Sword Art Online V2: Reboot and Reactivate (alexia__ and ~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~, Mature?)

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Stirring a bit, Shinji begins to wake, feeling warm and safe curled up beneath the covers of the bed. He keeps his eyes clothes, not wanting to forget the image of the dream he had just experienced. For the first time, his dreams were not of terror, or pain, or bad memories. But instead, they were good things, a time when his life hadn't been shattered to pieces by the horror known as Sword Art Online.

 

However, as he lay there, try as he might, the images faded away, and he was left with a blank slate. He slowly opens his eyes, which were irritated slightly from all of the crying that had taken place. He lays there for a few moments, not wanting to leave the warmth of the bed, but his stomach gurgles loudly, and nature was calling as well. Sluggishly he makes his way out from under the covers, and for a moment he had to take a second to remember where he was.

 

Reaching for his glasses, he climbs off the bed, the Pajama pants he was wearing almost falling off of his skinny waist. His hair was a mess, but it looked cute at the same time, the way it flopped in his eyes, and curled slightly at the ends. He notices the note, and picks it up, reading it slowly, a small smile forming on his lips. He felt reassured after reading the words Lance had written, and, after finding the restroom and using it, he goes downstairs, looking around to see where Lance was at.

 

The scent of breakfast food wafted into his nose, guiding him through the house, leading him right to where Lance was. All the while Shinji was walking, he had a hold on the pants bottom, so they wouldn't fall off of him. However, the sleeve to the arm that he was holding the pants up with slips, exposing his softly pale shoulder. He tried fixing it with his free hand, but it kept slipping. For a moment he just stood in the kitchen door way, watching Lance cook, but then shuffles forward, so he was standing next to him. "Good morning..." He murmurs, smiling shyly at Lance.

First few things that Lance had noticed were skin, hair and sleepy stairs. It was the fact that naturally it could do such a thing that it became cute, the hair slightly curly and the sleeve falling to reveal.... smooth skin. Lance swallowed and looked over. "I didn't know what you liked so i prepared a large menu, get what ever you like, coffee?"

 

Both boys sat in the rather large table facing each other. Lance dug in eating eggs and toast as he read a morning magazine "This magazines are great they have the latest technology on computer, lab equipment, games anything. The best thing to read" he said happily as he took a bite of a buttered bread.

-----------------------------------------

 

Lance let at least 10 minutes in before he began to talk to Shinji about an idea he had gotten.

"You plan on going to college right Shinji?" asked Lance

"Mind if I prepare a proposition for you since well you are going to graduate in about 5 months or so from high school. A-ah but do feel free to refuse" added Lance.

 

He quickly jumped in to information on how doctors took their patients on medical leave and kept close eye on them, he then jumped to Shinji's situation and very modestly asked about the relationship with his parents and how things worked for them at home.

He later switched to his proposal.

"I know we just met and this is why I'm telling you that it is okay to think of it, but allow me to become your doctor that way I can keep a close eye on you and have extra 'security' for you here in case of ...anything happening. Plus my place will always be open for you since I'll have legal custody of you as a doctor, so what do you say?"

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

"Tea is fine..." Shinji replies, not really liking coffee all that much. He sits down at the table with Lance, a plate with a peeled orange and a piece of toast on it sitting in front of him. He glances over at Lance, who was reading a magazine. Lance probably saw him looking, because he explains what the magazine was about, and when he heard what it was, his eye brighten. "May I read it when you're done?" He asks, before popping an orange slice into his mouth.

 

They fall silent for about ten or so minutes, until Lance speaks up again. Asking if Shinji was planning on going to college. "Yes, I am..." Shinji replies, wondering what the other was going at with this. He nods when Lance continued, saying he had a proposition for Shinji. Wondering what it was, Shinji let's him keep talking, listening to what Lance had to say.

 

He hadn't been expecting questions about how things were at home, but he answered anyways. "Things...aren't well. To be honest, I don't even think they care about my absence from home...things aren't...aren't good..." He takes a bite of his toast, and Lance continues. He almost chokes on his toast when he hears Lance offer to be his doctor. He takes a drink of his tea, before answering the question.

 

"I...I guess that would be nice...yes, that would be fine..." He looks up at Lance, wondering about the last thing he'd said. "And...when you say that...you're place will always be open for me...does that mean... I can stay here whenever? I...don't like it at home..." His last few words were said a bit quieter. He truly hated going home after school, just to be ignored by his own parents.

