My Annoying Step-Brother

A/N: Please enjoy~!

Warning: This chapter is bit angst-y.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid.

Rin's POV

I ran and ran, and I didn't look back even once. I didn't look back to see if Len was chasing after me again. I didn't look back to see if Len was okay. I didn't look back to see if Len had just walked off.

I just ran.

I don't know if I could trust Len or not. I really want to, but...my heart tells me I shouldn't.

I didn't mean the words I said. They were completely harsh and heart-breaking, even for me. My brain is telling me to go back and say sorry a million times to Len. But, my heart is saying for me to keep running.

I arrived at the house while panting for breath. I quickly fished out my keys from my shorts and jammed the key inside the hole.

"Rin! Come back here!"

I widened my eyes at the familiar voice. "Please, please, please…," I whisper to myself, hoping the door could unlock faster. Once it did, my face lit up and I pulled myself into the house.

I raced up the stairs to my room, swiftly shut the door, and locked it. I sighed, dropping to my knees. I was panting more than I thought I would.

My mind was flooded with so many thoughts that it was ridiculous. I wish I could just die right now. Not only did I make a fool of myself, but I lost someone who I was now starting to loosen up to.

I slapped my forehead. Argh! Why am I so stupid?! Why can't I just trust Len?! Len and Rei have been knowing each other for seventeen years and I still didn't believe Len?!

I'm going to have to apologize to Len. But...I don't think I could ever face him again after the shattering words I said to him.

Suddenly, I heard the front door open and close. I widened my eyes. No! He can't be here now!

"Rin?" Len called. No...he's walking up the stairs. "Rin!" He's in front of my door. And, now, he's knocking on it. "Rin, I know you're in there."

"Please, go away." I'm on the verge of tears.

He tried to twist the doorknob, but it's locked. "I'm not going to go away until we talk."

I sniffled, walking over to the door. I placed my forehead on it. "Why...why do you care so much about me all of a sudden?! Why can't you just go away a-and...and never come back?!"

Why am I saying all these harsh words again?

Len chuckled. "Because...I care about you too much to let you go so easily."

I furrow my eyebrows. I unlocked the door and opened it. "What are you saying, Len?"

Then, his face contorted into what looked like confusion. He scratched at his head, and he seemed like he was thinking deeply on something.

I sighed, waving him off. "I don't have time for this," I mutter before pushing past him.

"Wait, Rin, don't go anywhere!" Len called after me before taking my wrist. I still had tears in my eyes, and at this point, I don't think they'll ever go away.

"Why can't you just say something? I'm not wasting my time on you." I tried to escape his grasp, but it only tightened, and it hurt. "Len, please let go. You're hurting me," I whimper softly.

Len's eyes glinted in sternness. "Not until you tell me why you like Rei, and why you won't believe me. Do I need to remind you that I've known him for seventeen years and that we've been living together for fifteen? I know more about him than he does." His eyes softened. "Why can't you just believe me?" Now, it sounded like he was about to cry.

All because of me.

Oh, God...please don't cry.

"Rin...I don't know what to do right now." Suddenly, he placed his forehead on my shoulder. I flinched visibly before relaxing. I don't know where my mind was at, but I laid my cheek against his hair.

He sniffled. "Rin…"

"Mmm?" I don't think even real words can come out of me.

"Don't leave me."

I blinked. What does he mean by that?

"I-if...if you and Rei ever end up going out, don't leave me. Live here with me until I find someone who I belong with. Then, we can both go our separate ways." He lifted his head slowly from my shoulder, tears stretching down his cheeks. "Promise me that."

I thought.

And thought.

And I did some more thinking.

This isn't a very easy thing to agree to. My mind is flooded with so much thoughts at once. I hate this so much. My instincts want me to believe Len! I mean, like he said, Len and Rei are twins.

And, besides, who do I trust more in this situation?

Len held me tighter. His lips curled in a soft smile. "Promise me, please," he urged.

I swallowed hard. I opened my mouth to speak. "I...I don't think I could give you my answer right now. I'm too confused, and...I don't know...I just can't think. And with this that's all happening…" I sighed. I can't even make my sentences sound correct! How pathetic am I?

Len nodded, stepping back. He wiped all of his tears away. "Okay...take as much time as you need. I'll be waiting." He shot me another smile before taking his leave out of my room.

The same question still remains in my head:

Why am I so stupid?

