The Arcade was rather spacious with rows of games and machines everywhere and surprisingly not many people were inside, which will make it much harder to hide if a student from their school spots them.

Rin looked around nervously while Len seemed completely calm and relaxed as he pulled her further into the Arcade. "So what game do you want to play first?" He soon questioned. Rin looked at Len with a wary look. "I don't think its good for us to be seen here together." Rin muttered.

"Rin-chan, don't be so nervous. I'm telling you no one is going to find out about us." Len said while Rin frowned. "I highly doubt that."

"Fine, if one rumor about us gets out in school, I promise I'll find a way to stop it before it spreads alright?" He reassures and Rin only raised a brow. In normal circumstances, she wouldn't even believe it at all since it would probably be impossible for them to promise such a thing, if it was a normal person but then again...this was the great Len Kagamine. He must have some connections somewhere so it wasn't really impossible if Rin thought about it a bit more clearer.

"Alright but if something happens its not my fault." Rin sighed and Len grinned. "Good, now back to my first question, what game do you want to start with?"

Rin looked around the arcade with a slightly strained look. "I don't know...why not you pick?" Len nodded. "Alright then, we'll play over there." He declared as he proceeded to drag the girl towards the nearest machine.

Rin wondering how he can be so carefree when there is a chance that someone might see them and ruin his chances of forming a relationship with his crush. It was kind of hard to read his thoughts and intentions.

Maybe he is secretly a playboy that he didn't care about being seen...or was he just naturally this carefree?

Rin frowned as she wondered what to think about this guy, until she realized they finally stopped in front of a large screen.

"A shooting game?" Rin said as she stared at the sign above it. "Yup, just some good old shooting." Len jokingly said. "Its not too hard to play actually so I think it'll be fun if we played it together."

"Um...I'm not actually too familiar with games like this..." Rin muttered. "Its fine. All you have to do is aim then shoot, as easy as that." Len encouraged as he picked up the small toy guns in front of them. "Here."

Rin looked at the plastic gun with uncertainty before reluctantly took the toy. "Alright, let's play!" Len grinned cheekily while Rin looked at the screen warily. She had a bad feelings about this...

"Rin-chan...you're suppose to be shooting the monsters." Len sweat dropped. "Not at the people."

Rin glared at the screen as she once again pulled the trigger, missing one of the monster and surprisingly shot one of the normal people in background. "And that monster was right in front of you..." Len mumbled.

"Ugh, I give up! This thing is hard!" Rin complained as she tightened her grip on the toy gun.

"Its okay Rin-chan." Len smiled warily. "Maybe some practice will do you some good." Rin huffed then shoved the toy gun into Len's arms. "This is pointless and a waste of time."

Len only laughed. "You don't have to be so grumpy over it." He said. "Its just your first time so you can't expect to be good at it right away." Rin glared at him. "Hmph. Well, if you think that's true, why don't you play the game." She declared. Len raised at brow at that. "Rin-chan, I don't think its really mature of you to challenge me to a game like this."

"Hey, are you saying I'm childish?" Rin frowned. "Or could it be...you really can't handle this game?" She smirked. Len held back a smile at how amusing this was. Was she really serious?

"Rin-chan, I'm telling you its not a good idea to challenge me." Len continued. Rin snorted and crossed her arms. "Oh yeah? Prove it then."

Len let out a soft giggle and smirked before he pulled out a coin and slip it into the slot. He glanced at Rin with a mischievous smile and pointed the toy gun at the screen.

"No way..."

"I told you, you shouldn't challenge me in this game."

"That's just unfair. How did you do it?"

"Some practice and a lot of video game experience, I guess."

"I don't believe that."

"Why so?"

"You must have cheated. There was no way you could've won this game." Rin glared at the score board at the screen. "And in perfect score at that!"

"Rin-chan, I've been here in this arcade multiple times..." Len smiled warily. "I don't think its something to be surprised about besides this isn't the first time I played this game." Rin then turned and glared at him. "So from the start, I didn't stand a chance against you did I?"

Len smiled a bit and shrugged. Rin then groaned and punched him on the shoulder. 'Ow!" Len yelped as Rin stomped off. "Ah! Hey wait!" He exclaimed and chased after her.

