The full moon sent out a cold breath of light that deceived me, seeming to illuminate, but tricking my eyes with out sized shapes that blended with the emotionless shadows dancing along the walls.
The dimly lit alley way with old shops and tattered signs, peeling paint and the scent of rotting wood wasn't getting to me. It was late at night, yet the streets were as busy as always and full of life. My bleached black hair was as unruly as usual, but what was unusual, was how fast my heart pounded to this girl.
My breathing was shallow, as I waited anxiously for her condition. She smiled and closed her eyes, thinking. I was praying that it was something I could do, what if she made me kill someone? Steal something? Something very dangerous? Torture me? Blackmail me?
My mind was leaking out all the possibilities that could happen, I wondered if she could hear my heart pounding. A few seconds later, her finger touched my lip. Tracing around it slowly and gently, her ocean blue eyes were fixed onto mine, staring deeply. Her other hand was placed against my leg, this way she could push herself up and keep her balance.
Slowly pushing me against the alley walls, she breathed in my scent. Her lips still had plenty of moisture, the way her eyes stared at me and the way her body edged closer, I could feel my hormones acting up.
I was sitting there, dumbstruck, breathing heavily and letting Rin dominate me. She knew my secret. I couldn't upset her. If she wanted this, I'll go along with it. So long as she keeps her mouth taped after.
What a bad liar I am. I was getting turned on. Before she had done anything my mind has already began fantisizing and creating dirty thoughts, cursing silently I felt electric like currents run through my body when her lips touched mine. She once more reminded me of how soft they were, it was supposed to be a normal kiss until her tongue slid into my mouth again. My stomach was backflipping, my cheeks were flushed a bright crimson. It was supposed to be me making the girls blush- not the other way around.
Both her hands caressed my unruly black hair, she ran her fingers wildly through them, pressing my head against the wall completely. Her tongue invaded me, saliva was dripping from our long kiss. I could hardly breathe. But it didn't stop there.
We kept attacking eachother's mouthes, throughout the long kiss her chest soon pressed to mine. They grinded together, again her smooth, fragile skin was against my rough one. This was the difference between male and female. It felt so different being kissed by her.
This White Swan I wanted to catch, has caught me. And her feathers aren't pure white, they're stained a darker black than I could've imagined.
About to completely lose it, she slowly pulled back from our kiss. Ending it.
I was staring at her, she stared right back. I was guessing my cheeks were bright red, so was hers- but she still had a playful smirk on her face as she kissed me gently on the forehead before slowly staggering up. Picking up the gem I had stolen, "Black Star." She dropped it into her shirt. I watched with reddened cheeks. Regaining my senses I staggered up after her.
"What is the condition?" I hiss, trying to regain my gruff look but failing miserably. I immediately lost it when she giggled, I was blushing, madly.
"Do experiments with me." Her voice was teasing and playful, "Otherwise, I'll reveal your secret."
"B-But why do you need to take the Black Star?" I stammered. Perfect.
She just placed a finger on her lip, "Just in case you betray me."
"But that's not fair-"
Within a heart beat, she was under my nose.
"That was what the kiss was for, dummy."

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
I want to wake up the next morning and hope all this was just a terrible nightmare. Sadly. No. If I had a refresh button in my life, I would be constantly pressing it. The sound of my alarm going off I could hear, my black cape and mask were tossed aside carelessly. So were my school uniform, last night I was just too bothered to think.
I yawned. Rubbing my eyes a few times, the first thought I instantly got was the kiss last night. It played over three hundred times on my way home, it would play over again today. My eyes darted to the alarm, the digital numerals displayed: 6:00AM
My phone was flickering, new message. Groaning I reached out my arm, not long enough. At times like these, I wished I had long arms like Kaito. Edging towards the desk just a little, I got hold of it and slumped back down onto the bed. Dragging my arm across the desk and flopping it beside my pillow.
The bright light hurt my eyes as I squinted to read it:
Y.O.U. H.A.V.E. 3 N.E.W. M.E.S.S.A.G.E.S
Grumbling I tapped: "L.I.S.T"
From: Icecream-Addict-Kaito-
Did you manage to find who wrote the lyrics? I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at the usual meeting place. Don't be late!
From: Gakupo-Womaniser
I heard we're getting a new lyrics writer? Anyway, I feel for you really. Kaito will really fling icecream at you if you don't find her.
From: Icecream-Addict-Kaito-Senpai-
Why aren't you up yet? I've brought loads of buckets of icecream for us to share. If you don't come, Gakupo will have to eat all of it.
