Eight: All Better
Kisses can make any pain go away
Age- 1
"Rin! Len! Come to Mommy!"
The two young toddlers averted their gaze from their toys momentarily to find their mother waiting for them in the living room adjacent to the kitchen they were currently playing in. The woman had a gentle smile on her face, her arms stretched out toward her beautiful children. Hearing her mother's call, Rin instantly had a grin on her chubby, baby face. She knew that when her mother called, it was only to shower her with love and the attention that all babies her age craved. Len, however, stared longingly at the block tower he and his sister were currently building. Given a choice he would rather finish it, and be praised for it when his mother found how perfect it looked.
Rin lifted herself slowly off the ground and into a standing position, being careful not to lose her balance. They were both still new to this walking thing and hadn't gotten it down quite yet. Len was especially clumsy. The boy watched his sister turn and head toward the woman waiting in the next room. Not wanting to be left alone, he pulled himself up as well, slowly but surely. When he heard his mother gasp and a loud thud, he snapped his blonde head in Rin's direction so fast that he nearly toppled over. It seems that the little girl had underestimated her walk, tripping over a stray block and landing onto the floor on her stomach. Being the good child that he was, Len felt no need to laugh at her misfortune as others his age would surely do, and instead toddled after her in a baby's version of a run.
"Oh, Rin, are you alright?" Their mother quickly walked to her daughter, beaten only by Len who toddled over to her first. As the woman helped Rin sit back up, Len let himself plop beside her.
"Otay, Win?" He asked in the slurred language of baby talk. The girl sniffed in response, tears welling in her blue eyes, and looking ready to burst into tears at any minute. Her mother gently stroked her hair, trying to sooth her. Len was busy taking notice of how Rin held onto her arm so tightly. He knocked her hand away, discovering a small red splotch on her elbow where she had fallen on it onto the hardwood floor. Rin watched him cautiously, and then made a small sound of surprise when the baby boy suddenly leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on the red mark.
"Dere," He said, grinning at her, "All better." The tears that had built up in Rin's eyes now spilled over onto her cheeks, but instead of a cry, a giggle left her mouth as she smiled and nodded.
Age -5
"You can't catch me, Len! You've gotta be faster than this!" Rin taunted as she practically hurdled over the diving board of the family pool.
"Come back here!"
"No way! It's tag! You've gotta get me!" She giggled, sending a small glance over her shoulder at the boy chasing after her, and steadily gaining on her. Len growled, pushing himself to run faster after his sister. He abosultely hated being 'it' when they played tag. Hated it with an undying passion that no one will ever understand. Rin cheated somehow, he knew it. He was always 'it' first. That was no coincidence.
As the girl rounded around a rose bush, Len simply jumped through it in a chance to catch up. He stretched out his arm ready to infect his sibling with the torture that was being 'it,' but he swiped, and missed. So close! Rin turned to run backwards, sticking her tongue out at him in a mocking gesture, and he flushed with frustration. Picking up his speed once more, he eyed Rin's next path, rounding around the pool once again, her tennis shoes making sharp stomping sounds on the cement border.
Len followed closely behind, moving from the grassy lawn to the cement with a jump. Determined not to lose again, he kept a close watch on Rin's feet, making observations to help determine her next direction. As she reached the diving board she again, began a jump over it. But this time, her foot caught on the side, causing her to stumble to regain her blanace. Len smiled, seeing a chance to both tag her, and possible make her stumble into the pool. So before she could recover from her temporary loss of balance he made a quick and stupid decision.
He dove. Right over the board toward his unsuspecting target. Unfortunately for him, Rin had already fixed her footing and took off again just as he reached for her. With no one to break his fall, the boy made a straight path into the cement, using his hands and knees to save his head from meeting the hard stone.
Hearing his sharp cry of pain, Rin halted and spun on her heel.
"Len! Are you ok?" She asked as he clutched onto his bleeding knee.
"No...It really hurts." He hissed, tears of pain forming in the corner of his eyes, but being held back. If there was anything Len hated more than being 'it' than it had to be crying. Big boys shouldn't cry.
