Rin's POV

After my meltdown with Kei ended, he offered to drive me home. I couldn't turn down a ride home, but I honestly think he just asked me to see where I lived.

When I was in his car, I was silent. I knew he kept stealing glances from me until he finally said something. "Hey...Rin-chan...what is going on? I don't want to be a nosy dog, but...I just want to know."

I swallow. "I...I don't want to talk about it."

Kei stares at me for a long time. I just stared out the window. "Uhm...do you want to eat out or something? I really want to get to know you," he says awkwardly.

I shake my head with a light smile. "No, but thanks. I really want to go home."

He nodded, looking straight ahead. "Okay."

The rest of the ride was in silence.

I arrived in front of my house five minutes later. Before I got out of the car, Kei grabbed my wrist, pulling me back down. "Wait. I should get your cell number! So, I can see if you're alright."

Wow.

You got my address and you're about to get my number.

Without a word, I write it down on a slip of paper that he gave me. He grinned when I gestured it to him.

"Good night, Rin-chan."

I nodded, slamming the car door shut.

Well, he was successful. He knows where I live, and he has my number too! I guess he can leave me alone now.

That's when I get an idea.

I gasped, running inside the Beach House. I threw my water bottle on the couch, snaking out my phone. I got to Len's name on my contact list and I quickly click on it, ready to send a message.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Rin Kagene

Hey. How are you? I know you're still in good shape - you and your girlfriend.

I gulped at the word. I started to shake and I had to lean on the door to keep my balance.

I decided to continue.

I've been strong - for only thirty minutes though XD

I finally know you pain, Len. How you've been waiting for me. Now, I'm waiting for you.

God, how I wish I could see your smile again.

No, it's decided.

I'm going over there. Whether that girl is there or not.

Bye! :D

With that noted in my head, I made my way outside. But, this time, I only saw Kei outside my house. He was leaning against the side of his car with crossed arms. Under the dim sunlight, he looked really…

Ugh. I don't even want to say that word!

I rolled my eyes. "Kei...what are you doing here?"

He smiled, pushing himself off his car. He started to walk towards me and I started to walk back. That's until I found myself hitting the front door. Fudge cakes!

He placed his hand beside my head and my breath caught in my throat. Why does this remind me so much of Len?!

"Why did I have a feeling that you would be getting out of your house?" Kei asked, leaning into my face.

I didn't say a word. Maybe he'll go away if he gets frustrated enough from my silence.

"Rin-chan? Are you okay?" He leaned back.

I was still quiet.

"Say something, Rin-chan."

I ignored him.

"Rin-chan~" he pouted.

I looked at him, really tired of this. "Please, go away. I need to go somewhere, and I don't need you in my way." I pushed past him until he grabbed my hand. I turned around with fury in my eyes. "What do you want?!"

Kei scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Uhm...Look, Rin-chan...If there's something you need to talk about, I'm here to listen. I'll give as much as advice as I can. I just don't want you to leave when I'm starting to like you."

I narrowed my eyes. "You don't like me."

"Yes, I do!"

"As a friend, at least. We've known each other for an hour. Get out of your daydreams, Kei." I scoffed.

His grip on me tightened. "It feels like I've known you for years, though."

I ripped my hand away from his, wiping it clean with my shirt. "Don't give me that, Kei. You're making such a bad impression on me."

"But…" He breathed out. "How about I start over? How about we start over? I'm sorry for being such a creeper in the beginning - I couldn't resist myself."

I thought about it.

Kei's actually a nice guy when you think deep on it.

Sure, he gets on my nerves. But, at least he cares.

Besides, who else do I have to talk to who actually knows Len?

And, I won't be using Kei as a rebound for Len, either!

So, I pondered some more before getting my answer five minutes later.

"Okay...But, don't think I'll warm up so easily to you."

Kei gave a look of relief. "Thanks, Rin-chan."

I smiled, which is the first time I smiled in front of him (a real smile, too). "Sure."

And, so, I talked about all of my problems that I've been having ever since Len confessed that he liked me, which was almost a month ago. Kei was actually listening very intently on it. He wasn't like Lola and Meiko, who would always complain and blabber in between my explanations before doing it over again. And Miku and Luka is just as worse.

But he…

He actually listened to me.

I finished my explanation when the sun fell and the moon raised in the night sky. By this time, I had dozens of tissues and oranges surrounding me.

But, we didn't just talk about my problems.

When I took a break from talking, he dragged me to Len's room and showed me Len's secret diary that he had when he was a little boy. Oh my God, it was the cutest thing ever! It had little doodles in it with a chicken scratch writing that neither of us understood. We laughed together.

