Why must you play the villain till the end?
(Chapter 6: The Awakening Of The Sleeping Feeling's)
The bell rang signalling them that it was lunch. Student's didn't noticed this and continued reviewing for the coming exam. The black bag's under there eye's and there heavy eyelid's tempting them to close it was a sight to see. Except for the student's with outstanding grade's and performance who didn't have to bat an eyelash to easily perfect the test. He stretched his arm's, yawning. He just woke up from a good sleep. His friend's approached him. Even though his friend's looked like idiot's who'd fail the test even if they reviewed, they were smart. Explaining that they were on the same 1-A class. The class for smarty-pant's like them.
He stood up and gather his lunch before carelessly passing through the stressed-out student's. He still didn't get why they have to put so much effort on reviewing and not relax like him and his friend's who goofed around and still get to the top, beating all the brain-wrecked classmate's. Guess he'll never know when he's blessed with a surreal brain everyone wanted. They entered the almost empty cafeteria. It was a rare sight. A clean and quiet cafeteria. They owned it all except one student was slumped on one corner, sleeping. They all noticed the familiar blonde. They all stayed silent until Kaito pointed it out.
"I'm guessing that's Rin." He said
"Nice place to sleep." Mikuo said
"Well It is rather comfortable here when no one's around." Gakupo said
"We should wake her up." Piko said
"Yeah right. Captain Obvious." Mikuo rolled his eye's "Thank's for stating the obvious."
Piko glared at him and Kaito approached Rin, shaking her gently. Rin lazily opened her eye's and stretched her arm's. She turned to look at Kaito and smiled at him. I noticed a tint pink on Kaito's cheek's. Or is it just me? I didn't noticed a tinge of pain inside of me, changing my mood to a sour one. Kaito pointed at us and she waved at us. We all followed her and sat on the table. They chattered filling the quiet cafeteria with there voice's. I ate my lunch in silence. Irritated of nothing and Irritated more because I don't know the reason why I'm irritated. Rin looked at me worriedly and I scowled at her. Surprised by my sudden behaviour, I expected her to put on a offended face or insult me but she pulled on a poker face. I looked at her confusingly and she just looked away. I looked at her ridiculously, offended with the sudden act.
What I didn't know that instead of a scowl, I was pouting.
Not having an appetite. I looked at my half-eaten lunch and covered it. I stuffed it in my bag. I stood up and walked away. They all stared at me in confusion.
"Were are you going?" Piko asked
"None of your business." I said sharply
They all shut up and let me go away. I stopped my track's in the hallway. Where am I going really? I decided to go to the Music room. It was empty. Perfect. I put my lunch box down and walked toward's the instrument's. Guitar, Bass, Flute, Violin...Violin. I ignored the nostalgic yet painful feeling and headed in the grand piano that laid silently on the stage. The shining black instrument silently wait's for me. I would usually find it dirty but now it was oddly clean. Someone must've cleaned it. Yuuma wouldn't. He only care's for violin. Everyday, he would clean it vigorously, leaving no spot uncleaned. Irony really when Yuuma hate's cleaning. I guess that's what's passion do to you. Passion that I lost.
I touched the cold wood, letting my finger slide on the shimmering flat surface. I placed it in my face and examined it. It was clean. Cleaner than expected. I looked around to see if there is a person breathing except for him. Still empty. Loneliness washed over me. I opened the Fall Board and sat on the soft chair. I pushed key's randomly. Black, White, Black, White, Black... He pushes it until he can make a melody in it. In a minute of pushing, he smiled and started playing the beautiful melody that absent-mindly popped in his head. He played and played until the loneliness was gone. The bliss moment was cut when he remembered now that the tune he was playing, was his sister's favorite melody. A feeling of sadness came to him as he remembers the first time he played the piano to her.
Around 5 year's old is when Len Kagamine took interest on playing a Piano. He loved the beautiful melody it make and idolized the skilled people laying such a difficult yet wonderful instrument. He started to sneak out on classes and go to the Music Room himself so he could practice. Month's passed and his parent's got angry when he was reported due to his daily skipping of class. He lied to them but his twin knows better. One day, he sneaked out again, only to be followed by his younger twin. When he sat and placed his finger's on the keyboard, he decided to play 'Bluestone Alley', a popular song that he recently learned to play, to ease his aching heart. He was used to his parent's shouting at him but he never was used to the heavy feeling in his chest when they did that. He slowly played and smiled when the calm tone filled the lonely room. He abruptly stopped when he heard a squeak. He turned around and saw his sister laying flat on the floor, groaning.