A small smile appeared on my tired face, maybe I shouldn't go to school and let Gakupo suffer for what I had to go through yesterday. Resting my head on the pillow again, I closed my eyes, wanting to fall into a peaceful slumber, her face appeared in my mind again. It wasn't just any picture or slideshow presentation, it was her crying.
Tears just kept flowing from her closed eyes as she sniffled and hiccuped.
Grumbling I cleared my mind again. Think about nothing.
If I think about nothing I am thinking aren't I? How did She-
Having a silent fight with myself I flung my pillow across the room, luckily it had just missed the bin by a little (I love my pillow afterall.). Staring at the digital clock I whined again. Thanks to Rin, I'm going crazy. Silent spazz-attacks with myself. Not really a good idea when I kept rolling off the bed last night.
At first. I attacked her. Then, she kissed me back. She promised to keep the secret in one condition. I do experiments with her. Yet, she took the Black Star to make sure I don't betray her and swear my loyalty. The last kiss was just in exchange for the gem.
Kagamine Rin.
You demon.
Black Swan dressed in White.
Tricking me! (Yet I was the one who fell for it.)
No one destroys the dignity of Kagamine Len. No one.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I was inspecting my sandy blonde hair for any remaining streaks of unwashed black bleach, which there was none- thankfully, otherwise I would have to go through a terrible process of washing and drying. Flicking cold water onto my face I let out a long satisfied sigh. I stared blankly at myself in the mirror.
"I am Kagamine Len. Kagamine Len."
A nice boy who laughs and smiles. A nice boy who laughs and smiles. I am friends with Kaito and Gakupo. I am on good terms with Miku, Luka and Meiko. I am the school idol. I am perfect.
Those were the words I repeated to myself everyday before going to school, to remind myself who I'm seen as. Despite how stupid it looked, I have been doing that for the past few years of my life. Putting on my shoes I shook my head, clearing all my dirty thoughts from before and slided the door open. I sprinted to our usual meeting place- which was by the school gates. I passed the usual scenery, my speedy sprint slowed to a jog once I neared the school. By the gates I could already see my friends.
Kaito looked refreshed and ready to go, his blue hair today was carefully brushed. His uniform was as tidy and as well ironed as all days. Gakupo, looked like he recovered but seemed very tense around Kaito. His uniform had a few creases that were hard to notice with his hair tied into a stylish ponytail. Me on the otherhand, I was my usual, bedhead self.
"Did you succeed?" Kaito asked me with a kind (fake) smile on his face, he was carrying two white plastic buckets. By the way Gakupo eyed me, I knew what was in there. Icecream. It was going to be my punishment if I didn't recruit Rin.
"Yeah. I did." I quickly responded to his question with a bright smile on my face, "She agreed without struggle." She struggled a lot acutally. She was also crying out your name senpai.
"Good." Kaito's smile grew wider. Not good actually.
"Kaito-senpai...What's in the bucket?" I dare to ask, his eyes lit up as he just shook his head.
"Icecream."
"Right." I forced on a fake smile, my eyebrows were noticeably twitching. I'm not much of a sweet-tooth, not when it comes to icecream anyway. Neither was Gakupo, only Kaito. He was grinning widely,
"Don't worry. There are six more buckets in our club room."
"Since when did we get a mini-referigerator?" Gakupo muttered under his breath, face-palming himself.
"Oh don't worry." Kaito laughed, as his facial expression darkened. "I had to...Explain and..." he cracked his knuckles, "a bit to the principal." He said grimly but lightened up, "he understood eventually. It was very easy."
I wonder what type of explaining you did.
Maybe with your fists.
Gakupo just laughed along shakily. Kaito was already leading the way to the clubroom,
"Thanks for coming today." Gakupo murmured through gritted teeth. He had some bandages around his neck, other than that, he looked like he was fine. No broken bones or anything.
"Oh trust me, I wouldn't have came if I could've." I mutter, "If I was cruel enough to leave you behind to eat all the buckets that was."
Gakupo shrugged coolly as he sped up his walking pace to match mine,
"He bought a whole heap of flavors too. My teeth are going to hurt after this.." He was shivering, as if he had just finished a whole bucket of icecream himself.
"I feel sorry for my stomach."
"Me too." I agreed quietly.
"How did he convince the prin-"
By the way Gakupo laughed and the way his voice shook. I figured it would be best to keep that to Kaito and Gakupo, I couldn't stand the shock. Maybe Kaito brought some Rifle and was going to shoot the principal with it.
He could be someone like that. Kaito.
Boy. Fake masks are scary.

