Another chapter! Whoo! I apologize for taking so long. School's a bitch. Enjoy the chapter!
"No fair, Lenka! You can't do that!" A soaked to the bone Rinto yelled at his sister. In his hand, he held a water gun. Lenka looked at her brother innocently. She also held a water gun. "There's nothing in the rules that say I can't hide in a tree and drop water balloons onto my opponents." Pieces of wet hair stuck to the sides of her cheeks and face.
Yumi watched from a distance in amusement as the two argued. Minutes before, Lenka had waged a water gun war on Rinto and Len. Both boys accepted. Since it was unfair to have a 3:2 team ratio, Rin was dubbed as the weapon master. Whenever someone on either team needed a water gun because theirs was stolen or misplaced, Rin would give them a new one.
During the fight, Yumi and Lenka kept racking up the points. Rinto and Len would always miss, which gave the girls time to retaliate and hit them. Lenka was hit once or twice. Rinto and Len got absolutely soaked. Yumi wasn't hit at all. It surprised everyone.
Soon, Yumi became bored with watching Rinto and Lenka fight. Walking inside, she flopped down onto the living room couch and stared up at the ceiling. Her mind start to wander and soon she was just staring into space. "...umi? Yuumii? Yumi!"
"Gah!" Yumi jumped, flailing her arms and legs. She then fell off the couch. "Ouch."
"Are you ok?" A worried Rin asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Did you need something?" Yumi asked, looking at her friend. To her, Rin looked totally different without her bow and hair clips. "I was staring into space."
"I thought as much. I just wanted to know if you wanted a smoothie." Rin said. She had changed into an orange tank top and shorts. "We have a lot of fresh fruit and it'll go to waste since no one's been eating them."
"Oh. Sure. Do you have strawberries and raspberries?" Yumi asked, sitting up. "Or mangos and pineapples?"
"I have strawberries. I'll have to check for raspberries. As for mangos and pineapples, we ate all of those." Rin said, giggling. "So you'd want a strawberry and raspberry smoothie if there are raspberries?"
"Mmhm. If there aren't, a regular strawberry smoothie's fine."
"Gotcha~!" Rin walked away, disappearing into the kitchen.
Yumi started staring into space again, this time humming to herself. In the corner of her eye, Len was walking towards the kitchen. He disappeared from her sight, at which she heard Rin yell, "Len, get away from that! What are you d-? LEN!" and a big boom come from the kitchen.
Yumi ran towards the kitchen and almost burst out laughing. Both Rin and Len were covered in smoothie. Rin of course was furious. "You dipshit! The smoothie that is now all over us was for Yumi!" Len licked his fingers off. "Not bad. I prefer banana though." His sister slapped him in the back of the head before storming off.
Later that night, Yumi jolted awake. Rin and Lenka insisted on her sleeping in their room even though Yumi was going to sleep on the couch. The silver haired girl stood up from the spot where she lay on the floor and silently slunk to the living room, carrying a sketchbook and a pencil.
Sitting on the couch, Yumi opened her sketchbook and started to pencil moved fluently across the paper. A humming noise came from Yumi's mouth, soft enough to not wake anybody but loud enough to where it could be heard. She was so absorbed in her drawing to the point where she wouldn't be able to hear someone who called her name.
A hand touched Yumi's shoulder, which made her jump. A noise escaped her lips and she ended up falling off the couch once again. Groaning, Yumi sat up to see who touched her shoulder. To her surprise, it was Len standing there, a look of confusion on his face. "Are you... okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." Yumi answered, standing up slowly. "Any reason why you're up too?" "Couldn't sleep." Len said, sitting down on the couch. Yumi also sat down, awkwardly finishing her drawing. Out of the corner of her eye, Yumi could see Len watching her, which was making her hand shake. She could feel her cheeks start start to burn a little.
"Are you feeling well? Your cheeks are bright red." Len asked, placing a hand on Yumi's forehead. That small gesture made Yumi's cheeks burn even more. "Y-Yeah! I'm fine! Wow, look at the time! I really need to go to sleep!" Yumi rambled nervously, quickly standing up. She couldn't believe Len had gotten that close to her! She was afraid that something bad might happen if he stayed that close to her.
Yumi was about to walk away when Len gently grabbed her by the wrist. He pulled her towards him, pressing his lips against hers. Yumi froze, her eyes wide. What the hell was Len doing? She didn't know what to do.
Len pulled away after a few seconds, letting Yumi's wrist go at the same time. "Goodnight, then." Len said to her, standing up and leaving. Yumi just stood there speechless, her face bright red. On the inside, she was screaming.
