Kay: Forgive me for posting such a stupid lame story...

Lin: Hm...That's a first.

Kay: Warning to all: this story pretty much sucks so please bear with it.

Lin: It's a one-shot though. Well anyway, she created a fluffy story that I will never get so...yeah.

Kay: We are Disclaiming Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z. We're not rich.

Lin: Well said.

He didn't really know when it actually started. The only thing he remembers clearly is that one time they both got locked in that stupid, God forsaken janitor's closet.

That day, it was his time to clean the classroom. Boomer and Butch—or should he say Chris and Shin, already went home. Chris offered to help him but he refused, saying that his cleaning partner would show up.

Bad choice.

Turned out his partner had a cold and couldn't come to school, and so another person had to replace him. Of all the people it had to be her. Brick—Aki, he should really remember using that name more often now—wanted to curse his luck. Sure teasing the Powerpuffs is fun and all but he just wanted to get this task done and go home. Besides, Momoko had a knack for yapping the day out.

Nothing could be more exciting than that. He rolled his eyes at the thought.

"I'm here!" Speak of the devil. Aki winced when he heard her screech—it was in his opinion, a screech and nobody could make him change his opinion of that.

He hear Momoko let out an audible gasp of surprise and saw her pointing an accusatory finger at him. He looked at her and raised a brow. She was pointing her finger at him like he was some kind of criminal.

Ah. Oh yeah. He was a criminal.

"What the hell are you pointing at?" He asked annoyed. Momoko continued to sputter incoherent words and kept pointing her finger at him.

"Y-y-y-you're Brick!" She exclaimed. Aki could feel a vein throbbing on his forehead.

"Baka! Of course I'm Brick! We're classmates you idiot!" He exclaimed, raising a fist at the red Powerpuff.

"We are?" She cocked her head to the side and rubbed her chin. Brick almost slipped. How dense can this girl get?

"You mean you haven't noticed us at all?!" Aki wanted to desperately punch himself, why didn't he just make-up a lame excuse?

Momoko shook her head and blinked at him. Aki sighed. "Let's just get this stupid classroom clean so I could go home."

"Okay!" She replied cheerfully.

How come when she's in her Powerpuff form she's more fun to irritate?

She started humming an annoying overplayed song he hears on the radio almost everyday, an overplayed piece of crap that should not be played ever again. He tried to cover his ears or shove his hat but her voice was loud. He wasn't saying she sounded bad but that didn't mean that she's a good singer.

"Would you shut up? I'm trying to clean here! Peacefully and quietly!" He snapped at her.

Momoko puffed her cheeks and pouted at him before continuing her humming. Aki would have loved to strangle the red head then and there, but really who was he kidding? This was a public place, he can't go on transforming into Brick or the people around the school will freak if they saw him beating up a defenseless girl.

Not that she's really defenseless at all, and besides it would be troublesome in the long run.

"Hey, can you pass me the rag?" He heard her ask.

He ignored her and continued to sweep the floor.

"Hey I'm talking to you!" Again he ignored her. Before he can sweep another dust he felt something hard connect with his head. He fell face flat on the floor with a big bump forming on the back of his head.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" Aki exploded clutching his injured head and the other hand gripping the board eraser.

"That's what you get for ignoring me!" Momoko huffed and crossed her arms.

The Rowyduff growled. Now he really, really, really wanted to crush her bones. But he had to restrain himself. "Shit..."

"Let's take this back to the janitor's closet." Momoko picked up her cleaning tools and instructed the other to do the same. Aki sighed and picked up his own equipment then followed her out of the room begrudginly.

Through the whole way to the closet, Aki kept muttering threats and insults under his breath. Either Momoko didn't hear him or she just chose to ignore him—he was betting on not hearing, it was impossible for her to ignore insults. He would've been thrown across the school if she heard him.

When they arrived Aki shoved his things in the closet. It was a very small room, all the tools were cramped in.

He clapped his hands together and smirked to himself. At last that was done! When he turned his back on the stuffed equipments, everything from the shelf fell with a loud clatter on the ground.

"That's a nice way to be organized." Momoko snickered. Aki shot her a glare but she just smiled sweetly at him. He picked up the stuff and started to place them back in the closet.

