Hello minna-san! I apologize for not updating recently because I had some tests and Midterms. -.-
I hate my life.
Rin: Then go commit suicide.
Len: Or we can commit homicide.
Me: I prefer to NOT get run over by a road-roller. -.-
Rin&Len: Goddamn.
Me: ...thanks...
DISCLAIMER: NEVER EVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER. XD
Rin's POV
"I'm winning."
"No you're not."
"I got this. I got this. I got this. Igotthis Igotthis Igotthis IgotthisIgotthisIgotthisIgotthisYEEEEAAAAAH!"
"Goddamn you and your leeks!"
"Gasp! Offensive!"
"That was kinda the point..."
I fall back onto the huge sofa., the Wii remote strapped to my wrist. I've been playing WiiSports and WiiSports Resort with Miku for over 3 hours. I need a break.
I wipe sweat from my forehead.
"Well, Rin-chan, happy you came back now?" Miku says with a smug expression written all over her face.
"I almost regret it. Plus, I WAS FORCED TO COME BACK BY YOU." I stand up. "I need a break."
She shrugs. "So do I, but I'm just..."
She jumps up and down. "KYYYYYAAAAAAA! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE HERE!"
"Then don't believe it." I roll my eyes.
She stops. "I don't get why you have to be so hasty."
"Where's Neru?" I ask suddenly.
"Neru?" Miku needs to think about it.
"Oh yeah, and Sonika."
"She went to study abroad."
And at that moment I realize that I had a deep revelation about how I laughed at the face of insanity and that elbowing people's faces was less fun than I thought it would be and that I couldn't eat.
I was lying on the ground.
Laughing my FREAKING HEAD OFF.
"HAHAHAHAHAH! KYA-HAHAHA! THAT'S A LAUGH! That is the best joke I have heard since..." I wipe tears of laughter from my eyes.
"Believe it or not, it's true. I think she only went to study abroad 'cause her parents needed to find a new job or something. I could care less." Miku takes a leek out of the fridge. "As for Neru, she's out doing something."
I jump up and run aimlessly for the door, accidentally crashing into Len.
"Watch it!" Len snaps.
I rub my head. "Okay, you wanna hear a funny joke? Ha, yeah, come over here. It's funny, yeah. YOU!"
"WHAT!?"
"YES, You are the joke!"
I slam the door in his face.
"Woman, I need to get in here!" Len's muffled cry resounds through the door.
I look back at Miku. "Neru, what happened?" I growl.
"Oh I remember now. She went to go pick up her brother at the train station."
"Nero?"
"Does she have any other sibling? I don't think so."
"...OMG YES! NERO IS LIKE THE BEST." I clap my hands.
"PARDON FOR THE INTRUSION." Len breaks the door open.
I jump, surprised.
"WHO EXACTLY IS NERO?" His voice is shrill and dangerous.
Number 1 precaution: Knee him in the vital regions.
I bring my knee up, but he moves aside just in time.
He grabs my shoulders and shakes me violently. "WHO IS HE."
"AaAAaaHhhhhHHH." I look down so I wouldn't get dizzy. "JUST A FRIEND. NOW LET GO."
Miku slips out.
Oh...that mother'f*cking traitor...the next thing you're gonna see is your leeks being put into a blender.
"LEN!"
He stops.
"Woman, you've got explaining to do."
"Explain what!?"
"Who the hell is Nero!?"
"Like I said, he's just a friend."
"I don't believe you."
"Then don't! Why would you care anyways!? It's not like you're in love with me!" I hiss.
Len stops, and turns into a deep red blush.
I win.
But I don't get why he's blushing.
"I'M HOME." I jump at the familiar voice.
Neru-chan!
I push past Len and run outside.
"NERU!" I stop at the entrance.
"Rin!?" a girl with dark blonde hair looks up with brilliant yellow-amber eyes.
"Is that Rin!?" a boy similar to her looks past her shoulder.
"Nero!" I smile.
We stare at each other for a moment.
1 second...2 seconds...3 seconds...4 sec-
"RIN!" my concentration's broken by Len's shout.
He tackles me onto the floor.
