Sorry for the late upload everyone, I didn't get to edit this till after Christmas since I was busy with the family and all.
Anyway, here's the final chapter of RBG, I hope you all enjoy.
It has been a little less than a week since I found a WiiU for Rin's birthday. (After hours of looking)
Christmas came and went with many wonderful gifts from everyone especially Rin, as well as a lot of kisses from her thanks to a well-known Christmas tradition. (I'm talking about the mistletoe)
A lot more happened on that day but that's not important.
What is important is that I have Rin's gift wrapped and ready for her, so tell me... Why am I still in my room just staring at the box that rests on my bed.
It wasn't long before we all had to gather up and to give our gifts to the birthday duo and yet I wasn't getting ready, I just stood here looking at this big box feeling like crap.
Actually, I think I'm feeling like crap because I know this isn't good enough for Rin, it was not hand-made or from the heart like the potted Leek she gave me, no!...It was just an expansive piece of mercenary I brought from a shop, no love or hard work put in into it what so ever.
It's just...Brought.
...Maybe I shouldn't go out there, I don't want to show my face to Rin if this is all I have to show her for all the wonderful gifts she's given me over the years.
I'm going to put this where no one can find it and-
"Come on Miku, it's time to give the two their gifts!" Too late, Luka came in without knocking... Again. "Whoa! Is that Rin's gift?" She pointed to the WiiU.
"Yeah, it was the best I could come up with." Which is really sad.
"Man it's huge, I guess that list was really helpful after all." Maybe in someone else's hands but not mine. As I was moping I noticed Luka was scaning my room. "Err, where's Len's gift?"
"Oh it's in my pocket." I pulled out a 5000 yen gift certificate to his favourite store, IA's import market...I don't know what kind of store it is, all I know is that he loves shopping there.
"Oh...Well it's the thought that counts." Okay, maybe it's not as grand as Rin's gift, but she is my girlfriend after all, it's my job to give her special treatment.
"Yeah, I know it's small compared to Rin's but-"
"Huh? Oh sorry Miku." ...Why was Luka heading out the door with my gift for Rin? "It looked like you were deep in thought, so I took the liberty of transporting the gift myself...You don't mind do you?" Was I really narrating that long?
"...Yeah, I don't mind, saves me lifting the damn thing." Technically damn isn't a swear so I'm not saying anything wrong.
Luka just smiled and nodded. "Well come on Miku, let's not keep the twins waiting." She pushed the door aside with her...Well...Butt then headed for the den. I soon followed making sure to make a mental note to get a lock for my room.
As I approached the den I could hear everyone mumbling to one another, I could understand one or two words but other than that I had no idea what everyone was talking about.
I finally made it to the den and saw everyone was there. Kaito was chatting with Gakupo about something, Luka was talking to Meiko while putting my gifts with the others, Neru and Len were sitting on the table talking with one another (I didn't even know Neru was going to be here) and Rin was leaning on the wall looking bored.
I approached my day dreaming girl not sure if she noticed if I was here. "Hey Rin."
"GAH!" Oops, I guess she didn't notice me. "Oh Miku, I didn't see you come in."
I couldn't help but giggle, she was just so cute when she's startled...I'm sorry I keep calling her cute, I just can't help it. "Yeah, I noticed by your little 'GAH' moment."
Rin started to blush. "Yo-you know I didn't yell because I was scared, I did it because I...Err..." She suddenly gave me a hug. "I yelled because I was happy to see you..." There is a contradiction in Rin's excuse but I let it slide since I love seeing her trying to act tough because it was so...Well you know.
She pulled back and faked a cough. "Anyway, you took your time to get here; I was starting to get bored without my teal haired beauty to keep me company." Aw stop it Rin, your making me blush.
"I know, sorry I was just finishing wrapping up your gift." That was a lie, it was wrapped days ago, but I'm not going to tell her the truth, she doesn't need the drama.
I pointed to my gift so Rin knew what I got her...Wow, sorry, that was a really obvious statement wasn't it. She turned the gift and started to widen her eyes with what I can tell was joy.
"WOW! My gods, look at that, it's huge!" She jumped at me giving me a big hug which hurt a little but in a good way, if that makes sense. "Oh thank you Miku, I know this will be the best gift ever!"
"Yeah..." I un-enthusiastically patted her head. "I hope you like it..." Even though you won't show it, but I know you'll be disappointed with the gift since it's not from my heart.
