Rin stared up at the cloud covered sky as the rain fell heavily with a frown. Her nose scrunched in distaste as the sound of the rain echoed as she stood at the entrance of the school. Rin had always hated the rain.

Rainy days have always been considered gloomy or sad.

With its lack of sunshine and its odd timings, it was probably the most depressing weather to exist. For Rin, that was how she always viewed the rain.

It was dark and depressing, to the point it kind of spoils the mood for Rin.

"I hope the rain stops soon." She looked over to her side and saw Teto standing next to her, wearing a disappointed frown. "I really want to go home and take a nice warm bath."

"Where's Gumi?" Rin asked, curious as to why she wasn't around. Teto glanced at her then back at the rain. "She's doing some club activities today so she'll be coming later." She explained before fully turned to Rin. "By the way, why are you still here? I thought you'd gone home by now."

Rin smiled sheepishly at her best friend. "Well yeah but...I forgot my umbrella today so..." She trailed off while Teto shook her head and sighed. "Typical Rin, of all days to forget your umbrella it had to be today." She clicked her tongue, acting like a parent who was scolding their child for doing something wrong. Rin sweat dropped and pouted.

"How about you? You don't even have an umbrella for yourself."

"...Well, I had to many things in my bag so I intentionally left it."

"Wouldn't that still mean you can't leave here like me?"

"...Oh nevermind."

Rin giggled. but technically, she wasn't really going back home...she was going to meet up with Kaito but she didn't quite explained it to Teto and Gumi since she knew very well that they might tease her about but...this might be her chance to tell them where she was really heading to. "Right, anyways Teto I-"

"Rin-chan!"

Rin froze when she heard a familiar voice call out to her. Oh no... She reluctantly turned around to see a certain teal haired boy running towards her with an umbrella at hand. She paled then glanced over to Teto for a second then bak to Mikuo. "H-Hi Mikuo."

She could feel Teto staring at her heatedly and she shuddered. Rin couldn't blame- she did after all called out to a guy whom Teto didn't know, in such an overly familiar fashion which wasn't really like her.

"Are you going home already?" Mikuo asked as soon as he stopped in front of her. Rin began sweating bullets as she forced out a smile. "Yeah um, but I'm just waiting out the rain since I...don't have an umbrella."

"Oh I see." Mikuo nodded then he grinned. "Then why not we share an umbrella? I'll walk you home if you like."

"Um..."

"Rin, who is this?" Teto cut in, inspecting Mikuo's form with curiosity and confusion. Rin sucked in a breath and looked over to Teto. "Right um...Teto, this is Mikuo, he's my...friend." Rin strained at the word, Mikuo cast a glance at Rin, his smile strained a bit but Rin mentally shaking her head. "Mikuo, this is Teto, she's my best friend since we were kids."

"Hi there! I'm Mikuo Hatsune." Mikuo smiled and stuck out his hand towards Teto. "Its nice to meet you." Teto smiled back and took his hand, shaking it. "Same here, I'm Teto Kasane by the way."

Mikuo nodded then let go of her hand and turned to Rin. "So what do you say? Want to go home together?" Rin began raming into her head for some excuse or something to say.

"Hey Rin...Can I talk to you first?" Teto said, smiling apologetically towards Mikuo. Rin inwardly sighed in relief and nodded then smiled a bit at Mikuo who smiled back and noudge his head, telling her to go on. Teto pulled Rin over to the end of the shoe lockers, away from Mikuo and she looked at Rin worriedly. "Rin...is there something going on...between the two of you?"

Rin gulped and laughed shakily. "W-What do you mean?"

"Well its just...you two seem really...close."

"We're friends...so of course we're close."

"You know that's not what I mean, Rin."

Rin paused for a moment and stared at Teto who looked at her seriously. There was a minute of silence before Rin sighed. "Teto, I'm serious...there is nothing going on between me and Mikuo, we're just friends I swear."

Teto looked at Rin with uncertainty. "You...sure there is nothing between the two of you?" Rin nodded rapidly. Teto frowned then sighed. "Alright." She sighed. "I believe you...sorry for doubting you Rin."

Rin shook her head. "Nah, its fine." She said.

"But you have to understand why I'm asking you this...you are after all dating Shion-san."

Rin's heart skipped a beat at that. "Y-Yeah."

"For a moment, I was worried...you might've be cheating Shion-san." Teto added. "He seemed like the type who would never betray or hurt you! I mean Shion-san's the kind of person you wouldn't want to lose so..."