"C'mon, we need Mama to help it." Rin said, holding out her hands to help him off the ground. Reluctant to remove the pressure from his knee, he placed his hands in hers and allowed her to help him up. The blonde female slung his arm over her shoulder to help him walk back to the house, seeing as he couldn't do it himself without limping. It seems he'd scraped both of his knees up, and looking at his hand in hers Rin could see the cuts there too.
"Mama!" Rin called as she kicked open the back door of her home.
"Rin, how many times have I told you not to kick the doors...." The woman sighed from her place in the kitchen.
"Len fell down. He's bleeding." This captured her attention. She departed the kitchen and raced into the downstairs bathroom, grabbing the first aid kit she had cleverly purchased after she discovered how clumsy her children actually were. Heading back into the living room she picked up her son and brought him to sit on the kitchen counter.
"What happened this time?"
"Tripped."
"Geez, what am I going to do with you, Len?"
"He's so clumsy!"
"Shutup, Rin!"
"Don't tell your sister to shutup."
"Sorry, Mama..." The woman quickly cleaned out his wounds, and placed large bandages over both knees, and wrapped his left hand. When satisfied with her work she placed him on the floor and told the two to go play inside for awhile. So, settling with a simple board game, the twins set up in their room ready to stay for a while. But as Len took his turn with the game, picking up the dice and tossing it back onto the cardboard stage, Rin couldn't help but stare at his bandages.
"Hey, Len?"
"What?"
"Do they hurt?"
"Do what hurt?"
"Your owies.."
"Oh, um....yeah, a little." Rin frowned before moving the game board aside and crawling over to her brother. She leaned down and kissed both his knees and then taking his hand in her own, kissed that too.
"There, all better?" She asked. Len stared at her for a moment before laughing a bit.
"Yeah," he said, "All better."
Age- 9
"Rin! Be careful! Teacher might see!"
"C'mon Len! It's not so bad up here." Rin clutched onto the trunk of the tree she was climbing, using random twigs and branches to hoist herself up onto one of the thicker branches up top. The tree wasn't all that high, but it was high enough to make Len, who remained on the ground, panic. His sister was always climbing the trees on the playground at their school. She got in trouble for it regularly by scouting teachers. But Len worried for her safety. He never wanted anything to do with the trees, being afraid of heights. So for the same reasons he didn't like the idea of her up there either. One wrong step and she could fall and break her neck.
"I-I'll stay down here, thanks."
"You're such a chicken. Aren't you supposed to be a man?" Rin taunted, waving at him from her position on a branch. She stood with complete balance, holding onto the trunk with one hand. Len fumed at having his masculinity questioned, but it still didn't make him forget what could happen should his dear sibling fall. If she fell, she would break her neck and die, and if she died, the boy had no idea what he would do. He and Rin were like two halves of the same person; they were twins after all. If he lost her, that meant losing half of himself.
This was the way he thought.
"Hey, I think I can see our house from up here!" Rin called, making imaginary binoculars with her hands, looking like the captain of a ship in the crows nest.
"Please, come down now. You're going to get-"
"Rin Kagamine! You get down here this instant!" One of the scouting teachers shouted as he spotted the mischeivious girl at her post. She pouted, realizing her fun for the day was over.
"But I'm not hurting anything!" She argued.
"I don't care! You get your feet back on the ground, right now!" He said strictly, coming to stand by the male Kagamine as they both waited for her descent.
"But-!"
"Now!"
Rin sighed, puffing up her cheeks in a pout before sliding her foot down off the thicker branch and onto a knot on the tree. But of course, being that she was Rin Kagamine, one of the clumsy and unlucky duo that were the Kagamine twins, the knot snapped, sending her falling straight to the ground with no chance of stopping.
"Rin!" Len shouted, rushing toward the screaming girl before she could hit the ground. With a loud thud and several groans of pain, Len managed to dive just beneath the spot where she would fall, causing her to land instead on the boy himself. But even with the soft cushiony break in the fall, her arm still missed the boy beneath her, hitting the ground with a loud 'snap.'
It was quiet for a moment before the pain began to register. Rin screamed as she held her now broken arm to her chest, tears flowing freely from her eyes. The teacher, knowing exactly what was wrong, picked the girl up off of the ground, letting Len get to his feet, and began to carry her toward the school. Len followed loyally, not caring one bit about the pain he felt in his back, head, and shoulders.
