The world felt smaller, as though only Kelly, Len, and I lived in it. Meiko would go out with Luka, Rin would go out with Gumi. I know that Meiko was trying to win her heart, Rin had dropped interest in dating and wanted to go out shopping a lot, or simply walking.

When Rin and Gumi came home first, Len gave Kelly to those two. He was taking me out with him to some place, whatever that place was.

But I soon figured it was Master's home. It didn't end so well, he took me there for an upgrade. It led to an argument between Len and Master, and a physical fight. I pulled Len by his arm, rushing out the door. I felt his lips, his cheeks, and his nose. No broken bones, but he was bloodied and bruised.

"You didn't have to do that…" I held him in my arms. "I love you…" He mumbled, "I didn't want him to ignore you. I don't like him treating you like garbage. He said if you enjoyed rotting for three weeks in the basement… Out of all the places to hide, why there?"

No words came out, I silently waited for the bus to come by and take us back home. It's true, he does treat me like garbage… But I can't, I can't go against him. He made me, so he has to care for me, right?

My loved one took me to his bedroom, letting me rest on his bed. Kelly was still downstairs with Rin and Gumi, I could hear those two laughing and saying how cute our bird-daughter is.

"I will always love you, Len. No matter what, I'll always protect you." I smiled and fell asleep. When I woke up in the middle of the night, Len was still up, watching over Kelly sleeping in the small bed he made for her. "Mm, you're still up?"

"I'm not tired." He crawled onto his bed, hovering over me to give me a kiss on the forehead, then on the lips. "Could you kiss me more?" I shyly asked, he nodded and proceeded to.

The one thing I never got to tell Len was that his sarcastic remarks would upset me. It wasn't that he was being mean to me. I wasn't too happy about it… I can't really explain that well.

For the whole week I was back home, Len would take me out on walks with him from noon to evening. We'd go to the park or at the ice cream shop. Of course we had someone to watch over Kelly! Either Rin, Meiko, Luka, or Gumi would be there. I was a little worried with Luka, though. She first assumed that Kelly was supposed to be a baby chicken, she'd pretend she was going to eat her and Len and I would freak out, pleading that she shouldn't eat her.

As time had gone by, Len and I would talk more, be more open around each other, and tell one another what we liked. Our actions soon became erotic the closer we were. It wasn't too intimate. He may be my boyfriend, but he wasn't ready to go any further.

Every moment, every day, is something important to cherish. Kelly was learning words from us, call Len "Daddy" and I as "Papa." Len taught her those words, and who to say it to. She'd form her own sentences or place multiple words and create random sentences. It was really cute of her…

Was it on February? I don't remember. I believe it was before my birthday!


Len trailed behind me and we both sat down at the table in the porch. I smiled at him and he smiled back. "It's really nice out today, I love the breeze." I nodded in agreement, "I do, too."

That strawberry blond focused his eyes on me.

"Len Kagamine…" I stood up from the table, Len looked up at me in confusion.

"You mean the world to me. I love you so much." I shyly curled my lips into a smile, putting both my hands in the pockets of my sweater. "So… I have something to ask." I nearly fumbled.

"Will you marry me?"

I knelt down in front of him, opening up a small box.

He was surprised, unable to pick up any words. "I… I do!" He shouted, "I do!"

His left hand rested on the edge of the table, I picked it up and slid the ring on his finger.

From inside the house, I could hear Meiko, Rin, and Luka cheering.
