Hello again~ I was originally going to start with Piko's POV, but I decided that reading a few hundred word long description of his heart breaking doesn't exactly sound alluring. Also, I'm really sorry for taking forever to update.
(Len Kagamine's POV)
Lying, one of the things he hated most. He'd always been told he couldn't lie to save his life by his twin sister Rin, who could see right through him. Maybe that was just because it was Rin, but Piko didn't seem to notice the painfully apparent lie in his tainted words. Or maybe he did, but didn't care. What was the pain in his chest? With the softest sigh escaping his slightly parted lips, he shook it off as some odd glitch in the system.
"Did the kiss mean something to you, Piko?"
Piko quickly looked up to meet his gaze and shook his head, attempting and failing to deny it. The blood rushing to his cheeks giving him a ridiculously cute blush told a different story. Len couldn't help the smile that tugged his lips upwards as Piko noticed it and covered his cheeks with two pale hands, then resumed shaking his head.
"O-of course it d-didn't!" Piko stuttered, unwillingly increasing his cuteness as he stopped shaking his head, allowing his silver hair to fall back to the sides of his face. Except for the random 'p' shaped curl. "W-why are you looking at me like that?"
Again, Len found himself staring and snapped out of it, averting the kind blue-green ovals he had for hues away from the older boy's overly cute face. The clever aversion was unsuccessful, however, as he couldn't stop himself from looking back. "... No reason, no reason at all." He replied with a nod, making his hair fall to his face again, due to the loss of his ponytail holder. A frustrated sigh was heard as the boy brushed the hair out of his face and held it like that for a few moments before allowing it to fall again upon realizing it was hopeless. "Why did you lie when I asked you if it meant anything to you?"
At those words, Piko's eyes widened and the blush he had been trying desperately to get rid of darkened in the slightest. "Wh-what do you mean? I wasn't l-lying!" He exclaimed in defense. Why is he so cute?
"I happen to know you were lying, because, you see, I'm simply one hell of a lie detector~" Len claimed, striking a ridiculous pose with his hands on his hips and his chest puffed out.
Staring blankly at the younger boy, Piko finally replied with, "Did you just quote Sebastian Michaelis?"
"... Maybe," Len was at a loss for words after being found out, but quickly put himself back on track. "Hey! Don't change the subject!"
Piko smiled a soft, but small smile that made Len's heart flutter. "Why do you care if it meant something to me or not?" He asked, the slightest hint of confidence hidden in his gentle voice.
Len opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't get himself to say anything. Once again at a loss for words, he decided it would be best if he just didn't reply to it and instead changed the subject. "Let's go before Miku catches up!"
To their luck, they were eventually reunited with Rin, who had been hiding with a few others who witnessed Miku's terrifying phase. Luka seemed unaffected by it and sat quietly on the floor in the corner, her eyes locked on the words splayed across the pages of the book in her hands. Gumi was fighting with an overly energized Teto about whether or not they should give Miku a leek to calm her down. And Rin was watching the two with a grin on her face before she noticed the two boys.
"Piko! Len!" Rin gasped, taking a moment to look the silver-haired boy up and down before glomping him, making him fall over with a yelp.
"Rin, don't kill him!" Len squeaked. Thankfully, Rin listened to her older brother with a sigh and got off the wide-eyed Piko.
Len shook his head and held out a slender hand to Piko to help him up, a hand that Piko took without hesitation. After he was back into a standing position, he dusted off his clothes and silently thanked the younger boy for calling off his sister.
"Aren't you guys a cute couple?" Teased Rin with a wink as she placed her hands on her hips.
"We're not a couple!" Piko shouted in objection.
Surprise an easily seen emotion on the younger boy's face, he looked Piko's direction for a moment before averting his eyes to the floor. Does he really hate me that much? He'd never seen Piko like that, so it was really the only thing that made sense. But for some reason, it... Hurt?
"Looks like I found you~!" Chimed an eerie voice that earned the attention of Rin, Len, Piko, Teto, Gumi, and even Luka, who was halfway through one of her beloved Supernatural books. To their terror, it was none other than Miku Hatsune, who had just recently gone completely insane. A dark grin had taken over her usually kind smile that only scared them further. "Now, wasn't there something you were going to tell me, little Len?" She asked, slightly tilting her head to the side.
