A/N: Hey... It's 1:30 in the morning... And school starts tomorrow... I'm a bad person. =_=
Disclaimer: I wish I did... :(
After I leave school late because of choir practice, I realize something. Yes, that I left at seven thirty and that I'm STARVING, but its something else… I feel like I'm missing something… Did I forget my phone at school? No, it's in my pocket… Am I hungry? Well DUH, but I don't think that's it… What is it then?
I notice a pair of two girls, I think their names were Momo and Uta, fighting across the street.
"Uta! Why did you slap me?"
"'Cause Ms. Peach here is very annoying today."
"Ugh, I am not annoying! Once we get to the ice cream parlor, I'll have to explain why I'm not as annoying as you! Trust me Defoko~ This will take a LOT of time."
Ice cream parlor… Explain… Time… OH SHIT. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TIME TO MEET LEN TOMORROW. Ehh… How will I be able to ask him? I don't have his number… We didn't have cell phones at the time! Ehh… WHAT AM I TO DO?
"Okay Momone, you're on!"
SLAP.
"Why did you slap me again?" And at that, the two run down the street.
What a weird pair… But anyway, I have my own problems. GAHHHHHH. HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH LEN IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTACT HIM? No… Gumi and Teto wouldn't have his number… I'm sure Meiko has his number… But I don't want to be a creeper and have Len ask me where I got his number… WHAT IN THE WORLD SHOULD I DO?
Wait… He still lives in the same house right?
Aw hell no.
"Len-kun! Can you help me color this picture?"
Yuki, my 9 year old cousin, was currently coloring a picture of a banana and orange, each fruit with a cheesy smile on its face. It was cute. Especially the banana. Yuki lived a few blocks away, so I end up babysitting her a lot. My parents weren't in the house right now, strangely enough. "What do you need help with?"
"I want Len-kun to color the banana for me!"
YES.
DING DONG.
NO.
"Yuki, I'll help you once I answer the door, okay?"
"Okay!" She gave me a teethy grin, almost as cheesy as the one on the orange. She is so adorable.
I answer the door to see a familiar blondie with a floppy white bow. "R-Rin?"
She was looking the other way, blushing. "H-Hey Len…"
Why did she come to my house? She remembered where I live? "U-Um… Come in… if you want to…"
Rin walked into my house awkwardly, slowly striding to the couch. How awkward can this get? I sit next to her, but not so close that it's awkward, but too bad now. Suddenly, Yuki runs in with a surprising comment.
"Len-kun! Is the person at the door gone? I want you to fin… YAY! It's Rin-chan!"
What? Yuki knows Rin? H-How… What… Huh? Wait… Rin did used to help me babysit Yuki with me… But Yuki was only six! What in the world… I look to my right, where Rin is seated, and see her expression is exactly the same as mine. Think a Hachune mouth.
"H-Hi Yuki… How's it going?"
"AMAZING! I missed you so much, Rin-chan!"
Scratching the back of my head, I chuckle a little. Come on, who can't laugh because your cousin has an amazing memory, just like myself? Nah I'm kidding. I have horrible memory. I always forget to leave my cell phone at home, and I never remember to get the mail once I get home. And… NO, I DID NOT FORGET ABOUT RIN.
Yuki jumped onto Rin's lap, and wouldn't stop talking to her non-stop. After a few minutes of continuous blabber from Yuki, a question that escapes my cousin's mouth confuses/shocks/terrifies me.
"Is Rin-chan Len-kun's girlfriend now?"
Her smile after she said that sentence was so adorable, but Rin and my reaction to that question was not. It felt like my mouth was dropped all the way to the floor, and Rin looked like her soul was seeping out of her body.
"No, no, no… We're not dating…" Rin says with exasperation and nervousness after her soul returned. When did Yuki learn about this? She's only nine! Her parents make sure she doesn't know about these things yet! They think she has a crush on her teacher right now! (1)
"Kaai Yuki… Where did you learn about this 'dating' thing?"
She was hiding her face with her bangs and she got all quiet. "Fffoomm…"
"What did you say Yuki?"
"From Mommy's…"
"What?"
"FROM MOMMY'S SHOWS!"
OH… Aunt's soap operas do leave you with very memorable stuff… Like to never trust a girl who tries to give you a drink forcefully, because you'll end up dying be the end of the episode. Also, do not to trust the police, because they never help. And I think everyone knows this, but never go into a white van…
I look over to the clock on the wall, which says eight thirty. Wow it's that late already? Shouldn't Aunt be here to pick Yuki up by now?
"O-Okay Yuki, It's eight thirty, so you have to go to sleep now, okay?"
