A/N: To start off this author's note.. I am INCREDIBLY sorry for the long wait. I really have no excuse other than procrastinating, being lazy, and having my first writer's block xD I want to thank everyone that actually followed this story and thanks for being patient, eheh ^^; Yes, this is the last chapter for "Smile" I err, hope you like it cause I sure don't /fails at ending stories I got distracted MANY MANY times. But I'm going to start another story that isn't a oneshot. Don't forget to REVIEW! P.S Who uses the word 'jolly' anymore? ~Renny
When Len asked me to go to the park earlier, I was literally jumping for joy. I tried to contain my happiness by skipping to my room. I could tell I was becoming my old self again. Not the "I don't give a crap and leave me alone" one I was this past month. I hummed a tune to myself lightly while looking through my closet. If you find little dust particles flying in the air when you open your closet, you know it's time for shopping. Okay, maybe that was a bit exaggerated. That's when I decided to do the unthinkable.
"Um, Miku?" I was apparently going to ask her for 'wardrobe malfunction help.' I know what your thinking. "Why are you asking, Miku? The ex girlfriend of Len!" Well, don't piss your pants over it cause Miku actually seemed very jolly about this RinxLen situation. Big relief, yes? "Lemme guess, you need help picking out an outfit." she asked, smirking. I nodded shyly. Next thing you know, Miku barges through my room and heads straight for my closet. I'm going to need a new door now, thanks. "Nope, naw, eww! Hmm… close, oh perfect!" she finally exclaimed. She threw the clothes at my face. "Here, put this on!" Miku said a little too cheerfully. I thanked her before heading towards my bathroom.
I slipped on the outfit, taking my sweet time. I knew Miku's patience was running low. I put my hair in two little pigtails and my bow as a finishing touch. Smiling brightly, I examined my reflection. Miku did a good job. I struck a dramatic pose before being interrupted by Miku's calls, "Riiinnnnn, hurry up!" Her whines never seemed to cease. I ran out and, once again, struck a super hero pose. A giggling Miku tossed an orange at me, which I caught with my super awesome ninja skills. "Now come on, I wanna see Len's reaction!" she squealed, hands clasped together. After she finished her fangirl moments, Miku dragged me to the living room.
Len wasn't there yet so I started to tie my shoe. "Stupid shoelaces." I muttered darkly. I squeaked in surprise as arms wrapped around my waist. I looked at Len sternly, "Don't you ever do that again." He pouted his lips, which were soon squeezed to a certain extent of pain by me. Heading out the door, I laughed out loud when Luka shouted, "Goodbye lovebirds! Be safe!" Then her voice turned dark, "I want Rin pure when she gets home." Len's face turned bright red when he heard the last part/threat. "Don't think you'll be getting some tonight!" I teased. "Awh shucks!" He played along. I punched his arm right as his eyes seemed to shift emotion. "Save the hitting for later tonight." he added a wink. I could feel my cheeks heat up, here comes the teasing. "Haha, now who's blushing!" I surrendered, "Got me."
The walk to the park was relatively quick. I ran to the swings immediately, this was my favorite part. I sat on the blue rubber seat, yelling at Len to hurry up. I swear he can be uber slow sometimes. Once he finally caught up, he began to push the swing. I swung my legs up to catch more elevation. "Higher!" I demanded. I sighed as the wind blew through my hair, the breeze making my clothing cling to my frame. I could tell he was getting tired, the weak little shota. All of a sudden, I stopped abruptly. I was faced towards Len, his expression was hard to read. He held me close, preventing any escape. Our faces were close once again. I closed my eyes before coming in contact with his lips. The kiss was short and sweet. We both broke away, smiling.
BOOM. The twilight sky was suddenly illuminated with light. I looked at the sky in amusement. I glanced at Len, "Really? You had to get fireworks? So cliché." I remarked. "Hey, I didn't plan this." I raised an eyebrow before hearing a familiar voice yelling at the both of us. "WOOT! Len, get some!" Gakupo shouted as he ran up to us. I laughed lightheartedly along with Len. The others soon arrived, crowding around us. Meiko pushed poor Kaito face first into the floor. "I'm watching you, Len." She warned before pulling him into a hug. Len was gasping for air when she finally let go. "You owe me a new ice cream cone!" Kaito whined.
The rest of the day was filled with bliss as we all played a ridiculous game of tag. I guess that's what we get when we let Tako Luka make the rules. I was all smiles as we watched the crackling fire that warmed the campfire treat. Meiko was showing us some sort of "dance" but she was to drunk to remember the steps. Len pulled me into a hug, a wide smile stretching across my face.
"I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldn't brighten her own."
