Chapter 12

Len's POV

"Mikuo? What's with the noise level? I'm- Oh." A certain teal haired girl appeared from the kitchen. My eyes bulged when I saw her. Miku was wearing a green apron and holding a large saucepan in her hands. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, not her usual pigtails. Her eyes shifted from Mikuo, to Rin, then to me. "...I didn't hear you come, Rin." Miku smiled at Rin, who waved back happily.

"Mikuo said you were asleep…?" Rin pointed at Mikuo, the guy who is trying not to look at me now.

Miku tilted her head to one side and stared at her brother for a few seconds, then she put down the saucepan, shoved me away roughly, and whispered to Rin, "Do you like him yet?"

Rin looked surprised at the question. "Uh...no?" Rin's eyes flickered from Miku to me. "He's not even my type." She whispered, unfortunately not softly. It seems like she wants me to hear.

"Ouch...I can hear that, you know." Seriously Rin, are you trying to make me not fall for you? At least make an attempt, even if I already like you… But hurtful much? I gave Rin the 'I-am-hurt' look and she just looked away and continue talking to Miku like she seen nothing.

Miku turned to death-glare me. "Well, good. I hope you get a big GAME OVER in this game." She spat, and then returned to Rin, a big sisterly smile on her face now. "I was making pasta. Want to come taste it?"

Mikuo mumbled something about spring onions in the pasta, licking his lips. Rin's face became whiter than a ghost. "Uh...no thanks." Clearly, Rin still have fears about leeks, thanks to the juice last time.

"Aww...it's alright, Rin. There's no need to be so courteous! I only need you to taste a bit of it. Come!" Miku snatched up Rin's hand before she could protest and pulled her into the kitchen.

Rin panicked and looked at me, her eyes freaking begging me to save her. But ever since the incident last time, I swore never to step into Miku's kitchen again...! Mikuo was still rooted to the sofa, currently flicking bowling balls at pins.

"Errr…" was all I could say before seeing Rin got dragged into Miku's hell kitchen…there got to be something I can do! I looked into the kitchen and saw Miku took out a monstrous plate of leek pasta and placed it in front of Rin. Rin expression was like one of those people you will find under Hitler's domination…of fear and helplessness…

I thought for about three seconds, when Rin lifted that spoon filled with…that thing…I just had enough time to walk in that hell of a kitchen, grabbed Rin's spoon before she swallowed it and gobbled up the leek pasta.

Asdfghjkl, oh my god. Definitely the worst cooking ever. I shook my head to get rid of that dizziness and eyed at that whole entire plate of pasta… Argh… this is going to take a long time to heal… I plucked up my courage like a man, (DEFINITELY NO SHOTA HERE.) and woofed down the whole plate of pasta.

Ok, my taste buds no longer work.

There was a long moment of silence, and when I was done gagging I realised both Miku and Rin were staring at me, mouths agape. The only sounds came from Mikuo's television as he threw another 'ball' at the pins.

"Le...Len..." Rin finally said. "Len, did you..?"

"KAGAMINEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Miku screeched and grabbed the saucepan on the table. "WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO COME IN? WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO EAT MY COOKING? GET OUT NOW." And the saucepan nearly met my face if not for the table leg, which Miku almost trip over. Fortunately, Mikuo still had some common sense, so he came over and pried the weapon out of his sister's hands.

While Miku was fussing over this with Mikuo, I just quickly left the house with Rin behind me. I guessed she just don't want to get forced to eat another of Miku's leek pasta.

"You're probably the biggest idiot I've ever met. Nobody told you to come in and eat everything. I could have avoided eating it myself." Rin grumbled when we are a distance away. She stopped abruptly, and then I noticed I was holding her hand really tightly. "Uh, you can let go. This is...awkward." Oh…so she was not following me…I'm holding her hand…

I looked down at our interlocking hands, and smirked, "Ya'know, I ate that thing for you. You can show some gratitude by letting me hold your hand for a while more?"

In response, Rin slapped me with her other hand. "Pervert." Hey, Rin's blushing.

"Jeez, we left without even saying 'goodbye'...because of you." Rin complained as she took out MY phone to look at the time. "We still have some time, want to go somewhere? Like back to Miku's house to say a decent farewell." Without waiting for me to reply, Rin started pulling me back to Miku's house.

"Oh wait! R-Rin! Erm, I think we should just leave in case if Miku has made more of that leek pasta and…yeah." Rin stopped for a second to think.

"But we didn't even-ok fine. I'll message her an apology later." Rin walked back to my side. "So, where now?"

"Erm, want to just hang out and go to the mall?" Well, it's a holiday anyway, should not just go home straight away.

"With you alone...?" Rin looked apprehensively around. "Don't touch any parts of my body other than my hand or I'll cut you." She warned. Rin started walking and pulling my hand behind her. However, I noticed that she was coming closer to me... "Why-What are you doing so close to me?" Rin snapped as she noticed it too. Her face was red, like really red. "You, move two steps backwards!"

"Uh, what?" I turned to look at what is behind me then acted dumb and moved two steps backwards…towards Rin.

"…Urgh. Let me reiterate it for you, dumbass. Move two steps away from me." Rin's hand stopped me from going any closer to her.

I pouted and moved away obediently, but then two kids behind suddenly ran forward, knocked into me and... I opened my eyes, my gaze falling onto Rin's petite face. Rin blushed and tried to push me away but I was stuck there. "Goddammit, let go you freaking manwhore!"

"Uh...Your eyes are pretty." I managed to stammer out when I done staring at Rin. She hissed and kicked me away from her. "Yours, on the other hand, is full of shit." Rin insulted, got up and glared at the two kids who were stuck there staring at us.

