'Teto, I'm sure Rin's OK, don't worry. Just stay calm-' started Neru. Teto cut across her words.

'Calm down? How can I calm down? I swear, when I get my hands on that fucking Kagamine brat, he'll wish that his folks finished him off!' shrieked Teto, nostrils flaring. They had already arrived at school, early as usual, so the corridors were technically deserted. But she was serious; Len was so dead when she saw him. Dell placed his hand on Teto's arm. Teto felt goosebumps.

'Teto, that's enough. I promise ya, Rin'll be fine.' said Dell. His voice was so soothing, so reassuring for Teto, so... so hot.

'Maybe you're right Dell.' Teto sighed, grabbing his hand. Dell smiled at her. Neru folded her arms.

'Humph, so when I say Rin'll be fine, you start having a bloody hissy fit. But when Dell says it, you're all Oh, maybe your right Dell. Talk about favourism much.' pouted Neru. Teto gave Neru a playful punch in the arm, while Dell lit a cigarette.

'Dell, what do you find enjoyable about smoking?' asked Teto, hands on her hips. Dell popped the lit cigarette in his mouth with a smirk.

'It's known to relax ya. What do you find enjoyable about attackin' the chem teacher with your French bread?' he asked, inhaling deeply.

'He says I have drills in my head when I don't, so I teach him a few good lessons.' Teto huffed, folding her arms. Everyone knew that she hated it when they say she has drills in her hair, it was obvious he deserved it. Dell put his cigarette out, stuffed it in the container and wrapped his arms around Teto's waist.

'He's just jealous that you have lovely pink locks while he's got a monk's hairstyle.' Dell chuckled. Teto gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Dell's cheeks went red.

'Thanks Dell, ya really know how to make a girl happy.' giggled Teto. Dell planted a deep kiss on Teto's lips, making Teto groan softly, her hands slithering towards his chest. Neru groaned, and pushed Dell off of Teto.

'Ugh, last thing I need is you two to go all lovey-dovey on me now.' grunted Neru, making a vomiting kind of noise. Teto laughed.

'Well, sounds like somebody's jealous.' snickered Dell. Neru's cheeks went red.

'Me? You think I'm jealous? Never.' scoffed Neru.

'Yeah, I know that you and Akaito are a definite item. You're lucky Len doesn't know yet, he'll make your life a fucking misery when he does.' laughed Dell, grabbing Teto's hand with his own. Teto realized that his hand was a little bit sweaty. Then again, so was her hand. Teto glanced at Neru, who had actually blushed a bit. No way. Not Neru, not Neru… with Akaito. She must be hearing things.

'So, you were actually with Akaito last night? When I heard ya in your room? ... You didn't do IT with him did you?' asked Teto.

X-x-X-x-N-E-R-U-X-x-X-x

Neru's face went bright red.

'Teto, who the fuck do you think I am? I'm not Hatsune. He came in my room when I went to sleep. We talked a little, had a bit of a laugh, and then, well... he asked me if I would kiss him.' muttered Neru. She despised the fact that they were always compared to each other.

'And this lovely lady was more than happy to say yes to yours truly.' added Akaito. Neru turned her head. Akaito was looking down at her, beaming. He gave Neru a kiss on the cheek. Her heart went all fluttery on her, her stomach doing flips.

'We've been goin' out since... February wasn't it?' asked Akaito. Neru nodded sheepishly.

'Yeah, since Valentine's Day.' replied Neru softly, remembering that day when Akaito surprised her with a single rose and a box of chocolates. He could be really nice when he wanted to be, even if he did act like a complete dick around other people. Teto's eyes widened.

'What? And you didn't even think to tell either Rin or me about this?' asked Teto furiously, grabbing Neru's shoulders and shaking her madly. Neru's head rocked back and forth like that Noddy character on the TV you see.

'You wanna know why I never told ya? This is the reason why I never told you.' grumbled Neru; her head was still spinning when Teto was being dragged back by Dell.

'Now, all we need to do is pair up Len and Rin together and bam! Night long gangbangs here we come!' snickered Akaito, wriggling his eyebrows. Neru whacked him over the head with a thick book, almost KOing him, which made Teto and Dell laugh.

'Dirty perv, sayin' somethin' like that.' growled Neru, stuffing her book in her bag. OK, Neru may love him, but when he says things like that, she just has to cause him physical pain to snap him back to his senses. Akaito planted a soft kiss on Neru's lips.

'Ya know you're the only gal for this dude here.' whispered Akaito in Neru's ear, his hands on Neru's lower back. Neru nuzzled into his chest.

'I'm not sleeping with you yet, baka. When I say so, we'll do so.' muttered Neru.

'Which will probably be never at this rate.' groaned Akaito, but he smiled at her and hugged her.

'Cheeky little bastard.' giggled Neru as Akaito nibbled on her earlobe.

'Please don't start going all intimate on us.' said Teto, rolling her eyes at them. Neru aimed a little kick for her, but had just missed by an inch or so.

'Gross.' laughed Neru. She looked at the billboard about their homerooms. She looked at it until she found something that caught her eye.

'OK... cool! Looks like you, me and Rin are together!' Neru said, looking at Teto. They did their own handshake: so complicated that it's hard to put down in words, leaving Dell and Akaito to gawp in awe at them when they had finished.

'The terrifying trio shall reign once again!' laughed Teto.

'What about us?' asked Akaito, frowning. Neru gave him a quick peck on the lips.

'You can be the adorable sidekicks to the terrifying trio.' giggled Neru.
