Rin POV
Blushing wildly at the close contact, I threw Len's hands off of me and made some strange squeaking sound. "W-What are you doing here?!" I stammered, trying to cool the heat in my face.
Len watched me with an amused look on that smug face of his, shoving is hands in the pockets of his coat. "Well, you did kind of run out of Miku's house crying, so..." he said.
I finally calmed down as I crossed my arms over my chest (or lack of... T.T) and glared at him suspiciously. "I'm mean, how did you find me, idiot," I said.
His smirk disappeared before a pink color dusted his cheeks as he scratched the back of his neck. "W-Well, you did say that you were at your favorite place in the world, you know?"
He gestured to the beach surrounding us, and the ocean that seemed to be orange with the setting sun. I loved this beach; it was so calm and remote, with no rowdy teenagers or rude kids. It was clear of any shops or buildings, just the vast area of sand. There wasn't any litter, as not too many visited it. It was a calming and nostalgic place for me, and it was also a place for me to think.
I turned back to look at him, and saw that he recognized the place too. "How did you know?" I asked him quietly.
He sighed, and answered, "I dunno, you just seemed to have come here a lot after we shot Regret Message here. N-Not that I followed you or anything!"
I nodded, pink showing on my cheeks as well, turning back around to gaze at the ocean again. The water lapped up onto the sand in waves, creating that sound that I have loved for such a long time. I inhaled deeply, taking in the refreshing scent of the ocean.
"Well, you were right. This has been my favorite place since we filmed that PV," I mumbled, sitting down on the sand and patting the ground next to me, a gesture for Len to join.
He plopped down next to me as well, setting his gaze on the ocean while doing so, seeming to recall the events of that day too. As cliche as it sounds, I remember it as if it were yesterday.
It was late May, and yet it was still quite cold. I tightened the pink colored blanket around my shoulders as I shifted my weight from one foot to the other. I glanced around myself, looking at the camera crew and the director. I immediately became jealous upon seeing that the director was all bundled up with a big puffy black jacket. Master, Mothy, and Len came into view as they discussed the video, bundled up as well. I growled in annoyance as I turned back to the sea, trying to ignore the feeling of the cold air stabbing at my bare legs.
I had been dressed in a rather plain white dress, with a pink blanket around my shoulders. The dress only went down to my knees, so my pale legs were exposed to the cold, spring air. My bow was still present at the top of my head, but my clips and headphones had been taken away by Master. My hair was all over the place, and I kept trying in vain to push my fringe out of my face. All that kept running through my head was the beginning of a plan to attack Master for his coat and my other things.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Mothy call me over to their little huddle, most likely to tell me what to do. I headed in their direction, and stood next to Len and Master as Mothy and the director gave me instructions on what to do. The video was rather simple, it mainly consisted of me standing in the shore thinking about my sins in life as Rillaine, and thinking about my "twin" brother, Allen. In the end of the video, I was to break down in tears, and shout, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" several times.
Oh Mothy, I'll never understand why you make such sad stories.
After giving me instructions, the director waved me off and told me it was time to get started, and to get into the water. I nodded reluctantly as I moved toward the shore and began to walk into the water. I did an odd little dance that was somewhat a cross between the chicken dance and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" when my feet made contact with the water. I could hear Len and Master snickering behind me, and I whipped around to give them a glare that shut them up right away. I took a deep breath before the director had called, "Action."
As the video went on, in the back of my mind, a thought arose. What if I really did lose Len? What if he really had died, because of me? I don't think I would have been able to live with myself. I began to think of what it would be like if Len had a crush on Miku. Just the thought of them together... Blargh. It makes me want to throw up.
Suddenly, there were tears staining my cheeks. Fortunately, it was time for that part in the video anyway. I fell to my knees, tears streaming down my cheeks as thoughts of being separated from Len flooding my mind. I clawed at the sand below me, letting out a choked sob as I did so.
Then, I promised myself, that even if Len got himself a girlfriend, I would stay by his side, until he told me to leave him alone. A smile spread across my face as I stood up and grinned at the horizon. The director called, "Cut!" and I hightailed it out of the water. I ran over to their little huddle, as it began to pour rain.
