Chapter 3: Love sick
"Love is an acronym which stands for, Lots Of Various Emotions"
Miku's POV
"I bet that lazy Rin is still sleeping" I took out my keys and grabbed the one for her front door.
I unlocked it and took off my shoes before running upstairs to her room. Opening the door slowly, I saw Rin still snuggled in her blanket.
I ran and jumped on her bed yelling "Rin! You have to get your lazy butt up for school!"
She nodded and put the blanket over her head but I pulled them off and threw it on the floor.
"I knew I shouldn't have given you a copy of my house key" she got up lazily and dragged herself to the bathroom.
I smiled and fixed her bed while thinking "that's what you always say Rinny."
After the bed was clean, I went downstairs to the kitchen and began to cook some eggs for breakfast. I also threw in some leeks because they are just that awesome.
I heard Rin pattering down the stairs and placed some of the eggs onto two plates.
I smiled at her until I saw something out of place. Her ribbon was tilted more to the side.
I knew right then and there that she had something on her mind. I'll ask her after we're done eating.
Rin was used to eating leeks because I almost always cook for her but today was different. She was eating them slower than usual. I looked at her wondering what was wrong while eating my breakfast.
I took our finished plates and started to wash them while Rin got a glass of orange juice for herself.
As I was busy humming World is Mine, Rin came by and gave me her empty glass then sat back down at the dining table.
After I was done with the dishes I checked my watch and saw that we had five minutes to spare before we have to walk to school. So I sat across from her and looked at her firmly.
"What's wrong?"I asked and tilted my head.
She didn't look at me and pointed to the note on the fridge. I went over to it and read it in my mind. I came back but walked behind Rin and fixed her bow.
"That doesn't mean that you have to look scrubby" I laughed and tighten her ribbon when it was sitting at the top of her head.
"Thanks Miku" she stood up and grabbed her bag.
"You're welcome!" I ruffled her bangs and giggled.
"Mikuuu! I thought you said I shouldn't look scrubby?" Rin instantly fixed her hair.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it!" I covered my mouth.
Rin walked to the coat closet and took out a bright red umbrella.
"I don't remember you having a red umbrella Rin" I looked at her curiously.
"This isn't mine" she held it up "It's Len's."
I froze from shock and asked Rin why she had something of Len's. She explained what happened and nodded her head with a "yea-that's-all" face. I bobbed my head showing her that I understand.
"I see…" I then checked my watch and realized that we're out of time.
"We should leave before it's too late" I smiled and walked out the door after we locked it.
Len's POV
I let out a hot breathe on the other blonde's neck and hearing her sigh made me smirk. I started to nibble on her soft skin until I felt my nose tickle a little. I backed up from her, turned around and sneezed.
"Why did I have to stay in my wet clothes until they dried up?" I asked myself sarcastically.
"Len? What's wrong?" her golden eyes looked confused.
"I'm sick dumbass; didn't you just see me sneeze?" I turned back in her direction "I'm fine Neru."
I held her face in my hands and leaned in for a kiss. When I was an inch away from her lips, I looked at her in the eyes and immediately backed away.
Her eyes were blue for a second were they?
"Len are you alright?" I looked back at her and her long side ponytail disappeared and a bow was bouncing on her head.
I closed my eyes and said "sorry, I, uh, have to…" then ran out the door.
"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy!" I had no destination but my fever soon made me stop in front of my classroom. I opened the door and fell in my seat.
Luki came up to me and gave me a stern look.
I ignored him and rested my head on the table in front of me.
He lifted my head and I groaned from the headache I was having.
"Len, get out of my seat" Luki stared at me and I looked to my left to see an empty seat next to me.
"Fucked up" I stood up and dragged my tired body to my seat.
"There, happy now?" I whined but Luki kept the same firm look on his face.
"I know you're sick Len, you have a major fever" Luki touched my forehead and I just sat there.
"I'm fine, I'm fine" I waved him off "I'll just take a nap later" I rested my head on my desk.
"Well ok then, if you say so" Luki sat down and class started.
"I can make it… I hope"
. . . . .
When the lunch bell rang, I told Luki I'll be going to the nurse's office. He nodded and I hauled my heavy body to the door with a big, red plus sign on it.
I opened it and saw Luka, Luki's older sister and the nurse's aide.
She's another girl I never went out with but that's because I see her as a sister. I couldn't date her if I tried anyways. Cause she's already engaged with her boyfriend Gakupo or something like that.
