2. the angel has horns : rin & len

Staring up at the stars, Rin inhaled the crisp, summer night air as she shared the spot with her twin. Her tent with Luka was only a few feet away from his and Katio's, so after their partners agreed to help out with lunch they found themselves pointlessly stargazing.

"You know, now would be the perfect time to lean over casually and kiss me," she half-joked.

She laughed, then snuck a peek at him to see him flustered and obviously trying to hide it.

Way to ruin the mood, Rin. Real nice.

Seeing him blush only made her do the same, so instead of saying anything more, she remained quiet.

"Um… you know," Len started, before he was interrupted by a loud crash.

"Shit, Meiko! And we were almost there too."

"WHAT? Who was the one who threw a damn hot dog at my head because she thought I wasn't looking?"

Miku and Meiko were practically at each other's throats, glaring at each other even though they were only two inches apart. Gakupo looked torn, not sure which idiot was in more need of counseling.

"Let's handle this like civilized beings. First we'll start off with Miku-" he began.

"FUCK OFF!" They yelled in unison.

Len shrugged, his look saying 'just leave them' as he sauntered off to find Kaito.

"Eto… where are we meeting?" Rin asked, slightly nervous about interrupting Miku and Meito's little brawl.

Gakupo, glad for a distraction, happily answered Rin's question. "Near the lake. At precisely at this time, Mrs. Watanabe will be reciting horror stories to the class. Would you like me to escort you?"

"Er, no. Luka would freak. Thanks though."

She left, leaving poor, confused Gakupo to think for himself what the meaning of 'she would freak' meant.

But, clueless as he was, he just assumed it was a new-hip dance move that he would have to ask Luka about later.

Sparklers. For once the old, batty teacher had finally done something right, and that was to buy sparklers.

It was chaotic as each kid scrambled to get one, their boredom getting the better of them.

"Look, I snuck out two!" Rin grinned, holding them up like trophies.

"No fair! I couldn't get even one."

"Fine."

She tossed one to her twin, and snickered as he failed to catch it.

"Rin… "

His voice sounded serious, so she stopped and took a seat beside him.

"They're pretty, aren't they?"

The fuse was gradually dying off, but the colors still shone brightly against the night sky. With the warm breeze, and just knowing that she was next to Len, she felt at ease.

"Yeah, I guess. Lot's of stars tonight, huh?"

"Yeah."

There was another awkward silence, which was strange, since they didn't happen too often between the siblings.

Len suddenly started speaking, his voice in a much lower tone as he hid his face.

"If a star fell from the sky every time I've thought about you, then the sky would be empty tonight Rin."

She looked at him, shocked, then unsure of what to say.

"Where did you get that from?"

"Kaito's pick-up line book."

"Figures." She leaned over, smiling, and slowly brushed her lips against his. It wasn't much of a kiss, but Len felt his insides warm up all the same. Surprised, he froze.

"But hey, tell him it works."

Kaito stared at Miku from across the campfire, his sparkler already used and on the ground.

With his hand behind his back, he held tightly onto his 'Pick-Up Lines For Idiots' book. Slowly making his way over to her, he waved.

"Hey."

"Hey," she said back. "Fun day?"

"Meh. Meiko mostly dragged me around everywhere."

At the mention of her name Miku suddenly turned pale, clenching her hands into fists.

"That little-"

"WAIT! I need to tell you something first," he pleaded, not wanting her to throw her one of her infamous tantrums.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, smiling. "MIKU... DAMN GIRL, YOUR ASS IS BIGGER THAN MY FUTURE."

There was a stunned silence.

Then, Miku got really, really close to him, and Kaito thought she was going to kiss him.

THWACK.

She had slapped him.

Kaito whimpered, clutching his stinging cheek as it throbbed in pain. He determined that he didn't like getting 'hit on', especially by Miku.

He didn't know how Len handled it. Solemnly, he made a vow never to flirt again.

Luka, who was nearby, stared at the both of them in astonished silence.

"And that, my friend, is a facepalm moment."

AN: Hah, poor Kaito.

I just love writing these, they make me giddy.

I hoped you liked it!
