Len's POV

I was sure everything would go great, until I heard that Oliver had invited Fukase to our sleepover. Im trying to use the least girly word for that.

"Look... I don't have anything against Fukase but... I don't know... Don't you think he's a bit," I paused and shrugged, avoiding eye contact with Oliver, "Creepy..?" I finished.

I could tell I had stirred Oliver's defensive side. Everyone was right when they said he was adorable. "No, He's not creepy! He is very nice, and he listens to what I have to say. And I think he cares about what others think of him, He just doesnt show it."

That was an understatement. The red haired boy never covered his.. I'll call it 'monster side' like Oliver does. Though Oliver's is a bit different. Fukase is always outgoing and playful. I've never once seen him upset or heard him be negative. I didn't mind Fukase too much. Sure his eye and face disturbed me a bit, and sometimes he really gave off a 'psychotic' vibe... Maybe Oliver is right. Who knows.

Fukase was a new Vocaloid. Only about a year or so old. I do pity him a bit, but only in secret. Unlike the things some of the meaner Vocaloids said when they thought Fukase couldn't hear. Some of them were very hurtful.

"Alright... I hope you've at least talked with Piko about it too." I gave up, no use arguing about it now anyway. None of us would dare try and uninvite him, plus he wasn't that bad.

"I have." Oliver assured and nodded, a slightly joyful expression coming over his face.

The three of us, Oliver, Me, and Piko were planning a slumber party of a sort at my place. Miku and Rin would be out having a girls night, and it was the perfect opportunity. People called us 'The Shota Trio', Which I found a bit weird, until I took a closer look at the three of us... I didn't think Fukase would fit in very well with us, not that I figured he would care anyway.

Me and Oliver were both distracted from a crashing sound coming from the hall next to us. At the moment, we were at school talking about our plans.

I thought it was probably nothing like usual, but I took a peek just out of curiosity, Oliver joined me.

I heard him gasp at what we saw.

The purple haired Vocaloid, Gakupo had Fukase pinned to the lockers by his shoulder.

"What are you going to do, freak? Bite me?" Gakupo taunted, earning no response out of Fukase. He punched Fukase in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him and letting him sink to the floor.

"Nothing to say? Come on, circus monster, get up." He gave him a light kick in the side.

Oliver didn't hesitate anymore and he ran into view, standing in between Gakupo and Fukase and holding his arms out to give Gakupo no more target on Fukase.

I was simply speechless. For one, I wouldn't expect Fukase not to fight back, though I wouldn't blame him since it was Gakupo. Fear for Oliver overcame me as I watched him stare up at Gakupo defiantly.

"Leave him alone!" Oliver yelled without a hint of fear in his voice, despite the fact that he barely measured up to Gakupo in height, let alone strength.

A noise from Fukase made me bring my gaze to him.

He was softly laughing, covering his 'monster' eye with his palm. I swore that I could see tears running down his face as well. He didn't look alright.

Normal POV

Gakupo looked down at Oliver and scoffed. He considered giving Oliver what he deserved, but decided against it and walked off. Everyone in the entire school loved Oliver, it would send a bad message to break his adorable face.

Oliver waited until Gakupo had disappeared down the hall, before he turned around and looked down at the crumpled up Fukase on the floor.

"Oliver, Maybe you should-" Len attempted to suggest that Oliver leave Fukase alone for a while, But Oliver's attention was completely on Fukase.

"Fukase, are you alright...?" Oliver asked softly, worry laced in his voice.

Fukase looked up at Oliver, his monster eye still not visible, and his face was stained with tears, but he had on a smile still and nodded. Something about his smile didn't seem normal to Len, but Oliver either didn't care, or didn't notice. He hugged Fukase tightly.

"Im so sorry Gakupo did that to you... None of those things he said were true, you know that, right?" Oliver cupped Fukase's face lovingly with his hands.

"Of course.." Was all Fukase responded with, still smiling at Oliver.

If Len didn't know them, He would have sworn they were already a couple.
