~Len's POV~

As I walked along the road, I noticed that the street was deserted. Why aren't people here today of all days? It's so nice out....

I sighed, shrugging as I continued to walk. I looked around a bit more, and saw that a frozen yogurt place had just opened up, and was packed with people. Is this the reason why no one's outside? It's not that hot out....

Raising an eyebrow at the people inside, I noticed one thing in particular. Miku. And the person next to her. Kaito. Well, wasn't this just great. I can ask her about the problem I'm having.

Idiot.

I couldn't ask her about that! And especially in front of Kaito! And of course he'd be here. It's a frozen yogurt place. He's practically an animal for ice cream. So frozen yogurt would be similar, right?

Well...it wouldn't hurt to at least say hello.... I sighed, walking in. Immediately, I was drowned in a swarm of people. I couldn't see anything. Well, anything except for people's clothing.... How was I supposed to reach Miku and Kaito if I wasn't able to even move at this point?!

Ugh, I need to think of a way out of this.... But I've got nothing! I really need a miracle at this point.... Or a bigger brain...! Either will do, God!

Thankfully, I was granted a miracle. Too bad I didn't get any smarter....

Miku somehow noticed my body floating around in this sea of people, and was nice enough to pull me out of it. "Lenny~!" She shouted happily, pulling me into a hug, which, at this point, was worse than the sea of people due to how my body was now very fragile.

"H-he...llo...." I managed out, my voice tired and worn-out from it all.

"Oh, Len. How've you been?" Kaito was being nice, but he'd probably forgotten about me when he got together with Miku.

"I-I've...b-b-be...en...bet...ter...." I choked out the words, as I was still in Miku's vice grip of a hug.

"Oh!" Miku laughed nervously as she let go of me. "Sorry about that...." She blushed in embarrassment, scratching at her cheek with a finger.

"N-no.... It's not y-your fault...." I coughed softly, clearing my throat a bit. "T-thanks for saving me though...." I smiled in apology, bowing my head slightly.

"Oh.... You're welcome...?" It was obvious that Miku was confused as to why I was thanking her. I just decided to ignore that.

"This place is pretty packed, huh?" I glanced around, not even being able to move my arms much because of how squished everyone was in the tiny space.

Kaito nodded. He had been silent up until now. "Yeah. Although, it's nice."

I was shocked by this. "How?" Until...

Kaito glanced at Miku, blushing slightly. Miku smiled, nodding. I gagged.

"Oh," I replied, quickly understanding. Kaito was nice, but sometimes he could be really weird.... There are rumors going around about him. They're not pretty.... And he even once sang a song about raping Miku, so I'm shocked that he even got together with her after that. Although, I'm sure she has her own twisted reasons....

"Oh, we're next." Kaito glanced up at where the register was behind the person in front of us.

"Is...it alright if I order with you guys?" I asked, giving them puppy eyes. No one could resist my puppy eyes.

Miku nodded, smiling brightly. "Of course! You're our friend, Lenny!"

"I'll pay for my own," I quickly added. I didn't want to seem like some kid asking for money from friends. It's rude!

"Don't worry about it." Kaito smiled as well. He walked up to the register, paying for three vanilla cones. I guess vanilla would be alright.... I wanted to try a fun flavor though.... So dull....

I faked a smile and took the dull frozen yogurt from Kaito. "I'll pay you back," I said before taking a few licks of the yogurt. The vanilla was very good, and the faked smile soon turned into one of genuine gratitude. "This is good!" I mumbled between licks.

"Glad you like it. I guess they live up to their standards. And don't worry about it, Len. Let's call it an 'I.O.U'." Kaito's smile seemed to hide a deeper meaning, which creeped me out, but I just nodded.

Miku laughed softly. "Just ignore Kaito. You don't owe us anything. Right Kaito?" She smiled at him, which also seemed to have a deeper meaning, causing him to flinch and nod in fear.

I never knew how creepy these two could get. Especially with each other....

