A/N: Hey there, brave person who chose to read this fanfic! I'm writing this to help me study with finals as I explained on my profile. This one is like an extended drabble. Kind of nonsensical but it all ties together in some way.

Anime/Manga: DNAngel

Pairing: Satoshi x Risa

Genre: Friendship/Humor

Rated: T because I like swearing and making sexual jokes because I'm immature.

Chapter One: Affix

Affix - a word element that is attached to a base, stem, or root.

Risa tapped her foot to a silent beat and hummed along while twirling around her pencil. She was supposed to be studying during free period for her math midterm coming up but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She came up with excuses such as "it's too hard" and "I can just do it later, it's not like cramming never worked before". She let out a heavy sigh and glanced at her companion.

Satoshi was sitting in the desk in front of her and she craned her neck to see what he was up to. As usual, he was reading a book. She didn't care what book he was reading but it was a good enough distraction for her to take a break from "studying".

"Hey, Hiwatari?" She was met with silence and tried again. "Hiwatari, can I ask you a question?" This time, she earned a response but it was barely noticeable, what with the way he shifted slightly in her direction.

"Harada, by asking me if you can ask me a question is a question in itself." He said without looking back at her.

"Ugh… You're just so… Ugh!" She grumbled. "Anyway, I was gonna ask you what you were reading."

"A book." Came his quick reply.

She sighed in exasperation. "Yeah, I know that! I mean, what book are you reading?" She leaned over her desk and propped up her elbows, settling her face in her hands.

"Hm." He hummed.

"Gah!" She threw her hands up in annoyance. "Why do I even bother?"

"Indeed, that is the question. Why do you bother me?"

"Duh, because we're friends, silly! And it's my job to bother you." She crossed her arms in triumph, as if she had won a grand prize. She then leaned forward so she was practically laying on her desk to read the page Satoshi was on. She began to read aloud, "'Affix: a word element that is...' Hey! You're reading a dictionary!" If she wasn't a pacifist, she would have smacked him upside the head because of just how "ugh" he was being at present.

"Yes, it appears so." He responded, his gaze flicking to the next page.

The bell rang, signaling the end of free period as well as the end of school. Risa stood, quickly gathering her things together and smiled at the fact that she didn't have to study. Most of the students had left right when the bell rang, as they were mindlessly chatting with each other. She spotted Riku and Daisuke, holding hands as they exited the classroom. Risa's grin grew wider.

"You know Hiwatari," She began, thinking back to the word she read on the page. "I'm kind of like your affix." She said thoughtfully.

"How?" He turned in his seat, finally looking at her, a brow arched in question.

"Well, you're like the base and I am rather attached to you." She smiled down at him and gave him a little wave, then followed the trail of the rest of her classmates.

A few minutes went by and all Satoshi did was stare blankly at the spot where she had stood. The corners of his mouth twitched upwards.

A/N: Thanks for reading! Until the next chapter~
