I wrote nothing but this story for MONTHS. So there's more to come, don't you worry. :3
/shot/
Forgive any typos or anything...I'm too tired to go through this right now. xD
"You're WHAT?" Luka squawked, her hands flying to her mouth. Rin grimaced, hoping no one had heard Luka's outburst. "Sorry," the older vocaloid whispered. "But. . how. . .who's the father?"
Rin looked down. "You've gotta promise not to tell anyone who he is."
". . .it's not Kaito, is it?"
Rin shook her head. "It's Len."
Luka's mouth dropped open again. "But he's with Meiko! How long have you guys been. . .you know. . ."
Rin blushed. "The better part of a year. Kaito and Meiko don't know."
"When did you find out? About the baby, I mean."
"Um. . .four days ago."
An awkward silence ensued. Luka wrung her hands together, searching for something to say.
". . .you gonna tell him?" she asked.
"Who?"
"Kaito."
"I'll have to eventually. It won't be long until I start showing."
"You're not gonna wait until he notices a bump, are you?"
Rin smiled, half to alleviate her own worries and half to encourage Luka. "I'll try not to."
Luka smiled sadly at the blond Vocaloid. "Rin, you've gotta tell him soon. Len should probably be with you in the event that Kaito cracks. You and I both know he's a pacifist, but he's absolutely, completely in love with you. We both know how afraid he is of someone taking you from him – Len's done that now. If he does snap, you don't want him to end up hurting the baby, would you?"
Rin's heart began to beat like a snare in her chest. She hadn't thought about that. "Y-you're right. . ." she stammered. Luka sighed.
"Sorry," she whispered. "I didn't mean to scare you like that."
"No, it's fine. Len really ought to have the decency to come with me, seeing as he's involved. . ."
"Rin. . . .are you okay?"
Rin fought her rising nausea and tried to smile. "Yeah, I'm fin – " before she could finish, her hands flew to her mouth and she scrambled across Luka's room to the bathroom. Honestly – she would probably die of malnutrition at the rate she was barfing every day.
Luka didn't follow Rin into the bathroom, but stood just outside, debating on whether or not to go in and comfort Rin. She decided against her idea a few seconds later when she heard the toilet flush and Rin moved to the sink to rinse her mouth out. She looked up at Luka and grinned sheepishly. "Morning sickness," she said, shyly scratching the back of her head. "It's the price I pay."
- -Three Days Later- -
"You ready for this?"
"As I'll ever be."
Rin and Len stood facing each other in Len's room, trying desperately to calm themselves and each other. Today they would break the news of Rin's pregnancy, first to Kaito, then to Meiko. Rin's gaze was fixed on her slippers; she couldn't make herself look at Len.
"You alright?" Len asked, dropping to his knees and looking up at her. Tears were building up in her eyes. Len smiled reassuringly and took her hands in his, gently squeezing them. "It'll be alright, Rin. I promise."
Rin was silent as a tear fell from her right eye. Len reached up and brushed away the trail left in its wake. "Do you trust me, Rin?"
Rin sighed and a sad smile traced her lips. "I trust you with my life, Len."
Len stood and kissed her. "Then lets go. It'll be alright. Once we break the news to Meiko and Kaito, we'll be free to be together without keeping our relationship a secret."
Rin brightened at Len's final statement. ". . .okay," she murmured.
"Uh. . .Len?"
"I hear ya."
"Maybe we should wait until later. ."
"You're probably right. . .they seem kinda. . ." Len blushed. ". . .busy." They finished together.
Telling by the muffled sounds seeping through Kaito's bedroom door, he and Meiko were very. Very. Busy. With each other. When they heard Meiko start moaning louder and louder every other second, they began to back away from the door, highly disturbed.
"I guess we shouldn't be surprised or angry," Len said once he and Rin had retreated into Len's room again. "I mean, we were going behind their backs first."
Rin nodded. "I'm not surprised or angry, to be honest. I'm kind of relieved."
Len shot a double-take at his lover and mirror image. "What do you mean?"
Rin shrugged. "I guess. . .well. . .if they've been cheating on us together while we've been cheating on them together, all four of us are kind of in the same boat. Maybe the release will be a little easier since we already know their secret."
"I didn't think about it like that," Len said, stretching. He sat down on the bed next to Rin, leaning on his forearms which were perched on his knees.
