It's been long since I updated omg ;-;
But I am currently in the process of developing a new, humorous/romantic love story of LenxMiku so bear with me you guys (lol I don't even have fans).
Hopefully I will be able to post a chapter of that LenxMiku production soon, and I'll continue this story. So keep an eye out for the new story chapter, but I'm only going to probably post that one chapter of the new story just so I can focus on this story more and finish it so XD
O, don't forget the poll I put up. It's on the very top of my profile so yeah.
But have another chapter here you go~
Chapter 7
Both Rin and Miku fell asleep on the floor, both too tried and sleepy to crawl to Rin's bed. They had leaned against a wall, spoken a bit, and eventually Miku began to nod off, and passed out. Her head had leant against Rin's soft shoulder, and right after, Rin had passed out, her head leaning on top of Miku's.
Rin is the first to wake up, light bags under her eyes from tiredness, feeling a bit groggy. Her short blonde hair limp against her forehead, she licks her lips and blinks her eyes a few times, her blue eyes adjusting to the bright morning light shining through her window, lighting up a spot on her carpet. She groans as she begins to turn her head, wondering why she's not in her bed but on the floor, until she feels a soft, hard surface on her shoulder and cheek, and she glances down, her frown instantly replaced with a grin. She gently shifts her shoulder, and takes Miku's head in her two hands, and she smoothly places Miku's head onto her lap, stroking her teal hair softly, combing her fingers through the soft, long locks. Aroused by the comforting motion, Miku mumbles something, and her eyes begin to flutter open, stimulating Rin's cheeks to turn red as she stares as Miku's long eyelashes, yearning to reach out and gently stroke the back of her hand against them.
"Rin chan…?" Miku asks sleepily, tears at the corners of her eyes from yawning. She reaches up and wipes a tear from her eye, and before she can wipe the other, Rin sweeps her hand down and gently wipes the tear from Miku's eye, then wishing she could have kissed it away instead.
"Miku." Rin answers in a sing song, gentle voice, smiling brightly at Miku, "Good morning."
Smiling back and yawning again, Miku sits up slowly with the aid of Rin's hand on her back, and she leans forward, rubbing her eyes again, "Do you know what time it is?" She asks, moving her teal bangs out of her eyes.
Rin glances at her alarm clock, squinting at the red, digital letters, "It's about a quarter past eleven. We are the first ones awake though, so don't worry."
Stretching, Miku asks, "How do you know?"
Staring at Miku and her luscious body in such a beautiful position, Rin can't tear her eyes away, simply answering in a nonchalant voice, "I don't hear Kaito and Meiko arguing, I don't hear Luka's hair dryer, and I don't hear Len's music player. Usually they would be up at this time, but…" Rin shrugs, offering Miku a half smile, "Maybe they've stayed up later than us perhaps?"
Slowly standing up and swinging her arms, Miku answers with a small tilt in her head, "Perhaps. Luka nee and I…" Realizing she's about to let loose a small secret, she shifts the direction of her sentence quickly, "Luka nee came to pick me up from Dell kun's house," She giggles halfheartedly, "I couldn't stand the smoke any longer."
Raising an eyebrow and standing, Rin replies, "You didn't smoke, did you Miku?"
Laughing genuinely this time, Miku answers with a sparkle in her eyes, "Of course not! I only said that to startle you and Len a bit."
Pausing a bit, Rin repeats in her head what Miku had just said, and tilting her head, she questions, "Len?"
"Well, he was the one you were fighting with, hm?" Miku answers, poking Rin's arm lightly.
"Well, yeah, but…" Looking down at her rug, she continues, "You usually call him 'Len kun' though."
Rin looks up and notices Miku's face a bit paler, and thoughts begin to stir inside her clever mind. Before she can question Miku again though, Miku quickly answers, "Oh, I just think… I just think 'Len' has a better ring to it, yes?" Laughing rather uncomfortably, she hurriedly looks away and says, "But now that I'm back, I am hoping you two have at least arrived at a point where you two can tolerate each other?"
Still not allowing this to slide past, Rin slowly answers with a reluctant look, "Yeah… I suppose you can say that…" Before she queries Miku any further, she stops, and instead whispers, "Please don't leave me like that again, Miku. Don't. It was so miserable without you here to talk to, or laugh with, or…" Rin grabs Miku's hands and says, "Just don't. Okay?"
