Rin POV
"That's the last of it. Remember to call us if you need anything and you know where Miku lives." Rinto said to Len and I as he put the last of the luggage into the back of Yumas car. It was a bright and sunny day, not one cloud in the sky. A perfect day to take a plane to Europe without telling your sister till the very last minute! Yes, I'm still very much mad about that.
"Are you guys ready yet? I need to get back to work." Yuma said with a strong hint of annoyance in both his voice and aura.
"Aww, is someone jealous they don't get to go to Europe with their girlfriend~?" Rinto asked teasing Yuma which of course made him angerier.
"It's not like it's some honeymoon for you two! You're going there to work, so I'm not jealous!" He yelled back at Rinto who was smirking at how he was able to get Yuma so worked up. "Just hurry up ok?" he shouted before slamming the car door shut behind him.
"Pft, he's too easy. Well I guess I'll see you guys in about two months. I'll call when we get settled into our apartment, see ya." He gave me a kiss on the forehead and ruffled Lens hair which annoyed Len but he just quickly put his hair back into place.
"I'm sorry we have to leave you two for so long, I hope it's not any trouble." Lenka said feeling, unlinke Rinto, bad that they have to leave so suddenly for so long. Lenka was so sweet, if I didn't have her around I wouldn't have any girls to talk to. Sure I have Miku and Miki, but there not like Lenka.
Lenka walked over and gave me one last hug and patted Len on the head trying not to mess up his hair too much. They both slid into the back of the car and started to drive off while Len and I gave one last wave to them.
"Two months." Len sighed as he slowly stopped waving and I nodded in agreement. It's not like we're going to miss them that much, but Len quickly learned last night the type of person Meiko is when she drinks. And we have to live with that person for 2 months.
We walked back into the house together and it was an absoulute mess. Between Rinto and Lenka running around all morning making sure they had everything and Meiko drunk last night, things have been kind of hectic in the past 24 hours.
"Hey, where did Meiko go?" Len asked looking around for the probably hungover brunette. I also wondered where she went, I haven't seen her at all this morning. I was too busy helping Rinto and Lenka to notice she wasn't around.
"I don't know, I haven't seen her since yesterday. I'll go look for her I guess." I looked around the mess of our living room quickly to see if she was lying around in the rubble and then ran up stairs to Meikos old bedroom. When I walked in, I saw all the boxes we had kept in the unused room. It was a little dusty and still had the small twin size bed that's been there since Meiko lived with us.
I walked to the bed after pushing through some of the boxes to see if she had passed out there. I walked up and there was a big lump under the blanket that's probably all musty from not being used for years. When I removed the blanket some it reveiled a hungover Meiko.
Should I wake her up? If I do she's just going to complain about her head hurting. She would probably do that anyway in a couple hours though.
"Rin?" I heard Meiko slur as she tried to get out of bed. When I saw her face she look exahusted with the bags under her eyes.
"Y-yes?" I didn't know how she would be acting; it's different everytime she wakes up from drinking. I was trying to be cautious, but she seemed like she was in a pretty good mood.
"Can you get me my bag of clothes? I wanna get this room cleared out so I can sleep in here." And that was all she said before she fell back into the bed, I don't think she fell asleep though. I'm surprised that's all she wanted, usually she's more demanding like telling me to make her breakfast or somthing.
I ran back down stairs were Len was cleaning up some of the mess down stairs. I went through the rubble of alcohol cans and trash to look for her luggage.
"Did you find her?" Len asked as he continued to clean.
"Yeah, I wouldn't go up there though. Her attitude can either be great or horrible when she wakes up hungover." I said still trying to search for the luggage through this mess.
When I finally found it I lugged the huge luggage upstairs and slowly aproched her door. I quietly opened the door and peeked in to see her still laying in the bed, thank god. I layed her huge bag of stuff down on her floor and tiptoed back into my room to get dressed and help Len clean down stairs.
As I was stripping out of my pajamas my mind randomly wondered to the topic of Len. I was thinking about how much Len had changed. He's been here for only a few months and he's changed so much, not only himself but also our attitudes towards each other. We used to hate every moment spent together, now I don't really mind his presence at all. Well actually, as much as I hate to admit it, I actually kind of enjoy him being around. He's like a brother almost. I know I have Rinto and all, but before Len came it was always lonley in the house because Rinto was at work all the time.
