σ(^_^;) Len's POV σ(^_^;)

"Hey Len, did you hear about the New Year Festival?" Xena asks.

"Y-Yeah." I reply.

"Are going there later?" She asks.

"M-Maybe... I'm not sure.." I reply.

"U-um... If you have time... Can you be there?" She asks.

"Um... Uh... Sure." I say, blushing like an idiot.

Then, I go to the roof, all light headed over what happened. I sit down, with my back against the chain link fence.

"I am such an moron." I say to myself.

With the light-headedness, I slowly drift off into sleep. Later, I somehow managed to wake up when the festival started.

When I met up with Xena, we went up to the roof, and we looked at the Christmas festival, talking for awhile.

Then, she asks "Hey Len, do you have any siblings?"

"Yeah, only a sister though. Why?" I say.

"I heard from Miku that you have a sister, so I figured I would ask you." She replies.

"It's been quite awhile since our parents died." I say.

"What happened to them?" She asked.

"Rin was only one year old so she was at a cousin's house when it happened. A terrorist blew up a skyscraper that caused the debris to fall on those below. I was very close to death, but our parents suffered many injuries and died the next day." I reply.

"How did you manage to stay strong?" She asked, obviously shocked.

<3 Xena's POV <3

"I never tried." He said, tears running down his face.

"Len..." I say. I don't know how to react at the time.

Len starts to wipe off his tears.

"Sorry... I..." He says, then he starts to leave.

I don't know why, but I ran and hugged him.

"Don't worry Len." I say.

"Xena..." he says.

Then he turns around and places his hands on my cheeks. I am blushing so much right now (>.<)

The in a soft tone, he says

"I was meaning to tell you this, so I'll tell you now. I love you Xena." then he kissed me.

When I woke up, Len was sleeping right beside me.
