Vocaloid School Stories – Chapter 2: Arrangement
It was morning, Miku was about to leave for breakfast. Rin was in bed, coughing and temperature as hot as lava.
"I can't believe you got sick in our second week of classes," commented Miku as she covered Rin with some blankets.
"Sorry, I guess I'm not used to this place's environment," replied Rin, breathing heavily and coughing.
"Stay here, I'll come back in a minute with breakfast for you and some tea," Miku smiled gently at her friend.
"Thanks," Rin said softly, closing her eyes.
Miku left and came back 5 minutes later together with Luka.
"Rin, we brought you some tea and your breakfast," Luka called softly, closing the door.
"Here you are," Miku left the plate on the table next to Rin's bed.
"Well, I'm leaving, I've got classes," Luka told them while adding some honey to the tea. She left it next to the plate and headed for the door. "I hope you get better!" She shouted as she rushed to the mess hall to have her own breakfast.
"You are too kind," Rin gave a weak smile, the soup-filled spoon touching her lips as they parted to let her drink it.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a copy of the classes and homework. If you feel tired, I can do them for you," Miku offered and took her bag. "I'll come back during break to see how you are doing." Miku closed the door and left Rin alone.
"I'm lucky to have friends like these," Rin reflected as she drank some of the tea Luka had brought. After she finished her food and tea she covered threw the blanket back onto herself with as much strength an ill person like her could muster, and went to sleep.
One hour passed and she was woken up by the sound of the door being opened. She opened her eyes and saw his brother heading right at her.
"How did you get here?" Rin asked angrily.
"I told the receptionist lady I wanted to take care of my ill sister, and she let me pass," he replied, looking around the room.
"Shouldn't you be at classes?" Rin stared at him, confused.
"One or two classes are not important," He proclaimed confidently. He got closer to his sister, kissed her on the forehead and took the empty cup and plate to another table.
"Why are you doing this?" Rin asked, blushing and rubbing her forehead.
"I think it's just appropriate since we are siblings" He replied sitting in Miku's bed.
"So, this is where Hatsune-san lives, right? He said, making a perverted face. "If I get sick, will she take care of me too?" Len asked, closing his eyes, fantasizing.
"No, she won't," Rin replied coldly.
"Do you think you can make her go on a date with me?" Len was still deep in his fantasy.
"No way," Rin looked pretty annoyed by her brother's questions.
"I see…" He opened his eyes.
"Then, do you want to go out with me on Saturday?" He asked casually.
"Why are you asking me that?" Rin blushed and covered her face.
"I just want to have better relations with you, right now it seems that you hate me," He stared intensely at her.
"But I do hate you," Rin muttered, looking down. "You are a pervert."
"I swear I haven´t done anything to you," He was getting a bit irritated. "That's why I want you and me to do something on Saturday. Miku can come, of course."
After hearing that she knew he just wanted to get closer to Miku using her.
"Ok, then, me and Miku will go." Rin looked at him confidently.
Len looked surprised; he didn't expect Rin to say yes.
"Then, I hope you get better by Saturday, of course." He said, getting up from the bed. He kissed Rin in the same spot as before and headed for the door.
"I'll tell Hatsune-san you are getting better, so she doesn't have to worry" He called, smiling gently from the door.
"If you tell her that you visited me she will just get more worried," Rin muttered.
"You're right," He sighed sadly and closed the door leaving Rin alone.
Rin rubbed her forehead once again and laid on the bed, she was too tired to think about Saturday and how she was going to explain Miku that they were going out with him. She closed her eyes again and got asleep.
-Hours later-
Miku was walking through the empty hallways of her school, it was break time and everyone was outside. She headed to her room to see how Rin was doing.
"Hello, there!" Somebody touched her shoulder and made her turn around.
"L-len! Don't scare me like that!" She complained, pushing him away.
"I saw Rin a few hours ago, she is fine, no need to worry," Len noted, smiling at Miku.
"Y-you visited Rin? What did you do to her?" She shouted at him angrily.
"Do you have something against me?" He seemed hurt as his smile faded away.
"O-of course I do! What a silly question!" She blushed and looked another way.
"It must be because of Rin, right?" He questioned her.
"Well, yes," Miku kept avoiding his eyes.
"I wonder why she hates me so much..." He asked himself looking down.
Miku said nothing; she didn't want Len to feel bad, because she liked him. They way he never left her alone, the way he smiled and the way she never knew what was crossing his mind, but she had to avoid him because of Rin, who apparently had a bad relation with him.
"Lately, I've been trying to be a good brother, but she just keeps on avoiding me" Len sighed hardly.
"M-maybe I can help you!" Miku offered herself, stuttering. If Rin and Len got along then she would be able to be closer to him.
"Then, why don't you come with me and Rin on Saturday?" He asked her, the smile on his face reappearing.
"O-of course," Miku answered blushing. "W-wait, how do you plan to make her go with you?" She asked.
"I asked her before you, she said it was ok," He answered, leaving.
Miku also left for her room. She knocked on the door and saw Rin in bed sleeping.
"Wake up, Rin!" She shouted.
"Huh? Ah, Miku!" Rin stretched, yawning.
"It looks like you are fine now," She smiled at Rin.
"No, I'm not, I don't want to attend class tomorrow!" She cried, hugging Miku.
"Don't be lazy, come on, you look fine now," Miku pat her friend on her head.
"Ok mom, I'm coming..." Rin looked as if she was going to fall asleep again in any moment.
"Uh, yeah Rin, you see, Len told me we are going out on Saturday, right?"
After hearing that, Rin opened her eyes completely, looking surprised at Miku, who was blushing playing with her own hair trying to avoid her eyes.
"Yes, did he ask you to go with us?" She asked.
"Y-yes he did! W-what? You don't want me to go?" Miku asked shyly.
"Of course I do want you to go with us, but I was supposed to be the one who invited you" She replied.
"Ah, yes! Here it is," Miku added, handing Rin some notes.
"What is this?" Rin looked confused.
"I-I told you I was going to bring you the notes from class, you'd better copy this to your notebook!" Miku ordered firmly.
"But I wanted to sleep the whole day!" Rin cried, throwing the blankets onto herself again.
"That's not good, you know classes are important!" Miku argued.
Her efforts were useless, Rin was already sleeping. Miku packed her bag to get ready for the next few classes; she prepared another cup of tea for Rin for when she woke up, and left to her classroom.