"That damn spider..." She said
Even though she's only his age. She curse's a lot for a child. He looked at her worriedly and quickly go to her side. He extended his hand's to her and she accepted it. He gently pulled her up and she dusted her dress. He suddenly remembered what he'd been doing and looked at her nervously.
"How long have you been here." He asked
"The time you got here." She answered honestly since lying to him seems impossible since they has this twin radar
"You knew, didn't you?" He asked
She nodded. He sighed.
"Since when?"
"The first day you sneaked out. I've been sneaking out too and listening to you play." She said
He blushed. His first tries were a complete embarrassment and for her sister to saw it.
"It's beautiful really. I didn't know you liked Piano." She said, gazing at the lonely piano
"Is that so?" He asked
"Why would I be lying? Though your first tries are really ear-wrecking. I barely make it out alive and unharmed without an ear infection." She said
"Your exaggerating. It wasn't that bad." I said, feeling slightly offended
"Yeah. It wasn't bad." I smiled at her statement "It was the worst."
"Somehow I knew that coming." He said as his pride shatter into pieces
"I'm amazed how fast you can learn though." She continued "Why don' t you show it to Mom and Dad. I'm sure they'll be proud."
"Y-You mean it?" I said, hope in my voice
"Yeah! It was beautiful but not as beautiful as you!" She said
"Ew. I'm not beautiful. I'm cool and handsome." I said with pink cheek's
"Whatever." She rolled her eye's "But I love the one that your playing awhile ago. Can you play it again for me?"
"Sure. But try not to drool over my awesomeness." I said and she playfully punched me in the shoulder
We walked toward's the piano and I began playing for her. I enjoyed her smile as I played. I know that the beautiful melody was more beautiful now that she was here.
I didn't made my parent's proud of my skill's though. No matter how I tried. They will always consider me as a disgrace in the family. My finger's landed roughly on the key's that made a loud ugly noise when I hit it.
"Hey! Why'd you stop!" A loud high-pitched voice yelled
I looked around and saw Rin standing on the front. Where the hell did she came from? I didn't noticed her sneak in the room. Maybe I was just distracted.
"What are you doing here?" I asked coldly, shutting the Fall Board
"Is it bad to watch?" Rin asked
"No. I really wouldn't mind being stalked here by a flat-chested girl. Wait are you even a girl?" I asked sarcastically
"Hey! Of course I am. You're mocking the most beautiful goddess. Tsk Tsk." She said and shook her head in disapproval
I looked at her disgustingly and ignored her. I opened the Fall Board again and began pushing key's making weird sound's. I heard her shift on her place.
"H-hey, the song you played awhile ago. What's it called?" She asked
"Bluestone Alley." I said
"Weird. It seemed familiar though." She said
"Maybe just from the radio." I said
"No. You're playing was different." She said "Nevermind."
A long silence came to us and I silently pressed the key's as she looked up and sighed.
"Your playing..." She started
"What about that?" I asked, not really paying attention
"It's beautiful." She said "I love it."
A warm feeling surged to me and a small smile creeped in my face.
"From an awesome guy like me. Expect something like that." I said
"Boastful are we? You got one compliment and your ego already skyrocketed." She said and I just laughed
I stopped laughing and a silence once again dawned to us. But it was more comfortable. He didn't noticed that he was playfully pressing key's making a silly sound.
"If you wouldn't mind.." She said, breaking the awkward atmosphere again "Can you play it again one more time. Just me and you."
"Sure." I agreed
"Hey. Then I'll play it one more time." I requested
"I'd love to hear it again!" She beamed
I quietly laughed and began playing. My finger's dancing with the key's. Creating a calm Melody, that filled the room again. The room didn't feel lonely anymore as the two figure's smiled. Copying the same smile one had.
He never noticed that the Melody he was making was now was more beautiful as he played with her. The beautiful Melody rang once again in the Music Room. The similar scenario on the Music room.
They smiled peacefully as the Fruit of Forbidden Love slowly ripen's.
