20th chapter! Can't believe this. And, as much as it hurts to say this, I think I'm going to start trying to kind of begin ending this fanfiction.
Special uber-thanks to one of my new betas, MizuneMinamiki, who is beautiful and awesome, and you should go and check out her fanfictions if you haven't already.
Disclaimer: -.-"
Oh, and an IMPORTANT note about this chapter: It's pretty self explanatory, but all the paragraphs in italics are memories of previous things that have occurred in this fanfiction. You'll see.
"Hello, Rin Kagamine speaking. Who's calling, please?" I ask after I pick up the phone, taking a deep breath. Len, who's sitting right next to me, smirks a little before rising.
"Ah, Rin. It's Kiyoteru."
"Oh, KiyoTeRU," I say, my voice coming out funny because Len had just wrapped his arms around my waist. I glare at Len, but the look on his face tells me he isn't going to stop anytime soon.
Fine. I'll win this.
"Are you okay Rin?" Kiyo asks, sounding somewhat concerned.
"Ahhh- yES," I say as Len moves onto my ear, nibbling it. "JuST trYinG an e-ExerCIse." There's almost a soft wind in my ear now… shit, he's blowing into it. I groan softly under my breath.
"What exercise?"
His hand slips to the edge of my shirt- intentional or not, I have no idea.
"WeLL, it's called-" I turn to Len, my favorite 'Devil's Smile' on my face. Luka taught it to me, and I perfected it. "-PUNCHING STUPID, PERVERTED, SHOTAS!" And with that, I scream, "FALCON - PUNCH!" and got Len squarely in the jaw.
"W-What-?"
"Anyways, what can I do for you, Kiyo-kun?" I ask sweetly into the phone, ignoring the groans of pains coming from the floor. Heh. Maybe I killed him.
"I assumed you would know, Rin."
"Know what?"
"The fact that you only have one more day left in the mountains."
.
.
.
.
.
What…
...Right, we only had two months up on the mountaintops.
Has it been two months already? Why did time go by so quickly?
A series of memories go through my head…
.
.
.
These little moments we shared...
"Really?" Len asked as he made himself comfortable, aka giving me a panic attack by resting his head onto my lap. "Tired," he said. "I made dinner, so let me sit here."
.
.
.
...the people we met here…
"ANYWAYS, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO HEAR YOU PLAY PIANO OR SING ONCE AGAIN!"
"OH! Aw, really?" I asked, temporarily forgetting about the the crazy killer right in front of us. I turned to face Len, a small grin on my face.
"Y-Yes," Len said shyly.
"Well, your voice isn't that bad," I said, smiling softly.
"EHEM!" the butcher-lady said.
"OH! Sorry, lady! You can go BACK TO KILLING US!" I screamed.
"Well, now there's no point," the lady said, lowering her knife. "You're no longer scared, so what's the fun in that?"
"Pardon?"
Suddenly Neru, Dell, and Akaito were right next to us. "It was fun until you guys started going all mushy on us," Akaito said with a frown. He went over to the crazy-killer lady and wrapped his arm around her.
.
.
.
...Our fights and such…
He did so. I opened the basket, and then took out a sandwich. "Say 'Ahh,' Master," I said, my smile cold. Before Len could do so, I shoved the sandwich into his mouth, causing him to bite off too much. "Oh, are you okay, Master?" I asked as Len began choking.
.
.
.
…It's all going to come to an end, isn't it?
"Rin? Rin, are you still there? Can you hear me?" I suddenly realize that I'm in a daze, my eyes wide as I stare straight ahead at nothing.
"Ah, yes, sorry Kiyo. It seems like I forgot that we had a time limit. I'll pass the news onto Len. Bye." I quickly slam the phone down before staring at it for a second and then turning it to Len.
"Why the hell did you punch me like that? It hurt, you know. 'Falcon Punch'? Where is that even from? Is there-" Len cuts himself off, probably a little surprised, when I suddenly sink to my knees and wrap my arms around him. "Hey, what happened?" he asks as I bury my head into his neck and take a deep sniff. He wraps his arms around me and holds me close, gentle, as if afraid to break me despite that fact that I punched the crap out of him only a couple of moments ago.
