Smile

Chapter 4
Dream?

"I do love you, Rin." Those words echoed in my mind as I slowly regained consciousness. I kept my eyes shut, trying to recognize that angelic voice. It sounded an awful lot like Len, unbelievable. Trying to move, I realized something. An unknown weight was wrapped around my waist. I opened my eyes cautiously, adjusting my vision. Completely puzzled, I turned my head to find who was hugging me so passionately. Upon seeing Len's face, I got even more confused, if that was possible. Thinking it was a realistic dream, I pinched myself harshly. Ouch, nope.

Still wondering, I decided to enjoy the moment. I stared at his beautiful face. He was just absolutely perfect. His fair, creamy complexion that was flawless. The sun hitting his golden blond hair at the right angle, making it "glow." Don't even get me started with those soft, kissable lips. Feeling like a complete stalker, I looked away. I felt a blush creep up my face. If Len's in a relationship with Miku, why is he showing such affection to me? Questions filled my head at an overwhelming speed, trying to find their answers. When I stole a small glance at Len, I swore my heart skip a beat. Len had awoken and was staring at me with his big, blue orbs. Getting lost in them, I felt my body go numb. I bet my face looked ridiculous. He was still staring at me with eyes full of… love?

The peaceful silence took over as we continued to look at each other, unblinking. He didn't need to speak, this was enough for me. I don't know how long we stayed like this, but I noticed his face was getting closer. Oh. My. Gosh. I think my face became even redder. Our faces were just inches apart. Air was the only thing separating us. I could smell his sweet breath engulfing my face. We both started to lean in, our lips barely touching. I closed my eyes, ready for this long awaited moment.

"Rin! Lunchtime!" boomed a sober Meiko. Breaking away from the kiss that never happened, Len and I quickly jumped up from bed. After taking in the situation, Meiko winked at me before leaving. I looked at my pale feet, finding a topic to talk about. Caught off guard, Len wrapped his arms around me, pulling us closer together. I looked into his eyes, questioning this random action. "I broke up with, Miku." He brought up, "I didn't realize I was hurting you." I felt my heart flutter with joy. I smiled so wide that my cheeks started to hurt. "Let's go eat!" I said, taking his soft hand into my own. We smiled at each other before giggling to whole way to the kitchen. I sighed, in a good way, just like old times.

Our laughter filled the air as we entered the room. My giggling came to a halt as I spotted Miku. I didn't want things to become awkward among us. Expecting a menacing glare, she gave me a cheery smile. Phew- I heard Len let out a breath of relief beside me.

Len and I took a seat next to each other. "Want to go to the park later?" I nodded enthusiastically before devouring my sushi. Hearing Len's adorable chuckle, I looked up. "What?" I asked. "You got rice on your lip." The silence was interrupted by an eruption of intense laughter. Happy tears fell from my eyes this time. I was finally becoming the old Rin again.