A bit startled at Rin's pleading face and tone, she answers gently, "Alright… I won't. But I just couldn't take it too much, you know? I needed to take a break a bit. Hopefully you understand that, Rin chan."
Nodding slowly, Rin swallows hard, swearing to herself that she won't allow anything to cause Miku to leave again, "I understand. I probably would have if I were you…" She suddenly hears the loud music of Len's music player starting up, and she says in a hushed voice, "I think it's best if you go to your room now, Miku. We can't have anything else knowing you slept with me last night, er, morning."
Confused, Miku tilts her head, bits of her long teal hair falling over her shoulder, "Why not? Isn't it okay to d-"
Quickly thinking of an excuse besides the fact that Luka will practically throw her out of the house if she sees, she decides to give Miku an alternate yet honest answer and says, "I want it to be as sort of… How do you say…" Rin winks playfully, "A secret between you and me, hm?"
Blushing lightly at Rin's wink, Miku scratches the back of her head and answers giggling a bit, "If you would like it like that, then it's fine. Truthfully, I suppose you could say it's the same for me too!"
Squeezing her hand lightly, Rin smiles and decides to plant a kiss on Miku's forehead, a small, lovely fire blazing through her slim body as she does so, "Will you promise me?" She lifts her pinky finger, her lips still pressed against Miku's forehead.
Hooking her own pink finger with Rin's, she shakes it lightly and laughs, "I promise."
And with that, before Rin can take her lips off Miku's forehead, Miku pulls her head away, smiles, presses her own, full lips against Rin's forehead, and kisses it just like Rin had.
Rin's heart nearly stops.
"I will see you downstairs, Rin chan!" Miku says softly, walking towards the door. She stops suddenly and her face lightens up, "Ah, I almost forgot! I have something to give to you at breakfast, okay?"
Rin smiles in answer, and Miku happily walks into her room, gently closing the door. As soon as she hears the click of Miku's bedroom door, Rin lets out a long, tired sigh, and plops onto her messy bed, taking note of her pillow across the room where she had thrown it. She eyes the two rings she had made for her and Miku, and she reaches out and grabs them from her wooden nightstand, smiling a bit as she toys with them.
"If I give Miku's ring to her …" Rin's eyes light up, "It'll look like… We're married."
Rin looks up and comes to face a picture on her wall, "Married." She repeats, her small smile transforming in a bigger one.
Then Rin starts laughing from joy and amusement, not bothering to shove her face into her bed or place a hand over her mouth to quiet it. She laughs freely, lying down against her bed.
"Me and Miku," She giggles, her face red from the thought and laughter, "Married."
Then all her laughter evaporates in the air light water under the sizzling sun, and she sighs, a sad smile replacing her merry one, her hand clutching the rings dropping onto her stomach.
"I can only wish."
When Len woke up, he felt a dry, stickiness on his face, and he immediately slapped a hand to his cheeks, feeling dried up tears and trails of them on his smooth face, his mouth pulling into a frown. At the touch of his face, his memory refreshes, and scenes of last night and early morning hit him like Rin shooting him her harsh insults, and he tenses up, his hands stiffening on his cheeks. He gives out a sharp exhale and his hands move to cover his face. He feels like a wimp for crying again, and his cheeks begin to flush from his own secret humiliation.
"…I can't stay in bed forever…" He mumbles to himself, his voice hoarse. He coughs a few times, and slowly sits up, his back aching, his head pounding. He blinks his tired azure eyes some more, and soon enough, he manages to pull himself out, his head feeling like it might explode at any moment.
Gritting his teeth, he walks his way painfully to the restroom, banging his head on the wall on accident due to his morning clumsiness. He curses in discomfort and slams his hand down on the faucet, squeaking it on and letting his right hand simply sit under the cold water, watching the water rush and rush and rush…
Soon enough, he snaps out of his daze, and he gives his head a little shake, his shoulder length blonde hair a bit messy. He glares up at the mirror, and yanks his hair into his usual ponytail, merely running his hand through it a few times and then tying it lazily. He can't bear to see his reflection any longer.
He smacks the light switch off, and punches the button on his music player like usual in the morning, knowing that it's much too loud for Rin's and Luka's tastes. Of course, he doesn't care much. It's his music anyway.
