Hey, everyone! I'm sad to say this, but this is going to be my last update for any story for at least a month. Boo. My reason: I'm going on vacation, then to camp for a week. My updates will also be a lot less frequent, because I have three weeks to last minute cram summer homework/practicing viola/getting ready for cross country try outs. And, after that, I start high school. Joy. Anyways, my life is about to get a lot busier, so... yeah...
Since I don't want to leave you on a cliffhanger (but should, since I can get more reviews *Laughs evilly*), this is a fluff chapter. Have fun (I figure you guys deserve it after all the Sonika shit)
Disclaimer: NO!
Oh, and happy Fourth of July to everyone, even though it's 12:11AM, meaning it's the 5th. Little late, but whatever.
"ITADAKIMASU!" Len yelled while leaning down over me.
"Len, get off of me!" I said, trying to shove him off.
"What? Why? Don't you love me, Rin?" Len asked, a pretend pout on his face.
"I like you, okay? Just not enough to give my virginity away to you."
"I like you, too!" Len said, completely ignoring the second part of what I said. Fine. Desperate times call for dirty tricks.
So, I kneed him straight in the balls.
"DAMN IT, RIN! THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR BOYFRIEND!"
"POTENTIAL RAPE ISN'T THE WAY TO TREAT A GIRL!"
"You're a girl?"
"Len, YOU CANNOT SAY THAT, UNLESS YOU WISH TO SATISFY YOUR FANGIRLS BY CONFIRMING YOU ARE GAY, THEREFORE MAKING ALL THEIR YAOI DREAMS COME TRUE! WHAT KIND OF RINXLEN FANFICTION WOULD THIS BE THEN?!"
"Nah, fuck. Now I have to think of something new," Len complained before going back to massaging his balls. Wait, wouldn't that be fapping?
Urg.
This whole scenario started when I came inside from waving Luka and Gakupo away (they just left), only to have Len pin me down onto my bed, saying something about how we are finally alone. The rest is history.
"So, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" I asked Len, peering at him. He looked at me, and then shrugged.
"Well, it's six, so lets have dinner, watch some anime, and turn in." I couldn't help but to feel oddly disappointed yet relieved. We aren't doing anything, but we aren't doing anything. If that makes any sense. ARG! Basically, random person I'm talking to, I'm nervous, but I want to do something. Make sense?
I swear, I'm going insane.
Please forgive me, dear readers.
"WAKE UP, RINNY!" Len screamed into my ear, effectively making me scream, and wanting to punch him in the face.
"What?" I complained.
"We have to get up," Len said.
"What time is it?" I asked, looking out of my window. It was still dark.
"Five fourty-five in the morning," Len said cheerfully. I groaned and pulled the covers over my head. "Oh, no you don't. I have the day planned, but we need to get up now."
"Listen, Len. The way to a woman's heart, and her virginity, is to let her sleep," I said. I say weird things and random excuses when I'm desperate for sleep. It's a Kagamine family thing.
Len hesitated for a moment before leaning in and running his hands through my hair. "Sorry, Rinny, but you need to get up now. Please."
Damn. He used the P-word (Not penis. Please. Get them right.
"Fine," I said with a groan. "If it's so important."
"It is. Get ready. I have everything packed." Packed? Are we going somewhere? "Yes, we're going somewhere. It'll take a little bit of time, but we're going." How did he know what I was thinking?
Anyways, fifteen minutes later, a very cranky Rin (aka me) and a very understanding Len (aka, um, him) stalked out of the house. It was still dark outside, sadly. Len offered me his hand, and I slipped it into his, liking the feel holding hands. I never really understood why people found it to be such a big deal, even when dating Piko, until now. There's just something so physical about it, as weird as that sounds.
"Neh, my mother would be impressed. You got me out of bead, early in the morning, without having to throw water all over my face," I said, trying to start a conversation.
"She's down that?"
"She's threatened to," I replied. "She's also sat and fart on me, and poured some undesirable substances down my throat to wake me up."
"Sounds terrible."
"I would know," I joked, smiling at him. We walked on the path, careful to avoid stepping on bugs, even though there weren't that many, thank god. There was a first- no, third quarter moon out in the sky, looking oddly close to the earth. I guess it was near the time for dawn to break.
"Ah, maybe I'm just special enough to wake you up without threatening you."
"Maybe," I replied, neither confirming nor denying it. "Where are we going?" I asked. He had a picnic basket in the hand that wasn't holding mine, and a draw string on his back, filled with unknown contents. "Want me to carry something?"
"I'm good. Anyways, we're going to a special place. I found it while looking for you the day you stormed out of our house when Sonika was here." He made a face when he said her name, but I could still tell that Len was hurt. He confined in me that he didn't have many friends who were close to him- not the way Luka and Gakupo are to me- and was really disappointed when his childhood friend turned out to be a Yandere. Somethings just don't work out, I guess.