"Are you alright Miku? You look a little upset." She said while looking at me with concern.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, why wouldn't I be when I'm with the best and cutest girl in the world." While I was telling the truth I was also lying at the same time.
I could see by Rin's facial expression that she didn't buy it, she was about to question me further when. "Hey! Look Miku's finally here!" Meiko yelled and pointed to me, distracting Rin.
She ran to me and Rin, grabbing us by the arms. "Come on come on, let's get to the gifts already!" My goodness, by the way she's dragging us it's like it was her birthday.
She placed me with the others, then placed Rin next to her brother that stood by the gifts.
"Just in time Miku, I was worried that we were going to start without you." Kaito said to me.
"Don't worry Kaito, there is no way I would miss my own girlfriend's birthday." Although if it wasn't for a certain pink haired diva I just might have, reminder thank Luka later.
"I wouldn't put it past you, you are the queen of bitches after all." Argh, don't argue with Neru Miku, you don't want to ruin Rin's special day.
Oh yeah, I never explained how Neru and I feel about each other… Let's just say we hate each other and leave it at that.
So I took my advice and ignored her which I think upset Neru.
"Alright, is everyone ready?" Oh yes, I know what's coming up now. "Okay…1…2…3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEN AND RIN!" We all screamed in unison making the two smile in embarrassment.
"Okay, everything is set up for you two." Luka informed the twins as she pointed towards the table full of gifts. "Now all we need is for you two to decide who gets to open their gifts first." Let's hope the two don't start bickering, I hate seeing them fight.
"Aw, can't they open the gifts at the same time?" Meiko asked…Well... begged Luka.
"You ask me this every year Meiko, and the answer is no like always." Meiko pouted like a little kid not happy with Luka's answer.
After that happened, the twins faced each other with cocky smiles, which made me wonder what they were up to.
"So how are we going to decide who gets the honour of going first?" Len asked Rin but by his expression I knew he knew what he wanted to do...Ah, I'm confusing myself.
"Like you need to ask." Rin responded sounding sure of herself.
The two each put a fist out which made me worry. "Scissors,paper rock." The two yelled in unison…Well I worried for nothing.
"Whoever wins goes first." Len told his sister.
"Well no shit Sherlock." She responded in her own tasteful way.
"Scissors!" The two started their game both really focused on beating each other. "Paper!" Here we go, come on Rin you can do it. "Rock!"
And the results are in, Rin chose rock in hope to smash Len's scissors, but sadly Len used paper which covered Rin's rock, which means… "Ha ha, I win, I get to open my gifts first." Len taunted Rin and walked over to his gifts.
"Aw come on, rock always wins." Sorry Rin, rock does not always win.
I patted her on the back hoping to comfort her. "It's alright Rin, you'll get him next time." Well maybe, since it is a game of luck after all
"Aw well." She suddenly leaned on my shoulder and looked up at me with a sweet smile. "I get to be with you a little longer and that's never a bad thing." Oh Rin, you never fail to make me smile.
"Alright Len, which present do you want to open first?" Luka asked as he approached the table.
"Hmm?" He stood there for a bit with his hand on his chin deep in thought.
Anyway to save time, Len opened everyone's gift and seemed pretty happy with everything he got, well everyone but Rin's since all she gave him was a bad picture and we all know how he hates those gifts.
The most noteworthy gift was the latest Iphone from Neru, that was the most high-tech and expense gift he got. Also something else to note, when he thanked her Neru acted like it was no big deal, even though she had a noticeable blush across her face. I think she has feelings for Len.
So Len thanked all of us for the gifts and approached me and Rin, caring all his gifts in hand. "Alright Rin, now you can open your gifts, but don't be surprised if one of them is a crappy picture." He taunted Rin as he walked by us.
Rin groaned at her brother's comment. "... I'm ignoring you." She told Len then turned her attention to me. "Even though I really want to open your gift first, I'll save it for last."
"Huh? But with that logic wouldn't you want to open mine first?" I really didn't understand her reasoning.
She only giggled and kissed my check. "Maybe, but I know your gift will be the best, and as they say, save the best for last."
"Oh heh...That's...really cute." Oh no, she's going to be even more disappointed now, why didn't I get her something more meaningful, you're so stupid Miku.
"...Miku seriously, are you okAHHH!"
