I feel like I'm going to type this chapter part today and part tomorrow (now today) in the morning. I must get ready to write a good chapter! Well, let's see how Gumi's and Sonika's party turns out…
Gumi and Sonika's House~~~
Normal POV
"I didn't know Gumi and Sonika had such a big house," Len says as he walks into the party scene with Kaito. People are barely coming as well, hanging out in the back yard while the sun is slowly setting down. There are several games out too, and an array of people with strange costumes.
"Hello Len-kun," a group of girls say as they walk past them. One girl with a short tutu winks at him and makes a hand motion for him to call her.
"This is going to be an awesome party," Len says, watching her walk away.
"Down boy," Kaito laughs and looks around. There are fake webs all around with random spiders at places and a stream of lanterns and lights for later on in the night. Trees cover up the back yard, sure to make a spooky effect in the night. "But I agree. I'm even planning of doing something special tonight."
"What are you thinking Zeus?" Len asks jokingly, referring to his friend's Greek god costume.
"Do you think Meiko is around?" Kaito asks.
"You mean Athena over there?" Len asks, pointing to the short red haired girl with a Greek goddess costume. "Oh, how cute. You two are matching."
"Shut up cat," Kaito says and flicks Len's soft black ears. "Why are you dressed as a dumb cat anyways?"
"I'm actually a seductive cat," Len says and Kaito rolls his eyes.
"Let's stop standing here and join in the fun."
"And so then I asked Teto if she would rather have a boyfriend or bread and she said-"
"Oh my gosh! Let's go bob for apples first!" Rin yells childishly, pointing to the game.
"Thanks for interrupting Rin," Aito says, mocking a fake frown.
"Where's Kaito?" Luka asks, not listening to anything that the two had just said. She finally spots him in the bobbing apple game with Len and a girl with a short angel costume. "Let's go over there Rin!"
"Yay!" Rin cheers and follows her over to the spot.
"I love being ignored," Aito sighs. Suddenly, he feels someone tap his shoulder. He turns around and sees Gumi in a fairy costume. "Oh, hey Gumi."
"Hello," Gumi says and smiles. "So you were able to make it."
Aito nods and inspects her costume. "Cute costume by the way."
Gumi looks up at him and blushes so red you can mistake her as Elmo's sister. "T-t-thank you Aito-kun!"
Meanwhile, in the Bobbing Apple Game~~~
Rin's POV
This is so exciting! The decorations are so cool and spooky and everything here looks fun! I don't think anyone could ruin this-
"Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?"
Crap. Len's here, of course.
I roll my eyes as I see the girl in the tight angel costume giggle and blush. Really, blushing from such a stupid and lame pick up line? And especially from that perverted cat?
I glare at Len then turn away to Luka, who is dreamily looking at Kaito.
"This isn't your normal bobbing for apples game. You will still bob for something, but everyone must have a partner. You will grab what is floating in the water and hand it to your partner, without using anything but your mouth. If the thing falls, you must leave it alone," a girl in a flapper costume explains. She fixes the black boa around her neck and continues. "You two must also be holding hands as well. Letting go results in immediate disqualification."
Okay, when did this become a couple game? I face palm myself and look around. There is absolutely no decent guy to pair up with! But I wanted to play! Luka is nervously asking Kaito if they could be partners on my left. Good for her, at least she gets to have fun.
I start walking off to a tree to sulk until a hand grabs my hand and pulls me back.
"They're a pair!" a girl with a golden mask yells as she brings me to Len and pushes us together. The girl nods and glares at me. The masked girl laughs and runs off before we can say anything.
Pair? WHAT THE HECK?
I look over at Len and see him smirking.
Oh dear.
I really want to be with that tree right about now.
"Now that all the pairs are set up, let me go through the directions again," the girl says as she struts in front of all the buckets of water. "In front of you are a variety of floating objects. One partner must grab one with their mouth and hand it over with their mouth. And so, the other partner must set down the object with their mouth in the bucket on the other end."
"Don't worry," Len says as he grabs my hand. "I'm good with my mouth."
Wipe that cheeky grin out of your face idiot! I feel my stomach turn and look away. How can this get any worse?
