Hallway Kisses (Len x Kaito)

Adorable

For the first time in Len's life, he found himself falling head over heels in love.

After supper, Len headed back to his dorm and texted Yuuma.

to: 1 (652-567-7667)

I will b @ the Library tomarrow. Studying with u and Kaito.

Len waited patiently for a reply. Kaito's bright smile was on his mind - Len had been thinking about the senior the entre day.

Len grinned cutely, trying to get Kaito out of his clustered train of thought. Then, Len realized Kaito was 17. Graduating next year!!

"Oh god. I'm only 14. Falling in love with an almost college age student probably isn't such a good thing." Len uttered to himself.

Then, heartache. Kaito probably was straight and had a girlfriend. With his movie-star looks and kind eyes, he could probably get any cute girl.

The boy collapsed into his spinny chair. Len had only had one crush before on Miku when he was twelve. Warm, heart-crushing feelings sank into him.

Len's eyes widened as his phone's ringtone, "Servant of Evil" rang throughout the dorm.

He snatched up his cell. "Hey, It's Len."

"Hello! Oliver here." Oliver's voice always sounded so young and cheery.

"And you need me for...?" Len said, tapping his fingernails on his desk.

"Oh, tomarrow Rin and I are going off campus. Wanna come?" Oliver seemed very excited.

"Actually, I have plans. Sorry."

"What? Unheard of!"

"Yeah, sorry. I'm studying with a group of guys. Gotta go. Bye then. See you later."

Oliver's voice was cut off as Len hung up.

Len sighed. Although some childish fun with Rin and Oliver would be satisfying, Len was stuck on becoming an adult and seeing Kaito again.

Later that night, Yuuma replied. Nothing important was included in the text message, other than the meeting/studying time: 4:00

"God, this means I actually have to look decent tomarrow." Len walked down to the bathrooms-one was on each level- and took a long, detailed look in the wide mirror.

"Huh. I'm not that ugly. Or am I? People tend to find me gross." Len mumbled to himself, slicking back his frizzy, blonde hair. He was close to needing a haircut.

Len blinked. His skin was mostly clear, but probably because he had barely reached puberty. The boy only stood at 5'1. Most 14 year olds were either his height or 6'1. There was no in between.

Len got ready for bed and then slinked back into the hallways. It was only 9, but he was spent. 10:00 meant lights out, and you could get in serious trouble if you were out roaming the halls after 10.

When Len went back into his dorm, he found Yuuma sprawled out on his bed, half naked.

Len flinched and blushed down to the cuffs of his pajamas. "Y-Yuuma! Put something on!" Len covered his eyes childishly.

"What?" Yuuma's eyes peeked out of the top of his book, which his nose was buried in. "We're guys, who cares."

Len tiptoed in and climbed up to the top bunk. "Still, I'd prefer if you put something on."

"It's not like you're attracted to me or anything," Yuuma joked.

"I'm not, but it still makes me super uncomfortable!" Len hissed and buried himself under the covers.

Yuuma just laughed slightly and didn't move. "You're like a little kid. Adorable."

Len said nothing. His face flushed and his mouth quivered. Sure, he sort of looked like a kid, but he was far from one!

"Don't call me adorable." Len urged, covering face. "It makes me uncomfortable."

"Everything makes you uncomfortable," Yuuma sighed. Len could tell he was smirking.

"Goodnight. I'm going to sleep."

And the lights went off.

Len woke up after Yuuma, and did what he normally did on a school day.

Except, he styled his hair cleanly.

The day lugged on forever. Every minute seemed to stretch and drag the day into longer hours.

Thinking of 4:00 made him itchy. His school uniform was uncomfortable and he felt like jumping out of his skin. He couldn't sing at his vocal lessons at 2:30 because he was so worried about studying.

The school day finally closed and Len rushed back to his dorm to get his reading glasses. Glasses were sexy, right? Or was he mistaken?

Len grabbed the glasses and fixed his hair. He had idle time before studying, so he pondered with his school supplies and re-organized everything in his backpack.

Finally, 4:00.

Len hurried down to the library. He searched to find Yuuma, but all he saw his Kaito.

In all of his fancy glory.

He was practically glowing.

But where was Yuuma? He need Yuuma to go up to Kaito. He couldn't just go up there alone! He flushed, quickly trying to think up a solution.

Finally, Len gathered up the guts to go up to Kaito's table alone.

Len pulled up a chair across from Kaito. Timidly, he whispered, "Hello."

"Hey, Len. Yuuma's gonna be a little late."

He said his name! He said it! "Okay, that's g-great, I mean, that's fine."

Len felt dizzy and he could physically feel his face burning.

Kaito was wearing that attractive navy blue scarf again, which revealed his dense collarbones. He had sturdy hands which turned the pages of his study book with ease.

He looked up, smiling. "Are you alright? You look a little, you know."

Len shook his head madly. "Uh, I just sorta are something that was sorta super icky, and-"

Kaito laughed. It was like gold.

"You're flat out adorable."

Len's coughed. his hands were clammy and shaky.

"T-thanks." Len tilted his head.

Adorable. Yuuma had called him that, and now Kaito? Oh gosh, was he becoming more attractive? Was puberty finally hitting him?

Was he macho?

"So, what are you studying? I forget what I did in freshman year."

Kaito's voice was smooth and silky, almost touchable.

"Well, I'm just doing some physics and such..." Len smiled nervously.

"Cool. I can help." Kaito's hand brushed up against Len's."

Len let out a soft sigh. It sort of just spilled from his mouth.

"Hmm?" Kaito looked over at Len.

"N-nothing, I'm just relieved that you're going to help me." Len stuttered.

Len looked into Kaito's suddle blue eyes. They looked kind, sweet. Adorable. Just like him.

Yep, he was in love.
