Damn internet was turned off this week, but I'll make that up to you guys. Here's chapter Four! Also, I'm still getting over the shock of finding my pet frog in my room this morning… He lives in a tank in the lounge and travelled more than 5 meters – past a cat and under a door to get to my room. Scared the hell out of me!

Chapter Four

Len pulled his phone from his pocket to glance at the display and check the time. It was still only ten to four. He sighed and shoved it back into his pocket. He leant against the chain link fence to get more comfortable.

It was that day during class Piko had asked him out to go see a movie with her. He was so pleased and stunned she had asked him, he stuttered his reply. She chuckled and told him he was acting so cute. This made him blush so red; he thought his head would explode. He ignored his sister and her friends, who were giggling and gossiping amongst themselves.

"Sweet! I'll meet you outside school at 4. I have singing practice after school," she explained, typing in something on her fancy cell phone. Len couldn't say anything more, so he just nodded dumbly.

Now he stood in the designated area, nervously waiting for her return. He wished he had asked to come listen to her sing, but the thought had only accrued to him as he made his way beyond the school gates. He wondered if they could sing a song together one day. He already had one in mind.

Humming the first few notes of Magnet, he felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw he had received a text message from his sister. He sighed in disbelief and opened the message. He had only just said goodbye to her as she walked home with Gumi and Miku. What could she possibly want to tell him already?

'Have fun on your date, Len-kun 3…' it read. He scowled and deleted it. What the hell was that supposed to mean?

"You shouldn't frown like that… You'll get wrinkles," a soft voice commented from beside him. He started and looked up, quickly disposing his cell phone back into his pocket. He grinned up at Piko, who was leaning on the fence beside him.

"Sorry… Rin was…" he began, but found he couldn't say anything further. He was becoming lost in Piko's eyes once again. He realized he was staring and blinked, looking away.

"I guess sisters can be like that," Piko said. She smiled warmly and reached out, taking Len's hand into hers. "Shall we go?"

Len was blushing as he was led by the hand down the street and into town. Piko smiled as she talked, telling him about all sorts of things. She talked about her dad and how they moved because he got a huge promotion at work. She told him about her old school and her old friends who email her on a regular basis. He listened to her and took in her mannerisms, her gestures, her facial expressions and everything about her. He had never felt this way before for anyone. He just wanted to listen to her talk all day long and be there for her.

One thing bothered him slightly though. He had noticed how girls around his age were beginning to develop, especially since Rin went out bra shopping with their mother. He didn't want to seem rude or perverted, but he wondered where Piko's breasts were. He kept peering from the corner of his eyes at her chest, trying to see some sort of bump there but couldn't see any sign she even had boobs. He didn't want to bring his concerns up, so he tried to ignore it.

They arrived at the smallish movie theatre at quarter past four, leaving them with only one choice of movie they could see. It was a love story, based on Len's favourite song. He was quite pleased that they could see it, but Piko seemed to be in two minds about it. She explained how she had come to dislike the song after her old singing coach made her sing it in two voices.

"Two voices?" Len questioned.

"I can sing in two pitches. I'm sure I told you," she replied matter-of-factly. Len whistled lowly and again felt jealous. He was terrible at singing in a higher pitch. That's where his twin came in.

"I could show you one day," Piko said, making Len go quiet and grin. They entered the line for the movie and Len paid for the tickets. Piko seemed to dislike being waited on, so she bought the food. Len was going to argue, but she insisted.

"I have a part time job, so I can afford it more than you," she reminded him in so much of an abrupt manner; he was stung by her words.

"I could get a job if I wanted to," he sulked. Seeing his distress at her words, she chuckled and squeezed his hand she still was holding.

"Sorry if that was a bit abrupt. I can be like that," she apologised, leading him into the cinema. He was still frowning, so she pecked him on his cheek. That brought him back to grinning.

The movie finished later than they both expected and when they stepped outside of the theatre, it was dark. Len shuddered in the brisk night air. He hadn't thought to bring a jacket. Piko, who seemed to always be appropriately dressed for any situation, surveyed him. She took off her own jacket and draped over his shoulders, hugging him from behind to wrap it around him.

He opened his mouth to protest, thinking it was strange for a girl to do that for a guy, but shut it close in shock. His eyes were wide as he turned around. Piko saw the expression on his face and asked him what was wrong.

"What... What was that?" he croaked, his heart beating faster than usual. He was sure he felt something poking at his behind as Piko hugged him.

She blushed. "What... Do you mean?"

"Please say you have something in your pocket," he begged her, feeling realisation crash hard down on him. "You... You're a dude... Aren't you?"

Piko nodded. "I told you last night... You didn't really think I was a girl... Did you?" he asked Len sadly.

Len didn't say anything. He was feeling a whole mixture of emotions; everything ranging from disappointment, shame to anger. How could Piko be a boy? He had been so sure that "he" had been a "she". If he was actually a boy, how come no one told him? All those feelings he had felt for him when he was a "girl", did that make him gay? He felt so confused by all these questions running through his mind. He felt tears falling and he sniffed, wiping them away.

Piko went to comfort him, looking worried. "I'm sorry, I guess... I really thought you were into boys..." he whispered to him.

Len shrugged him off, making the jacket fall to the ground. He glared at Piko, blaming him for the confusion he was feeling.

"Get away from me you fucking fag," Len swore. When he saw Piko's face fall, it almost broke his heart. He could not bear the pain any longer and ran, sprinting off into the night. He ran despite the tears that ran freely down his face and the crushing pain he felt in his heart.

Oh, Len... Len... Len *Shakes head sadly* You stupid kid... Don't worry, next chapter everything will be ok. And I will be writing a yaoi sex scene for these two as a bonus story.
