Number Three: Less-Than-Three;;

Len finds out Rin "less-than-three" 's him—the question is, what the heck is that?

When Len had asked to borrow his sister's laptop to finish his homework (his had suffered death-by-Road-Roller), and she had allowed him to, he did not expect to see an open chat with Miku on the screen that Rin seemed to have forgotten about. He knew it was wrong, but Len couldn't help but to wonder what the two had talked about and he quickly scanned the conversation. The chat seemed to have ended when Miku said "g2g date w/ kaito :D" but Rin hadn't closed the little box, leaving their words out for the whole world to see. The part that caught his attention in the chat, though, was something Rin had said in the middle of it.

"'I less-than-three Lensy'?" He read aloud, raising a perfect blond eyebrow in question. Who's 'Lensy' and why does Rin 'less-than-three him?

The first question was answered quickly and easily when he read what the two had said before it. They had been talking about him (apparently both girls thought he was 'shota', much to his dismay) so it was appropriate to assume that 'Lensy' was just another one of the silly little nicknames his sister have given him without his knowledge or consent. He was hardly surprised, as it seemed in her taste, and she was often calling him odd little things like 'Lenny', 'Len-Len', and, back when they were small children 'little banana' because of his adoration of the fruit. The latter had been her favorite until they watched a certain video upon exiting elementary school—a certain, ahem, body related video that had caused them both to blush heavily. Sometimes, when they are in an argument, Rin would call him by that name just to annoy him—needless to say, it really did. Bother him, I mean.

In any case, he decided that he longed deeply to knw what this strange 'less-than-three' concept is, so he decided to read Miku's reply to see if the teal-haired girl left any hints in her comment. She hadn't really, all she had was "omfg i kno! i ttly 'less-than-three' kaito-kun!" Len, softly cursing the girl's ability to type (or lack thereof), was left more curious about this strange 'less-than-three' concept. Was it some sort of new saying? A slang? He assumed it was some form of emotion or feeling (it just felt right) but he simply could not decipher what it was. What emotion did Miku have for Kaito that Rin could possibly have for him?

He could think of nothing but "love" but surely Rin felt a different sort of love for him than Miku did for Kaito? In which case, this clearly wouldn't work. But, what if Miku only loved Kaito as a brother (despite the fact that she's dating him)? No, that couldn't be right. So, could it be . . . is it possible that Rin loved Len as more than a brother? Deciding that it was improbable, and if he brought it up to her ever, Rin would accuse him of being "gross" or something, Len shook the thought out of his mind. It was best not to get his hopes up.

It was true Len had fallen in love with his sister in a way no responsible older brother ever should, but he highly doubted Rin would ever return his feelings. After all,, what are the chances of them committing the same sin? It was true they were twins and were alike in many ways, even appearance, but the chances of them being that similar were very low. Speaking of appearances, the twins really were often mistaken for each other, but Len had an air of masculinity about him and Rin was more "cute". However, Len knew despite their small differences, Rin would take no note of them should ever confess to her. He could practically hear the sarcastic remark she would give him—"Eww, are you serious Len? Maybe you're just narcissistic and you want to have sex with yourself so I'm just the next best thing. That's really gross, Len"—and their whole relationship would change forever.

But right now, this wasn't what was worrying him, what concerned him the most was the matter of this 'less-than-three' thing. What was it? Maybe it was hate, and Miku secretly despised her boyfriend? The thought made him scoff—as if! Miku was crazy for Kaito! So what was it, then? Printing the chat for later use, he decided he might ask some of his girl friends (as in, girls that happened to be his friends, not girlfriends as in . . . girlfriends) surely they will know? Or maybe, he would discreetly ask his sister, without alerting her of his intrusion of her privacy? Deciding that may be the best course of action, he folded the printed papers, pocketing them, abandoned his forgotten homework assignments, and rushed into the living room where Rin lay on the couch watching television. "Hey, Rin? I have a question."

She glanced up and blinked as Len pushed her legs aside and sat. "Yeah? What is it?"

"Well, I—uh—read something somewhere and I was wondering what it meant . . . I thought you might know."

"Oh really? What did it say?"

"Well, it said 'I less-than-three' and then a name. Yeah, so, translation please?"

Rin looked briefly amused before she burst into a fit of laughter, "Do you have paper and a pen?"

"Huh? Sure." Len quickly located the items and handed them to her, "Why?"

Chuckling and shaking her head, she carefully wrote the less-than-three sign beside a three. "Alright, Len-Len, tilt your head to the side and tell me what it looks like to you."

Nodding, he did as instructed before frowning, surely it couldn't be . . . !

"What does it look like?"

" . . . You don't want to know."

"What? Why?" Rin titled her head at the same angle as her brother before blushing, "I meant the other way! Tilt your head to the right, not left!"

"Oh." Len corrected himself, "It looks like . . ."

"Yes?"

"It looks like . . . a weird ice cream cone."

"An ice cream cone?" Her tone was incredulous. "Idiot! Here!" She connected the lines, "Now what?"

"It's a . . . heart?"

"Exactly! About time! It's a heart!"

"Oh. So . . . what does it mean?"

"What do you think? It means 'love'!"

"So," Len pulled out the printed IM's, "According to this, you love 'Lensy' and 'Lensy' appears to be, hm, me? So, Rinny," he leaned toward her, amused, "You love me?"

Len had to force himself to be indifferent and teasing about it when all he really wanted to do was kiss her. Or scream in joy—yes! She loves him, too! But it was better act coolly, right?

Rin was blushing, "A-ah, well, yeah. Len, I love you."

"Aw, I love you, too, my sweet little sister!" He draped an arm around her shoulder and found that it was easier than he thought to act naturally.

"I-I don't mean it that way, dummy!"

"Then, Rin," His expression was serious as he stared deeply into her eyes, "In what way did you mean it?"

As a reply, Rin decided the best way to explain it to him was to kiss him. So she did. It was everything Len had ever dreamed of and more, not that it was real. He ran his tongue along her bottom limp, asking for entrance which she eagerly gave him, letting their tongues battle for dominance. His arm wrapped themselves around her thin waist and she threw her own around his neck, bringing him closer to her embrace. She played with is hair absentmindedly in a way Len never thought he'd find enjoyable or "romantic" and yet, strangely did when it was her doing it.

Too soon, they had to pull away for air, "Well, you snoop, mind telling me why you were reading my IM's to Miku?"

"You left the window open."

He was about to pull her in for another kiss but was stopped when Rin placed a delicate finger on his lips. "Now, now, Len-Len, you have to finish your homework first."

Rin Kagamine had never seen her brother complete his homework so quickly and eagerly.

A/N;; Speaking of homework . . . OTL

Ahem.

If you don't understand what Len saw the first time he tilted his head to the side . . . you must be one of the few people that are still actually innocent in the world.

I'll give you a hint, though. Well, think back to, err, "little banana" XD

Double update for you guys! You all deserve it because I love you so much. Haha.

I can guarantee this won't happen again, though. Actually, updates will probably slow down. _;

I'm too tired to fix the errors in this so . . . deal with it until I get around to editing it, okay? Not that you have a choice in the matter . . .

So much for "rarely updated" collection. o_o

Reviews are the rainbows in my otherwise rainy days. :D
