Good Night's Dream

Chapter 2
A Faint Wish

"I don't know you," She said, "But I like your eyes."

I felt the tears threatening to spill. But I simply smiled warmly and said,

"Thanks…I like your ribbon." I said, hoping that that would bring up a past memory from 5th grade. She looked a bit confused, and I turned to Rin's mom. "I…I need a moment." I quickly started out of the room, biting back the tears that threatened to spill. I can't cry now, for my own sake. The last thing I heard before I shut the door was,

"Who are you?"

It was Spring Break, a month after the accident. I haven't seen Rin since that day when I learned about her amnesia. Right now I'm at my house, getting materials out for the breakfast I am about to make myself, when I heard my phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hi Len," The voice had a soprano ring to it, and it was full of warmth and love. Just like hers, except this one was tainted with the raspy sound of aging.

"Hi Mrs. Kagamine," I answered. Even hearing her moms voice breaks my heart.

"I'm going to be out all break, so I was wondering," I knew where this was going already. "If you would stay with Rin."

…

What do I do?

Should I go see my girlfriend?

No, she can't be my girlfriend.

As much as I want to know she is, she can't be my girlfriend.

She can't, because she doesn't even remember me.

"Hello? Len, are you there?" I quickly came back to reality.

"Yes, sorry Mrs. Kagamine."

"It's alright. Now, I want you over in about two hours. Don't be late, can't keep Rin waiting."

"But, wait-!" It was too late. She had already hung up. I sighed and continued to start to make the last breakfast I would eat by myself.

"Thank you so much Len, for being here."

"Yeah, well you didn't give me much a choice."

I was now outside of Rin's two-story house. Mrs. Kagamine was packing up her car, and Rin was watching from the window. I couldn't help but glance at her every so often. But it was a bit uncomfortable; every time I did she would see me and blush, and then look away.

Rin's mom giggled and got into the car. She waved me over and I obeyed. In the softest voice she could muster, she whispered,

"Good luck."

After that, she drove off. I turned around to see that Rin had stepped out of the house.

"I remember you."

I felt a rush go through my body. She remembered me? What do I do? Len, say something!

"Y-you do?"

"Yeah, you're the guy with the pretty eyes. The one who visited with my mom."

I felt my heart sink. I knew it was too good to be true…

"U-um…yeah…"

"Mom also told me that you're my best friend, is that right?" She smiled a wonderful bright smile and I felt my cheeks grow warm.

"Y-yeah…" She smiled again, but it soon disappeared. She made a face that looked like she was in pain, and held her head in her hands.

"R-Rin?" I wrapped an arm around her, and she fell to the ground.

"A-ahh!" I saw myself kneeling on the ground next to her and wrapping my arms around her.

"Rin, tell me what's up!" She was breathing heavily but finally relaxed. I took this time to take a look at her. Her eyes were shut peacefully and a small frown curled over her lips.

She fell asleep.

I smiled to myself and picked her up bridal-style, taking her into her bedroom. I kicked the door open to reveal her small bedroom.

It still looked the same from Middle School, how cute.

I gently placed her on the bed. Brushing some stray hair that lay over her face, I knelt down next to the bed and took her small, soft hand into mine. She just looked so adorable when she slept, and I couldn't help but bring out a smile. I got up and walked out of the bedroom; I didn't want her to wake up with me in her face. That would be pretty embarrassing…

I made my way into the living room and sat on the blue cushioned couch, turning on the TV.

What the hell…

My eyesight began to get fuzzy as I flipped from channel to channel.

Why now, Len?

Why have you been holding it in for so long, anyway?

Damn it, Len…

I grabbed the nearest pillow on the couch, and did one of the things I've been holding in for so long.

I screamed.

It's been two days. I'm so worried…

Why won't she wake up?

"Hmm," The Doctor hummed to himself as he looked at a few papers. After Rin sleeping for a whole day, I took her to the hospital. I…I couldn't think of anything else to do.

I stood there patiently, waiting for the Doctor to tell me what was wrong with her. I read over his name-tag…Dr. Gakupo? Hm, strange name.

"Well," He finally said something, causing me to perk up, "She seems to be suffering from amnesia…"

No shit Sherlock. I knew that, just get to the point!

"And the cause of her sleep is that she is regaining past memories." He went on and on about this process and I nodded and looked through the window at Rin, who was sleeping peacefully in the hospital bed. Absentmindedly, I walked into the examination room and stared at her. She looked so innocent. I found myself softly caressing her cheek.

"Is she your girlfriend?" I looked up and saw a nurse. Blushing, I pulled my hand away and she giggled, her emerald eyes glittering. "It's okay; I've seen it all before. Well, is she your girlfriend?" I nodded and she smiled. "Well, I'm sure she'll wake up soon. Don't worry about her, she's in good hands." I simply nodded again, but kept my eyes on Rin. "The quiet type, aren't we?" She asked, and giggled again. "Feel free to stay as long as you like." She waved goodbye, and left the room, her short green choppy hair bouncing up and down.

Stay as long as I like, huh? I looked out the window; it was already dark. I knelt down next to the hospital bed and took Rin's soft hand into mine.

"Please wake up soon," I whispered, and kissed her hand before falling asleep.

"Len…Len…wake up…" I rubbed my shifty eyes awake and looked around the room. Ah, darn it, everything was still fuzzy… "Len, I'm right here silly. Hello?" I blinked a few times and saw Rin's smiling face right in front of mine. Rin…?

"Rin!" I attacked her with a hug and nuzzled my face into her neck. "You're awake!"

"Yes, I am," She giggled, and returned the hug. We stayed that way for awhile until I realized I've been hugging her for what probably seemed like ages. I pulled away, my cheeks a bit warm.

"So…" I started, nervously, "Do you…um…remember?" I nervously began to play with my fingers. What if she didn't remember? What would you do then, Len?

"I'm sorry…" She said, and I turned my head away from her. I knew it was too good to be true… She grabbed my cheeks and made me face her. "That I do remember that I love you…" She pulled me closer to her and gently placed her lips on mine. I found myself wrapping my arms around her slender waist, and pulling her closer to me as I melted into the kiss that I've missed for so long. Her lips were warm and soft, just like I'd remembered. She moved her hands from my cheeks and wrapped them around my neck, and started to toy with my hair.

"Ahem." I quickly let go of Rin and turned to where the voice came from, to see that nurse from last night. She had an eyebrow raised and was smiling. I blushed and looked away, and heard Rin giggle. "I see that your girlfriend is alright, then." She said, and laughed. I looked back to her, to see that she was facing Rin now. "Keep a close eye on that one, dear. He's a keeper." She winked at her then turned back to me. "And don't let her slip away, you!" She ruffled my hair and pranced off, leaving us alone. There was a sort of awkward silence.

"Hey, Rin?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too."
