Len's P.O.V
I quickly closed the door behind me and walked a couple good feet before slumping against the hallway.
Slowly, I began sliding down until I sat on the cold floor. Heh, it was quite refreshing on my burning skin.
What was I thinking getting so close to her?
I sighed and leaned my head back against the smooth wall.
Let me introduce myself.
I am Len Kagamine. I am fourteen years old and in my first year of highschool. That girl in there is my sister, Rin Kagamine. She is very funny, smart, caring, beautiful, er-
Moving on...
Interests: bananas, soccer, yellow things, Rin, fluffy stuf-FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID AFTER YELLOW.
Okay okay... I admit to my crime of loving Rin and fluffy stuff.
Well maybe I'm still in denial...
So there... Yeah, go ahead and judge me.
I love my frick'n sister... Is that so bad?
Who am I kidding, it's horrible.
I think I started loving her more than I should around the age of 12. I was always getting picked on and being called "Shota Len". One time, a group of girls had kidnapped me and were placing girl accesories in my hair and curling it. I could easily hurt them, but as an honorable man I could never hurt a woman. I thought I was done for but then she came for me. Rin came in and prompted to beat up the girls for bullying her brother who only she was allowed to call shota. She then offered me a hand and gave me a big grin. I couldn't help but blush. Rin then helped me get those horrendous things out of my hair. Since that day, I saw Rin in a different light. I began to workout, if you can even call it that, so I could be able to protect her instead of the other way around. As I grew "less shota" as Rin called it, more girls started paying more attention to me. It was kinda good since I never liked being called a shota in the first place, but I still couldn't like any of them the way I like Rin. Just as I had become "less shota", Rin was slowly becoming a very beautiful woman. As the years passed I grew more protective of her. Our house is fairly big yet Rin and I share a room.
My parents began to start objecting to this after Mr,Puberty knocked at our door but we remained firm.
Who else could protect Rin from imaginary monsters if not me?
This was always my best argument which apparently they don't buy anymore. That is where Rin comes in and pleads and pleads until they give in. I mean, who can stand to say no to those pools of sea blue?
I sadly know that it won't last much longer. As soon as we turn fifteen I am sure they will stop us from sleeping together...
I got up from the floor and walked down the stairs. I took a small detour from the door and reached the ballroom. The shining floor reflected the light from the chandelier high above.
How long ago was it that we haven't danced across this floor?
Ever since we were little, Rin and I have loved to dance and sing. Every night we used to glide across this very room, Rin's dress sweeping the floor. Recently though, we haven't even stepped inside this room...
Maybe after I come from Kaito's I'll ask her if she wants to...
Kaito! Ugh, I forgot about him... Crap! If I don't get there before 5 then I have to buy him a tub full of ice-cream!
I quickly left the room and exited the house.
✿.·°∴✿°· °✿
"Ahhh, that was close Len... Ten minutes until five." Kaito said as I entered his house.
"Yeah, yeah, I got distracted." I mumbled.
"Come on, Gakupo is already in the living room."
"So... How is Rin?" Mikuo, Miku's brother, asked.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked a little irritated.
"Geez man, just asking." He said, "It's not like she is your girlfriend or anything." He muttered the last part.
I stayed there silently and tried to avoid the fact that I was blushing or it would get worse.
"Eh Len, are you blushing?"
Crap...
"No... What the hell?" I asked.
"Oh... It's because it looked like... Meh, forget it."
Gakupo got up and set up the video game.
I sighed. I want to go home already and see Rin...
Time can't just pass by fast enough...
✿.·°∴✿°· °✿
I got home feeling very exhausted.
Kaito said that every time we lost against him we would have to buy him an ice-cream cone.
Gakupo and I agreed and luckily only he ended up buying two scoops.
I nimbly walked up the stairs and headed towards our room.
The light was off so I entered softly, not even bothering to knock.
Though the light in the room was dim I could clearly see Rin's sleeping form under the covers.
I smiled. Seeing her always made my heart feel warm and my body tingly. I quickly slipped out of my clothes and changed into my pijamas which consisted of a a simple t-shirt and sweat pants. I then quietly climbed into bed, careful not to wake up my sleeping princess.
Rin's P.O.V
I felt Len get under the covers and was at once at peace. I don't like going to bed without him so I remained awake until his return. When he came in I pretended to be asleep.
The good thing was that my back was facing him or else he would soon find out that I wasn't asleep. Being the protective and caring brother he is, he would probably scold me.
Then I felt his arm move and he caressed my hair with the back of his palm. My body turned rigid, blood rushed to my face, and my heart began pounding irregularly. If I were a normal sibling like I should be, this small gesture would mean nothing more than a simple sign of brotherly affection... But noooo... Rin Kagamine has to be some twisted human being who loves her brother and is blushing madly from such simple but tender contact.
