A/N : I'm starting a collections of D18's long drabbles, and here's the first chapter (: Requests are opened for this collections ~! :D

"Doesn't he look so cute?"

Glare.

"Aw, I have an urge to hug him!"

Bite.

"I've decided; I'm so going to make him my boyfriend!"

Munch.

"Ah, he's the perfect guy for me!"

Glare.

"Concentrate on eating your bread and stop glaring at people." He heard his best friend mutter softly. He turned to face the silver-haired male, obviously displeased.

Swallowing the bread, he uncapped his bottle of plain water as he finally took his eyes off the crowd of classmates that he was glaring at before. "They just can't stop talking about him, and they are even publicly declaring their love for him when he's just sitting in the corner!" he hissed lowly, ensuring that nobody heard him except for the person sitting beside him.

"Then, Dino, can you just stop thinking about them talking about him, and–" He took a quick glance at who was sitting in the corner; it was Hibari Kyoya "-you didn't even give the slightest hint that you're crushing on him."

"Squalo, you don't get-"

"Sure, I really don't get why you always panic when you see that herbivore-hating guy, and sometimes, your face turns red like a ..."

"Apple."

"No, tomato. And lastly, I don't get why you can't tell him that you like him when you tell me that almost every thirty minutes."

Standing up from his seat, he sighed as he stared at his blonde friend. No, he didn't want to hear anymore explanations or excuses.

"Alright, whatever. Just pack your stuff and get to the art room already; it's time. You are always late." Squalo pushed Dino's books and files into the white bag when he saw how his friend panicked again after he noticed the time. Thank god that he, Squalo, wasn't an art student.

Dino nodded before he ran out of the room, and smiled sheepishly as he attempted to turn back to wave at Squalo. "See you after school– argh!"

Squalo turned away when he saw Dino run into a wall.

He really didn't have anything left to say about his stupid friend.

Upon hearing the door close, he supposed that Dino was already running to the art room. Tch. He was going to get another earful from the teacher. Turning to his own books that were on the table, he saw a green file lying on the floor near the door. Judging from the art drawings that flew out from it, he didn't need to go near it to know that it belonged to Dino.

As he sighed, he walked to the door– wait.

He saw the raven-haired teen picking up the green file and papers as he left the classroom. He forgot, the always silent guy was an art student too.

"Ah." He predicted that Dino would be saying more about Hibari than usual after school.

After turning to his right, he immediately stopped in his tracks. Ah, geez. Cavallone, be more alert. To go to the art room, you must turn left!

Damn, that pineapple teacher was always picking on him after he stupidly blurted out the taboo word; 'pineapple'. If he were to be late again, he would be dead. Cavallone's death. Not even Squalo could save him.

Dino had his fingers running through his golden hair in frustration as he turned hastily, nearly knocking into the person that was standing very close to him...

Gosh.

Hibari Kyoya.

"A-A-Ah, K-Kyoya!" Seeing a frown on the other person's face, he panicked. Was he blushing like an apple- no, tomato again? "You are looking- Ah no, nice to meet you for the first- wait, uh."

Cavallone, you... idiot.

He could hear sniggering come from somewhere behind him and Hibari but he was just too anxious to even look.

"You dropped your file."

Dino stared at his file, and shifted his vision back to Hibari. "T-T-Thanks! We're going to be late for our art lesson, aren't we?" He laughed, trying to initiate a conversation as naturally as he could.

The raven-haired teen just nodded his head slightly as he turned and continued walking to the left, taking the correct route to the art room. "Since we're walking the same way, l-let's walk together!" Dino immediately rushed to Hibari's side, walking beside him nervously as he took his file back. He held his file tightly.

Gosh, he swore that he wasn't going to wash this file. Ever.

"You."

"Y-Yes...!"

"Don't call me that."

"Wh-What?"

"Kyoya."

"O-Oh...! Why?"

"... Just don't."

"Eh, why?"

Squalo looked at Dino and Hibari's retreating backs, and sniggered at how persistent Dino was.
