Chapter 4
Oliver ran upstairs, he planned to apologize to Len. This time, he promised himself to do it right. As he arrived in front of Len's room, Len opened the door and pulled him in, cornering him on the wall.
"What are you trying to play, Oliver?" Len stabbed Oliver with his gaze, making him shiver, "Are you trying to play with my feelings? FOUR YEARS I have waited to meet you. To be able to share these stories with you. To be able to share my life, my soul with you. To be able to love you again. And suddenly you just..." Len's words were piercing and full of emotion, he sounded devastated and angry at the same time. "Oliver... Ollie..." He lowered his head, making Oliver only see his bangs and part of his nose. Tears suddenly dropped from his covered face.
Len...! Len..! "Len!" Oliver hugged the other boy tightly, as tightly as he can. He cried, he was crestfallen because he never ever wanted Len, the person who has always been brave for him and protected him, to cry like this. "I love you Len, I do. I'm sorry for what I have done to you. I was overcome by a fear of something I don't even know. I'm sorry I couldn't fight it and I ended up making you like this instead" As Oliver spoke, tightening his embrace, he hoped that his true feelings would be delivered to Len. After some time, Len returned the hug but only for a moment.
"What is it about me that you're so scared of?" Len locked his eyes on Oliver's again, they looked sad but better than last time. "And don't even think about running away, I won't let you do that this time."
"Len... maybe...could I be scared of... your sudden drastic change?" Oliver replied, still half sobbing.
"My change? The only things that have changed are my voice, design, and age" Len's sad look changed to a confused look, which actually kind of relieved Oliver.
"You're...indeed really mature now" Oliver replied while trying to divert his eye to the side.
"You're...scared of my new age?" Len widen his eyes. He sighed and turned Oliver's face to face him, "Do you not love me for who I am? Let me ask you this, has my personality changed at all?" He stared warmly, waiting for an answer.
"I... don't think so" Oliver replied a bit hesitantly.
"Don't think so? You're not even sure are you? Well, it's because you haven't even given me the chance to talk and be close to you again!" Len squinted his eyes, his tone was firm. Oliver bawled and covered his face with his hands. Seeing this, the older boy moved Oliver's hands off of his face and landed them on his head as he kneel. "I'm still the little boy you remember, Ollie." Len let Oliver pat his head like a little child. Oliver suddenly remembered the past Len, he used to be only a bit taller than him. They would play and go on silly dates together. He remembered that Len has given him what he didn't know he needed, love. Oliver brushed Len's hair then cupped his face to look at him.
"Len, I'm sorry for ever doubting you. I love you" Oliver smiled with all his heart as he threw away all his fears. He didn't want that feeling to take over him and destroy the sun to his world. "I love you. I love you so much. I missed you so much" Oliver said every word sincerely.
Len embraced the smaller boy and kissed his lips, at last able to convey his longing for him. Oliver was surprised but soon closed his eye as he drowned in the blissful moment. The kiss was soft, it felt pure. Both have been waiting for each other for such a long time, and now, at last they can feel each other's presence once again. "That took you an awfully long time to remember my feelings toward you" Len broke the kiss and rested his forehead on Oliver's.
"I'm so sorry" The younger boy replied, still closing his eye. He can feel Len's hot breaths and his eyes looking at him. They stayed silent for a while until Len brushed Oliver's neck and shoulder in a stirring manner. The surprising touch made Oliver look at him.
"I really want you" Len's gaze as he said those words in his new husky, lower voice made Oliver's body tremble and his mind spinning. "Will you let me, baby?"
That baby attack always gets me, oh God! Oliver nodded as he waited for Len to make the first move. Len pushed Oliver off the wall and to the bed, which tripped the smaller boy before landing on the bed. "Ah!" Oliver let out a spontaneous gasp.
"Sorry, Ollie"
"No, it's okay," Oliver looked directly into Len's eyes, "you can go rough on me."
