Chapter Thirteen:
Rin
Rin had awoken in the same room she had spent the nights lying with Len. Wait, awakening? Hadn't she died? She remembered the life being sucked out of her and the peaceful feeling she had felt as she closed her eyes for what should have been the last time. She didn't understand why she was alive now, or why her entire body seemed to burn for something she felt she desperately needed.
She heard something crash to the ground in a shattering noise that hurt her sensitive ears. She turned to look at the doorway, Len stood there, glass sitting at his feet. He had dropped whatever he was holding and it had shattered on the floor. He ran over to Rin and hugged her so tight that normally Rin wouldn't be able to breath. It was then tha she noticed that she wasn't breathing and didn't feel any need to. She looked at Len, confused.
Len looked away from her, this was the moment he had waited for, but also the one he had dreaded most. He was an idiot for thinking he could delay telling her. "Rin, you remember me drinking you blood, right?" Rin nodded. "I hope you won't hate me, but after your heart stopped, I gave you my blood. Rin, I'm afraid I made you a monster like I am, I'm sorry... Its just that... I love you so much... I didn't want you to leave me..." Rin sat, frozen for a moment. "Rin?" Len feared the worst.
"Say that again," Rin suddenly said to him.
"I'm sorry I made you this way... I..." Rin stopped him.
"Not that, the other part. The part at the end..."
"You mean how I love yo-" Len was cut off by Rin's sudden kiss. He was shocked at first, but then melted into the kiss.
"I love you too..." Rin whispered after breaking the kiss.
Drinking blood was something Rin had to get used to, but she could live with it especially with Len guiding her. She enjoyed some of her senses, like the sensation she got as the wind brushed across her face and the feeling of Len's fingertips touching her. Rin felt alive for the first time in her entire life, this was the way Rin was supposed to be, the real Rin.
"Len? I was wondering... You drank my blood so could you tell me what my blood tastes like? I'm curious."
"What it tastes like, hm? Not nearly as sweet as your lips." Len teased and Rin's face turned the color of a ripe tomato. Len chuckled, "Ah, your so cute."
"Len!" Rin pouted, hating being treated like a child.
"I'm only playing. I love seeing you blush like this."
"You can be so childish..." Rin said, arms crossed.
"Think you can put up with me for all eternity?" Len asked and Rin leaned in for a kiss.
Living for all eternity? Rin could handle something like that, as long as that eternity was spent by Len's side.