"Oi, what're you doing?" He asked Momoko when she picked up one of the gear and placed it neatly on the shelf. She raised a brow at him then puffed her cheeks.

"Helping. Wasn't that obvious enough?"

Aki stared at her. If she helped then he could go home a lot faster and never see her face again, except on battles...and on school days.

Yeah, okay so he'd still see her everywhere but at least he'd get his peace and quiet right after this.

"Fine..." He raised his arms in defeat. He went in the closet with her and started to pick up the fallen equipment.

Momoko looked back at the door and saw that the lock was busted from the inside. Better not close the door at all, she thought.

When she was about to warn the other about the lock, Aki slipped on a rag. Flailing ang trying to reach something for balance, he reflexively reached for the nearest thing that he could grab. Unfortunately that 'thing' was Momoko.

Another unfortunate event is that Momoko could not support Aki's fall and was hence brought down with him.

Unknown to the two, the hoodie of his jacket got caught on the busted door knob which pulled the door as the two fell, shutting it close.

Aki could just curse the Gods why they hated him so much. Good thing there was something to soften his fall.

Wait. What? Soften his fall?

He wasn't able to think after that.

He was tangled with her in a very awkward position. His pushed himself a little from her; he didn't really have any space. He saw that she hit the shelf and had a little bump on her head.

Thank you karma!

But he was still in an uncomfortable situation so he couldn't thank the heavens fully just yet.

Momoko opened her eyes and the first thing she felt was the bump on her head. Then the next thing was that someone was leaning on her, and that someone was heavy! Then, she saw Aki staring at her.

"W-what...? HEY! GET OFF!" She pushed the red head off of her and kicked the boy on the stomach.

Aki felt the air knocked out of him. He rubbed his stomach and glared at the girl in front of him. She in return glared back at him. "You didn't have to kick me!"

"Shut up! Because of you we're both locked in this stupid crammed up closet!" She tried standing up but bumped her head on the shelf again.

Locked in?

Aki looked at the door and surely he saw the lock was busted. He tried turning the knob and pushing but because of the lack of space, he couldn't put much force to open it.

"Stop squishing me!" She complained.

Of course, if you don't have enough space you end up pushing the other.

He huffed at her and glared at the door. "Let me try." She said pushing him back.

"Hey!"

Momoko tried to budge the door open and yelled for help, no one heard the girl's shout for help though.

"No! My sister is going to eat all of those octopus wieners!" She exclaimed like it was the end of the world. Aki felt another vein tick on his forehead.

"Will you shut up?! Stop complaining, I thought you were the leader of the Powerpuffs?" He hissed.

"I am!"

"Then act like one! Someone will surely come, geez!" Aki let out a frustrated sigh.

But really it wasn't just because of her whining that made the young boy frustrated.

He squirmed from his position. Both of them were facing one another. Both of them were squished together like a can of sardines. He didn't feel comfortable when he accidentally brushed his hand on her chest. Good thing she didn't notice because she was busy positioning her feet in a more comfortable manner.

He also didn't like the way both their hips were brushing together. This was just to close for comfort. To add to his unbelievable luck, the things on the shelf kept pushing him towards her.

The only good part about this was that she was as uncomfortable as he was.

Misery does love company, you know.

When the equipment got to heavy, he had to support himself, resulting in pinning Momoko on the door.

"H-Hey, are you all right?" She asked. He didn't want to answer. The tools were getting heavier by the minute to him. When he thought he'd fall with the tools toppling over them, the door opened, sending both of them down again.

This time, though, he really ran out of luck.

His eyes were wide and so was Momoko's. Both their lips crashed together. He could feel his cheeks getting warmer by the second.

He was too stunned to even move or blink.

When both of their senses came back, they pulled away from each other hurriedly and made funny faces and gagging actions.

"EEEEWWWWW! YUCK! BLARGH!" Aki exclaimed trying to wipe his lips vigorously.

"NOOOOOO! MY FIRST KISS TO A JERK AND IT HAD TO BE HIM!" She wailed gagging invisible vomit.

Both of them ran at the opposite side to find the rest room.

When Aki entered, he hurriedly leaned on the door and ruffled his hair, his hat forgotten with the rest of his chores. He touched his lips and remembered how it felt.

