"Mm…Len."

"Uh…Dude?"

Through the sleepy haze, I felt a nudge. I chose to ignore it.

"I…love you." I sighed. I dreamt of Len. Of holding him in my arms. I felt a solid kick to my back.

"Ow!" Startled, I sat up, rubbing my back. I looked around quickly, taking in my surroundings as my mind recalled yesterday at lightning speed. I looked up to see Gakupo standing over me, looking at me as if I had three heads. "What was that for?" I demanded.

"You…" He struggled to find the words. He pointed downwards instead of bothering to explain what was on his mind. I followed the direction he pointed in until I saw something that made my stomach drop. I felt my face heat up. I drew my legs to my chest to try to hide my, er, problem.

Gakupo cleared his throat. "Um…You talk in your sleep."

Gakupo and I were in the kitchen.

"Uh, it's not what you think?" I began lamely.

He cocked an eyebrow at me. "Yeah right." He scratched the back of his head. "So this is what you meant by your own troubles…"

I looked at the pattern of the linoleum floor, shame still coloring my face a shade of pink. I then looked up earnestly. "I couldn't tell you. Listen, you can't tell Miku." My voice was desperate but I didn't care. I was pretty sure Gakupo was creeped out by me already.

"Fine. It's none of my business anyway."

"Thanks…"

There was an awkward silence. I wondered if this would become the norm between Gakupo, Len and I.

"So…you and him?"

"Yeah…" I said uncomfortably.

"I never knew you were…uh…"

"I didn't either."

His expression changed. "Look, man, I'm sorry. If I had known, maybe I would skip brushing my hair one day or wear less trendy clothes. I must have been torturing you." He said with a smirk.

"Shut up." I said, punching him. Maybe he wasn't so disgusted by me after all. The air felt a little lighter, as it always does with Gakupo.

"Ouch. Heh, I'm only joking. So Len-"

"What are you guys talking about?" said a sleepy Len as he entered the kitchen. His blond hair was a bit disheveled and he was still in his pajamas. He took note of our normal attire. "Woah, how long did I sleep?"

"Not long." Gakupo said quickly. "We were thinking of going out to breakfast. Nothing good to eat around here anyway."

I was amazed at his quick lie. I nodded my head lamely, trying not to look at Len. That would only make me think of last night.

Gakupo noticed my hesitation with Len. "Actually, I have to stop at the convenience store before we go. I think I'll do that so Len can get ready." He smiled and left.

"Bye." Len called. "Sorry, I didn't know you guys were waiting for me." He said to me. When he looked up, he noticed that I no longer had the casual air that left the room with Gakupo. He blinked. "What happened?"

"Gakupo knows."

I could see Len's surprise. "How'd he find out?" was all he managed to say.

I expected the nervousness in his eyes, but it was a bit more dramatic than I thought it would be. Maybe he wants to be a secret more than I do? I thought.

"It was my fault. I, er…" I couldn't really say what happened, it was just too embarrassing. "I let it slip."

By the way Len looked at me I knew that he didn't believe that for a second. I guess I can only lie to Miku. I sighed.

"I talk in my sleep. I didn't even consider I might let something slip in front of Gakupo. I mean, I only found out recently that I have that habit." I said.

He bought that much. Len looked back up at me curiously. "What did you say?"

"I don't know, I was asleep." I said, trying to brush off the topic. I was sure my cheeks had not yet lost their color from the little incident earlier.

Seeming to note this, he took it as answer enough and grinned. "You dreamt about me?"

I huffed and ran my fingers through his hair before going to the living room. "Don't look at me with those innocent eyes of yours." I said.

Len caught up to me. "Wait, will he tell?"

"No. Gakupo's a really good friend."

"Oh..." he smiled.

"You should go get ready." I said.

"Okay…" On his was by, he hesitated before turning to me. On his tippy toes, he gave me a peck on the cheek before heading to the bathroom.

I smiled to myself.

Gakupo and I went at the diner breakfast like wolves. When did I get so hungry? Maybe all this stress lately is getting to me. I had ordered waffles à la mode. Len nibbled at his breakfast. When he noticed me watching him, he smiled at me. I smiled back and my phone rung.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, honey~" said Miku on the other line. I put down my fork.

"Good morning."

"Are you coming home soon? Once the girls go home, I'll be lonely. I miss you."

"Why do they need to go so soon? We're out to breakfast."

"Oh, are you? Did you already start?"

"Yeah, we're just about finished."

I hear a small huff on the other line. "Did you have fun?" she asked.

"Yeah, we're having fun." I said, knowing she'd frown now. "What about you?"

"Oh, we've had a blast. Just doing girly things, you know. What did you guys do?" she asked.

"We went to the movies." I said, giving a short answer. Gakupo and Len were looking at me and I felt like this phone call was getting to be too long. "I have to go now, the check's here." I lied.

"Oh, alright." She said. "Love you, Kaito."

"Bye." I said, trying to make it sound like I was in a rush. I knew she still caught that though.

"So she has no clue?" Gakupo asked, taking a sip from his soda.

"Well, we're still dating." I said. Though, honestly, she had more than a clue. I mean, I nearly died when she accused me the other night.

Len was poking the food on his plate. "Do you have to go soon?" he asked.

"It would be best…" I said. I didn't want Miku to have any more suspicion. I knew she would be keeping her eye on Len and me now that I made her that promise. She knew I had feelings for him and it was surprising enough that she allowed this little get together.

Len nodded and I paid for the check that now arrived.

When we returned to the house, Len and Gakupo came in for a little while before Gakupo offered to take the twins and Neru home. Luka said she had her own ride. There were the alrights and see-yous before the guests departed. I held Len's eyes for as long as possible in the precious time there was before he walked out the door.

"Just us." Miku said, embracing me.

"Yeah."

Unsure of what to do with myself, I picked a few scattered glasses and folded blankets left from the girls. Miku sat on the couch and watched me. I began to load the dishwasher in an attempt to avert her gaze.

"Do you need help?" she called in.

"No, I'm fine."

"Don't you want to ask me how my time was?"

"How was your time?" I said.

She sat on the counter next to me. "It was fun. We gossiped and painted our nails. Watched a chick flick and played with each other's hair. Girl stuff."

"Yeah, you said that earlier. I'm glad you had fun."

"What did you guys do after the movies?" she asked. "Did you stay up late?"

"Not too late. We just played video games, ate junk food. You know, boy stuff." I said with a chuckle.

I closed up the dishwasher and saw her staring at me. "What?" I questioned.

She drew me close with her hands behind my neck. She seemed to be inspecting me. I cocked an eyebrow at her. "Oh, nothing." She said, giving me a quick peck on my cheek. I seemed to have passed for now.