Rin was brought to the nurses office, and Len sat in one of the plush chairs in the room, watching and waiting patiently as the nurse put his sister's arm in a sling and told her to wait on the examination chair while she called their mother. When the woman had left the room, Len lifted himself up from the chair, wincing as pain shot through his spine. But he ignored it, focused more on the quiet sobs of his twin as she stared at her arm.
"I told you this would happen." He said in a tone that was neither mocking or in a 'I told you so' manner. Rin sniffed and lifted her head to glare at him for a moment, but then her expression softened as more sobs left her throat.
"S-sorry..." She mumbled. Well, what a surprise. Rin apologizing? How odd. Len again ignored the pain in his body as he crawled up onto the chair, next to her, and patted her head. He was careful not to mess up the pretty white ribbon she had recently begun to wear in it, after Len had bought it for her as a gift.
"Hey, Rin?"
"What?"
"Does it hurt?"
"What do you mean? Of course it hurts, idiot. It's broken after all." Rin mumbled between sniffs. Then without hesitation, the boy carefully moved the cloth of the sling to the side, revealing a bit of the broken limb. He knew that once their mother arrived, they would go to the hospital where a cast would be placed over it, and he wouldn't get to do this after that. Being careful as to not move her arm at all, he quickly kissed the bruised section of arm before correcting the sling.
"There," he mumbled, "it may hurt now, but soon it'll be all better." He said calmly, with a soft blush at the surprised look the girl gave him. It wasn't surprise at his action but more surprise that he hadn't managed to hurt it at all.
With another sniff, Rin nodded.
"Yeah, once your 'medicine' sets it....it'll be all better."
Age- 11
"Go team!"
"You can do it!"
"C'mon, Len! Hit it outta the park!"
Len adjusted his helmet as he turned, looking through the chainlink fence at the small set of bleachers where a handful of parents and other children sat and cheered for their local baseball team. Even with all the other voices shouting over each other, he could always pick out the one cheering for him. He grinned and flashed a peace sign at a blonde girl sitting in the front of the crowd, who in turn winked and gave him a thumbs up.
It wasn't his turn to bat yet, but he was on deck, waiting beside the dugout. He fiddled with the metal bat in his hands as he watched the current batter. The only boy on the team who wore glasses, and the only boy other than Len who wore his hair in a ponytail.
"Alright, Ted! You got this no problem!" A girl named Teto shouted from behind the fence. Len could see the smirk on Ted's face as he readied his stance. The red-haired teen wasn't a very good hitter, but when he did score one it usually went straight out of the park. All they needed was that one little miracle to win this game. And if he couldn't do it....it was up to Len.
The pitcher, a blue-haired boy that looked like he had no business playing sports, reeled back and threw the first ball.
"Strike one!" The umpire called as Ted swung and missed. The red-head shrugged it off, reclaiming his batting stance.
"Strike two!" He called again as another pitch shot by into the catcher's mitt.
"Boo! Umpire, what game are you watching?" Teto shouted, her bubbly voice taking away from the threatning tone she was going for. Len began to feel nervous, not wanting the pressure of the winning hit on him. He silently prayed for Ted to get a hit. He sighed and pulled off his helmet, wiping away some sweat that had formed beneath his bangs.
"Go on, Kaito! One more and this losers out!" A member of the opposing team shouted from his post at first base. Kaito nodded and readied the ball in his hand. He pulled back and threw for a third time.
"CRACK!"
The sound of the bat hitting the ball echoed through the small diamond, and instantly many began to either feel elated, or discouraged. Len, however, had no time to feel anything before the small ball colided with his face.
Ted had managed to hit a foul ball, sent right at the helmet-less Len, who had no chance to see it coming. He was sent to the ground, his head throbbing and his face scrunched in pain. His palms flew to his forehead, clutching and applying as much pressure as he could to relieve the throbbing pain.
"Len!"
"Dude, are you alright?"
"What happened?"
Instantly the blonde boy was surrounded by his team mates. One of them knelt down and helped him to sit up through the blinding pain.