I had shivered, beginning to pull the now soaked pink blanket tighter around myself as Mothy and the director praised me on my acting. I gave them a weak smile as I secretly tuned out their words. "Aren't you freezing?" Len had asked, his gaze full of concern.
I nodded meekly, teeth chattering as I did so. Len sighed before shrugging off his big, warm, black blanket and taking off my pink one. He wrapped his blanket around my shoulders tightly, yet gently at the same time. I looked at him, confused while he just smiled and shrugged at me. I blush settled on my cheeks, as I looked up at him with admiration. It was that day, I had realized I had fallen hard for Len.
"Why did you leave?" Len asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I looked down, refusing to meet his eyes. I fiddled with the hem of my shorts self consciously as I remembered Tei's harsh words.
"It's just, your hair is sooooo short!"
"Ne, Rin-chan, why are you so flat? If you had some curves, your sex-appeal would increase tenfold!"
"Why is your voice so high-pitched, Rin-chan?! If your voice was deeper, like Luka-chan's voice, you'd be so much more popular!"
"Why the fuck are you so STUPID."
"I-It's nothing..." I lied weakly.
"Rin."
He had said my name so sternly, I couldn't help myself but to look over and up at his aquamarine eyes. They were gentle, caring. I felt my cheeks heat up when I realized I had been staring.
"Tei-san's gone now. You can tell me what happened. I promise that she can't hurt you."
I sighed, knowing that Len wasn't about to to drop the subject any time soon, so I explained what she had said. I kept my gaze fixed on the sunset, to calm my senses and keep myself from breaking down on the spot. I glanced over to Len, to see him with a very angry expression on his face, with his fists clenched at his sides. I subconsciously shivered, half from his expression, half from the cold air from the sea. Len seemed to notice this, as he glanced down at his coat.
Before I could register what was going on, he had shrugged his coat off and draped it around my shoulders, wrapping it around me tightly. It was just like...
A blush covered my features once again. I mumbled a thank you to him as I snuggled into the warm coat, secretly inhaling his familiar scent.
Oh God. That sounded so flipping creepy.
"So what have you been thinking about?" he asked, fixing his gaze on me.
"Well..." I murmured, hesitant.
Len has known me forever, so if I lied, he would definitely be able to tell. So, I decided to just tell him the truth. "I wondered for a while... What if Tei-san was right?" I started, tucking a stray hair behind my ear.
I heard Len suck in a sharp breath, but continued anyway. "I mean, I'm already aware of everything she said. I know my hair is short, plain, and absolutely boring. I am more than aware that I am as flat as a surfboard and have literally NO sex appeal whatsoever. I am painfully aware of how high and annoying my voice is, and I wish everyday that it could be low, like Luka's. I definitely know that I'm surely not the brightest. Everything she said was true, and I know. I can't deny it, Len."
Suddenly, warm arms were wrapped around my shoulders, pulling me close to his chest. "That's not true, Rin," he mumbled into my hair, his warm breath causing me to shiver slightly.
Tears slowly began to fill my eyes as I buried my head into his shoulder. "B-But it is. It is and you know it, Len," I protested stubbornly.
He pulled back and kept a firm grip on my shoulders. He locked eyes with me and said, "No, it's not. You're beautiful, Rin. Your hair is perfect for you. Your figure is fine, and big breasts can get annoying anyway. Your voice is amazing, and I wouldn't change it in any way. You're not stupid at all, you're really clever. You can make me laugh with a simple look, and your smile could light up any room. You may have your flaws, Rin, but you're still perfect to me."
"Y-You really mean that?" I asked, my face growing red.
"Every word," he said, his face the same color as mine.
"B-But, what if other people don't think so?" I asked.
"Since when have you ever cared what other people think? What happened to the kickass Rin I know that doesn't give a flying crap what other people think?" Len retorted.
"Len, you're really sweet, but I know that not many people are as kind as you. Not a single boy is attracted to me, I bet," I mumbled, looking down.
Len suddenly cupped both of my cheeks, forcing me to look up at him. His face was blank, but his eyes said it all. He was nervous, and yet his eyes still shone with care, affection, and something else I couldn't quite decipher. My eyes widened as he leaned closer to my face and said, "Well, you've got me."
And then he gently pressed his lips to mine.
