Meanwhile...

[Beneath a tree in one of the Dressing Room's many parks, a Rin lies, apparently sleeping. Perfectly normal, right? Well-- except for the fact she's in a hospital gown.

And those choking noises she's making as she struggles to breathe.]

F-- father?

Comments

[sunlitflower]

[and Rin is back to flushing]

I feel the same way!


[she falls silent for a moment, thinking]

I-- really can't thank you enough, Len. Not just for today-- though that was amazing. Just... for everything.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[That makes Len blush a little again too, squeezing her hand slightly.]
It's the same for me, I think I would have gone insane without your letters.
Thank you as well, Rin. ...For everything.

[sunlitflower]

You... too?

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[He nods, smiling.]

Me too.

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot to tell you!

I made us a house! [Len stops a moment, removing one of his hands to rub the back of his head.]
Oh, well...not really made so much as I re-modeled it a bit...

1/2

[sunlitflower]

A house? Really?!

[she claps her hands together gleefully]

Oh, that's wonderful, I've been living in a small room for so long, and--

[sunlitflower]

[--then the 'us' part catches up with her and she once more turns beet-red]

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[A little confused by her stopping mid-sentence, but figures out why after a minute or two.]

O-oh! I just thought it would be bad for you to live alone i-if you were sick-um! It's not like we don't have separate rooms-It's pretty big house!! And, uh-I can move if it really bothers you! [ajdsdjf He's probably getting closer and closer to the same shade of red with each word that comes out of his mouth now.]

[sunlitflower]

...

[Rin can't help it, she ends up giggling at little. she wouldn't admit it (yet) but that's a pretty cute expression he has there!]

N-- no. I appreciate it, Len. I'm really touched! I was just... surprised!

[...and pretty embarrassed. what girl wouldn't be, knowing the boy she's loved for a while went out and prepared a house for them to live together in?]

He needs a sheepish icon I swears

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Well the (adorable)giggling helped calm him down a bit from his momentary panic, but Len was still feeling rather embarrassed himself, now.]

Oh...um...

Want to go see it?

Hee!

[sunlitflower]

Well, of course!

[smiles]

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[Len can't help smiling back, Rin's smile always made him feel better. So now he's rather excited to show her the house; he had worked very hard on it after all! Even if it is a little embarrassing still. He tugs lightly on her hand to indicate the direction of 'home'.]

It's this way!

[sunlitflower]

[squeezes back, telling herself it's just because she was startled, is all!]

I can't wait...

[aitai-aitai.livejournal.com]

[After a short walk, they arrive at a big white house with black roof tiles and light yellow accenting the window frames; and there are a lot of windows. They all have the same light yellow curtains, as well.
The front yard was very big, though a majority of it was taken up by flowers that were just starting to bloom.
The back yard had a nice high wooden fence around it, also painted white, and it looked like there was a greenhouse in the yard.]

Um...this is it. Do you like it, Rin?
[Len seemed a bit nervous.]

[sunlitflower]

[she looks amazed]

This... this is wonderful, Len! I can't believe it...

[Rin sends him a wide reassuring smile, though still very much in the same state of embarrassment she's been in since they've started talking a while ago]
