Chapter 14
It was the day before Christmas Eve; Gakupo's house was drowned in decorations thanks to Rin, and she may have gone a little overboard. The railings were all wrapped in garland, which were decorated with ornaments she found in Gakupo's basement. She made Gakupo and Len put up the Christmas tree, also found in the basement; Gakupo didn't know he had half of the shit Rin kept finding in the basement, probably because he never went down there since it frightened him, but nobody else needed to know that. As Len and Luka were putting the finishing touches on the tree, Gakupo was outside in the cold, wrapping garland around the purple columns surrounding his door. Rin was running crazy all around the house making sure everything was perfect. "Oh, Lenny!" she grinned and twirled into his arms, "The house is so beautiful!"
Gakupo walked into the house and quickly shut the door behind him, then turned to face everyone, "It's fucking cold out there!" he shivered.
Len winked at him, "I'll bet Luka can warm you up upstairs," he grinned mischievously, "Unless you'd rather me do it," he teased.
Gakupo played along, "Oh, of course I would Lenny," he grinned and then looked over at Luka, "Kidding, babe!"
She laughed, "I know, Gaku," she walked over to him, "You two can finish up down here?" Not waiting for an answer, she took Gakupo upstairs to their room and shut the door behind them.
Len looked Rin up and down, she was in some of Luka's clothes, they were a tad big on her since Luka was much taller and, well, much bigger than Rin in the chest area, "You're so adorable," he said softly and tucked some stray hairs behind her ear. He took her hands and pulled her closer to him; their faces just centimeters away from each other, "I love you."
She blushed; sometimes it still didn't feel real when she was with Len, like it was all a dream and she'd wake up any moment without him. She closed the gap between them, kissing him softly. Len ran his fingers through her hair as the kiss intensified, and then Rin pushed him down on the couch and straddled him, she took off her shirt, and then Len's came off shortly after. Rin went for Len's pants, but he shook his head, "What is it?" she pouted.
He looked up into her beautiful cerulean blue eyes, "I love you, Rin, but sex isn't the only thing I want. Sometimes I just want to make out and cuddle with the love of my life," he blushed as she grinned at him.
"You're just too sweet," she kissed him. As they made out, they couldn't help but want each other, but they resisted the urge. "Len?" she said breathlessly as she pulled away.
"Yes, beautiful?" he smiled.
"Are you sure you don't want to do anything?" she pouted playfully.
He laughed and rolled off the couch, then grabbed her hand and led her to their room, "How could I ever resist you?" he smiled and hopped onto the bed.
"I don't know," she giggled as he started kissing her neck.
"Len!" they heard Gakupo's voice from outside their room.
"I guess that's one way," he sighed and went to open the door, "Yes, Gaku?" Gakupo grabbed Len's wrist and pulled him out of the room and down the hall, "What's going on!?"
He pulled a small box out of his pocket, "What is this!?"
Len blushed, "I was going to propose to Rin…" he looked up at him, "How did you find it!?"
"Len, you hid it in my underwear drawer, did you really think I wasn't going to find it?" he chuckled, "How did you afford this? I thought you didn't have a job!"
"I-I don't… now," he said quietly. Gakupo looked at him, expecting an explanation, "Fine!" he caved, "I used to work at a porn/toy shop," he said quietly and Gakupo's jaw dropped and blushed, "I-I didn't make it or anything! I just sold it…" he blushed. Gakupo was silent, he didn't know what to think about Len and his interesting choice of employment. "It made good money because nobody would work there," he laughed a little, "I hated it there!"
Gakupo's eyes were wide, "Why would you choose a porn shop? There are plenty of other fine establishments that are less, uh," he was searching for the right word, "nasty!"
"It paid $30 an hour, I was the manager on duty for the night shift," he blushed, "I started working there when I was 16 and quit a few months ago…"
Gakupo raised an eyebrow, "Is it even legal to work at a shop like that at 16!?"
He shrugged, "I got paid in cash and tips, and I knew the lady that hired me. It was one of my mom's, er, Mieko's friends. She knew I needed the money and agreed to let me work the night shift, she fired the original night manager but didn't take her out of the system, so I clocked in as her, so they wouldn't know I was underage, and all the money went to me."
"Len, that's highly illegal!"
He nodded, "I knew that, but I needed money. I quit after making what was necessary. I worked 9 pm to 6 am, and then I'd go to school, and then I'd go to sleep. The only night I got off was Saturday... It was awful, but it was the only way I could get money."
