Len's P.O.V

My alarm clock rang and I quickly shut it off, already fully dressed.

I woke up fifteen minutes earlier today and just thinking about picking up Rin made me get up in an instant. I ran down stairs and sat down at the dining table like a good little boy. Mother, Neru, and Lily showed up soon after.

"Morning Lennn~!" Neru exclaimed and hugged me.

"Morning Neru."

"Woah, you're early. Unless we're having banana pancakes, I don't see why you're so happy." Lily muttered as she sat down.

"I have to pick up Rin." I said, immediately gobbling down breakfast as soon as my mother placed it in front of me.

"Oh so she accepted after all?" Lily asked while poking her cereal, "I would've thought she'd out right refuse."

"Nah..." I said and quickly avoided Neru's glare, "Well I'm leaving."

"Len, seriously," Lily said before I left, "You look extremely happy. It's as if Rin gave you a new meaning for life."

I stopped walking and turned around slightly, "It's something like that..."

"Are you smiling?"

"Good luck with Dell!" I exclaimed and ran away, leaving a flabbergasted Lily behind.

✿.·°∴✿°· °✿

Kiyoteru drove me to Rin's house. I got out and told him I'd call him if I needed reinforcements.

I fiddled with the keys and opened the door. The house was pretty empty without a crazy Meiko to occupy it. I nimbly went up the stairs and knocked on the door.

"Kaito?"

"Sorry to burst your bubble but it is I, Len." I muttered, not happy he was the first person she asked for.

"I could still hope, right?" Rin answered from the other room.

"Do you need help in anything?"

"Not really... I'm done you can come in."

I turned the knob and entered the room. Rin was fully dressed in the school uniform. She just needed to put on her shoe. I kneeled before her and slipped it onto her small foot. She squirmed as my hand made contact with her skin.

Really? Am I that unpleasant to her?

"You still hate it when I touch you, don't you?"

Rin slightly nodded.

"Why?"

"I don't like you." She said matter-of-factly, "I thought that was pretty obvious."

I sighed, "And didn't I say I would change that?"

Her eyes widened slightly as if she had been expecting me to forget about our deal.

I licked my lips, "First step commence."

"Huh?"

I used my finger to poke her index finger. Instinctively, she drew her hand away from mine.

"Slow..." I whispered and poked her once again, "See? It isn't so bad."

Rin remained immobile, her chest slowly rising and falling, staring intently at my hand with her sea blue eyes.

"Now..." I said and placed my hand on top of hers, "What do you feel?"

"I-I feel..." She started and took her hand away, "...that this is stupid."

"You must cooperate Rin. If you don't want to take things slowly," I said and scooped her up in my arms, "Then we'll rush it."

Her eyes widened in alarm and her pinks dusted a bright pink, "J-Just put me down."

I sighed, pushed open the door, and carried her downstairs. Then, I stood with her in my arms, "If you want me to put you down then there is a single word you must say..."

"Please?"

"Ah," I said and set her down on the chair, "Give yourself a pat on the back while I go get your crutches."

She scowled and sat down angrily. I couldn't help but think she was so cute when she got mad...But even cuter when she blushed.

My heart skipped a beat.

Woah woah woah...! Hold on a moment... Did that just happen? There is no way my heart could've skipped a beat for Rin here... Nonononono...

Or could it?


Rin's P.O.V

I plainly stared at the guy while he stared back as I ate my cereal. It's a kinda fun game we have going on...

"You gonna eat faster or want me to finish that for you?" He wondered out loud and I scowled at his remark.

Nonetheless I began shoving cereal in my mouth while glaring at Len.

"So did you do all your homework?" The blonde boy asked, obviously trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah." I mumbled and pushed the bowl away as to signal that I was finished.

He got up, placed everything in the sink, and handed me my crutches.

I got one and placed my weight on it while Len placed the other one under my arm.

"Thanks." I muttered, barely audible.

"What was that?" He asked.

It was too late to stop the blush that overpowered my face, "N-nothing."

He smirked and slowly moved a strand of hair out of my face, "Your welcome Rin."

Len turned around to go open the door and I felt the heat radiating from my face was going to make me pass out. Though the crutches were offering support, my legs felt like they were jelly. S-Stupid jerk...

