Domestic Vocaloid Adventures

What Len Was Up To Last Chapter

     Len stared down the hall at his target. It was another blond boy by the name of Oliver, who was currently standing at his locker.

     Len was a bit shy to admit it, but he had been crushing on Oliver hardcore ever since he saw him give his solo at the last choir concert.

     He wiped his sweaty palms on his pants and took a deep breath. He could do this. He promised himself he was going to do it today.

     He counted to three in his head, and then ran forward and tapped Oliver on the shoulder. The other boy turned his head, and smiled when he saw Len.

     "Oh, hey Len! What is it?"

     "Um..." Len's voice came out shakier than he expected. He swallowed anxiously. "I...I like you!" He blurted out. "Like...a lot. Do you wanna go on a date with me sometime?"

     Oliver's face lit up. "I'd love to! How about after school today?"

     Len nodded eagerly. "Yeah! That'd work! Okay, I'll see you after school bye!" The words spilled out of his mouth as quickly as possible and then he covered his face with his hands and ran away.

     He did it! He actually did it! And Oliver said yes! Now all he had to do was come up with somewhere they could walk to after school...

     They met up at Oliver's locker again once school was over.

     "I'm glad to see you didn't flake on our date," Oliver giggled. Hearing Oliver actually say the word date made Len's heart jump. This was a date. For real. He and Oliver were going on a date . Holy shit .

     "So, where are we going?" Oliver continued.

     "Uh, there's a nice coffee shop not too far from here, my sister and I walk there after school sometimes. I have some extra cash, so how about we walk down there? I can get us whatever we want," Len proposed. He wasn't confident in the idea, but it was the best one he had.

     Luckily, Oliver said. "That sounds like a great idea! Just lead the way!"

     So that's what he did. They pushed past all the rest of the kids and out of the school doors into the warm sun, and Len began to lead their way.

     Things were very quiet at first. Len glanced over at his date awkwardly, trying to come up with a good conversation topic. He was going back and forth on several topics when Oliver suddenly grabbed his hand and he almost jumped ten feet in the air.

     "Oh! Should I not have done that?" Oliver's face filled with concern and dropped his hand.

     "Ah! No no no! I uh...I liked it, actually," Len scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. He could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks. "You just surprised me is all."

     Oliver smiled. "Oh, okay then!" He grabbed Len's hand again.

     Len's heart nearly leapt into his throat, but he laced his fingers with Oliver's and held his hand tightly.

     It wasn't long before they had arrived at the shop. The bell jingled as the door swung open, and the woman at the counter smiled when they walked in. She brushed her long, pink hair off of her chest to reveal a name tag that said 'Luka'

     "Welcome back Len! I see you've got a friend with you," she commented.

     "He's, uh...not my friend," Len tried to correct her, only earning a confused look from Luka.
