OMG PLEASE FORGIVE ME I'M SO AWFULLY SORRY! I really never meant to not update for so long, but I don't know I just prcastinated like a big old meanie and left you all out to dry. I'm sorry that this chapter is a little short and kinda off topic, but I wanted to write something for Valentine's Day (even though I'm forever alone) and I wanted to make sure I got it in intime. I swear though I will not, no update for so long ever again. Swear on my life. So anyway, enjoy!

Memories

I felt myself coming back into consciousness, but I kinda wanted to sleep for a little longer. It's not really that I was tired, but I was just so damn comfortable I didn't want to move and waking up would require moving. That didn't sound like such a great thing to me and I was determined to let myself enjoy this comfort.

"Rin, come on you need to get up. You've been asleep long enough," a voice that sounded familiar gently spoke.

"No; I'm comfortable and therefore will remain asleep," I mumbled. My eyes were threatening to open because a light was shining on them, but I forced them to stay closed, my face scrunching up a little because of that.

"You really should wake up now. You're friend keeps calling and obviously I'm not going to answer the phone," the voice spoke again.

I couldn't tell if he was just baiting me or if Teto actually was spamming me. The latter seemed likely enough considering she was such a big worry-wart. I pushed myself up and gazed around to see that I was back in my living room. When I looked to my left I saw that Len was sitting there…with a pillow on his lap. Which could mean only one thing… "Why was my head on your lap?" I asked in the deadly quiet tone. It was the tone I used to indicate I was beyond pissed and I was most certainly past that.

Len blinked at me once, an expression of blankness on his face. "I put a pillow on my lap first." As if that would save him.

"I really would appreciate if you would stop making moves on me all the time!" I shouted. I guess yelling at people really does take a toll on you since the next thing I knew my stomach made known the fact that it was an empty cavern and needed to be fed. "I'm going to make some lunch; if you want anything…make it yourself." I wasn't sure what sounded good, but thankfully the house actually stays pretty stocked with all kinds of tasty treats, so finding something shouldn't be too hard to find. "So what time and day is it?"

"Why are you asking what day?" Len sounded genuinely confused even though the question makes perfect sense.

Letting out a breath that sounded more like a dragon breathing fire than anything, I slowly stated, "I'm asking what day it is because for all I know it could be tomorrow or a week from now, so would you care to answer my questions?"

"It's still the same day as it was when you went to sleep, but now it's three in the afternoon," Len answered brushing off my hostility. He joined me in the kitchen, but instead of looking around for a meal for himself, he just sat at the bar and watched me thoughtfully, his eyes never leaving me for even a split second.

I was starting to become very conscious of this and I couldn't help but squirm around a little even while I was standing still. It just felt kinda creepy and weird to have some guy staring at me like he was analyzing me or something. After a few more minutes of this, I asked (with my head in the fridge), "Is there something I can help you with?"

Something (I assume his knee or elbow) smacked the current and he swore softly. "Sorry; I wasn't staring at you, honest. I was just kinda spacing out and I guess…my eyes happened to follow you?"

As much as I hated to admit it I had to suppress a giggle at his weird excuse. "Um, if you're trying to cover yourself, you might want to consider thinking of something more unbelievable and not sounding so unsure about it."

"And why do you think I was staring at you?"

"Maybe because you're a creeper?"

"How about, no. I'm not a creepy pervert; never was and never will be."

I turned around to face him with an eyebrow raised. Spinning the rest of my body around, I placed my hands on my hips and said, "All right then; prove you're not a creepy pervert. If you can prove it to me this one time I will never call you one again."

Len smiled a puppy dog smile (and might I add it was absolutely adorable) and perked up. "If I was a creeper I would've raped you by now!"

My eyes blinked once. Twice. "…um, that's rather straight forward. But, I guess it proves you're point…" Okay, weirdest answer ever. It did make sense though.

"So does that mean I win?"

"Yeah it looks like you actually did prove yourself." I turned back around to refocus on my hunt. There was nothing in the house that sounded appealing, but I was determined to find something even if it took me the rest of my life.

"Hey Rin, I think I know something that you might want." Len piped up. His voice sounded like it was coming from a different spot. He probably just got bored of sitting there.

Not bothering to remove my head from the cold world known as the fridge I asked, "Oh yeah? And what is it that you think I would want?" Frowning at the not appealing contents, I pulled my head back out with a sigh. Damn, for once there's nothing in this house to eat. I turned around to come face to face with Len. Our faces were less than an inch apart and he had his hands on either side of me, keeping me pressed up against the fridge. My face heated up and I knew he could feel my nervous breath on his face. I wanted to tell him to get away from me, but I couldn't. It was like when he had first kissed me; something was refusing to let me shoo him away.

Smirking at me Len held my gaze and whispered, "Looks like I do know you well enough to guess what you want." He pressed his lips gently against mine without taking his arms down and moving a stop forward or back.

At first I could only stand there in utter shock, but after a couple seconds, I kissed him back. Fireworks went off my head drowning out anything, but the feel of his lips against mine. Hesitantly I wrapped my arms around his neck and that in turn made him wrap his arms around my waist, closing the tiny distance between us. I let out a small gasp when I felt his tongue flick against my lip. Every sensible part of me was screaming that I should stop the kiss and walk away, but the irrational part was calmly (oddly enough) to just let this happen and that it was the right thing to do. Decision made I parted my lips and at first he was too taken aback to continue on with his mission. When his tongue did enter my mouth the odd tingling sensation in my stomach grew about three times stronger. Of course he won the fight between our tongues and he took over with complete confidence like we had done this a thousand times before and he knew exactly what to do. Well, since his story has been true so far, we probably have done this about a thousand times. Len's hand slid up under the back of my shirt and he let his fingers trail up and down my bareback sending shivers throughout my thin frame. His other arm had moved down to hug me around the hips so that he wouldn't run into his arm with his hand.

Len broke the kiss, but kept moving his hand up and down my back, never pressing harder or lighter and never breaking rhythm. Leaning his forehead against mine, he whispered slightly out of breath, "Rin, I love you. I love you so damn much and I'm sorry that I just moved on you without your consent. I'm so sorry."

A soft smile light up my face and I assured, "Everything else in your story has added up and that memory I got of first meeting you left me with the beginnings of the crush I had when I met you. It's okay." I removed my arms from around his neck and hugged him instead, leaning my head against his shirt.

Len never broke his rhythm; just held me tighter with the arm that was hugging my hips.

So um yeah like I said kinda derailed, but this could just be like a filler chapter. And i'm kinda stumped on ideas, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'll give you full credit for the idea. I do have ideas, but not many and they're more for like the end of the story, but I don't want to finish this so soon. So rate and review and happy Valentine's day! and remember, all us single people rule, cause we can flirt and not have to worry about jealous signifigant others and we can pick and choose a nice person to be with ;)
