My Annoying Step-Brother
A/N: Please enjoy chapter 10~!
First update of this month! Woohoo!
Disclaimer: I don't own Vocaloid.
Len's POV
I woke up feeling sore. I wince, trying to sit up, but I could only feel more pain strike me. I looked around.
I'm in my room.
I could barely remember anything that happened last night. Did I seriously faint? Again?!
God, I need to keep it together.
I look down to my hands. I tried to pop them to get the blood rushing, but it felt so sore. Did I punch the wall or something?!
I turn to the window beside me. I shifted slowly so I wouldn't feel the pain again. I opened the curtain- it was morning. The sun greeted me with its bright smile. I rolled my eyes at it, shutting the curtain closed.
I sighed, moving my legs to the side of my bed. I really need to use the bathroom, but it's so far away! Should I just crawl to the bathroom? Should I run for it and deal with the pain later? Or, should I take it reaaaallly slow?
Just then, my bedroom door opened. It revealed Rin holding a tray of food, just like last time. Once her eyes connected with mine, her face lit up. Oh God, why is she so cute?
She set the tray on my desk quickly before lunging herself at me. She wrapped her arms around my body. I was shocked, to say the least. "Len! You're awake, you're awake, you're awake! I'm so happy. I thought I lost you…"
I took this chance to wrap my arms around her small frame, too. I breathed in her scent secretly. I loved the smell of her tangerine perfume. I'm getting intoxicated already. "Why would you think you lost me?" I whisper against her shirt.
I heard her sniffle. I widened my eyes. I-is she crying? "Y-you didn't wake up for t-two days...I thought you died on me...Please, don't do that ever again, L-Len."
I chuckled. She's actually worried- and for me! I feel so special.
I held her tighter against me. I want to stay like this forever. "You'll never lose me, Rin. Even when I die, I'll always be by your side. No matter how cliche it sounds."
She laughs. I love her laugh so much! "Th-thanks, Len." She released me and that made me sad.
Rin reached up to her face to wipe her tears, but I beat her to it. My thumb swept across her soft cheek. Her eyes widened at me. I shot her a gentle smile with my hand still against her face. Then, her face turned a rosy shade of pink. Oh man...my heart is beating so fast right now!
Sadly, she moved her face so my hand dropped to my side. I frowned when she turned around to the tray behind her. Her skin is so soft- I wonder how it feels when I-
STOP BEING A PERVO, LEN!
She turned back around. "Okay, Len, try not to move too much. You're too sore and weak, and you need as much nutrients as you can get."
I nodded. I slowly moved my legs underneath the blanket. My future wife helped me out by placing my pillow against the wall so I can lay my back on it. I gave her a bright smile as a 'thank-you.'
Once I was settled with my food in front of me and Rin beside me, I asked, "What exactly happened to make me black-out for two days, anyway?"
Rin stayed silent for a few seconds. "You and Rei got in a...fight."
I raised an eyebrow. "So? We always get into fights."
"Physical fight," she corrected.
I blinked. So that's why my fist feels like a brick fell on it! "Do you know what we fought about?"
Rin cleared her throat awkwardly. "It was...over me."
Then, thousands of memories started to come back to me. I punched Rei because he said that he would take Rin away from me, then he punched me back, Rin came to break us apart, and I fainted because of how much blood I was losing.
"Have you talked to Rei lately?" I question, trying to get away from the subject that we fought over her.
Her face screamed relief. "Yes, I have. He said that he was going to stay with my Dad because he wanted to leave you alone for now."
Wow.
He's smart to do that.
"And, he told me to tell you that he won't come near me ever again."
I blushed very, very red! I looked at Rin's face. She seemed confused to no end! That's good, that's really good. I'm glad Rei didn't tell her that I liked her. "Well...all that matters is that he left you alone. I couldn't stand to see you cry like that."
Rin smiled weakly at me. "Thank you, Len."
I nodded at her before digging into her delicious cooking. Man, could this get any more better?! Rei left me and Rin alone, Rin's taking care of me, and I'm eating her cooking! Again!
Ah~ this is the life.
Once I was finished with the food, I laid back into my bed.
Rin took up the tray with a smile. "Good. It'll be a while until your strength fully comes back. Until then, I want you to get a lot of rest and eat a lot of food."
I nodded at her. "Will do, Rin. Thank you so much for being there for me. I owe you a lot."
Rin waved her hand at me dismissively. "Ahh, it's alright! Don't act all soft on me now, Kagamine. I don't need your 'Boy Hormones' on me."
