A/N: A b-day chapter to Ham (hamxham). Happy birthday! Hope ya have a good one, Ham! /o/ Don't do drugs or have sex, okay? LOL JK.
Haha, my English teacher kept warning us that on Fridays.
Ham likes pandas, so this chapter is about pandas, lol.
Eight: I will not drink coffee with a panda.
Len had a soft-spot for pandas.
Whenever he went to the zoo, he would linger by the panda exhibit and speak lovingly to them.
It was a strange sight, but he didn't notice the dirty stares that he received. Len only reluctantly left the exhibit when someone had to drag him by the ear. He flailed wildly to be released, but the pressure point on his ear was squeezed tighter.
He preferred the phrase, 'When a panda flies' instead of 'When a pig flies'. It was more original, he thought.
Len tried to hide his love for pandas from the others in the house, but they found out the day Miku was doing laundry day. She raided his closet, a grim scowl was replaced with a mischievous one when she came across Len's collection of pandas. She hollered for the others, announcing to everyone of his panda bobble head, panda plushy, panda pillow, and panda t-shirts. The others were shocked, but recovered and started to laugh hysterically.
But no one had manipulated him yet. Someone had realized that it would be easy; it would be funny.
Len grumbled to himself, not amused with how this day was going. The television showed nothing that he was interested in, and Miku hogged the computer. His second life was always on the internet; chatting with friends, looking stuff up, buying more panda collectables… The others were no where to be seen.
Ding dong…
"Len!" Miku shrieked at him. "Get the door!"
He was in no mood to argue back. He couldn't win anyways. Twisting to doorknob with all his might, he threw it back, it slammed at the wall. But he didn't care.
"WHAT?" Len said, not bothering to look up at the guest.
Silence.
He looked up, his irritable scowl fell back into a hesitant, surprised smile. "A-A panda?"
The panda nodded at him. Rummaging into the bush besides the porch, it pulled out a sign and pen. On the sign said, 'Coffee?'
His brows knitted together in confusion. "You want to go out for some coffee?"
It hastily nodded again.
Len was cheap, he didn't want to waste his money on irrelevant things, such as taking Rin out for an ice cream when she begged him. But reluctantly did in the end.
This time, it didn't take him moments to think up a reply, even if it was only a person in a panda suit. Len twisted his lips into a lop-sided grin, a strange sight, and shouted back at Miku, "I'm going out on a date!"
He slammed the door shut, unaware of the older teen frozen in front of the monitor.
"Len has a date?" Her eyes grew wider. She recovered and said with a grin, "Aw, lil' Len is grown up! I gotta see this." Miku scattered to her room to change out of her pajamas and chase after the boy.
...
"Uh… What kind of coffee, sir?" The boy, who was taking orders, looked uncertain, staring at the panda occasionally, because in his mind he was saying, 'What the fuck' over and over again.
"Two Turtle Moca, please," Len said, handed him a ten dollar bill. He awaited his change.
The boy said for him to please wait for his order. Len pointed at the chairs by the fireplace, "Go save us seats."
The panda obediently went to where he said, not noticing the dirty stares. It didn't hear the whispers from behind the fireplace.
He arrived soon after with the two drinks. The panda nodded, and Len gave him a grin. Sitting in awkward silence, the two sipped their drink in quiet. Len continuously to smile and stare at it. If the panda could (or would) talk, it would murmur how creepy he was being.
"Hey, Miku," Gumi whispered, lightly nudging the older teen. They were both hiding behind the fireplace.
"Yeah?"
"What kinda date is this?"
"The hell I would know," she muttered. The two continued to send them disgusted glares.
Gumi pointed at the panda. "I bet it's Mikuo in there."
"Whaaaat? No, man. I bet it's Rin in there."
"No, no, no," she argued back, "didn't you see how Mikuo was sucking up and being nice to Len? I mean, he said," Gumi cleared her throat, trying to mimic his voice, 'Yo, Len. Sup. Wanna hang out one time?'"
"That doesn't prove anything!" Miku shouted, but then realized her mistake and lowered her voice. "You saw how Rin stared at Len. There were sparkles in her eyes."
"Mikuo!"
"Rin!"
"MIKUO!"
"RIN!"
"What about us?" A somewhat feminine voice came from behind. Shuffling was heard as well.
"NOT NOW," they both screamed, ignoring that the owner of the names were behind them.
"You know what?" Miku started, red in the face.
"What?"
"Let's go find out."
"But…" Gumi said, uncertain, "it's his first date."
"NO FIRST DATE IS LIKE THAT."
"But-"
"Do you wanna find out or not?"
She hastily said, "Yes," adding in, "You're so blunt, Miku."
"I know," she grinned ear to ear.
Miku sped walked towards the panda, hovering over it like, a UFO. Gumi braced herself to watch from behind, not wanting to upset the now furious Len (as if she hadn't pissed him off yet).
Grabbing the head of the panda suit, she ignored the muffled screams under and yanked it off. Miku had pulled out some strands of hair, for her fingers had dug into their scalp. "Whoops," she muttered with a grin.
"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Len angrily slammed the table, getting everyone's attention, not that Miku hadn't done so. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?"
Miku stared at the figure without the panda head. Dropping said head to the floor, she pouted when she saw that the figure was still unrecognizable. They slid lower into the suit.
"ONLY RIN WOULD DO THAT," she announced loudly, pointing and half spun around to face Gumi.
"Excuse me!" Said girl called out. Miku and Gumi stared at her in surprise, their lips parted, but no words were heard. "I'm right here."
Gumi grinned. "THEN IT'S MIKUO!"
"Mikuo's over there," Rin pointed at the cashier where Mikuo lounged around. The same expression was on their face.
Catching their attention, Mikuo saluted to them with a, "Yo!"
"B-B-But…" Gumi began.
Miku finished her sentence, "Then who's in that panda suit?"
They all came closer to the mysterious head, peering to the side with narrowed eyes. The bottom half of the panda suit slid downward, revealing purple hair, and a grin that widened by the moment; a face that would scare children and 'lure' in anger parents. It was Gakupo.
"THE HELL?"
Len was no longer in love with pandas after the freakish encounter. He took Mikuo's offer to help calm his fear.
A/N: Sorry this wasn't funny, just random & fail with many mistakes. I rushed this, 'cause my laptop kept on crashing, and I was freaking out. I'm still freaking out rn, lol.
