Len leaned back in his chair and sighed. It had been nearly two hours and no one had come to report to him about Kaito. It worried him sick to think that Kaito might have... kicked the bucket, pushed up the daises, and a bunch of other crude terms about someone dying. He hadn't spared Gakupo even a glance after they had arrived at the hospital. As the two of them sat there in the waiting room worrying themselves sick, a dark-haired doctor with a medical mask on came out along with a young man with dirty blond hair.

"You're... Len Kagamine and Gakupo Kamui, yes?" the doctor asked. Len nodded. "Well, the surgery was a success, but Mr. Shion will probably be asleep for a little longer... you're lucky he didn't hit his head any harder on that table. We're not exactly sure how long it will be until he wakes up but we're estimating about five to ten hours." Len slumped in his seat.

"So... yeah. You can go see him if you'd like, but he won't be conscious for a while." With that, he turned on his heels and walked briskly away, his dark hair and white coat flapping dramatically in the non-existent wind. Suddenly, Gakupo jumped up rather exaggeratedly and reached out crying, "Wait! What's your name?" Stopping, the doctor turned slightly, just enough to see the profile of his face and answered, "Dr. Homicide." And they disappeared around the corner. Len scratched his chin and murmured, "Hm. I swear I've heard that name somewhere before..."

"Oh well. Let's go," Gakupo said. Len pushed passed him, and growled, "Don't tell me what the fuck to do." Gakupo stopped in his tracks as Len walked away. As if he didn't already feel extremely guilty seeing the young boy's bad mood just made it worse. Gakupo knew it was probably a bad choice, but he turned and left the hospital. On his way out, he saw a girl with long green hair pulled back into a ponytail. Gakupo recognized her as the girl that was with Len earlier.

"Ah! Mr. Gakupo!" Gakupo stopped as Miku ran over to him. "How's Kaito? Is he alright?" she asked slightly out of breath. Gakupo nodded.

"Yeah. The doctor said that the surgery was a success and he should wake up in about five to ten hours. Luckily, he didn't hit his head too hard," he explained. Miku let out a breath of relief. Smiling at Gakupo, she walked past him and entered the building.


"Thank you," Miku said, bowing slightly to the doctor. He nodded back as she turned and jogged down the hallway. Turning right, she walked down the hallway until she reached the designated room number. Knocking slightly, she heard a hoarse, "Come in." Sliding the door open, she saw Len sitting next to Kaito in an uncomfortable-looking chair. When Len turned his head, his eyes looked tired and bloodshot. He gave a small smile when he saw his friend.

"Hey, Miku. How're Meiko and Rin?" he asked. Miku shrugged and answered, "I told them we were going out for a little while. She told me to be back by dinner." Len nodded slowly. Sluggishly, he stood and offered the other Vocaloid his seat. Miku shook her head and Len dropped back down into the seat.

"Len... you should probably get some rest. It's been a long night," Miku told him softly, resting a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Kaito will still be here when you wake up. Len stood up and walked over to the couch provided for visitors. Curling up, he fell asleep almost immediately. Miku smiled and grabbed the blanket that hung over the back of the couch, spreading it over the boy. As she reached the door, Miku whispered, "I wish you two the best." With that, she exited the room.

"Onii-chan! Onii-chan! Let's go to the park!" a small Len cried. His 'Onii-chan' smiled and knelt down. However, there was sadness in the smile.

"I'm sorry, Len. Onii-chan is a little bit busy," he answered. Len frowned then tugged at 'Onii-chan's' shirt.

"Onii-chan, why are you wearing those clothes?" The older male looked away. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Your onii-chan has done something very bad. I have to go away for a long time. But I promise I'll be back. You have to be strong for me, alright?" Tears welled up in Len's eyes.

"You're going away?" 'Onii-chan' put a warm hand on Len's cheek and wiped the tears away. Placing a feathery kiss on his forehead, 'Onii-chan' said, "Yes, but I'll tell you a secret that I need you to remember. Will you remember it for me?" Len nodded. "Alright. The secret is—"

Len jerked awake. He shot up and looked around. Something had woken him, but he wasn't sure what it was. Then he realized it was the heart monitor. Kaito's heart rate was completely out of whack. Len jumped up and ran to the door.

"Help! Someone, help!" he yelled. Several nurses ran into the room and began checking the equipment and Kaito. The bluenette began squirming and his already-pink face flushed even more. He was groaning and looked as if he was in severe pain... or severe pleasure. Suddenly, Kaito's eyes flew open with a gasp.

"Mr. Shion! Are you alright?" one of the nurses asked with a worried look on his face. Kaito's eyes were wide and he was breathing heavily. Nodding slightly, he murmured, "Yes... yes, I'm alright. What... where am I?" Len walked forwards and flung himself on Kaito before giving a chance for anyone to answer. Tears fell freely from the blond Vocaloid's eyes as he hugged Kaito, tears that he had kept pent up ever since his onii-chan had left him.

"Onii-chan... Onii-chan..." Kaito looked surprised at Len's outburst of emotions before his expression turned to a gentle one. Wrapping his arms around Len, he pulled him closer. Len buried his face in Kaito's shoulder as Kaito rubbed his back. The older male began crying as well. The sudden wave of tears took the nurses by surprise. Then they all smiled as the two held each other.

