A/N: This is the last in this series unless someone wants to pair up with me to continue it (if so, that person would be Mikuo and Rin), or unless I feel like writing this by myself. We'll see what happens.
Len woke up the next morning and felt himself snuggling against something warm and sweet smelling. He looked up to see Mikuo sleeping next to him and hugging him as if he were a huggable teddy bear.
Mikuo murmured softly in his sleep, hugging Len tight to his chest. The other's body heat made him cling tighter, unwilling to let go in his unconscious state.
Len smiled and kind of enjoyed being hugged and clung to. He rested his head on Mikuo's chest and hummed softly to himself, waiting for the older male to awaken.
Mikuo smiled sleepily, still in his dream land as he felt the other male return his embrace.
After waiting almost an hour, Len decided to try and wake Mikuo up. "Hey... Mikuo... Wake up..."
"Nuu..." Mikuo whined softly, cuddling the small blonde closer as he kept his eyes shut stubbornly tight.
Len giggled a bit. "Come ooonnn~! Wakey wakey!"
"Nyuuu...!" Mikuo whined again, but blinked awake this time. "... Tis bright..."
Len smiled. "Wake up or I'm gunna kiss you..." Len said in a teasing manner and poked Mikuo's side.
"I wouldn't... Mind that..." Mikuo mumbled, still half-asleep, and buried his face in Len's chest, cuddling him much like one would a teddy bear.
Len blushed slightly, hearing Mikuo say he wouldn't mind being kissed by him. "W-well okay..." Len tilted Mikuo's chin up to face him and kissed him softly on the lips. When he realized what he had just done, he quickly apologized and slapped his hand on his face. Why did he kiss him on the lips?! The cheek or forehead would have sufficed! Len felt really stupid at the moment.
Mikuo blinked, now wide awake, and stared at the small blonde for a moment, trying to process what happened. Had Len just... Kissed him? He thought it over for a moment, and turned bright red when he reached his conclusion. Waah! He had! Why had he kissed him?!
Len covered his face with a small pillow that was sitting beside him. Why had he done that?! Why was he a damn idiot?! This is why people say to think before you act! Now Mikuo probably thought he was some kind of weird psycho pervert or something.
"I... Um... Len-kun..?" Mikuo looked at the small blonde curiously, worried.
Len moved the pillow from his face slightly so he could look at Mikuo. "Y-yeah...?"
"Er... That is, um... Are you alright?" Mikuo tilted his head slightly, nervous. Had he done something to upset the boy? Was that why he was acting so strange?
"I-I'm fine..." Len smiled slightly, not able to hide the bright pink blush strewn across his face. "Really, I am... I'm totally fine..."
"Are you sure..?" Mikuo continued to watch him, far from convinced.
Len nodded. "Yea, I'm certain."
"Alright..." Mikuo sighed, still unconvinced, but didn't pry any further.
Len stared at Mikuo when he thought Mikuo wouldn't notice.
"What?" Mikuo tilted his head, curious by the other's stare.
"Er... N-nothing!" Len's face turned bright red and he got up. "I-I'll go see what Rin a-and Miku are doing!" Len ran out of the room, embarrassed that he had been caught staring at Mikuo and that he had kissed him.
Mikuo stared after the younger boy, confused and a little hurt by his actions. 'I guess I did something wrong after all... Damn...' He sighed quietly to the empty air, lying down again and covering his head with a pillow.
Instead of going to check on Miku and Rin like he had told Mikuo, Len instead went outside for some fresh air. He took a little stroll down the block, trying to clear his mind and just relax.
"Len~" Rin tackled the younger Kagamine from where she had been previously hiding in the bushes - reasons unknown. "What are you doing out here? It's dangerous for someone as cute as you to be out so late!"
Len squealed when Rin had tackled him. "It's morning! It's not late! I'm just taking a walk! Leave me alone, koala..."
"Oh... Eh, it's still dangerous." Rin pouted, crossing her arms. "What's wrong?"
Len shook his head. "Nothing is wrong. I just wanted to take a walk is all..."
"You're lying..." Rin grumbled, glaring at him.
"Nothing's wrong! N-Nothing at all!" Len said quickly, but started to feel crushed underneath his sister's glare. "I-I-I..." Len stuttered and ran away from the pressure he was being put under.
"Hey! Get back here, you!" Rin growled, running after her twin. "I demand you tell me what's wrong this instant!"
Len screamed and ran like his life depended on it. He ran and hid in some bushes when he knew his sister didn't see him.
"Len! Get out here this instant!" Rin screeched, looking around in irritation.
Len did no such thing and stayed in his very good hiding spot. He really didn't want to explain anything to his sister, who would eventually tell Miku, who would also tell EVERYONE ELSE.
"Len..." Rin paused, looking around quietly in a futile search for her brother. "Do you really have that little faith in me..?" She mumbled to the air, looking close to tears when the younger was nowhere in sight. "Fine, don't come out of hiding, see if I care either way..." She grumbled, running back to the Hatsune household.
Len sighed in relief when his sister finally left, but felt guilty after hearing what she had said. Was he a bad person to not tell his sister...?
Len arrived back at his own home later that day. He wondered if his sister was home or is she was still at the Hatsune household...
"Len!" Rin tackled the younger Kagamine the moment she burst into the room, hugging him tight. "I was worried! Where have you been?!"
"Woah, Rin! Calm down! I was out!" Len tried calming his sister down.
"Out?! Out where?!" Rin huffed, determined to find out the exact location her brother had been.
"Just... Out..." Len said, not exactly knowing where he was. "Just wandering around town..."
