"What? So now you have Gakupo living under your roof?" Rinto tried not to laugh but he laughed in the end, annoying the already frustrated Len. "And he kicked you out if your own bed?! You two really are getting it on!"
"Shut up! We did not have sex or did anything sexual!"
"Boo! There's no actions"
"Why would you want there to be actions?! Like hell I would want to do anything sexual with him!"
"You'll understand when you start taking showers with him!"
"Geez, you piss me off everytime you speak!"
"Thats my job. I am just very good at it!"
"Yes! I can see that!"
~!~
On the other side of the school ground, Luki and Gakupo were discussing something else...
"Eh? You kicked him off the bed?"
"Yeah." Gakupo tried not to blush but he failed to mask it when he remember that warm feeling when he found himself hugging Len like a teddy bear.
"That feeling was strange. . . but comforting. . . ."
"HOLY SHIT! YOU ARE IN LO-"
"Don't say it."
"Why not? Its a good thing?"
"No its not!" Gakupo shouted." IT IS BAD!"
"Why? Love is a wonderful feeling! Like floating up the clouds, the comforting breeze that blows through your hair, the melty lukewarm feeling in the heart... Thats what I feel everytime Rinto and I make love!" Luki showed a V-sign to the confused Gakupo.
"I don't want those feelings for Len"
"Why not?"
"Because... He is a moron! YEAH! AN IRRITATING BANANA LIKE RETARD!"
"Can bananas be retarded?"
"SHUT UP! YOU KNOW I AM TALKING ABOUT HIS HAIR!"
"WOW! You actually take in such details of him... Don't those hair look good? I bet it feels good to ruffle it"
"You are not helping at all"
"Sorry I am not good at my job… So how long will you be staying at his place?"
"Fuck knows… I just hope Mom will come back quickly"
Another example of Life is a bitch? Have you ever wished for something so hard? But instead of getting what you wanted you get the opposite thing instead? Gakupo's experiencing that feeling right now...
"Why? " How many weeks have passed ever since he got here?! Even Neru has learnt to speak Len's name off by heart! "Mom," he couldn't believe his mother is extended her stay in a foreign country all because some business partner still want more time before signing the fucking contract. It was a good thing to be very careful but Gakupo didn't like it… not one bit.
"Gakupo, are you fine with sleeping on your own yet?! Most of all, are you going home yet?!" Len was facing not a new dilemma; Gakupo is still sleeping in his bed and not going home. "I don't know" Gakupo sat on the sofa beside Len and he let out a heavy sigh. "I feel lonely…"
". . . ." Have Len heard Gakupo say these words before?
"I feel lonely"
Young Gakupo's mother was a bit late on picking up her own son and the result of that was a crying young boy.
"Mom"
"Gaku"
Len forgot about his Nintendo advance and went over to pat Gakupo's head…
"Len?!"
"LEN?! What are you… doing?"
Len have not realized he had unconsciously pat Gakupo's head. Just like when they were younger. It took him a while to realize what the fuck is he doing.
"GAH?! WHAT THE HELL?!"
"Len?"
"What? I didn't mean to ruin your salon smoothened hair okay?"
"Thank you"
"EH?!" Len was surprised to see not a smirk or a cocky look but an appreciative smile.
Len doesn't know why but he blushed just seeing that smile.
"That actually felt comforting"
"Ah..." Now it all felt awkward for Len. He mentally screamed at himself and asking why on earth did he touched Gakupo. The action was already done and it wasn't like a computer where you can 'UNDO' the action.
"I feel much better"
"Uh… You are welcome?" He honestly does not know what to say…
"You want to do something?"
"Like what?"
"Turn on the PS3?"
"What game do you want to play?"
"One that can have a player 2 joining in"
"Okay."
Len wondered why their conversation sounded like a tennis match…
~!~
Len was actually having fun with Gakupo; he can't deny Gakupo's a good gamer.
"Oh no!" Len have lost again. "How on earth did you do that?"
"If you let the blue bar fill up to red, you can unleash a special combo"
"Eh? I can't do them properly"
"You just need to remember the right buttons for it"
"OH" Len didn't notice he was actually learning from Gakupo.
"Okay, see if you can beat me this time!"
"You're on"
~!~
After a long time of playing different video games, Len have entrusted Gakupo with a game that he has been trying to beat for a long time but never succeeded because the boss was very hard to beat. This was Gakupo's third attempt and he was getting closer and closer to beat the boss with little HP left.
"OH MY GOD… Don't you die! " Len peeked through his fingers unable and wanting to watch the finale.
"I'm going to kill that son of a bitch!" After smashing a couple of buttons, Gakupo and Len watched their macho sword wielding character slay the final boss.
"Yes! TAKE THAT!" Gakupo and Len jumped on the sofa breaking a couple of springs but they didn't care because they were so happy.
"Gakupo, you did it! Now we can see the final cut scene! I heard it was touching!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
And the scene was touching… for Len anyway. Noticing the honey blonde sobbing, Gakupo reached for a box of tissues and handed it to him.
"It is touching but I'd never thought you'd cry over it"
"Shut up and let me cry..."
"Sure thing…. So do I get a reward for being a big help?"
"HUH? You were expecting something?"
"Well this world goes around"
"hmmm… I will cook something for you to eat?"
"HOLY SHIT! You can cook without destroying the kitchen?" Gakupo laughed making Len pout.
"Hey! I can cook! I'll show you!"
"What are you going to show me? Making a microwave explode?"
"That does it! You are going to help me cook!"
"But I don't cook"
"You can't… But that doesn't mean you can't help me prepare right?"
"You are a devil"
"I am just good at being one"
In the end Gakupo helped chop the onions up; Len is planning to make a beef curry and rice. He found it hard to chop them because it was making him cry and it didn't help at all when Len turned on some emotional soundtrack from some anime he has been keeping watching of.
"WILL YOU STOP THAT?!"
"What?! It's funny!"