"Make sure to hold hands or you're kicked out. The first couple to finish wins whatever is in here," the girl says and holds up an orange envelope with a fake spider closing it. "Blah, blah, don't cheat, blah. Everyone, get ready."
I look over and see Kaito grab Luka's hand, making her face turn red. I look back to Len and see his hand outstretched for me.
"Don't get any ideas," I mumble and grab his hand roughly.
"Everyone ready?"
"Yes!"
"Ready, set, GO!"
I dive my face down, the cold water hitting my face. I flinch back and wipe off some water with my left hand. I reach back in and feel around for something. The easiest thing- an apple. I bite down on the tip and hold it then rise and wait for Len to get it. Len looks around for a spot and leans in, biting down on the skin of the apple. He pulls me along as he drops it in the other bucket. He leans down next to pick up another thing.
Good. We're not too close to each other, so I can't lose my cool.
"Mnph."
I snap back and see Len with a small tag in his mouth.
"Get it Rin," he says while biting down on the things, but I can see the smirk in his eyes.
Nervously, I close my eyes and lean in to bite the candy. Soon, we're just a few millimeters away and I can feel myself acting like how I did yesterday after school. My throat dries and I can feel a blush rise to my cheeks as I open my eyes and see him close up. I bite down on the tag, our lips brushing. I shiver and spit it out in the bucket immediately, hearing Len laugh behind me.
I quickly bend down and dive into the water. Maybe this cold water will get rid of my blush.
This goes on for a while, everyone racing to grab things and hand them over to their partners. But it's easier for real couples because they're comfortable with their lips brushing across one another. Meanwhile, girls like Luka and I are blushing like crazy.
"Looks like many couples are reaching the final thing- the smallest thing of course! Who will pass it?"
I look into the bucket and see a small candy floating around. I dive in and place it inside my mouth. Wait, it's in my mouth, how am I supposed to hand it to Len?
Other couples stand in confusion until one guy boldly leans in and kisses his girl, making her mouth open from shock. He uses this to his advantage and tries to get the candy with his tongue.
WHAT?
Len turns my face back to face him and I blink. What is he going to-
Before I can even tell what the heck is happening, Len's lips are on mine. My left arm thrashes around while he grips my right hand. His tongue is licking my bottom lip, requesting entrance to get the candy.
I can't let him enter my mouth! I mean- but- I- the candy!
Suddenly, I feel a hand slowly run up my back, making me gasp as I shiver again. And with that gasp, Len enters and starts violating my mouth. I can feel his tongue inside and my eyes are wide open, but his are closed for some reason. Finally, he lets go from the kiss and leans down on the other bucket, spitting out the small candy.
I place my hand on my lips. Len Kagamine was just inside my mouth. His tongue was all over me.
"Looks like we have our winners!"
Len Kagamine. The guy I met a week ago. Was in my mouth.
"And here's your prize," the girl says, handing Len the envelope.
Len. Freaking. Kagamine.
Surprisingly, he is good with his mouth.
I blush and slap my head. No- I need to get away from him! I need to get some fresh air!
"Good job Rin," Luka says as she walks over to me with Kaito. Her face is red and she has the happiest look on her face.
"Sorry that I almost kissed you. Your boyfriend must be mad," Kaito says.
"Boyfriend? I'm actually single," Luka says shyly, playing with a lock of her pink hair.
"Great job Rin," Len says and our eyes meet. I feel another shiver go down my back and hide behind Luka's back.
"Rin? You okay?" Luka asks, turning her head to look at me.
"He freaking violated my mouth!" I yell, pointing to Len. "My virgin mouth… is gone," I whine dramatically.
"Don't act like you didn't like it," Len laughs and I walk away from Luka's back.
"Like it? I'm going to have nightmares from now on!"
"By the way," Kaito says, interrupting their quarrel. "What's inside the envelope?"
Len and Rin look at the orange envelope in Len's hands. "Oh right," Len says and rips off the fake spider, opening it and pulling out a lighter orange letter.