I squeezed his hand gently, but offered no words about her. There was no point bringing Sonika up; it would just ruin the mood.
"How's your head?" Len asked. "Tell me if it starts hurting, or something."
"Will do," I replied. "But, for now, everything's good. It has been for a couple of days."
"Just making sure. I don't want you dying on me, during our first date," Len said.
"This is a date?"
"Is it not?"
"Um, no?"
"Wait, so it or it isn't?"
"Um, is?"
"Okay."
"Okay."
Why do we always end up going back to 'okay'ing each other?
We walked in silence a little longer. It wasn't awkward. It was nice, walking like this early in the morning. I've never understood why people would want to get up before the sun rises, and go for walks, but now I understand. I felt truly awake, like I never have before. My mind was clear, my senses alert. It's wonderful, really.
"We're almost there," Len said. "A little longer."
Ten to fifteen minutes later, Len stopped me, told told me to hold the basket. He then proceeded to putting his hands so that they covered my eyes, and told me to wait a little. I did as he said, more than ready to be surprised.
"Three... Two... One," Len said, before removing them.
I gasped.
Over the horizon, the sun becoming coming out, illuminating the sky in a different hue of colors. A mix of purple, pink, orange, yellow, and so on. The clouds were a pink color (well, not actually), lighting up the sky. We stood on a small cliff overlooking a large lake, where the different colors were reflected off of. The mountains seemed to guard the lake, and trees surrounded the sides of it.
It was perfect.
"Oh my gosh, Len," I said, holding my hands up to my mouth. "This is absolutely amazing."
"I didn't know how amazing it would be," Len confessed. "The timing was luck, too. But, I'm glad."
"Thank you so much," I whispered. Len took a blanket out of the basket and set it on the floor. After setting the picnic basket aside and offering me his hand, he gently pulled me to sit down in front of him. His arms wrapped themselves around me, encasing me, and he rested his head on my shoulder. Neither of us spoke; we just watched instead.
When the sunrise was sadly over, I looked at Len, and kissed him gently. "Thank you," I said again. "This was so sweet."
"Of course it is. I planned it," Len said in a cocky voice, but he smiled gently at me, squeezing my hands tenderly. I smiled at him before looking at him. The sun was out and shinning, the air fresh, the clouds practically nonexistent. It was just too perfect.
"Is this a stimulation that you are controlling, or something? It's so perfect?" Len laughed and shook his head.
He began pulling some things out of the basket. "I have breakfast and lunch in here. Simple stuff. Dinner... well, wait."
"You cooked for today?" He nodded his head shyly.
"I hope you like everything. I cooked it all to your tastes." I smiled for giving him a big kiss.
"Okay, I'm in love with you," I said.
"Really?"
"Almost." He laughed, and then took out some plates.
"I made crepes. I found a recipe online, and it looked manageable, so I took a shot. Um, here," he said, handing me one. It was wrapped in foil, so it was still hot. It smelt delicious. "I also brought powdered sugar, raspberries, strawberries, and Nutella to put on top," Len said while taking them out of the basket and passing them one-by-one to me. I took it, put what I wanted, and took a bite. "Is it good?" Len asked anxiously.
"IT'S AMAZING!" I said while giving him a big smile.
"You have Nutella on your teeth," Len said. "I can help you clean it up," he said while raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, stop, and let me eat."
"If you say so."
We ate, laughing and bantering over random things. I stretched happily, content with how things are going. I broke out into a random song in one point- Tori no Uta- laughing as I went. Len joined in, not really knowing the lyrics, but trying to pass it off to make it work.
"You have some Nutella on your cheek," Len said, and leaned it to lick it off my cheek before I could respond. I turned a deep red, but managed to pass it off with a laugh. "Wow. You're red," Len said with a sly smile.
"What can I say? I'm surprisingly innocent," I replied, chuckling as I went.
"URG!" Len screamed before tackling me with a hug.
"L-Len?" I stammered out.
"YOU'RE TOO DAMN CUTE!" Len shouted, holding me even tighter. I laughed, a little red, and pushed him off gently.
"Why, thank you for the compliment, kind sir," I said while mock bowing.
"It's shan't a compliment, just a fact, my kind lady," he said in a failure of a British accent. We both burst out laughing.
I found myself, some time later, laying on the blanket, him using my stomach as a pillow. I stroked his hair as Len feed both of us raspberries. We talked about trivial things; we talked about things we cared about.
"So, what was your dream when you were little?" I asked Len.
"It's rather obvious, right? I'm doing it right now," Len replied while popping a raspberry into his mouth.
"I suppose. Acting was always your number one," I said while taking a deep sip of water.