"OW! If it was on the bed, it would have been nicer!"
"NO IT WOULD NOT HAVE."
He's right.
I'm being pinned in an very awkward position by Len, who's looking down on me with anger sparking fire in his eyes.
"The hell is going on!?" I look upside-down.
Neru covers her eyes and Nero's back faces me.
Number 1 precaution: Knee him in the vital regions.
I am mad right now.
More than mad.
I am INFURIATED.
"AAH!" I quickly knee him in between his legs.
But that's also a bad idea. Because he falls right on top of me.
"Oof! LEN GET OFF OF ME. YOU'VE SQUASHED ME AS FLAT AS A LEAF." I struggle beneath him.
"Itai..."
Um...it's even painful just to watch.
"Neru, a little help?"
Well, Len his finally off of me, despite how perverted that sounds...but yes!
Just saying...Neru is my best friend, next to Miku. Neru was held back a grade because she had to get surgery on her stomach. So she missed a whole year...
But that's besides the point.
I need to strangle Len later.
But Len has never seen Neru nor Nero. So...
"Neru, this is Len. Len, Neru. Nero, this is Len. Len, Nero." I try to stay cheerful as I introduce each other.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"Nice to meet you."
And so forth.
However...Len is still...uh, wary of Nero. For some strange reason. I don't know why. I already told him we're just friends. Wait...why would he care though? Uh...Wait. Could it be that Len...? No. Nevermind. That is waaaaay out of my league. In other words, that's impossible. The day it happens is the day I buy crystal meth.
Side note: DON'T DO DRUGS.
Ahem.
"Rin." I turn around.
"Len?" I look behind. Neru and Nero and everyone else were talking and having fun and stuff. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
I bristle. "Don't 'nothing' me! I know there's something!"
He shrugs. "Nervermind. I'd rather keep it to myself."
I frown.
I don't think Len has ever kept secrets from me before. Does he not trust me?
Well, I said that I didn't trust him so...
Maybe.
...
What am I thinking!?
UUUGGGGHHH!
The sewing machine must be bigger so it can penetrate the heart! I take my scissors out of my pocket.
The fluorescent lights flickering of the blades and casting a wicked glare into my eyes.
I blink.
These scissors are precious to me.
They help me feel better somehow...
"Rin." Len says once more.
"What?" I look back at him.
He shakes his head.
Geez, if you have something to tell me, would you speak up!?
I feel it again.
This deep aching in my heart. Like the sewing needle has just pierced my heart. Like when Rinto...why...? Why!? Why!? Tell me! Give me answers! Why did you leave me alone? It's dark here. It's cold and scary. It's lonely...It's painful...
I take a chocolate bar and break it in half.
I lift it up to Len.
"Eat it." I command.
"Why?" Len looks at me in surprise.
"Please...I don't want to be sad anymore..." I can feel the tears building up behind my eyes.
He looks at it, then looks away. "I don't want it."
.
.
.
So this is how it felt...deep despair. Nii-san, I'm sorry...
"Len..." I cry. "Why?"
Tears spilled over the edges of my lower lid. Like a bucket being poured into a well or a waterfall down a sheer side of a cliff.
"Len...Len...I...I want to trust you." I say.
He looks back at me. And sighs.
"Then trust me."
I whimper. "Len..."
The chocolate bar falls out of my hand.
He picks it up and looks at me.
Suddenly, I'm wrapped around this warm scent.
Len has pulled me close to him.
"Fine." his breath comes out warm.
I hear him take a bite.
The crunch resonates through my heart and saves my soul.
"You idiot." I pound on him with my right fist. "Don't be so vague! Idiot..."
I shake my head and clutch at his clothes.
"Don't leave me alone. It's scary..."
"I know." he says.
"It's painful."
"I know."
"It's lonely." I whisper.
"I know. That's why I won't leave you. I've said this before right?" Len's voice is soft and comforting.
I feel like being drowned in this sweet melancholy.
I am sorry, this was sad as well. Sort of. Maybe. Not really? I don't know.
Rin: Would you stop making me cry?"
Len: Yeah, Like seriously.
Me: SHUT UP. I'm the one who decides how the plot moves along!