I finished getting dressed and ran back down stairs to try and clean up before Meiko woke back up. Luckily Meiko only does this kinda thing a couple times a week and doesn't normally make this much of a mess. You get used to it though.
When I got back down stairs Len was already almost finished, how long was I in my room exactly? I looked around the room and all that was really left was a couple cans here and there.
"Wow Len, looks like you aren't completly useless." I said leaning on the wall with a smirk. Len whipped his head around to glare at me and threw the last can in the trash bag.
"It's not like you were out here to help me clean it up anyway!" He argued back as he started towards the kitchen and I followed.
"Hey Shion, just remember who usually cleans this house! I think you should've cleaned it by yourself to begin with." He gave out a sigh as if saying 'whatever'.
"Hey, it's already 11, shouldn't your aunt be up by now?"
"Your one to talk, I've seen you wake up right before dinner." I started towards the cabinet to find some noodles to make some ramen for lunch as Len sat at the dinning room table.
"Yeah but I'm a teenage boy, that's normal. This is your middle aged aunt!" He argued back.
"Len, I don't think 27 counts as middle aged..." Lens mouth was agape, about to say somthign else. But the doorbell suddenly rang. I started towards the door but it swung right open before I could do anything about it.
"Good morning Rinny~!" Miki jumped in and hugged me, even over the summer she feels the need to do this. "Hey, where's Rinto? Usually he's sitting on the computer whenever I come over."
"Oh, he's in Europe for the next two months. Meiko is here though." I said trying to make it sound like it wasn't much of a big dead. Even though it was.
"M-meiko? She's here? After all these years in America? And why the hell is Rinto in Europe?" She asked shocked. Ever since we were young Miki hasn't known if she should be afraid of Meiko or not. Meiko is a very friendly person, when she's not drunk or hungover. And for some reason, Miki is always here whenever Meiko is either drunk or hungover so it hasn't exacly gone well.
"Oh, so it was just Miki at the door." We turned to the voice and Meiko was at the end of the steps, she was dressed and looked like she was ready for the day. "Well that's good, we'll need extra help moving all that crap out of my room."
~Time Skip~
"Rin, where do you want me to put this?" Miki called out to me from the top of the stairs carrying a small box filled with some old clothes.
"Just put it into the closet, it looks small enough. We'll decide what to do with it later." With a nod she went down the hallway to the closet. "Len! Would you hurry up! How long does it take to carry one box?" I called out up the stairs. 5 minutes ago I had asked him to bring down a big heavy box to carry out for me, he orginaly didn't want to help but Meiko some how convinced him.
"Geez you slave driver! Do you know how heavy this frigin' box is?" He finally appeared at the top of the steps with the box that I could barely lift. "What the hell is this thing filled with? Rocks?" He yelled back down, truth be told I hadn't even looked in the thing yet.
"I dunno, could be. I guess we'll see when you come down!"I yelled back up to him and he let out an annoyed groan. I decided to be nice though and help him down the stairs, since what's in there could be importanat for all we know. When I took hold of the other side of the box it was still heavy, even with two people.
"What's in in this damn box?" I yelled trying to get down the steps without dropping the box or falling.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Miki came running down the stairs and took hold of the box with us, which surprisngly helped a lot. "I do a lot of upper arm exercises, so this thing is easy to carry." She said before I even had the chance to ask.
When we finally got to the end of the stairs we dropped the heavy box onto the floor and let out a sigh of releif. When I looked at the box it said 'Miku' on it. We took some of her storage the other day because it wouldn't all fit in her house or her shop.
"Of coarse it's Mikus..." I muttered to myself and let out a sigh. Len started to open it and inside was more pictures and photo albums like the one from yesterday. I picked up one that had her and Kaito from their second year of middle school and another with Rinto and Kaito playing with the neghborhood kids in another, most the pictures in the box were ones that looked like Miku had taken since they were of Kaito.
"Was Miku obsessed with my brother or something?" Len asked picking up a few more pictures looking a little disturbed.