"Dear two winners from the game,
Congratulations! At the end of the night you may come up on the stage with others who have won and grab a Trick-or-Treat bag. Beware, for not all prizes are good."
"Sounds like Sonika to have a twist ending," Len concludes.
Oh right. Sonika's that girl he was making out with Thursday.
"Sonika the girl with the saliva problem?" Kaito asks and he nods.
I didn't know Len likes her. Well, not really likes, but why would he use her like that? Some of these girls out here genuinely like Len and would do anything for a kiss, and he would lie anything to a girl for a kiss. And so, that kiss that happened back there…compared to whatever he's done…meant nothing. So I shouldn't bring it up again.
"Well, we did come in second," Kaito says to Luka, who was standing on his right. "And that declares that we are a lucky pair! And so are you two Len!"
Luka blushes from the attention and my eye just twitches.
"And so, let's go complete the other games!" Kaito announces and grabs Luka's arm, pulling her along. "You coming guys?"
Well, I can't actually leave Luka with the likes of Len. And she can stutter in front of Kaito the whole night and make a huge idiot of herself. I look at Len and at his smirk on his face.
"Are you in Alice?"
"Of course I am."
For Luka, of course. No other reason.
Luka's POV~~~
Gah!
Today is definitely the BEST day ever! I can't help but stifle a squeal inside myself. Outside, I may be blushing and following Kaito and the others, but inside, I'm dancing and jumping all around.
I can't believe I'm with Kaito. And now I'm going to be Kaito's partner for a while more!
The way our lips brushed against each other quickly in the apple bobbing game, that's got to mean something right?
"Hey Len, look over there!" Kaito yells and points to a small stand with few people around. I can't tell what's going on in there. "You want to go?"
"That stand? Of course!" Len replies and Rin and I share a look of confusion. What is it?
"FEAR FACTOR HERE WE COME!"
Oh crap. I can feel my face lose it's color as Kaito drags me over to the game. I'm too busy thinking about the horrible things I'm going to have to endure eating that I don't realize the guy already telling the directions. He has a cool zombie costume though.
"You partner will have to feed you the food. If you can't keep it in, you're disqualified. The couple who can go through the three course meal first wins!"
"You're going to be the eater," Rin says quickly to Len.
"Don't be so cross Rin," Len says as she narrows her eyes at him. "Your body is a wonderland and I want to be Alice- agh!"
Len doubles over and sits in the seat and Alice takes away her fist, being the one smirking now.
"It was just a joke…"
Those two are just so cute! I wonder why their arguing reminds me of someone…
"So would you like being the eater?" Kaito asks and I immediately turn.
"What? I mean, I have a weak stomach," I reply, shyly rubbing my arm.
"Then I'll eat the food," Kaito says with a smile. "Just make sure to feed me slowly, okay?"
Kaito, why are you so cute?
I smile and nod, a blush falling upon my cheeks. We both take our seats across each other with the other pairs and wait for the signal.
"Remember- no throwing up! Not only is it disgusting- but you're eliminated," the zombie dude repeats.
"Trick…or…TREAT!"
I guess that's the start signal. I grab a spoon and scoop whatever is in the first green plate. It looks like green mush and smells a lot like pepper and… vanilla? I can already feel my stomach turn just at the sight. I slowly feed Kaito, his mouth opening slightly for me to insert the spoon.
Beside me, Len is yelping as Rin relentlessly attacks him with the food.
"Just open your mouth Len!"
"Wait up!"
Teto's POV~~~
Hm, so one of my plans has gone down correctly. Rin may be laughing at Len with the green muck all over her face, but at least they're together. Now to move onto phase two- getting a scare out of these people! But it's a very long process…
Now where's that white dress that I brought?
Len's POV~~~
Rin and I wait for Luka and Kaito in the sidelines. I'm still wiping off the course one meal as Rin laughs and points at me. Seriously, this girl is annoying. I try to use a rather awesome pick up line and she punches me in the gut.
Then she forces the spoon in my mouth! And of course from recoil I'm going to spit it out!
And now we're standing here.
I can hear Rin still laughing at my expression. I look over and see her holding her stomach , trying to calm her laughter with a big smile on her face. I have to admit, she looks a bit cute.
