*THUD*
Len woke up to an unknown sound coming from outside of his room. he shrugged it off at first- i mean, Rin exists- before he realizes that Rin was staying over at Meiko’s apartment for the night. for some godforsaken reason, his mind immediately went to that purple haired retard who most definitely could not help because he lived 25 blocks away. Still, he scrambled for his phone, ignoring his small puddle of drool that has accumulated on his pillow because why the fuck would he pay attention to it. he squinted at the light coming from the screen and opened Gakupo’s profile and clicked the call button.
realizing the fact that he had already did that, if he were fully awake and in his right mind, he would have clocked the hang up button and block and archive his messages with Gakupo, but because he’s a retard who can’t think straight, especially when he’s half-asleep, he did not.
on the other end, Gakupo was contemplating his life decisions without needing his phone. he had checked it literally minutes before and it was nearing 4 am. he heard his phone vibrate and then the ringtone went off. Len was calling him, as he could tell from the specific ringtone he set for him. he picked up and Len began rambling on and on about ‘thud’ and ‘scared’ and ‘im not safe’.
Gakupo rolled his eyes which Len could practically sense through the screen, which led to him pouting, which the other could most definitely sense through the screen.
“I’m serious!” Len whined. Gakupo chuckled at that.
“But are you sure it wasn’t Rin?” he asked genuinely, with concern. “she most definitely has fallen on the bed multiple times, right?”
“she’s out with Meiko…”
“oh. well shit. good luck with the demon in your house.” he said bluntly.
“Gakupo!! you’re supposed to make me feel better!” he whined and then Gakupo was sure that he heard him jump and shuffle into the corner of his bed.
“is everything okay?”
“im scared…”
Gakupo chuckled and just imagined Len cowering in the corner scared of whatever is ‘lurking’ in the dark. “calm down… im sure its actually nothing.”
Len grumbles something incoherent and there’s a rusting noise coming from his side, probably from him rolling over. “can we call until i fall asleep so im sure its safe…?”
Gakupo rolls his eyes. “we’re going to be bullied by our friends again for being ‘romantic’ again… but sure, whatever helps you sleep at night, literally.”
Len chuckles.
soon he fell asleep with Gakupo on call. voice call. Gakupo silently hoped that next time, it’d be a video call so that he could witness Len drooling in real time because it’s hilarious.
