On the Other Side [Len x Oliver Fanfiction]

Chapter 14 - Miserable Mishap of Envy

~Len's POV~

I stood up and headed over to the door. "Rin should have a jar for this occasion.... A bit weird if you ask me...." I laughed awkwardly as I headed out the door and went searching for Rin. I felt a bit bad for leaving Oliver there, but dragging him along with me wouldn't be very nice, would it?

"Rin?" I called, running up the stairs and towards her room, knocking on the door.

"Yeah?" She called back, probably playing a game on her phone or something.

"Do you have that jar of Truth or Dare things from before?" I opened the door a bit, seeing that she was, in fact, playing on her phone. Bitch.

Rin looked up at me from where she was sitting on her bed. "Yeah, sure." She got up and rummaged around in her closet for a bit before handing me a small glass jar filled with folded paper.

"Thanks," I said, quickly leaving and closing the door before she could reply.

I hurried back downstairs to my room and opened the door.

...Why did this happen?!

I looked at Kaito in horror, who was on top of Oliver, who had his arms pinned above his head.

"What the hell, Kaito?!" I shouted angrily at him, pulling him off Oliver with one hand.

"L-Len?!" Kaito glanced up at me out of shock. "I wasn't doing anything, I swear!"

"Bullshit!" I spat, pushing him away. "Leave him alone, alright?!" I glared daggers at Kaito, who looked utterly miserable now. I didn't care though. It was his fault for doing whatever to Oliver that made me mad.

"Are you alright, Oliver?" I knelt down next to him and sat him up straight. He had tears formed in the corner of his eye, and his face was a bright red color. I held my hand out to him, gesturing for him to take it and stand up.

Oliver nodded slowly, raising a shaky hand to grip my own.

I smiled at him and pulled him up. "You good?"

"Y-yeah...." He looked away, pursing his lips slightly. "I-I'm fine...."

I nodded and turned my head to glare at Kaito again. "Kaito!" I shouted, making him flinched.

"Y-yes...?" He asked, cowering in fear. Heh. It felt good being higher up than he was for once.

"Go home!" I pointed a finger at him, then pointed at my bedroom door.

"W-what...?" Kaito asked slowly, glancing doubtfully at the door. "Y-you're kidding...."

"No, I'm not! You shouldn't be doing weird things to Oliver! Or anyone! Get out!" I hissed, taking a step closer to him.

He scooted backward and averted his eyes. "Fine," he mumbled angrily, standing up and heading out the door. "This wasn't even fun anyway."

I huffed softly as he left, gripping onto some strands of my hair and groaning loudly. "I'm sorry...." I sighed heavily, letting my arms fall to my side. "This is a shit sleepover, huh...?"

Rinto waved his arms rapidly, practically jumping over to Len. "No! Not at all! This sleepover is really fun! I swear!"

"Heh. Thanks Rinto, but I'm pretty sure you're just saying that to make me feel better...." I looked down, letting my bangs cover my face.

"No! I'm really not! It's fun! I promise!" Rinto shook me gently, trying to cheer me up, but it wasn't working.

"U-Um, L-Len...?"

I looked up quickly and saw Oliver fidgeting in place and poking his index fingers together.

"I-it's not bad.... I-I'm okay, really...a-and I'm having a l-lot of fun.... P-please don't feel bad...."

"But—" I started to talk, but Meito cut me off quickly, placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, don't feel down, alright? We're all your friends and just hanging out is fun." He flashed me a reassuring smile.

Luki stood up as well, pulling Mikuo up with him. "Same with us! We're totally fine with this, Len! It's awesome!"

Gumo jumped on top on my back, hugging me from behind. "Yeah, you're awesome! Don't let one simple mishap get you down!"

Gakupo smiled at me as well, crossing his arms. "We're here for you, Len. Always."

I teared up a bit, having to wipe at my eyes to keep the tears from spilling over. "G-guys...." My voice stuttered a bit, and that's when I let the tears fall. I cried quietly, all my friends surrounding me in a group hug.

How did it get like this...? Why did I have such great friends...? I don't deserve this....

I sniffled softly and looked up, a smile replacing the frown I had before. "Thank you guys...." Everyone nodded in sync, and I continued, "So...who wants to play Truth or Dare?"

A few laughs erupted from the group and they all nodded, a few people even saying, "Yeah!"

"Alright...!" I said, holding up the jar high in the air. "Let's begin!"

We all situated ourselves in a small circle, and I opened the jar, setting it in the middle of the circle.

"Alright," I said, taking a piece of paper from the jar. "I'll go first." I unfolded the paper, and read it aloud. "'Text one of your close friends that you...had sex just a few moments earlier'...?"

Luki and Gumo burst out laughing. "Do it!" They both shouted at me, getting up in my face.

"F-fine!" I stuttered, quickly taking out my phone. "Um...Miku...?" I shrugged and opened a new message with her. "'Hey, um.... I...kinda just had sex.... What do I do...???'"

"Lame!" Gumo shouted, booing me. I just ignored him and hit the send button.

Miku's reply was almost immediate. "Haha, funny Len. Quit playing Truth or Dare and actually get a real girlfriend. :D"

Adding the smilie face didn't make the message any less cold than it seemed. I rolled my eyes, deleting the conversation. "Who's next?"

"Oh, I am! I am!" Rinto raised his hand high in the air.

"Alright," I said, and he reached into the jar and unfolded the piece of paper he had grabbed.

"'Do something sexual to the person on your left'...?" He glanced at the person sitting on his left and frowned. "Why couldn't it have been my right?!" He practically shouted that, and held onto my arm. Of course I sat to the right of him.... He's obsessed, I swear....

"Jeez, just hurry up." I don't know why, but a small part of my brain was screaming at me to convince Rinto to pick a different dare and give his to someone else. I mean, it's just a kiss!

But why did it feel horrible to see Oliver get kissed by someone else...?