Rin cringed at the hurtful words Teto was unintentionally saying. Talk about rubbing salt to an already painful wound. Rin stared down at the ground, her ribbon drooping slightly as her hair fell slight towards her eyes. Teto paused from her rambling when she noticed Rin looking down at her feet. "Rin?" She called. She couldn't tell what Rin's expression looked, her hair blocked her face.

She looked up and smiled a little at Teto. "Yeah..." She muttered. "I know." Teto grew concern but said nothing. She wondered if she said something and thinking of something else to say. "...Why not go with Hatsune-kun for now."

This time, Rin slowly looked up and tilted her head in confusion. Teto scratched her head sheepishly. "Well, going home with a really hot guy doesn't mean anything right? Eh, I mean you two seem nice togeth- wait, that's not what I meant I mean er..."

Rin stared at Teto as she rambled on. She couldn't help but giggle a bit at how distressed Teto was but then when she remembered what Teto said, she frowned. Did Teto say Mikuo was hot?

She felt this strange feeling in her insides...was she jealous? Rin twitched. No, she shouldn't be jealous. This was Teto after all, it was completely normal for her to be fawning over hot guys so she shouldn't feel jealous about anything...

She then thought about Kaito. He was always kind and gentle so he must be popular in the college he was going...

"He seemed like the type who would never betray or hurt you! I mean Shion-san's the kind of person you wouldn't want to lose so..."

Rin felt her heart sank as she thought of what Teto said. It was true, he was the kind of person no one on earth would want to lose. He was so loving that it hurts...

"-Anyways we shouldn't let Hatsune-kun wait." Teto said, snapping Rin out of her thoughts. "Y-Yeah you're right." She nodded.

With that, the two ended the discussion and walked back to Mikuo who was waiting patiently. Noticing them approaching, Mikuo grinned bright. "Hey, done with your talk?"

Teto nodded. "Yeah, sorry if we took so long. I just wanted to confirm things that's all Hatsune-kun." Mikuo shook his head then laughed. "Nah, don't worry about it. Oh and by the way, you don't need to call me 'Hatsune-kun' since you're Rin's best friend you can call me Mikuo."

This time, it was Teto who laughed. "Sorry Hatsune-kun but I'm more comfortable if you call by your last name, if you don't mind."

Mikuo shrugged. "Suit yourself." The two exchanged small talk while Rin stayed silent but deep down...she realized something and panicked. Teto said she should go home with Mikuo but then...how about Kaito? She was suppose to go to his apartment today!"Anyway Rin." Rin looked up at Mikuo. "Lets go?"

"Eh? But..." Rin glanced over to Teto. "Its fine Rin, I'll just wait for Gumi, hopefully she'll have an umbrella." Teto said but that didn't help Rin at all. "Well Rin?" She looked back at Mikuo then at Teto. "Rin?"

She gulped, feeling a pressure on her head which made her a bit dizzy. What should she do? If she went home with Mikuo, she wouldn't be able to meet up with Kaito. She could call him and tell him she couldn't see him but then, it would be like she was avoiding him because she hadn't seen him for weeks already, but if she rejected Mikuo right now...she would end up hurting him..

"Rin?"

She closed her eyes for a moment. She can't do it. "I'm so sorry Mikuo but I'll have to go ahead." She bowed lowly then without looking at them, she dashed into the rain as two voice cried out for her. "Rin!"

Rin didn't stop running through the wet pavement. She panted, a puff of white mist exhaled from her mouth at each pant and huff she let out. She wanted to go home for now...but she had to see Kaito first. He was always the person who gave her the most comfort. He was nice to be around...

Unfortunately to her luck, just as she was about to reach the crossing to the train station, the streetlight went red and cars began rushing through. Rin was forced to stop in the middle of the rain. She panted heavily and shivered, finally feeling the rain soaking her entire body. a few people who stood near her with umbrellas, looked at her in disapproval which both embarrassed and frustrated her. She groaned to herself.

Rin then thought back to Mikuo and then the guilt set in. She just ran away from him without even explaining the reason why she did it but then again, what reason can she give?

She can't just tell him that she was going to Kaito's place like it wasn't a bad thing. It would break his heart! She remembered the time she asked Mikuo to keep their relationship a secret and explained that her friends would never leave her alone if they knew.

It was partly the truth but there was another reason...If everyone found out about them together it might spread and reach Kaito. She didn't want that.