A BIT.
We still have to remember that this she-devil almost made me throw up.
After Kaito and Luka return from being eliminated during the second round we go around looking for another game.
"That one looks interesting," Luka says, pointing to a game. We shrug and decide to go after all.
It turns out to be charades, which I don't really enjoy that much. But people do make fools out of themselves, so it's funny. And I laugh even harder when Rin goes up there and picks a piece of candy. She takes off the wrapper and reads the message, eating the chocolate inside so she won't forget not to talk.
I'm not sure what she's acting out though. Whatever it is acts really dumb. Maybe a monkey?
In the end, none of us can guess it so she hands over the wrapper to me.
"Act like your partner," I read out loud for others. "Rin, you're so cruel! I do not act like a monkey!"
"You want to bet on that?" Rin asks as she sits back down beside me. I narrow my eyes at her and she glares back. Soon, we're having our own staring contest while others are still playing charades.
After three more games, we follow the crowd to the front of a small stage placed in the front with Sonika and Gumi standing in the center.
"The stars have finally come out and so has the darkness! We'll soon be having a Halloween Treasure Hunt! If you'd like to join, you may go over by the left side of the trees and wait there for Gumi and I," Sonika explains. "As for others, you may stay around here and talk with each other or eat what's on the refreshment table."
Whispers explode as people turn to their friends and ask if they want to join in the treasure hunt.
"Sounds like fun!"
"But it's dark!"
"What if there's something in the forest?"
I turn over to Kaito, Luka, and Rin and see if they're up for it.
"I am," Kaito says with a grin.
"Of course!" Luka says and I turn to Rin, who's eyes are looking at the dark forest. She shakes her head that's gradually turning pale.
"Yeah…" she says.
"Everyone who's going to participate please follow me!" Gumi yells, waving a pumpkin sign to distinguish her in the crowd. After everyone huddles up, Sonika walks to the middle while Gumi carries a box of flashlights.
"Now, before you go off to the forest to look for the pumpkin trick or treat bag, I must warn you of-"
"Sonika, we're skipping that part, remember?" Gumi yells quickly.
"What? The fact that we've heard strange noises coming from the forest ever since we moved in? That you can see a woman wandering around in a white dress, enchanting people to their de-"
"Sonika! Quit!" Gumi yells and drops the box. "Ignore her. She's just lying."
Everyone turns to each other and starts whispering. Is she really lying? Or is Gumi trying to cover something up? Well, Gumi is in Theater III, so she must be a great actor.
"Your goal is to wander around the forest in pairs with a flashlight, looking for a pumpkin trick or treat basket," Gumi explains.
"But beware! There are a lot of trips and cobwebs!" Sonika pipes in and Gumi face palms herself.
"Remember to stay in partners for safety."
"Or else!"
Gumi drags Sonika away as we all line up to get a flashlight. I turn on the light and shine it over to Rin. I expect a look of annoyance from the bright beam but she just nervously looks to her left and right.
Why is she nervous?
"Ready…set…GO!"
"Ready to go Rin" I ask as Rin clutches her flashlight.
"Yeah, I guess."
Somehow, not only are we with Luka and Kaito, but now Aito and Miku are with us.
"What's that thing hanging on the tree?" Luka asks and Rin stiffens up, hiding behind me.
"Relax Rin, it's just a tape," Aito says as he plucks it off the string.
"And a tape player down here," Kaito says, handing it over to Aito. Aito places it inside and presses "Play".
"Hello teenagers, I want to play a game."
"Holy cheese it's Jigsaw!" Kaito freaks out.
"Greetings…and welcome. You all came to this Halloween party looking for a fun and nice evening, but you might get more than what you looked for. Ever since you stepped into the forest you've been looking for a pumpkin trick-or-treat bag. The answer for the hiding spot is somewhere not in the stars, and not in the dirt. Once you realize what I'm talking about, you will have a better understanding. Make sure to stay in pairs, for others are seeking the same prize. And beware of the woman wandering around. Live or die, make your choice."
I shiver as I hear the last sentence. I know this is all a game, but it is still really creepy.