"Clumsy Kagamine strikes again!" Someone shouted, sending a fit of giggles through the small cluster.
"Outta my way! Move it!" Len cracked open one eye, peering beneath the palm of his hand, as the coach approached her wounded player. A tall woman with silvery hair, (and Len would notice a rather large bust size) knelt down in front of the boy.
"Are you alright, Len?"
"Ah...My head's spinning." He replied.
"If it were a foul hit by anyone other than Ted it would be fine."
"Aheh...my bad?" Ted said nervously.
"C'mon, Kagamine, you're sitting out for now." The woman pulled Len to his feet and helped him back to the dugout where she sat him down and then returned to the feild. Len sat there for a few minutes, hissing in pain, before he suddenly felt cold pressure against his hands. He jumped and opened his eyes to see Rin sitting next to him.
"Move your hands." She ordered, and he did so, allowing her to press a small bag of ice against his forehead. He went to hold the bag himself, but was knocked away by the girl.
"I'll do it." She mumbled. Len sighed.
"Should have known that would happen." He said, and Rin smiled softly.
"Well if the ball didn't hit you, something worse might have happened. You know how we attract pain and danger."
"Yeah yeah. That's the reason they gave us that stupid nickname."
"I dunno. It's kind of got a nice ring to it."
"You're such a weirdo, Rin." Len laughed, and winced as more throbbing pain shot through his skull. Rin frowned, seeing his pain.
"Hey, Len?"
"Hm?"
"Does it hurt?"
"Ah, yeah. It'll probably leave a huge bruise." He sighed, and opened his eyes as Rin removed the ice from his skin. Instead she replaced it with her lips, giving the spot her traditional 'medicine' before placing the ice back on. She made it quick so Len's team mates wouldn't see and make fun of him later.
"There....all better." She whispered.
Age- 15
"I'm home..."
"Welcome home." Len said as he flipped a page of his book. He heard the front door shut and the shuffling of his sister's feet as she dragged them across the carpet. Her bag was thrown into the empty chair next to the couch rather roughly, and taking notice of this Len looked up from his novel to glance at her.
Rin had a far-off, distant look on her face. One that screamed that something was troubling her. Len slowly shut his book.
"How was your day?" He asked. The boy wouldn't know anything about school life that day, having to stay home to get a cast off of his recently broken ankle. He was just greatful he could see his foot again.
"Fine." Rin sighed, and continued on to her room. As the door shut, the male Kagamine bit down on his lip, having a silent debate with himself on whether or not to follow her. Something was obviously eating at her, and he hated seeing her when she was so down. So, with a deep breath, he lifted himself from the couch and traveled into the hall, stopping only when he reached the door marked with a large letter R. He rapped his knuckles against the wood, calling for his sister.
"Come in." Came a monotone, and slightly muffled reply. Len pushed open the door, and looked around the room, finding Rin face first in one of her pillows on the bed. Now he was positive something was wrong.
"Rin.....is there something wrong?" He asked, shutting her door behind him. She replied with something muffled by the pillow, but shook her head no.
"C'mon, Rin, tell the truth." Len said sternly. He watched her take a deep breath before lifting her face off of the pillow.
"It's Mikuo..." She mumbled. Len scowled and rolled his eyes. Mikuo. As in Mikuo Hatsune. Rin's boyfriend of two months and official douche bag. Len absolutely hated the teal haired male, mostly because of him dating his sister.....Rin was definitely too good for him.
"Did you two have another fight?"
"Kind of...."
"Want to talk about it?" Len took a seat on the edge of her bed as Rin slowly sat up to allow him room. She opened her mouth to say something, but then shut it and nodded. He waited a long moment before she finally opened her mouth to speak again.
"I was going to lunch today....." She began, pausing once more.
"Uh-huh."
"A-and I walked by the s-storage room. Y-you know, next to the girl's bathroom?"
"Yes?"
"A-and I saw the door move a few times. So I opened it, thinking maybe Kaito had locked himself in again. Like he did those other times....."
"Yes, I'm aware of his stupidity."