"Hey lulu" I whispered softly so the migraines I was having, wouldn't kick in.
"Hey Len" she instantly stuck a thermometer in my mouth and guided me to a bed.
She took it out and gave me a worried look "Len, I'll contact your teacher so you just sleep here for the rest of the day ok? I'll have Luki pick you up after school" she went to the phone and began talking.
Luka's voice started to fade and I fell asleep.
Rin's POV
I couldn't find Len at lunch so I wasn't able to return his umbrella to him.
I was supposed to meet Akita Neru after school today for her appointment so I waited outside for her to show up. She walked out the school doors and once she saw me, she hugged me. I hugged back, since I could tell she was stressed right now.
We walked to my house/office and I opened the door.
Yes I meet my patients in my house; it's supposed to give them a more comfortable feeling than being in a real councilor's office.
"You can sit on the couch and I'll get us something to drink, anything you want?" we both took off our shoes and I led Neru to my living room, even though she already knew where it was.
"Anything's fine" Neru took a seat and I left for the kitchen.
I came back with some water and a bowl of chocolates. Miku said that they were comfort food for sad people so I chose to have them around.
Setting the items in my hands down on the coffee table and placing a tissue box next to them, just in case.
"What's wrong?" I asked in my monotone voice while taking a seat across from her.
"I-it's Len" she started to fiddle with her phone in her hand.
I got up and placed my hand lightly on hers while looked her in the eyes with a warm stare.
"You're in a safe place to talk, nobody's here to judge you" I felt her hand loosen its grip and she sighed.
I removed my hand and sat back down.
"Len… he's been acting strange" Neru looked at me with teary eyes.
"How?" my face still wasn't changing its expression.
"He seems… more self cautious…" Neru shrugged.
I knew this wasn't going anywhere so I asked another question.
"Tell me how this all started" I stared at her.
"This morning… we were, um, making out and he stopped to sneeze. When he tried to kiss me again, he froze and jumped off. After that…." Neru started to tear up and she grabbed a few tissues.
"It's alright, take your time" I said reassuringly, yet in a bored tone.
After one year of helping people, I realized that you should NEVER rush them.
"After that… he" Neru continued.
"HE RAN WAY!" she burst into tears and fell onto the couch pillow that was next to her.
"HE DIDN'T REPLY TO ANY OF MY TEXTS EITHER!" she held the pillow tight.
"HE ALWAYS TEXTS BACK! BUT NOT TODAY?" she cried.
"Neru… I think he wants to break up with you" I said coldly yet, in a comforting tone.
"WHAT? WHY? WHAT DID I DO WRONG?" she lifted her head and yelled at me.
"It's not what you did wrong, it's what he's choosing to do" my blank face was telling her the truth.
"He must have his own reasons" I added.
"B-but… I love him…" she said, finally calming down.
I leaned in and asked "do you love him enough to leave him?"
Neru stared at me with a shocked face.
"N-no… he belongs to me!" she mumbled out while looking back down at the pillow.
"Neru, that's not called love" she shot her head up and looked at me angrily.
"That's called ownership… if you love him then seeing him happy should be enough, am I correct?" I rested back on the couch and looked at her. Her face changed from being angry to being confused.
"I'm not here to make a decision for you; I'm only here to assist you to the next step" I sighed then Neru stood up and looked at me a bit teary eyed.
I stood up and pulled her in a soft hug. I could feel her hug back and she rested her head on my shoulder.
"Thanks Rin" Neru sniffled and pulled apart from me.
I smiled kindly and so did she.
She decided to go and I lead her to my front door.
"Bye Rin" Neru waved.
"Wait" I took out my cup of chocolates and held it out to her "here, for visiting the doctor" I chuckled.
Neru laughed and took one before leaving for her house.
I went back inside my house and saw the red umbrella sitting on the ground. I put my bowl away and picked it up.
"I should return this before I forget…" I grabbed my coat and exited my door.
I had to walk to the grocery store first because I don't know the way to his house from mine. While walking the streets, I reached the corner where Len got splashed with water by a car. I laughed a little from the memory and continued walking.
I reached his house and went to the front door. I rang it once but had no answer. I knocked and the door slightly opened.
"Wow… he's more stupid than I thought" I walked inside and closed the door behind me.
"Hello?" I stood on the welcome mat waiting for an answer.
