It was an average day for Gumi in her usual science lab. She loved creating and mixing new creations more than anything, and this one was no different. In fact, she was sure this one would be better than all others. This small container of pink liquid would finally make Gakupo love her. He would stop focusing on Luka, who obviously didn't care about him anyways, and focus on the girl who was always there. This love potion would change everything for the better, right? But first...

...She needed a tester.

"There he is!" Gumi said aloud, spotting her close friend Piko at the table. He looked bored and half awake-such a perfect target. "Hey, Piko-kun!" She smiled, running over to the boy.

He gave her a dazed look. "What do you want, Gumi...?"

"You want me to make you some breakfast? I mean, after all, you look really tired and a nice breakfast will sure make you feel better!" She patted Piko's head, but he quickly shook off her hand.

"I'm good. Thanks though."

The green-haired girl frowned. How was she going to convince him to take the thing now?

"Um...Then why don't you have a protein shake! I usually make carrot or banana flavored, but just for Piko-kun I could make some spearmint, kay?"

"Banana-flavored shakes?" Len called, rishing down the hall. "Gumi, could I please have one? Please?"

The girl smiled. "Of course!" Because, how could she refuse someone practically begging to be one of her test subjects? "One banana and one spearmint, coming up!"

Wasting no time, she hastily began working on the shakes as Len sat down at the table.

"Morning, Piko-tan!" The boy happily giggled. "How are you?" He could tell the answer already by the dark circles under his eyes.

"Not great..." The albino sighed. "Master told me I needed to be cuter today."

"What?" Len said in shock. "But how?"

"The usual stuff master does. He told me to sing some yaoi duets with gakupo of all people, cross-dress, and act innocent...I just don't think I can do that though."

Len frowned. "You kind of get used to it after a while, though. Master really loves making me sing duets with Kaito, so I get how you feel..."

"I just wish...I was cuter...or something, I guess. I just hope master can be proud of me."

"You are cute!" Len blurted out, immediately regretting it. "I mean, I don't think you should have to change...uh...you're great the way you are..."

"Oh..um...thanks, Len. You're way too nice." Piko's cheeks turned a slight pinkish color on his usually pale skin.

Gumi quickly glanced at the two, making sure they weren't looking at her, and put a few drops of the pinkish liquid into each of their drinks. "Okay guys, it's ready!" She placed the shakes close to them and watched them eagerly. "Drink up!"

Both boys became very uneasy. Gumi wasn't always this crazy-happy, right? And why was she practically analyzing their every move?

Trying not to hurt his close friend's feelings, Piko took a large gulp of the shake. To his suprise, it was actually pretty decent. "This Is really good. Thanks, Gumi!" As he continued to suck down the shake, Len gained sudden confidence and tried some as well.

"Yeah, these are awesome, Gumi!"

"I'm glad you like them." The green-haired girl smiled at the job well done on her part. The hardest part of the test was over. Now she just needed to observe their actions.

Later that day, the two young boys headed up to their rooms for the night, talking about(as Piko called them) "trivial things".

"Are you still worried about singing in front of master tomorrow, Piko-tan?" Len questioned, causing Piko to look incredibly nervous.

"Very," He sighed, his attention focusing to one of the buttons on his shirt.

The blonde hated seeing the albino nervous. Usually if he was, he would never show it. But for him to be this open about it? It had to be serious.

Before Piko realized what was going on, he was wrapped up in a tight hug. "L-len..?"

"I'm sure you'll do awesome, Piko-tan! Master will be swept off his feet!"

The albino snuggled closer into Len's chest, saying something he would never say.

"I love you, Len-kun."

And as soon as he did, he realized what he just did. "I-I mean..you're very important to me...a-a-and thank you!" He pushed away from the other boy, who still looked liked he was in a state of shock.

"I-It just slipped out.." Piko reassured, turning the same crimson color as Len. "I-I'm sorry..!"

Before the blonde could respond Piko had ran to his room and locked the door.

"Why would I say that!" Piko thought aloud, his fist hitting the door. What was Len going to think now? And why did he even say it? Did he love Len? He wasn't sure, but he knew saying it didn't feel quite right.

"Please forgive me, Len..."

Sorry about the lovely amounts of exposition -.- I just couldn't think of a shorter way to write it! Next chapter will hopefully be out soon, and it will have neko's and LenPiko, as promised. xD