"I knew there was something fishy going on. To think you cheated like this." Rin huffed. "Well, I did say I have been here a couple of times." Len said as he briskly moved behind her. "I thought you would've at least, thought that I played that game before."

Rin turned and glared at him. "That's just unfair." Len just smiled awkwardly. "Now, now you don't need to get angry." He chuckled. "Ok, so I didn't tell you, my bad but you shouldn't really take this too seriously...it's kind of childish after all."

"Wha-! Who are you calling childish you jerk!" Rin exclaimed and was about to pounce at him to strangle him when a voice called out.

"Len? Is that you?"

The two turned to the side to see two male students staring at them in surprise. One student had light teal hair with matching teal eyes, he wore the same uniform as them and had a book bag slang over his shoulder. Next to him was a tall male student who also wore the same uniform, he had dark bluish hair and blue eyes that looked at them curiously. He also had a book bag tucked underneath his arm. Rin instantly noted ho they were both very handsome.

Rin blinked before a look of horror spread on her face as she stared at the two. They were found out. What are they going to do?!

Rin was already in a state of panic while Len on the other hand, looked unnervingly calm and even waved at them. "Hey guys" He greeted as the two males approached them. "Hey Len my man!" The teal haired boy pulled Len into a head lock and ruffled his hair. "Didn't think I'd see you here! I thought you said you have business to take care of."

"I have." Len grunted as he struggled. "And get off me. You're ruining my hair, Mikuo." The boy, Mikuo release the blond and snorted. "Geez, and they say I worry too much about my hair."

Len ran his hand through his hair and frowned. "Anyways, what are you two doing here?" He questioned. "Me and Kaito thought we might as well have fun on our way home so we decided to come here to play some games." Mikuo explained. "Technically, you wanted to play games in the arcade. You just forced me to join with you." The male next to him, Kaito sighed.

"Oh, come on Kaito." Mikuo whined. "All you ever do at home is study and eat ice cream. You know what they say, 'All work and no play makes Kaito a dull boy'."

Kaito rolled his eyes before noticed the frozen figure behind Len. "So who is this?" He asked. Len blinked and turned to Rin, who turned into a statue. "Oh, this is Rin Kagami." Len introduced. "Seriously? Rin Kagami?" Mikuo raised a brow. "You mean the so-called playgirl who gives advise to all the girls? That Rin Kagami?"

Len nodded. Mikuo stared at Len then turned to Rin. He scanned her figure before grinning widely. "Is she your girlfriend?" Rin flinched at the question and glanced at Len, who looked unfazed and shrugged. "Does it matter?" He said.

"Whether it matters or not..." Mikuo started before a mischievous smirk stretched on his lips. "She's pretty cute." Rin blushed at the compliment and Mikuo moved towards her. "Hi, my name's Mikuo Hatchune." He stretched out his hand towards her.

Rin automatically reach out to shake his hand but instead, Mikuo brought her hand to his lips and he gently laid a soft kiss onto the back of her hand which made Rin's face turn even redder. "I must say, you are very beautiful." He winked at her and Rin was tongue tied as she opened and closed her mouth like a fish out of water.

Mikuo then let go of her hand and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "A beautiful girl like you is wasted on a guy like Len." He grinned. "Why don't you leave the shota over there and go on a date with me?"

Rin was speechless. She had never been flirted like this before so this was a first. She rammed into her head to figure out what she would situations like this but for some reason, all her knowledge from reading all those magazine seem to be wiped out of her brain at the moment. "Uh...I um..."

BAM!

Mikuo yelped when a fist suddenly smashed into the top of his head, causing Rin to jump and he fell to the ground, holding his head in pain as a noticeable bump began to form on his head. Rin looked up at see Len holding his fist up and his eye twitched in obvious irritation.

"Ow! What was that for?!" Mikuo exclaimed as he looked up at the culprit. "That was asking for stupid things." Len said before he once again smashed his fist on his head which caused Mikuo fall onto his stomach and hit the ground. "And that was for calling me a shota." Len growled.

Kaito simply sighed at the display and turned to Rin. "Sorry about Mikuo." He said with a small bow. Rin turned and shook her head. "N-No, its fine." She said, slightly embarrassed at the fact he was bowing towards her. He seemed like a very mature and polite person.