Len's POV

I can't think right now. My mind is full of blankness.

As I walk down the stairs, I only stared at my feet. I have this aching feeling in my chest that I'm going to faint here and now.

I wish this was all a horrible dream and that I can wake up. Sadly, it's not.

I can't stand it. I have to leave, or I'll go insane.

So, I quickly grab my things and shove them in my pockets. I opened the doors, feeling the cold night air slap me across my face. I ignored the annoying breeze and I ran.

I didn't know where I would be going.

I just wanted to get away from that house.

Away from her.

The moon wasn't shining as bright as it should. It was hidden behind dozens of grey clouds.

I stopped my running to stare at the night sky. Night time is very beautiful if you just sit back and stare at it.

I shook my head. Rin could be running after me as I speak. I need to hurry somewhere far, far away.

I reach a sidewalk, but I don't stop to take a breath. Farther and farther I go into the city of Crypton without stopping.

That's until I accidently bump into someone. I stop and I begin panting heavily. I bow my head multiple times, even when I don't care.

"Wait...Len?" a familiar voice speaks.

I lift my head, looking at the person I had just bumped into.

Rei.

A sour flavor roams in my mouth.

His face brightens at the sight of me. "Aye~ Len! How've you been?" he greets, wrapping an arm around me.

I fake a smile, gently shrugging his arm off of me. "I've been okay. Just around…"

Rei nods.

An awkward silence fills the air.

He clears his throat. "Well...what're you doing out here so late? It's midnight!"

I roll my eyes at him, crossing my arms. "I could ask the same from you."

He laughs a disgusting laugh. I cringe at the sound. "You know I'm a bat! Don't go there, Len!" He laughs some more.

Soooo funny.

Rei notices that I'm not laughing at his "joke" and he wears a worried expression. "Len, are you sure you're okay? You're acting different…"

The fire in my chest started to burn, and I couldn't control it. "Of course I'm not okay! You're a lying, playing, loser that doesn't have anything else to do in his life, so you mess with girl's emotions! Especially to Rin! And now...you've gone too far…" My voice was dark and low. I'll apologize later for my actions, but I just have to let all the words that I've been building up flow out of me.

Rei widened his eyes. "W-wait...what?"

"You heard what I said. Talk before I do something we'll both regret." I advance towards him.

He starts to walk back, holding up his hands for defense. "Brother, h-hold on...I wasn't trying to hurt Rin, or anything. I-I just wanted to hang out with her."

I stop in my tracks, narrowing my eyes. "That 'hang-out' made her fall for you. You know exactly what you're trying to do."

"Can't I just explain?" Rei's voice is wavering.

"Every word that comes out of you just makes me more and more angry," I threaten. I clench my fists together tightly, not caring if my palms were bleeding.

"Len...is it possible that you...l-like Rin?"

I glared at him. He flinched. "Don't change the subject on me! Why don't you leave Rin alone and crawl to all of your personal sluts? I bet they'll treat you good."

I turned on my heel with a burning fire coursing through my veins. I decided I should leave now before this situation gets too heated up.

"No."

I stop. "What?" I hiss, not turning around.

"I said no. I like Rin, and you can't take her away from me. Why don't you back off and let me have her? Are you too scared because you know that you can't have her?"

I swiftly turn around. My closed fist contacted with Rei's cheek. He staggered a few steps back before giving me a dirty look. Then, he lunged at me. We rolled on the concrete together, throwing as many punches as we can at each other.

I was in a state that I couldn't get out of. I didn't think about the consequences. I forgot that he was my brother. I only thought about how I need to have Rin- and all to myself without Rei stopping me.

"STOP!" a familiar voice shouted into the night.

We stopped immediately, turning our bruised faces to the source of the sound.

"Rin!" Rei gasped, quickly getting off of me.

Rin ignored him. "Are you two insane?! You are brothers! Twin brothers! Why are you both punching each other's guts out?! Oh my God, what happens if I didn't come in time?! Why are you doing this?!"

Rei pointed a finger at me. "He was the one who started it! He said that he would take you away from me, and I didn't even do anything! He was going to kill me, Rin. I just had to defend myself!"

I shake my head weakly. The blood tasted gross against my tongue. "No...don't believe him, Rin…"

The world was fading.

"Please...don't…"

She was fading.

"I'm sorry…"

I was fading.
