Len ran. He had enough of this nonsense. Why was Mikuo thinking that way?
It then hit Len like a rocket. It was because Len tried to avoid him, wasn't it? Len ruffled his hair as he stopped at a stop light. "Ahhh.. I'm so stupid!" He said, guilting himself for all of this. But, he wasn't jsut mad because of the misunderstoodness, it was because of Luka. Luka and Mikuo dated awhile back, and for her just to interrupt him like that, and on top, asking to go to a party?
It pissed Len off.
Then light turned blue, saying "Walk." Len began to walk, and found that he was near a music and a fruit store. Len's stomach growled. "Oh yeah...Maybe a banana would be alright as a snack." He thought to himself, as he opened the door to the fruit store, hearing the bell from the door ring. He went up to the counter, and the man looked at him with such eyes. "U-Um..I want just a banana please.." He said, kind of worried why the man gave him such eyes. "Son, what are you wearing?" The man looked at Len's clothing. It really wasn't the style in japan, A sailor looking top with shorts, and leg warmers, and some earphones. It looked...Unusual. Of course, Len forgot to put on his regular clothes. "Um..It's my uniform.." He blushed from embarrasment. "Alright, then." The man said, sighing it off. He went to the self, and got a frsh banana, and handed it to Len. "50 cents please." He said. Len handed him the change, and walked out of the store. He sort of hung his head down, to show he was ashamed. Pass-byers stared Len off, cause they thought he looked unusual. Sometimes, he'd hear women or men ask to someone beside them, "Is that a girl?"
That made Len more embarrassed.
He ran into an alley, trying to hide from the whispers and wonders from the people of japan. Just then, he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He jumped, and quickly turned to see who it was. Mikuo.
"What are you doing, hiding in a dark alley?" Len looked at his toes, realising he hasn't even peeled his banana. "Um..I.." He said nervously. "Nevermind that." Mikuo said, picking up Len, carrying him like a Princess. "You somehow remind me of cinderella." Len blushed. "W-WHAT? Why're you even thinking such stuff like that?" He slapped Mikuo's laughing face. "I dunno. It's just...Ah nevermind." He smiled, as he started to walk on the sidewalk, with Len in his arms. They soon arrived at home, and Mikuo set Len down. Len wiped his clothes off, as he was looking at his clothes, blushing still. Mikuo didn't have to carry him like a princess, and he wanted Mikuo to know that. "We're you sad that you didn't fit in?" Mikuo said out of no where. "You really are an idiot." Len sighed. "Neh, can you finish what you were trying to tell me earlier?" "I already said forget it." "But I really wanted to hear it, and I.." "I forgot." "Don't lie, Len, I know you lie when you look away and I can see that you're looking awa-" Mikuo was interrupted by the embrace of Len. "Len..?" Mikuo said, alittle shocked. "I told you..That I forgot.." Mikuo chuckled some, and patted Len's head. "No, you didn't. Tell me." He smiled, looking down at Len, whose face was barried in his shirt. "I.." Len then pushed himself away from Mikuo, and held his hands against Mikuo's chest, as his eyes filled up with warm tears, that burned his eyes. "I like you..And you never seem to realise it, or you never seem to feel the same way towards me, which that's why I never said anything up 'till now.." He sobbed, hitting his fist against Mikou's chest. "Idiot..Moron..Baka..I hate you.." He choked on his words. Mikuo, still wide-eyed, snapped out of his trance, and looked down at Len once more. "I know.." Mikuo saided softly, then hugging Len. Len, who was still teared up, hugged back. They embraced for a few moments, and Len pulled away. "But you don't feel the same way, so.." Len sighed. Mikuo chuckled at the statement, and grabbed Len's arm. "You're the baka, baka." Mikuo smiled, then slowly making his way to Len's lips, until they finally touched. Len was surprised, this isn't a dream, is it?
