"Let's break up."
What?
Len sat paralyzed in shock, the words Yuuma-senpai had just said to him bouncing around in his head, yet to be understood.
Len looked away and the words slowly repeated themselves in his head.
Let's…break…up…
Yuuma-senpai was ending their relationship?
Len felt a suffocating pressure on his chest.
Why?
That was a stupid question. It was because Senpai had grown tired of this. All of this.
Len gulped as his eyes began to water.
It was because Len was so weak.
He had been too vulnerable against a bunch of good-for-nothing idiots, and it ended up getting Senpai in trouble. Now who knows what was going to happen to Yuuma-senpai and it would be all Len's fault for letting himself get pushed around.
Every beat of Len's heart hurt.
With a croaky voice, Len said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Okay," continuing to stare at his hands that were in his lap.
A single tear dropped and landed on his right hand suddenly. He stared at it in surprise for a bit before closing his eyes in a failed attempt to stop the now gushing flow of tears.
"Len—" Yuuma-senpai started to say, but was interrupted but by a sob.
Len gasped slightly at the sound.
I'm crying… he managed to think, before he started to break down completely.
This was embarrassing.
But what was worse was the thought that Yuuma-senpai and him were no longer together.
Yuuma-senpai softly whispered Len's name and drew him close, hugging him to his chest.
Even as Len thought about how cruel it was to do this when they were breaking up, he held on to Yuuma-senpai's shirt tightly.
This was probably the last time he'd ever be this close to Senpai again.
Len thought about trying to change Yuuma-senpai's mind, but as much as it hurt to separate, it hurt more to think about facing rejection if he tried to prevent it.
"Len—" Yuuma-senpai began to say in a soft voice.
"I'm sorry…" Len whispered heatedly between sobs, "I'm so sorry…"
"I'm sorry—" Senpai began to say back.
"I'm so…weak…I'm sorry…"
"Len—"
Len tightened his grip on Yuuma-senpai's shirt and buried his face even further.
He didn't want to hear Yuuma-senpai say those horrible words again.
The words about how it was over.
"It's because I was weak…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" Len sobbed, his entire body trembling.
"Len!" Yuuma-senpai said heatedly, "I'm wrong! I'm sorry, because I am wrong!"
Len paused at the urgent tone in Senpai's voice.
Yuuma-senpai took the opportunity to continue talking, "That…that was so idiotic of me…"
Senpai pushed Len off his chest a bit and looked him in the eye.
"I am so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking; I'll never say that again. Len, I don't want to break up."
Senpai paused as Len froze, his mind reeling once again from what he had just heard.
"But…you just said…" Len looked up at Senpai, confusion evident in his face.
Yuuma buried his face in Len's neck, hugging him close once more.
"I was being an idiot to think we should ever break up. It's just that…to think that you were getting hurt, all because I did the wrong thing at the wrong time…It was killing me inside! I was going crazy thinking that because of me you were suffering," Senpai lifted his head to look Len in the eye, "I love you, Len," he said firmly, "I'll only ever want what's best for you."
The tears that had stopped began falling again as Len's emotions once again did a 180.
"Senpai," he moaned, his cheeks colored, as he hid is face in Yuuma-senpai's shirt.
"I love you," Yuuma-senpai said again.
"I love you too," Len said, "I love you more than anything…"
Yuuma-senpai stroked Len's cheek and brought his head up.
They let their lips meet in a soft kiss.
:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:
Time flew by after that incident.
Yuuma-senpai was reprimanded but given his good record prior, he didn't receive any more punishment than two week's worth of detention.
The school never really forgot about their relationship, but it stopped being the center of all attention. Even though Senpai would occasionally be angered by an insulting remark, the duo were able to tolerate most everything.
It was because they were together. As long as they were together, all would be fine.
The time before Senpai's graduation decreased at a rapid rate, and before he knew it, it was the last day of school.
Len had cried. Mostly because he wouldn't be able to see Senpai as often and was afraid that Senpai would forget him. But Yuuma had gently kissed away the tears, assuring him of the deep-rooted love he felt for his kouhai.
Also, the pair found out something interesting.
Apparently there had been a group of girls in school who were closet fujoshis.
One of the many notes regarding the couple Yuuma-senpai had seen passed between his classmates had actually said something along the lines of "Len-chan+Yuuma-kun=YAOI~!" with many consecutive hearts following it. There had been many others like it too.
As it turned out, the majority of the people, the females especially, who had initially 'gossiped' about Len and Yuuma-senpai had been fangirling.
Of course, not all were. For example that insolent girl that had slapped Yuuma, but it was a big enough chunk.
With a few firm, but gentle words from Yuuma the fujoshis had calmed down and had left them alone. Some even became good friends with them.
In the end, it wasn't perfect, but it was as damn close as it would be.
In truth, nothing really mattered to Len and Yuuma-senpai above one thing:
They were in love with each other.
So with every gentle touch and kiss and whispered professions of love was an underlying message.
No matter what happened to them, as long as they were together, in love, they would be happy.
And that was to stand as a universal law.
A/N: Woo hoo, this fic completed! Now don't get me wrong, there is going to be the extra I promised you. Speaking of said extra, here were the results:
4th Place: GakupoxBigAl (2 votes)
3rd Place: MikuoxMeito (4 votes)
2nd Place: KaitoxTed (5 votes)
1st Place: LenxYuuma (6 votes)
So the extra goes to…LenxYuuma! Yay! Don't lose all hope if the pairing you wanted didn't get the extra because I just might post other extras in the future involving the other pairings. But remember, if you want to do a separate MikuoxMeito fic (I already have a lot of ideas for it) please tell me. If at least 4 people tell me they want it, I will write it. Meanwhile, look forward to the LenxYuuma extra coming soon.
Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I wuv you sooo much~!
Byebye~~!
