~ Dreaming of Freedom Chapter 6
Len POV
"What to do… What to dooo…" I thought aloud. Oh my God…. for once I can genuinely state that I'm so bored that I would gladly welcome any work of any kind.
"Hey, shortie." I heard someone say behind me. The voice sounded like it belonged to a boy, about 16 or so.
"Huh?" I turned around to see a boy with short, messy teal hair that complemented his bright, sky blue eyes almost perfectly. He was wearing a black tee shirt with teal edging and black sweatpants with a ribbon of teal running down the sides.
"Ya a new'be?" He asked, tilting his head slightly at me and putting his hand on his hip. I twitched my eyebrow and nodded.
"well then, welcome to the Kagamine Mansion. Names' Mikuo." He extended his arm out towards me and I shook it.
"Kagamine Len."
"Have you seen a girl about my height with pigtails anywhere around here? Master wants her." Mikuo asked. He must mean that girl in the kitchen- what was her name? Miki-err… Miko, Miku- Oh yeah it was Miku!
"You mean Miku? No, not since sunset. She was in the kitchen the last time I saw her." I said, hoping I actually saw her in the kitchen around sunset. Wait- yeah, I had to be in the kitchen around sunset because the Sun was setting by the time Rin and I got to the roof. And dang that sunset really was beautiful… DAMMIT! I forgot to thank Rin! I mentally facepalmed myself. Slaves are supposed to say thank you to their mistresses. I'll be whipped for sure, I thought, shivering.
"I already checked there. God dammit, she knows she's supposed to be making snacks for Rin." He said, rolling his eyes.
"I can go check Rin's room if you want, I don't have anything better to do." I offered. It would give me a chance to figure out why Rin flipped earlier today and- wait a minute, since when do I care?
"Thanks! See ya 'round Len." He turned heel and ran towards the kitchen, his shoelaces tripping him every few feet or so. I rolled my eyes at the skipper and walked through the hallway. It would make sense for Miku to be in Rin's room right? I mean- Miku was supposed to do the same thing I was doing. I tried to remember if I had seen her when I had left Rinto's room. No I didn't see her, but I probably figured she'd already gone back to the kitchen. Uggh, why was I even chosen for the Kitchen duty? I suck at cooking. There was this one time when I accidentally burned my master's pancakes when I was eleven… and I was slashed across the arm three times.
As I stood in front of Rin's room I could hear someone…crying? What the hell…? I pressed my ear up against the door and indeed heard someone whimpering. Okay Miku what did you do?
"Hey is everything okay?" I asked , opening the door. Rin was curled up in a little ball with a little teddy bear and pillow while Miku was hugging her in efforts to get her to stop crying. Miku turned to me and gave me an expression that said 'bad timing Len! Bad, bad timing!'
"Oh… well… Mikuo's looking for you, Miku." I said. Miku gave Rin one big, reassuring glomp before standing up and walking over to me.
"Make sure she doesn't commit suicide." She whispered, and then left. Great, what do I do now?
Rin POV
"Great, what do I do now?" I heard Len mutter. WHY THE HELL IS HE IN MY ROOM? I rolled closer to the corner of my bed but the wall stopped me from cornering myself any further. Someone shoot me now…
I heard Len sit on the edge of my bed and wished to God I could just wither up and die, right here, In my own bed with my own stuffed teddy bear, Chimi.
"Rin… What's the matter?" He asked softly. I didn't react, only buried my head deeper into my pillow. I could feel the bed rock as he crawled over to me.
"Rin?" He asked.
"Mmmph." I hiccupped into my pillow.
"at least I know you're still alive." He chuckled. Ren… he sounded almost exactly like Len when he laughed… I went back into emo mode and started tear staining my pillow again.
"Rin, stop."
"I wish I could…" I whispered into the pillow. That's when I felt my Chimi slip out of the crook of my arms as I was hoisted out of the corner.
"Ne…?" I hiccupped. Apparently Len had plopped onto one of my fluffy orange blankets. Self conscious of my tear streaked face, I squeezed my eyes shut and groped for a pillow only to find they were at the other end of … the… bed. Shit. I felt Len wrapping the blanket over me and tucking it in at the sides so it wouldn't unravel. He then lifted me up again and gently dropped me in his lap.
"Ne… Len?" I whispered. He wrapped his arms around me and I realized how warm his body was. I must be cold then…
"You're still shaking." He murmured, looking at me. I could see a bit of worry flash in his eyes as he held me closer. I closed my eyes again and burrowed my head in my blanket seeing it was closer. " I'm -hic- cold."
He felt my cheek with his left hand.
"Yeah, you are. Cold as ice." He looked at me and added. "What's wrong?"
"You -hic- wouldn't und-hic-derstand."
"I bet I would."
Can't this guy just give up?
"Can I -hic- tell you -hic- later?" Maybe he'll forget….
"…okay."
I sighed and instead of burrowing my head back into my blanket I rested my cheek on Len's chest and hiccup-yawned.
"Tired?" He asked. I nodded, feeling my eyelids droop. He rubbed his hand up and down my back and yawned as well. "Me too."
I thought he was going to leave and go to his catacombs, but he still stayed and rubbed my back witch seemingly and soothingly lulled me to sleep.
