As soon as I got home, I ran to my room, crying. I slammed my door shot, and sank into my pillow. I hoped nobody would come to my room wondering what the noise was. I just wanted to be alone. I sobbed into my pillow, and finally cried myself to sleep. My dreams were drifting back and forth like an ocean wave. Sometimes it would be about Len, sometimes it would be about dancing leeks, sometimes it would be about nothing in particular.
I woke up feeling refreshed. I went downstairs to get some breakfast. I saw Kaito sitting at the table eating ice cream and a glass of milk. That guy loves dairy. Kaito is a 21 yr old with blue hair, blue eyes, and an appetite for ice cream. He is wearing a long white coat, with a thick blue trim, that shows off his belly button, and brown pants.
"Good morning, Mikuo!" he said, pausing from taking another bite of ice cream.
"Good morning, Kaito," I replied. I went to grab a box of leek cereal. My sister, Miku, who looks almost exactly like me except that she wears a skirt and has gargantuan pigtails, found it in some weird named country when she was on tour. We both are obsessed with leeks, kind of like Kaito is obsessed with ice cream.
I got milk out of the fridge and got a bowl from the cabinet. I made my breakfast and went to go sit on the couch, and watch TV. I flipped through my favorite channels, but nothing good was on. Finally, I went outside to get some fresh air. I decided to go back to the field, far away from the tree last night.
As I made my way across the field, I heard sobbing. I saw that it was coming from a scrunched up boy. As I walked closer, I saw that it was Len. I wanted to reach out and hug him, but after he took away my first kiss, all I could do was stare at him.
I contemplated on whether or not I should comfort him or not. Eventually, my conscience kicked in and I went over to talk to him. I didn't really know what to do after I reached him, so I just stared. He ended up seeing me, and crying harder. I could see that his eyes were red. He had probably been crying for a long time.
"What's the matter?" I said softly, about to cry myself.
"Wh-what I did to you last night! I'm so sorry! I knew that was your first kiss, but I was, I was drunk! And, don't say it's not my fault! I know it is! Just because your drunk doesn't mean you don't know what you're doing! It's b-because I-I really like you, Mikuo!" Len had shouted, staring at the ground then at me, his eyes forming new tears.
"What?" I said, it was all I could say. I had no idea he had ever had any feelings for me. At all. I mean, he dated my sister for a couple of weeks!
As if reading my mind, he said, "When I dated your sister it was only because she reminded me of you! Her laugh, your laugh. Your smile, her smile. They're so alike! But, you're so caring, and soft, and cute! I just couldn't help myself when I saw you lying down like that! I just wanted to protect you from danger forever! To keep you smiling! All I was going to do was hug you, but one thing led to another."
At this point, he had been on his knees holding my hands, crying. I couldn't stand this anymore. I mean, I just realized that I do love him. I love how he gets so embarrassed when Rin gets sugar high, and blurts out his secrets. I love how he eats the bananas, which he holds so dear to his heart. Actually, when we were little, he vowed to marry Princess Anna Banana, (who was a banana wrapped in cloth.) I just love HIM!
I knelt down and hugged him. It was all I could do to not cry myself. I leaned into his hear and gently whispered, "I love you, too."
It was rather easy to write this, though. Once I started, I dindn't stop. All the words flowed from my mind to my fingers, to the keyboard, and onto the screen There will be ONE more, so I hope I don't keep you waiting for the next one!
