Throughout the whole day of school, Rin was worried. She was unable to calm down and was continuously fidgeting with whatever was within arm's reach. She even had to go to the sickbay to get some medicine for her headache that was just about to come in. She was finally relieved that the end of the day was so near.
She sat in her seat, just watching the clock tick, waiting for it to finally reach the end. The bell rang throughout the school and a smile threatened to play at her lips. She quickly packed up, tuning out to whatever homework was being assigned and walked out with her bag slung over her shoulder when the class was dismissed.
Not even caring to go to her locker, she quickly ran out of the school gates, Miku on her tail. Rin figured that she must have been worried too. But nothing compares to what Rin was feeling. Len was her twin after all and whatever pain he was feeling, she could feel too.
So she ran as fast as she could to the train station and got on the next train, which happened to be leaving right now and plopped down in her seat and Miku sat next to her. Able to see through any façade Rin put up, knew that she was hurting, even though she tried not to show any emotions towards it.
"Hey, Rin?" Miku spoke up and Rin turned to her, looking her in the eyes, "Len's gonna be fine alright? Luka-nee texted me and said that they had got back from the hospital and luckily, Len's arm wasn't broken. He'll be fine. He's strong,"
Rin couldn't stop her bottom lip from quivering ever so slightly s her best friend tried to soothe her. She held in her tears as best she could, nodding in agreement, "I know he's strong. He always has been. But this… nothing like this has ever happened to either of us and right now I think he's most likely confused. Confused and scared. Miku, I just want to be there when he needs me, needs someone to talk or needs a shoulder to cry on. He's my brother and I love him. I just want to help him," She reached out and wrapped her arms around Miku's neck, squeezing a little to give her the reassurance she needed.
Miku hugged back, gently patting the back of her head, "It's okay, don't worry. We're almost here anyway," They were only one more stop away from theirs and Rin smiled.
Getting off at their stop, the two girls ran towards their house as fast as their legs would carry them. The fifteen minute walking distance turned into a less than five minute run at the pace they were running.
Careful to slow down when they approached the house, they took out the keys and unlocked the door, heading into the lounge first, figuring that's where they would be. They were right. But they didn't anticipate the scene they came into. Len was leaning against the back of the couch, obviously asleep, white Kaito had his head in Len lap with his hands running through his hair.
Rin turned around and shushed the giggling girl behind her, not wanting to wake the two. They look so peaceful to be woken. She thought and dragged Miku out of the room with her. They agreed to let them sleep for a while longer and just do their own thing until they woke.
Rin went up to her room and noticed that Len's side of the room was a mess. She would usually leave it but today she wanted to clean it for him as he probably wouldn't be able to do it himself. She first made his bed, then went to the floor, getting a cloth to scrub at the smudge of who-knows-what near the end of his bed. She cleaned up all the rubbish surrounding and under the bed, as well as on the bedside table.
"Geez, why are boys so messy?" She grumbled numerous times while cleaning but didn't stop.
Finally, after about what seemed like an eternity to her, the whole room was clean. Satisfied with herself, she went back down to get something to eat as she was hungry. Making sure to go through the lounge, she snuck past the two boys who were still asleep.
After cutting up a few oranges, she peeked her head into the lounge to find that Len had awoken and was blushing furiously. Stifling a giggle, Rin walked in.
"Hi Len. How are you feeling?" She sat down on the recliner next to the couch and began to eat her oranges, inwardly smirking at the blush on his cheeks.
"Oh, hi Rin!" He used his good hand to wave a little, "I-I'm fine. Other than my head being a little sore and my arm is getting a little irritated,"
Of course, Rin thought. Len hates bandages, "Well, I'm glad to see that you're comfortable at least," She always did enjoy teasing her brother for it always brought a smile to her lips, no matter what mood she was in.
Blushing ten shades of red, Len stuttered, "Sh-shut up! I just woke up and he was like this!" He pouted, his bottom lip protruding a little, turning his head. But Rin suddenly burst into spontaneous laughter and he turned to her, now smiling little, "What?"
Rin tried to control her breathing and said between breaths, "It looks like you're his mother or something," While wiping away a few tears that had formed.
Len let out his laugh too, though his was much quieter than Rin's, and much less spazzy, "I guess so,"
At this time, the person they were laughing about's eyes flew open and he flew up, nearly hitting Len in the head on the way up, "Wha…? What happened…?" He slurred, rubbing his eyes and his head.
Rin held her hand over her mouth to stifle her laughter but she was just sitting there, rocking like a total idiot that had too much sugar.
Len had to mimic his sister as he was about to break out into a laughing fit as well. He only managed to get out: "N-nothing's w-wrong K-K-Kaito-n-nii," between gasps.
Kaito eyes them closely, "You two are acting suspicious. Did you put something on my face again? What is it? Oh come on you guys! You're too old for that!" The two just laughed even louder, Rin now sitting there, clapping like a retarted seal. Kaito frowned. Why are they acting so weird? He thought.