 

He sighs softly, hoping he was right. He half hoped Lance would just let him move in, but that was a bit much....since they'd just met and all. But there's no crime in wishful thinking, right? He finishes his toast and orange, and drinks the rest of the tea, unconsciously fixing the fallen shirt, just to have it slip off his shoulder again. One of the major pains of being so scrawny.

"That is exactly what I mean, papers will cover anything so even if your parents don't like it once you sign it is like a contract, of course I'll let you read everything. And consider my house your venting therapy place or something" Lance smiled as he saw the larger shirt fall again.

 

"Shall we get you some clothes?" he asked "We can buy some stuff for you to keep here unless you want to go and get some from your and as you can see this house has at least 5 rooms, I only use 2 bu the way, but the rest are free." laughing at an internal joke he looks over at Shinji as he closes the magazine and finished his coffee.

(Sorry for the short reply this time)

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Shinji's eyes brighten, and a huge smile forms on his face. "Really?" He felt so relieved. He finally was going to be able to get out of the house he had come to hate so much. He fought back the urge to just hug Lance, instead he continues to smile, a blushing reddish pink forming on his cheeks. This was a good day so far.

 

"Oh...uh, you don't have to buy anything...if it's okay, I'd like to go to my house to get some things. Like clothes, and my school stuff, and other things I can't do without, ya know?" He pauses, checking the time. "My parents won't be home right now, so maybe going now would be the best option?" He hoped Lance would agree.

 

But he wasn't going to go out in pajamas that threatened to fall off at any moment. So, after they had finished eating, Shinji goes up to the room he'd stayed in, and finds his clothes from the other day and puts them on, folding the pajamas and setting them on the pillow of the bed. He also finds his bag, and slips it on his shoulder, going to where Lance was. Shinji tells him the address of his house, and waits for Lance.

[alexia__]

Lance drives to the address that was given even though it was rather close, he had been wanting to use his car for a while. The house looked family friendly enough but it sure because quickly ironic when you looked inside.

 

"I'll go with you" Lance volunteered "but I'll just wait on the porch so in case you need me just scream" he said jokingly.

"Oh and don't worry pack big bags too I don't mind"

 

Shinji sped walked towards the house while Lance followed and waited on the front while the door stood open. It was a rather quick thing in and out.

"Before we return to my house we have some place to go" said Lance.

 

A small Locksmith store was a couple miles north from were the two lived and Lance go down quickly and returned in less that 15 minutes. The drive back took less than that.

 

Soon they had returned home and Lance removed the car keys, before both got down he turned to Shinji "close your eyes" he ordered as a smal key was place in between the closed eyes boy.

Lance had been creative and gotten a bear dressed as ninja key chair "I hope is not too girly" he laughed softly "now is official doctor and patient"

 

As they got down from the car and Lance carried some of the bags his phone rang

"Hello?" He answered

"Oh hey! How are you been busy lately haven't seen you around the school?"

 

Lance talked to Kahoko the same friend who he played SAO with.

"Nope I haven't been on" answered Lance

Remember we have to see that guy what was his name again?

 

"It was Shiro the one with the rare swords stop forgetting people's name" teased Lance.

Hey hey I got to go got to go see YA!

 

"Crazy men" whispered Lance with a smile as he carried Shiros bags inside

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

They drive to his house, and Shinji hurries inside, grabbing all of the things he had. His clothing went in one bag, along with his special book collection, his anime, manga, and other anime/manga stuff went into another, and in the third bag he owned went his electronics, like his laptop, and gaming things. A smaller bag held his most prized possession, his NervGear. After making sure he had gotten everything, he returns to where Lance was waiting.

 

Before returning to Lance's house, they make a quick stop by a locksmith. Once finished there, they finally return to the house, and before they got out, Lance made Shinji close his eyes. He wondered what was going on, and when he felt something cold and metallic placed in his hand, he opens his eyes, blinking in surprise at the key in his palm. He smiles at the key chain. He didn't think it was girly, he thought it was cute. "Thanks, I like it." He smiles at Lance. "Thanks, really." He slips it into his pocket, next to his phone.

 

They head inside, Shinji carrying the smaller bag and the bag with his clothes in it, and Lance carries the other two. Shinji decided to just stay in the room that he'd stayed in the night before, and when he was given some privacy, he begins to unpack, setting things up and so on. Placing books on shelves, his lap top on the desk, clothes in drawers and the closet, his favorite anime figurines on the window sill. After everything was done, he checks his phone, but saw no messages. He sighs softly, and sits on the bed, not sure what to do now. He knew there was school, but hadn't gone that day.