Kaito stood up straight and smiled. "I'm Kaito Shion by the way." He held his hand towards her which Rin took and shook hands. "I'm actually a year above you guys so that would make me your senpai." He explained and Rin nodded, though she already suspected that he was older judging from his looks and personality.

"So I know I shouldn't be asking this but are you two dating?" Kaito asked and Rin froze, a cold sweat trailed down the back of her neck. What was she suppose to say? She can't just blurt out that they were dating but in a fake relationship or that Len had blackmailed her to do so. She can't just say that.

"You don't have to answer it." Kaito quickly added when he noticed Rin's obvious discomfort. "I was just curious since I've known Len since we were kids and this is the first time I've seen him without a crowd sticking near him."

"You've known Len since you were kids?" Rin repeated in surprise. Kaito nodded. "Yeah, along with Mikuo. We're all childhood friends so we know almost everything about him."

The two turned to Len who was still practically strangling Mikuo in a head lock while Mikuo was tapping at Len's head as a sign of surrender. "Don't worry about those two." Kaito said. "They are always like that." Rin nodded as they continued watching the two. Rin had always thought Len was a prince like character but seeing him like this was a bit surprising. She didn't think Len could be so...boyish in a way.

Kaito turned back to Rin. "I've known Len for a really long time and he can sometimes be a bit of trouble but I hope you take care of him for now." He bowed once again. Rin looked at Kaito in surprise and opened her mouth to say something.

"Rin-chan!" Rin turned to the side to see Len walking towards her. "I'm really sorry about Mikuo. He can be too flirtatious sometimes." He said. "Um..." Rin began awkwardly. "No, its okay."

"Well, I'll be leaving now." Kaito suddenly said and nodded towards Rin. "It was nice meeting you, Kagami-chan." He then patted Len's shoulder and strolled towards the beaten teal haired male, who laid on the ground and his soul was slowly sipping out of his mouth. "Let's go, Mikuo before you embarrass yourself even more." Kaito picked Mikuo up by the back of his collar and proceeded to drag the male out of the arcade.

There was slight pause between the two before Len started. "So...what were you two talking about?" He asked. "Nothing much." Rin shrugged a bit. "He just said a few things and told me that you were childhood friends."

"Oh right." Len scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Well yeah, the three of us practically grew up together so they are like brothers to me."

"Your friend, Mikuo...was interesting I guess." Rin remarked while Len groaned. "He's always like that. He'd flirt with any girl with a pulse. I don't think he could last a minute without flirting with a girl within his sights." He sighed deeply while Rin smiled a bit. He was lot more boyish than she thought.

"Anyways, shall we play different game while we're still here?" Len questioned with a smile. As if remembering something, Rin started "Which reminds me..." She turned and punched him on the shoulder. Len yelped and grabbed his injured shoulder. "Ouch! Hey!"

"I still haven't forgiven you for cheating."

"You're still thinking about that? Look, I said I was sorry."

"Oh, shut up."

"I must say, it was kind of fun today." Len commented as they walked down the street. It was already dark and the stars shone on the sky. Rin rolled her eyes and huffed. Len turned to Rin. "Oh come on, you aren't still angry at me, are you?"

"That was just foul play." Rin grunted. "That was just unfair."

"Rin, you don't have to be so angry." He chuckled lightly. "Just because you lost in every game against me, doesn't mean anything."

Rin glared at him and Len raised his hands in surrender. She then sighed. "Ugh, you are truly mean in every way."

"Oh?" Len's lips curled up. "How so?" Rin glared at him even harder. "You blackmailed me into being your fake girlfriend." Len chuckled at that. "Okay, I won't deny that but it was the only way to get you to cooperate easily."

She huffed. "You're the worst." She growled. "Heh." Len snorted in amusement. "Thank you for the compliment."

Rin groaned and shook his head. "Well, here's my house." They stopped in front of a simple house and Rin turned to Len. "Thanks for walking me home Kagamine-kun." She said. "Well, good night."

Len nodded. "By the way..." He started and pulled out his phone. "I never got your phone number so lets exchange numbers." Rin blinked and frowned. "I'm not sure if-"

"Rin-chan, we're 'dating'. I thought lovers exchange phone numbers to each other once they start dating." Len said. "And besides its not like I'd do anything with it so don't worry."

