Okay, let's jump into le story! WOoOOOOooOo!11! e u e b)

When both teens reached the top of the stairs, they were flabbergasted. What they saw had sent their minds reeling. Miku was filled with consternation. Around her, everything was engulfed in an eerie silence while she was motionless in the middle of it all. It was as if her brain short-circuited and needed to be rebooted. Len paled at the sight of them, bewilderment visible on his charming face. His handsome brows flew to a frown as he regained his senses. He slapped a hand to his forehead, shaking his head a little. "Stupid Meiko! Why didn't she throw them out on her way home as I told her to! Stupid Rin, stupid me! Dammit! How could we have not noticed it this morning before we left for school!"he cursed under his breath, loud enough only for himself to hear. His mind quickly turned its gears to formulate a good excuse.

It took a while for Miku to register what she saw into her brain. When she finally did, she sent a mixture of a confused and accusing glare at Len. In it, however, still had a glint of hope. Len decided to make use of that tiny piece of hope that seemed to be diminishing as the seconds ticked by.

He took off his red glasses, rubbed his eyes and placed them back on. He wore his most puzzled looking expression before it changed to one of realisation. He turned to Miku, looking extremely abashed and told her, "Th-these used c-condoms belong to my sister. I told her to throw them out yesterday after her session with her boyfriend in her room. I guess she decided not to heed the advice of her younger brother. Sorry you had to see this," he laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. 'Buy the story! Buy the story!' he pleaded.

Even after hearing what he said, Miku still shot him a sceptical look. 'I'm not sure if I can believe him. I mean, I do trust Len, but I trusted him (*1) too when he gave me a similar excuse and….' Her train of thoughts trailed off.

Len went into a state of panic when he saw the traces of doubt on her face. 'Shit! Fuck everything! The game just started, I can't lose her trust at such a vital time!' he internally swore.

As if reading his mind, the front door noisily swung open and a teen strolled in. Both teens instinctively turned towards the source of the sound. The newly arrived teen looked up, sensing presence other than herself in her house. Her azure eyes landed on Miku and Len and her eyebrows raised in confusion. "Who's that?" she asked, walking up the stairs.

"Rin," Len greeted, bowing low. Now Rin looked even more confused. What the hell was up with her brother?! Since when had he treated her with such respect? (*2)

Miku examined the girl in front of her. She resembled Len a lot, save for the slight slope on her chest. It was as if she was a perfect female carbon copy of Len. She had striking cerulean eyes which were accompanied by a glint of mischief in it. She had choppy, uneven, layered blonde hair which reached just an inch above her shoulders. She was surprisingly about half a head shorter than Miku, despite looking much more mature than the both of them. She donned a white rabbit ear- like bow on the top of her head and her fringe was nicely swept to the side of her face with two white bobby pins. Two other congruent hair pins of a similar colour nestled comfortably on the other side of her hair to keep it from obstructing her view. She had on a uniform of a different school and was clutching her schoolbag. It was covered by so many contemporary badges that one could hardly tell the colour of the bag. In her other hand was an orange lollipop that she had removed from her mouth so she could speak.

"Good afternoon," Miku imitated Len in bowing for it was an obligation to treat the hosts or owners of the house with respect in her country, Japan.

She nodded in acknowledgement before speaking up. "You guys looked scared to death up here just now. What's wrong?"

Len pointed to the several used condoms that were scattered on the floor. "You forgot to throw out your condoms after your session with your boyfriend last night," he stated, winking at Rin for her to get the signal.

Rin, of course, being his twin, understood perfectly. She decided to play along. He would owe her big time later. "Oh shit. Sorry 'bout that," She grinned goofily as if the condoms were nothing but dirty socks. "Len, throw them out for me. I've got loads of work to do. Thanks a bunch." She walked past him towards her bedroom but not before whispering in his ear, "You owe me big time. Now go throw your shit yourself. There's no way I'm touching them," With that, Rin slammed her door shut.

