Chapter 34 – Passion Play

"…my dream."

***Rin***

I woke up feeling flustered yet I don't know why.

I got this feeling that I dreamt of something but – I guess Luka's spell made me forget about it.

I turned to his bed. There is no sign of someone there.

He didn't come home?

.

.

.

.

.

.

I shook my head and mentally slapped my face, "Don't fret about him Rin. The guy doesn't like you. Time to move on."

I heard the bathroom door open and I yanked towards the door. I smell the peculiar scent of bananas. Realizing who it was, I hid under my blanket and pretended to be asleep. Though, he may already saw me turn to him, better as yet hide because I'm not emotionally and mentally prepared.

I didn't say a word.

Nor did he.

It's awkward.

And remembering how he treated me yesterday hurt my chest badly.

I kind of want to be angry at him.

But… I can't.

Because… it is I who believed that he likes me back. I assumed that's why I got hurt.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

It is so silent.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Suddenly, it stroke me.

Len is here but why can't I hear his thoughts?

Why?

Being aware of that, I felt worried. Why can't I hear him anymore?

.

.

.

.

I bit my lip as I fought with my inner self to speak.

I don't like the silence.

"L…Len?" I finally asked, without showing myself.

.

.

.

He didn't answer immediately and I was afraid that maybe he already left. But then, he said, "What?"

It made me sigh in relief to know that I am not talking alone with myself.

"W… Why can't I hear your thoughts anymore?" I asked.

I heard him scoff, "Why? Do you really like hearing my thoughts that well?"

His arrogance, like always, ticks me off. I laughed sarcastically, "In your dreams."

.

.

.

.

.

Another awkward silence.

.

.

.

"Rin…"

"Len…"

We called out our names in unison.

"What? You have something more to say to me?" he asked.

"I…" I wanted to – I shook my head. Silly me. It's already clear Rin. "We'll be doing a play for the Cultural Festival and it seems that you're going to be the hero of the story," I lied.

.

.

.

.

Actually…

.

.

.

I want to ask you if you like me or not.

So, I won't hope anymore.

.

.

.

.

"Is that so?" he answered.

"Yeah," I smiled at myself pathetically. It's obvious from the start. He won't like someone like me. "You have something to tell me right?"

.

.

.

.

"Nothing. It's just that, I learned that to hide my thoughts from you, I should just do what I did during the enchain with Luo. Hide the thoughts inside a box and seal it."

"Oh… so that's why I can't hear you anymore." It's bothersome. "Cool."

"So… aren't you going to school?" he asked.

My lips pressed in a thin line. I sat up and quit hiding. "I am going," I smiled at him. "It's a festival and I want to be of help."

"Okay…" I heard the door open, "…then, I'll go first."

And the door was closed.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

My smile turned upside down.

"I'm so stupid."

I am late.

That's why I used Romeo & Juliet to hover myself at fast pace to our room.

Using them made my feeling a little bit lighter.

Dad made them, that's why. And I get to use them again. It somewhat gives me the feeling of home.

I stopped Romeo and Juliet when I arrived at our hallway. Everyone are so busy preparing for the festival. I can't just hover over them without disturbing them (Romeo and Juliet gives off strong air pressure). Using them as normal roller blades, I skated my way to our room.

As I pass by people, I can't help but to hear them talk about me.

"Hey… is that Len Kagamine's enchantress?"

"They defeated the Oracle Keeper, right?"

"That means she's pretty strong?"

"Isn't she cute?"

"Wow! As expected of Len-sama. His enchantress is super strong."

"But aren't knights and enchantress meant to end up with each other? Then that means… she'll steal our Len-sama?! NO!"

I stopped in front of our room, not minding what they're talking about. I opened the door only to find the different stares of my classmates.

Is… Is it because I'm late?

I entered and the atmosphere around the room is really intense. There's the side where the people are giving me deathly glares and the other side where the people are looking at me in a daydream state.

"Go…Good morning. Did I… do something wrong?" I asked, "Except from being late?"

"Ahh… good morning Rin," Mr. Yohio's voice greeted. "No there's nothing wrong. We're just discussing about the upcoming play that our class will do."

"Then… what's with this feeling of being stared badly?" I stated as I made my way to my seat.

"Don't mind. Don't mind. They're just thinking if you really fit Rilla's character."