"It's our last day here," I tell him quietly.
I can hear the catch in his breath before he slowly pulls his head back and stares at me. Slowly, he gives me a smile. "Well, let's make it count."
He leads me through the forest, never letting go of my hand. I stare at the back of his head, watching the little ponytail bob up and down continuously.
"What's wrong?" Len asks me, turning his head so that he can stare at me.
"Nothing. I was just thinking," I reply a little slowly.
"About what? Don't tell me it's about another guy. Well, you can think about me, Gakupo or Teiru… Teiru, I miss him, Rinny. But anyways, no other guys. Or, I mean… no, I don't want you thinking about them either. ME! THINK OF ME AND ME ALONE!" I narrow my eyes and stare at him, as he steadily turns a deeper shade of red. Finally, he looks a little to the side and mumbles, "Well, I'm always thinking about you, so I was hoping it's the same."
I stare.
"W-What?!" Len says defensively. "It's not like I'm a pervert… well, I mean, I have had those kinds of thoughts, but I still don't always think about that, so that's something!"
"It's the same," I say with a smile before I continue walking. He quickly joins me, a small smile on his face. "Anyways, I was thinking about you. I was trying to decide the moment when I fell for you. It must have been pretty early, but I never did acknowledge my feelings."
"Why do you say that?"
"My dreams. The ones you read about in my diary," I say with a little glare. And what dreams they were. "I don't get them anymore, though."
"I suppose you're upset about that," Len says, chuckling a little.
"I'm not upset. It's probably because my reality is so amazing that they stopped. I'm too happy."
"Rin…"
"But I really love to dance with Howl again. He's so hot."
"RIN!"
We sit together at the little cliff like edge that hangs above the lake Len and I went swimming in some time again. His head in my lap in our classic fashion, and I smile a little before drifting off, more memories resurfacing.
"Len, I'm joking," I say finally, and he nods his head. "As if you would ever fall for me," I say with a small chuckle.
"Yeah... ha-ha..." Weird response; I expected him to explode in argument.
I laugh a little harder, although it feels almost... forced. "And I would never, ever fall in love with you."
"...Right."
Hm. I was probably desperately rejecting my feelings at that time. And I call Luka a Tsundere. Shame, Rin. Shame.
"What are you thinking about now?" Len asks, eyes fluttering open. Hm. I thought he was asleep.
"My Tsundere ways." Len groans.
"Those were a pain in the ass. Glad you're a little bit more open now."
"When did you first start liking me?" I ask, wondering if it was around the same time as me.
"I'm not sure. It must have been subconscious, but, like you, I was too stubborn to admit it. The first time I consciously acknowledged it, however, was when we had that singing contest against Miku. You were singing your song, 'Meltdown,' and all I could think about in that moment was about how beautiful you looked, how pretty your voice is, how you mesmerized me in ways I didn't think were possible." He lifts his arm up and plays with a strand of my hair.
I blush slightly. "What, did you stay up all night thinking about cheesy lines like that?" I say it with a smile, though, so Len knows I'm joking.
"Only for you, babe," he says with a suggestive wink.
"You know, I really did hate you for all those months we worked together," I say.
"Um… thanks?" Len says, looking slightly hurt.
"Seriously, I thought you were the biggest asshole on Planet Earth. You were always up in my face, and we were always arguing for no reasons whatsoever. Why did you hate me then?" I ask. "If I recall correctly, you started the first fights when I tried to be pleasant to you."
"You're right," Len says. He sighs as he sits up. "I was jealous. You got more jobs than me, and you seemed so much happier. I figured that you only got jobs because of your good looks, or perhaps connections, as Teto is well known, but no. It was pure talent. And, I felt like I wasn't good enough. My acting skills weren't up to your level."
"Oh, is that so?" I ask, mildly amused.
"Hey, that's the part where you reassure me that it's all good, that I'm an amazing actor, and incredibly sexy and so on," Len replies with a pout, looking like a little kid.
"If you already know, then why do I have to tell you?"
"Because you're my GIRLFRIEND and I like to be PRAISED for my SEXINESS!"
"Why did you-?" I begin asking, referring to the random words that he screamed out.
"I don't know. Moment of passion."