"... Humph." Rin grumbled, releasing the slightly taller Kagamine and crossing her arms.
"What? What'd I do?"
Rin ignored him, turning on her heel to storm into the kitchen.
Len watched Rin go and felt guilty for some reason. Then he looked down at the ground and went upstairs to his room, closing the door and laying on his bed without the lights on.
Rin mumbled quietly to herself, making a disaster of the kitchen as she almost tore the cupboards apart in an attempt to find what she needed, only to bang her head on a door when the phone rang. "Ow! Jesus Christ, who the hell is calling?!" She grumbled, snatching the phone up and answering. "What the hell do you w- Oh, Mikuo." she sighed, rubbing her head. "Yeah, yeah, he's here. Gimme a second." She held the phone away from her, placing her hand over it before screaming, "LEN!"
Len was startled at his sister's scream and fell off of the bed with a loud thud. "Ow!" Len got up and stomped down the stairs to the kitchen. "God dammit, Rin! You son of a- Who's on the phone?" Len asked and rubbed his sore nose.
"Your boyfriend..." She mumbled, shoving the phone in the other's hand before she returned to tearing apart the cupboards.
"Wuh...? Boyfriend?" The confused blonde put the phone to his ear and spoke into the receiver. "H-hello...?"
"Um, Len..?" Mikuo's confused voice sounded on the other line. "Is something wrong? Rin-chan seems... Er... More hot-tempered than normal. I can call back later, if you wish."
"No, it's fine. We can go meet up at the park in 5 minutes if you like? I just really wanna get out of the house right now..." Len whispered into the phone so Rin wouldn't hear him.
"Ah, sure, that'll work." Mikuo agreed.
"Okay, so... I'll see you there..." Len hung up without giving Mikuo a chance to say anything back. Then he quickly walked out the door, saying nothing to Rin.
"Eh? Where are you going?" Rin called after him, looking at him from the doorway.
"Out. I'll be back soon." Len said and jogged all the way to the park.
Mikuo blinked, looking up as Len jogged over. "Hey, everything alright?"
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine... Rin's just mad because I was out for a while and she didn't know where I was..." Len explained.
"Ohh, I see." Mikuo smiled, stretching. "She must worry about you a lot. Apparently she talked about you three-quarters of the time she was with Miku last night."
"Really?" Len asked, confused as to why Rin would do that.
Mikuo shrugged. "I dunno, that's what Miku said. She seemed pretty irritated about it, actually.
"Ohh... Okay then..." Len was still pretty confused but decided to get down to business. "So, why were you calling? What did you need?"
"Ah, yes, that..." Mikuo blinked, hesitating for a moment before sighing. "Hey, er, are you mad at me..?"
"No... Why would you ask that? I'm not mad at all..." Len stared at the male Hatsune with a confused expression.
"Ah, that's good... You just left so suddenly earlier, I wondered if maybe I had upset you in some way..." Mikuo shrugged, rubbing the back of his neck.
"No... Not at all..." Len said.
"Well... That's great!" Mikuo smiled weakly, nodding. He couldn't help but feel there was too much tension between them, and it was making him nervous.
Len looked down at the floor and twiddled his thumbs, feeling a bit nervous. He started remembering him kissing Mikuo earlier in the day and a slight blush came across his face at the thought.
"Ah, are you alright?" Mikuo instantly noticed the change in the other and looked at him worriedly.
"I-I-I..." Len stuttered, looking up at Mikuo and turning bright red. Len realized now that the reason he had kissed Mikuo was because... He was in love with him. He couldn't figure out any other explanation.
"You..?" Mikuo raised an eyebrow, worried.
"I-I love you..." Len murmured, barely audible to the elder male.
Mikuo blinked, momentarily stunned. He couldn't have heard that right. "Um... I'm sorry, can you please repeat that?"
"I LOVE YOU!" Len practically screamed and broke down into tears moments after confessing. Mikuo could never love him in that way. He was 'just a kid' to him probably. There's no way Mikuo would every feel the same way about him.
Mikuo jumped when the younger broke into tears, instantly panicking. "Waah, don't cry!" He wrapped his arms around the other in a tight hug, kissing his forehead gently. "I love you too..."
"N-no you don't... You're o-only saying that to get me to stop crying..." Len sniffled, trying to calm his sobs. "Even if you do l-love me, it's p-probably only as like a-a little brother or s-something..."
Mikuo frowned, tilting the younger's head up to place a gentle kiss on the other's lips. "Don't you remember what I told you when we first met? 'I'm in love with you.' Learning your true gender didn't change that..." He murmured quietly, brushing Len's tears away gently.
Len sniffled and stared at Mikuo in disbelief. "A-are you s-serious...?" Len couldn't believe it. He felt so happy that he started crying again, this time, with tears of joy.
Mikuo's eyes widened, slightly panicked when the other started crying again, and he hugged Len tighter.
Len giggled slightly when Mikuo tightened his grip around him. "I-I really love you Mikuo..." Len said softly and rested his head on Mikuo's chest.
"Heh... I love you too..." Mikuo murmured softly, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of Len's head.
When Len had finally stopped crying, he felt really sleepy. Crying really takes its toll on him, especially when he cries way too much, which he tends to overdue. He took in Mikuo's scent and hugged Mikuo tightly. He liked Mikuo's scent and the feeling of his warm arms wrapped around him. Len didn't know if he could stay awake much longer and started growing weak and limp in Mikuo's arms.
Mikuo blinked, momentarily concerned, before a soft smile took place on his lips. "How cute..." He scooped the younger into his arms bridal-style carefully, pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek before he started to walk back to the Kagamine household.