"Well, thank you for the frozen yogurt, but I'll be on my way now. It's getting late and I have to find a friend who ran off." I bowed in gratitude and said goodbye to the both of them before quickly running out of that crowded frozen yogurt shop and into the deserted road again. Finally.... I'm not cramped up anymore.

I stretched my arms out, popping some of the air out of my stiff joints before continuing on my search for Oliver. Seriously, where could that kid have gotten to? Maybe it would be better just to wait for him.... Agh, this kid drives me crazy...!

I continued to walk for about forty-five minutes before arriving at the house all the vocaloid's shared. Wait, why had I come here? I had been searching for Oliver.... Agh, I guess I'll just wait until tomorrow....

I sighed, walking up the steps to the doorway and unlocking it with the key everyone living there was given. Only the more popular vocaloids happened to love here because they were considered 'official', but I wouldn't really care to understand why.

I quickly unlocked the door, opening it up and walking over to the couch, slumping down in exhaustion. I sighed, letting out a single humorless laugh. "Hah.... I guess I'll just wait.... And wait.... And wait...."

"...Um... L-Len...?" A voice came from behind me. It seemed familiar, but at this point, I was too tired to figure out who it was. And the comfy couch wasn't helping at all....

"Yeah...?" I asked weakly, yawning and shutting my eyes.

"W-why are you w-waiting...?" The voice was high, and sounded somewhat like a girl. But then again, it didn't sound like a girl. But I still was too tired to figure it out....

"For tomorrow...." I replied, blindly moving my hand around to find a pillow I could use.

"W-why...?" This person is very pestering.... Ah, just leave me to sleep....

"Because I'm seeing a friend tomorrow...." I yawned again, finding a pillow and flipping into my side, stuffing it over my face.

"O-oh.... W-who would t-that be...?" C'mon.... Just leave me be.... Can't you see I'm exhausted...?!

"This kid named Oliver...." I bit the pillow. Don't ask why, I was tired, okay?

"O-Oliver...? B-but.... I-I'm here...." The person's voice faltered a bit at this, but nothing else happened.

My eyes shot open. I scrambled to my feet, grabbing Oliver's shoulders. "Oliver?! Why're you here?! How'd you get in?!"

"I-I-I have a k-key...!" Oliver shut his eyes tightly, most likely out of fear of how much I was shaking him at this point. It's not really my fault that he shocked me like that....

"Whaaaaaat?! How?!" I shook him even harder, and shouted at the top of my lungs. Poor Ollie.... He must've been so scared....

"M-M-M-Miku g-gave me o-one...!" Oliver shut his eyes even tighter somehow, almost as if he didn't have any at all.

Well, I guess I couldn't see one, but I assumed he had another eye. Having one eye would be weird. Oh god, what if I just insulted him in my head.... I'm sorry Ollie...!

"So...you're an official vocaloid?! Why didn't you tell me?!" I shouted even louder somehow. I really need to stop shouting before he goes deaf....

"Y-you never a-a-asked...!" Oliver shouted back. Is this turning into a game of 'who can shout louder'?!

I flinched slightly, lowering my voice. "Oh.... Right. Heh. Sorry. Anyway, I'm tired. You should go to sleep too. Goodnight." I patted him on the head before flipping back down on my side and burying my head into the pillow again.

"On the couch...?" Oliver cocked his head a bit in confusion. "Don't you have your own bed...?"

"Yes, but I'm too tired to walk all the way upstairs..." I yawned, sitting up for the moment until he left. "You can use the guest bed for now. Or, I'm assuming you were given a guest room as yours now?"

"Yes...." Oliver nodded, poking his two pointer fingers together. He was so cute.

...Get a hold of yourself, Len!

"Alrighty then. Goodnight!" I quickly ended the conversation and fell back over onto my side once again.

"G-goodnight...." Oliver seemed somewhat confused still, but headed to wherever his room was located and—I'm assuming—went to sleep as well.
