Finally! I realized that I hadn't really thought much about this story... but at least I finally have a good idea for it! Also, thank you so much for the reviews! Even if there weren't too many, I still feel happy...:)
AliasStars: Yeah, I know it's a bit rushed, but that's because the song that I based this fanfic on wasn't pretty detailed. I just used the scenes that came up in the pv, and I guess you could say that I'm really lazy...XP
Note: The rest of the story will be in third-person pov, unless it's something that's really important that only Rin of Len knows.(If that made any sense.)
Third person POV
Rin burst into a fit of coughing that lasted quite a while. "Are you okay?" Len asked again.
The blonde-haired girl managed to squeak out a "fine" before she started to shiver so hard that she couldn't speak. "C'mon, let's go back." Len led the shaking girl back home.
What he didn't notice was the hand Rin was hiding behind her back, covered in blood.
...
...
Rin lays wrapped up in blankets in her room. Her face looks a bit red, and beads of sweat are dotted along her forehead. Beside her are a couple orange peels, a bowl of ice, and a thermometer that reads '97 degrees'. "Heyyyy! Rin!" an unfamiliar voice calls. In bounds in a pretty girl with long teal hair that's tied up in twin ponytails. "Miku!" Rin said, in a slightly croak-y voice. "What brings you here?"
Miku pouted then replied, "Of course, since I heard that you're sick, I came to take care of you!" She holds up a shopping bag stuffed with leeks and shows it to Rin. The sick girl makes a face, then starts to laugh. "What? These will help you feel better, I'm sure of it!"
"I can't believe that you're still addicted to those!" Rin giggles, pointing at the bag. Her friend grins sheepishly, but in return, gestures to the pile of orange peels. "I guess old habits die hard, as seeing that you, Rin, are still in love with oranges!"
Both girls burst out laughing, but that's cut short when Rin suddenly starts coughing. Miku stares at her companion with concern in her eyes. "Are you sure that you didn't catch a disease apart from the cold?"
Rin fidgets uncomfortably under Miku's gaze. "Um-" she started.
"It's fine," the tealette interrupts. "If you don't want to tell. But just take care of yourself, okay Rin?"
The sick girl smiles. "Thanks."
...
Len walked down the street, his arms filled with bags of stuff (oranges to be exact). "Why do I get bossed around by someone I don't even know?" he grumbled to himself.
-Flashback-
A sudden knock on the door makes a blonde-haired boy look up from peeling oranges for his companion. "I'll be right back." he tells Rin, who nods.
Answering the door revealed a young woman with long teal hair. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "So you guys live together now?"
Huh? Len thinks before Miku starts talking again. "Okay, so can you get some more oranges for Rin? I bet that she already finished the last one; she eats a lot when she's sick."
How did this person know? Len had just enough time to think before he was pushed out the door.
-End of Flashback-
There had been the audible 'click' of the lock right after he was shoved out. With no other way to go, he had gone to the nearest grocery store.
...
Arriving at the house he was staying in, Len hesitantly tried the door. Thankfully, it was unlocked. He walked in, the bags almost slipping from his grip. Len managed to dash into the kitchen before he dropped everything and carefully set the groceries on the kitchen table. He started to walk up the stairs to Rin's room to check on her, when something teal barreled down, knocking Len off his feet. "Ouch!" he exclaimed, rubbing the side of his head.
Miku stood up and dusted herself off before she seemed to remember something important. "Oh wait! Len! Call the hospital! There's something wrong with Rin!"
"What!" The blonde-haired youth raced up the stairs leaving Miku to dig in her bag for a phone.
Bursting in, Len hurried over to Rin's side. She wasn't looking too well, and she was breathing hard, her breath coming out in ragged gasps. He quickly took her temperature and scowled when he read the numbers. "112 degrees?! How is it possible for her fever to rise so much in such a short time?!"
The tealette rushed in at that moment. "I called the hospital, and an ambulance should be here, like, now!"
Outside, the faint stains of a siren could be heard, announcing that the ambulance was here. Len scooped up Rin, blankets and all, and started to carry her down the stairs, out to the front where the hospital car was waiting.
...
The car ride to and entering the hospital was uncomfortable. Rin was in a severe condition, and the nurses were rushing around, trying to stabilize Rin's state. The next hour or so was a blur, and Len could only remember bits and pieces of what happened. Eventually, Rin was settled down in a room near the room Len had been in when he was in the hospital.
Finally allowed to visit, Miku and Len sat down next to the now-stable Rin's bed. She was starting to gain conciousness. Len turned to the girl with the turquoise hair and asked,"Who are you?" It was a question he'd been meaning to ask for a while, but he never had the chance to.
Miku just gaped at him, her sea blue-green eyes widening in surprise. "What are you talking about, Len?! We' ve known each other for a whi-" Miku stuttered to a halt when she felt Rin's hand gripping her arm.
Rin stared at Miku, almost as if warning her not to say more. To Len, she said, "She's my best friend, so of course she knows you. I need to talk to her, can you give us a few minutes?"
Len nodded, and headed out to the hall, but not before glancing backwards a couple times. "Miku."
Miku, who was staring after Len in shock, turned her attention to Rin. "I don't know how to start, but Len has amnesia."
...
Before Len came back in five minutes later, Rin explained everything to Miku, even the fact about her disease.
Miku sat with an almost horrified look on her face, and she was covering her mouth with her hands. "Oh Rin, are you sure you'll be fine?" The tealette has tears sparkling in the corners of her eyes, which were full of concern for Rin.
