When things don't seem to be going right...
Rin took a deep sigh and waited for Len's reaction. Len paid no attention to her and continued to devour his apple. Once again, Rin took a large amount of air into her lungs and added an extreme amount force to her exhale. Her brother seemed to be unaware of her presence. Before attempting to grab Len's attention once more, Rin stretched her arm across the table and wrapped her fingers around his wrist. She sighed for a final time.
"Are you ok, Rin?" Len asked, acting as if he fell into her trap.
She gasped. "'Am I alright' you ask? The question is: are you alright?"
Len shrugged in a way that said "Yea, I'm fine, I guess".
Rin sighed for an additional time so express sympathy to him. However, that sigh was only slightly related to the words that came out of her mouth. "Oh, dear brother, your younger sister has been calling you an incest pedophile because you won't stop touching her. Of course she was referring to how you won't let go of her hand when you walk her to the park to play with her friends, but that's irrelevant!
Once upon a few minutes ago she asked me to confront and tell you that you want to be around her much more than she wants to be around you. In fact, she doesn't want to be around you at all! She has to be with other people to be with. So just let go of her, ok?"
"Is… that so?" Len asked with a hint of somberness in his voice after a few moments.
While also stretching her arms, Rin stood up from the kitchen table. "I mean, yea. She doesn't love you the same way you do. So it'd only make sense that she'd feel-"
"For the last time, I don't love her."
She paused for a second. "Len, you have to love her, she's your little sister; your flesh and blood."
"I don't have to 'love' anybody. And I especially will never 'love' her, ok? So please just get off my back." He argued in frustration.
"Len," Rin started as she rolled her eyes, "I'm not a boy – nor do I ever want to be one – so you, a male who may or may not have the same train of thought as all the other males in the world, are seeing this from a different perspective than I. You're hearing, seeing, and thinking different things than I am." And suddenly Rin paused without finishing her thought. And in that time she began to think a new thought. This new thought that interrupted her previous thought made her giggle; then chuckle, and then final burst out into laughter.
He raised an eyebrow at her, as if it were saying 'What the heck is so funny'?
"I just realized that you're not even having the same conversation with me!" She openly admitted. "It's like you're using Yuki as some kind of metaphor for not wanting to let go of Princess Miku. And it's a riot!"
With a sigh Len shook his head in disappointment. "Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound?"
"Oh wait, I'm not done. Because it is true that you don't have to love Princess Miku, but you do. Hence the metaphor!"
"I don't-"
"And she doesn't love you the same way you love her. Hence the metaphor!"
"I don't care how-"
"And she has better people to be with. Hence the metaphor!" Rin was on the verge of busting a gut. "I can totally understand how you're feeling, though. Because compared to Prince Kaito you're not even worthy of ever being in the Princess's presence." She managed to calm herself down. "Man, I wonder what's going on inside your heart right-"
There was a loud thump on the kitchen table which instantly made Rin shut her enlarged mouth. "I swear I've made her happier than that idiotic insect ever has or could ever could! So you can just shut up, Rin!" Len screamed at the top of his lungs.
The only word that could describe the look on her face at that moment was 'shock'. "If you love her so much then-"
"For the last time, and I mean it because I'm going to say this again, I don't love her!"
It was time for Rin to take another approach. She smiled sweetly at Len. "Everybody in the Kingdom of Pure loves Princess Miku. I love her, Yuki loves her, and no matter how many times you say you don't love her, you love her too. I mean, come on dude, she's the 'ever-so-wonderful' Princess Miku. It's hard not to love her.
And you claim to be the only person who can make her feel happier than ever, right? So isn't it, like, your responsibility to do that… for her sake?" She noticed how Len seemed to have no response and shrugged. "Miracles do happen, you know. The worst thing you can possibly do is give up on hope. Crabs are waiting to sing for you."
Ok, I got pretty annoyed that I hadn't finished this chapter after about three weeks, so I finished it today with the least amount of effort I could possibly put into writing a story for you guys. That's why it dove straight into the plot of the chapter. It's most certainly not the worst thing I've ever written, but it's definitely not my best. Hope you managed to enjoy it anyway though!