He yanks a random shirt onto his sculpted chest, not caring whether it's dirty or not. He pulls on dark shorts, and as he's finishing pulling them up, his foot slips on one of his socks, and he slips, slamming against the wall, causing a picture frame to fall with a thud onto his carpet floor. Instead of cursing and hanging it back up, he merely slides down the wall, a dead look in his eyes, drowning himself in his loud music.
"What the fuck is going on in there?"
He hears a banging on his door, a demanding voice. He knows it's his sister's, and he rolls his head to where it faces the door. Len groans when he hears her continue.
"Open the door," Rin growls, crossing her arms, "We have to talk."
Len continues to simply sit, his tired eyes nearly closing again, but he eventually pulls himself up, supporting himself against the wall, and releases a long sigh, reaching for the door knob.
"What do want, Rin?" Len mumbles, opening the door, "Are you here to insult me again?"
"No," Rin answers, rolling her eyes, "Let me in."
Len simply raises an eyebrow, annoyed, and replies in a firm yet slightly shaky voice, "No."
Expecting the specific answer, Rin looks her brother up and down, smirks, and then pushes past him, catching him off guard. Letting out a small yelp of surprise stumbling back a bit, as his strong sister shuts the door behind her, leaning against it with her palms pressing against the door.
Tucking a short lock of golden blonde hair, Rin can't help but allow a small smirk to slip onto her face, proud of her significant act she had just executed. Then, remembering the reason she had pushed her way into Len's room in the first place, she coughs loudly and then eyes her brother straight into his eyes, crossing her arms again.
But an ambiance of an uncomfortable feeling surrounds Len, instead of his usual aura of dignity, his willpower to fight back against his sister. But Len holds his gaze on his sister for only half a second, and he quickly shifts his eyes onto the floor, shoving his hands into his pocket. At this, Rin tilts her head slightly, furrowing her brows a bit.
"Hey," She grumbles, snapping her fingers to catch his attention again, "Why are you acting like such a sissy right now?"
Looking up again and shakily running a hand through his messy hair, Len breathes out, "I'm tired. Now just bitch at me right now before I actually wake up properly."
"Look at me in the eye, you little wimp." Rin growls, glaring at her brother.
Whimpering slightly inside his head, Len instead lets out a breath and shifts his weight onto one foot, lazily glancing at his sister with a bored look, "Go on. I don't have time for you." Len adds, trying to say his words in a cold demeanor.
"Neither do I, for you. But this isn't about me, so spare me some of your time that you usually waste anyway," Rin answers, keeping her icy eyes on him, "You must have time for Miku, don't you? Ha! Of course you do, I'm not even going to let you answer," Rin holds up a well-manicured hand before Len can say anything, continuing, "So what'd you do?"
His heart jumping slightly, Len says, "What?"
"What did you do to Miku?"
"I didn't do anything to her except pamper her like a queen." Len smoothly lies, a part of him disintegrating from guilt. He nervously glances at his window, trying his hardest to hide his anxiousness, but he nearly blurts out his sin he had committed last night to his sister, not wanting to continue thinking about it.
In a quiet yet stern voice to avoid any more conflict with the others, Rin says, "Don't give me bull shit, Len. I'm not going to let this pass until you tell me what the hell you did or said to Miku. And don't even try to deny-"
"RIN," Len finally shouts in an irritated voice, his face contorting into an expression of pain and slight anger, with a touch of stress, "Rin, just… Just…"
Extremely startled at her brother's scream, Rin jumps back a bit, stumbling backwards towards the door. Her elbow gently bumps against the white wood, and she says absolutely nothing, never having seen her brother this stressed, nervous, or weak before. Instead, she silently maintains her stern, strict expression, deciding to back off a bit, her soft side reminding her hateful part to lay off.
The sound of pots and pans banging in the kitchen and Kaito shrieking in fear fills the air.
"NO MEI CHAN, NO."
"KAITO, BE A MAN. PUT THE GODDAMN PAN INSIDE THE GODDAMN OVEN."
"NO."
"YES."
The twins look up at each other as they hear Kaito screaming and Meiko yelling, and they both can't help but offer each other tiny, amused smiles.