"Len, you worked like 54 hours in a week; that is fucking insane. How'd you get your schoolwork done!?"
He sighed, "I woke up at 6 in the evening, did it the best I could, and then went to work."
Gakupo thought for a moment, "Wait, why would you get tips? What did you do for tips!?" He was really hoping his friend was not selling his body or some crazy shit like that!
"I kept my mouth shut about who came in and stuff," he told him, "That was a good bonus," he smiled slightly. "But I've made my money and I'm done working for now. That's all behind me, and it will remain that way. I hate how dirty that job made me feel."
Gakupo put a hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry that you had to work there," he took a breath, "Back on topic," he smiled, "So, when ya gonna do it?"
Len laughed and looked at his feet, "I don't know yet, I'm still really nervous…"
"Nervous about what?" Rin asked as she walked towards them, Gakupo quickly shoved the ring box in his pocket and nodded slightly at Len as he walked back to his room.
Len shook his head, "Oh, nothing," he smiled at her, "I love you."
She raised her eyebrows at him, "You're not changing the subject that easy, Lenny," she grinned.
Len sighed, and then kissed her, hoping she'd forget about it. He grabbed her ass tightly and pulled her closer, then put one hand on her jawline, pulling her mouth up closer towards his. Rin ran her hands down Len's back, and then they made their way back to their room. Once on the bed, Len took Rin's shirt off right away, then unhooked her bra and threw it to the side. He was about to go further, but his phone started ringing, "Why!?" he groaned and answered it, "Hello?"
"Hello, Len," he heard Piko's voice, "What's up?"
Len looked at Rin, "Look Piko, I'm kinda busy right now…"
"Oh," he said quietly, "I just wanted to know if me and Haku could spend the holidays with you and Rin… Mikuo left," he told him softly, "Haku and I are alone now…"
Len's eyes softened and sat up, apologizing to Rin with his eyes, "When did this happen?"
"Last night, we woke up to glowing from the other room, and then Mikuo was nowhere to be found. He didn't even say good bye," he sighed, "I mean, me I understand, but not even to Haku. They were so close…"
"I'm so sorry," Len said at last, "Especially since you'll probably never see him again…" Rin looked at him with a confused expression on her face, but he shook his head as if to say 'not now' and then said to Piko, "Of course you can spend the holidays with us!"
Piko smiled, "Great! I'll see you then!" he said cheerfully, "Bye!"
The line clicked off and Len looked at Rin, "Mikuo went over to Miku's world."
She nodded, "So Piko and Haku are gonna spend the holidays with us?" she smiled brightly, she liked Piko quite a bit, he was a really nice guy. Len nodded and she grinned, "This is gonna be so much fun!"
Len looked at her, his eyes full of lust, "And so is this," he winked and took off her pants.
"Hey Len!" Luka called from the hall. He groaned loudly and she laughed, "Sorry! Talk to me when you're done!"
Len smiled at Rin and said, "Now where were we?" Rin giggled and he took his pants off. "Oh Rin," he moaned as he plunged into her. "Why do you have to feel so good?" he smiled.
She blushed, "I dunno! I can't help it!"
"I was teasing, baby," he kissed her forehead. Their bodies moved in perfect sync, like they were one. When they both climaxed, they got dressed and Len ran down the hall to find Luka, "Luka?"
"Downstairs!" She hollered for him. He met her at the couch and smirked, she smiled at him, "So, what's the deal with the ring?" she whispered mischievously.
"I'm gonna propose," he blushed.
She raised an eyebrow and smirked playfully, "When?" He shrugged, and her eyes widened, "You don't know!? Why not on Christmas!?"
"I'm scared," he said softly, "What I she says no?"
Luka laughed, "You're crazy, Len. That girl is so in love with you, don't you know that?"
He nodded, "I'm still nervous though!"
Luka put a hand on his shoulder and smiled warmly, "Len, trust me, she's gonna say yes."
Len smiled, "Thank you." He really hoped she was right.

That day and the next passed by so quickly, Len barely had time to prepare his proposal. It was 11:50 pm on Christmas Eve. Len, Rin, Gakupo, Luka, Piko, and Haku were all chilling out in the living room drinking beer, vodka, and hot cocoa. Rin discovered she didn't like alcohol and stuck to the cocoa after that, while everyone else drank their alcoholic beverages. Len was sure not to get too drunk though, he still had to propose to Rin! Everyone knew but Rin, and everyone else was beginning to think Len was going to chicken out, but much to their surprise, Len looked at Gakupo and nodded; he was ready.