[alexia__]

The day continued smoothly, Lance returned himself to the lab and wrote on journals for about 4 hours until tiredness hit him. He packed his stuff and left the lab. He lightly knocked on Shinji's door and informed that he was going to sleep if anything was needed to just walk in and shake him.

 

His room was cold as he entered and prepared the bed. Removing his shirt he and jeans he laid down and closed his eyes.

"This is great" suddenly he remembered that he had yet to speak to Shiro

 

My day had been good so far quite busy, I'll be on tomorrow, see you there?

he texted and waited awake until a an answer was received

 

@ ~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Shinji was sitting on his bed, reading a manga, when Lance knocked on the door, telling Shinji that he'd be in his room, and if Shinji needed anything just to go in and shake him. He nods, and watches as the other leaves, before reading his manga again, but after a few moments feels his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulls it out, and opens it, to see a message from Len. He smiles, reading it, and answers quickly.

 

'Oh, that's good. My day has gone okay as well. Looks like we both were blessed with good days, huh? Not doing much today really, just hanging out mostly. I'm not getting on SAO:V2 tonight, but I'll definitely be there tomorrow! See ya there

 

He presses send, closes the phone, and slips it back in his pocket. Picking up the manga again, he finds the spot where he had left off at, and begins to read again, the hours slipping by as he finished it, and started a new one. He didn't even hear his stomach gurgling in hunger when it was dinner time, he was so absorbed in the book he was reading at the moment.

[alexia__]

He shock a couple of times around the bed before he managed sleep it had been 6 by the time he feel asleep.

 

The room was cold now, just how he licked it, and the house terribly quiet keeping all sounds loudly audible. Lance though, slept like a rock with the bed sheet covering every part of him except his hair. He often slept very little usually up to 5 hours a day and sometimes extra minutes here and there, but now he was so glad to rest eve though he was slowly being awaken by the need to eat.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

After a while, Shinji finally notices the rumblings of his stomach, and puts down his book, marking the spot he was at with a bookmark, and gets up from the bed. He wanders out of the room, and down the steps, going to the kitchen, though didn't find Lance there. He looks around, and gets an idea. Since Lance had been so nice, he thought he'd do the guy a favor and make some dinner for him. A smile forms on his face at the thought of what Lance would say, and the expression on his face when he saw the food Shinji had made for him, and he starts looking around in the kitchen, and gets what he needs together.

 

However, he had to go and get a few things for what he was going to make, so after putting on a sweater, and grabbing his umbrella and his wallet, he goes to the store, knowing that Lance was fast asleep at the point. Buying what he needed didn't take very long, and he returns home, heading back into the kitchen, and begins to prepare the meal he had in mind for Lance.

 

Once the food was ready, he sets the table up, making sure everything was perfect, before going upstairs to knock on the door of Lance's room. "Hey...Um, I hope it's alright, but I made you some dinner...It's a thank you for what you've done for me. I'll be downstairs when you're ready to eat..." He retreats down to the dining room, and waits for the other to show up, before smiling. "It's seafood miso soup, which has shrimp, different types of fish, and mushrooms, and udon noodles. With steamed white rice, and green tea. Also, I made something for desert." It was a traditional Japanese meal, and he hoped that Lance would like it. He had even bought the bowls the soup were in as well.

[alexia__]

Wrapping a robe around himself Lance went down stairs and came face to face with a set table, full of deliciously made foods.

"W-what is this Shinji?" Lance smiled at the younger boy until his stomach loudly roared

Blushing he looked down and laughed "haha sorry sorry this looks great please let us eat"

 

Sitting down he dug into all the delicious food throwing compliments at Shinji for his great techniques and how he had slightly made some stuff more cooked that other.

"Ah this one taste great too" he added as he served his seconds. Lance found himself happy to no point, it had been a while since anyone cooked for him due to him moving to Japan but tasting all this brought back memories and his good mood.

"This is great you should become a chef, I mean it" he added "also you beat my cooking so you can take the initiative and cook all you want here" laughed Lance.

--------------------------

Soon after he finished he told Shinji to stay put that he would clean up.

"So what did you do all afternoon?" Asked Lance

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Shinji smiles brightly when Lance ate his food, enjoying it thoroughly, and even commenting about how he could become a chef if he wanted to. He goes on to tell Shinji that he could cook all he wanted there. Shinji blushes deeply, flattered from the compliments he was getting. It had been some time since he'd been praised for anything he'd done. "Thank you. I'm glad you liked it."