"So I opened it.....and Mikuo fell out.....Lying on top of some girl. And he looks at me, a-and s-says.....'It's not what it looks like.' B-but....I...." She stopped again, letting her chin hit her chest. Without missing a beat, her brother wrapped his arms around her, holding her close and gently petting her golden locks. Rin gave in, clutching the fabric of his T-shirt and letting tears freely pour from her eyes.
"Rin, I'm so sorry....." Len mumbled against her hair, "Does it hurt?"
"B-badly...." She sobbed, "My heart feels l-like it w-will e-explode...." Slowly her face lifted as Len pulled her head back up, his hands cupping her face. Taking his time he kissed her tears away, then her eyelids, and then leaned down to kiss the place on her chest above her heart. Then, oblivious to her blushing face, he rested his forehead against hers and stroked her cheeks with his thumbs.
"I'll make it all better." He promised.
"Where is he?" Rin asked with a sigh as she stepped into the make-shift nurses station.
"You should be in class." The woman replied, turning the page in a magazine.
"It's lunch time, Nurse Megurine. Otherwise, I'd have a pass." The pink haired nurse sighed with a soft smile.
"Touche, Ms. Kagamine. He's in the back. I swear you two are here more than I am." She chuckled as she went back to her magazine. Rin thanked her and went back into the next room where a bed had been placed for sick or injured students waiting for their parents to come get them. The boy currently lying in it was one belonging to the second category. With his school shirt discarded, one could clearly see the cuts, bruises, and scratches all over his body. As the female entered, she closed the door softly behind her and set the two bento boxes she'd brought with her on the counter.
"You're such an idiot. You know that?" She sighed, opening up one of the boxes.
"Idiot? I just wanted to make you feel better."
"And how can I feel better when your covered in bruises?" She snapped, turning to face him with her hands on her hips. Len gave her a guilty look, scratching the back of his head as he sat up.
"I...didn't think of it that way..."
"Which is why you're an idiot.....Here, your lunch." She mumbled, handing him the open bento. He took it, picking up the set of chopsticks and breaking them.
"Well.....I at least made an impression on him."
"You didn't need to start a fight with him." Rin took a seat in the visitor's chair and she opened her box as well.
"Like hell I didn't!" Len shouted before shoving a piece of egg into his mouth, "That asshole deserved it after what he did to you."
"What Mikuo did was nothing to beat him up over. Given, I wanted to kick that bastard square in the bean bags, but I didn't. You however, go on a freakin' rampage....It's fine. I'll get over the break up....It's not like I was in love." Rin mumbled as she took a bite of rice.
"Still, if you date my adorable little sister, you better treat her like a fucking princess." Len said boldly, leaning back against the wall.
"A p-princess? Len, are you that over protective of me?" Rin asked, blushing slightly.
"Of course I am. I don't like seeing you mistreated. So I kicked that bastards ass."
"Well, I'll admitt you got him pretty good.....You at least got to spend second period in here. He had to go home..."
"Damn straight." He nodded. The female stared at her brother, forgetting the food in her hands. Len was oblivious to this, instead practically inhaling the food that had been made for him.
"Well," Rin sighed finally, setting her bento on the nightstand, "You may be an idiot....But you're my idiot. And your idiocy was for my benifet....so....thank you."
"You're welcome." Len grinned, glad she wasn't angry.
"And since you were thinking of my feelings, I'll think about yours and help speed up your recovery."
"Wha-?" He was cut off as Rin placed a kiss on a bruise that was spread out on his cheek. As she pulled back to sit down once again she smiled.
"All better."
Age 17-
"Move over, Rin! Miku is going to win this game!"
"You wish, greeny!"
"For the last time! My hair is not green! It's teal!"
"Whatever, you're still going down." Rin shrugged, controller held tightly in her hands. Her friend, Hatsune Miku (no relation to a certain ex), sat beside her on the blonde's bed, her controller moving wildly as she moved her hands in different directions. They were playing a fighting game, Miku's character currently getting the crap kicked out of it. It drove the tealette absolutely insane. Especially since Rin was a sore loser and an obnoxious winner.
"K.O! Player one wins!" The television announced as Rin gave the finishing blow. She raised her arms in victory, and Miku angrily tossed her controller to the floor.
"I told you I'd win!" Rin taunted, making a face. The leek-loving teen beside her folded her arms across her chest with a pout.