Mikuo agreed of course, but she didn't miss that look of disappointment flash on his face for a second. She had never felt so terrible in her life.

She closed her eyes for a moment and sighed as the shower of water continued falling onto her soaked body. She really hated the rain.

That was until she felt the rain stop, at least around her. Rin opened her eyes and looked up to see an umbrella over her head then glanced beside her to see a young man, probably close to her age, standing next to her with a blank expression on his face as he looked at the distance. She blinked but said nothing as she scanned his form.

He had blond hair that was tied into a ponytail and light blue eyes that simply stared ahead. He was a bit taller than her and he wore casual clothes.

He didn't wear their uniform so was he from another school? Rin wondered but now that she thought of it...

He was rather handsome actually.

Rin blushed a bit but shook the thought away as the light turned green. She continue glancing at him as they crossed the street together. He walked next to her, shielding her from the rain until they reached the train station.

The moment they reach the end of the street. The boy folded his umbrella, turned and walked down the stairs, leading to the underground trains.

"U-Um-!" Rin started hesitantly, unsure what to say. Was it all a coincidence? Was it because they were walking at the same pace that she was able to get out of the rain?

That was when she noticed that his left shoulder a slight wet...the shoulder where the umbrella wasn't held.

Rin sucked in a deep breath. So he intentionally shared his umbrella with her, a complete and total stranger.

She smiled gently, she opened her mouth to yell out her thanks but then a sudden group of people blocked her way and Rin found herself being swept away from the crowd.

Rin struggled for a while before pulling herself out of the crowd. She looked back at the stairs where the boy went but he was long gone. Rin sighed in disappointment but then she smiled once more. He was a really kind person.

She then looked at her watch and gasped. It was getting late, she had to be Kaito's place soon. She gave once last glance down the stairs before running into the crowd to get to the trains.

Len honestly didn't like the rain much but even so...he thought rain was rather beautiful.

Only a very few realize the beauty of it and the soothing comfort the rain gave. For Len, he thought rain was the prettiest thing ever but that did not change the fact it was cold and wet.

He sighed as he walked down the street, an umbrella held loosely in one hand. He came back to his apartment a few minutes before the rain then he left once more but with an umbrella at hand. He never did like staying alone in that empty apartment, it was too quiet for him.

His eyes softened a bit in melancholy. It was always too silent in that apartment. He shook his head and groaned. He was feeling rather pessimistic today, maybe it was because of the weather. Yeah, it had to be it.

His phone began to ring, causing Len to pause. He took out his phone and saw it was a message from Neru.

To: Len Kagamine

From: Neru Akita

Hey Len! Since its already after school, I was thinking of going to your place. I'll be waiting for you.

Len sighed as he tucked his phone back into his pocket. It wasn't unusual for Neru go to his place, in fact he would welcome her. She would usually go there to cook meals for him and even eat with him which he was grateful since he didn't like eating a good meal alone.

Well, since Miku texted him that she would go out with her friends today. Len might as well go home. As he was close to the crossing, he noticed a girl who stood there, wet because of the rain. It was rather easy to spot her since she was the only one who didn't have an umbrella.

He noticed she was wearing a familiar school uniform, so she went to same school as him... He looked at her form from bottom to top. She completely soaked that the uniform was sticking to her like second skin. She had short blond hair that reached her shoulders, bright blue eyes, and big white ribbon on her head but it was wrinkled and drooped on her head because of the rain.

Len thought she was really pretty but he shook his head He seriously felt like a creep for just standing there and staring at her.

Though he thought it was such a waste to let a beauty like her be stuck in the rain like this. He thought about it for a minute before walking up towards her and stood next to her. He tilted his umbrella a bit to let her shield her from the rain some more.

He noticed from the corner of his eye that the girl was looking at him in confusion but he didn't make a move to speak to her. The light turned green and the girl continued glancing at him but still he do anything until they reached the end of the street.

Len folded up his umbrella and moved down the stairs. "U-Um-" He heard someone say behind him, it probably the girl. He continued walking down the stairs but paused and glanced over his shoulder. She was gone.

Len scoffed to himself. Of course, she was gone. What was he expecting? But Len couldn't help but feel a bit proud of himself for doing something what people would call 'kind' or 'generous' especially to someone as cute as her but then again...even if that person wasn't cute, he might've still done it.

He wondered who that girl was then he shrugged. Well, since she goes to the same school as him, he might see her again...

Len turned back and continued his way...with this odd feeling of hope of meeting that girl again.
