Act II: Magnet: Chapter 2

I stood over the sink humming, getting together the ingredients for todays lunch. I had had a nice time yesterday. The two lovers had coaxed me out of my house and we had gone to a karaoke place. We had sung quite a few songs before Rei and I's song had come up on the list. I laughed as Luka had sung an exaggerated version of Rei's high tenor while Miku did an impression of my softer treble. They had teased me about it until I told them to stop, saying that I didn't feel that way about him anymore. They had looked at me stunned. Honestly it had been a relief to realize this. I would finally be able to focus on my schoolwork. I sighed pulling myself back into the present. Wrapping up the bento in a cloth I grabbed my bag and headed out the door. Rei and Miku seemed to be waiting for me. Any other time I might have I would have blushed, maybe even had been jealous, but today I didn't feel a thing.

"Ohayou Kagene-kun, ohayou Miku."

Rei looks at me oddly.

"You look pleased, did something good happen?"

I just smile and start walking in the direction of the school.

"Do you think somethings up with Rin-chan?"

"I can hear you ya know?"

Miku giggles.

I strongly dislike japanese history. Gackpo-sensei is ruthless in his storytelling and information amount. He will drone on and on about the Taika reforms and nothing will be learned. Most if the other students take this class time to sleep or catch up on other work as most of the class is only interested in their art subject.

"Emperor Kōtoku put these reforms into use in 645 and…"

Its truly amazing how Sensei's voice could be used an amazing anti-insomnia method. I could feel my eyes closing as I struggled to maintain consciousness and the quality of my notes.

"Look at that, all of them studying so hard their faces presses against their books."

This is what its like to have an idiot as principal.

I stared at my family's grave, carefully observing how the flowers left there fluttered gently in the breeze.

They leave behind their daughter and sister Rin, hoping she will continue to live in their stead.

I can barely breathe as I remember the way his blue eyes had sparkled when he had smiled. His lips stretching into a wide grin. He was my twin brother. Was. What a painful word. A word that feels as empty as the thing it represents.

You said you would stay to protect me. You said you would stay with me until the world fell apart. Where are you now brother? My vision blurs as I push back the tears, I can feel my throat starting to choke. I can't cry. I can't let the tears show. He had asked me not to.

I promised.

11:00

I wake up just in time to be able to start Geometry which seems to be the only subject in which Gackpo-sensei isn't used as a sleeping aide. I peel my face of the pages of my history textbook and puzzled when I discover that my cheeks are wet with tears. But why was I crying. I pull the rest of my face off the paper praying to the gods of getting unstuck, that there wasn't kanji marking my face as the Asuka period.

"You've been crying in your sleep a lot lately..."

Rei is resting his head on the edge of the desk, gold eyes examining my face. He looks so cute. Wait, what was that? I thought I wasn't in love with him anymore. Thats right. I don't care about him at all. He is just like a cute dog.

"I'm fine, it's none of your business!"

What wasn't his business? I don't even know what there was to be my business. I do my best to ignore the scruffy black haired boy kneeling in front of my desk. I realize that today there really is something different about Rei.

"Well if you don't want to talk, I won't bother you."

As he leaves I figure out the difference. His hair seems to be tied back into a small ponytail. Who did that remind me of? I should stop think of him any more than I have.

12:00

Luka says she has to got to the library so Miku and Rei, with me in tow, walk to the doors at that open into the space outside.. Rei whispers something to Miku and I can't help but feel a bit jealous. They seem to walk closer than a normal pair of friends would. But as soon as I step out into the sunlight my jealousy vanishes. It is as if a light pink snow had lighted upon the every inch of the courtyard. In the center a space had been cleared forming a heart, and inside were the words あたし好き凛です(I love Rin). Rei grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the carpet of sakura blossoms that littered the ground.

"Rin. I love you. So…"

He takes a deep breath before hesitating for a second.

"Will you do me the honor of letting me be your boyfriend?"

I look at him a second before responding. I am suddenly very aware of my heartbeat.

"Rei, I am not sure I exactly return your feelings yet so will you please wait for me to fall in love with you? Right now we're friends, lets not mess that up."

Why was I so unsure about this? I am sure that I had fallen out of love with him, but what was this feeling that was making me choke up? If he had asked me on a five days ago would I have said yes?

Rei smiles sadly. His gold eyes seemed dulled, the rings around his irises that I had never noticed before seeming to emphasize the cloudiness of the eye. His black hair looked like it was fading, bits of silver starting at the roots, no, not silver, blonde.

"I will wait for you till the world falls apart and I until I take my last breath."
