Rin's POV
I bowed to Rei who smiled back at me. We were currently outside the Beach House. "Thanks for this 'hang-out', Rei," I thank with a smile.
Rei nodded. "Yep! I had fun. Next time, make sure you plan it out, 'kay?"
I winked at him. "Will do!"
Rei smiled. "Call me tonight, too. Oh, and tell Len I said hi."
I blush at the thought of talking to Rei again! Geez...I feel like a lovesick school girl…
"Anyway," Rei said, getting me out of my thoughts, "I think I should head on home. I'll see you later, Rin." He waved as he walked back to his car.
I also wave with a bright smile.
I sigh to myself and do a little twirl on my toes before going inside the house. And, once I was inside, I regretted it instantly.
Len was on the floor with a red face and, by the way his chest was heaving up and down, his breathing was not normal.
My eyes widen as I rush to his side. "Len!" I shout, crouching down to his head. I gulp, wondering what I should do in these types of situations. That's when I remembered about when Rinto would get sick sometimes.
I nod to myself, remembering what to do first. I place my hand on Len's forehead. He's burning up!
I sigh. Why was I being so stupid to leave him home alone by himself? It's no telling how long he's been knocked out like this…
With difficulty, I managed to lunge him over my shoulder. I walked up the stairs and arrived in front of his room. I blink, realizing I've never been in his room before.
Geez, I hope he cleans his room, at least!
I braced myself before opening the door. And, to my surprise, his room was completely clean! It looked as if a speck of dust wasn't anywhere.
Which is a relief.
I tried to place Len on his bed gently, but it only ended up to me throwing him on it. I covered him with blankets and I stared at him for a while. He looked like he was having trouble breathing.
This is all my fault…
I rush downstairs to get a wet towel and a thermometer. Once I did so, I went back upstairs. Placing the wet towel on Len's forehead, I throw the thermometer in his mouth. I waited for it to beep, and when it did, I widened eyes at the number. "105?!"
I shook my head. Then, my eyes moved over to his face again. I felt kinda bad for him. I sighed, moving a few strands of hair from his face. "Get better soon, Len. For me."
Even though he probably couldn't hear me, it felt good to let those words out of me.
I look around the room to find a chair to sit in to watch him until he wakes up. Once I did, I pulled it over to his bed and settled on it.
That night, I promised myself something.
I won't ever leave Len's side.
Ever again.
Len's POV
I woke up with a pounding headache. I groan, touching my forehead only to find something on it. It was hot and wet. I took it off of my forehead, and it revealed to be a towel.
I start to vaguely remember what happened to me.
Rin left to hang out with Rei. I was home alone, watching an anime and eating my soup. And when I stood up to go use the bathroom, I started to feel light-headed. I quickly grabbed the couch to keep my balance at check. But, my muscles seemed to stop working and I fell on the ground with a huge thud. That fall resulted in me hitting my head against the hard, wooden floor and I fainted. Everything else was blank.
I groaned as I sit up. I look out the window, finding it to be nearly night-fall. I look over to my side and my eyes widened. There, in the slight moonlight, laid Rin in my wooden chair, sleeping. Had she been the one to take me to my room and care for me?
Well, DUH! Who else lives here?!
True, true!
I reach over to her shoulder slowly because I feel like my hand may just snap off at any moment. I shake her slightly. "R-Rin…," my voice is so hoarse that it hurts. "Rin...w-wake up…"
Ugh! No use! My voice is too hoarse and quiet for her to hear me.
Then, I think of an idea. It may be devious, and she may punch me afterwards, but this is the only way I can get her to wake up.
I reach behind me to find my pillow. I brace myself before launching it directly at her face. As if on cue, she jumps awake. "WHAT, WHO?!" she yells and I had to hold back my laughter.
Then, her eyes connected with mine. We stare at each other for a while until Rin shots up from her chair. I tensed, ready for her to slap me/punch me/pound on me, but she didn't! Instead, she exclaims, "Oh! You're awake! Okay, time to make the soup for you!"
I blink, watching her rush down the stairs. I'm so freaking confused.
A few minutes later, she come back up with a tray. Flipping on a lamp, she placed the tray in front of me. On it was a banana, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a glass of iced water, and a bottle of cold medicine.
Okay...I'm getting kinda suspicious now.
I narrow my eyes at Rin. She blinks at me. "What?" she says, shrugging.
"Why are you being so nice to me, Kagene?" I ask, my eyes narrowing even more!
Rin rolls her eyes with a scoff. "You're sick, stupid! Why would I be mean to a sick person?"
I pout my lips. "Because you hate me~"
Rin sighed, dropping on her chair. "I don't hate you, Len. And eat you food! I want to you to get better soon."
I stared into her eyes. "Have you been...sitting right there this whole time?" I gesture to the chair.
Rin's lips quirk in a smile. She reached up to her hair and untied it from its ponytail, or whatever its called. Then, she ran a hand through it a few times before letting it sit down her back. I never really noticed this, but...her hair is kinda...pretty. It's long, shiny, full of volume, and-
WAIT.
PAUSE.
Why am I thinking these things about Rin Kagene?!
Ew!
"Yes, I have. You should thank me!" Her lips only widened more.