Rin and Len exchanged looks, and Rin mouthed 'sorry' while Len shook his head, telling her not to do what she was about to do. "Len likes-"
"Miku, you're scaring the children." Luka interrupted. She then took slow steps to the teal haired girl and gave her a leek, a sight that made Miku's blue hues light up as she quickly took it from the older girl's hands and began nibbling on it, all traces of evil dissolved like sugar in water. Everyone's jaw dropped as Luka simply went back to reading her book and ignoring the world.
Upon randomly feeling a poking at his side, Len looked at the older boy and gave him a questioning look. "You like someone..? Who is it?" Piko asked softly.
The blonde did his best to hold back the blush threatening to spread across his cheeks, but didn't succeed as he felt them heat up. "It doesn't matter, he'll never like me back." Came his reply in a hushed voice laced with a certain sadness.
"I know how you feel.." Piko murmured.
So I really don't have a chance with him...
Rin must have sensed her brother's sadness and attempted to cheer him up by suggesting, "Let's play truth or dare!" Which didn't help in the slightest. In fact, it made him more afraid of her, if anything.
"I'm in!" Miku smiled brightly and nudged at her girlfriend's shoulder, bringing her back into reality. Luka simply nodded in response then went back to reading her book.
"I want toooooo!" Teto raised her left hand, since her right hand was busy keeping her beloved bread from falling to the floor.
"Fine," Gumi grumbled as she crossed her slender arms over her chest.
"Alright.." Len agreed. He smiled and poked Piko's shoulder in a teasing, not flirtatious way.
In response to the poke, Piko nodded. "Well, I suppose if Len wants to, then I will, too..."
"Great!" Rin smiled her happiest and placed her unoccupied hands on her hips. "Teto, truth or dare?"
Teto's near-red magenta hues went from focused on the beauty of her bread to the face of Rin Kagamine as her name was heard. She looked up for a moment, as if in thought. "Aha!" She looked back to Rin and smiled as well. "Dare!"
"Give your bread to Piko." The happy smile on Rin's lips was quickly replaced with a devious smirk, her words spoken without the slightest hesitation. In that moment, Piko seemed to become more pale than he already was and everyone looked to see Teto's sweet and kind facial features turn evil.
"W-why me?" Piko looked to Rin, who had basically just told Teto to kill him.
With great reluctance, the girl walked over to the terrified boy, her pink drills swaying while she did so. A fake smile was plastered onto her features as she held out the bread to Piko with slightly shaky hands. Of course, Piko took the bread with the same reluctance and gave Len a distressed look.
Len gently patted the boy on the shoulder in an attempt to calm him down, but it had no effect, and he shot a glare Rin's way.
Rin deflected it with another smile and pointed to Luka. "Luka!" All eyes were suddenly on Luka (except for Teto's, since she was staring at Piko with an intense hatred) as her name was called, and Luka looked up from her book to make eye contact with Rin. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth, I suppose.."
"It is true that you love Miku with all your heart?" Rin asked, earning everyone's gaze. That was a pretty lame question, for my sister.."Of course."
Miku squealed and wrapped her arms around Luka in a tight hug, smiling brightly. Even if she had heard that multiple times, she seemed to love it every time her girlfriend admitted it. If only me and Piko were like that...
"Len!" Rin called, pointing to her brother. "Truth or dare?" Her voice was teasing and made Len wish he hadn't agreed to the game.
"Dare," Len replied, almost afraid of the word he had just uttered. He knew it was probably going to be something involving Piko, but perhaps that wasn't exactly a bad thing..
"I dare to you sing Magnet with Piko." Why that?!
Piko understandably blushed deep red and covered his face with his hands while Len just sort of stared at his sister with wide eyes. "Now? In front of everyone?"
Rin replied by nodding.
"Okay." Len looked to the older boy and smiled kindly, trying to hide the blush that continually threatened to show itself.
Well, yay for my longest chapter so far! Also, happy new year!
Review, please~