"Morning Len," Miku smiled shyly at me when we entered the clubroom, it looked MUCH more tidier. The desks and old shelves had been cleaned off, all the junk (of Gakupo's) had been thrown out.
"Morning." I yawned but smiled back at her. Meiko and Luka were sitting comfortably on our black leather couch, reading some magazines. Gakupo kept sneaking glances at Luka, which made a sly smirk appear on my face as I scooted over to him.
"Did you hear? Luka likes this guy in senior grade." I poked him, at first I was breaking into a laughing fit when I saw the look he had on his face. Like a little Kaito who dropped his first and last scoop of icecream.
"R-Really?" He was choking and he looked like he was going to break into tears any moment. "She...She...She..." He was tearing his lip, "She..."
"I'm kidding."
Bad move. He had picked me up by the collar and pushed me against the door, raging and spitting like a furious cat. I was just laughing my head off- Miku was giggling while Luka let out some small smiles. Meiko- just ignored the commotion.
"I have an announcement to make!" Kaito was talking above the noise. After a few more minutes of laughing until our stomachs felt like they were going to explode, we kept very quiet- letting Kaito make his announcement in peace.
"We have a new lyrics writer."
I could hear objections and mutters from the girls, we- the boys had already agreed to it. (more like only Kaito himself.) Meiko just shrugged,
"If this person can write, let'em write."
Miku looked a bit hurt as she squeaked,
"Are my lyrics bad?"
Luka was comforting Miku- who was about to burst to tears, while Kaito explained to everyone:
"This person we found can write the most beautiful lyrics. We can have more time to think of choreography and master singing it."
Luka frowned a little, "I guess that could really help."
Meiko nodded in agreement. "Our songs recently look really badly done."
Kaito smiled, clapping his hands he spoke. "Then it's agreed! Our new lyrics writer will be introduced by Len."
Me?
Scrambling up beside Kaito, I took in a breath and cleared my throat.
"Our new Lyrics writer is a girl, she is called Kagamine Rin."
"Never heard of her." Meiko called out but was silenced by the stern glare of Kaito.
"She says she is willing to write lyrics for us."
Indeed she is. But I feel sorry for my poor self.

The day passed in a flash, mostly because I was worrying about what Rin meant by "experiments.". She could've said it to be more clear, just saying "Experiments" had already left my mind in turmoil. By the time I realized, it was already the end of school. Club activities were on- and my mission was to go scout out Rin.
I had ran around the school like a maniac and found her by the school gates. She just looked at me with a smile on her face,
"Come on." I growl, "I'm going to introduce you to the club members."
"No need to be so uptight." She smiled, a total carefree smile.
After she had shaken everyone's hand, introduced herself more than once, we were finally ready to start. The surprised look on all of our face's when she pulled out sheets of paper.
"I had finished writing the lyrics- its the continuation of what was written on the table."
Kaito was reading the lyrics with a big grin on his face.
"I'm glad to see you finished so quickly," He smiled, "I have already thought of the tune too. This way we can start practicing today."
Since this song was a "Duet", I got paired up with Miku, Luka with Gakupo and Kaito with Meiko.
I kept hitting the wrong notes and destroying the timing during the duet- because of that, Kaito has requested me to stay afterwards and practice by myself. Miku had some extra classes to attend so she left too. Which left me with Rin.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"You know I can't concentrate with you staring at me like that right?" I scowl, "You didn't have to keep your eyes on me all the time. It's awkward."
Rin just shrugged and looked at me thoughtfully. Without another word, she hugged her knees and watched me with a small smile on her face. Rolling my eyes, I decided to start practicing before it got too dark. I hate staying in for anything, better get this done and go home and sleep. Or play some video games. Just not sitting her awkwardly.
My fingers danced on the piano's ivory keys, my feet pressed down on the golden levers. I'm lost in the music. I need to put myself in the song, imagine this happening. I had begun playing the first verse, the verse where Miku was supposed to sing. That's when she interrupted.
"A feeble fire is lit at the edge of my heart;
without my knowing, it spreads into burning passion.
My butterfly flapped about aimlessly,
leaving behind some powder on your hand."
I was startled but my fingers didn't stop on the keys, I was charmed by her. She took a seat on the piano beside me, her voice was delicate, unique, I couldn't describe it with my lack of good words. They were simply 'Beautiful'. I had fallen into her trap.
"Pulling apart our intertwined fingers,
moving from our lips to our tongues,
what we're doing do might be unforgivable,
and that's precisely why we're so fired up"
My voice sounded different, not my usual 'playboy' voice, for this song was written for people who can't be together. She had named it Magnet. I had leaned in closer to her- but she didn't back away, instead, she smiled cheekily. With my free hand, I brushed the strands of hair away from her face.
