Hours later, Kaito was wondering what happened to Len. He was lying on his and Len's bed, staring at the ceiling. "Is he still in the bathroom…?" Kaito got up and walked to the bathroom to go check. He opened the door and peeked his head in. Kaito saw Len sitting in the tub, asleep. He walked over to Len and looked down at him. He could see tears streaming down Len's face and heard him calling out his name.
"K-Kaito… Why…? Why would you…? D-do you… Love Miku…?" Len mumbled, crying from the nightmare he was having. "Don't… Don't leave me…"
Kaito reached out and tapped Len's shoulder. "Len… Wake up… You'll catch a cold…"
Len jolted awake and screamed. "KAITO!"
Kaito jumped in surprise. "Len! Len! I'm right here…"
"K-Kaito…?" Len looked up at Kaito and rubbed his eyes. "W-What are you…?"
"I was worried about you… And you were calling my name… Are you okay…?" Kaito asked.
"Y-Yeah…" Len stood and got out of the tub, then bent down to pull the plug so the water could drain.
Kaito stared at Len's slender, feminine figure. It was sexier than most women. Kaito's gaze went down to look at Len's… Shall we say, banana? A slight blush crept up on Kaito's face. He quickly looked away when Len looked up at him. "I-I'll just let you dress…"
"Okay… But… Kaito…?
"Yes?"
"I-I don't want to be here anymore… Can we please go home…?" Len asked innocently.
"Sure." Kaito smiled. "I'll go pack everything and we can leave when you're ready."
"Thank you… And Kaito?"
"Hmm?"
"I-I love you…" Len mumbled, causing Kaito to turn bright red as he walked out the door.
"I… Love you… Kaito…" Kaito heard Len murmur for the millionth time. Kaito tried to focus on the road, but every time he heard Len say something in his sleep, he couldn't help but glance at the small blonde.
They had already left the cabin hours ago, saying their sad goodbyes to family and friends, as well as gibing last glares to their rivals. Now Kaito knew why Len had gotten so emotional when Miku kissed him. "Len loves me…" Kaito said, parking the car in front of the house. "And… I think… I love you, too, Len…" Kaito looked at Len and leaned in to kiss him, until he was caught off guard by Len suddenly shouting 'I LOVE YOU, KAITO!' and jolting awake. Kaito quickly sat up straight and cleared his throat. "Er… We're home, Len."
"Oh, thank god…" Len said and got out of the car. He walked up to Kaito, who was already by the door- and waited for him to unlock it. When he did, Len rushed to his room, not saying a word to Kaito.
"Oh man…" Kaito said. "He's still mad about the kiss probably… I'll give him a while to cool off…"
~One Week Later~
Kaito knocked on Len's bedroom door. "Len? Come on… Please talk to me…" Kaito said but got no response from Len. Maybe he was still sleeping? Kaito doubted it. It was twelve in the afternoon. He's usually up by then. Kaito knocked again. "Leeeennnn…" Still no answer.
Kaito sighed. Len had been hiding in his room and avoiding Kaito for a week now. Kaito had to leave food at his door and walk away until Len opened the door to eat it. And when Christmas came, Kaito couldn't give his gift to Len properly. He had to leave it by Len's door, like his food. But today Len was going to spend the day with Kaito whether he liked it or not. It was Len's special day after all.
Kaito opened the door- which he knew was unlocked- and went to sit beside Len on the bed. Len just stared at him for a few minutes. "Here…" Len held out an ice cream keychain. "It was my Christmas gift to you… I guess I forgot…" Len said, sounding like there was no life in him.
"Th-thank you, Len…" Kaito took the mini gift from Len and looked at it, then at Len. "I'm really sorry, Len…"
"Well, kind of… You're mad because of the kiss with Miku, aren't you?" Len didn't respond. "I thought so… But Len, it's not what it looked like, I swear. She just jumped on me and kissed me. I didn't even know what was going on. I was half asleep! You gotta believe me, Len…"
"I believe you… That sounds like something she would do…" Len looked down at his hands as he spoke.
"Len, I can guarantee you that I have no interest in her at all." Kaito said, taking Len's small hands in his big ones.
Len looked up at Kaito, a hopeful glint in his eyes. "R-Really? You don't?"
"Of course not! Who wants someone like her when I can have someone like you?" Kaito smiled, causing a slight blush to come across Len's face.
"I-I love you, Kaito…" Len admitted shyly.
"I heard." Kaito was still smiling.
"Y-you did?! When?! Where?!" Len panicked slightly.
Kaito laughed a bit. "You told me in the bathroom before we left, remember?"
"I-I didn't think you heard that…"
"And you also said it about a million times in your sleep." Kaito saw Len's face darkening to a bright red color. "And you know what? I love you, too." Kaito leaned in and kissed Len.
"I-I'm glad…" Len smiled.
"Now!" Kaito got up and held his hand out to Len. "Shall we?"
"W-where are we going?" Len asked curiously.
"On a birthday date silly! Happy 15th birthday!" Kaito said in the liveliest tone he could muster.
"E-Eh?! How did you know?!" Len asked.
"Your sister told me."
"Oh… That makes sense." Len nodded and took Kaito's hand, letting him help him up off the bed.
"And here is your present! Close your eyes!" Len did as told and felt Kaito attaching something cold and slightly heavy to his wrist. "Now open!"
Len gasped when he saw what was on his wrist. It was a gold bracelet with mini ice cream and banana charms around it. "It's so pretty! This is the best gift I've ever gotten! Well, besides you of course. Thank you, Kaito!" Len tackled Kaito to the ground with a super bear hug. "I love you!" Len was so happy, he had begun crying.
Kaito smiled and hugged Len back. I'm glad you like it!"
Len giggled. "Ice cream to represent you and bananas to represent me."
"So you noticed that, huh?" Kaito laughed.
"Yeah! It's kind of like… Banana ice cream!"
"Which is your favorite flavor of ice cream, might I add."
"You know me so well." Len smiled and got up, helping Kaito up as well.
"May we go now?" Kaito asked. "We don't want to waste your special day!"
"No, of course not!" Len took Kaito's hand. "Let's go!"