"Let the game begin."
"This is awesome!" Kaito yells and starts walking along with Luka. Aito mutters something under his breath and follows the two with Miku by his side. I look over and see Rin shaking and looking around nervously again.
"Are you okay?" I ask, kind of worried. Her face is really pale.
"Of course I am," Rin snaps almost immediately. "Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, we are in the dark, in a forest, all alone, with maybe a killer wandering around-"
"I don't need to be reminded!" she yells and I shut up.
I don't know why, but I want to try to calm her. So, I grab her hand as we walk around. To my surprise, she doesn't take it back. Instead, I feel her squeeze my hand and stand even closer to me. I can feel her Alice costume sway against my pants and somehow, in this darkness, all my senses rise up. I can smell the distant scent of cooked goods back at Gumi's house. I can hear the trees sway from the slight breeze. I can taste the recent chocolate on my tongue. And most of all, I can see Rin's face in the moonlight. Sweat is hanging onto her forehead as her eyes dash around, trying to be extremely cautious. Her soft lips are placed in a frown and part open as we hear soft music begin to play in the forest.
Rin immediately stops as she hears the music and grips my hand even tighter.
And just then, a pale white figure appears from behind one of the trees. She isn't walking towards us. She's facing ahead and walking to the left. She has red hair and a mask on to cover her face. The white mask has streaks of blood running down. Her white dress is flowing freely in the wind but for some reason, her feet are clean even though they're bare.
Rin stifles a scream and I see the girl turn her head over to face us slowly. She change her direction and starts moving towards us.
"Let's run!" Rin yells, pulling my arm away.
"And the prize?" I ask.
"Screw the freaking prize! HURRY UP!" Rin orders and doesn't wait for me, pulling my arm along as she begins to run. Good thing I'm athletic because this girl is running across the grass like there's no tomorrow. I look back to see the girl standing there, staring at us.
Minutes later, Rin stops and lays against a tree, letting go of my hand.
"I don't think she was following us," I say and get ready to tease Rin until I see her sink down into the ground. She pulls up her knees to her chest and holds onto them tightly, ducking her face in them. I can hear her sobbing in between ragged breaths, whimpering softly.
I don't know what to do. I've never been in a situation like this. I look down at the broken girl below me and kneel down, studying her face. Heavy drops of tears are falling down her knees, her hands clutching her knees tighter.
I didn't even think of what to do- I just grab her and hug her tightly. At first her hands are above my back with her eyes wide in shock from the close contact.
"It's alright, just calm down," I breathe out and I feel her hands clutch my shirt. She rests her head on my shoulder and I can feel my shirt becoming wet quickly. But I don't care, as long as she's letting it out. After a few minutes I feel her head rise and the hold come loose.
"Are you alright now?" I ask as she lifts her face to see mine. Her eyes are red and a few stray tears are falling down.
"Yeah," Rin chokes out from her dry mouth.
Even though she looks like she's had the worst night of her life, I fight back the urge to kiss her.
Rin slowly rises to her feet then extends her hand to me. "Let's go back to the party."
Kaito's POV~~~
Somewhere along the way, Luka and I had gotten separated. Yeah, I'm not sure how that happened either.
I sigh for the fifth time and look around in the dark. Suddenly, I see a girl in a white costume come walking towards me.
The…the killer!
I let out a scream as I feel her hand on my arm and shut my eyes in terror.
"Stop screaming idiot. It's just me."
I open my eyes and see a blue twin tailed girl with an angel costume on.
Miku.
"Aren't you supposed to be with Aito?" I ask, looking around for the guy.
"We got separated somehow," Miku says and leans against a tree. "I don't even feel like playing this game anymore."
"Yeah, me neither," I say and we both laugh. For a second, I feel like I'm back in the past. Those times where Miku and I would stay up late at night talking to each other about random things and laughing. I've never felt such at ease with anyone else.
"Miku…" I say and look away. "What happened between us?"
"What do you mean by that?" Miku asks.
"Why did you…become so distant?"
I can hear Miku sigh. "Kaito, there are just some things you will never understand."