I blushed. "H-hey! It's not 'Boy Hormones'! I'm just thanking you!"
Rin laughed. What an amazing laugh. "Whatever, Len. Anyway, go back to sleep. I want to see your bright self bouncing around the house soon, okay?"
My heart bumped against my chest. Does that mean she loves seeing my brightness radiating off of her?
It's official.
Rin Kagene is going to be my soulmate for life.
Time Skip: One Week Later
My bruises healed faster than I expected. My muscles felt like they turned back to normal, and I could finally walk around without feeling light-headed.
All week, I have planned a special surprise for Rin to say my thanks for taking care of me.
So, that next morning, I was happy to get up. I hopped out of my bed and went straight to my bathroom. After doing my daily routine, I threw on black jeans, a red T-shirt, and a red plaid flannel that went around my waist.
I skipped down the stairs to see Rin chewing at her cereal cutely. I put on a grin of my own before going over to her. "Hey, Rin!" I greet.
She looks up at me. She smiles lightly. "Hey...why are you dressed up? Is the studio unflooded now?"
I shake my head. It's true: the studio is still flooded. I don't even think anybody came to check it out. I have such a tempting feeling to dance that it aches me. "No. But, I have something planned for us." I leaned forward to her.
Surprisingly, she didn't lean back. Instead, her face lit up like a firework. "Really?! Again?! Geez, Len...where do you get these plans from?"
I poked her nose. Her smile widened. Is it possible that she's kinda attracted to me, too? "It's just a 'thank-you' present for taking care of me all week."
Rin giggled. God, I'm going to end up losing my control. "Alright!" She leaned back before taking her empty bowl and throwing it in the sink. "I'll get dressed."
"You better." I winked at her. She stuck her tongue at me while making her walk upstairs.
I sighed, leaning my back on the kitchen table. I feel like I'm on the top of the world!
It's also a possibility that Rin likes me just by her actions. She's not glaring at me or telling me to go away anymore. I mean, that doesn't mean if she has feelings for me or not. But, it does
mean that she thinks I'm human instead of some annoying monster.
Then again, I'll just be her annoying step-brother. Haha!
Once Rin was dressed in another leg-revealing outfit, we settled into the limo. I guess she's right- I do have 'Boy Hormones'! I certainly need to control them before I end up doing something I'll totally regret!
I whispered to the chauffeur the place that I wanted to go to. He nodded and started to drive.
My excitement was out of this world! I turned to Rin with a bright smile. "I can't wait till you see where I'm taking you."
Rin shrugged. "As long as we're not going to have that same experience like-" She widened her eyes as she cut her sentence off. My eyes trailed down to my hands, already feeling anger flowing through me. "I-I mean, I hope it'll be as fun as last time!" She gave me an apologetic smile.
I waved her off. "It's okay, Rin. It's in the past, now. We shouldn't worry about it."
She stared at me before nodding slowly. "Okay...Sorry."
I smiled weakly. "Don't say sorry. Like I said, it's in the past."
She nodded again.
I turned towards my window, letting out a breath. As much as I don't want to say it, I actually do hope we don't have that same experience as last week.
We arrived at the "secret place" a few minutes later. I thanked the chauffeur with a bow and he nodded back at me. Then, he drove away.
Rin seemed confused. "What is this?"
I smiled, crossing my arms. "A karaoke bar."
She literally choked on her own spit. "K-karaoke bar?!"
I scoff, turning to her. "Is there anything that you like to do for fun?"
Rin huffed. "I like picnics in the park and long-walks on beaches." She rolled her eyes.
I blinked. "Seriously?"
"NO!"
I flinch. "Okay, okay, chill out now."
She rolled her eyes again.
I sighed, taking her hand that is sooo warm and soft. "C'mon, Rin! I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as anybody else would. Besides, you used to sing when you were younger anyway! What's the big deal?"
Her cheeks puffed out. Oh God, can she get anymore adorable?! "I stopped singing because it was lame. It's not my style at all, and it sounds like I breathed in helium when I sing!"
I was surprised, to say the least. And here I thought I knew everything about her. "Well...I'm not the best singer either, but I still enjoy it. And, it's only going to be me in the room. Stop being a little wuss~" I pout, dragging her into the bar while she was yelling at me to let go of her.
Now, I was in front of the lady behind the counter. She looked me over before placing a flirtatious smile on her face. Oh God. "Hello, what can I help you with?"
I just now noticed: Rin stopped her yelling, too.
Weird…
"I want to get Room 7. It's the best!" I exclaim.
She giggled. Ew. "You're lucky- it's open right now. You may go ahead, cutie."