I crutched over to the open door and Kiyoteru was waiting outside. Ah geez, I'm becoming familiar with the jerk's chauffeur! You know that's pretty bad...

We got inside and soon we were outside school.

Len helped me out and I crutched up the stairs, momentarily leaving pretty rich boy behind.

"Rin wait up!"

I stopped, and soon, the blonde guy caught up.

"Hey!"

We both turned around to see Kaito approaching us. My heart sped up almost instantly at the sight of his wondrous smile.

"H-hey Kaito." I squeaked.

"'Sup Rin, how has this jerk been treating you?" He asked, nodding towards Len.

"Ah, he's not doing anything bad yet..." I said, "Just being his normal idiot self."

Len rolled his eyes, "Guys I thank you for loving me so much but we got to go get Rin's books before it's too late."

Kaito handed me the books he had in hand, "No problem, I got them for you."

Len's eye visibly twitched. Aww, did it disappoint him THAT much not being able to help me?

"Len~!"

Now it was my turn for my eye to twitch.

"Hey Miku."

Kaito also immediately cringed. Hm, he doesn't like leek freak either? Yay! We can have a leek freak hate fest together!

Miku went up to Len, slung her arms around his neck and began kissing him.

My face contorted into an expression of pure disgust. Whatever I do, must not throw up. Please? Kaito is here. I can't gag and look bad in front of him.

Oh god, Miku's gonna eat him alive! Ahhh! The leek freak is eating Len! My eyes! My poor eyes! They buurrnn!

"GET A DAMN ROOM!" I exclaimed and then immediately shut my mouth closed, not expecting to say it out loud.

Len gently pushed Miku away, his cheeks tinged with embarrassment.

Miku glared at me, "I forgot you were still here."

"Ah, right," I said, smiling, "I'll be leaving now."

I began crutching away and Kaito walked besides me when suddenly I got pulled back.

I gave a frustrated groan, "You jerk! Do you know how dangerous it is to pull back a person in crutches, damn it?"

"Do you know how embarrassing it is when Rins yell things out loud like that?"

Ah, so this was revenge.

"Well it's not my fault. You were basically throwing a show back there! I wasn't going to stay and watch like one of your fangirls!" I spat.

"Well Miku is my girl-wait... Are you jealous?"

"Oh wow! It would be of great amusement to you if I were, huh? Well guess what? I'm not jealous! Completely the opposite because I like...!"

Len stood there, waiting for me to continue. I blushed when I realized what I had been close to saying. Kaito looked at me in a questioning manner and I felt like shrinking down to the size of an ant.

"...I like staying away from you." I said and turned around.

Then I felt a weird sensation as Len whispered in my ear, "Too bad then, because I quite enjoy your company...no matter how cranky you get."

I gulped and jabbed him with my elbow, "G-get away from me."

Len then turned around and began talking, more like arguing, with Kaito. Miku used the opportunity to approach me.

"Look... I don't care if Len takes care of you out of pity, but if I see you even slightly trying to seduce him or something, you will pay."

I rolled my eyes at her threat, "I'm so scared! Don't worry. I couldn't care less about Len."

I was about to leave but couldn't leave a remark hanging in my mind, "Oh and by the way, you and Len make a great couple."

She blinked in surprise.

"The jerk and the leek freak... Perfect!"

Miku growled and hissed at the same time and if it weren't for Kaito dragging me away then she would've probably clawed my eyes out.

"Rin!" Len said and followed me, "That wasn't very nice."

"Well I'm not a very nice person, am I, Len?" I snapped.

Kaito mumbled a quick goodbye and I was sorry he had to leave.

"Well you could be if you tried..."

"I don't plan on apologizing so leave me alone." I grumbled.

"Three weeks. We made a deal."

I stopped right before we entered the room. I had forgotten about that...No, more like I wanted to forget.

"Fine." I mumbled, "But I'm going to try to get along with YOU not leek freak."

"Would it kill you to call her Miku?"

I pretended to think about it for a moment, "Hmmm, why yes, yes it would."

He rolled his eyes again and simply followed me inside class, not bothering to say anything more.

Boy are these three weeks going to be long...

✿.·°∴✿°· °✿

We walked into English class and just as they had moved people around so Len could sit near me in the morning, they did the same here.