"I was actually talking about dating a beautiful girl, but I suppose that works, too." I blushed. "I'm lucky," he said after some time after we sat in silence. He rolled himself off of my stomach, and then looked at me, staring me in the eye. "I feel blessed to have such a good mother. Yeah, she's crazy, with a son complex, but I'm thankful. Without out her, I would have never had gotten into the industry, nor would I have meet you."
"Len... is there something up with your father and yourself?" I always wondered about that. Ever since he said that he only needed to visit his house for a day, to see his mother.
"Hm... yeah. I guess I should tell you, since you are my girlfriend, and all," Len said while scratching his head.
"You don't have to," I said quickly. Even though I am beyond curious, there is no point in pushing him.
Len, however, just shook his head. "No, I want to. Anyways, it's nothing big. It's not, like, he abuses me, or anything. He just finds that what I'm doing isn't worth while, and I should be studying business so that I can take over business one day."
"What?" I shrieked. "That's terrible!" I cleared my throat when I realized that I was talking about his father, and should still have some respect. "Um... what I meant by that is that he shouldn't try to squish your dream like that," I covered quickly.
"It's okay," Len said, understanding as ever. "I'm used to it. Any form of self happiness or entertainment was banned from me for such a long time. Sonika was only a friend because my father and her father were friend's, and were probably hoping for a future marriage between us (A/N: *HINT HINT, NUDGE NUDGE* maybe). I, of course, would never do that, but he's allowed to believe whatever the shit he wants," Len said, saying the last words with malice I wasn't expecting.
I took his hand, not really sure what to say, and smiled gently at him. He hesitated, but smiled back. This matter was far from over, but what can a person do?
"What time is it?" I asked Len some time later.
"Um, around nine. We should get started," Len said.
"Started?" I asked. In response, he took the drawstring, and took out some clothing. A bikini (go figure. Hormones strike once again!) and a pair of swim trunks. "Swimming?"
"Yeah. You can change behind those bushes. I promise that I won't look, okay?" Len said. I nodded my head, believing him, and quickly changed, worried that someone else would see me changing, somehow. I doubt that anyone else would be around- this is a private area, after all- but rather be safe than sorry.
"You done?" I called out.
"Yes," Len replied. I came from out of the bushes, only to see—
A hot, shirtless Len.
We both stared at each other for a couple of seconds—me too interested in looking at him shirtless then noticing him checking me out. "Wow. Talk about eye candy," we both said at the same time. I laughed while Len ruffled my hair affectionately.
Len offered me his hand, which I took, looking at him curiously. "It might be slippery on the way down," he explained at my confused look.
"Wait a minute," I said, taking my hand from him. "Why are we walking down when this sign—" I gestured to the one that was right next to our blanket "—says that this is an okay distance to jump from?" I asked.
"I figured that you might be scared. Anyways, it could be dangerous."
"Len Kagamine!" I said in shock. "I am not a damsel in distress, and therefore I will be jumping down from here," I said.
"Really?"
"I bet you won't."
"Take that back."
"You're probably scared," I challenged while crossing my arms and glaring at him. Even when we're dating, we're still competitive.
"I'm not, and I will jump." I rolled my eyes, but nodded my head in acceptance.
"Well, I'm jumping," I said. I walked over to the small edge of the cliff and looked down. We were high up, high enough to were the impact could make us break a bone if we didn't land correctly.
I smiled to myself.
"Wait," Len said as I backed up from the cliff.
"Scared?" I asked.
"No," he shot back. He extended his hand for me to take. "Together?" I smiled yes, and took it, although we both knew that we would let go in mid air. We both backed up, took a deep breath, looked at each other, and began sprinting.
We reached the edge of the cliff, where I pushed myself off of, launching myself farther into the air.
I took down.
It was amazing. I was flying, yet falling at the same time.
I carefully guided myself so that I wouldn't land on top of Len (who looked terrified and thrilled all at the same time), and then let out a whoop, even doing some flips in the air. As we approached the water, I got into the proper diving position, to make sure I didn't break anything. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Len do the same.
The water took me into it's embrace—first cold, then warming up—and I shot upwards, towards the sky. It was so deep that I couldn't even see the bottom—which was kind of intimidating, actually. I finally broke the surface, and with a gasp, I looked around for Len, who I couldn't see.
An arm wrapped itself around my waist, and then pulled me close to a warm body. I let out a little gasp, only to see Len on my side, carrying me in the water. "Holy shit," he said.
"Holy shit indeed. We must do that again."
"Agreed. But, not now," Len said. "Let's just swim." I shrugged, but smiled. The lake was absolutely beautiful, the water twinkling from the sun shining on it. The water, which was cold at first, was now warm and comfortable.