Gakupo reached into his pocket and gave the box to Len while Rin wasn't looking. Len put it in his pocket and stood, "Guys, I think we should open presents," thankfully Piko warned Len early enough that he and Rin had time to get him and Haku gifts: a new guitar for Piko and some black combat boots for Haku. Len handed out all the presents: two for Piko and Haku; three for Luka; four for Gakupo; three for Len; and two for Rin. Everyone opened their first one: Piko got the guitar; Haku got the boots; Luka got her stunning dress; Gakupo got his fancy coats; Len got a yellow hoodie (from Piko and Haku); and Rin got an orange hoodie, similar to Len's. Everyone exchanged thanks and opened their next one: Piko got a pair of headphones, the ones that fit over your entire ear (from Gaku and Luka); Haku got matching headphones; Luka got the makeup; Gakupo got the shoes (from Len); Len got an iPhone (from Gaku, holy shit thanks Gaku and Luka!); and Rin got and iPhone as well (holy shit thank you again Gaku and Luka!). More thank you's, and then the rest of the presents: Luka got a beautiful necklace from Gaku; Gaku got the samurai sword (holy shit that's awesome) and a CD from Luka (he'd have to listen to that later); and Len got a beautiful and romantic card from Rin.
When they were done, everyone's eyes, except for Rin, went to Len. He blushed and looked at his feet. Gakupo grabbed Len and excused them to the kitchen, "C'mon Len! Everyone's about to explode from all the anticipation, you can do it! I promise," he smiled, but Len wouldn't budge. He put a hand on Len's shoulder, "I understand if you're not ready, though," he eyes softened, "It is a pretty big commitment…"
Len furrowed his eyebrows, then smiled in realization, "A commitment I'm ready to make!" he grinned. They walked back out of the kitchen and into the living room, where Luka was sitting at the piano and everyone else was a the tree talking. Luka and Len exchanged glances, and then he realized she was going to play for him as he proposed. 'How sweet' he smiled at her. He took a breath, then stepped towards Rin, "Uh, Rin, can I talk to you for a second?" he blushed.
She turned to face him, and smiled brightly, "Of course!"
He smiled as Luka began to play a soft melody on the piano; he knew she could still play. He took a deep breath and looked at Rin. "Rin, I know we just met face to face for the first time just about a week ago," he started and she smiled, still not entirely sure what was going on, "But I'm crazy in love with you," he laughed; tears forming in his, and everyone else's, eyes "I knew our love was too real to be crazy, and even though I really was beginning to believe I was crazy, Gakupo saw you, and I knew I was right all along. Our love will never die, so Rin Kagamine," he pulled the ring out and got down on one knee; Rin gasped and started crying tears of joy, finally realizing what was happening, "Will you marry me?"
She collapsed into him and started laughing and crying and kissing him all at the same time, "Yes!" she squealed, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" He put the ring on her finger and hugged her tightly, "I love you, Lenny," she wiped her eyes.
"I love you too, Rinny," he grinned; he was so glad she said yes.
The others aww'd and felt so happy for the two lovers who thought they'd never be together. "I'm so happy for you guys," Gakupo smiled at them as Luka joined him. He put his arm around her, "I'm ready whenever you are," he whispered in her ear. She blushed and looked up at him, "Only when you're ready," he kissed her nose.
"Thanks Gaku," Len smiled, "Thank you for believing in me." He hugged him and then nodded slightly, "You'll be my best man, right?
"Of course, Len," he ruffled up his hair, "Now, go on back to Rin," he smiled.
Len did so, and then Rin squeezed him and said, "I was starting to think I was crazy too, and I'm so glad we were right all along. I just knew our love was too real to be crazy," her eyes were filled with tears again.
"Our love has always been too real to be crazy," he kissed her head, "And now that you're here with me, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you," his eyes teared up, "Without that stupid mirror separating us."
They kissed passionately, not caring that the others could see them. That stupid mirror was gone for good, and they were so grateful for that. Finally, they could express their love in ways they never thought possible. Really, they could just be together. And that, was all they wanted; to be together. And now that they were, they were in love now more than ever before.
"I love you," Len and Rin said simultaneously, and then they both laughed and kissed again.