Then a mature, womanly voice makes the banging of metal stop, and they hear Luka interrupting the screaming, putting the house back to peace again. At least, for a little while.
I can be the source of destruction, Len hears Luka's voice in his head, his small grin dropping from his face, I will destroy if I have to, and I am most certainly able to.
Thinking of last morning again, Len's body tenses up, and he turns around, wanting Rin to exit his room, "Anyway, uh, I've got a headache, alright? I don't feel well, and… Just go, okay? Just go, Rin."
Rin's eyes narrowing again, she gently pushes, "But-"
"No."
"Len-"
"Rin, stop."
With the emphasis on "stop", with a tone of desperation and pain, Len turns around and surprisingly, Rin finds his face in a nearly broken expression. Not wanting to push things over the edge again after the Dell incident, she swallows hard, and nods curtly, looking uncomfortably away from her twin, "Fine, I get it. I get it."
The two don't say anything more, and Len simply stands, looking away as Rin exits his room, his body still tight. When his door closes, he lets out a long, relieved, and quiet breath and his headache pounds even harder. Harder than his heart when he is around Miku.
Miku.
He remembers that he will have to see her again today at breakfast, and remembers Luka's suggestion and basically, order to apologize. He bites the inside of his cheek, and a sharp tinge of fear shoots through him, anxiety and dread filling him, his mind thinking of things Miku might say to him.
"LEN KUN. HELP."
He hears his name being screamed, and smirks halfheartedly when he registers the voice belonging to Kaito, the ridiculous ice cream-loving virgin. Bracing himself, both physically and mentally, he heads for the door, and opens it…
And he bumps into a body, a body a bit shorter than him and lighter, his force of weight causing it to stumble backwards a bit. A bag of oranges falls onto the ground, and by reflex, his hand reaches out to grab it, his fingers pressing into soft, pert flesh of a girl's waist.
Girl's waist…
"Ah-" The soft, sweet voice lets out a cry of surprise, and the owner of the voice quickly grabs onto Len's arm rather hard, pulling him towards her a bit.
When they both look at each other's faces, his eyes widen, and her face falls.
They both continue to stand like that, his hand on her waist and she still looking him in the eyes, until Miku decides to gently pull away, making Len's hand slide off of her body.
Miku gulps inaudibly, and she allows a small, yet a bit forced smile onto her face and she sings in nearly a whisper, "Good morning, Len."
The unsureness in her voice almost shatters Len's heart completely, and he merely stands there, his hand still reached out, his eyes still a bit wide.
"U-uhm," Miku says, stepping back from Len and looking at the clock behind him, "I suppose I will see you down-"
And then Len hugs her.
Tensing up against his chest, Miku's eyes widen and her head flows with words of confusion as Len pushes her gently into a corner, embracing her. Miku starts to push him away, until she feels warm drop of tears against her neck, and her hands drop to her side, realizing that Len is crying.
"Miku," Len sobs, crying into her neck, "I-I'm sorry, I'm…" He tightens his hug, Miku still limp against him, "I can't even… I can't emphasize how sorry I am, I…" He sobs a bit more, Miku a bit awkwardly pulled into him, and he continues, "I am a disgusting, idiotic, worthless, stupid, stupid, stupid…"
"I am a disgusting sex-craving pig, and I'm stupid. I'm just stupid." Len cries, feeling the silkiness of Miku's teal hair against his forehead and fingers.
Miku's arms then lift up slowly, ever so very slowly…
And then they find their way up and up…
And finally, with a slight sense of hesitation, they place themselves upon Len's sturdy back, and her hands press against it. Still feeling the wetness of Len's tears and sobbing against her neck, Miku pulls Len softly close to her, and hugs him gently back, listening patiently to him.
"You can explain to me, Len," Miku tells him comfortingly, softly, "I'll listen. I'll be right here."
Nodding against her neck, his body a bit leaned forward to match Miku's height; he whispers hoarsely, "I was… I wanted… Miku," He says quietly, "I have a reputation that you have been exposed to. It's a disgusting one, so… So pathetic," He says, clutching Miku a bit tighter to make sure she won't leave, "And I hid this from you… And others… And I did all those things…"
"But… Why, Len? Why did you do those?" Miku whispers, aware of the cluttering of silverware against the table. Her gaze falls upon Len's messy, blonde ponytail, nearly out of its holder. Her fingers want to reach out and redo his hairstyle for him, but she resists, telling herself to be mature and listen.
