I was furious. We, Len and I, just held a party with other Vocaloids. It was just a group of around thirty or so people. Nobody got drunk, not even Meiko. We didn't trash or destroy anyone's property in a mile radius, as some may be expecting. We just had some fun with karaoke after some pillow fights; okay, maybe we roughhoused a little, but we were just having fun! You know, stretch out our limbs and play to our heart's content! But SOMEHOW we were heard by some snide gasbag neighbor and their gasbag friends that just moved in.
Like, you would think they were just some normal, senile, cranky old people but they weren't. They were CRAZY senile cranky old people. Long story short, they heard us 'raving' and 'partying too hard' so they called the police. Okay, so thirty people in the same roof can be pretty loud, but we were pretty far from other houses, these neighbors were at least a quarter mile away, so... I bet they were just that bitter about us.
We tried to convince then not to, but they had hearts of stone. Not even Oliver, the cutest twelve year old British boy, or Ryuto and Yuki, the most innocent little elementary students in the world. Nope, all we did was prevent them from calling the president. Master managed to negotiate us out of legal trouble, but he wanted to keep things quiet for a few days to placate the snooty neighbors. So, pretty much everyone was on lockdown. Grounded, really.
Most were allowed to leave, but some were stuck rooming with the Crypton house. Miku, Len, Meiko, Kaito, and Luka shared their rooms with one or two other people. I was the only one who had a room to themselves for the week. Why? Nobody wanted to deal with me. Not when I was angry. It was the first day of lockdown, but I was still fuming, not to mention restless. Like, if I was given too much caffeine and sugar, but strapped down to a table, while being pinched or poked to make me angry.
I was used to running about, in the backyard where my toes could touch the grass, the wind in my face... I paced around in circles, trying to replicate the feeling, but the neither the carpet nor wooden floor felt like grass, and the air began to feel stagnant since I haven't opened my window. If I did, I would purposely scream so loudly to deafen those stupid jerk neighbors.
Just thinking of those $$hats made my blood boil. I wanted so badly to punch their faces. I wanted my fist to knock their long noses straight into their skull. I wanted my roadroller to flatten their houses. I wanted to write on their cars with permanent marker, kick their butts off the planet... I couldn't do any of those things though, so I settled for stomping into my closet and grabbing the sturdiest pillow I could find.
I was thinking of Master's collected face, but I knew that such a cool mask created so many worried wrinkles and creases on his face. I thought of poor Yuki-chan, sniffling while Ryuto-kun hugged her. Are we in big trouble? they would ask, while pale faced Kiyoteru-san weakly comforted them. Luka, Meiko, Kaito... All of them, plus some other adults, were all sitting together, somber. Len was with me, putting a hand to my shoulder as I shook with pure disbelief. Without him, calmness was a foreign word.
"Screw you. Screw you! SCREW! YOU!" I screamed, kicking and punching at the pillow. Yeah, I was throwing a tantrum in my closer. Deal with it. My blows were sponged by the pillow, which somewhat alleviated my pain. At least I wouldn't feel guilty if I ruined it and its contents spilled out. But I did something even worse. I missed the pillow completely, my fist going through the wall. It crumpled easily, like it was just paper. There was a gap; a completely hollow space in the wall.
"No... No way..." I murmured, shocked. My rage seemed to vanish at that instant, replaced by intense curiosity. The fake wall was thick enough to not give if I just pressed lightly, but too flimsy to withstand one of my enraged punches. I carefully tore away more of the styrofoam stuff until there was a hole wide enough for two of me, but too short for me to stand. I had to crouch down a bit, until I was almost to the point of walking on all fours. Was I going to Len's room? His room was adjacent to mine...
"Blimey..." Someone said, in English. Oh gosh, that was Oliver, wondering in that light accent of his. He quickly switched to Japanese. "Did- Did she just punch the wall?" So, I WAS near Len's room!
"Should we check on her?" That was Piko, the kuudere with the USB tail cord. I crept as quietly as I could, but in the end, I knew I would just scare them out of their wits. It's not every day someone pops out of your closet from a secret passage after being violent enough to punch walls. I heard Len sigh, and I imagined a frustrated hand running through his hair. I knew he would think something like, yes, please, we need to. Please give me an excuse to.
"No, we shouldn't," he finally said heavily, "Master won't be happy, especially since those jerks are prowling around. There's a reason why we're holed up. The police were here, and they still are. Plus, Rin's too angry. There's a chance I might make her angrier..."