Rin frowned then reluctantly pulled out her phone and exchanged numbers to each other.

As soon as they were done, Len looked at Rin hesitantly before he reached out and patted her head. Rin raised a brow at that but said nothing as Len smiled. "Night, Rin-chan." With that, he turned and walked away. Rin stared after him as he slowly disappeared into the distance.

Rin then turned to her house, feeling a bit exhausted. She reached out and opened the front door. "I'm ho-" Rin sudden squealed when she came face to face with her older sister, Lenka Kagami. "What the heck sis!" She yelled.

"That was a really cute guy just now." Lenka remarked and a Cheshire cat like smile stretch on her lips. "Is that your boyfriend or something?"

"No." Rin deadpanned and walked past her. "Really? What a shame, he was really handsome." Lenka said as she followed after her. "Well, I'm not surprise though...I mean, a super cute guy like him dating my little sister? That is just insane."

"Will you shut up, onee-chan!" Rin sneered as she stomped up stairs while Lenka laughed. "Mom and Dad are out tonight so I'm making dinner." She called after her. "Okay." Rin replied before walking into her room.

She fell onto her bed with a long sigh. Today had been tiring. She buried her face into her pillow and ran her hands over her bed until she felt something on the tip of her fingers. She lifted her head and pulled the object up to see it was one of the magazines Miku gave her.

Rin glared at it for a moment. Her life has been a mess all because Miku had to bring in these stupid magazine, saying that she needed to be more girly. If it were for these things, she might've lived a more peaceful life...but then again, these things might just come in handy in her current situation.

She sat up and opened the magazine to read for any info that could be useful.

From a new relationship to a good relationship

In a seasoned relationship, keeping the excitement alive may seem like the biggest bummer. But in a new relationship, it's learning to hold back the excitement that ends up distancing new lovers.

If you've just met a perfect partner and don't want to ruin a perfect start, here are all the pointers you need to take it from a new relationship to a good relationship.

#1 Meet often, but not too often

When you're in young love, you'd want to spend every waking minute with your sweetheart. It's understandable, you're obviously excited. But could you be pushing it too far?

Remember that new workout dvd you picked up some time ago? You were probably really excited at the beginning, but as the daily workout took more and more time out of your daily routine, you started getting annoyed by it. It's the same story with love.

By meeting too often, you're suddenly changing the lives of two individuals who have fallen in love. It may feel great for the first week or so, but eventually your other commitments may pile up and one of you may end up getting annoyed with the other for taking too much time.

Go out on dates once or twice a week, and it'll keep the love and excitement on a high for a long time. But if you're both madly in love and can't keep your hands off each other, then you're excused to meet each other more often, but with caution.

-0-0-0-

Well, that detail is easy enough. It's not like they had to meet each other everyday and no one would know that they were dating (even though its a fake relationship).

Though the last line was a bit too much information for Rin as her face heated up a bit. Well, its not like they were in love with each other anyways so she didn't have to worry about that...right?

Of course. She sighed and continued reading.

-0-0-0-

#2 Don't get clingy

Just because you're dating doesn't mean you own each other. Shocking, yes, but it's true. If you want to know how to have a good relationship from the beginning, learn to give each other space. Especially in a new relationship, you're only dating each and don't really need to know every little piece of information about each other. Right now, you're only a small part of each other's lives, so don't give yourself more importance than you deserve.

-0-0-0-

Rin nodded at that. It was a very true fact. Most of the girls she had given advice to had often complained about their boyfriends being too clingy or jealous and vise versa. It was a common topic among the girls but moving on...

-0-0-0-

#3 Don't be lavish with your gifts

Your new lover may be running in your mind all day, but that doesn't mean you should go overboard and buy something for your lover every time you see something nice while shopping.

Save the spending sprees for later when the relationship has grown over a solid foundation. If you do want to express your love with gifts, then pick something small, personal and inexpensive at first. Save the extravagant gifts when you know your new mate's the one for you.

-0-0-0-

Rin scrunched her nose at the advice. Well, its not like she would buy Len anything and she kind of doubts Len would go as far as to save money for her when he could spend it for Neru once they get together.

