Nayru's Rants: After going over the plot of this fic with Nemi, I decided against all her perverted ideas and came up with this. ^^ It's not much, but hey, this is only the beginning of a series of teeny-weeny short stories. Bear with me.
"You love her."
He turned to look at his friend, his bottle green eyes questioning.
"Who are you talk-.. Oh." A pause. "No, I don't."
The red-head rolled over on his four poster and got up, shortened the distance between the two and sat down so they were facing eachother. Again their eyes met. "Do too."
"OK, I do."
A smirk.
"As a friend only."
It vanished.
"I know it's more than that."
The first boy rolled his eyes and gave up trying to concentrate on his Transfiguration homework. He flung himself down against the fluffy pillows and sighed.
"You think you know. You're wrong. I really don't love her that way."
"Then why did you just sigh and tell a horrible lie, which-"
Protests. Silenced by a hand over a mouth.
"Which..." He paused. "I know you did because I can tell when you're lying."
The hand left the mouth and the second boy got up from the bed and flung himself down on his own. "It's no use trying to cover it up. I know you love her."
"I don't, OK?!" He sighed in frustration. "What the hell can I say to convince you that I don't?"
"There's nothing really. I know you love her."
"OK, fine, I love her. There, you have it."
"AHA! I finally got you to admit it!" A lop-sided grin. "Would you mind sharing?"
"What?" He shook his head. "I meant; What?!"
"Well, it isn't really a secret that I fancy her too, right? And I know she's attracted to the both of us. I mean, we've gone on and off, and when you two're together you both blush till it seem you're burning up. So, you mind sharing?"
The disbelieving stare slowly turned both devious and excited.
"Knew you could be bad." The red-head grinned. "How we going about this then? I mean, she is our best friend."
"Well..." They both turned abruptly at the sound of the object of conversation. She was standing, hands on hips, grinning mischieviously. "Maybe telling me would be a good idea?"
A slender eyebrow raised and the once-bushy-now-sleek chocolaty brown hair was flung over a shoulder. "But I guess the cat's out of the bag, huh?"
She stalked over to them, standing between the beds. Both boys jumped up from them and closed in on her. She sighed, strongly resembling the know-it-all that critized them about their homework.
Peering from around her, they caught eachother's eyes and nodded, both grinning, then launched themselves on her.
"Hey, don't tickle!" She protested between giggles and they all collapsed on one of the beds, the two boys pinning her between them.
"Human sandwich."
A muffled giggle and then a sigh of contentment as skin made contact with skin.
"Not that I mind..."
OOC: Guess guessing wasn't that hard here, huh? This was solely written for my enjoyment, but since I kind of found it fun, a decision of posting it here came to mind. Reviewing would always make my life so much more worth living. Oh, and thanks for reading.
