...H-huh?

Did I just confess to him when I was yelling at him?

But wait... One other thing...

Did he just tell me that he liked me too?

I was seriously at a loss for words. Wh... what was gonna happen next? Is this it? Is it just 'apparently I just said I like you' 'don't worry 'bout it I like you too'?

But no, I knew. I knew that it was not staying like that. "You're so cute." He said, breaking the silence. I looked up at him, and I couldn't tell if he was smirking or smiling. "The way you were yelling at yourself... have you really been thinking about me all night?"

"Wh-! No! I-It's not like that!" I yelled up at him, punching him in the stomach like a little kid. But while I was acting like a five year old, Dell had put his arms around me and pulled me closer to him, causing my face to get buried into his shirt.

"Seriously, you're so cute." said the Voyakiloid. Since my nose was buried in his shirt, I got a good whiff of what smelled like cigarette smoke.

"Dell..." I began, looking up at him.

"Hm?"

"Do you smoke?" Dell looked as if he didn't expect this question. (Which I don't really get, come on, I'm practically a smoker myself just by smelling this stuff.)

"Yes... does that bother you?"

"Of course it does! Most people die when they smoke, at least, that's what I saw on TV, and I don't want you to die!" Dell stared down at me for a couple of seconds, before he bent down and ruffled my hair.

"Then I'll stop." My eyes widened.

"What...? But, I think that's easier said than done..." This caused him to smile and laugh a bit.

"No, I don't need to smoke anymore. Do you wanna know why?" I sighed.

"Why?"

"Because. You're my new drug."

I don't necessarily know why, but this caused me to make a weird noise and turn redder. "Um... How long have you felt this way about me...?"

"When I first bumped into you." Really? But that was only a couple days ago... Man, he works fast. (But I guess I work pretty fast too, considering the fact I told him I like him despite meeting him less than a week ago.)

"Another thing I want to know... did you bump into me on purpose?"

"The first time, no. But all the other times, I guess you could say that, yeah. I did it because of the same reason I kept on staring at you." I was a bit... confused now.

"And what's that?"

"Because I wanted to at least get some interaction with you, since we've never really talked much." Without saying anything more, I stepped back a few inches and signaled him to kneel down. Luckily, Dell didn't question me about it, and he just did what I told him to do. It took me quite a long time to do what I wanted to do, but I hesitantly came forward and gave him a kiss, pulling away almost instantly. There was a silence that made me feel nervous, because I wasn't sure if he even wanted me to do that.

"Th-that's for caring about me so much." I told him, in a rather embarrassed voice. "I've never really kissed anybody on my free will, so... you should feel lucky." A sudden grin came to his face and, without warning, pulled me into a hug.

"I'll say it again, you're so cute!"

When I woke up the next morning, a voice greeted me cheerfully. "Good morning, Len~ Did you sleep well?" The person to whom the voice belonged to came and kissed me on the cheek, and I turned to see Rin standing there, smiling down at me. I sat up and smiled. "Yeah, I di-"

Wait.

Crap.

In all the events of yesterday, somehow, I had completely forgotten about Rin and how I was still in a relationship with her when, at the same time, I was just beginning my relationship with Dell.

"Len? Is something bothering you?" She asked, worry creeping into her voice. I laughed nervously.

"No, um, I just woke up with a bad stomach ache. I'll be fine though, lemme just go eat something and I'll be fine in a couple of minutes..." This excuse was made up at the top of my head, and I ignored Rin's 'Take some medicine!' and just hurried out of the room. Dang it, what am I going to do now? If I break up with Rin, she'll claw out both my eyes and Dell's. But I can't let this go on forever, because if Dell finds out, he'll be upset with me, and if Rin finds out, she'll be even more upset. If only Rin could like somebody else and move on from me, that would be great, and I wouldn't have any problems. But the thing is, Rin's super attached to me and she'll beat anybody else up, even if they just look her in the eye. She's like an animal; if you look her in the eye, you're asking for trouble.

So, while I was still trying to clear my head, I head downstairs to go eat something, because I'd be lying if I came back after a couple minutes without food in my stomach.