"Kids, don't ever run about like that again. Oh, and...ignore my language." She took a deep breath and said flatly. "Also...erm, nothing. Go find your mother." Rin shooed the kids away then turned to me, a dark look in her blue eyes.

"That was an accident and you know that, right?" Oh my god, she looked like she's going to punch me in the face…not my face…

The "very dark look" changed to a "sweet innocent look" as Rin walked to me and outstretched her hand for me. "Yeah, I know that, Len..." I can still feel the coldness in her voice though. I reached out tentatively and took her hand, not knowing what to expect...Rin is a scary girl.

Rin, being Rin, isn't that kind to pull me up. Still holding my hand, she bent down, and then squeezed. "ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDSDFAAAARIN OWOWOWOW RIN NO OW WHAT'S WITH YOU?" Where did Rin get her strength from?

"You were staring at me for 11 seconds, so I'm obliged to hold your hand like this for 11x2 seconds, which is 22 seconds." Rin is still smiling sweetly at me. "Isn't that what you wanted, eh?"

"Well, Rin-ow, c-can you just er, hold less tight? I know I'm irresistible but, ouch." I smiled sweetly back to Rin.

She tightened her hold on my hand, but her expression did not change at all. "We could stay like this all day; actually...You have nice hands, really nice hands. I want to chop them off and plant them in my backyard." The last sentence had acid literally dripping from it. Now, some people were turning to look at us; a sadistic looking girl holding the hand of a strikingly handsome boy.

"Erm, I think it will be better if we don't stay like this…well, at least not here." I looked around, yep, we are in the middle of a street.

"Oh?" Rin looked around. "Oh." Rin turned back to me, giggled a bit, then FREAKING TWISTED MY ARM. "Ok, 11 seconds is up. The arm twisting is for the other extra 11 seconds." Without giving me time to yell or protest, she pulled me up and finally loosened her hellish grip.

"GEEZ RIN. Ok, now can I hold your hand like a normal couple would? …Ow…that seriously hurts…" I rubbed my arm to ease the pain but this might take a long time.

"Tch. If it satisfies your sexual desire somehow, fine." Rin snorted and turned heels, "…You stay two steps away from me by the way." She added quickly.

Well, at least I can still hold her hand. I nodded then walked back two steps, still holding her hand though.

Rin looked at me suspiciously, then she turned away and started walking briskly. "How's your hand?" She asked flatly.

"My hand? Oh, why not you help kiss it better?" I smirked even though I knew that she probably would not see it with her face away from me.

"...You're going to regret this." Rin hissed softly, "...Kagamine Len, died 2 July 2012, Rest In Pieces..." Rin squeezed my hand slightly as a reminder of what happened a short while ago.

"Ow Rin! It still hurts, you know… That's not how you're supposed to treat your boyfriend…and you're definitely not supposed to chop me up either…" I pouted at her.

"You are not my boyfriend...yet." Rin lowered her head and kind of mouthed the last word. "I don't plan to chop you up; I plan to set dogs on you. How's that?"

"…Yeah, that's really nice of you…although I still wish you'll kiss me better…" I whispered the last part but still managed to let Rin hear it.

Rin stopped, and whipped around so that she's really near to my face. "Kiss you? Ok close your eyes."

I stared at Rin for a while and obliged. Even though I know that Rin is probably going to trick me and punch me or something but it still made me kind of nervous to just imagine it…oh god, I hoped I'm not smiling like some idiot…

"..."

"..."

"Ok, I kissed you. You can open your eyes." Rin said.

"Huh? You did? How come I didn't feel anything?" Well, that's weird…

Somehow, Rin had dislodged her hand from mine and was now standing at least 10 metres away. "I blew you an air kiss, didn't you see?" She giggled.

"Sigh, well, I guess that's the most I can get…for now." I caught up to Rin…how did she get so far away all of a sudden?

Before I could get overly close to her, Rin's hand covered my face. "Two steps, two steps away from me, dummy." She voluntarily walked back another two steps, away from me.

"Why are you so sensitive, Rin? Are you that scared that I'll rape you? In the middle of the street at that." It's not like I'll really do that to anyone.

"No, I'm scared that your perverse behaviour will rub off me." Rin retorted jokingly, "It's not rape if they like it, anyway..." She mumbled that last bit. Oh, Rin's blushing.

"What so bad about that? ...hahaha what would you like to get raped ahahaha…?" Oh my god, I'm going to get killed…

Rin blushed even harder. She screamed, backhanded me, then pretty much ran and hid behind a lamp post.

Ouch, why do Rin had to hit me every single time? Well, at least I'm still alive. I walked to that lamp post and tried to calm Rin down. "Erm, I'm just kidding about that…"

Rin inched away a little bit more. "...oh. Yeah. I...I'm kidding too. Yeah...but really, please move away from me. I'm uh...can you just take four steps away from me while I calm down?" She stammered.

This time I really took four steps away from her. She looked less nervous… She stood in the same position for a few more seconds before walking to my side and slid her hand into mine.

"Erm...where were we going again?" She scratched her chin nervously. Her face looked like a freaking beetroot.

"The mall?" Oh my god, why is the atmosphere so awkward all of a sudden…

Rin took a deep breath and mumbled, "Idiot" over and over again. "Do we look like a regular couple now?" An unexpected question came out of her mouth.

"Well, not really, unless we kiss." I said with a smirk but quickly regained my posture. "Hahaha, kidding…no, not really…"

Rin raised an eyebrow, and then pinched my cheek. "Good. It's too early to kiss you." She whispered soundlessly.


A/N: Charredh-...Do you really think I'll actually make them kiss lol? :D

Hairuhi-Yep, in a million years. XD