"It looks that way, but if it's Miku it's no surprise." We put the pictures back in and made sure the box was closed properly.
"Well where do you wanna put this box?" Miki asked lifting the box up by herself like it was nothing, which made Len a bit envious.
"Just put it in the coat closet I guess." I said not really sure where to put the big heavy box filled with pictures of Kaito at for now.
"Why do you think Miku put that box here?" Len asked staring at the box of pictures filled with pictures of his deceased brother, Kaito.
"What do you mean? She didn't have enough room at her house or the shop so she asked us to put it here." I said as I started towards the stairs to get more boxes as he followed.
"I know that! I mean why the pictures of Kaito. Wouldn't you think that's one thing she would want to keep in her house?" He asked as he trailed behind me. He had a point though, it's pictures of her first love. You'd think she'd want to keep them in her house to look at.
"It would probably be too painful for her to look at pictures of him." Meiko said as she was putting away the last of the boxes into the bedroom closet. "I mean he hasn't been gone long, it must be hard looking at pictures of the person you'll never be able to see or talk to in person again."
"Oh, I didn't think of it that way I guess." I said softly because when I looked over at Len his face had changed to a saddened one which made me pitty him. His brother was really his only family left, next to his mother who left after his father passed away. I never did understand why she left though, from what I remember she was such a kind person who tresured Len and Kaito most of all in her life. I'll never know or understand why she ever did leave.
"Hey I'm gonna go finish dinner up, clean up in here for me? Oh and tell your red headed friend she can stay too if she wants." Meiko said putting away the last box and walking out of the room and Len followed a moment later. I heard Lens door slam shut and I didn't want to bother him or anything for obvious reasons. But I'm kinda glade he went into his room, it saves me the akward silence.
"Hey was that the last of it?" I saw Miki pop her head through the door. I nodded and she skipped over and layed on the side of the bed staring at the ceiling.
"Oh yeah, Meiko wants to know if you want to stay for dinner." I asked as I put some of Meikos clothes into the drawers.
"Nah, I don't want to witness Meiko drunk. She's always a mess." I agreed with her on that one, most likely she was gonna drink tonight because of all the work we did today.
In the corner of my eye I saw Miki sit up and look around the room breifley. "Where the heck did Len go? I would expect him to be somewhere around you like your shadow~." I took a second to glare at her and went back to putting away the clothes.
"He went to his room because he's not obsessed with me like a certain someone is with Piko." I could see her face get as red as her hair which made me giggle, typical Miki~.
"Atleast I don't have a box full of pictures of a guy like Miku does!" She yelled back with her face still red.
"Yeah, but that kind of thing is expected from Miku." Miki has met Miku enough times to agree with me on that statement.
"Well whatever I'm gonna head out, you know how Mikio is~." Miki hopped off the bed and towards the door and gave one last wave before leaving. Mikio is Mikis 25 year old half brother who is very protective of her; like any caring older brother.
"Rin, Meiko wants to know if your ready for dinner." Len was in the door way waiting for me to come. He still had that sad expression as he did earlier, I would respond my normal way calling him a shota and all but I seriously doubt he's in the mood for that.
I nodded and headed down stairs with him without saying a word. When we stepped into the kitchen Meiko had made a dinner that wasn't ramen like I usually make. I just like to keep it quick and simple most the time instead of making everyone wait for dinner, that's all!
"I know this isn't much, but I need to go grocery shopping so bare with it." Meiko said as she set a plate of yakitori on the table.
"Pft, it's more than Rin's made while I've been-" I punched his arm a little before he could finish. I saw him get a saticfied smirk for a second but went back to the sad expression a moment later.
~After Dinner~
Once we had finished dinner Meiko didn't hesitate to take out a bottle of sake and start drinking, just what I was expecting. This is probably or atleast hopefully the last time of the week she's going to be drinking. As much as Meiko drinks though, it never takes her long to get drunk. And of course, after the first couple sips, she was drunk.
I looked over to Len to see what he was doing, but he still had that depressing aura. He almost looked emotionless. Meiko had noticed and despite being in her drunk state she tried to ask him what was wrong, in her own drunk way.