Once we were done reading Len's diary, we went downstairs and to the beach outside. I took off my Converse and ran around in the sand, hollering to the setting sun. Kei followed after me, grabbing my waist and holding me tight to his chest. I bursted in laughter, slapping his shoulder to let me go. We twirled around until we collapsed on the sand.

Finally, we went back into the house and grabbed some oranges. There were tissues on the couch just in case I had another breakdown.

I did.

Several times.

But, Kei was there to hold me tight and whisper sweet-nothings in my ear.

I hate to admit it, but I felt really content that night.

That next morning, I woke up with sore legs. I guess its because of the hardcore dancing, running, and twirling from yesterday.

I wince when I walk out of my bedroom. I need a hot bubble bath, and fast.

And, I did so.

When I was done, I had on a grey sweatshirt with black leggings and my damp hair in a bun. I didn't feel like blow-drying it.

Once I was in the living room, I saw someone sleeping on the couch. I raised an eyebrow. The crap?!

Then, when I looked over, it was Kei.

I stared at his sleeping body for a while. He looks cute when he sleeps. But, I've seen better.

Len, for example!

I reached over to try to wake him up, but suddenly, he grabs my hand and pulls me to his chest. I gasp, feeling him wrap his arms around me. "Kei!"

"Y'know...I was awake when I heard you come down the stairs. Be quieter next time."

I blushed, trying to get out of his grasp. "L-let go of me, Kei!"

"Nah. You smell good~" he cooed, sniffing my hair.

My face heated some more. "Y-you're acting like a c-creeper again!"

"Ah, I'll let it slide for now."

"NO YOU WON'T!"

After what seemed like forever, I got out of Kei's grasp.

I went to the kitchen, ready to cook breakfast. I felt like a mother, cooking breakfast for my child. My child being Kei, of course.

Once breakfast was done, we decided to eat outside, on the beach. We watched the ocean slowly sway in motion while chewing at our eggs.

"My summer is going to be over in another month and a half," I announced, kinda sad.

Kei glanced at me. "Really? Are you still going to school?"

I nodded. "Yeah. I'll be in my last year of high school next year. Then, I'll be an adult with adult responsibilities and all of that other bullshit," I grumble, sipping my orange juice.

He laughed, throwing his head back. "Ah~ it won't be that bad!"

I snapped my attention to him. Then, I think back on it. School really was never that bad for me. I just procrastinate all of the freaking time. That's why I was doing late night homework on the day before the last day of school!

Crap.

I shrugged. "Do you attend school?"

He shook his head. "Nope. I'm homeschooled because I travel around too much."

"Why?"

"Did you forget? I'm a professional dancer, babe!" He grinned. "You got to catch up, Rin-chan."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah…"

A few hours passed and Kei suggested for me and him to go out to eat dinner at Vocaloid Cafe today. I refused because I didn't want to go out today.

"It's not going to be a date, Rin-chan," Kei said, crossing his arms.

I sighed. "I'm not going!"

"But, Len and Haruka, or whatever her name is, are going too! It's going to be a group date!"

I widened my eyes, ignoring the rest of his words.

Len and that girl?

"Rin-chan?"

I smiled at him. "Alright. I'll go."

Kei blinked before grinning. "Awesome!"

Yep.

Completely.

So, when we arrived at the cafe, we waited for Len and the girl. I asked Kei what her name was, but by the way his voice was, I knew it wasn't right.

My stomach was churning anxiously as the seconds passed. What will I do if Len comes? What would I say? How will I act? Should I smile? Should I greet him? What about the girl? How close are they really?

Finally, when the door opened, in came the beautiful couple of Crypton. I swallowed down the lump in my throat.

But, when Len noticed me, his eyes widened.

I smiled lightly at him. "Hello, Len."

He kept staring at me with wide eyes.

Did I do something wrong again?

A/N: Not such a big cliffy like all of the others, but it's still a cliffy!

And, dammit! These chapters are just getting shorter and shorter!

God...I'm addicted to Kei x Rin right now. They're cute when you think about it! :3

Oh, and Haneul x Len is cute too :P

ANYWAY!

I can't wait to talk about the "Cafe Encounter" with Rin and Len! I have sooo many ideas that it's crazy! Ya'll are going to be freaking out so bad - I CAN'T WAIT! :D

And, thank you to everyone who gave me POSITIVE reviews! It means a lot! I know I lost a lot of readers, but that's okay because I'm still going strong until I finish this! :D
