Chapter 6 - Eavesdropping

~Oliver's POV~

The time spent waiting for Len to wake up was...uneventful, to say the least.

After Gumi and I...kissed, we spent the rest of the time talking about random topics. Not really anything to brag about, or anything fascinating to tell about.

"Urgh...." Len groaned softly as he raised a hand to his forehead, seeming a bit pained.

"Oh, Len." I looked down at the blond.

Len looked up at me, taking a moment to blink before he spoke. "What...the hell?"

I tilted my head to the side. "What?"

"What the hell, is that?!" He pointed at Gumi, who was currently sitting on my lap and facing me. I had completely forgotten that she was doing that for some strange reason.

"Oh, right." I waved Gumi off of me, to which she pouted and whined softly, but then promptly went to sit next to me, wrapping her arms around my own arm. "Apparently...Gumi and I got together."

"...Together together?" Len asked, a bit dumbfounded and confused.

"Yep~!" Gumi called out, shooting Len a mischievous smirk that I didn't notice at that time.

Len just rolled his eyes. "Great," he spat. "Better not do anything weird or some shit like that."

I flinched. "N-no way."

"What? That's unfair!" Gumi pouted, tugging on my arm slightly. "Why would we listen to him?"

"W-well for one, I'm only fifteen. F-for two, I-I still have to work and all that, so...." I trailed off, a light blush dusting my cheeks.

Gumi sighed loudly. "Fine...."

"Wow, such lovebirds, hmm?" Len hissed, crossing his arms. "Anyway, that bitch gave me some weird shit to drink and here you two are arguing about when you're gonna fuck? Yeah, totally how I wanted to come to."

I flinched violently, blushing harshly. "W-we're not gonna fuck!" I shouted, covering my face with my hands.

"Why not?" Gumi whined, grabbing my arm. "We're dating now, so it's fine!"

"B-but I'm fifteen!" I repeated, looking to Len for help.

"Congratulations," Len spat, "and I'm seventeen. Now please, shut the fuck up."

Gumi huffed, holding onto my arm as she glared at Len, who in turn glared back.

"P-please don't fight...." I mumbled, sighing heavily. I looked over at Len, and Gumi's words echoed in my mind.

"I'm thinking he's developing feelings for you."

I shook my head rapidly, blushing even darker. No way, no way, no way, no way, no way! Stop thinking about that, Oliver! There's more important things at the moment!

"Ollie? You okay?" Gumi asked, giving me a concerned look.

I nodded quickly. Too quickly. "Y-yeah, I'm fine...." I looked away, still blushing. Damnit, why couldn't I focus?!

"Alright...." Gumi didn't pry, which I was thankful for, but she just tightened her grip on my arm.

"Hey, Gumdrop or whatever your name was, could I talk to you for a second? Privately?"

I tilted my head slightly when Len asked to talk to Gumi. He didn't seem happy, so I was a bit worried.

"Aw, but I don't wanna talk to you, Lenny~!" Gumi grinned, laughing. "Yeah, that's your nickname now."

"Fuck you. It's not." Len scowled, finally standing up. "Just hurry your ass up."

"Tha—" Gumi was about to make a bad joke, so I quickly cut her off with a concerned glare.

She huffed and followed Len, letting go of my arm.

Once the two of them were out of sight, I was left alone. It was really boring, and my curiosity got the best of me, so I ended up eavesdropping in on their conversation.

Yeah, yeah, I know it's rude. But I couldn't help it! I was so bored, and Len shouldn't be keeping secrets. He needs to trust me. Besides, how will they let him go if he still keeps things from them? And me especially!

"Listen," Len growled, pointing a finger at Gumi, "I don't know what the hell happened when I was knocked out, but that sure doesn't give you the right to do all that weird shit while I'm here. So don't even think about it."

"What? Is someone jealous?" Gumi teased, grinning at Len. In the blink of an eye, her expression changed to innocent. "I have no idea what you're talking about~!"

"Hell no." The blond crossed his arms, glaring daggers at Gumi. He sure looked pissed.... This was a weird conversation, though....

Gumi giggled. "Then why do you care what we do? It's not like you have to watch or anything."

Len winced just at the thought of that. "Disgusting," he spat. "I don't wanna have to hear it either, you bitch."

"Well, I guess you're right there...."

I flinched. W-what the hell?! Why would he need to talk in private about this?! I told him we're not gonna do that—!

"But listen, you've already lost. I don't think it would even matter what you do at this point. Oliver loves me. Not you. Give it a rest."

I flinched again. "Wha...t?" I mumbled quietly to myself. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! There's no possible way that Len...loves me! That's just.... That's just gross! We're both guys, and I...I have a girlfriend now! Y-yeah, there's no way!

"Shut up," Len mumbled. It was so quiet I could barely hear it. No. The voices.... They're back.... I can't hear anything anymore....

I quickly stumbled away, clutching my ears. "Please die down...." I mumbled repeatedly, shutting my eyes tightly.

After a moment, all of the voices went quiet but one. One single voice was left.

"So, what are you going to do about me and Oliver then?" I could hear Gumi still talking with Len from the other room. It was strangely loud....

"I...."

The voices grew louder again, but with another beg, they went silent once more.

"I don't know...." Len hissed. "I don't know, and I don't care. Just shut up and leave me alone." What Len said.... I didn't believe it. The single voice was making my head pound.

"I'll kill her."