Enraged, I clench my hands and turn back to her. I'm tired of all this talk about me not understanding. I am tired of her always dodging my questions. Why is this girl trying to hide? What is she hiding?
"I'm sick and tired of this."
Miku looks up at me, surprised.
"I'm just, I'm so tired of this," I say weakly. "I don't understand why you keep hiding from me. We used to be so close. I was the guy who helped cheer you up. I was the guy who was always there by your side. We used to talk all night. I used to be your everything, remember what you said that night?"
"I…I don't know what you're talking about," Miku says and avoids my eyes.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" I yell out. "Now I'm just some guy who you pass by the hallway without a second glance! What the hell happened to cause this? I want to know, no, I deserve to know!"
Miku remains quiet as soft music reaches our ears.
"Was it something I did?" I ask quietly, "or was it because of Len? Were the rumors true? Did you really only get to know me to get close to Len?"
"You don't understand…"
"Of course I don't! Look at this mess you've made of me! Were you just playing with me? Do you enjoy seeing me hurt?" I yell, my voice breaking. "Is this fun for you Miku? Do you enjoy seeing others in pain? Are you glad with what you did? Are you happy with Len? Was all this even worth it? Did-"
"JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!" Miku yells, clenching her hands into fists. "JUST SHUT UP! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING! YOU NEVER COULD AND YOU NEVER WILL!"
I can see tears falling down her face as she grits her teeth and starts walking away.
"Miku…" I grab her hand only to get a slap.
"D-don't touch me!" Miku yells and runs off. My hand slips up to my cheek, trying to soothe the stinging pain.
Back at the party~~~
Rin's POV
As we walk back out into the party we can see others coming back as well. Looks like someone has already found the bag. Soft music streams out from two stereos in front, people dancing to the tune. So that was the music we heard in the woods…
But who was the girl
"Worst treasure hunt ever," Luka says as she walks out of the forest with Aito. I look at the two, confused to why they are both red and panting.
"What happened?" I ask and Aito looks away.
"I'll tell you later," Luka says and looks around. "Where's Kaito?"
"It's always Kaito this and Kaito that- what the heck makes that guy so amazing?" Aito mutters under his breath.
Miku steps out of the forest, calm and collected, although her eye make-up is ruined, for some odd reason. Shortly after, Kaito comes out alone. Luka rushes over to apologize and I sigh and turn over to Len who is looking at Miku. Why is he looking at her? I mean, not that I care.
Back at the center of the party, people are again crowding up at the stage for the prize ceremony. Behind Gumi and Sonika are eight bags and one big bag for the treasure hunt game.
"Everyone, please gather around!" Gumi announces.
"Get your damn butts over here!" Sonika roughly yells.
They may be twins, but they certainly do act differently.
"For all those who won the games, please come up here to retrieve your prizes. Bring your envelope as proof."
Len and I walk up on the stage along with Luka and Aito and six others.
"First up- the Couple Bobbing for Apples Challenge," Gumi announces and we step up. I can feel Sonika's cold glare directed at me for standing beside Len.
"You may pick any bag, but be careful, because although they are "prizes", not all of their demands are sweet."
Demands?
Len and I look over the bags. They're all the same size and look around the same weight, so we just randomly grab the fifth bag. Len hands it over to Gumi and she takes off the small tag around the ribbon, looking at the words.
Please don't let it be anything embarrassing.
"You two must share the final dance together," Gumi says and hands the bag back.
Just a dance? That's all. I sigh with relief and smile. That isn't too bad.
Other pairs are forced to give up their bags, say something romantic to their partner, or do some weird stunt. Finally, the winners of the treasure hunt step up.
Luka and Aito share awkward looks and look away as they turn red.
"This big bag is yours," Gumi says and Sonika rushes to read the demand.
"Your demand is to kiss one another."
"What?" Luka yells as Aito turns red.
Hoots and hollers rise out of the crowd and people chant for them to lock lips.
That must be really embarrassing… But Aito looks happy.
Luka and Aito turn to each other. He says something to her, but I can't hear because everyone is being so loud. She nods and hesitantly leans in. Should I even look at this? Will I be okay?