"Is it too early to talk about names?" he asked. Rin placed a finger to his lips. "Ah, ah, ah," she warbled. "the Koreans say it's bad luck to talk about a baby's name before it's born."
Len grabbed her hand and kissed the finger touching his lips. He slowly crept closer to Rin, causing her to lay flat on her back with her legs dangling over the edge of the bed.
"Yeah, well, we're not Korean," he whispered in her ear. He straddled her at the hips and began gracing her neck with his lips, causing a slight moan to escape Rin's throat. He smirked against her neck and bit down just hard enough to make her gasp in surprise. He loved this game because Rin never realized she was playing it until it was too late. His hands worked their way to the hem of her shirt and crept under it, his fingertips dancing across the skin of her abdomen. He jumped in surprise when Rin laughed and sat up a bit, catching him off guard. She pushed his hands away, giggling.
"Stop it!" she playfully scolded him, her hands wrapped around his wrists. "That tickles!"
Len didn't know what to make of things for a moment. That wasn't supposed to happen. She'd never been ticklish like that before. Then his eyes narrowed mischievously with the idea of a new game.
He continued to pin Rin to the bed, but instead of moving to start something sexual, he freed his hands placed them back on her stomach under her shirt, lightly dragging his fingers across her skin again. She reacted and tried to push him off, but Len was prepared. He retaliated by moving his hands to her sides and lightly dug his fingertips into the skin there. Rin squawked as she laughed, bringing a smile to Len's lips. He worked his way further and further up her torso, stopping and reversing the direction of his hands when he reached her bra. He was having too much fun to want something bittersweet like sex at the moment.
Rin's hands shot out and caught Len at the same place he'd had her. Len squeaked – yes, he squeaked – and fell back, laughing. It was then he realized his mistake. Now he was the one pinned to the bed. Rin was quick to straddle him in the same place he'd straddled her and smirked as she held his wrists to the sheets with her hands. She had him.
"You just got owned by your pregnant girlfriend, Len," she laughed. Len blushed. She would never let him live it down now.
"I can't fight back now, either," he chuckled as she moved to lay on her back beside him. "It wouldn't be very honorable of me to fight a pregnant woman."
Rin snickered. "Ha! I have immunity!"
Len turned onto his stomach and rested his head against a pillow, tenderly placing his hand on Rin's stomach. "Seriously, though," he murmured. "You're gonna have to make sure you're really careful for a few months. I don't know a lot about pregnancy, but I know that the first few months are the most delicate since the baby's still really, really small and everything."
Rin looked up at the ceiling, her hand resting atop Len's. "Yeah. I know." She looked down at Len. "You're really serious about keeping this baby, aren't you?"
Len nodded. "Only if you're up for it."
Rin smiled and ran a hand through Len's unkempt bangs. "For you, I am."
After a few moments of peaceful silence, Len perked up, a childish glint in his eyes.
"Hey, since we're pretty much a couple now and we're having a baby," he started, a smile spreading across his face. "Does this mean we get to share a room now?" he grinned in excitement. Rin let her head fall back as she laughed.
"After we get a chance to tell Kaito and Meiko about us."
Len stuck his lip out. "Aww, do we have to?"
Rin snickered at the expression on her lover's face. He was definitely going to be a shouta for a long, long time.
"Yes, we have to," she replied in a mockingly mother-like tone of voice. "Though it could be a while. . ." she rolled her eyes as she remembered what she and Len had caught them doing.
Len shook his head. "Yeah. . ." his voice seemed to mature with his next words. "Hey, Rin."
"What, Len?"
"What do you want to do to pass the time?" he asked, propping himself up on all fours and beginning to crawl on top of Rin again. Rin smirked.
"I don't know. Surprise me."
Rin wasn't ticklish when Len's hands began to progress further up underneath her shirt again. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and started pulling his shirt off as Len began to work on unbuttoning hers.
"This is so wrong," she moaned playfully as her shorts were being removed. Len attacked her neck again as they slid from his hands to the floor.
"Is loving you wrong? I don't think so." He murmured seductively. Rin arched her back and gasped when he playfully nipped at the skin of her neck. Len smirked again. Rin knew what he wanted. He'd sort of already gotten it.
"Just go easy on me this time, kay?" she asked, sliding her hands down his chest, a suggestive smile on her face. "I'm already pregnant, remember."
Len snickered as she fumbled with his belt buckle. "You got it."