Rin, calm down! If I don't calm down soon I'm sure Len will hear my rapid and loud heartbeats. A sleeping person can't have an erratic heartbeat!
Breathe in, breathe out... Calm down... Everything is fine and you should be asleep.
Suddenly, he placed his arm around my waist.
Wha-?
Len, you stupid idiot! You aren't helping me! Do you want me to hyperventilate?
Len's P.O.V
It's a shame that Rin is turned around. I like seeing her angelic face in sleep...
I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT, OKAY?
Without realizing it, I began to tenderly stroke her golden hair.
What would I do without her?
I felt her body tense. I stopped.
Was she having a bad dream? Poor Rin...
I then put my arm around her small waist, trying to comfort her.
Her body began to shake and get very warm. Huh? Was the dream THAT bad?
Maybe I should wake her up...
The door knob twisted and I held my breath as the door creaked open. Why would they come in at this hour?
Rin's P.O.V
While I was busy trying to calm down, I registered the sound of the doorknob being turned and the door opening.
Since my mind was being distracted from the person currently hugging me, my heart slowed down to a healthy beat.
I heard the footsteps approach us and then silence followed.
"Until how long do you plan on letting this continue?" My mother's stern voice could be heard.
"It's not such a big deal. Look at them, peacefully sleeping together. I don't see a problem in letting them do that. It's not like Len is going to rape Rin or anything. They are siblings for goodness sake, they don't think of each other that way." My father said.
We both tensed. I felt Len shift and then he pulled me closer to him. His hand searched for mine from under the covers until he found it.
"You might be right but you know about the special conditions..."
Special conditions? What are they talking about?
"I know... But for now the situation seems fine, doesn't it? Len would never harm Rin, he loves her more than anything in the world. Just look at the way he holds her protectively, even in his dreams."
"That is exactly what I am afraid of. Len loves his sister too much! What are we going to do if they fall in love with each other? Huh? He might do something to her!"
How could she even think that way about Len? Isn't he her son? I squeezed his arm, a sign that I was awake and there for him. He returned the squeeze and we lay there, unmoving, hearing the dreadful conversation.
"Calm down! You forget the very children you talk about are resting in this room."
"We need to do something about this and fast! We should start by separating them and making them sleep in different rooms. If things don't change by then, we will have no choice but send Rin to boarding school."
Not sharing a room? Boarding school? I felt my heart stop and tears threatened to give us away. Len meanwhile gripped my hand firmly, a gesture of comfort that calmed me down a little.
"Let's go and leave them to rest. Tomorrow we will make the necessary arrangements to let them have separate rooms."
"Alright."
With that, the adults left, leaving us with an empty and cold silence.
What are we going to do?
Len's P.O.V
As soon as our parents left, I felt Rin's body begin to tremble. Her shoulders shook as she cried. She let a whimper escape. I turned her around and my eyes met a pair of watery, sorrowful, sea blue ones.
I felt like crying too but I had to be strong for Rin. Wouldn't be of help if we both broke down crying, now would it?
"L-Len... I-I-I-"
"Shhhh..." I whispered and stroked her hair. She sobbed into my chest and I just patted her back, whispering words of comfort.
"W-why do they do that?" She asked.
"Adults are strange people. They can be very heartless at times."
"Len... I don't want you to leave me! I don't want to go to boarding school!" She yelled into my shirt.
"..."
My heart had just broken in two. I hated seeing Rin cry. I love her... I can't bear to be apart from her.
"It will be alright..." I whispered into her hair at last.
"B-but... They are going to separate us!"
"Shhh... It's okay. Even if we sleep in different rooms, I'll still come see you every night. Plus, you aren't afraid of monsters hiding under the bed anymore, right?"
"No..." She whispered softly, "Now my greatest fear is losing what I love the most... You."
Through the darkness our eyes met and we shared a silent understanding. Her eyes were dull but I sensed a hint of yearning. My face heated up. Hehehe... Love the most, eh? Hmmm, I wonder how she meant that... Stupid Len, as siblings of course!
"I love you too Rin..."
In a matter of seconds I felt her breathing gain a steady rythm and I realized she had fallen asleep. Her tiny hands were still clutching my shirt, her face nuzzled in my chest.
"That is exactly what I am afraid of. Len loves his sister too much! What are we going to do if they fall in love with each other? Huh? He might do something to her!"
She was right... I love Rin more than I should. But I would never hurt her... Would I?
I closed my eyes but I knew sleep was somewhere far away, in an unreachable place.
It'll be okay Rin... You won't be going to boarding school... Not if I can help it. Even if I have to forever wear a mask, I'll protect you. A mask where on the outside I am happy and cheery but on the inside my heart is slowly dying...
