A/N: Thanks soooo much for the reviews! It motivates me more than I ever thought it would

The week passed, every day the same as the last: trying to ignore Kagami-san as much as possible. The morning before Rin left home Monday was also the same as usual. She ate, changed, brushed her hair and teeth, grabbed her stuff and she was out the door. She pressed floor one and prayed that it wouldn't open on floor seven.

But of course, it did.

Kagami-san stepped in once again, just like yesterday. This time, Rin knew she couldn't avoid him by "forgetting" something, so as the elevator went down she tried to think of a different excuse to get away from him. She obviously couldn't say something here, because she did that yesterday... Maybe "buying" something at the train station? Yeah, there wasn't any way he could disagree with that, or be suspicious about it. The problem was the five minutes they had. Rin planned to just leave him, so what if he came looking for her? She didn't know the train station the best, but then she realized, neither did Kagami-san.

The elevator opened on the first floor. They both stepped out and started walking to the station. For a while, Rin felt something was off.

Then she realized it was because Kagami-san hadn't said a word since he had saw her.

Rin felt happy and awkward at the same time. Happy because he wasn't talking and she didn't need to talk back, but awkward because of the same reason. What was with him?

The way to school was also silent. Rin made it all the way to class without Kagami-san speaking a word to her. It bothered her but she felt she should be glad about it, not wondering why that was so. She had got her wish. She should be happy.

For some reason, she wasn't.

Lunch was painfully awkward. Rin read her book while she kept seeing Kagami-san glance at out of the corner of her eye. It would look like her was going to say something but then second guessed himself right before he did. Rin tried to ignore it but she couldn't help herself from noticing it every time it happened.

"K-Kagamine-san." Rin heard Kagami-san whisper her name. She glanced upwards to see him staring at her nervously, very unlike what seemed like him. "W-Why do you keep... ignoring me?"

Rin wanted to brush off his words and ignore him, maybe even just give him a cold stare and go back to reading, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to. She wanted to know why he was like this, if only a little bit. Only slightly.

"I..." She began, then trailed off. He would think she was crazy if she told him her actual reason, wouldn't he? But she didn't have any other excuse. "Um, I-I'm just... really scared of hurting you. Emotionally."

Why did she just tell him that? She started second guessing herself as soon as she said it, and punched herself internally. He had no reason to know, did he? She just spilled her own secret to someone she didn't even know. All she knew about him was the fact he kept talking to her for no reason. And the debt with his parents, if that was his family, which seemed like it.

"Why?" He asked. Oh gosh, Rin knew she had no way of avoiding this anymore. She hated herself.

"I just... Well... I feel like I've done it to so many people in the past... when I moved away from them, they were hurt, even though I had no choice. I do it so much without knowing it."

When she started telling him her story, she couldn't stop no matter how much she wanted to. Even though it was to almost a complete stranger. Maybe she wanted to tell someone, because she had no one. Maybe she had a longing and she didn't know it.

"It's okay," He comforted her. "I'm sure they forgive you."

"Really?" She asked, somewhat skeptical. "What if they never got over it? I mean, I did leave them-"

"They forgive you. They've probably moved on, found new friends. Not to replace you, of course not, but to remember you. It happened to me before."

Rin questioned why they were having a deep conversation if they had met only a few days ago.

"Anyways, enough on the sad subject. Don't be afraid to make new friends, Kagamine-san. You won't hurt them. Also, don't call me by my surname anymore. It's a little awkward when we see each other everyday and still act formal, I guess."

Did that usually happen? Rin was confused as to why Kagami-san was so open and assertive. Or maybe that was just her. But one thing was for sure: she was going to be more open (or at least try to be), now that her fear was less prominent then before.

This person was changing her.

Rin grabbed her bags as the last bell rang. She was on her way out the door when she was interrupted by a tap on her shoulder.

Who else did she expect?

"Hi again," Kagami-san greeted. "Sorry if I'm bugging you too much."

"I-It's fine," Rin managed to get out, still used to pushing people away. "What do you want?"

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to join a club with me."

"U-Um, w-what clubs are there?" Rin stood shocked. She had never even considered joining one.

"I actually did find a choir club. So, I know it's a stupid question, but what do you like to do?"

"I don't know... Sometimes, I do like to sing, I guess... But I'm usually reading, to be honest..."

"You could join the choir club with me then! I don't know anybody besides you, really, and you can't be alone forever."

"Well, I guess..." Rin reluctantly followed Kagami-san to wherever he was leading her. Although she didn't really want to sign up for a club, she decided she would do it. Maybe it would actually be fun. She had never been in one before, so it was a new experience, for better or worse.

She was lead to a room with almost nothing in it, except for people and some chairs. A girl with long, blue twin-tails ran up to them excitedly.

"Hello! You're new here!" The twin-tail girl exclaimed. "Welcome to the Choir club! We currently have about 10 members so we're always looking for more! Well, I always would be no matter the number. Anyways, I'm Hatsune Miku, nice to meet you! Just call me Miku, please."

"I'm Kagami Len, hello Miku-san," Kagami-san greeted. There was a silence before Rin realized she needed to introduce herself.

"Oh, um, I'm Kagamine Rin, nice to meet you too, Hatsune-san."

"No, really, just Miku," Hatsune-san insisted.

"Um, o-okay."

"How do we sign up?" Kagami-san asked, saving Rin from a bit of embarrassment.

"Oh, just the forms over there," Hatsune-san pointed to a stack of papers. "You take one, sign it, have your parent sign it and return! Easy as that! We look forward to seeing you again!"

Both Rin and Kagami-san took a sheet of paper. Rin looked over the form before putting in it her bag.

"Well, we should be getting home, shouldn't we?" Kagami-san asked, probably more meaning "we really have nothing else to do, we should go". Rin had no choice but to agree and follow him out of the school.

"You're a nice person, you know that?" Kagami-san told her after walking out of the school in silence. She didn't know how to reply to that, slightly shocked.

"I-I guess," She mumbled.

"It just seems like you don't give yourself enough credit for your talents. Even though I've never heard you." How could he say that so nonchalantly?

"I mean, I've never took lessons, and there's plenty of people better than me."

"So what? We do it to have fun. I never took lessons either."

"Yeah, but still..."

"... I know I'm about to ask you a weird question, but can you sing for me?"

"U-Um, I'm not that good.."

"It's okay if you don't want to. It does seem like a personal question to ask."

"When I get better, I will. Is that okay?"

"Of course." He nodded, confirming he didn't mind, or judge her. How could someone be like this? It confused Rin as she walked on the train, both her and Kagami-san grabbing the same pole.

She didn't deserve a friend like this. But as she thought about it, she didn't do anything wrong, except judge herself. It's just Kagami-san was someone she never expected to meet in her life.

The train stopped and they both got off, walking back to the apartment building together, talking about the Choir club. As they approached the building, Rin suddenly got worried. What if Kagami-san's parent were arguing again? But it turned to relief as they entered their home and heard no yelling. They entered the elevator and pressed buttons seven and eight.

The elevator opened on floor seven. Kagami-san bid her farewell and "see you at school tomorrow!" before exited. Rin watched his back as the doors closed and suddenly felt a bit emptier.

What was with her?