"A man shouldn't put on a face like that, even if you do look a bit like a shota in my opinion." Meiko said a bit slured but still made Len mad, even if she was drunk talking.
"I'm not a shota." He said trying not to sound as mad and annoyed as he actually was. I tried to stay out of this and just watched from a safe distance.
"Fine then. If you think you're not a shota, then do this one thing to show your a real man." Len looked up at her confused and a bit scared by what she meant and what she wanted him to do prove he was a "man". But since it's Meiko and she's drunk, I can only imagine. "Just drink a cup of sake and I'll believe you~." Len emotionless smile soon turned into a victorious one. Oh god...
"Pft, I can do that!" Meiko poured him a cup full and gave it to him, Len chuged the whole cup down in under a minute. When he was finished I could see his face start to turn a shade of red, I knew this would be a bad idea. "S-see? No problem~!" His words were a bit slured, he was completly drunk from just one cup of sake.
"Good job kid! Now I think I'm gonna go to bed though, today tired me out~" Meiko stumbled up the stairs and into her room and I knew she was in when I heard the door slam shut. Now I just have to get Len to go to bed and I can finish cleaning up without him getting in the way.
"Come on shotacon, time for bed." I grabbed his arm but he yanked away right away.
"But Rinny~! I don't wanna go to bed~!" Jezz he's more drunk than I thought he was.
"Well you're going whether you like it or not, shotas need their beauty sleep." I grabbed his arm again and gave him a tug but he didn't move and just yanked himself out of my grip once again.
"I'm not a shota! I already proved that I'm a man now!" He yelled back the words so slurred I could barely tell what he was saying at some parts.
"Len, drinking a cup of sake doesn't prove you're a "man", okay? Now hurry up and get to bed!" I was getting annoyed and angry, why did I let him drink that cup of sake?
I tuned back around to drag him to bed, but his face started to change to a more seducive one from the annoyed, childish one he had a moment before.
"Rin, has anyone ever told you you're very cute when your mad~?" He said in this alluring voice. What is with drunk Len and his horrible pick up lines?
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked scowling at him but his aura didn't change. What he did next was somthing I wasn't expecting at all; he picked me right up and threw me over his shoulders with no problems. "L-len! What the hell do you think you're doing?" I shoted angerly and nervously, I could feel my face start to heat up too. It's not like I was enjoying this or anything though!
"I'll go to bed but you need to come with me~!" He said not breaking a sweat from carrying me, even with me thrashing around! Is this really the boy who could barely carry a box down the stairs earlier?
"Len! P-put me down right now!" He ignored me and walked up the stairs like it was nothing and he kicked his door right open.
"Ready for bed my Rinny~?" He said seductively, almost like it wasn't his voice anymore.
"Your Rinny?" I yelled back angerly, since when the hell am I his? I really regret not stopping him from drinking that sake!
"Yes, my Rinny~." I stoped thrashing around for a second to catch my breath but I soon realized that was a BIG mistake, Len took advantage of that and pinned me onto the bed, I could feel my whole face glowing red. "Finally you've calmed down a bit~ Now let's get to bed." He started to lean forward towards me and I thought the worst so I closed my eyes shut tight, not wanting to see what would happen next. But nothing did happen.
When I opened my eyes Len started to cuddle up against me practically glomping me, which made my face a little red. It was better than what I thought he was going to do though. When I looked at his face it was kind of like a cats, I could almost see the cat ears and hear him purring. This drunk Len was very different from the one I know all to well. Note to self: Never let Len drink again.
I ended this chapter in a lame way, but whatever~. It took me all day to finish since I've been re-watching Clannad: After Story and Ouran Host Club while writting (That's how cool kids spend their first day of summer vacation XD) and I couldn't think of a good way to end it, atleast I finished it though! I've had that little situatiuon that happened toward the end planned to write for a while now and I'm glade I could finally write it, my cousin and I came up with it at 3am once XD I have girls camp all Monday-Friday so not going to be updating next week xP But I promise to update One Step at a Time when I get back~! Oh and I just started my one fanfiction with MikuxKaito finally too! Ok well, Please Review~! :D
Love, Setsuro-chan