I sat behind Len and to my dismay. The girls next to us knew him. They chatted a while and I resisted the urge to plug my ears with my fingers and begin chanting "lalalalala" in a very loud manner.

The class went silent during Haku's lecture (yes, she is also my English teacher) but those girls' googly eyes basically radiated a ton of flirty comments towards an oblivious Len. Geez, I don't know whether I should hate this guy or plainly feel sorry for him.

Haku assigned us about ten pages to do so I quickly began to do them. I mean, come on, this is extremely easy for me. Since Meiko always has business trips to America she has taught me English over the years. Len, being a pretty rich boy, also knew the language but he was slow at times.

I was already on page four when Len turned around and asked me for help on number twenty from page three.

"Geez, it's 'the cat snuck out the window'. Don't you know anything?" I mumbled.

"Um, thanks." He said and turned around.

Twenty minutes later I was on the last page. I heard the rest mumbling how hard it was. One of the girls next to Len was barely on page four.

The annoyingest (new word in the Rin dictionary) jerk in the world turned around and flipped one of my pages in order for him to read it. I sighed as he turned back around in his seat and then moments later, repeated his actions.

About ten turns later, my patience meter had reached its limit.

"Why the hell do you keep on turning around to see my paper?" I growled in a low tone.

"'Cus you're the smartest one here."

I blinked rapidly, taking a while to register the compliment, "U-Umm thanks I guess... But that doesn't mean you have to copy my work!"

"I'm done." He showed me his work, "I just wanted to compare answers and luckily I did 'cus I got ten wrong...eleven."

He erased another sentence and wrote one down, "Geez, why are you so smart?"

"Simply because I'm not you." I muttered and he shot me a small glare.

One of the girls besides us tapped Len on the shoulder. I instinctively paid attention to the two for some odd reason...

"Len, do you have the answers to blah, blah, and blah?" She questioned.

Don't you dare-

"Sure!"

Stupid... Plainly stupid...

He leaned over and basically gave them all the answers. Could he not read the look of 'go die now' that was plainly splattered over my face? Or did I have to slap some sense into him? Those were my damn answers the jerk was giving them!

"Oh Len, you're so smart!"

"Heh, thanks."

I intensified my death glare on Len and I think the other girls noticed for they squeaked and turned around.

Len, being an idiot, turned around to face me and looked startled. Heh, I guess he finally saw how evilly I was staring at him.

"Rin? What's up? You look kinda pissed..."

"No way, really?" I asked, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

The bell rang and everyone rushed out of there like if the room was on fire. Len carried my books and helped me up. I mumbled thanks (it was getting easier) and we walked side by side down the halls. Girls and guys alike mumbled as we passed by... And it was irritating the oranges out of me.

"Is that his new girlfriend?"

"Nah, he wouldn't break up with Miku for that one."

Oh so I'm a that one now. I am honored. Truly, I am... So honored I could cry. Well, now I have another reason I must add to my "Why I hate Len Kagamine" mental list.

The rest of the day passed by quickly and soon it was lunchtime. After meeting with Kaito I hoped that Len would shoo away but noooo, apparently he was going to eat with us as well.

Kaito gave me a look that said "why the holy ice-cream is this guy tagging along?"

I sighed and answered with a look that replied, "How am I supposed to know?"

We went to our usual spot and sat down.

"You guys eat here?" Len asked while looking around.

"Yes we do. You're welcome to leave if you want. Kaito can take care of me."

My best friend nodded almost pleading out loud for him to leave.

"Well I should go tell Miku..."

Gah... He should stop naming the she-devil or it might summon-

"Len~!"

See? What I tell ya...

"M-Miku... Hey..." Len said nervously, caught totally off guard.

"LenLen what are you doing here? We always eat together~!" The teal nuisance whined.

I don't know which is worse, leek freak or her nickname for Len. I mean come on, LenLen? Why not just say Len Times Two? It sounds way more sophisticated.

"Sorry Miku but I'm gonna eat here with Rin and Kaito today. We all have the same class so it'll be easier to take Rin there if I stay with her."

Miku scowled and pointed at Kaito, "Let that one take her!"

Oh so Kaito is a that one too, now? Yay, we could form a club.

"His name is Kaito," Len said in a serious tone and then looked at Miku with a set gaze, "and I promised Meiko I would be the one to take care of her neice, not Kaito."