I make a face, turning back to my soup. "Ew no. In your dreams."
She huffed. "After all I've done for you!"
I snap my attention back to her. "What have you done for me, hmmmm?"
She crossed her arms. "I had to carry your dead body up these stairs, throw you on the bed, cover you with God knows how many blankets, wait for hours for you to wake up, AND I just made you a meal!"
I blinked, slightly taken aback.
Wow.
Did she really do all of that stuff?
"I have a hard time believing you, Kagene," I mumble.
She shrugged. "You don't have to believe me. But, if you don't eat you freaking food already, I'm going to make you believe me by pounding you with my fist!" Her eyes were screaming rage.
I gulp, nodding frantically. Geez, this woman can get scary when she needs to!
I turn back to my soup and immediately dig in. The soup warmed my body, the water cleared my dry and hoarse throat, and the banana helped me emotionally!
After I was done eating, I felt so much better.
"Now, time for the medicine," Rin called.
I widened my eyes. "N-no! I can do it by myself!"
Rin rolled her eyes. "No, Len. I watched you while you were eating! You seemed to be struggling, so I'll do it! It's not like I'm going to choke you."
"Nooooo! No no no! Nope! Never- no," I said, scooting away from her. It's not like I'm scared- Liar- but, I just don't like cold medicine! It's like poison! It's so freaking gross!
Rin rolled her eyes. "C'mon, Len! What're you so afraid of? If it's me, then I'll be more gentle-"
"No! It's not you! It's the wretched poison!" I point to the bottle she held in her hand.
She groaned. "It's not poison! It'll make you feel better. Just stop being stubborn and take the damn thing, Len!"
She hopped on my bed, but as she got closer, I started to panic. "NOO~!" I yelled at the top of my lungs like the loser I am!
Rin pulled the bottle closer to my lips, but I slapped her hand. The bottle flew in the air, and it was like in slow motion! Then, once the bottle hit the floor, it blasted and out came the syrup.
We both stared at the syrup on the floor.
It was silence.
Then, she turned to me with fire in her eyes. I widened my eyes.
"YOU IDIOT! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"
That's when she grabbed my hair and she started to pull at it! I CAN'T EVEN DEFINE HOW MUCH THAT FREAKING HURT!
"AH! LET GO! YOU'RE HURTING ME!"
"DIE YOU UNFAITHFUL LITTLE KID!"
"Okay...Let's start over, and let's be calmer," Rin sighed out, having a little cup full of the syrup in front of me.
I gulped, still remembering what happened just a few minutes ago. I feel like I'm going to be having nightmares now.
When she pressed the cup against my lips, I kept them sealed.
She sighed. "Leeennn~ please drink it," she said a little bit too sweetly. What the crap?!
Rin crawled over to me again and I just huddled in a corner. That's when I was trapped between her and that evil cup!
"Len, you're so handsome and smart, and oh my gosh! Your dancing is soooo hot! Please, please, pleeeaaassssseeee drink the medicine!" Rin cooed.
Uh-oh...I don't want to admit, but my heart just did a flip.
NO. DON'T.
She doesn't mean it! She did this to you a few weeks back for revenge! Don't fall for it!
"Len-kun."
I stiffened at that pet name. Oh, my. By the way my name rolls off her tongue is so hot and it turns me on-
NO! STOP!
I squeezed my eyes tightly.
"Len-kun~ please drink the cold syrup~ it's soo good for you! You'll be better before you know it- trust me." She batted her long eyelashes at me.
Oh, geez!
The moon's light just cascaded her body in such a perfect way. It made her hair shimmer and her pale skin glow. Her cerulean eyes were so bright in the dimly lit room- she's so beautiful right now.
My heart started to beat so quickly- it needs to stop before I lose it! I may just accidentally pounce on her and try my best to explore every part of her body.
ARGH.
WHY IS THIS SO FRUSTRATING?!
I gulped, turning my back to her. I covered myself up with the blankets. "I-I'm going to sleep. Don't even try to wake me, either!" I exclaim, shutting my eyes as tight as they can possibly go.
"Aww...I thought I had him there," even though she whispered it, I could still hear her clearly. "Well, I'm going to stay here until you drink it, Len!"
I scoff. "Go ahead. I don't care."
I open my eyes, only to see Rin's face just a few inches away from mine. I tense up. It seems like she's still awake because her eyes aren't closed all of the way.
We didn't move anything. We just stared at each other.
It was pure silence.
My eyes trailed down to her hand that was against her chest. She was still holding onto the cup.
I gulp, looking into her eyes again. They were now fully gazing into mine.
Why is she so beautiful?
Then, I realized something.
Oh no.
This can't be happening!
NO!
I had…
...fallen in love with…
...Rin Kagene!
A/N: WAHHH!
Isn't this just breath-taking?!
AHAHAHHA!
Len likes Rin, but Rin likes Rei.
Does this remind you of something? :3
Now, I know what you're thinking:
"ah, why is this soooo rushed?!"
First of all, this isn't rushed! Rin and Len have known each other for a month!
Second of all, Len is not going to confess to Rin anytime soon because he's a loser.
Third of all, DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS.
I already have this story perfectly planned out for each chapter! You just gotta be patient!
Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed it!