After that awkward conversation, it dawned on Miku that it wasn't Len's. She let out a sigh of relief before laughing lightly. "Oh my gosh. For a second there, I thought they were yours," she wiped a drip of sweat of anxiousness off her forehead with the back of her smooth palm. She gave him a smile, apologising, "Sorry for doubting you. I swear I'll trust you wholeheartedly from now on."

Len beamed back as he gingerly picked up the condoms off the floor. "It's fine! Just wait here while I throw out these." He ran down the flight of stairs, simpering. 'This just made things easier for me.'

Miku was now in Len's room (of course after he thoroughly checked the room for anymore evidences of his night with Meiko) and she absolutely, absolutely, ABSOLUTELY adored it. Though a little cramped, it was cosy looking. It was cool and refreshing since the air conditioner had been turned on to a mere 18 degrees Celsius. Both teens sat on the fuzzy, carpeted blue floor. Len grabbed a large quilt and had draped it over both of them to warm them up a little. Miku gazed at the room longingly. If only her house looked as cosy and homely as this, instead of the lifeless and dull span of area she was faced with every day.

The room was cheery for it was all covered in yellow with the occasional navy blue. The wallpaper was dotted with graphics of bananas and Miku giggled at that. It was so cute, just like Len.

There was a study table void of anything except for a Macbook and a table lamp. There was a midnight blue leather seat situated in front of the desk but it looked more uncomfortable compared to sitting on the floor. The back of the chair was just unusually straight and would sprain their spine in an uncomfortable position so they had decided to sit on the floor instead.

The floor of the room was covered entirely by the cobalt blue carpet, accentuating the room with complementary colours. It was made of a warm, fuzzy material; polypropylene perhaps. Miku loved it and made another mental note to herself to buy a rug of this material for her room.

For backing support purposes, they had chosen to sit in front of the side of Len's bed. It was soft, possibly made of memory foam. Miku let out a small blissful sigh of contentment.

Their textbooks laid sprawled in front them. Miku picked up one with bold green letters printed across the surface of the cover: '化学の教科書ボリュームA'. (*3) In a smaller font was 'Chemistry Textbook Volume A'.

"Let's start with Chemistry, shall we?" She gave him no time to answer, for she had flipped open the book.

Len breathed out in annoyance. 'This is all for the sake of the game,' he repeatedly proclaimed to himself in his mind.

Miku was a surprisingly good teacher; what she had taught him could be registered in his head, unlike the teacher's, which just flew out of his other ear as fast as it travelled in from one ear. It was not as bad as he thought it would be, because Miku was patient and her soothing voice calmed him whenever he was stressing over a chemistry equation he couldn't solve. He immediately felt at ease at the sound of her melodious voice.

As if lightning struck him, Len asked her a question out of the subject, "Could you sing for me, Hatsune-san?"

Miku was a little astonished at his sudden request. She didn't want to. She only hummed while showering in the bathroom so no one had ever heard her sing, except for her ex. He had told her it sounded great, but she couldn't trust his words. They were all a pack of lies.

She shook her head, her teal hair swishing from side to side. But no, Len didn't back down that easily. He just widened his azure orbs, his bottom lip sticking out in a pout as he looked at her with his pleading puppy eyes.

As much as she wanted to reject him, it was impossible to resist. "Fine, name me a song. Also, call me Miku," she sighed in defeat. Len just pumped his fist in the air in victory.

"How about…" he pondered, stroking his chin in the process. "I've got it! How about 'Hm? Ah, yes' ?" Len asked.

That had caught Miku by surprise. He had requested a song that blatantly stated sex, lust and the like. Oh well, it was just a song, and considering Len was 17 already, listening to such a song wasn't illegal or anything like that. Even so, his selection had shaken her a little.

Len wondered whether his song choice was an obvious enough hint on what he planned to do in the near future to her. 'Soon, Miku, soon,' these words flashed across his mind.

"That was AMAZING!" Len gaped. Miku hid her tomato red face with her dainty hands, embarrassed by his compliment.

