Thirteen messages, unread, and not even one from Rin.
Just knowing that was enough. I tossed my new yellow mobile carelessly onto the sofa. I was too tired to care about the others. If it wasn't Miku, then it was Meiko. If it wasn't from the both of them, then it must be from the other girls.
I fell onto my soft single bed, not bothering to take off my jacket and scarf, or heck, even my bag, and closed my eyes.
Rin.
I missed her. The house felt empty without her. I bet that she was somewhere out there, laughing her ass off at Kaito and eating ice cream. Thinking about Kaito makes my blood boil. No, no Kaito. Only Rin.
Reluctantly, I picked up my phone and sat on the couch, thinking of something to write.
Hey, Rin. When are you coming back?
…She'd tease me for this. No way am I baiting her with this. Backspace.
Rin, do you want to go out later?
…Too random. Backspaceeeee. What about something more truthful?
Rin, it's boring without you around. Come backkk. D:
…No way am I begging! And it sounds like something Rin would write. Definitely not Len Kagamine.
Frustrated, I threw my phone somewhere to the other side of the bed, sank down on the couch and fell asleep.
"Len?"
I blinked; vision blurred, and reached out towards the blonde towards me. I pulled her onto the couch with me, and hugged her tightly.
"Rin, I want to tell you something…"
"Oh? What is so important?"
Suddenly, my vision cleared. It was Neru. She smiled seductively and licked her lips, towering above me, "What you are saying better be worth more than my mobile phone bills."
I gulped, and immediately pushed her off.
"Sorry, Neru! It's nothing much!"
I hopped and dashed out of my room, leaving a protesting Neru behind. However, just as I reached my front door, the bell rang. Strange. I never gave my address to anyone. Was it Rin? Slightly frustrated, I swung the door open, and was prepared to reprimand Rin. However, what I did not expect was Luka and Miku at my door, bickering, and Meiko, glaring at me with her normally friendly brown eyes.
"Len, what is the meaning of this? Were you three-timing us?"
I could feel my throat going dry at this very moment. Before I could say anything, I was captured from behind. It was Neru.
Oh shit.
"Len?" A soft voice spoke up questioningly, and I snapped from weariness and pent-up frustrations.
"Yes! Three-timing, four-timing or a million-timing! Whatever you call it! Just get out of my house for today and let me sleep!" I didn't want to deal with them today. I just wanted to sleep and see Rin later.
A petite figure pushed past the girls in the front door, and my anger immediately went to the back of my mind, replaced by horror.
"R-Rin?"
I didn't know whether her expression was that of anger, horror or disappointment. Perhaps it was all three.
"I can expla-"
She didn't seem to hear anything I said, and she ran away, likely frightened by this other side of me she had not seen.
I dropped to my knees. Further. The distance between her and myself is so much more greater now. Did I ever had a chance in the first place? I rubbed my eyes, and was surprised to find moisture on my fingers.
Tears. I was crying.
"You don't need her. You deserve better. You have us."
Arms slithered around me possessively, and husky voices surrounded me, but I didn't notice them. I didn't care about them. I didn't want sex. I wanted love.
I screamed.
"RIN!"
When I woke up, a little perspiration soaked the back of my shirt, probably due to the number of layers I wore.
I looked up at the clock. Seven. It was three hours since I came back. That nightmare took three hours to play itself out.
Thank goodness it was a nightmare. I shuddered at the thought of it becoming real, and I immediately took my phone.
Even if I could never get her, even if I am her brother and have absolutely no chance with her, I didn't want to hurt her.
I messaged a break-up message, and forwarded it to all my girlfriends and closed my phone. They were going to hate me for it on Monday, and I don't care.
Rin…
I closed my eyes, and fell into deep slumber again.
…Or at least I was going to, when a large object bombarded itself onto me on the tiny couch. I yelped, and the UFO giggled.
"Hey, I'm back!"
I sat up immediately, and grinned.
"Welcome back, Rin."
