~Moth Dilemma~
...
"'Cause I'm just a girl, little 'ole me
Don't let me out of your sight!"
Rin sang, dancing around in her room on a piece of cardboard as her stage and using her yellow hairbrush as a microphone.
It was about 9:30PM, the night almost reaching its darkest time but Rin didn't care. Even though it was Sunday and she'd most likely be tired in class the next day and scolded by her parents she didn't care.
"I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights!"
Rin seductively rubbed up her body at the "pretty and petite" part before shaking her finger in a "no" way, making the sleeves of her loose pajamas swoosh slightly. They were her favorite pair, button up cotton pajama top with matching cotton pants in a light yellow with purple music notes.
"Oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
So many reasons
For me to run and hide~"
Rin sang, not noticing the fluttering of her white curtains to the right.
"I can't do the little things I hold so dear
'Cause it's all those little things that I fea-KYAAAAAA!"
Rin screamed when a huge drown thing buzzed towards her at high speed.
She ran so fast she couldn't remember even running when she got out of her room and across the hall to her older brother's bedroom. Rin pushed the door open mercilessly and made a dive for Len's bed he was luckily not in at the moment. Finally, after she felt she was far enough away from the offending creature, she looked behind her.
The moth was striking the bright light bulb of her room with horrible aim but every few seconds the buzz of beating wings burning on glass could be heard.
Len, being the overprotective and loving brother he is, immediately snapped his head to Rin once the door was flung open.
"Are you okay?" He asked, swiftly looking over her to check for any injuries or clues on why she was so distressed. She didn't reply but she didn't need to. One following of her frightened gaze and he knew what had nearly given his sister a heart attack.
Len sighed and stood from his desk.
"It's not going to hurt you, y'know. If anything it helps, killing all those more pesteri-"
"They are gross and out to kill me!" Rin argued in a tone to leave no disagreements.
Len groaned, already knowing what was to come next.
"Len, kill it!"She cried, clinging to his arm.
As if mocking her, the miller moth swooped just outside of her bedroom door before going back inside, making Rin squeak and push herself farther on the bed.
She looked up at Len with an expecting look.
"Just turn off your bedroom light, turn on the hall light, and leave your door open. It'll leave you alone and go to the hall. Besides, it's past your bedtime." Len advised, accidently bragging about his bedtime that was an hour and a half later than hers.
Rin sent him a glare before reluctantly climbing off his bed and lagging back to her room.
After a few days of experience with the plentiful little demons she knew the first places to check were the ceiling at the doorway, the walls within four feet of the door, and the other side of the door. After she was sure it was safe she took a cautious step into the room, reaching for the light switch…
When she felt something fuzzy.
"KYAAAAAA!"
Len barely had time to blink before his sister had huddles in a ball on his bed, wiping her left hand off profusely.
"Shh!" ordered as the faint sounds of the moth again crashing about in her room faded in the background.
"You're gonna wake mom and dad up." He cautioned, now trying to comfort his sister on the bed.
After a few moments she had calmed down considerably, still a bit jumpy when she thought he felt something crawl on her.
"I'll go kill it, alright. Where is it?" Len said softly, still embracing her.
If he were to be honest, which he usually was though it was such a sensitive topic, he probably—definitely enjoyed the simple sibling hug more than he should of. It was evident every second of his life when all he could think and worry about was her that he had an unnatural affection for his sister. It was obvious from an outside view, even their parents tried to keep them separated with separate rooms and after school activities. It seemed the whole world saw it except for her. That fact brought him both relief and frustration.
"Len?" Rin asked with a bit of annoyance that indicated she'd been calling his name for quite a while.
"Hm?" He replied, still a bit dazed.
"You said you'd kill it…" She reminded him.
"Oh, yeah, that."
Len reluctantly pulled away from her to stand from the bed, helping her up as well.
Rin, of course, made Len walk blindly ahead and made sure to maintain a minimum distance from him to protect her from the demon that was in the form of a furry, scaly, ugly moth.
To put it short, Rin hated and feared moths… well all insects really. Just moths seemed to be at a record high this particular month.
"Do you not know how to organize Rin, geez…" Len mumbles as he glanced at the mess of papers on her desk.
Rin usually would have retorted but she was too busy frantically searching for the insect.
After a few moments Len's slightly cheerful voice broke through the sounds of sifting and searching.
"Oi, I found it!" He whisper-yelled to not wake their parents.
Len lifted his hand to strike at the still moth when multiple things happed at once.
One, Len's foot somehow slid on the cardboard. Two, he accidently grabbed Rin in attempt to regain his balance. Three, Rin slipped with him. Four, they ended up on Rin's bed in a very questionable position.
The twins froze, staring at each other in utter shock with their lips connected and bodies intertwined.
The shock faded to fear when reality set in. For Rin it was more like: Len is going to hate me, what am I doing! But for Len it was a more complicated time…
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
My dreams finally come true and our parents are going to walk in and send me to some foreign country for years, but not before Rin disowns me as a brother and beats me to a pulp… oh my god!
The awkward moment stretched on until the surprise of a lifetime happened.
Rin closed her eyes and made the lip-to-lip accident a real kiss.
Len wasn't sure whether to wake up for school or kiss her back before he ruined all chances with the girl he'd been love struck with for years.
He chose the latter of course.
Somehow the innocent kiss became a heated make-out session and Rin's pants became moans that made Len wish he was just an innocent child again that didn't even know what desire meant. But a certain body part of his was definitely proving how teenage male he is.
Soon Rin's shirt was halfway off and Len had begun sucking on her sensitive neck when the buzzing of furry wings rang in their ears.
Rin instantly reacted, nearly knocking her twin completely off the bed with one hard push and nearly flew out the room, screaming all the way down the hall.
He huffed in annoyance and watched the "innocent" insect land on his shoulder, giving Len a silent laugh of mockery.
"I really hate you." Len said aloud, mercilessly squishing the moths with his bare hand.
A/N: Thanks for reading! I wrote this fic based partially off my own life last night. I was on Skype with my friend with a song playing in the background when I looked up to see a huge moth flying toward my light and I immediately dropped my laptop and freaked out, begging my father to kill it. XD …then I saw another one on my curtain later that night and hid under the covers all night, unable to sleep.
Song: Just a Girl
Artist: No Doubt
P.S: There is a moth infestation in the West if you aren't already aware. Hasn't been this bad in years according to state officials.