 

After the food was all gone, he was about to get up to do the dishes when Lance told him to stay put, that he'd clean up. Shinji slowly sits back down, folding his hands on top of the table, and watches as Lance picked up the dishes off the table. He was asked a question after a short while, Lance asking what he had done all that afternoon.

 

"Not much really...unpacked, then read for the most of the day. That's it really. Oh! And talked to a friend for a short while. It didn't last long, but...I really like talking to them." He smiles, tracing his finger along a line that was etched into the wooden table. "What about you?"

[alexia__]

"What are your friends like?" asked Lance as he added "Getting to know you will help me as your doctor"

 

Late on he answered that his sleep had been better than usual and that maybe he will work on getting a full 8-9 hours. The boys continued to talk and Lance began to notice that Shinji was pretty fluent of communication and was not to closed off as when once first sees him.

"Maybe tomorrow I'll cook" suggested Lance "Although as you can tell I'm not Japanese" he chuckled "So i hope you can eat English foods"

 

The afternoon was very flowing, a few snacks were eaten after the dinner and Lance watched the news until he noticed the time.

"Oi! Shinji" screamed Lance from the living room to Shinji somewhere in the house "I hope you have clean close there's school for you tomorrow" he said "Don't think I haven't forgotten about that"

He then proceeded to laugh as he heard a small *tudd* sound come from somewhere in the house.

Sorry for the late reply school >.>

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

"I only have one friend...but he's pretty cool." Shinji smiles, then nods at Lance's offer to make dinner the next evening. They talk for a bit longer, and after a while Shinji goes back to his room. He decides to take a shower, and picks out his pajamas, before going into the bathroom that was connected to the bedroom. After taking off his clothing, he places his glasses on the sink. Kneeling down, he picks up a bottle of shampoo, when he hears Lance calling out to him.

 

Startled, his hands fumble, and he drops the shampoo bottle. He sighs softly, as he'd been halfway hoping Lance would just let him stay at home again. Wrapping a towel around his waist, and goes to the door, opening it slightly so he could call down to Lance. "Yeah, I know. My uniform is clean." He returns to the bathroom, turns on the shower, removes the towel from his waist,then steps into the shower.

 

Shinji sighs as the warm water rolled off his skin, helping his body relax. After cleaning himself, and washing his hair, he simply stands under the stream of water, his eyes closed, enjoying his shower. He begins to sing softly, his voice gentle and almost sad. "Far away, in another world, I hear you calling softly. Your warm embrace, I see your face, you say you'll never leave me. The night then comes, the stars they shine, I am yours and you are mine. But in the end, you fade away. I cry and moan, you could not stay, and now I'm all alone...." he falls silent, and all that could be heard was the sound of the shower.

[alexia__]

The answer from Shinji was slightly irritated giving Lance the more reason to go and encourage him, he goes up stairs and steps outside the bathroom, slowly he hears slight sound coming from the inside and leans in to hear Shinji's song.

 

A sad emotion runs through Lance as he remembers just for a second were the boy came from, 'this will take some time' he said to himself.

 

*knock knock*

 

"Hey Shinji listen, I don't want to be on top of you about this, but school is important I promise as you come to better yourself you will come to like school more, just give it some, want me to pick you up from now on?" he suggested.

____________________________________________________________

 

The alarm went off at 5:30 and Lance dressed up to go for his morning job, returning at 6:20 to make breakfast and waking up Shinji at 7:00. Lance exited the shower at 7:30 and dressed in his suit and lab coat and meet the younger boy in the kitchen for breakfast.

 

"Good Morning" he smiled

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

The next morning Shinji had gotten up early, and was found in the kitchen, making breakfast for them, alresdy dressed and ready for school. His bag was by the front door, as well as his shoes. Looking over at Lance, he smiles. "Good morning." Shinji holds out a plate with rolled omelets on them, placing them on thr table. "Breakfast." He also had made Lance a cup of coffee, having already memorized what Lance liked, seeing it just that one time.

 

"Oh, and here..." He hands Lance a plastic bento box, with a lunch he'd made for the other inside, containing shrimp sushi, two rice balls, octopus shaped sausages, and a vegetable and noodles. It was tied with a string, and a napkin, with a set of chopsticks were tied to it. A small heated bottle with a cup lid held miso soup with tofu and mushrooms. And for drink, a bottle of tea. He'd made a duplicate box for himself, which he already put in his bag.