"He's probably 'doing' someone right now" I was about to just leave the umbrella there and go away until someone said "Rin?"
I looked up at the stairway and saw a pink haired guy looking down at me with a puzzled face.
"What are you doing here?" he came down the stairs and when I looked at him, I have to say that he's a bit taller than Len.
"Just came by to return Len's umbrella" I held the object in front of me "what's your name?" I asked curiously.
"Oh how rude of me! I'm Megurine Luki" he smiled.
"Are you gay?" I asked instantly after he was done with his introduction. (A/N: I have nothing against gay people, lesbians, or bisexual people, please don't flame me)
Luki laughed and it seemed like he heard that question many times.
"No I'm not, I'm just Len's friend and he's sick right now so I'm helping him out" Luki pointed to the ceiling signaling the truth in his sentence.
"You must be an angel then" I said in a bored tone.
"Why is that?" Luki asked.
"Because you can befriend a dishrag like him, I'm surprised he didn't steal your girlfriend or something" I explained to him.
Before he could respond, a voice yelled out "LUKIIIIIIIIIIIII!" we both turned to see Len at the top of the staircase.
"Len! You're supposed to stay in bed!" Luki shouted.
"But I don't feel like it!" Len whined then stumbled but Luki ran up to catch him.
"Rin, I'm sorry to ask you this but can you help me?" Luki looked at me with a kind smile which was way different from Len's ugly smirk.
I took off my shoes and put my hand through the strap at the end of the umbrella then ran up the stairs to put one of Len's arms around my neck.
When we placed him in his bed, Luki fixed his blanket like he was his mother.
"Thanks" Luki smiled and I smiled back.
"Could you do just one more thing for me please?" he placed his palms together and looked at me with hope in his eyes. I knew this wasn't going to be good but Luki seemed like a nice guy so I agreed.
"Could you watch him? I have to cook him something for him but whenever I leave, he does something stupid. I couldn't even lock the door without him being an idiot" he clarified with a smile.
I laughed a little from him calling Len stupid and nodded.
"Thanks again" he smiled and left while closing the door.
I kneeled down at the side of his bed looked at Len's sleeping face and realized that he looked like a little kid. I laughed at my thought until I heard him shift positions.
He faced towards me and let an arm hang off the bed.
I poked his cheek while silently saying "now you don't look so tough."
Len grabbed my hand.
"Gotcha" Len smirked.
I freaked out so I gripped the umbrella with my other hand and hit his head as hard as I could.
He went unconscious and I was panting heavily from fear. I ran out tripping on the stairs.
I found Luki in the kitchen boiling something. Once I took a peek I saw a fish head stick out. My eye twitched from the stink.
"Oh, why are you down here?" Luki turned around from his 'creation' to face me.
"Don't worry, I read Len a bedtime story, I'm pretty sure he's deep asleep" I laughed sarcastically to myself.
"That's good, now you can help me cook!" Luki flashes an innocent smile despite the horrible site behind him.
I smiled at the thought of Len having to eat that crap. I think Luki would shove it down his throat despite Len's protest.
"No it's ok, you're doing fine" I laughed from picturing Len's horrible face getting stuffed with fish.
"Are you sure?" he picked up a ladle and scooped up some of the broth.
"I need a taste tester" he smiled and my eye twitched again.
"N-no, it's alright, I'm not a big fan of fish" I had to get out of this situation without being mean.
Luki leaned close to my face and smiled "maybe I can change your mind" he said in a soft voice.
I was trying not to puke from the smell of the fish that seeped into his hair.
I couldn't hold my breath anymore so I pushed him away and ran into a different room, taking a big whiff of fresh clean air.
I now see why Luki is friends with Len… he isn't wanted anywhere else and Len doesn't have anybody else to go with.
I peeked in the kitchen and saw that he turned around so I decided to make a run for it.
I put on my shoes and ran out the door at lightning speed.
Once I got home I fell to the ground and laughed.
"They're a perfect match!" I yelled in my laughter.
And that was when I realized I forgot to return Len's umbrella.
I actually had a different ending for this chapter but I thought that it would rush the whole story so I decided to not use it.
I just wanted to introduce Luki to Rin x)
I also didn't want to always have Rin's POV first so this time I started with Miku's!
But Rin had like 3 pages that's all in her POV e_e
I'll try to update soon!
You can review if you want. Nobody is forcing you.
