Narrator here! In an effort to kick-start my muse, I've taken on a drabble-challenge from LiveJournal, called 20 Aus. Basically, I will be writing 20 drabbles for the SDK couple Akira and Yuya set in an Alternate Universe. I've chosen the SDK Gakuen Drama-CD Universe, which was created by Akimine-sensei for promotional reasons (and because having all of the SDK cast in high school is just freakin' hilarious, I'm sure.)

So, just to make sure ya'll are on the same page as me - the setting is modern-day high school in Japan. Akira, Yuya, Kyo, Bon, Akari, Hotaru, Tora, etc. are all schoolmates. By the by, if you can find any of the drama CDs, I recommend listening to them, they're a scream! (especially Akari)

Disclaimer: I don't own SDK. Hell, I don't even own a copy of the drama CD I'm basing this off of! (starts sobbing)

Uncaring

20 Aus Theme #6: And You?

"Not again…"

She sighs in frustration as Kyo and Bon start yet another one of their ridiculous arguments over who is whose servant. As if Kyo could ever be anyone's servant!

"Don't try to stop them."

"I know better than that," she lies, sounding nonplussed. "I just wish lunch hour could be quieter. Why couldn't those idiots skip school today like they always do?"

"Admit it - you missed Kyo."

Her breath catches - I've hit the mark dead-on (not that it took much). "N-no way! Like I care if I never see some deadbeat who takes my money and calls me "dog-face" and "servant" ever again!"

It's cute, the way she gets so flustered when she's in denial. She is used to being completely open and honest, the "heart-on-the-sleeve" type; lying about her feelings for someone, even someone she doesn't (want to) realize she cares about, always trips her up.

No wonder Kyo has so much fun teasing her.

"Oh for…!"

She's up out of her seat in spite of her bold declaration, the only one in the classroom moving toward the combatants, the only one telling them to "knock it off!" instead of encouraging them.

They stop, of course. Bon, because he's soft-hearted (and soft-headed); Kyo, because he's always ready to have her amuse him (and because she matters).

"Oooo, is Akira-chan jealous?"

Akari - you never know when she's lurking about, with her too-sharp skills of observation.

Dammit to Hell.

"What are you talking about." That's a mistake - now she KNOWS she's right.

"Well now, what might I be talking about…" I'm doomed. If I deny what she already knows, it will be that much more of an important tool for blackmail.

But if I admit the truth…

"Like I care."

She's silent - she knows she's right, she knows I know it and that she's won (she always wins), thus she sees no need in wasting any more energy.

For now.

Like I care.

Muahaha - Writing a jealous Akira-kun's more fun than I thought! (runs off to write Yuya's part)
