Kaito x Reader x Len - Love Triangle Ch 5

Fire Flower - Kaito / Reader / Len Love Triangle

Chapter 4 -

You ran off the stage, ridiculed and too nervous to nervous to sing. The crowd booed, the chanted and they made tears start to form in your eyes. You ran out of the school building and stood crying outside, the cool summer wind playing with your hair. How did this nightmare happen? Right, Miku happened. And it all started with?... Oh, yes....

[A few hours earlier]

You stood in front of the mirror in your room. You had just returned from the last day of school and you were getting ready for the contest. This could be it, your big break. Excitement filled you as you changed into the outfit that Rin had helped you pick out at the beginning of the week. Your costume consisted of a plain pair of jeans and a sparkly [favourite colour] tank top which would catch the stage lights as you sang. You pulled your hair into a basic pony tail and did your makeup a little darker than you normally would, giving you a simple yet dramatic look. You completed the outfit with a large pair of dangling earrings and a basic pair of high heels that matched your top.

You checked the time. Good, there was about fifteen minutes before Kaito had said he would pick you up, just enough time to practise the song Len had given you. Kaito had managed to get the night off at the recording studio, but he hadn't had any time to practise with you. Meeting you half way, he had suggested he would take you there.

You were happy Kaito was talking to you again, but somehow he just didn't seem... 'there'. He was distant and wouldn't tell you what was on his mind. It made you think you had did something wrong and made you feel bad about yourself. You had to just keep telling yourself that you had done nothing since the fight to upset him.

A text form Kaito appeared on your phone twenty minutes later.

'Sorry' it read. And that was it.... just 'Sorry'.

Another five minutes past and you suddenly understood what the message meant. He wasn't coming to pick you up after all. He had stood you up when you needed him the most. Tears prickled in your eyes but you pushed them back. You grabbed your phone and punched in a number.
"Hello?" a horse voice on the other end of the phoned asked.

"Geez, Rin! What in the world happened to you?!" You answer back. She sounded ill.

"Oh, hey [Name]. I haven't been feeling to good today." It was true that you hadn't seen her at all during school today, but you would have never have guessed she was this sick."I'm sorry but I had to withdraw from the competition. And I have a feeling it's all that teal haired witches doing!" Rin ranted.

Wait! Miku's doing. You didn't understand and asked Rin to explain what she meant.

"She made Len and I tea when she was over at our place last night. He seems to be okay but I've been ill since! I never should have trusted that demon! She jus-... Wait a minute. Wasn't Kaito meant to be picking you up like.... ages ago...?"

"Ye-" You tried to reply but Rin cut you off again.

"Oh my poor baby! Len's still here. Leon is picking him and the witch up. I'll ask Leon to pick you up too. Kay?" Leon was the name of another boy in Kaito's year. He was a close friend of the Kagamine family. It was no surprise to you that he would be heading to the school as he and his girlfriend were competing too.

When Leon's car rolled up to your house, you were already late.  You opened the door and squeezed into the small car. With the five of you in it, the car was at its limit. Of course, Leon was driving, as he was the only one of you that had a licence, and his girlfriend, Lola sat in the front passenger seat, singing along with the radio. In the back, Len sat in the middle between Miku and yourself. You were glad he still remembered the history you had with Miku and he was willing to be used as a wall to stop fighting breaking out in the car. It seemed strange to that he didn't seem to remember his own past with Miku and the pain she had caused him, but as the car pulled away, you turned you attention to the competition.

You sat in the wings waiting for your turn on stage. You watched as Luki and his street dancing group made their way onto the stage. The thought of Luki being able to dance had never seemed possible to you and you were ready to be proven wrong.

Miku had left to meet her friends and so called 'fans'. These fans were technically just the victims of Miku's bullying and you did feel sorry for them, but honestly you were glad to be out of that pampered dogs way.  It also left you some time to talk to Len without her threats. Unfortunately, he didn't seem in the mood for talking, as so far most of your conversations had gone along the lines of;

"Thanks for picking me up."

"Mm"

Or; "Nice weather we had today."

"Mm"

And finally. "Len, I have something I want to tell you that I've never told anyone before. I... I... I was abducted last Friday night by aliens who looked like Elvis and now I think there is a green and purple polka-dot version of me running around wearing platform boots in the middle of the Sahara Desert."

"M- Wait? What?"

"So you are listening to me" You sigh at having to resort to the polka-dot alien strategy.

"I was... well kind of.. sort of... What I mean is..." He sighed as well. "Here"

A deep blush covered his cheeks as he handed you a small blank piece of paper. You stared at it for a few seconds before sarcastically saying, "Wow, Len! This is the greatest gift you have ever given me. I'll cherish it forever!"

"Turn it over, Baka." Len simply stated.

You did as you were told and turned over the piece of paper. You gasped as you read the other side. It wasn't just paper it was a concert ticket. You read the first line.

Len Kagamine ; Live

Without saying a word, you threw yourself into Len's arms and held in tightly. Surprise filled his facial features and he stood shocked for a few minutes.

"Im so proud of you, Sweetheart! You're going to the top!"  You shout, only to be silenced by a nearby teacher.

"No, you're so proud of US."He countered, his arms slipping around your waist, "You wrote the song. And I want you to be there with me. Every step of the way."

"But Len!" You continued to read the ticket, still being held by him. "It's in Hawaii! And it's less than a week from now!"

"We'll find a way" He lifted your chin with his forefinger and thumb. The small, simple movement reminded you of the old Kaito. "And you know what else?"

"What?"

Without saying anything else he pulled you into a passionate, warm kiss. Without thinking you kissed him back, resting your hands on his chest and feeling warm and safe in his arms. You could have stood there for eternity. He was so different form Kaito. He was gentler, sweeter, warmer. He seemed to actually like you for you and not just for your body like Kaito sometimes seemed so focused on. But it ended far too quickly...

*Click*

And, as if on cue, there was Miku, camera in her hand. Len pushed you away from him rather roughly and you fell to the floor. He wouldn't look you in the eye when you turned to face him.

'Geez,' You thought, 'Will this B@#*^ ever leave me alone?'