How much he hated it. How much he wanted to deny it. How much he wanted to rewind the whole thing and push her off the building.

It felt really good.

He scratched his already messy head and screamed. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!"

Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z

Four years, and both of them were still in the same class. They really never communicated—except when fighting then they'd both taunt each other.

With those four years a lot has happened.

Miyako and Chris hooked up with each other. Nobody knew how, nobody knew when. All of them just noticed the two blonde's intimate interaction with each other. Everyone actually expected them to be together sooner or later. It was just logical since both have been very friendly towards one another (and suspiciously very close).

A while after that, Shin made his move with Kaouru. That wasn't the easiest hook up, at all. Both of them are hot headed and stubborn but in the end they accepted each other. Although, everyday they would fight about nonsensical stuff and minor details, and that is one thing Aki hated about their relationship.

With that hook up the Rowdyruff boys announced their retirement on being villains. Aki was more on the reluctant side, but because he loved his two friends like brothers—although, he would die first before admitting that—he condescended.

Momoko didn't really hook up with anyone. And Aki the same

Aki thought that after that incident with the closet—he chose to never refer to that incident ever again—his luck would return but the Gods might just have a grudge on him.

Their teacher assigned a project for them. Just a simple one that a single person can do but their teacher wanted all of his students to get to know each other more.

Both he and Momoko stood up to protest when they got paired up.

"No, all partners are final. It would be unfair to the other students if I grant your wish." The teacher fairly judged. Both red heads stomped to their seats and scowled at the teacher.

"So?" Momoko asked resting her chin on her palm. Both were face-to-face like the other partnered students. Kaouru was the lucky one. The teacher thought that she and Shin were enemies so he paired them together.

"So, what?" Aki yawned and hid his face behind his cap. He was obviously trying to sleep.

"Where are we going to do this project? It's obviously just a one-nighter thing." She rolled her eyes at him. "Why don't we just do it in your house? You live alone right?"

"Why not yours instead?" He whined lifting his hat from his face then pouted at her.

"Do you want to be bugged by a hyperactive kid, and parents who thinks everyone is nice and cute?" She asked raising a brow.

"I guess...not." He sighed. "Fine my house then. After school."

Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z

"Wow, who knew you could be clean?" Momoko hugged a pillow from Aki's bed.

"Haha, very funny. Let's get to work I wanna go to bed early." He snorted.

Both picked up their books and leafed through its pages. Aki would once in a while look up at her then quickly turn his attention back to the book. He noticed how cute she looked when she would scrunch up her nose and give an annoyed sigh, or how adorable she looked when she bit the end of her pen.

He just can't take it anymore.

"Will you stop that?!" He exploded slamming his book on his bed. Momoko looked up at him like he was crazy.

"Stop what? I didn't do anything!" She frowned slamming her book on the bed too.

"I just can't stand this anymore!" He shouted before launching himself at her. The first thing that came to Momoko's mind was to turn into Blossom and defend herself, but when she felt his lips on hers she couldn't think of anything at all.

Aki's body just acted on its own. He didn't have anything to do with it. He mentally cursed himself; the Gods really did hate him. When he parted from the kiss he looked at Momoko's reaction. Her eyes were wide and her mouth kept opening and closing.

Ah. How adorable, she was even blushing.

"Stop that. You look like a fish." He teased, but before she could retaliate he kissed her again.

Damn.

He missed that feeling.

He was surprised when he could feel her kissing him back. He broke the kiss and raised an inquisitive brow.

"W-w-why?" She asked a bit breathless and her cheeks a bit more red.

"Hell, I don't know so don't even ask me." He moved from kissing her lips to nibbling the base of her neck. She bit her bottom lip to refrain from moaning, but it still slipped out.

"Mou, you have annoying habits." He growled.

"W-what?"

"Stop that moaning."

"Why? It's not like it's voluntary you know." She pouted at him.

"Because..." He came closer to her face. "If you keep that up I don't think I want to stop at all." Then he kissed her again.

Kay: Again, forgive me for posting this.

Lin: Geez! Stop apologizing already!

Kay: I'm also sorry for the spelling and grammar. I just had to get this plot out of my head. Again, I'm sorry.

Lin: I'm getting sick of all the apology. Geez!