Yuki's bright smile comes back, and happily says "Okay! Good night Len-kun and Rin-chan!" With this, she skips to her room.
So… yeah. Rin and I are sitting next to each other on the couch. She's staring at her feet, I'm staring at Yuki's unfinished banana and orange picture, and not one word comes out of our mouths. DAMN I HATE AWKWARDNESS.
'S-So… Why did you come to my house again?"
"S-So… Why did you come to my house again?"
OH GOSH. Seriously, Yuki already made it awkward for remembering me, AND asking if Len and I were dating… Ehhh… I don't know how to answer this!
"Um… I wanted to know what time to meet you at the ice cream parlor… You didn't tell me so…"
Okay, apparently I DO know how to answer this question… Len is just sitting there, thinking of SOMETHING. I don't know what he's thinking about, but I am impatient! I AM HUNGRY.
*Growl*
I look at where the sound has come from; my tummy. I haven't eaten anything since lunch! I see Len look up from his deep thought.
"Umm... Are you hungry?" He says this with a slight chuckle.
"Y-Yes..." I know I'm blushing... I just know it!
"Okay then, be right back."
Len dashes for the kitchen, his hand reaching the fruit bowl. He grabs a fruit and puts his behind his back. Walking towards me, he throws the fruit at me and says, "Catch."
I catch the item and open my hands to see a round fruit that I cannot wait to eat, yet I hesitate to start peeling it.
I look up a Len, who states, "You still like oranges, right?"
Hehe... He's good. "And I'm guessing you still like bananas?"
He let out a small laugh. "Duh."
Suddenly, we just start... laughing. So hard, that my stomach started to ache. I clutch my sides to ease the pain, but it doesn't work. I look at Len, laughing his butt of as much as I am. He already fell to his knees, grabbing himself in the same manner as me. By the end of our laughing session, a few tears have come out of my eyes.
Then, after our hard and LOUD laughter, I remember something. "Len?"
"Yeah?"
"Yuki's sleeping."
"Crap."
We almost start laughing again, but I try to resist the urge by saying, "Let's check up on her."
"Okay." His smile was so radiant, it seemed like nothing in the world could make it go away. It was a good feeling.
We slowly tiptoe to the guest bedroom, where Yuki was currently sleeping. I seemed to magically remembered each nook and cranny of this house, for I was leading Len in this "check in" with Yuki. We peek in the room, seeing Yuki is fast asleep. "Good," Len whispers.
As we're walking back down the steps, the doorbell rings, resulting in Len rushing for the door. I sit back on the couch, finally devouring my orange. And man does it taste good. Mmm.
The person at the door was apparently Yuki's mom, arriving to pick her up. Seeing Yuki fast asleep in her mother's arms looked so adorable, so peaceful... And after she left it was my turn to walk out the door.
"L-Len, sorry that I came here all of a sudden…" A breeze comes through the open door and I shiver.
Len gives me a questionable look. "Hey, you cold?"
"Yeah…" I only came here in my school uniform, so I'm not in very warm clothing…
Suddenly, I see him take off his… very WARM looking… *cough**cough*… jacket. He extends his arm to me, his jacket drooping at his fingers. "Here."
I look into his eyes, the most sincere I've seen them in a while. I smile back, hoping they're at the same level of sincerity as Len.
"Thank you… See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah… Hehe… See ya…"
I start to head out the door, his jacket on me (Ahhh… It's so warm…), when an, "Oh, wait!" escapes his mouth. I turn in confusion. "Huh?"
"I almost forgot to tell you what time we're gonna eat ice cream…" OH YEAH… My whole reason of being at Len's house right now would totally be useless if I didn't know THAT information…
"Oh yeah… hehe…" I'm so awkward. I would facedesk right now if I could.
"So… Rin… how about at one?"
I smile. "Sure."
We exchange numbers before I officially leave so this situation won't happen again… and I head home. Quietly sneaking in, to make sure I don't wake my parents, I tiptoe to the kitchen to heat up something to eat. Oh~ I love fried chicken…
Operation Chicken is successful, so I stealthily sneak into my bedroom, jumping into bed with all of my clothes on. Yes… weekend tomorrow… Ahhh… I can't wait for tomorrow.
I sniff Len's jacket. Old Spice. Heh. Fits him.
A/N: I hate homework. FREAKING HISTORY TEST TOMORROW AND PICKLE REHERSAL. GAH. Eh. Actually... its more of later... GAH. I'm scared of being caught by my dad right now... D:
(1) Yeah... Kiyoteru~ ^^
Of course I had Len use Old Spice~ Apparently, I like it (According to my friend)... Plus, Spice. Come on.
Suki da yo, minna-san~
Review please! :3
