Under The Snowdrift

I woke up from my slumber when I heard a ring of my doorbell downstairs. What time is it?

'10:00 am' I saw from my digital clock right beside my bed.

I overslept, oh well.

"Wait a minute!" I yelled out loud cringing at my kind of girly high pitched voice. Hopefully the person would hear it, and I'll guess it's Kaito.

I washed my face and did my usual routine at the bathroom except for bathing because I won't let my visitor wait for me. I combed my hair and didn't bother to change since I didn't changed my clothes yesterday, alright sue me for all you want, I'm hygienic but just not for today.

I went downstairs and yanked the door open right away.

"I knew it." I said and feigned sleepiness

"Aw, did you forgot?" Kaito replied grinning widely

"Nah, just overslept."

"That's odd.." Kaito replied with a pinch of curiosity,looks like the ice cream guy smelled something fishy.

"What happened to Miku by the way? I heard she was crying non-stop overnight." He asked and went inside my mansion/house like it was his, I didn't bothered though since it was really normal knowing that he is my best friend.

"I broke up with her yesterday." I said and clenched the door knob tightly, I don't like this feeling, the feeling of guilt. My face didn't formed a guilty look instead it was my old boring expression as always.

"W-What? Not cool dude, you do know I had a crush on her since we were young children playing around the hill." Nostalgia struck me like a lightning bolt, this is an unusual feeling...

"I didn't really meant to hurt her but I have no feelings towards her and besides, she's been acting like a bitch lately, not the Miku I used to know." I answered honestly and closed the door

"Well you do have a point but-" He stopped through what he was going to say,and I guess I know what it is.

"Nevermind, now help me or suffer the consequences." He ran upstairs to crash in my room

"What consequences?"

He stopped hopping at the stairs like a rabbit and frowned

"Uhh.. umm.... Or you'll be covered in ice cream! Aha!" He clapped for his 'astounding' threat but now I got the fish without any bait.

"Wouldn't that affect you?"

"Ha?" Question marks were appearing on top of his head while he froze, he defiantly looks like an idiot.

"Now, would you like your precious ice cream wasted by me?"

"No."

I rolled my eyes at his reaction knowing how stupid he is, he would have gotten my words right.... now.

"Ahh!" He exclaimed feeling proud of himself that he finally knew what I was saying

"You need another threat to beat me this time." I smirked and brushed my hair using my fingers

"Uhh...." After what it seems like 2 minutes he spoke up

"Ugh! Fine you win! That leaves you thirteen points and me... Still stuck with zero." He sadly accepted his defeat and I chuckled quietly, I eventually followed him up to my room and saw him eating his tub of vanilla ice cream.

"I thought I was supposed to teach you Math?" I asked while landing in my soft bed which is hypnotizing me to sleep.

"I want to finish this first."

"It's 10 in the morning." I said for the umpteenth time and sighed

He shrugged while I took my things and my glasses that I only use when I'm doing anything related to math since I write very small because I don't want to waste paper on it.

After he finished, I finally got to teach him everything he needs to know about Trigonometry.

"You do know you're a two years older than me and some of these haven't been taught in our class."

"Ehh, I always forgot these 'maths'." He said disgustingly like Math is a criminal that abused him for a very long time, and it is true. He's supposed to be a senior right now but because of math, he had to repeat his 1st year of highschool and I'm a sophomore, currently in highschool even though I could probably skip some years since I've already advanced through some levels but I'd like to stay 'normal'

"In exchange of your kindness for teaching me the worst subject, I'll treat you to the ice cream parlor." He proclaimed and knelt on his left knee and acted like he was going to ask me to marry him. I punched him lightly and held the door.

"Yeah sure, I'll just change so get out." I demanded while he did my order. I changed into a thick black t-shirt,sweatpants and a thick fur coat with my favorite yellow scarf that Kaito gave me for last year's Christmas, I grabbed my earmuffs and my wallet and I'm ready to go. I slammed the door and ran into the living room

"Ready?" He asked when I caught him watching the t.v, I nodded in return.

We headed out and walked on the icy cement floor whilst every house where covered with snow, just tremendous. A snowflake had landed right above my nose, I shook my head while the scarf covered the rest of my face.

"We're here!" He extended his arms in front of me to reveal the small shop, we went in and ordered our usual.

"Extra large vanilla and a banana parfait." He told Meiko who was working at the counter

"Ah- Why are you bozos here?" She asked and landed her hands on her hips

"Um, because we want ice cream?"

"You." I corrected him since I just tagged along for him not to be embarrassed ,again.

"At this state of weather?" She asked as she laid her eyes upon Kaito to look if he's not lying

"Yes." He managed to keep a straight face but I know he went here for Meiko... and the ice cream.

"Alright, that would be 8 dollars." She stated while Kaito looked for his wallet and stared at me blankly

I'm confused.

"Um Len?" He said softly

I rose my right eyebrow signalling him to continue

"Iforgotmywalletpleasedon'tkillme." he spoke really fast, I barely managed to hear it,but I'll have to thank my ears later.

"Stupid idiot." I sighed and gave her a 10 dollar bill, I got the change and sat on a chair near the window.

"Ehehehe, I'm sorry about that but I'll pay you back tomorrow, I promise!" He yelled excitedly

I nodded while Meiko gave us our orders, I took a bite on the banana and scooped my banana flavoured ice cream while tasting the exquisite contents, savoring every bite. When I finished I leaned back at the window to look at the slush descending from the above.

I've rested for a bit and I decided we go home. He agreed with me after he talked with Meiko and bid our goodbyes. I eventually got us a cab since I wasn't in the mood for walking for another kilometer ahead. The cab was really comfortable with the scent of pepermint which I rarely smell in a taxi, and it turns out the driver was a girl so it explained it very well. I was in the front sit while Kaito's in the back, I stared at window seeing the peaceful streets made me sleepy.

I guess a nap wouldn't hurt right? I closed my heavy eyelids slowly and did my daily hobby,sleep.

Cupcake: Yey! Another chapter that ends with Len sleeping. I published this first before "Cupid's Losers" since this would probably only contain 11 chapters or more.