In all honestly, Rin couldn't see the point of buying gifts for your lover. Sure, it was a way to express your love for them and so on but for Rin, just being close to them and enjoying the moment is enough for her.

She sighed and turned back to the magazine.

-0-0-0-

#4 Don't get possessive

Possessiveness is never a good trait in a relationship. Possessiveness is a sign of insecurity and jealousy, and these are usually big red flags in any relationship, new or old.

Remember that you're still in a new relationship and can't order or even request your mate to avoid people or avoid going out by themselves. Even if you do feel jealous about your lover's partying habits or the amount of time they spend with a group of friends, learn to suck it up and hold it in. Signs of jealousy and insecurity right at the beginning can end the relationship even before you know it.

-0-0-0-

Rin rolled her eyes. This one was common knowledge. If that person was really the one for them then they wouldn't need to get jealous because they know they would never leave them.

It was something Rin knew from the start and besides, she and Len are just faking the relationship so there was no need for either of them to feel jealous when they aren't in love with each other from the first place.

She shook her head and turned the page.

#5 Accept each other's habits

When you fall in love with someone new, you fall in love with a person who's unique, not a splitting image of your dream lover. Instead of trying to change them to fit your requirements, learn to adjust to their habits. By restricting a lover or trying to change someone at the very beginning, you risk the chance of losing them forever.

Whether you're in love or otherwise, you can't really change someone's personality. If you find your new lover incompatible, end the relationship instead of suffering a nervous breakdown due to frustrations or insecurities.

-0-0-0-

She sweat dropped at this advice. Seriously? Sure, she had talked to girls who were insecure about their relationship but this things was really straightforward.

Rin was thinking that maybe she should put this thing away for but then again it might come in handy. She sighed deeply and looked back at the magazine.

-0-0-0-

#6 You don't have to say I-Love-You

Just because you're in a relationship with your new lover, it doesn't mean you have to start saying those "three magical words" to each other as soon as you decide to go out with each other.

By saying it out first, you're subtly coercing your partner into saying it back. And whether your new love says it back or not, it's only going to lead to awkwardness in the air because it's all happening so fast. Take it slow and wait a while, maybe a month or so before you say it out loud.

-0-0-0-

Rin sighed in relief at this one. At least, she didn't have to say 'I heart you' to that guy. She would only saying to the person she was in a serious relationship.

But moving on from that subject.

-0-0-0-

#7 Don't introduce your date to your friends too soon

When you're in a new relationship, you're still exploring each other and learning about each other. Don't call your friends over when your new lover's with you or plan a group date just to show off your new catch.

Though it's not a bad thing to do, overwhelming your new lover with too much information at once can seem like too much, too fast.

And if you do meet a friend when you're on a date, introduce your date by the name and don't really get into details. Your friends would understand the relationship status. And you'd save your date from an awkward situation, especially if they haven't made up their mind on your relationship status.

-0-0-0-

Rin deadpanned at that. Too late for that. Although none of their friends officially know about their so-called "relationship", she can already tell that they wouldn't approve to it at all, especially Miku. If she ever hears a word about Len blackmailing her. World war III would start in no time.

She shivered at the thought. She will definitely keep this one in mind.

-0-0-0-

#8 Talk to each other

When you're in a new relationship, the bodily exploration may be the high point of every date that ends in a cozy corner or in one of your beds. But that doesn't really help create a good relationship. Communication does.

Try to sneak in a long conversation every now and then and learn about each other, likes, dislikes, interests and all. By doing this, it'll help you figure the romantic compatibility and also help bring both of you closer on a level that's beyond sexual attraction.

Understand the secret behind knowing how to have a good relationship right from the start by taking it slow and learning about your partner without overwhelming them at once. After all, a new relationship, as exciting as it may be, is still fragile and breakable.

-0-0-0-

Rin tossed the magazine to the side and fell back into the bed, staring up at the ceiling. What the heck was she doing? She didn't have to take this seriously. All they have to do is act like they were dating and that was it. Its not like they needed to really do this stuff.

That was when Rin realized that now that Mikuo and Kaito had seen them there was a high chance that everyone in school will know about them.

She sighed deeply and rubbed her face. This was going to be tougher than she thought.
