On the Other Side [Len x Oliver Fanfiction]

Chapter 2 - The Idolization of Oliver

~Len's POV~

"Gaaah!" I shouted, ripping the cat ear headband off my head and tossing my banana staff to the side of my bed. "Why did Rin make me do this stupid stuff...?" I mumbled quietly, glaring down at my outfit. Rin was my older sister, and she always likes to make me so awkward things like dress up in strange outfits that show off my 'shotaness' as Rin stated. I like to think otherwise....

Huffing, I tossed the cat ear headband aside and sat down on my bed, turning on the TV that say in front of it. I flipped through a few channels before perking up at one. I didn't usually like anime, but there was this one anime that had interested me. It was called The Idolization of Oliver. I don't remember how I had found it, or why, but I had taken a liking to it and had begun watching it. There was a new episode on today, so I leaned back and relaxed.

The main character was a boy named Oliver, and it was kinda a school-based anime. I liked Oliver because he was adorable, and that's about it. He was pretty smart too. Probably smarter than me....

Ahem, but he was a bit strange. The writers haven't finalized anything, but there are many theories about why Oliver wears a bandage over his left eye. I like the theory about having heterochromia better than the fact that he stabbed his eye or something because it works better with the anime's plot. I don't think he would have any reason to stab his eye. He seems to have a good life, so that wouldn't make very much sense to me.

It had been halfway into the newest episode when I had realized that I was still in my 'uniform'. I quickly jumped up, not taking my eyes off the TV and changed into my normal clothing. It was a bit harder to see when I had to pull my shirt on over my head, but I managed.

This episode was kinda annoying to me. One of his classmates, which if I remember correctly, who was called SeeU confessed to him right at the end of the episode. What an annoying cliffhanger! What the hell am I supposed to do if Oliver accepts that confession? I mean, it's not like I would care or anything because he's a fictional character, but it would ruin the entire show! Of course he'll reject her, right?

Hopefully. I wouldn't want to have to quit watching my favorite anime just because an annoying little bug like that. That'd be such a waste. I sighed, walking out of my room and heading downstairs. I looked around and saw Rin on the computer, playing some sort of game.

Apparently, it was her idea to ask Kaito and Miku, and even some other friends of ours to dress up and play villain so that she could get a kick out of my reaction. Pretty sure that's lower than low. Well, not really. But you get the point.

I walked up to her and looked at the game she was playing. My face went pale. It wasn't a game at all. She had recorded me when I was playing along with her stupid game and was putting it on the Internet! I couldn't have that!

"Rin!" I shouted at her, reaching for the mouse. She slapped my hand away, grinning at me like an idiot.

"Oh? What's wrong Len?" I grit my teeth. She was playing the 'innocent' card and that wasn't gonna work.

"Don't upload that to the Internet! It could ruin my reputation!" I tried pushing her out of the way, but she held firm.

"Len, I would ask another question, but the only question available here would be: what reputation?" Rin's grin widened at that, and I could tell this was amusing her as well.

"That's totally unfair!" I shouted, unsure of anything else to say at this point. All I could do was shout and resist.

"Ah." Suddenly, her facial expression turned to normal and she stopped restraining me from getting to the computer, making me almost fall forward.

"It's up." She laughed softly, and I stood there, face pale. I shrunk down, knowing my life could've ended any time later, but of course, it had to be now.

"It's not that big of a deal," Rin said, patting my head. I just glared up at her.

"You're right," I spat, huffing and crossing my arms. "It's not a big deal. It's a huge deal! I'm gonna be humiliated on the Internet for millions of people to see! Hell, billions of people!"

Rin flinched back slightly, thinking I had so easily accepted this fate. Like I would give in so easily. "Alright, calm down. It's just one video."

"It's really more than that!" I hissed, narrowing my eyes at her as I tried to reach back over her again and delete the video. Already, just because my name was in the title, a few people had clicked on the video and saw my worst nightmare come to life.

"Come on, we'll get money if ads show up, so just let people watch it." Rin held me back again, seeming to have no problem doing so. Was I really that weak?!

"I don't want to humiliate myself just because of a few stupid dollars!" I was getting irritated, and started to pull her hair.

"Ack—! Hey! You little—! Get back here!" Before she could do anything, I had bolted, and she started to chase after me. Before long, we were both running down the road, laughing.

By the time we both were exhausted and out of breath, it was already getting dark.

"Shoot, we'd better get home. Mom'll be worried." Rin elbowed me in the side, snickering through pants.

I nodded, grinning as well. "Right." I rubbed gently where she elbowed me. "Race you?"

Rin nodded, and jumped up. "You're on, loser." Before I had a chance to get mad, she had already gotten a head start.

"Hey, no fair!" I jumped up as well and raced after her, completely forgetting about the video.

It's probably my fault anyway.