Right then, Miku walked in, her hair wet from just getting out of the shower, "Uh… w-what are you guys doing?" She asked nervously, confused as to what's happening.
"O-oh, it's M-Miku. N-nothing's happening. W-why d-do you a-ask?" Rin choked out, still holding her sides in laughter. They were starting to hurt.
"Right…" Miku sat down next to Len, careful to sit far enough that he wouldn't hit her with his random muscle spasms, "Uh, Kaito? What's going on?" Kaito just shrugged.
"I have honestly no idea. I woke up and Rin was spazzing out, then Len began to as well. Hey, um, is… is there something on my face?" He asked, still suspicious of them and Miku just smiled.
"There's nothing there, don't worry. But I think I know why they're laughing," Miku hid a smirk as Kaito's eyes widened, "It's because you were slee – mmf!"
Len had put his hand over Miku's mouth, shutting her up. He let her go and put a shaky finger to his lips, signalling for her to be quiet. She tilted her head, obviously confused. He just gave her a wink and she understood.
"You know what? I forgot. Oops! I'm hungry," She said, standing up, "You guys want something?" She turned back as she stood in the doorway towards the kitchen. All three answered at once with: Ice-cream!" "Banana!" and "Orange!" Typical. Miku thought as she walked into the kitchen.
"W-well, t-that was fun," Len said, finally coming down from his high. Rin merely nodded in agreement, calming down too but still unable to form and words.
Kaito sighed and flopped back onto the couch, scratching his head in frustration, "You guys are so weird. What happened? Why won't you tell?" Kaito wined.
Len and Rin looked at each other, exchanging the same look, "We'll tell you," They said together, smirking, "For twenty bucks!" And with that, they burst into laughter again.
Kaito sighed deeply, even more frustrated than last time, "I will never understand twins," He grumbled, getting up, wanting to see what was taking Miku so god damn long with his ice-cream.
Rin calmed herself down a lot faster than last time and soon took Kaito's spot on the couch next to Len, "I glad that you're smiling Len," She said and reached her arms out, embracing Len in a comforting hug, "I don't like it when you're sad. It makes me sad," She squeezed him a little before letting go and giving him a small peck on the cheek.
Len hugged her back as soon as he felt her arm wrap around his neck and smiled, "I know Rin. When you're sad, I'm sad too. Being a twin is cool like that," He said when she let go, "Thanks. For making me laugh. I feel a lot better now,"
Rin smiled sweetly at him and jumped up, "Well that's good. I'm gonna see what's taking them so long. You just stay here," She skipped away, into the kitchen, popping her head into the door only seconds later, "I love you Len,"
He turned his body around so that he could see her, "Love you too," Rin beamed and bounced back into the kitchen.
He heard a faint giggle coming from the kitchen and Rin and Miku came in carrying a few bananas and oranges. Kaito walked in a few seconds later, his expression blank, carrying another container of ice-cream.
"What's up with you," Len poked Kaito a little when he sat down and he turned at face him.
"Did I fall asleep on your lap?" He asked, voice drained of all emotion. Len blushed darkly and turned away.
"W-well, no, not really. Y-you fell asleep on the couch. B-but you head kind of slid d-down the couch and landed on my lap. I couldn't wake you up. You just looked so tired so I just let you sleep. And I guess that I-I fell asleep too," He laughed nervously, trying to bring his face back to a normal temperature.
"But you too looked so adorable!" Miku and Rin yelled in unison, clasping their hands together and jumping up and down, "Totally like a couple in a yaoi!" Rin squealed, "Yeah! So cute!" Miku piped in.
Len and Kaito both turned a dark crimson, looking away from each other, trying to hide their faces, not wanting to look each other in the eye at the moment.
The two fangirls stopped jumping at the same time when Meiko came into the room, already quite drunk, "Heeeyyy guuuyys~!" She slurred out, plopping down in between the two blushing boys, "Heyy, do yooou two -hic- have ffeverss or somethin'?" She poked Len in the cheek, causing his to jump a little.
"I-I'm fine!" He stuttered, cringing at the strong smell of alcohol, "Why are you drunk so early Meiko-nee?"
"Huuuhhh? Ohhh, I jjussst -hic- w-wannnted tooo. Gooot a -hic- p-proobblemm puunk?" Meiko threatened him by holding up her bottle of sake, ready to smash it down if she wanted.
"No! No no no! It's fine! Be drunk all you want!" Len flinched away from Meiko, scooting along the couch until he reached the end.
Meiko was a scary drunk. A scary drunk indeed.
Here's chapter four! I got this done a lot faster than chapter three and I'm proud of myself! So, what did you guys think? I wanted to make this chapter a lot happier than the previous ones and I think I did. Oh, and, who got fooled by the title? Come on, I know you did. I'm a trickster, aren't I? Well, not really. I just wanted to see if it would work. So, expect a new chapter soon! Bye!
