Programmed to Glow [A KaitoxLen Fanfic]

    "Kaito! Get up, you'll be late!"

    The bluenette was sitting in his bed. He wore only his boxers and a tired expression. He stood from bed and looked at his mirror on the dresser.

   "Damn it... what's wrong with me...?"

   Aki ran up to Kaito barking and tapping his little paws on the floor for attention.
Kaito kneeled down and pet Aki's soft fur.

   "There isn't anything wrong with me loving a boy, right...? And Miku will understand... right...?"

   Aki walked away and came back with his banana chew toy. He dropped the toy in Kaito's lap and started making excited growls.

   "Oh, you don't care, you just want to play because you're a precious baby~!"

   Kaito threw the toy across the room and Aki excitedly ran after the toy to attack it. Kaito laughed before getting up to get dressed.

   "KAITO HURRY THE FUCK UP!!"

    "OK, DAMN MEIKO! STOP YELLING!" Kaito hurriedly finished dressing himself and went downstairs. Meiko was at the table, reading a magazine while drinking coffee.

    "Kiyo's already out in the car. Get some damn toast and hurry up!" She said.

    "Yeah, yeah."

    Kaito put a slice of toast in his mouth then went outside. Kiyoteru was in his car on the phone.

    "No, I told you I can't! My little brother has a soccer game tonight, I gotta be there! ...fine, but after..."

   Kaito got in the passenger seat, unnoticed by Kiyoteru.

   "Alright... I love you too..."

    "Who's that your boyfriend?"

   Kiyoteru jumped and hung his phone up before throwing it in his bag.

   "Kaito?! What?! N-No! That was a friend! Just a friend, why are you even asking?!"

   "You tell your friends you love them?"

   Kiyoteru growled at his brother, who just stuffed his whole toast slice in his mouth, before pulling out the driveway.

   "That's none of your business... did you finish your homework for all your classes?" He asked.

   "I know you have a boyfriend. I saw you two together after school..." Kaito said sternly.

   That caught Kiyoteru off guard. He sucked in a breath and sighed.

   "Damnit... I knew we shouldn't have done it there..." He fixed his glasses. "Do me a favor and don't go telling people about it, ok? I don't need to get in trouble for doing things with my boyfriend on school grounds..."

   Kaito tugged on his seatbelt and stared out the window.

   "Can you stop calling me little...? I'm not a baby anymore..."

    "Why not? You are my little brother!"

    "I'm not a baby! Stop treating me like one I can take care of myself!"

   Kiyoteru glanced at Kaito and made a serious face.

    "Alright... what happened?"

   Kaito groaned and hugged his legs to his chest.

   "Come on, talk to me. Did something happen between you and your girlfriend?"

   Kaito hid his face in his knees.

   "No... not yet at least..." He glanced at Kiyoteru. "Was hard coming out as gay...?"

   "Huh? Kaito, are you gay?"

    "No! I mean... I don't know... I think...? I really don't know... it's complicated..."

   "Ooh, does my little brother have a crush on a boy~?"

   Kaito growled and shot at glare, causing Kiyoteru to laugh.

   "Alright, you don't have to tell me. But I suggest you don't worry about it. Your game is tonight, and I'm sure your team is counting on you,"

    Kaito nodded and laid his head against his seat.

   "I guess..."

   Everyone was hyped about the game today. Len walked through the halls of excited screaming kids after school, holding his breath.

   "I'm really doing this aren't I...?"

   He followed the large march of kids on their way to the soccer field. Some of them were in groups and others were walking by themselves. Len found a spot on the bleachers near the bottom row and sat alone.
The game hadn't started yet. The cheerleaders were still getting the crowd excited while more students and faculty were coming in.

   'Why am I here...? I don't even like Kaito... and I certainly don't these games...! What am I doing...'

   Len was about to leave when two voice called out his name.

   "Hey Len!!"

   Teto and Rin both sat beside him.

   "Ooohh look how rare this is~! Len-Kun is at a soccer game instead of the library~!" Teto said playfully.

   "We should take a picture~! This may never happen again~!" Rin said while hugging Len and nuzzling his cheek.

   Len groaned and pushed his sister away.

  "Shut up! I'm only here because... Miss Yowane was going home early and the library was closed, and I just... had nothing else to do..."

   The girls giggled and ruffled his hair. Then the horn blew. The game was starting. Things got extremely loud when the two teams came out on the field. People stood to applaud, but Len felt himself shrink in his seat.

    'Damn it I'm gonna get such a migraine when this is over....' He thought.

   Len groaned and rubbed his forehead, then his gaze fell across the field. Miku was kissing Kaito good luck. He felt somewhat jealous when he saw that... Miku went back over to the cheerleaders, well more like did a fucking cartwheel toward them. That's when Len felt his heart skip a beat.

   For a mere second, they met eyes. Kaito made a small smile and waved at him. Len found himself slowly smile back and wave.

   "WHOOO GAME TIME LETS GO!! DON'T FUCK IT UP!!" Rin was getting too excited over the game...

   When the game started, Len couldn't help but stare. Kaito was really fast on the field. He looked so focused on it all, as if losing the ball meant losing everything in life.

   Len was practically hypnotized...

   "Geez, look at her!"

    Teto snapped Len out his trance. She was pointing toward Miku, who was putting all the attention she could on herself.

   "I know! She looks like such a slut right now!" Rin stood up again.

   "YO HATSUNE!! PUT A DAMN SWEATER ON!!" She yelled.

   Miku looked back for a second with a pissed off look, but couldn't see who yelled the outburst. Rin sat back down before she could be seen, laughing. Teto and Len couldn't help but laugh too.

   "Rin, she could've seen you!!" Len said with a hand over his mouth.

   "Well it had to be said!"

  A few more laughs went between them. Then a loud yell came from the field. Len looked back, in attempt to see what just happened.

   All he could see was Kaito on the ground, holding his leg and crying out in pain...
