AN: This is basically just an intro/prelude to the story.
(Len's POV)
Most of the time, I just went with what seemed right or natural. There wasn't any reason for me to go against what was meant to be, right? I knew that looking for love and happiness was worth it even if there was a risk, so I just went for it, since keeping my feelings a secret would probably only cause more problems in the long run.
What I knew for sure was that I loved Kaito Shion, and I was pretty certain he felt the same way, so instead of denying it and waiting for it to fade away I decided to embrace it, and even... tell him about it. It would take a lot of courage to confess my feelings to him, but it was the only way I could possibly start a relationship with him, and was that not what I wanted more than anything?
Love was good, it was great... It wasn't totally practical to assume it would all turn out fine, but it was a much happier life than being pessimistic and always expecting things to turn out badly. Even if it meant getting hurt in the future, it was still a lot better to have a positive outlook on life, especially on love, so that was the perspective I chose to take.
(Kaito's POV)
I never understood how some Pete fall in love so easily, how they give up everything for one person, at least until I experienced it for myself. Why would someone be so stupid that they'd allow someone else to take over all their thoughts, to take over their heart? I thought if I tried hard enough, I could avoid the curse known as "love," but I was wrong.
I had been in love at one point, a time that was shoved back into memories I would avoid thinking about at all costs. When I was still in middle school, I had... a lot of feelings for my senpai, Gakupo Kamui, who was already a third year in high school, but he didn't like guys... And he already had a girlfriend, the beautiful Luka Megurine. When I figured out we would never actually be together, I was so heartbroken I could barely force myself to breath. I would spend days crying, in my room all alone, completely absorbed in my sadness.
After losing so much as a result of "love," there was no way I could ever risk losing it all again if I was smart or sane at all, but love is a powerful and addictive drug, so sanity never really played a role in it. Most of all, it wasn't something I could control.
There was something about Len that made me want to spend more and more time with him, to always be with him and to be able to be as important to him as he is and was to me. It was a selfish thing for me to want, since I was sure he had things he would rather do than hang out with me, but I couldn't help craving him. Whenever we were apart. What was it about Kagamine Len that made me feel so... weird? I knew I was falling in love with him, even more than I was with Gakupo two years before this. We were in the same school and had been friends since childhood, even though he was 14 and I was 16. He was a first year, a 10th grader, and had skipped a grade, and I was a second year, just a normal 11th grader. I didn't know how he felt about me, but I couldn't help but hope he liked me back.
Still, after the pain I had suffered in the past, how could I be so stupid that I would risk it all again?