"Well, I you are all of those things, plus so much more." I sigh, and there is a short pause. "I also thought you were an asshole when Sonika came. I mean, moments before we were kissing, and then suddenly your hands were all over another woman."
"I'm sorry," Len says. He takes my hand and gently kisses it. "Urg, being the 'Prince-Type' is annoying. Let's do this." He licks my hand and then bites it, not to gentle.
"Len, you-" But he moves to my neck and suddenly I can't feel anything else as waves of pleasure flow through my body.
It's too much.
Without a second thought, I push Len away.
Down the cliff.
And into the water.
.
.
.
Oops.
"I'm sorry, Len!" I wail as we walk into the house, Len shaking and rubbing his arms as quick as he can. He gives me a little glare before walking into the house. I can tell he's not mad, though- he just wants attention.
"That was so hurtful to my feelings," he says in a snobbish accent. I roll my eyes. "Like, seriously?"
He suddenly pulls his shirt off.
"Hm… uh, hnn… Magmmm…" I say incoherently as I stare at his beautiful chest. Oh, it's so sexy, words can't even describe. And with his hair dripping wet….
"Aren't I beautiful?" Len asks, running his hand through his hair. Or, attempting to, since his hair is wet.
I can't respond. I'm staring much.
Len extends his arms and backs me up against the wall. A predatory look rests in his eyes and his mouth is curled back into a sarcastic smirk. Without a word, he leans in and kisses me, long and hard. "You enjoying yourself, Rinny?" he asks, pulling back. I can't stop staring into his eyes, no matter how hard I try. They're so beautiful.
Hm. However, the more competitive side of me can't help but to register that he wants me to be almost scared and act like a little whimpering sheep, or something.
And that can't happen.
So I lean forward and capture his lips with my own. "You know it," I say, pulling away before simply walking away.
"W-Wait a moment," Len starts, obviously shaken by this plot twist, but at that moment, my phones rings. It's Teriu.
"Hey, Sugarplum," I say with a smile into the phone.
"Who the hell are you?"
It's a female's voice.
"Rin Kagamine. Duh. Who are you?"
There is a sudden shuffling noise, and then I hear, "TEI! I TOLD YOU NOT TO STEAL MY PHONE! Seriously, kids these days…."
"You're older than me by ten minutes, asshole!"
"Whatever." The male- Teiru, of course- clears his throat and then says into the phone, "Sorry, Rinny. Tei's an idiot."
"Really now?" I ask, a slight grin in my voice.
"Yeah. Really. Anyways, how's Len? You two having sex all the time, now that I'm gone and you're alone… by yourselves… in a giant house… with lots of rooms-"
"OKAY! I GET THE POINT! And, no, we are not having sex, okkkay?" I reply, blushing furiously.
"I KEEP TRYING, TEIRU! SHE'S JUST SO… RIN-LIKE!" Len yells so that Teiru can hear him. I roll my eyes but giggle just a tiny bit.
"How are things down on your side?" I ask, sitting down onto the sofa as I do so. Len gives me a glass of water and then flips on the TV and begins surfing through the channels.
"Meh, I've had better. And worst. I'm fine," he says, only a hint of sadness in his voice. "My late night chats with Len have been helping, though."
Whoa.
Late night chats?
"Oi, Len. Why haven't I heard of any 'late night chats' with Teiru. Are you cheating on me?!" Of course I'm only kidding, but it's fun to make the shota boy sweat!
"W-What? N-No," he says, scratching his head awkwardly.
"He's totally not cheating on you, Rin. He just tells me how much he loves me every day," Teiru says through the phone.
"WHAT?! LEN, YOU ASSHOLE!" Teiru giggles, and I have to suppress my own.
"W-What? No, Tieru-it's not like… ARG!" He suddenly grabs me by the shoulders and gives me a long kiss.
"Ewwwwww! Rin, no making out over the phone. Urg, here comes the vomit," Teiru says, and I hear fake vomit sounds.
"Anyway," I say, quickly pushing Len away, embarrassed. "We'll be back in the city tomorrow. Let's meet up for some karaoke."
"Sounds good." He pauses for a second. "Tei's calling me. Teiru says goodbye!"