Len squeezes his azure eyes shut, a thin stream of regretting and remorseful tears flowing down his cheeks and onto Miku's soft, creamy neck, he says quietly, "Because… I…"
"Because… You…?"
Len then turns his head, his lips directly in contact with her skin, and he whispers, "I wanted to do those things… To you, Miku."
His hot, heavy breath causes Miku to shiver, and her body becomes weak. Noticing this, Len's arms pull her up slightly, supporting her as her arms cling tightly around him.
Miku says nothing for a moment, and she finally replies, "Such things… To me?"
All Len can do is nod, a bit ashamed, yet relieved he has finally let out his feelings. He pulls away from her, noticing how his tears has gotten the top of her shirt and her neck wet, and flushing, he says silently, "But, I couldn't, and… I can't. And those women I slept with…" Len shakes his head, looking down at the floor, "They were… All basically, substitutes for… You."
After his confession, all Miku can truly do is purse his pink lips into a line, and stare down at the floor, rather uncomfortable, yet a tingling sensation tickles her stomach, as if butterflies are flying around in her body.
Len breathes out, content with himself for apologizing and admitting, but still nervous as he looks away to a different part of the floor, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Len."
The blonde looks up, finding a red-faced Miku, biting her lower lip, "I… I understand. I know what you mean, and I accept your apology, okay? So…" Miku offers him a little smile, "Don't push yourself down too much, okay?"
"Although my perspective might have changed a little," Miku continues, holding a piece of her teal hair, looking down at it, "It doesn't mean that I hate you, you know? I may be very innocent, like Dell kun said, but…" She reaches out tentatively and pats Len's arm, "I happen to know now… What a kiss is, what it means, and…" Miku drops her teal lock and says, "Why you kissed me, Len."
"Please, can you… Can you not call me 'Len'?" He whispers, looking at her.
"Len?"
"Please," Len repeats, scratching the back of his head and looking away again, "You used to call me 'Len kun'."
"Ah," Miku murmurs, smiling a little at the small detail he has taken note of, "Len kun."
"I kissed you because I like you." Len suddenly whispers hastily, his eyes locking onto his bedroom.
"What?"
He flashes a small, apologetic smile at her before turning quickly away towards the bathroom, and he hurriedly mutters, "I love you."
But you don't even know what love is.
"Len kun?"
Before Miku can say anything further, Len enters the bathroom in his room, locks the door, and slides down against it, staring at the tile floor, replaying what had just taken place.
"I wasn't able to hear… What he said," Miku murmurs, tilting her head to the side, "He was certainly very quiet…"
Miku has come to the decision that Len is simply a very very hormonal teenage boy who basically ventured out on a quest to sleep with as many girls as he can in order to distract himself from the irritancy of not being able to… Miku feels a bit uncomfortable.
"Not being able to…" Miku bites her lip, "Do those things to me…"
"But," Miku continues, speaking to herself quietly as she begins to walk her way towards the stairs, "Why me? I don't get it, mou…" Miku sighs, rubbing her eyes, reaching down to pick up Rin's orange gift, "I don't understand these kinds of things at all, do I?"
"Miku chan?" Luka appears on the bottom step of the stairs, her pink hair pulled up into a hasty ponytail, smiling gently at Miku, "We made breakfast, or, well…" Luka laughs lightly, "We at least attempted to, with the entire ruckus Kaito made."
Miku laughs along with her, trying to push the Len scene out of her mind, "I was just about to come down, Luka nee~" Miku sings, walking down to Luka, racking her mind for a reasonable excuse, "I woke up a bit too late, is all."
Patting Miku's head, Luka replies, "I expected you to, little sleeping beauty," Luka teases, "Knowing how you are such a heavy sleeper, and the fact that you stayed up quite late…"
"Ah, speaking of!" Miku says, attempting to switch around the topic a bit, "Did Dell kun get back home alright?"
"He did call me this morning to check up, so I assume he must be doing quite well, if you ask me. He also did say, "Luka laughs a bit, a very faint, light blush crossing her face, "That the cigarettes I had bought him were excellent."
Noticing the little blush, Miku laughs a bit and teases gently, "Luka nee, how red your face is! Dell kun must be a very special person, no?"