Meiko grabbed Rin by her collar and started dragging her to the gifts. "Yeah yeah, you two can be romantic later; I wanna see what you got!" Man, Meiko really doesn't know how to be patient, maybe Rin is right, maybe she did flunk out of patience class in kindergarten.
"Alright I'm going, just stop pushing!" Rin got free of Meiko and rushed over to the table to get away from her as fast as possible.
We watched as Rin opened her gifts one by one as if she had this all planed out...You know, that may not be far from the truth.
She was opening all the gifts at super speed which made me worry even more since she was going to get to my sorry excuse for a gift in like a minute or so.
Suddenly, Neru started staring at me which was getting on my nerves. "...Would you stop staring at me like that, you're creeping me out."
"Hm, sorry I was just wondering why you had your panties in a bunch." I guess Rin wasn't the only one who noticed I wasn't 100% myself.
I crossed my arms and turned away from her. "Why, does it make you happy to see me suffer?"
"Oh come on Miku, I would never find your pain amusing." Yeah, I would believe you if you didn't laugh at me the time I tripped down the stairs. "So why are your panties in a bunch, shouldn't you be oh I don't know, happy at your girlfriend's party?"
"...Fine, I'll tell you why I'm upset." Even though it was against my better judgement I faced her and began to tell her my problem, since you all alrady know the reason, so I'll just skip to the end. "And that's why I'm upset."
If I wasn't imagining things I swear Neru was giggling. "Oh you are so stupid Miku."
*Sigh* I should have seen that coming. "Yeah yeah, I'm a horrible girlfriend, just rub it in my face why don't you!"
"What? No that's not why you're stupid." Huh?
"What are you talking about?"
Neru rolled her eyes back. "You're stupid because you're beating yourself up over disappointing Rin for no reason."
"Really? You think so?" I was confused, why was Neru suddenly being nice to me, this is not making any sense to me.
"I may not like you Miku, but I like Rin and even though I hate admitting this...You two are the perfect couple." Th..That was the nicest thing Neru ever said to me.
I smiled, touched by her surprising kindness. "Thank you Neru, but that still won't change the fact my gift doesn't come from the heart." Jeez, now I'm just sounding like a broken record.
She let out a sigh. "Whatever." Now that's a response I expect from the Neru I know and hate
"Miku." Huh? Luka? Where did she come from? "Come on, Rin wants you to be by her side when she opens your gift." Luka dragged me by the arm effectively ending my conversation with Neru.
I now stood over Rin who was sitting on the floor with her legs crossed with my gift on her lap. (I'm surprised the box wasn't hurting her, or she's not showing any sign of pain) She looked up at me with a big smile. "Come on Miku, sit here next to me." She patted the floor next to her.
"Um…Yeah alright." I sat next to her with my knees also crossed to make sure no-one would see up my skirt.
She gave me a kiss on the cheek which made me blush to the surprise of no one. "This is it, the gift I was looking forward to opening all day with the perfect girl by my side."
"Yeah… I'm glad you're happy." Although it won't last, *Sigh* I'm so sorry Rin.
Rin started unwrapping the gift as fast as she could too excited to take her time. Even though I should be happy right now, I can't help but think of the disappointment that gift is going to cause her.
"…OH…MY…GOD! A WIIU! AHHHHHHHHHH! HOW DID YOU KNOW!" Ah! My ears! If I'd known she was going to scream I would have brought my ear plugs.
Everyone looked surprised and happy for my blonde haired beauty.
"What? A WiiU!... Aw man Rin; you get all the good stuff." Neru groaned sounding jealous.
"Wow!" Meiko jumped up and down like a maniac. "That's so cool, come on let's set that baby right here and *Hum Muem*"
Gakupo covered the woman's mouth which was the fasted way to keep her quit. "Now Meiko, this is Rin's gift, so it goes in her room."
Meiko pushed his hand away. "What!? But that's not fair! I want to play it too!" Its times like this I think Meiko is a 10-year-old girl in a 17 year old's body.
"Now Meiko, you got to keep the electric toaster in your room when you got it for your birthday."
Meiko crossed her arms and pouted. "…That was a badass toaster…Fine she can keep the WiiU in her room, I didn't want to play it anyway." Then why did you…*Sigh* Never mind.
Gakupo shook his head then turned his attention to us. "Sorry about that you two, I swear it gets harder and harder to keep her under control." Tell me about it.