"Len... you remember... you finally remember..." Kaito said in a hushed whisper. The nurses desperately wanted to let this reunion continue but alas, there had to be an end to everything. One of the four nurses, a tall woman with long silver hair and droopy red eyes tapped Len on the shoulder and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt, but would you let us check Mr. Shion's wound?" Len sniffled and rubbed his nose as he nodded and crawled off of the bed.

"Hello, Mr. Shion. I'm Haku. How are you feeling?" she asked. Kaito shrugged, "Like I was just tackled by an overjoyed blond kid." Haku quirked an eyebrow.

"How does your head feel?"

"Like it was cracked open on a table." Haku was frowning now.

"... how does your arm feel?"

"... like it has an IV in it." Haku sighed while the other nurses giggled. Len was chuckling as well.

"Well, you're certainly uncooperative," Haku grumbled. Kaito shrugged and said, "I was just answering your questions truthfully. How is that being uncooperative?" Len walked over to Kaito and laid a hand on Kaito's arm. Kaito looked over at Len with a moderately surprised look on his face. Len just offered a small, tired smile.

"Alright, well, it looks like you're feeling alright. I'll have another nurse bring in some food," Haku told them. Turning to Len, she asked, "Would you like some food as well?" He opened his mouth to speak but his stomach beat him to it. Len closed his mouth and blushed. The nurses giggled as Haku smiled and said, "I'll take that as a yes. Mr. Shion, try not to move around too much." With that, they left. Len stood by Kaito as they just stared at each other.

"Kaito—"

"Len—" They both stopped as they said the other's name at the same time. They opened their mouths again but stopped. Both of them chuckled and Len gestured to Kaito.

"You first," he said. Kaito nodded and swallowed. Clenching and unclenching his fist, Kaito said, "This probably isn't the best place to tell you but... I like you." Len froze as his eyes widened. Kaito wouldn't meet his eyes as he flushed several different shades of red. "I know it must be weird being confessed to by another guy, but I can't help it. I just—" Kaito was cut off when Len's small hands grabbed his face and he was suddenly lip locked in a gentle, hesitant kiss. After a few seconds, Len pulled away.

"Len... what..." They were both beet red as the room fell silent. Rain began falling steadily on the window. As Len played with the hem of his shirt, he didn't meet Kaito's eyes as he mumbled, "I—I like you too... I think..." Kaito was silent for a moment before smiling and thinking, he's too cute. Taking Len's chin, he turned the younger Vocaloid's face until their eyes met. A smile played on the edge of Len's mouth as Kaito leaned in to steal another kiss.

"Mr. Shion? I've brought your food," a nurse called, knocking briefly. She opened the door just in time to see Kaito and Len pull away from each other with flustered looks on their faces. Neither would meet the other's eyes. Her eyes widened a bit before she smiled and giggled. "Oh? Did I interrupt something?" The two Vocaloids gave her an incredulous look as she set the trays down on Kaito's bedside table. "Sorry. Well, here's your food." And then she left. Kaito scooted over in his bed and patted the space beside him. Len gave him a look but accepted the invitation anyways. He pulled his shoes off with his toes and climbed in beside Kaito.

"Heh... you're so cute," Kaito murmured, placing a kiss on Len's temple. Len blushed again and began picking at his bland food. It consisted of plain white rice and meatloaf with a cup of fruit and green beans. Kaito frowned and stuck out his tongue.

"Ew... hospital food is so nasty..." he grumbled. This time, Len chuckled and placed a kiss on Kaito's cheek and whispered in his ear, "You're so cute." In return, Kaito blushed and picked at his food. Len spooned some food into his mouth and raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, this isn't half bad. Of course, it could be because I'm just hungry, but you know." Len said nothing more as he began shoveling the food into his mouth. "Do you want me to bring you some decent food later, though?" Len asked. Kaito nodded, pushing his tray away. Soon enough, Len finished his food. Kaito grinned. He lay down on his side and tugged Len down with him. Len situated himself under the covers and they entangled their legs together.

"I love you, Len," Kaito whispered, kissing Len on the forehead. Len snuggled into Kaito's chest and whispered back, "I love you, too." The words felt foreign on his tongue as they left his mouth. After that, Len's eyes fluttered shut and Kaito followed Len to the land of dreams soon after. Only moments after the new couple fell asleep, Miku and Gakupo walked in. Miku formed an O with her mouth before smiling and pulling Gakupo out of the room.

"We should probably let them get some rest," she said. Gakupo nodded, smiling at the two. The two walked out of the hospital, happy for their friends that had finally found true love.


**Alright, I've had a couple of people ask me about this, and I want to say that the story is NOT over. I'm not exactly sure how long it will be, but yeah... sorry about the misunderstanding.**

OH GOD. I'M LATE, I'M LATE, SO VERY, VERY LATE. Or however the hell that goes. *proceeds to be pelted with pots and pans* I'm so, so, so sorry I'm late. I got extremely lazy and couldn't find the motivation to finish it. For those of my very few fans that wanted Meiko and Rin to find out about Kaito, I may post an alternate ending sometime after the story is finished. When it will be finished, I have no idea. Haha. Um... yeah, so, again, I'm sorry that it's late and for those of you who stuck around, thank you! I love you all! (btw, that ending is SO cheesy... lol.)