Aito leans even more and a blush spreads deeper across their cheeks. Suddenly, Aito grabs Luka's shoulders and brings her in, lifting her chin and kissing her softly. I stand there emotionlessly as they kiss right in front of me. Aito lets go of her shoulders and gently lets go of her chin as well.
The crowd cheers and hoots for Aito's boldness and Luka blushes even more.
Luka does not know how lucky she is.
I look down and force a smile on my face, holding back tears. I clap along with the others as they cheer for the two and we all walk down. I keep my smile on.
I can't let them see me like this.
I can't cry because of that kiss.
I'm not his girlfriend anymore, so it shouldn't hurt.
He likes Luka.
And he's happy.
So it stands without reason that I should be happy for him too.
But then why does it hurt so much?
Later on, people break away from the crowd and start dancing with one another.I walk over to a chair and sit down. This night has not gone well at all. Everything I do is always for someone else. I came to this party for Luka. I endured Len's lame lines and Luka's squeals for her to be with Kaito. Then, in the forest, I accidently let out my vulnerable side. And to the worst person I could imagine- Len Kagamine. He saw me crying and I freaking clutched his shirt!
I am so stupid!
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
"What are you beating yourself up for?"
I look up and see Len looking down at me. He gives me a creepy smirk like the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland and I groan.
"What is it? Did you come over to tease me?" I ask. "I'm not in the mood."
"I just came to ask for directions."
"Directions to where?" I ask.
"To your heart," Len says with a wink. There he goes again with those horrible lines.
I can't help but laugh at him. "That has got to be one of the worst ones yet."
"Good, I made you laugh," Len says as he sits beside me. "So what are you doing over here in this corner Alice?"
"Well, nothing has gone right for me tonight," I reply as I see Sonika freaking out about the music system not working.
"Well, the final dance is next."
"Yeah, so?"
"I can help make one thing right," Len says and I roll my eyes. This guy seriously doesn't get what it means to give up. "What's your answer?"
I look back over and see some guy in a Phantom of the Opera costume walking up to the stage. He takes the microphone.
"I guess I have nothing better to do," I say casually and stand up.
"Don't sound too enthusiastic now."
We walk over to the people standing around waiting for a song to come on for the final dance.
"Are you sure you can sing?" Gumi asks they gray haired boy with the mask. Who could he be? There are a handful of guys in the school with gray hair…
"Of course," he says and flashes everyone a grin. Who is this guy?
As Len grabs my hand I can see girls turning their heads towards me and whispering things. I look at him closely and I have to admit, the cat costume looks really cute on him.
Normal POV~~~
Miki looks up at the boy singing with hearts in her eyes.
'This has got to be him,' Miki thinks and opens up her phone. She opens up a message from SoundlessVoice09.
'I'll be dressed in a Phantom of the Opera costume, but a full mask on. I hope to see you there : )'
Miki smiles and blushes as she looks down at her maid costume. She twiddles with the frills on the apron.
'If you ask me, this soundless voice is beautiful…'
Kaito looks over at Meiko and sighs.
'I'll have to ask her later. My mood has been ruined already.' Kaito thinks and looks back at the couples dancing. Miku is on the other side, staring at Len dancing with Rin. Kaito drops his gaze to the floor and sighs.
Len looks down at Rin and smiles at her slight blush. She meets his gaze and smiles back at him as they sway back and forth to the music. It is oddly relaxing for her.
"Thanks Len," Rin says abruptly and flushes. "I mean- what happened at the forest."
"No problem, I was glad to help," Len says and laughs when she stumbles. "Calm it there Alice. Trying to lean in for another kiss?"
"Len, you're such an idiot."
Yay! I finished! It was so fun writing this! I hope you like this chapter too~! By the way, that ending song is "Moondance" by Michael Buble. And of course the other song was "Butterfly on your Right Shoulder" by Len and Rin Kagamine (edit: had to delete the "Butterfly on Your Right Shoulder" lyrics)
Edit: I had to delete the "Moondance" song lyrics because it is not in the public domain. You can still listen to the song on your own in the ending scene.