"Uh… Uh, Rin says Ja Ne! for now," I say, trying to talk in third person. It's actually kind of fun. We both hang up at the same time.
"Everything okay with him?" Len asks innocently. I slap him (playfully) and then sit down onto the couch.
"You would know," I say with a dirty glare. He just pulls me into his arms, and then manages to move me so that I'm sitting front of him, my back leaning against his chest, his legs extending on either side of me.
He's still not wearing a shirt.
"Kami-sama, help me," I moan.
I fall asleep on Len's shoulder later that night as we watch anime together. I wake up when he wraps one arm under my knees and the other around my back, and then picks me up without any effort, but don't open my eyes. "You should eat more, Rin. You weigh nothing." He says it in a tender voice that tells me that he doesn't know I'm awake.
Up the stairs, and then into his room. "Give me a second, I need to set something down. I don't want to do anything improper without you being awake, don't worry."
How cute. Even though I'm asleep, he still makes sure to explain everything properly so that there are no possible misunderstandings. Which, I suppose that may seem weird to a normal person, but whatever.
Len picks me back up and then crosses the hallway, entering my room. "Okay, here we are. You're in your pajamas already… I'm not sure if I should be relieved or not because I don't have to change your clothing. Let's get you into bed, Rinny."
His actions are tender and gentle. He tucks me in, and then kisses me on the forehead before hesitating for a moment, as if debating to say something. I'm still pretending to be asleep, just barely keeping my eyes open so that I can see his actions.
He leans in close, right next to my ear. "I think it's more than liking… I think… I'm in love with you."
What?
WHHHHHHHHAT?!
He turns red before getting up and turning to leave. Quickly, I grab onto the edge of his shirt and tug as hard as possible.
"RIN! YOU'RE AWAKE! Oh my gosh, you just heard… listen, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, or anything, I was just saying that like, I really… I mean, like…." He stutters while trying to explain himself, looking like a little boy. I stare at him without releasing his shirt.
Ah, these feelings are mutual.
Without saying a word, I tug him closer and closer to my bed. He stares at me, not sure what I'm trying to say. "Not… not that," I say rather quickly. No more words are needed as he climbs into my bed.
We stare at each other, our hands linked together, lying between our two bodies. An insane about of emotions rage through my body, but at the same time, I feel almost… numb.
Len let's out a soft smile before pulling my arm, dragging me closer to him. When I'm close enough, he wraps his arms around me, and suddenly I'm completely surrounded by his scent and nothing else in the world matters besides figuring out a way to stay here forever.
He strokes my hair tenderly, gently moving so that his chin is directly over my head.
"I meant what I said."
I wake up to a doorbell ringing.
We're in a different position from last night- now I lay half on top of Len and he holds me tight- but there is still that same warmth. It's incredible.
The fucking doorbell rings again, ruining the moment.
"Len," I whisper gently. Right away his eyes snap open and he smiles at me.
"Hey there." We lean in for a kiss, despite not having brushed yet-
When suddenly the person at the door gets really impatient and won't stop ringing it. "God damn it," I swear underneath my breath, and Len chuckles.
We quickly change in our respective rooms and then walk to the door together, Len's arm wrapped around my shoulder.
SeeU stands in the doorway, listening to the Korean song 'Lucifer' by Shinee. "Hey, kiddos!" she says energetically.
We're going to have to leave today.
I don't want to.
"Time to say goodbye to this beauty of a house."
It almost… hurts. So much has happened in this villa, and I feel like if Len and I suddenly leave it, I'll wake up and realize that this was all a dream.
Len grasps my hands, as if realizing all my insecurities. "We'll be fine," he says, smiling at me. Slowly, I begin feeling more and more reassured.
"Yes, we will. So now it's time to return back to reality."
Okay, I'm going to end this chapter here for now. I was thinking about writing some more, cause I do have an idea, but I figured I could save that for one more chapter.
Possibly the last chapter (besides the Epilogue).
Truthfully, I'm still unsure about how this is going to all play out... but there will probably be two to three mores chapters left in this fanfiction, including the epilogue.
Anyways, REVIEWS! REVIEW FOR ALL THIS FLUFF I HAD TO WRITE!