What? Make me angrier? When did that ever happen? I thought, cocking my head in confusion. Yeah, my direct counterpart, the one I spent all my time with, the one I was dating, the sole person I need in my life, would make me angrier, when in fact it was the opposite. Ugh, that was cheesier than a cheese shop, but it was all true. Len, you're supposed to be the smart one, but you're being really dumb right now... "What do you mean by that?" I asked loudly, feeling mischievous. I stifled my giggles as I heard a thud, like someone fell off a chair.
"R-Rin?!" They all cried at once. Aww, the widdle boys were scared. Someone opened Len's closet, which was clean and orderly. Of course, the styrofoam fake wall was still intact. "There's nothing in your closet, Len-kun..." Oliver murmured. "I heard her from here, though!"
"We all did, Oliver-kun..." The white haired kuudere followed up quietly. I had to bite my tongue to prevent any noises from coming out of my mouth. They were just too clueless!
I stuck my nail into the false wall, so a little crescent indent was gouged into it. I wasn't even bothering to hide my laughter as they completely freaked out. I then just drew back my fist and quietly tried to punch a larger hole. Well, it's not like quietly can usually describe punch, so it was a bit loud. "Hi guys~!" I sang, poking my head out. I just got wide eyes and blank expressions. I expected them to faint, but they seemed to calm down.
"Rin-chan..." Piko-kun and Oliver-kun whispered. Len said nothing, tearing away the rest of the paper so I could finally come out. I stood and instinctively gave him a hug, which made him tense up. He grumbled and blushed like the little tsundere he was. Oliver tried to be polite by covering his giggles with his mouth (without success) while Piko openly snickered. "You gave us a heart attack-"
"Oh well. So what? You guys are just scaredy-cats." I shrugged off his biting glare. "Besides, there's a secret passageway connecting our rooms! Isn't that great?" I bubbled, too excited for words. I didn't know where it came from, but suddenly my body was just full of it. I kissed Len on the nose, not even bothered by the fact the other boys were watching.
"Ah, you guys are too cute, it makes my heart twist in seeing you. Len, mate, it's so blatantly obvious that she loves seeing you. You too would go mad if you were separated for more than a fortnight, or probably even shorter. You're practically made for each other, Len's just too stubborn to admit it. Give me a ring* when you get finally married." Oliver-kun said, completely in English. He had a mildly satisfied look while he beamed radiantly.
Meanwhile, we looked at him with blank faces. Piko summed it up rather well with a quiet "We can't understand you when you speak in English like that."
"It's best you didn't." He continued in his native language, before switching over to Japanese. "Don't worry about it. Now, kiss!" Oliver seemed too happy to mess with us in English, giggling uncontrollably.
"What's so funny? Tell me what you just said!" I demanded, before picking him up. He squealed, instinctively spouting out English. He flailed around, until I deposited him onto his back on the bed.
"What are you doing? W-Wait, I mean, matte!"
"Tickle tickle!" I chimed, tickling the little sailor all over. We then ganged up on him, causing helplessly adorable noises to spill from his mouth. He basically dissolved into giggles under our hands, while Piko's tail tickled his ears and chin. "What did you say to Len? Tell us~!"
Between bouts of laughter, ticklish little Oliver spilled everything. "You guys are too cute together! You can't spend an hour away from each other without going crazy! And that you guys should just get married!" We tickled him for a few more seconds before letting up.
I laughed and turned to Len, deciding to be bold. Despite the embarrassment on my part, flustering Len was worth it. "I guess Oliver-kun's right, we should get married." I said, flashing a flirty look. He immediately turned red.
"Rin, you're only fourteen! We're both only fourteen!" He cried in protest, but I just grabbed his tie and pulled him into a kiss. Oliver's cheeks were pink from the tickling and from watching us. Piko put his USB tail in front of his wide, liquid amber eyes, while rolling his own. Whatever, like I cared about the sarcastic thoughts that were no doubt circling the kuudere's mind.
Please tell me someone else ships LenxPikoxOliver. I'm pretty flexible and accepting of most ships, but even I thought it was ridiculous (but delicious uhh). I love RinxLen but LPO is cute too. I mean, Len is the tsundere, Piko is the kuudere, and Oliver is the dandere. (I don't really like yandere characters, sorry).
