13. Confused
Len anxiously paces his living room, his head in a whirl. He'd just gotten the strangest call from his friend/crush, Rin, and it left him feeling dazed and utterly confused. Never before had she shown any kind of romantic interest in him (sadly), but today that had apparently changed.
Just earlier, he'd been reading his favorite manga series when she'd called. He'd picked up instantly, and let out a rushed-sounding "Hello?"
"Len-" Her voice was breaking up, and there was something incredibly loud in the background, so he had some issues understanding her. However, he got the gist, and it left his heart in his feet. "I'm coming- kiss you- kiss you again-" Then the call abruptly ended, leaving a very startled and red Len to ponder this sudden change of heart.
Suddenly there's a fierce pounding on the front door, and he gulps, suddenly nervous and unsure. Is she really going to kiss him? Is his dream finally going to come true? Could this really be happening?
He hesitantly wanders to the door and pulls it open, revealing a very cute blonde girl clothed in a light blue sundress. "Ah, R-Rin, um…" He stutters, turning bright red within seconds.
He's completely taken off guard when the girl pulls back her slim hand and decks him in the cheek, sending him sprawling to the floor clutching his face. Len may've forgot to mention she has the temper of an enraged bull.
"You idiot!" She huffs at him. "I expected you to be prepared for that!"
"W-What the hell, Rin? What was that for?!" He says with bewilderment, more than confused now.
"I told you over the phone I was going to come here to kill you for letting slip to Miku I had a crush on Luki!" Rin says, her arms crossed. "How did you not understand that, stupid?"
Len pauses before his head droops into his chest.
Oh.
He lets out a half-relieved chuckle. "Ah, I- I see." Len rubs his throbbing cheek and grins goofily. "I thought you said you were going to kiss me, haha. Silly, right?" He laughs.
The girl lets out a strange growl, and he realizes what he said too late. Her ocean-blue eyes turn dark, as do her cheeks.
"You actually thought I said something like that?"
Needless to say, he sported several lumps on his head for the next couple days.