 

"Oh, and I was thinking about what you suggested last night...and I would like it if you picked me up from school..." He turn s, and goes to leave. "I'll see you after school." He then walks out the front door, making sure he had his phone and the house key he'd been giving, and walks to school, eventually reaching the school, and going inside, dreading the day that was about to take place. He could tell bad things were going to happen, from the way the school bullies were looking at him.

[alexia__]

Lance had planned to make breakfast but as he took in a look around the kitchen Shinji had beaten him to breakfast... and lunch!

"Wow! this is great , you really don't have to" he added "But don't mind if I do"

 

The coffee was almost identical to the one he prepared for himself and once again complimented Shinji for it. Running through the plans of the day Lance informed Shinji to keep eye for a white luxury car, and that the one he'd been using was borrowed since he's was need of repair.

Lance then checked his phone and sent a message to Shiro as he was leaving the house half an hour after Shinji

 

Have a nice day! I will meet you today in SAO if you're free?

Sent

 

The schedule showed:

-class

-lab

-mathematics

-lunch

-back to lab

-call home

 

Due to Lance's birthday coming up his mother(aunt) liked to talk to him and give him lost of wishes so he'd have to cope with the over flow of love. Smiling he though

'Perhaps today won't be so bad'

-------------------------------------------------------

As if the day had been cursed Lance's day was possibly the worse, lab coat ripped, all specimens of bacteria died and his phone had fallen in a puddle during lunch. He now found himself getting a new one and driving to Shinji's school to pick up the younger boy.

He beeped at the boy for a signal and as he came around and hopped in Lance asked.

"I don hope your day was better than mine, tell me about it?"

Lance's car

 

 

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

Like he'd feared, today was terrible. During lunch break, he'd gotten his bento knocked from his hands, and what came after was probably one of his worst beatings yet. No broken bones, but definite bruises and cuts that bled. It was a miracle he'd made it through school without flipping out. His phone had been smashed in the process, and the pieces were in his pocket.

 

Leaving the school, he looks around, his glasses bent and broken, in his pocket, so everything he saw was blurred. Only a car honking at him announced that he saw Lance, and sighs, slipping I to the passenger seat. Glancing over at Lance when he was asked how his day was, he shakes his head. It was obvious by the bandages in his face, and hands, the mess if his hair, his split lip, and the lack of glasses how his day had gone.

 

"I don't want to talk about it. Can we just go now?" He grumbles, wincing when he pulls on his seat belt. He just wanted to get home and forget this day ever happened. He had replied to the message he'd gotten from Len earlier that day, telling his friend he'd be on that evening. The thought of getting on SAO:V2 again, and seeing his friend again were the main reasons he'd been able to get through the school day.

[alexia__]

Lance had asked this question before looking over at Shinji. The sight was terrible. He decided to not speak of it and drove silently home. The fact that he had gotten his car back made him brighten up slightly but he knew that Shinji had no such light therefore the rest of the drive he brain stormed on what he could do.

 

They got home and threw their bags on the near couch, Lance made his way to the trash and dumped him lab coat there making a mental note to buy a new one.

"Make sure you do your homework, it is important please. I'll be in my room if you need anything I have to finish some stuff. Remember if you need anything at all just ask me" emphasized Lance as he headed to him room.

 

Once there he closed the door and popped open the screen of his laptop to the home screen of his school institute. On the drive he had though of a way to suggest the younger boy on perhaps an early college start. The institute allowed such things if a large sum of money was presented first hand.

It wasn't much compared to the amount his parents sent him monthly so he could easily cover it, although he would not tell the boy money was going to be used therefore he printed out the school information, sign up sheets and classes to suggest it during dinner.

 

Lance walked over to his bed and place the laptop new to him, he then became Len .

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

They reach home, and Shinji hurries into the house, barely listening to what Lance said. "Sure, I'll keep that in mind..." He mutters, not really needing help with his homework. He goes to his desk, and finishes the homework he'd started at school, finishing it in less than twenty minutes. Placing the finished homework in his bag, he turns to his computer, turning it on, and slipping the disk in the rom.

 

While he waited for it to boot up, he changed from his school uniform, pulling on a loose long sleeved grey shirt, and baggy pants, black in color. He goes to the bathroom, changing the bandage on his cheek, dabbing his lip with a wet washrag. He sighs at his refkection in the mirror, having put on new glasses, he always made sure to have a sspare, just in case this kibd of thing happened.