"That's alright; I'm used to that by now." I can't tell if Rin's putting on a façade or not, I mean she just seems too happy for someone who's girlfriend got her a bland gift.
Then suddenly out of nowhere she hugged me. "Thank you so much Miku, this is the best gift I ever got."
I patted her on the back not worthy enough to hug her back. "Yeah… I'm glad you like it." Even if Rin is not faking happiness, I still should have tried harder and got her something that came from the heart.
Suddenly Rin got up holding the WiiU under her right arm and grabbed my hand with her left and started dragging me somewhere. "Wha, where are we going?"
"To my room silly, I need someone to help set this up."
"Wait, Rin! What about your-" Rin closed the door behind us cutting off Luka.
She placed the WiiU on her bed and stared at me with a blank expression which was a total flip from her earlier mood. "Wait, aren't we setting up your game?"
"That can wait; right now I need you to tell me what's wrong with you?" Oh no, that's why Rin dragged me in here, to tell me she hates my gift.
I looked to the floor trying to hold back my tears. " I'm so sorry."
"Huh? Why are you saying sorry for?" Please don't pretend I didn't do anything wrong.
"You know why Rin." I couldn't do it; I couldn't hold back my tears. "You made me the most wonderful and heart-felt gift for my birthday and all I did was buy you something from a store."
The tears started to side down my face faster. "I had so much time to find you a gift and I failed you so, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for being a bad girlfriend, I'm not worthy enough to be with you." I covered my eyes trying not to get my tears on her carpet.
Suddenly, I felt a warm embrace; it was Rin giving me a tight hug. "So that's why you weren't acting like yourself, you were worrying about finding something to match what I got you."
"…Yes… I'm so sorry Rin."
"Stop that Miku." Rin pulled back and stared into my watery eyes. "You don't need to apologize, you didn't fail me and you are the best girlfriend in the world and don't you ever think otherwise."
I was a little confused. "But how can you say that when I didn't put my heart into your gift?"
She grinned and wiped away my tears. "That's where you're wrong Miku, you did put your heart into my gift and you know why?" I shook my head. "Because it was from you." She told me with a smile.
"Huh? I don't understand?"
"Miku, think about it, you worried so much over what to get me to the point of making yourself cry, I don't know about you but that to me shows that you put so much heart into my gift it's crazy." Yeah…She does have a point. "And I don't care what you get me, small, big or heck you don't even need to get me anything because you always give me the best gift ever."
"'The best gift ever' what would that be?"
She kissed me on the lips which surprised me, only because I didn't expect it. "You silly."
Her expression was so cute and so innocent that it made me smile. I hugged her finally feeling at peace. "I love you Rin."
She hugged me back and repeated the same wonderful words. "I love you to Miku."
I learned a very valuable lesson today, I learned that I shouldn't stress myself and beat myself up over getting a gift from my heart for Rin, because no matter what I get her or what Rin gets me, it will always come from the heart because we love each other and that is a fact that will never change.
So after our hug, Rin grabbed the WiiU and brought it over to me. "What are we waiting for, let's set this baby up already, I can't wait to try this out with you."
I nodded and started to help her set up the WiiU.
After we set it up and put in all the details and got comfortable sitting on the end bed, we ran into a slight bump in the road. "What! It's going to take two hours to update, aw fuck, this sucks." Rin laid on her bed, arms crossed, annoyed.
"Well this isn't good, what are we going to do for two hours?" I asked her. "AH!" She suddenly pulled me on top of her and looked at me seductively.
"I have one idea."
I seductively smiled back knowing what exactly she was talking about. (Like I said, just kissing, nothing else…In a few years yes but not now) "I think I know what it is,and I like it."
We started kissing again like we always do enjoying every moment of it.
"Hey, did you two set up the WiiU yet…Oh my!" Then Meiko walked in on us and you guessed it…SHE DIDN'T KNOCK!
We stopped with another damn saliva trail going from my lips to Rin's and turned to Meiko, shocked. Meiko hid her head behind her hands and ran off. "SORRY SORRY SORRY!" We heard her scream all the way down the hall.
We stared at the door for a second to process the situation. "…Can you believe that Miku, it seems like someone always barges in on us whenever we make out?"
Getting sick of always getting interrupted, I got up and grabbed my bag.
Get your things Rin, I'm going to get your second gift
Huh? What are you getting?
Something we should have got a long time ago
A freaking lock!
