A/N: Thank you for the support, as always, and enjoy~!

And, this isn't really an important chapter. It's just a filler in for what will happen in the next chapter!

Thank you for 200+ reviews! I'm very happy~!

Sadly, I won't be able to update normally anymore because of school. But, I promise, I'll still update whenever I have the time. I have to get to school this coming up Wednesday, so I'll update before I go to school. Please, enjoy chapter 26 for me :)

Chapter 26- My Enemy's Cousin

Len's POV; Saturday

It was the weekend now- finally.

I look down at where I'm sitting.

I'm at a table, and my eyes contacted to a box. Inside that box was Valentine's chocolate. From Rin. I remember every single thing that happened in that piano room that day. That's how Rin really feels.

And I'm not even comforting her. How pitiful is that? Am I that pathetic?

I really need to fix that.

"Hey, Lennypoo~" Oh, no, not her! I snap my head up to see Lenka at the doorway that leads to the kitchen.

I groan. "What is it? I'm not in the mood."

"Aw~something happen with Rin-chan?"

"I don't want to talk about it...really."

Lenka made a face. She shook her head. "Our cousin is visiting."

I raise an eyebrow. "Which one?"

She sighed. Oh, no! Not him! "Oliver is visiting this week."

"NOOO!"

"I KNOW! THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!"

I swiftly stand up from my seat. "WHY THE HELL IS HE VISITING?! OUT OF ALL PEOPLE!"

Lenka shrugged. "I wish I knew! And he's gotten older too. He's about the same age as you. And he's coming tomorrow."

I let out a breath. You see, Oliver is my cousin from England. And, he's very annoying. People called him a shota, as well as me. Ugh. But, since he's grown older now, I hope he's not as obnoxious as he used to be back then.

I HOPE.

"What are you going to do in the meantime?" I ask. Lenka smiles.

"Spend some time with Rin-Rin~"

"Who?"

She scoffed. "Of course! It's Rinto! Well, bye!" And she skipped out the house with her coat and shoes. Oh, yeah. Rinto is Rin's brother. Rin…

I shake my head. I sit back down at the chair, and my eyes were once again settled on the chocolate. They looked edible. Too edible. And I was tempted to eat them. I didn't want the chocolate in the first place. I never liked Valentine's chocolate anyway. But, it seemed that Rin was committed on making the chocolate, so I couldn't let her down.

It seemed she got hurt at the end of the day, anyway.

I took one. It melted slightly in between my fingers. I slid it into my mouth and chewed.

I found myself eating the whole box of the delighted candy.

Normal POV; Saturday

Rin woke up with the sun shining in her face. She sat up quickly to block it off. She turned to her nightstand and grabbed her phone, flipping it open.

A text.

From Len.

She hesitated until finally reading it.

To: Rin Kagene

From: Len Kagamine

My cousin is visiting. Come over to console me. I want to see you. ;)

Rin sighed, throwing her phone on her bed. "What the hell, Len? I'm still mad at you!"

Her phone buzzed.

To: Rin Kagene

From: Len Kagamine

I know.

Rin shook her head.

I have no choice, do I?

Then, she got up to do her daily routine.

O/O/O/O/O

Rin's POV

When I was in front of the Kagamine household, I knocked on the door. "Hold on!" I heard someone from the other side answer. I shivered, stuffing her hands in her pockets because of the sudden breeze.

"H-hurry up," my teeth clacked together.

"Who are you?" a voice asked behind me. I tensed up, turning slowly around to see a boy with blonde hair and a white eyepatch over his right eye. He was as tall as me and he looked a little bit like Len. In a way. If I could hear clearly, he has a British accent. My eyes widened a bit.

"Who are YOU?" I asked back.

No one asks me questions! I ask THEM the questions! Hmph!

I crossed my arms.

The guy raised his eyebrows. "Uhm…"

HAHA! SPEECHLESS!

That's when the door opened. We twirled around to see Len at the doorway, looking a little confused. Hey, I would too. "Oliver, why are you here?" he asked.

Oliver? Len knows him? I look between the two.

"You know each other?" I ponder, furrowing my eyebrows.

Oliver nods. "He is my cousin, after all."

COUSIN?!

No wonder why he looks like Len!

"Really?!"

"Why so surprised?" he teased.

Oh, God...another Len.

The ACTUAL Len rolled his eyes. "Welcome, Oliver." He strained his cousin's name. Oliver smiles softly before walking into Len's house.

"Why, thank you, dear cousin. Oh, and one question."

"What?"

"Is she your girlfriend?"

We both blushed. "WE'RE NOT TOGETHER!"

We sat at the table with me, Oliver, and Len. Oliver was drinking tea while Len and I just watched, obviously uncomfortable.

Awkward…

"Well, it's not to see you again, Oliver…"

"I know. It's pleasing to see my cousin!"

"How long are you staying?" I glare at Len. He catches it and just rolls his eyes. I mean- come on! This is his cousin we're talking about here! Aren't cousins more caring to each than this?

Oliver looked up at ceiling before his eyes contacted with his cousin's. "Only today. I have to get back to England. Maybe, in a few months, I can come back here, and steal your sweetie away~" He winked at me.

I couldn't help it, but my face got warm.

I have to admit- he's kinda cute. In a girly type of way.

Len growled. "In your dreams…"

Oliver chuckled a little and set his tea cup down. He stood up, which made us to the same. "Well, I've ought to go."

"Finally…" Len muttered.

Oliver looked over at me. He walked towards me, and that made me cautious. He whispered in my ear, "I'll be back. And I'll bet you'll totally want me."

Soon, he left with a half-hearted wave.

I sighed.

That was so lame!

I decide I would like to go as well. So, I walked over to the door with Len following me. He smiled weakly. "I'm sorry about that. I hope you weren't uncomfortable."

"Oh, I definitely was!"

"Nice to hear…"

We stood there for a few seconds.

That's not until Len spoke up.

"I've thought a lot about what you said earlier this week to me…" I widen my eyes. What is this? Is this what I've been waiting for? "And maybe you're right...you know? I haven't been there to comfort you, and that...that breaks my heart. And I guess…I guess I really don't understand what you want...and I get that. So, I want to change that." My vision wavered. What does he mean? I can't ask that because my voice is somehow trapped in my throat. "Whenever you have a problem, or you just want to talk about your troubles, please...come to me. I should be first person to know. Alright?"

I swallow.

Before I could answer, he takes me in a hug. A warm, tight one. I closed my eyes. I could feel him rest his face on the crook of my neck, and he whispered, "Just promise me that…"

I nod meekly, reaching my arms to embrace him back.

A/N: UGH! I'm so sorry for the short chapter! WRITER'S BLOCK!