 

After he'd finished, he goes to the room, puts on his nervgear, and connectz to the game, becoming what he called "his stronger self, Shiro". He sits up from the bed, and stretches, placing his and on his head for a moment. He then stands up, and places his swords on his back, and leaves the room, then the inn, stepping out onto the streets of NWC. He sends a PM to Len.

 

Hey, meet me in front if Blanc Cafe. You know, that one cafe near the edge of NWC:East. See ya there! he heads towards the spot himself, arriving there in less than five minutes. There wasn't anyone there yet, so he presumed he was early. He leans against the front of the building, his arms crossed over his chest, his scarf covering the lower half of his face. Shiro was excited to see Len again, it had been a few days.

[alexia__]

He didn't know what caused the change of heart but Len found himself walking down the city streets towards the only place where he could find it.

His head scarf had been lost, not that he knew how, it was a game after all but it had disappeared. Hi friend, Riakki, had promised to meet up in the cafe but for now that would have to wait.

 

It was moments like these, when anyone could see his avatar's face and literally see his own that he'd regretted the mistake of making a perfect look alike.

"Was the eye the only thing I could change" he asked himself sarcastically.

---------------------------

It seemed that even in the game life was getting back at him and all scarfs were gone. Luckily Riakki had told him to hurry to the cafe for an extra face cloth.

 

Making his way down the not to crowded street he tried to make his hair some what messy to cover his facial similarities, pushing open the door he spotted two people Riakko in a far off chair and Shiro in a near left table. Both eyes turned to Len as he walked in, Riakoko smiled and waved the scarf

"Hey Len! I have your scarf! man you look like the actual you scary!" screamed Riakko as he walked towards Len.

[~*~FaLlEn*SnOw~*~]

He had been waiting for longer than he'd hoped, so Shiro had gone inside, instead of remaining outside of the building, and was now sitting at a table by himself, located at a table by the door, so he could see out the window. He was about to doze off, but then hears the door open, the bell tinkling announcing that someone had arrived. He looks around, a smile forming on his lips when he saw who it was.

 

He was about to call out to him, when another person shouts to Len first. It was the guy from the other day that had been talking with Len...about him. He sinks in his chair, not quite sure what to say or do now. Yes, Len was there. But...there was also that guy. He had turned away, but when the other male said to Len he looked like the actual, he turns around, a confused look in his eyes. The actual what? Len? The real Len? As in, Real Life Len?

 

But that was none of his business, what Len looked like...was it? He was curious, yes, but at the same time, he knew not to overstep his boundaries. So, he lowers his eyes, and remains seated in his chair. However, the recluse didn't last long. The male that was talking to Len glances over at him, and shouts out. "Hey! That's Shiro isn't it Len?! Wow, we gotta talk to him!!!" Shiro blushes deeply, and sinks a bit more in his seat. This just kept getting worse...

As Riakki pointed out the younger boy sitting a few tables away Len grabbed the scarf and wrapped it around his head, it was long enough to cover the rest of his face and only leave the red eye out.

Noticing the sudden blush from the boy he decided to grab Riakki's hand before the other boy went running to Shiro.

"Hey" whispered Len "Not now I think he might be mad" he lied

"Really? okay I'll see him later but you go tell him we want to talk to him" said Riakki "he might like you better"

"Fine" said Len

---------------------

Len waited until Riakki had left the cafe before he approached Shiro

"May I sit?" he asked politely as he watched the other boy closely for any signs of denial.

Sighing in relief as the other guy left, he looks up when Len came over, asking Shiro if he could sit at the table. He bids, smiling a bit, his mouth hidden by the scarf at his neck. He waits for the other to sit down before speaking up. "You're friend is really...different. Why is he so ...um...how do I say this without being rude?" He rubs the back of his neck, blushing slightly.

 

He wanted to ask 'Why is your friend so obsessed with me?' but feared saying that would just be rude. He let's his hand fall to his lap, staring down at them, before looking up to Len. "So, it's been a while, huh? Things haven't gone as we planned, that's for sure." He looks into Len's one visible eye, a smile on his lips.

 

Shiro wasn't quite sure what to say next, so falls silent. He hadn't ordered anything, but maybe if they stayed long enough he would. He had plenty of money to spend. He moves his hands from his lap to rest on the table, his fingers laced together. Shiro stares at his hands, feeling odd all of a sudden.