Rin nodded weakly, then gave her friend a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'll be fine..."
Miku stood up slowly, as if she was reluctant to leave. "I'm sorry, but I promised to meet Kaito for dinner, and I have to go..."
As she left the room, Miku gave Len a mild glare, and whispered, "You better take good care of Rin, or else..." she left the threat hanging before finally exiting.
Don't worry, I will. Len thought. He sat down in the seat that Miku had occupied a few minutes ago and tried to grab Rin's attention. She was lost in thought, and didn't notice Len until he'd said her name a couple times. "Huh?" The blonde girl replied, her eyes still having that far-away look.
"Ah, um... uh, Rin-" Len started to say, before he faltered, realizing that Rin wasn't fully paying attention. "Nevermind."
...
The visiting hours were over, and Len was eventually forced to go home. He slowly walked down the darkened street, looking around. This place was so familiar, yet he couldn't remember anything. It was so frustrating. He took out the picture, the only clue to his past. Who is that girl? Len stopped walking, thinking hard. The girl in the picture had blonde hair, just like him. Maybe she was a relative? A sudden thought hit him. Rin! She has blonde hair!
Len examined the picture more closely. Nah. He decided. If it was Rin, she'd have told him already... But something didn't feel right. Whenever he thought about Rin, her laugh, smile, and her personality, he felt a strange tingle in his stomach. He felt his face warming up at his thoughts, but why? He had to find the girl in the picture first. Len pushed away his feelings, but he already realized something: he was in love, not with the girl in the photo, but with his caretaker, Rin.
...
Rin stared out the small window next to her hospital bed. Dang, the bed was uncomfortable. Why couldn't the hospital buy more comfy beds for the sick?
It slowly started to drizzle, which was rare in the summer. Ah, I hope Len doesn't catch a cold...
She sighed and closed her eyes. Len...
...
...
2 weeks later~
Rin has been recovering at an amazing rate, but the hospital wouldn't let her go for some reason. Ever since Len discovered his feelings, it was much harder to act normal around Rin. He would blush more easily, sometimes for no reason, and she would look at him funny. Other times, he would stutter, and fumble over his words, which was embarrassing.
Two weeks had already gone, and it was almost late summer, and the weather was slowly becoming hotter and humid.
It was a typical day so far, and Len was just about to set out to the hospital to visit Rin, when the phone in the hallway brought Len back inside. He picked up the phone, kind of irritated that it was delaying his visit. "Hello?"
After listening to the person on the other end, a nurse, talk for a few seconds, the phone dropped out of Len's hand, hitting the floor with a dull thud.
...
He hurried, as fast as he could run, to the hospital. When he got there, he was too late. He couldn't see Rin anymore. Len fell to the floor, exhausted, and miserable.
...
...
It was another, normal, boring day for Rin. Or that was until she started to cough, that painful, hacking cough that hurt her throat, a lot.
A nurse that was walking by saw her, and also seeing the thin stream of blood running down Rin's arm, ran to get help. Soon, she was surrounded by nurses and doctors. Speech was hard to decipher, but Rin heard snatches of "Someone, move her to the operation room!" and "The patient's health is detoriating fast!"
That was all she heard before blacking out.
...
...
Len sat on a hospital bench, anxiously waiting for news. It seemed like Rin had gotten to the operation room safely, but the real problem was the operation itself. It was dangerous, and the patients who underwent it had a survival chance of less than 30 percent. He banged his head on the wall. Len had been waiting for hours, and still no news.
If only! He thought. If I had noticed the signs earlier!
He continued beating himself up, both mentally and physically, until a doctor walked out of the operation room, a grim look on his face.
"Well, Mr. Kagamine. It seems the surgery went well. We did everything we can, but the rest depends on her."
Len let out a huge sigh of relief.
...
As soon as it was allowed, Len burst through the door to be able to meet Rin. She was still knocked out from the anesthetic, but the nurses reassured Len that she'd wake up soon.
Len decided to bring Rin a present when she wakes up, so he went back home and retrieved some roses from the backyard garden. After trimming off the thorns, he went back to the hospital.
Len was just in time to see Rin wake up, slowly opening her eyes. "Um, here, Rin, I brought you a gift..." Len said shyly, holding out a single rose. "I actually picked more, but when I was trying to take the thorns off, I only didn't mess up on this one..."
Rin slowly took the rose from him, smiling. She inhaled the sweet aroma of the rose and layed back down in her bed. "Thank you."
Len blushed, then started to say, "Uh, um... Rin?"
Rin looked up from the rose, but it seemed to take a lot of effort. "Yes?"
"I... um... I- I really-..."
Rin giggled weakly. "What?"
"I-I-I love you!" Len burst out saying.
Rin looked shocked, but soon recovered and started to smile serenely. "Me too." she said quietly. Rin closed her eyes slowly, and relaxed, sinking down into the bed.
Len, his face bright red, asked, "Rin?"
She didn't answer.
He realized that the room was eerrily quiet. "Rin?"
Len, worried now, gently shook her, getting no response.
"Rin?!" he called a bit louder. "Hey, Rin! ...Rin!"
Because of the commotion he was making, a doctor came in to see what was the matter. He walked over to take her pulse.
The doctor looked up sorrowfully, and shook his head.
...
...
Yup. Cliffhanger! Mwahahaha! *cowers* please don't kill me!
*ahem* Anyways, I decided to add one more chapter, just because this one was getting kind of long.
I felt uncomfortable writing the fluffy parts...-_-
Yeah, so, please review and tell me what you think!