"T-thanks," was all she managed to stammer.

He laughed heartily at her shy manner and gave a light pat on her head. "That was honestly great! No, wait—you're great!" he praised. His other head snaked out to her waist and pulled her into a hug. Miku's teal eyes widened in astound by his intimate act. The way he had initiated it made her feel that he was more manly than the usual adorable guy he was. He would've made it to Miku's list of potential boyfriends, if not for the fact she wanted to stay as friends. (*4) She buried her face in his lean chest as her cheeks flushed even more, the red spreading to the tip of her ears. And the blush wasn't necessarily because of his compliment.

Len placed his chin atop Miku soft hair, the way couples would while they were cuddling. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. This was all too easy. He wanted to spice things up a bit. And he would.

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk you back home? It's near dinner-time! Stay for dinner!" Len suggested.

"I'm pretty sure my cousin already cooked dinner. Plus, I'm already 17, mind you. I'm fine going back myself," she giggled. She liked how Len had offered to send her back. It was…gentlemanly, unlike the fluffy, cute kid he usually was.

"Alright then, but at least till the train station," he pleaded, preparing to use another puppy-dog eye on her. Again, she complied. Grabbing his jacket off a coat hanger, he dashed out of the door, grabbing Miku's hand in the process. "I'll be back in 10!" he shouted to Rin, closing the door behind him.

He led her out of his apartment building and into the streets. His hand still tightly gripped hers for god-knows-what reason. Her hands was getting numb and she felt an uncomfortable tingling sensation. "U-um, Len, I think it's alright to let go of me… I'm not gonna get lost or anything," she teased. Upon realised their hands were still connected, Len released his grip, blushing. "Oh, sorry 'bout that," he laughed, scratching his cheek.

Miku tittered. The dear, old, shy Len was back. Not that she hated it, of course.

The walk to the train station was quiet like before, but this time it wasn't as awkward. There was a strangely good vibe, which unbeknownst to them both, was because of the cuddle they had shared earlier on.

At the memory, both broke into a smile.

"We're here," Len declared, stating the obvious.

"Yeah. So…I'm gonna go now… Bye Len," she waved to him and turned around.

At the last minute, Len pulled her shoulders back and a gasp of surprise emitted from Miku. He took this chance to plant a short kiss on her lips. Miku saw a hint of a face completely engulfed by a fiery red before he sped off into the distance. Miku, who had no time to react, just slumped to her knees. Quite a number of commuters had seen what had happened. Some tutted, shaking their heads disapprovingly while others sighed, admiring young love.

Miku raised her hands to her lips, her face reddening for about the millionth time ever since she'd met Len. She couldn't resist a small smile on her lips. The kiss, albeit short, was very sweet. She was able to taste Len in that short span of time; mint and cinnamon mixed together in a refreshing, loving, yet seductive concoction. The last factor though, was not apparent to her for she was blinded by his gentleness. Soon, though, soon.

"Hey, Len. Why the hell did you make me take cover for you? Isn't she one of your sex buddies? By the way, you owe me an ice-cream for that and a one way ticket to a week's worth of my chores," Rin inquired.

"Hm? Her? Oh, most definitely not. She's a new plaything that I wanna deceive for a while," he revealed, no sign of remorse on his inhumanly handsome face.

"Why do you wanna deceive her? Why do you act shy in school?" Rin pressed on further. She was really curious as to why her brother did it and she finally had the chance to unlock all his secrets.

"Slow down, woman. Well, it's fun to. As to the second question, it's easy to get away with the bad stuff I do since no one even doubts an innocent guy like me. Look at Miku. She does all these stuff openly and gets accused and mocked. I don't want that. I wanna keep a low profile," Sarcasm was stressed on the word innocent.

Rin just rolled her eyes. "Yeah, call yourself a man. Even Miku has more balls than you," the 19 year old muttered in disgrace of her brother.

Len did hear though and he let out a dark laugh. "Just you wait, Rin. I'll reveal my true self soon. Very soon,"