"I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit.
Please make me believe that this is not a sin.
I want you to kiss me and repaint my body.
I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm"
Her fingers ran along my cheek, as she looked into my eyes. Those ocean blue eyes were clouded with pain, worry and a dark past. I wonder if it was her acting skills? Or if those were true eyes. I was lost. Completely.
The music continued.
"It might be necessary for you to tied me up;
if you love me, then show me some fidelity.
I can't help but like "weird" things,
so let's just go as far as we can go"
This time we were very close, even if this was just an act for a MV, I wanted to stay like this a little longer. For another few minutes until this song will end. Her breath was on my face, it was sweet and calming,
"With a heart that has gone astray,
we will melt so easily,
that there's no free time for us
even to feel each other's tenderness"
Our voices harmonized, I could've never had heard such a beautiful voice in my life. Her lips were close to mine, in an alluring manner but she slowly pushed me away, "even to feel eachother's tenderness".
This really was just to remind me of what the song was about, even so, if this was just part of the act, I was falling for it.
"What has been repeating is not our dream,
but the unmistakably realistic "we."
I know as soon as we touch, we can't turn back,
but that's fine, for you're my one and only love"
Her hand was on my chest while the other ran along my neck, my eyes were different. I knew it. I was looking at her longingly, my voice sounded pained and the way my body acted to her lead, was like instinct.
"As dawn breaks, I become uneasy,
and end up crying in tears.
You whispered "It's okay" to me,
but were you also crying?"
We were close now. One stray movement could bring us together again. Like the many times that happened the night before.
"I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit.
Please make me believe that this is not a sin.
I want you to kiss me and repaint my body.
I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm."
The chorus once more, this song was going to end. Both her hands were on my cheeks, pulling me closer to her so that our noses touched.
"Draw me closer, as if we are two magnets,
that even if we separate, we will reunite again.
Let's become one; it's okay not to able to turn back.
That's fine, for you're my one and only love."
The song ended. As my fingers played the last verse on the piano, our eyes were looking directly at eachother. My heart raced. For a second I was hoping that she'll steal another kiss from me, but she didn't.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"Hey." She murmured, touching my nose with her index finger. Almost like the way an older sister does to a younger brother. "You remember our promise right? My condition."
I didn't really want her to bring it up now, especially when I sung a song I really meant- for once. I nodded and turned around, pulling the cover over the dusty black piano.
"I want to do an experiment with you."
I rose a brow, "Since my secret's at sake, I'll do it."
She beamed, knowing he had won this little fight. I just let out a quiet sigh and frowned a little. Waiting for her experiment.
"Hold hands with me."
What? Hold hands?
"Is that it?" I couldn't hide how amused I sounded as I smiled a little, "Hold hands?" It sounded like a request a elementary school girl would make but I didn't deny or laugh at how stupid it sounded.
Grimacing, she reached out her hand. "I'm the one making orders not you." Her grim face returned to her usual one- which was refreshing to see.
"Yes yes, M'lady." My voice was full of sarcasm which caused her to giggle a little, her smile was always happy and radiant- so I took hold of her hand.
"There."
She shook her head and intertwined our fingers, I was looking at her weirdly. Though I have held hands with many girls, her small yet warm hands were different. They were soft and delicate, fragile, one single fast or sudden movement could shatter this tranquility we share now.
She was rubbing her index finger along the top of my hand, which made me look at her with a light smile. The both of us stared at the shadows of the tree's leaves and branches, through the sun it made beautiful dappled shadows. The sun was beginning to creep behind the horizon. Which made this moment even more beautiful. One of the many reasons I like Fall. Her hand was comforting, without warning I felt weight on my shoulder.
"Second Experiment." she murmured.
This music room has become our Sanctuary.
"The experiments aren't over yet. Len."
Usually I would've gotten pissed and yelled or complained but with her presence here beside me, I couldn't really say anything. So I closed my eyes and prayed to god, to let this moment last just a bit longer.
Don't let my Wonderland break just yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own I did I would be a genius. (which I'm not.)
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. I'm working on the next chapter now. And I'm listening to Magnet while writing this. It really helps xD
I just HAD to put another kissing scene here v.v Sorry. I was tempted to.
I love you all who reviewed ^^ (Visual hug here), any suggestions? Such as, more kissing+hugging scenes or more fluffiness? Short chapters or long chapters? 3 R&R and I'll give you a cookie.
Again, since in the previous chapter this didn't post: the english translated lyrics are on animelyrics(dot)com