Miku laughs lightly at Luka's quick, startled expression, and Luka smirks, "In a rather ridiculous meaning, yes, yes, that's true."
"MIKU." Kaito greets Miku with a terrified look, his blue hair matted with clumps of pancake batter, "PROTECT ME FROM MEI CHAN. SHE-"
"Little Miku," Meiko sings, flicking Kaito on the forehead strongly, emitting a yelp from him, "You've finally arisen, sleeping beauty."
"Go on and sit, Miku, I'll handle them once again," Luka sighs, shaking her head, "Honestly, from my view, they act like an old married couple, hm?"
Miku laughs, agreeing, and watches the scene unfold again, with Kaito with his means of escape, Meiko with her plans to turn Kaito into a kitchen master, and Luka only wanting to retain peace and quiet.
"Miku," Rin calls from another part of the kitchen, placing cups onto the table, "You've finally come down." Rin smiles, winking at Miku.
Smiling back, Miku places the bag of oranges in front of Rin, and says cheerily, "Dell kun told me to give these to you, as a gift," She pats the oranges, "He doesn't seem too fond of them~"
Finishing the cup setting, Rin tucks back her hair, and frowns at the bag, "He didn't poison them, did he?"
Miku giggles, "Don't worry! I wouldn't have let him, Rin chan. Though his house was quite smoky…"
As Rin rips open the bag and begins to peel an orange, Miku catches herself staring at Rin, noticing how similar and nearly the same she looks as Len. The identical golden blonde hair, if pulled up, Rin would be the exact replica of her brother. The cerulean, blue eyes, the sculpted face, the chiseled features…
"…Miku?"
Blinking her eyes a bit, Miku tilts her head, "Ah, yes?"
Leaning across the table and placing an orange slice into Miku's mouth, Rin asks softly, "Where are you right now, Miku?"
"Oh…" Chewing the orange piece, Miku laughs halfheartedly and swallows, "I think…" Miku chooses the first excuse in her head, "I'm too tired… I woke up quite early, remember?"
Raising a brow and crushing the orange peels, Rin replies, "Of course I remember that, Miku," Rin can't help but blush a bit at the thought, "But…" Rin pops another piece into Miku's mouth and her own, "You seem… Way too out of it. Didn't you hear what I said?"
Miku shakes her head innocently, and Rin sighs, and can't help but grin at Miku's adorableness, "I think it might be best if you saw it instead."
Rin walks around the table, reaching inside her short's pocket, and stands next to Miku closely, and pulls out the two rings.
"These," Rin says gently, holding them out in her palm, "I made these for you and me. It's my way of apologizing to you, Miku."
Breathing in, Miku reaches out carefully and touches Rin's palm, flipping over the teal ring, "Rin chan, these…"
"In other words," Rin continues, encasing Miku's hand within hers, "This will be a way to keep our promises to one another. I know it might sound rather childish…"
Miku notices Rin blushing, and she opens Rin's hand, and says gently, "No no, it's not childish at all, Rin chan. It's so very sweet, and considerate, and…" Miku runs out of words to say, only able to smile at Rin, "Thank you, Rin chan…"
Scratching the back of her head with her free hand, Rin flushes more, and shyly holds up Miku's ring, and hovers it above Miku's ring finger, "May I?"
Imitating Rin, Miku grins and holds the orange ring above Rin's ring finger, and tilts her head, asking the same query, "May I~?
Then ever so gently, Rin slips the ring onto Miku's ring finger, a perfect fit for the slender limb. As Miku slips the orange ring onto Rin's finger, Rin leans over, her lips nearly touching Miku's, and with a flirtatious look in her eyes, she murmurs in a purr, "Now, let's seal this with a kiss, hm?"
Swiftly stealing a line from one of Len's songs, Rin becomes amused at Miku's widened eyes, and instead of waiting for an answer, Rin fills in the gap, pressing her lips against the luscious ones before her.
After a moment, Rin finally pulls back, finding Miku's eyes closed, her long lashes brushing against her white, creamy cheeks, her face a bit rouge.
When Miku reopens her eyes, Rin raises a brow, then with a surge of bravery, reaches out a tilts Miku's chin gently, and flashes a confident half smile, lips still close to lips.
"What an alluring person you are."