"We left all of our things up there," I said. "Including our shoes. We're going to have to walk up a rocky terrain barefoot."
"Okay, so maybe we didn't plan this that well," Len admitted. "Who cares? Let's just swim." I let out a little laugh before splashing some water, causing us to engage in a water fight, which Len let me purposely win.
His response was grabbing me, once again, and then throwing me back into the warm folds of the water. My response was not resurfacing—instead, I swam a little deeper (ignoring the fact that I couldn't see the bottom; that really freaked me out), looking around the clear water before finding what I wanted. I swam towards Len, who I could tell was looking for me, and then grabbed his leg and gave it a little tug. As I burst out of the water, Len screamed, yelling something about how he didn't want to die so young.
I burst out laughing at his lame response. "You're such a man," I said.
"Ha-ha," Len said sarcastically. "I was really worried about you, you know, Rin?" Len asked.
"Sorry," I said, feeling a little guilty. "I didn't mean to scare you."
Len just gave me an affectionate kiss. "It's cool, don't worry. Just don't do something like that again." I nodded my head.
"Okay," I said, more than willing to agree. "Want to jump again?"
The morning quickly turned into noon, when Len forced me out of the water so that we could eat. He had packed towels, as well as extra clothing, although I wasn't quite ready to change just yet. Maybe we could swim after lunch, or something.
For lunch he had packed a pasta, surprisingly. I didn't know that Len knew how to cook that, but it was delicious, nonetheless. "Good food," I said, my mouth fool.
"That's my girl," Len said in amusement. "No manners at all."
"Oh, shut up," I said while swallowing, but being a little more conscious. It was weird: in Shojo mangas, all the (lame) heroines were always tense for going on dates with their boyfriends, wearing extravagant clothing and worrying over stupid things. I, however, am perfectly relaxed with Len.
"Okay," Len said. "No going back into the water for another hour, okay? I don't want you getting a cramp on me."
"Fine," I said, pouting. I really like swimming with Len, as it turns out.
"Oh, come on. It's not that bad," he said. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips, quick and soft. I smiled, and Len put his head into my lap so that we could do our usual Me-Stroking-His-Hair-And-Relaxing-And-Stuff routine.
I began singing the opening to the anime, Air, the song being "Tori No Uta." (A/N: Actually, the Miku Append version in the best in my opinion, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the RinxLen duet, too. Look them both up!) I showed Len the song some time ago, although we never got to the point of watching the anime.
The first part of the song, I sung by myself, just singing into the distance. After the chorus, however, Len took over, squeezing my hand before starting. I stopped signing, allowing his voice to surround me completely. After he finished the chorus, we both traded off the next lines back and forth before we hit the chorus and finally sung together. It was beautiful.
"We're pretty badass, aren't we?" Len asked me after we finished. I laughed, knowing that what he was saying is true.
"Of course we are. We're Rin and Len Kagamine. That's what happens when you have the last name Kagamine," I said.
"Of course. At least, when we get married, you don't have to change your last name," Len said. I laughed, knowing that Len was only kidding about marriage (at least for now).
"We're still a long way off from there," I replied back.
"Could you see it happening?" Len asked after a few moments of silence, his voice sobered up once again. I looked at for a moment, before shrugging.
"Honestly, I can see a whole bunch of tiny Rin's and Len's running around and screaming and fighting all over the place," I admitted. "But, it's still way, way,way too early." Len nodded, satisfied with my answer.
An hour later, we got back into the water, but just a quick dip. After another hour of swimming, we came home.
"You are absolutely forbidden from coming downstairs," Len said. "Not until I say that you can, okay? Oh, and wear something nice."
"We going somewhere?" I asked Len. He just shrugged and exited the room. I sighed, slipped out of my clothes and into the shower.
My god, the best thing in the world is showering after swimming all day.
I stayed in there, for like, ten hours (slight exaggeration) and the finally got out, stretching as I went. I decided just to wear a simple black dress, nothing too fancy since I have no idea what's on Len's mind. I spent the next the next thirty minutes catching up on all my manga updates online.
Len came up, wearing a nice looking suit (damn, he's hot), and gave me his arm. I linked mine around it, and then followed him down the stairs.
There in the kitchen he had set up a little candle light dinner for the two of us.
I looked at him, shocked, and then said, "Yup, children are a possibility, now."
That last part was a joke, okay? I know, their young. They're not actually considering marriage.
Anyways, last update for a month! I hope you liked this chapter and it's mindless whatever this was.
MAJOR QUESTION: What is Miki's character color? I thought it would be red, but that's apparently Meiko's, unless Meiko's was really supposed to be brown. Please explain someone! I'm kind of lost (ish).
Review for your dear authoress who stayed up till 3:09 writing this chapter for her beloved readers?
