Rin Matsuoka


I stretch my arms in the air, letting the tension in my joints melt away, and I sit up in the futon then look around at my surroundings. Beside me, Gou lays motionless still fast asleep. I look at my phone which reads 9:23am on a Saturday morning. I groan and haul myself to my feet suddenly feeling the urge to run to the little girl's room. I step out into the hallway, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and wandering down the hall, trying to remember the location of the bathroom.

The sound of a tap running directs my attention to a door on my right, and I walk to it as quietly as possible. Sure, waiting for some you barely know to get out of the bathroom in the morning just to run in after creeping outside in the hallway would seem a bit awkward, but a girl's gotta go when a girl's gotta go, I just really hope that it isn't-

A lock clicking averts my attention upwards and I meet an icy stare from Gou's older brother, Rin. His eyes are slightly puffy, and his hair is dishevelled and pulled back into a messy ponytail. If not for the pissed off look settled on his face, I would have thought that he was extremely attractive. Not that he wasn't already. But somehow, the way he grimaced at me threw off my attraction towards him. His voice, husky and slightly horse spoke sharply, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"You're still here?" he asked rhetorically in a way that was more of an insult, but I decided to answer anyways, whether he meant to be rude or not.

"Yeah." I replied, "I actually slept over the night, You just kept yourself walled up in your room all evening after you grabbed an early supper, and I never got the chance to say anything to you after that..."

"I see." he said coolly, and I wasn't sure if he was thinking about what I said, or just disinterested, "Well, good morning."

"G-good morning." I stuttered after him as he stalked down the hall, not sure as to if he had heard me or not.

Slipping into the bathroom, I placed my hand over my chest, and only now took notice of my burning cheeks, uneven breathing, and pounding heart.

"Freaking Matsuoka... starting something this early in the morning." I mumbled to myself.


Author's Note::/ Yay! More Rin-chan! I guess this can be considered a continuation from last week... Hopefully this made up for the crap chapter last week. Hope you enjoyed!