The leek freak slightly flinched. I was kinda surprised too. Len was always being a fluffy, bubbly, annoying as hell guy that I never thought he had a serious side to him... I felt my cheeks slightly heat up and I turned away so Kaito wouldn't see me. Not that I had any reason to hide because I was totally not blushing.

"Fine then!" Miku pouted and plopped down next to Len, "I'm eating here too!"

My body turned rigid and I began to choke on air.

Kaito sighed and patted me on the back, "There there Rin."

I peeled an orange and Kaito ate his icecream. Soon, we got into a fight about which was better while Len looked on and Miku gave us a disapproving scowl.

"Oranges!"

"Ice-cream!"

"LenLen, do you really want to stay here~?"

Len was munching on a banana while observing Kaito and I, "Of course, this is fun."

Miku gave a silent frustrated groan and I laughed out loud. She glared at me and I stuck my tongue out at her even when Len was looking. He already knew how much I hated her so he better put up with it.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Next period will be so delightful... Kaito will be there... Len will be there... Miku will be there...

Lovely.


Len's P.O.V

We walked all together to class... Which, might I add, was extremely uncomfortable. How? I'll tell you...

My girlfriend Miku, whom I'm attracted to but do not love, is clinging to my arm and smothering me with "love." It's slightly suffocating.

I'm trying to talk to Rin, whom I am attracted to as well (as friends), but she is coldly cutting me off and chatting with Kaito. What does he have that I don't have? Well, according to Miku, I am way better than him... Why won't Rin pay attention to meeeeee~?

We entered the classroom and sat down in our seats. Miku sat on my left, Rin on my right, and Kaito sat to her right.

The teacher entered the classroom and greeted us. "Since the end of the unit is coming up, I am assigning a project!"

There is always that one girl/guy who raises their hand to ask pointless questions that would've been answered anyway because it makes them feel smart... Well in this case it was a girl. "Will the assignment be an individual or group project?"

"It will be a project done in pairs."

"Will we pick our own pair?"

It would be awesome if we could. I wish I could work with Rin but, as the good boyfriend I am, I need to pair up with Miku.

"No."

"Then?"

"I have already decided the pairs."

Oh great. She handed out a piece of paper to Miku that would be passed around and contained the pairs.

Miku's face paled.

Huh? It can't be THAT bad… Can it?


Miku's P.O.V

The teacher handed me the sheet. I'll probably be paired up with Len...

My eyes scanned the sheet for our names...

What...? WHAT? I-I'm paired with K-Kaito Shion? That blue-haired ice-cream freak who's Rin's friend?

And Rin... Rin is paired with...! I can't let this happen! No! I must do something!


Rin's P.O.V

Pwahahaha! Miku's face is funny. It's like she's trying not to yell out loud. I wonder who she got paired up with in order to make that face... Heh, maybe it was Goru, the fat, lazy, loser in the back. Len got the paper and a smile spread across his face while he read it. He smirked as he passed the paper to me and lifted his eyebrows deviously.

What did that mean? I didn't care. As long as I was paired with Kaito, everything was fine.

I snatched the paper from his hands and looked for my name... Let's see, I am paired with...

My eyelid twitched as I read the name next to mine...

Len Kagamine.

"NOOOO!"

Everyone in the class turned to see me and I blushed violently as I realized I had spoken out loud.

"Is there a problem, Miss Kagamine?"

"I'm paired with Len."

I swear you could physically hear more than a dozen dream bubbles popping in the room... Woops.

"So? Is that a problem?"

"Yes! I wanted to be with this one!" I said and grabbed Kaito's sleeve. Well if he is a "this one" then might as well use the term, no?

"And I wanted to be with Len!" Miku whined and clung to her boyfriend.

"I'm fine with the decision." Len put in.

"SHUT UP!" We said in unison. And by we, I mean leek freak and I.

Kaito was the only one who simply sat there, peacefully, like the straight A's student he was. Did he not see the seriousness of this? I mean, did he WANT to be paired with leek freak?

"I'm sorry, the decisions have been made and no changes can be arranged."

I sank back into my seat muttering "nononono" a million times.

We had two weeks to work on the project... Two weeks with even more Len time. And what's worse... Kaito won't be able to intervene for he'll be with leek freak...

Someone kill me now.
