Tch! This chapter annoyed me. I'm writing the reason after the story, to avoid spoilers. Anyway, enjoy chapter 2. Next chapter is the ending =.=


Mr. Troublesome

Chapter 2: Growing Emotions

-Rin-

I stared at him, carefully analyzing his every move. He twitched and gave me a quick glance. Ehhh? He knows I'm looking at him?

"Oi. If you know that I'm looking at you, you should just say it and stop ignoring me," I said out loud to Len.

The teacher stopped what he was saying at looked at me. The same went with the other students, who stopped taking notes (or drawing the teacher as a monster) and looked at me. Well, except for Len, who still had his back on me. Jeez. If even the teacher can hear me, I'm sure he also heard me. Pretending deaf, hmm?

"Oi, Len. Why are you ignoring me? Is it because I saw you nake—"

"ALRIGHT! I get it! What do you want!" he angrily replied as he turned around and glared at me.

"Nah, forget it," I replied with an innocent smile.

"TCH!" he turned back around. Heh. It's always so fun to tease him. Ah, about what I was saying awhile ago? Yep, I saw Len naked when I was looking out for him while he was changing into his gym clothes. Stop screaming, fan girls! It's not like the image registered on my mind anyway! I blushed. Or maybe just a teeny little bit.

"Kagamine Rin!" the teacher bellowed.

I stood up with a proud happy smile, into a good mood since I was able to annoy Len. "Yes, teacher?"

"Wipe that smile off your face and stand outside. Don't disturb the class again with your petty little quarrels with Len!"


-Len-

Why the hell is she annoying me! She.. dammit! I keep thinking "she's not like this before"! I feel like my mind is being conquered by that single sentence! Ever since she saw me naked, she's been annoying me ten times more than usual, and it was already annoying enough before!

"Didn't I tell you so?" Kaito whispered to me. "She likes you!"

I glared at him. "Shut up!"

I flinched when I heard my name. "Kagamine Len!" I turned towards the teacher. "Since you seem to like the idea of standing outside with Kagamine Rin… Get out!"

I sighed. Shit. Kaito whispered with a sly smile, "Have fun outside."

"Asshole!" I hissed at him.

When I got outside, Rin wasn't there. Did she escape? Oh well, I should expect at least that from her. I climbed up to the rooftop. It's the best place to sleep after all, excluding the clinic.

When I arrived, I was surprised to see Rin sleeping there. I frowned. Tch! I'm not in the mood to argue with her. As I turned around to leave, she called out for me.

"Len! You creepy stalker! You even followed me here?" she asked with a naughty smile on her face.

"I was just about to leave. Don't get too full of yourself," I replied as I turned to her.

She snickered. "Then why are you still here?"

I blushed. "Tch! Don't follow me then!"

I turned around and walked out. She followed me. "Don't be so cold," she said.

"And just after I told you not to follow me," I said in exasperation. She's following me again. Hell! I don't even care about the reason anymore, as long as she stops following me.


-Rin-

Maybe it's not such a bad idea being his bodyguard, after all. It's fun pissing him off. He always acts cool around girls but it's more fun to see him annoyed.

"Hey, why are you always following me?" he suddenly asked. He looked at me in the eye. "Do you.. perhaps.. like me?"

We stared at each other for who knows how long. My mind took some time to decipher the question he had just asked. I too, was taken aback. This isn't good. Of course he'd think I like him! For what other retarded reason would I be following him around like a fucking stalker? I can't tell him I'm his bodyguard either. I've been told not to let him no or else I'll have to quit the job.

No choice, then.

"How.. did you know?" I asked, trying to feign nervousness.

"So I was right.." he muttered. Both of us looked down to the floor, unable to look each other in the eye. Well, for me, it's just that I don't want him to know that I was lying. Ugh. I feel dirty, lying like this. Moreover, it's about 'love'. Tch. Maybe I should have told him the truth instead.

"Rin," he suddenly said. I looked up towards him. I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me close into a kiss.

My mind stopped working as I felt his lips on mine. It was passionate and gentle both at the same time. I was trembling, but I calmed down after Len placed his arms around me. I felt warm, but perplexed at the same time. There was a war inside me, emotions clashing. My stomach was tight, and it was hard to breathe, as expected of a kiss. But I also felt secure at the same time. The feeling of my first kiss.. it is definitely a memory to behold.

As he pulled away, my legs gave in, but Len caught me in time. My heart was beating so fast and I was blushing. Len was, as well, blushing, but he carried me gently in his arms.

Ugh. I should be mad, really. But it was my first kiss, and I can't say it was bad. I regained composure after a few seconds and stood up without Len's support.

This time, there was definite silence between us. I didn't know what to say. I was confused, of course. I shouldn't really like him. I'm following him only because I'm tasked to do so. I told him I like him, because I can't let him know the real reason. And he kissed me.. why? Why would he kiss me? Unless.. he.. likes me.

He suddenly grabbed my hand and smiled at me. "Let's go."

I was surprised. "Eh? Where to?"

"A date!"

We escaped school by climbing over the walls. I don't really get things anymore. Why he kissed me. Why I agreed to go to this date. Why I'm enjoying it. It's like a sudden storm that hit me, like a sudden tornado that blew me away. Yep, this is the first time for me. Well, I guess I should enjoy it.

That day, we acted like a regular couple (well, I guess we ARE a couple now, aren't we?). The date was simple, eating ice cream sold from around the corner, watch a movie(horror, at that), eat at a restaurant, play around the amusement park. It was fun! Especially the Roller Coaster! You wouldn't believe how much the people behind us shouted. I felt like I was going deaf.

"It's our last ride," Len said. I nodded. The almighty famous Ferris Wheel.

We both got in and waited for the engine to start. We sat across each other. The engine started and we were slowly lifted up. I looked away when I noticed Len looking at me. The sun was setting, and the orange light filled the sky.

As I marveled the sight, Len spoke, "Rin."

I looked at him with a smile. "Hmm?"

"I.." He muttered, his head down. He finally looked at me. "I like you too."


-Still Rin-

"Should I take you home?" he asked.

"No, I'm fine," I refused with a smile. "Don't get into trouble on the way home."

"I know."

To my surprise, he kissed my cheeks. "Bye."

"B.. bye."

He walked away and I felt sadness as I watched his back. I blushed, remembering everything that happened. My heartbeat rapidly increased, as if my heart was going to pop.

Was what I told him really a lie? Or did today's happenings.. make it into reality?

Do I.. really like him?


Okay, so here's why I'm frustrated at this chapter. IT'S BECAUSE I HAVEN'T KISSED ANYONE YET!

Yep, and I was trying to explain how a kiss feels.. and I just feel angry since it's hard to explain it without experiencing it yet. :'( I'm really pathetic.. ARGH! Stupid kiss.. ugh, makes my blood boil..

Hope you enjoyed. Please REVIEW :'(
