just looked at her as if she has eaten too many sugar. Which is always.
After awhile of walking home from school, Rei had told Rui that he has something to buy in the bookstore. He had received a message from a friend of his, Megurine Luka. She was a librarian from a Public Library he always goes to. Luka had noticed that Rei always comes to the library unlike other kids in his age. So she got interested in him and talked to him. Now they exchange messages and mails to each other. Mostly about books of course.
Rei enters the bookstore with a small 'ding' as the door hit the small bell attached to the top corner of the door. As usual, the shop looked pretty dead. Rei was also greeted by a welcome from the cashier. He only replied with a curt nod. The cashier had asked him if Rei wanted the new book that recently came. He only replied with a simple "Yes". The cashier, as if on tune, took out a book from under the counter and put it in a small recycled bag.
"Here you go"
Rei blinked at the cashier. I guess this is what happens when you're the only regular in a bookstore. Rei thanked the cashier and paid for the book. Once he had done, paying and having a small conversation with the cashier, he left with a content sigh. He took out his phone and messaged the pink haired librarian with a "Thank you" for the information about the book. Now he has something to occupy his time when he has nothing to do.
In Rei's house apparently, is chaotic. Miku and Aria had arrived at the Kagene's home after Rui had came home about an hour before. Rui had told them that her brother hasn't come home yet and she's about to cook dinner. Both of them volunteered to help, but in the end, it was quite a mess in the kitchen. At least they made dinner perfectly.
"Brother is going to kill me if I don't clean the kitchen"
Rui claimed when she saw the state the kitchen was in. A cold sweat dripped down from her face.
Miku snorted and said;
"I can somehow imagine that"
Miku and Rui laughed as they imagined what Rei might do. Aria on the other hand, didn't quite understand what was going on. As they cleaned the kitchen, both Miku and Rui explained what Rei was like. Aria could only imagine how this person was like. She couldn't wait to see him in person. He sounded very interesting from their explanation.
Rei was at the front door, hand about to turn the doorknob. He heard laughter from the inside of the house but wasn't sure whose. He felt a chill down his spine. Rei gulped as he turned the doorknob and pushed the door. He saw three different shoes on the welcome mat. He recognised two from the three. Then, he remembered that there will be three girls in this house. Rei sighs in exasperation.
The three girls didn't hear the door open. They were too busy doing the drinks and setting it on the dinner table to notice. It was only when Rei had entered the living room that they noticed. Both Miku and Rui sputtered but Aria on the other hand was staring at him.
The same feeling flooded her mind like when the first time she saw those deep golden eyes. They were like piercing through her very soul. Hair as dark as night. Skin so pale, close to white. His stare was so cold but yet so warm. There was a tint of affection in them but it was so lost in those golden eyes. Lost in a cold icy night. Like the cold days of winter. Honey coloured eyes meet sea blue gems. Those feelings she felt early that day, welled up inside her. Her body once again started to shook, her throat going dry. The world felt like it came to a stop. His dark night hair was somehow so perfect on him. It complimented his features so much. He was—
"Right, IA?"
Her mind was then interrupted by the words of a certain teal- haired teenager. Aria blinked for awhile then looked at her. She was so caught up with her mind that she didn't realised Rui and Miku had clung to both of the boy's arm. She just gave her a sheepish smile and a small nod. A faint blush had crept to her cheeks when she realised that she was staring at the boy for some time. She lowers her head in attempt to hide her embarrassment.
"Well anyway, IA this is my brother, Rei"
Rui said gesturing her hand at his form. Rei just rolled his eyes and said,
"What's for dinner? I'm having a freaking war with my stomach right now"
Miku snickered from his statement and pulled him to the dining table
"Tada! Me, Rui and IA cooked this. Doesn't it look nice?"
Miku smiled as she gestured to the wonderful looking food on the table.
"I bet you poisoned it"
Rei said nonchalantly, sitting on a chair that he always sits. Miku as always, acted like a drama queen. She falls to the floor with a somehow magically appeared tissue in her hand as she wiped a fake tear.
"Rei, why would you think I would poison you!?"
Miku said dramatically, earning a chuckle from said man. He just shrugged and grabbed a pair of chopsticks.
"Thank you for the food"
Then, he proceeded to eat the food in front of him. Miku got up and pouted. She sits down at the opposite seat, in front of Rei. Aria only laughed with the new situation she just experienced then she joined the others with Rui who laughed along as well.
One of them would strike a random topic and would talk. And of course, Rei would just be sarcastic most of the time. But Aria on the other hand, was mainly focusing on those honey-coloured eyes. Those deep golden eyes.
"Why do I feel so attracted to him?"
