I have not and will never come even close to owning Vocaloid. Now that's out of the way, hope you enjoy the story.
Len's P.O.V
After I told Rin that we were working together, she groaned in dismay. Probably complaining about how homework isn't useful at all and that it doesn't teach her anything.
"I don't want to do something so useless!" She whined childishly - although she would never admit to that. She's too prideful for that.
"It's compulsory; you have to do it..." I explained patiently. Again. Honestly, we've had this conversation so many times it's become more of a habit than anything else...
"Can't I just do it on the night before?!"
"No; I do want to get through this class, y'know."
"Yeah, well, do it yourself then!" I mentally face-palmed myself and looked at her with a dead-pan expression.
"..." She looked at me impatiently.
"What?!" I rolled my eyes at her slowness.
"... It's a group project" Rin furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"... So?" I mentally face-palmed again.
"That means you have to contribute as well"
"... Oh! I get it!" She then said, a grin lighting up her face. Then a frown worked it's way on her face "And no, I'm not dense!"
"I wasn't thinking that!"
"Yeah, not yet!" ... Okay, fair point...
"Oh, by the way, if you ignore me in favour of your music again today, I'm gonna destroy those headphones of yours" Rin said deceptively sweetly, all while crushing the pencil in her hand. I gulped and nodded frantically "Good choice..."
{([])([])([])([])([])}
"What do you think your ancestors were?" I shrugged my shoulders in answer, eating my peanut butter and banana sandwich. Rin then proceeded to give her answer to her own question, waving around the orange and apricot sandwich in her hand like some sort of baton "Personally, I think my ancestor was someone important... Like royalty!" I rolled my eyes at this.
"That's about as likely as us being twins"
"So very likely" I raised my eyebrow at her.
"There are probably more people who look like us out there in the world. Take into account them and the people who looked like us in the past and the people that will look like us in the future that aren't related to us and that decreases the chances of that by a significant amount" Rin rolled her eyes at my explanation.
"Geez, you're such a nerd!" I started to protest but she cut me off "Anyways, your parents are ambassadors for that Hatsune company or something, right?"
"Yeah..." I then raised an eyebrow "Where are you going at with this?"
"Well I was just thinking that we should start on your side of the family first. That way we'd have a good place to start!" She pouted at my unchanging face "C'mon! It's a good idea, don't'cha think?" At this point she pulled out the big guns. And by that I mean the puppy-dog look ...Dammit! She knows that I can't say no to that face! It would be like kicking an abandoned puppy! Dammit, stop taking advantage of my weak points Rin!
"...Fine" I reluctantly concurred. Rin's expression instantly turned into the type of joy that could be likened to a too-bright lightbulb.
"Thanks Len!" Her voice was equally bright... and did I sense a bit of relief in there? Why would she be relieved?
"You're welcome" I have to wonder though; why didn't she want to start with her family? You'd think she'd want to get it over and done with and not really care about whose family we start with first... is it because she doesn't want me to know about them? I mean, for all the time I've known her, she's never told me about her family; is she ashamed of them or something? Or maybe she has bad memories regarding them?
"Hello; earth to Len!... Hey! Are you ignoring me again?!" Rin's hand waved in front of my face. Oops; guess I zoned out again... At least I'm not listening to music this time! I like my headphones!
"Sorry, I was just thinking about some things" She looked at me, concerned.
"Are you alright?" I waved her worries off with a shake of my hand.
"I'm fine; don't worry about it. So what was it you wanted?" Rin brightened up again. I'm just lucky she's easily distracted...
"Oh yeah; I wanted to check with you if we were going to our usual homework meeting place or if we're actually going to your house. Because, y'know, the whole starting on your family tree" Huh. I hadn't actually thought about that. It's true that it would make the most logical sense to start meeting at my house for this project, but if she finds all my... I'm screwed if she finds those. Okay, come up with an excuse, come up with an excuse... got it!
"Ah, I must have forgot to mention; my house is getting a roof extention, so I'm not allowed to let people come over until it's finished" I watched with a morbid-like fascination as her expression turned from happy to depressed in the space of a second. It's almost like watching a train crash...
"Oh, okay..." the sadness in her voice was palpable. Man, now I feel guilty. She must've really wanted to come over... but I can't get found out!
"... I'll see if I can make an exception though..."
"Yes!" She said, punching the air in excitement.
"Hey, I don't know if I'll be able to- never mind... And also you like going to our homework place; they've got both our favourite ice creams"
"Yeah, but you only let me get mine after doing a certain amount of work when you just get your one from the beginning..."
"That's because I can do my homework without getting distracted and you can't"