"Whatever! I let you win!" She lied.
"Psh, sure you did." Rin laughed, moving to get up from the bed, "Wanna play a different game?"
But Miku wasn't paying attention. Instead she was staring at Rin's foot that still remained on the bed as the other girl was getting off. Quickly, her teal painted fingers wrapped around the blonde girl's ankle, causing her to trip over air without her other foot. Rin toppled forward, which would have been fine if a certain twin hadn't been opening the door to tell the girls that dinner was ready, and Miku was "welcome to stay if she wants" his mother had said. So with the door open, Rin hit her head against the corner, sending the swinging deathtrap back at Len to hit him in the face.
"...Ow..." Both twins said in unison.
"Geez, you two really are clumsy...." Miku sang, releasing Rin's ankle. The owner of said ankle quickly stood up and glared at her friend who laughed and shrugged in her form of an apology.
"Len, are you ok?" Rin sighed, rubbing her temple where the door had hit. The male pushed open the door the rest of the way, hand clamped over his mouth.
"I dunno," he said, removing his hand, "am I bleeding?"
"Big time." Miku said, being able to see his split lip from her position on the bed.
"Ah, crap.....Sorry." Rin quickly apologized, realizing that his injury was her fault.
"C'mon." She grabbed his hand and began to pull him toward the bathroom, shouting for Miku to go ahead downstairs. Len said nothing as he was dragged into the hallway bathroom and made to sit on the side of the tub as Rin dug around in the medicine cabinet for some pain cream. The family had learned to keep bandages, creams, and disinfectants around the house at all times since the twins were born.
"I really am sorry." Rin mumbled, grabbing a rag and wetting it before pressing it to his bleeding lip.
"Not your fault." He replied, taking the small tube of cream from her hands. He went to squeeze some onto his finger and rub it into the split on his lip, but he was stopped by Rin who grabbed his wrist.
"What?" He asked.
"Idiot, I don't want to taste that." She said.
"E-eh?"
"It's our tradition, isn't it?" She asked with a smile.
"Rin...It's not like I have a cut on my arm or something. You don't have to do this one." Len replied, blushing a tad as he realized where his sibling was going with this. Instead of the relieved expression he was expecting, she frowned.
"It won't heal right if I don't." She argued, causing the male to sigh. Usually the knowledge that his sister wanted to give him her 'healing kiss' made him feel undoubtly happy, but this was the first time either of them had been injured in such an...awkward spot.
"You know, one day it's gotta stop." He sighed, but not wanting this fact to be true.
"Doesn't mean it has to be today."
"...."
".....?"
"Fine. Go ahead." He gave in. It wasn't like he was disgusted by getting kissed by his sibling. The problem was that it had the opposite effect. He absolutely loved it. And just the thought of her lips being on his made him both happy and nervous, and his heart beat wildly in his chest as she leaned forward, her eyes shut. He took a breath and closed his eyes, waiting. Then he felt it, soft lips gently pressing against his in their short kiss of healing. But as she pulled away, he forgot himself and reached out to stop her, holding her face.
"L-Len?" Rin whispered, seeing the strange expression in his eyes as he opened them.
"It's not better yet..." He mumbled. As his intentions became clear to her, Rin blushed heavily, but smiled with a shrug.
"If you say so." She breathed before pressing her lips to his once more. Her heart skipped beats as he kissed her back.
"Rin! Len! Are you coming down or what?" Miku's high voice echoed up the stairs, reaching their ears. They instantly seperated, both of them flushed. It was quiet for one awkward second before Rin giggled and snatched the cream from Len's hands. After a second of toying with it, she managed to get a bit onto the split on his lip.
"That should be more than enough." She said.
"And if it's not?" Len asked slyly.
"I'll take care of it later." She replied with a wink, and fixed herself back into a standing position. Len lifted himself up as well, and as Rin began to head for the door, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back.
"One more thing." He mumbled, turning her head to the side and placing a kiss against her temple where she'd met the door. Then he grinned and released her.
"All better."
An- The inspiration for this was really random xD
I cut my hand the other day while trying to cut up an orange, and I showed my friend who kiss it and told me that it was all better now.
I just added a side of twincest in there =w=
