10. Intense Moments
Rin's P.O.V
Everyone wanted to stay with me since I didn't want to ski anymore, but I insisted that they go. And guess who decided to stay? Len.
And here I am, in a hot tub, WITH HIM!
Do I regret my choice? Yes. Yes I do.
I stare at the water (nice, blue color, isn't it?).
Then he starts to laugh.
What's up with him?
Len's P.O.V
Okay, now I get it. Rin's shy in bathing suits and the fact that she's next to me (the one and only Len Kagamine) is getting her really tense.
That's why she did snow angels.
Snowflakes are falling into her hair. It's quite nice. It makes her look like a princess from a fairy tale.
"So, where are you grandparents? We are in their chalet after all…" she asked.
I stopped laughing.
"They're dead…"
"Oh… I'm sorry…" she said staring at the water again.
"It's fine," I said.
"So… I guess that's just how your family names this place, right?" she asked, looking up.
Yes, one hell of a family I have.
"Yeah, I guess."
"What do you mean 'I guess'?"
"Well…" I paused. "That's what my mom calls it."
"What about your dad?"
This made me flinch.
"Also dead…" I whispered.
She looked at me with pity. Great, just what I needed. I hate it when people do that!
"I'm so sorry, Len… I… didn't know"
"No worries."
"So, I guess you're mom is okay with the fact that you're spending Christmas with your buddies and three girls?"
I knew she was trying to ease the mood, but this didn't help either.
"She doesn't care," I said, looking away.
"Why not?"
"BECAUSE MY MOM'S A STUPID, ALCOHOLIC, BITCH!" I yelled.
She seemed surprised.
Great, this isn't scoring me anymore points!
Thing is, when my dad died, my mom drank her emotions away. She always says I'm stupid and shit, and she never really cares for me. So, my response to that is basically the 'I don't care about you' treatment. I decided to move out, even though I wasn't allowed to because I was too young. But, I didn't care; I couldn't take it anymore. Ever since then, I have seen or talked to her. Nor do I want to.
"S-sorry Rin… I…"
"It's fine. I'm sorry for bringing the subject up."
She looked at me and this time, I was the one staring at the water.
"Let's walk in the village, okay?" she said, smiling.
"Okay."
…
Rin's P.O.V
I didn't know Len's dad was dead! Or that his mom was an alcoholic! I feel horrible for bringing the subject up. And then, I feel really uncomfortable being next to the guy who might be in love with me.
And, while we were walking, he took my hand as if it was the most casual thing he's ever done!
Argh! Why am I blushing!? I can't be falling for him! He's only doing this to harass me once again!
"Want some hot chocolate?" he asked.
"Uh, sure," was the only answer I could come up with.
So, we went into a restaurant, and sat at a table next to a window.
A girl with two, twin drills on her head came.
"Hi, I'm Teto; I'll be your waitress. Anything I can get for this couple?" asked the waitress.
"WHAT!? W-were not a couple!" I shrieked.
"Yeah, two hot chocolates," said Len, obviously a lot calmer than me.
She went with our order.
"Len! We are so not a couple! We're not even in love!" I said.
He looked at me with a flirting smile.
"You sure?" he asked.
"Yes. Positive. Definitely. 100%."
"So, why are you blushing?"
Damn it, he got me there. I'm probably as red as a tomato right now.
"I-it's…. just really warm in here!" I answered.
"Uh huh."
Teto brought our drinks.
We drank in silence…
"LEEEEEEEN!"
Len's P.O.V
Shit. Neru. AGAIN!?
Will I ever see the end of it?
She's stalking me, isn't she? She's always at the same place as I am! What doesn't she get about the fact that we broke up last year? We only dated for three days anyways.
"Hi!" she said coming to our table.
"Hi," I said coldly, staring out the window.
First off, when Rin's hair got caught in the gears yesterday, Neru was right beside her, not helping. Which can only mean one thing: She's the one who pushed Rin. She made MY loved one cry. And I can't forgive her for that.
"Oh, hello Rin! I like your hair!" she squealed.
Rin just stared at her.
"Uh, thanks," she said coldly.
She got up. "Thanks Len, but I'll be going now."
"Wait!" But Neru grabbed my arm, so I was unable to follow her.
Rin's P.O.V
Argh, why do I feel so numb? Neru's stealing him from me!
Wait. What did I just think? Len isn't mine. I don't even like him!
Whatever. I'll just shop for his Christmas present.