"Rilla?" I asked out loud. I sat down on my chair. "What's this about?"

"It's about the play. The story is about the history of Rilla." The voice beside me answered, Len. "And you've been chosen as the enchantress who saved Rilla from war."

"Wha-?" I blinked the thought, digesting what I just heard. "But I don't know anything about acting!" I exclaimed.

"Say that to that teacher smiling like an idiot," he answered, pissed.

And like he said, I raised the concern. I heard some agree with me and volunteered themselves. But Mr. Yohio chuckled and answered, "No Rin. I choose you because I know that you can capture the feeling very well."

I raised a brow. Is this still about me having the same face as the Rilla's heroine enchantress? It does intrigue me also but she's long dead. I know I'm special but she's an adult and I was a child when I was made. We can't possibly be related. Blonde and blue eyes are common afterall and so does my name.

It's just coincidence.

And it doesn't change the fact that I don't know how to act.

But he insisted.

"And besides," he continued, "Len is our hero knight so it's just appropriate that his enchantress should be his partner in this play, right?"

Yet again, I blinked to digest what he said.

.

.

.

.

.

.

I would be playing alongside with Len.

.

.

.

And our role is…

.

.

.

.

.

A married couple!

.

.

.

.

.

.

Oh, no, no, no…

This is not good.

FOR MOVING ON!

I opened my mouth to say another reason but Mr. Yohio shushed me and clapped his hands. In a moment, words were scripted in my brain. Words turning to dialogs and the dialogs turning to a scene and the scenes turns to a single play.

"Is… Is this the script?" I asked.

"Yes!" our teacher answered rather cheerfully. "And we'll be doing our rehearsals tomorrow. For those who are given roles, I inscribed the scripts in your mind. It won't last long so take your time to read it and memorize it. Rehearsals will start tomorrow…" and he continued his instructions to his students

And I was nervous as hell.

I'm still awkward around him and now, we've been given a role together? And a married couple in all things?

UGH!

***Len***

With the damned teacher's final instructions, we were dismissed. Students shuffled out for the next subject but flat stayed at her seat, her face on the desk. She looks disappointed with what Mr. Yohio appointed her. Who wouldn't be? After I did those things to her, and suddenly, we were a married couple. It's really a breather.

I sighed and stood from my seat.

I was about to leave the room but she was still slumped on her desk.

I should really go now but my feet won't move. Instead, I went back to her.

"We'll be late for Spell-casting," I said.

She sat straight. Her blue and red eyes looking straight at the board and she sighed. "Len… let me get this straight," she said and she stood up, facing me. Her eyes met mine. If I didn't know, I could've thought that she could actually see, but the dark reflection in her eyes said otherwise. "I…" she took a deep breath and hesitated, she started to fidget with her hands and I saw her ears turn red.

I remembered what Gakupo said to me, "…go tell her already what you really feel and say sorry."

I clenched my hands into a fist but released it.

"I… I want to-"

"Rin." I said before she did finish. She gave me a look asking what so I answered sincerely, "I'm sorry…"

Her fidgeting stopped. "That's okay…" she smiled rather painfully. "I knew it," she sighed, "I shouldn't have assumed."

Oh no. She got the wrong idea.

I shook my head, "It's not that!" I shouted because I somewhat panicked. She's getting the wrong idea here and I don't want her to think of that. "I… I…" I got tongue-tied. At this moment? Really, Len? "I… I…" and now I'm stuttering. What's wrong with me? The heck Len! Tell her!

"I…." I'm now beet red.

Why is it so easy to tell other girls that I love them but when it comes to Rin… it isn't easy as it seems anymore?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Is it because I love her that much that even words isn't enough to express it?

.

.

.

"Len?" she called me.

In the times that I'm with her, she was definitely childish, no appeal, and obviously not my type but later, I get to know her. She is tough and strong but deep inside she is very delicate, she easily feels lonely, a crybaby and she's very thoughtful of other people.

Eventually these things happen to me.

Hearing her voice is like music to my ears.

Seeing her smile and laugh feels like heaven for me.

In contrast, looking at her cry makes me feel I'm drowning with her tears.

Whenever she's afraid, I want to be there to comfort her.

Whenever she feels alone, I want to be by her side always.

It happened without me noticing that she had become a dream that I know.

She became my dream.

TADA!
