Fate? (re-uploaded!)
I nod my head with the beat of my song as I walk down the hallway to my room. I pause my music and shove the headphones down onto my shoulders as the shrill sound of my door bell echoes throughout the mansion.
"Got it!" I call loudly, to let my staff know that they were not needed. Sighing, I strut towards the door and wrench it open.
"Hello-" I'm cut off by the sight of a handsome man before me. I blink repeatedly as he looks at me with a slight smile.
"Hey Rin, long time no see." he says. I frown as I look him over, messy blonde hair, blue eyes, wearing a tux.
"Who are you?" I ask in confusion. He blinks.
"Len..Len Kagamine, your fiancé." he says slowly. I snort before chuckling.
"Unlikely." I snicker as I shut the door roughly on him. He yelps slightly and I put my headphones back on as I press play. Fiancé, how unlikely. I freeze, my eyes widening. Len... With as much grace as I can manage, I turn quickly and fall against the door and open it.
"What was your name again?" I ask sweetly at the man who was rubbing his red nose.
"Len Kagamine." he says. I nod as I look at the steps before slamming the door shut again. A muffled 'ow!' sounding after the slam. Len...Kagamine...Kagamine. I tap my lip in thought. Why...did that name ring a bell. I blink repeatedly before throwing the door open.
"YOU!" I shriek as I take in Len who was rubbing his nose.
"LEN KAGAMINE?! AS IN THE KAGAMINE THAT PERFORMED LIKE DISLIKE WITH ME TEN YEARS AGO?!" I yell, making him stumble back in surprise at my loudness.
"The one and only." he laughs hesitantly, pulling his hand away from his nose. My eyes widen as I stare at him. Thinking back to the Len that was barely taller then me with large blue eyes, semi squeaky voice and 'man tail'.
~*~ goin' old school ~*~
I was pacing back and fourth to try to relax.
"Rin, calm down." Len sighs as he leans his head back.
"I can't calm down! I'm so nervous. Look! Look at this! I'm shaking!" I yelp as I hold a shaking hand up for him. He opens one eye before shutting it again.
"So you are."
"So you are." I mimic back. "I'm freaking out here!" I sniff.
"Take a deep breath." Len says as he leans forward and opens his eyes. I take a deep breath.
"Hold it." he orders sternly. I hold my breath. I...didn't expect him to say hold it...I took a really big gulp. My cheeks start to heat as I clench my eyes shut.
"A little longer." he says. He's trying to kill me-
"And breath out." All the air I was holding rushes out.
"You're- a- jerk." I pant. He smiles widely at me.
"Hey, I distracted you didn't I?" he laughs. I narrow my eyes at him.
"I'll show you. You little shorta!" I snap as I launch at him, poking at his sides as he tries to wiggle away from me.
"Knock it off Rin!" he snaps as he tries to catch my hands.
"Never!" I laugh.
"Rin! Len! Your on next." Kaito says as he points toward the stage where all the screams and cheers were coming from. I gulp as my hands fall and Len stands.
"Come on Rin." Len smiles, offering my a hand up, that I quickly take. I wince.
"Try to act like your fourteen. Not five." Kaito sighs as he moves to sit in the chair Len was in. Len grabs my wrist and pulls me through all the stage crew members to wait by the stairs to the stage. Miku waves wildly at the crowd before skipping towards us. My legs begin to shake and I pale dramatically.
"Rin. Calm down. We've been through this dance number over 100 times. Just relax, pretend their not there and just focus on our steps and the song." Len whispers as he moves the microphone on his headset up. I shudder before moving my microphone as well and nodding. Len gives me a nod before releasing my wrist and holding his up. I smile slightly as I tap my wrist to his as our song starts playing. I take a deep breath before smiling and rushing out onto the stage with Len shortly behind me.
"I like you. I don't like you. I don't know." I sing as I look toward Len who gives me a hidden wink.
~*~ back to the future ~*~
"Yo-your not a shorta anymore." I stammer in shock. He rolls his eyes at me.
"People tend to out grow that stage." he says flippantly. I look him over again.
"Wow." I breathe.
"Are you going to keep staring at me? Want me to pose for you as well?" he asks raising an eyebrow at me. I narrow my eyes at him and push the door open.
"Shut up and come in." I hiss as I walk into my parlor, Len following after me.
"So, what have you been up too?" I ask awkwardly, grabbing a water bottle from the mini fridge and throwing it at him.
"I'm a professional piano player now, I actually travel around the world a lot now." he says with a slight smile as he sits in one of my leather chairs. "What do you do?" he asks turning his gaze to me. I gulp.
"I...ahh..." I always hated being under Len...and this wasn't helping my self esteem much.
"What was that?" he asks, genuinely interested.
"I take care of moms mansion." I wince. Len blinks at me before busting out laughing.
"What's so funny?!" I yelp in embarrassment.
"Isn't this what you always wanted? You always said you didn't want to work when you grew up." he snickers. I puff my cheeks out.
"Shut up bully." I snap.
"You really haven't changed." Len sighs happily. I blink in surprise.
"Oh? Have you seen the others?" I ask in surprise, sitting across from him on the loveseat.
"Oh yea. Miku comes to some of my concerts. Kaito and Meiko got married..shock right? They...I think run a bar. And Luka is a bilingual music teacher that teaches at private schools." Len lists easily. I smile slightly.
"I haven't seen them in ages...it's nice to know they're all okay." I say softly. Len nods and fidgets with his water bottle. The room falls into thick silence.
"Rin..." Len starts hesitantly, glancing at me before looking down. "Before your mom passed on...she and my mom...ahh...made an arranged marriage for us..." he winces looking down.
"Lemme guess there's another girl?" I ask, pursing my lips and resting my chin on my hand.
"No.." he frowns, looking up at me.
"You want me to terminate it?"
"Not exactly.."
"Then...what?" I frown, trying to not show any emotion on the subject. My childhood crush pretty much just said we're engaged, I was flipping out mentally.
"Well, we haven't seen each other in over 10 years...I think we should prolong the date and see how things work out." he says as he looks me over. I blink repeatedly. That was it? I push away my on coming fangirl.
"What do you have in mind?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him.
"Actually. I'm glad you asked." he smiles widely. "From the sounds of it you haven't seen the gang in awhile. You don't have much to do here. Why don't we start off where we did all those years ago?" Len asks.
"What about your piano things?" I ask as I bite my thumb nail in deep thought.
"It doesn't really matter, it's more of a for fun thing." he says as he waves me off. I pull on my hair in thought.
"I know that look. You're thinking of the cons to this. There aren't. Just think, everyone together again." Len stands and holds a hand out to me. "Well Rin? Want to start a band?" he asks with a smile. I pull my thumb away and look up at him.
"Well-"