I shot her a weird look before making my walk to Room 7.
When I closed the door, Rin plopped on the couch with a crossing of arms. I sighed. "Are you mad at me, Rin?" I question, sitting next to her. Oh God, don't be mad at me, Rin! I wouldn't know how to deal with it!
She shook her head, turning her back to me.
I sweat-dropped. "It sure seems like it."
"I don't like that lady…," she mumbled.
I raised an eyebrow. "Why…?"
"S-she was flirting with you and it was gross. Plus, her hair was all over the place! And, her outfit was not on point! She looked like a monster!" Rin ranted.
Then, I realized something.
I felt a smirk grow on my face. "Oh~ is Rinny-kins jealous~?"
Her face flushed. She snapped her attention to me. "O-of course not! Why would you think that, creeper?!"
I scooted closer to her. "Jealous?" I urged.
"N-no!"
Even closer. "You sure?"
"Yes!"
Much closer that we were touching legs. "You positive?"
Can her face get even more darker? "Yes! N-now pick a song already! You're lucky I haven't walked out yet!"
I laughed before going to the song book. My eyes immediately saw a song that I knew. I grin, grabbing the remote and going to the song. Rin watched me.
I clicked on the song once I saw it.
She scoffed. "Gee? Isn't that a K-pop song, or something?"
I nodded, shooting up from my spot on the couch.
"Are you seriously going to sing Gee?" she asked with disbelief clinging to her voice.
I shake my head, throwing her a microphone. "I'm not going to sing it." She caught the mic with ease. "We're going to sing it!"
She shook her head. "No, don't you even d-"
"Aha! Listen boy!" I sang. She cringed at my voice. "You're turn," I mutter.
She glanced at the lyrics on the T.V. "My first love story…," she grumbled.
"My angel and my GIRLS!" I yell into the mic.
"Oh, God," Rin whispered, covering her ears.
I point at Rin to sing the next lines. "No, please stop," she said firmly, pushing me away.
I stuck my tongue at her. "Neomu neoum meotjiyeo nunee nunee bushyeo soomul motshigesso ddeollinuen geol~"
Rin rolled her eyes.
"GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY! GEE GEE GEE GEE BABY BABY BABY!"
Rin felt embarrassed as she watched me do the Girl's Generation dance. What? I watched that freaking MV at least a hundred times! The dance is so tempting to learn!
"Oh, neomu bekkeureomo cheoda bolsu obseo sarangeh bbajyeoseo soojoopeun GIRL!"
I could hear Rin laugh.
"Naneun naneun babongabwayo, geuda geuda bakke moreunen, BABO! Geuraeyo geudael boneun nan!"
"Yeah!" Rin exclaimed.
"Neomu banjjak banjjak numu busyeo!" I sang before I pointed at Rin for her part.
"No no no no no!" she exclaimed with a giggle.
"Neomu kkamjjak kkamjjak nollan naneun!"
Another point.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!"
"Neomu jjarit momi tteollyeo!"
"Gee Gee Gee Gee Gee!"
"Oh jojeun nunbit!"
"Oh yeah!"
"Oh joheun hyanggi!"
"Oh yeah yeah yeah!"
And, we continued to sing without breaking eye contact with each other.
When we were done, we started to drink at our own water bottles.
"That was kinda fun," Rin said with a grin.
I nodded at her. "Told you that you would have fun!"
"Yeah. I should've had more faith in you." She laughed.
I laughed with her.
Then, a thought came in my head:
Should I confess to Rin that I like her or wait?
I blush at the thought of it. Isn't it too soon? I found out about my feelings for her just last week. But, it felt like forever.
Man...this is so difficult!
After a few more minutes of thinking, I decided my answer.
I looked at Rin who was still drinking at her water. "Hey, Rin?" I call.
"Hmm?" she mumbled against the straw.
I sighed to myself. Now or never, Len.
I stared at her straight in her eyes. She gave me a confused look. "Rin…"
She nodded, still drinking her water.
I smiled gently at her.
"I love you."
Right then, I felt the water that she spit out hit my face.
A/N: MUAHAHAHAHA! I'M THE MASTER AT CLIFFHANGERS!
WOO!
XD I really liked this chapter! And no, I don't like it because I put a K-pop song in it!
I feel like I should do "Len's POV" more often in my chapters instead of just "Rin's POV" all of the time. I have more fun with "Len's POV." What do you think?
Oh, and I don't own the SNSD's song, "Gee." :3
Anyway, please review for the next one! Let's get to 120 reviews!
