"Psychotic, I'm insane, – I think I've lost my mind…
I'm so far gone, I – could drift far away from myself – and never return.
It hurts, it hurts so much, – my heart's in agony…
It's ludicrous, right? – And I love you so much, I – could love you straight to death…
I'm scaring myself… "
-Len's Psychotic Love Song: Len Kagamine.
The next several weeks flew by. fall starting to turn into winter. When the first snow of the season fell, I was quite pleased. I liked playing in the snow during the day, and during the night I would sit on thew window sill and drink hot chocolate while watch it fall.
I was sitting in class daydreaming about the wonderful snow outside when Sensei walked by and saw I wasn't paying attention. So he rolled up the magazine he confiscated from another student and hit me over the head. I let out a little yelp looking up at him and he said, "Maybe that will teach you to pay more attention in class, Miss. Hatsune." When he walked away I stuck my tongue out at his back and I heard Len in front of me chuckle. Once he assigned the class an assignment, he stepped out of the room for a moment. I tapped Len on the shoulder. He spun around and faced me.
"So Lenny, what's up? It's the snow just beautiful?" Len smiled at me and nodded. "So what are you and Rin doing for New Year's holidays. They are coming up you know."
Len glanced at Rin who was laughing happily with Gumi. Len looked back at me and shrugged his shoulders. "We don't have any family to spend it with. It's always been just Rin and me." Hurt filled my heart to hear him say that. No one should be alone during New Years. It's a time for celebration. It reminded me of the times when it was just Mikuo and me. We had nobody to share the holidays with either. But it made us so happy when a little old lady walked by us sleeping on the street one New Years and asked us to have dinner with her. So I looked Len in the eyes.
"How about you stay with Mikuo and me New Years eve and Day?" Len did a double take and looked at me in a curious and shocked fashion.
"No no. We couldn't do that! We would intrude on your activities."
I shook my head eagerly. "Nope. It's just me and my stupid brother. It would be nice to have you two there, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
Len looked over at Rin. I could see a look in his eyes that said he just wanted Rin to enjoy the holidays. That further convinced me that they should come.
Finally Len heaved a sigh and nodded. I squealed and leaned over and hugged him. "Oh yay! Lenny this year is going to be so much fun!"
I heard someone go "Ahem." I let go of Len and turned around to see Sensei standing there looking down at me. He had the rolled up magazine and was smacking it into his palm repeatedly. I let out a sigh. It was going to be a long day.
Soon after that, a few weeks went by and we were off a day for Christmas. I never really understood the holiday. *All I knew was that it was a time for couples to spend time with each other. Well since I was single, it was kind of a boring day. Until someone showed up at my door.
There was a knock at the door. "I'll get it." Mikuo said. Seconds later he called my name. I walked out to the entrance way and Kaito was there smiling at me.
"What is it nii-san?" I asked looking at him.
"Um, Kaito here is asking if you were busy."
I looked over to Kaito, his blue scarf coving some of his face. I shook my head, still confused. He smiled down at me. "Then how would you like to go out today?"
I felt my face heat up. I looked up at Mikuo and his eyes said everything but that he wanted to kill him. I giggled and smiled. "Sure."
Kaito smiled even more and took my hand. "That's great. Goodbye Mikuo-kun. We'll be back." Then he closed the door to a shocked and furious teal headed man.
As we were walking through town, Kaito hadn't let go of my hand. I felt my face heat up as I thought that, and apparently the heat went from my face to my hand because Kaito looked down at me and said, "Don't be embarrassed my dear."
I sighed and gripped his hand tighter. Wait, he just called me dear. Once again my face flushed and I heard Kaito give out a chuckle. I didn't think it was so funny but whatever.
He lead me into a small shop filled with toys and other useless items. "Why did you bring me here?" I asked, trying to hide how excited I really was.
"Oh come on, you know you love this stuff."
I stuck my nose in the air. "But I'm not a little kid."
He moved his face right next to mine and whispered in my ear."Yes you are. But you are a very cute one."
I jumped about a few feet back and stared at him. He just smiled with that goofy grin. "F-fine." I muttered leading him over to some stuffed animals. "But that makes you sound like a creep, Kaito."
He shrugged his shoulders. "So sue me."
Eventually we left the shop and Kaito had bought me a small blue bear. I picked it out, and I got it blue because... well... it reminded me of Kaito.
His voice broke the silence. "So what do you want to do now Princess?"
"Princess?" I repeated. He nodded at me. I rolled my eyes and shrugged my shoulders, acting like it was a bother. I didn't think it was and he knew this. "Um, well I guess we could go eat some ice cream."
Kaito's eyes lit up and it looked like he was going to attack me on the spot. But he held back and instead squeezed my hand and led me down the crowded sidewalk.
The ice cream stand he led me to was relativity small, but a lot of people were crowded around. He took tighter hold of my hand and said, "I don't want us to get separated." My face heated up again as he led me through the crowd. Once we got to the stand I ordered leek and he ordered original vanilla.
We let go of each other's hands as we sat on the small brown bench so we could eat our ice cream. As I was eating, I glanced around at all the couples doing the same thing we were doing. I looked up at Kaito who was devouring his ice cream, but he took a moment to look down at me and smile. I blushed and quickly looked away.
I took the last bite of my cone and threw the napkin away. Kaito finished shortly after me. We sat there in silence, watching the people walk by. The wind picked up and I gave off a shudder, wishing I had brought a thicker jacket. I felt an arm snake it's way around my waist and pull me into it's chest. I looked up and Kaito smiled down at me. "I'm sorry your so cold. I'll warm you up." My face blushed a thousand different shades of red as I was laying against his warm chest. I didn't know what to do but rest my head. Soon I felt very warm and he smiled at me standing up. "Come Princess. There is a lot to see." He bent down on one knee like he was a knight and extended his hand. I giggled and happily took it. He smiled at me, and I smiled back.
So this isn't the whole date obviously, but I've got to go somewhere and this was all I could manage before.
I like this chapter.
Sorry I haven't updated in a little while. I meant to do it a few days ago and started, but I didn't like the way it turned out, so I started from scratch.
*In Japan, Christmas isn't celebrated like it is here. Christmas is a time to spend with your boyfriend our girlfriend. The real family event is New Years and is taken very seriously like us Americans do Christmas.
Also, I live in Alabama and it was hounded with horrible tornadoes Wednesday morning and night. Thankfully my town wasn't hit, but many places were. The tornado was over a mile wide and killed over 100 people. It started in Mississippi, on the ground, and went through Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, on the ground, and didn't disappear until it went to Rome, Georgia. Many people were killed or no longer have anything. No home no food no water. So please pray for those poor unfortunate people. Thank you.
