Len

When I woke up, I felt oddly happy. I immediately smiled and kept out of bed. I turned to Madison, who was still sleeping and did something funny.

"Boop." I poked her nose and her eyes opened."Do you feel better?" She asked."Yeah. Thanks, you know, for yesterday. I feel like my old self again, happy, carefree and I'm not scared anymore. Thank you."

"Anything for perfect blond hair, giant blue eyes and a heavenly voice."

Madison

I lightly pinched his cheek and the cutest thing happened. He giggled! His cheeks were flushed pink."You're so much cuter when you smile." I started to tickle him. He kept laughing and Rin woke up from his laughter."You feel better, Mr. Emotional?" She asked."I'm not emotional. But I do feel better. Crying helped a lot." He answered."So, let's get dressed. Since we missed the finale, how about we get packed to head back to America. I think we leave about 12:30." I said, looking at my phone for the time.

"Len has unfinished business." Rin smirked at her brother."I do?" He asked."Yeah," Luka sat up on the floor.

"Did you sleep on my panda?" I asked, noticing my panda was under her head.

"You should apologize to your dad for what you said yesterday. About needing a foot up his ass, saying his food was gross." Luka continued."Was he wrong?" Miku said, coming from under Rin's covers with her eyes closed. Not fully awake I guess."Why would I apologize? He's been a jerk to me for years." Len rolled his eyes.

"Technically, he's just been defending against your hurtful words. You're always the one starting the mess at breakfast, lunch and dinner." Rin explained."That's not even remotely true!" Len exclaimed. She folded her arms and gave him a look."Well..not entirely true."

"You're still wrong, dear brother."

"Fine!" Len growled and marched out of the room. He made his way downstairs to the living room."Len, dad's in the room with mom." Rin corrected him. We followed him downstairs to see him sitting on the couch, one leg over the other with a pillow on his lap."I know where he is."

"So go to him."

"I dont go to trash, trash comes to me." Len flipped his bangs.

"Savage!" I coughed.

"Len!" Rin shouted at him.

"Anata wa naze kodomo-tachi ga ōgoe de iru nodesu ka?!" Her mom's voice boomed."Watashitachiha mōshiwakearimasen, mama!" Rin yelled back. Luka went over and took Len's hand, pushing him upstairs and to the end of the hallways where the room was.

"Stop being a jerk and do it! Its the only way you'll truly be free from pain." She whispered. She came back downstairs to stand with us and we listened.

"Dad?"

"Who is it?" The male voice answered.

"Its Len. Can I talk to you?"

We heard the door open and close again."What is it?" He asked, still sounding angry."Ten bucks says this won't end well." Luka whispered and I smacked her shoulder.

"Dad, I-I'm sorry..about yesterday. The only reason I've been so terrible near you is...I haven't gotten over the pain of losing my real dad. He stole my verginity and left me confused about my sexuality for almost ten years. I figured that part out but...I trusted him so much, and the pain of being betrayed kinda...got to me. I'm so sorry."

Then there was silence. Good job, Len. Just tell the truth and everything will be okay.

"I know it was hard for you." Tanaka spoke."I know what its like losing someone you trust. I lost my own sister. Had she not gotten herself killed, you would have an aunt. But, she decided that money was more important than family. She was kinda crazy in the head anyway."

"So was my dad."

"Len, when you're hurting, you can't take it out on everyone. Especially those who are trying to help you. All I've ever wanted was to bond with you but all you did was push me away. I just want to be a father to you. I've always wanted to be a father and when I married your mother, it was a blessing. You and Rin are the best kids I could have asked for, even if we aren't biologically related."

"Thank you! I'm so sorry, I didnt mean anything I said!" Len started crying again.

"Awe!" We whispered.

And, its all over.

Later

We finally made it to our plane back to America. The twins said goodbye once again to their parents and Len sat next to me. I got the window seat this time and we strapped our seatbelts on, ready to take off. I slept a lot during the flight of course. And Len leaned his head on my shoulder. Miku, Luka and Rin were all asleep behind us and holding hands. I watched the sun set and I went back to sleep, leaning my head on Len's chest.

Upon landing, we all woke up with the sun shining in our faces through the plane windows. I kept my eyes closed, wanting a sleep a little bit longer.

"Madi. Get up." His soothing voice said as she shook me. He took my hand and led me off the plane, my eyes still closed. We went into the airport to find our bags. My eyes were still sealed shut."Madi, do you want me to carry you?" he asked. I held my arms out like a baby and he picked me up."You're very light." He said.

"Shut up." I groaned and leaned on his shoulder again. I tucked my face in his warm, pleasantly scented neck and went back to sleep.

Len

Someone's gonna look at me funny while I'm carrying a girl big enough to walk on her own. I thought as I grabbed both mine and Madison's suitcases and wheeled them behind me as we walked to the exit. With Rin in front, we walked back to Madison's house. Which was dumb cause it took like an hour! But we made it.

Rin knocked on the door and it opened five seconds later."Hi Miss Nadine!" We all chorused with big smiles. But Madison was still sound asleep in my arms."Is she alright?" She asked, looking at her daughter."She's fine. Just lazy." Miku answered. Madison mumbled something in her sleep and tickled my neck slightly. I carried her upstairs to her room and opened the door. I placed her down gently on her bed but she had a tight grip on me and I fell on top of her.

"You can let go now." I said. But she didnt let go. I shrugged it off and climbed in the bed next to her. She held onto me with her arms around my neck so I wrapped my arm around her waist and closed my eyes.

I just realized...










































This is the third time I've slept with her.
