People who are reading my other story "A Pirate's Life for Me"…I am so very sorry, I got this idea and it wouldn't leave and it was distracting, and in the end I ended up working on this then finishing the next chapter. I heavily apologize, but I hope this makes up for it.
Full title
Past the Borderline of Best Friends, next stop Ganymede
Seto and Crow were a pair that everyone considered an unlikely friendship. It had started in the first grade, when Ms. Chiyo's first grade class had been working on hand made Valentine Day cards before snack time, the elderly woman had told them that they could do what the wanted on their cards and only supervised to make sure no one was eating glitter, cutting someone's hair (Or trying to, safety scissors didn't cut well), or shoving glue up their nose and squeezing the bottle. So she wasn't at all surprised to see the trouble maker of her class, Crow, spilling copious amounts of glitter over some poor child's glue covered card. It made her a little angry when she noticed that said poor child was one of her favorites, sweet little red haired Seto.
When she confronted the young black haired boy, he said that he had 'only been trying to help', but the teacher didn't buy that and made him apologize to Seto, and made him work at the desk in the Bad Corner until recess. Snack time came after that, and during that time all of the hand made cards were given to other children in the class. The girls passed out overly decorated pink and red hearts while most of the boys passed out green or blue hearts with their current favorite TV hero or monster, but to Ms. Chiyo two boys stood out from everyone. She was surprised to see Crow and Seto standing away from the group.
Right after they had gotten inside, Crow had grabbed the red head's hand and pulled him away from the group, leaving Seto feeling confused. Then he pulled a white heart cut with the fancy safety scissors with waves on the blades with random bits of glitter and stickers scattered around. But in the center in big, red lettered stencil hand writing it read I'M SORRY, with a small red heart around the words. The valentine was pretty much shoved into Seto's chest before Crow ran off, and Seto stood there until the teacher told the class to go back to their seats because they were going to work on cursive today, and since Crow sat on the other side of the room Seto really didn't have the chance to ask him about it. It wasn't until the end of the day when Crow went to his cubby he noticed a large gathering of glitter right in front of his alone, and setting on top of his little bag was a sloppily cut, smooth edge heart that was almost completely glitter (glitter was falling off it and it wasn't moving!). Picking it up, more glitter fell off revealing shiny lines of dried glue and a red base of paper. It was what was glued to the top, somehow not falling off with the glitter that caught his eye though. A slip of white paper, with a sloppily written message in thin blue marker. It read 'Thank you for helping me!'.
The next morning in class, Crow sat next to Seto and would not move, no matter how many times Ms. Chiyo told him to go back to his own seat, until the poor old woman finally gave up and went on teaching class. The two after that were inseparable, however now in their sophomore year of high school people didn't think of their friendship so much as unlikely as…well, their friend Ren (whom they met in fifth grade), really put it best at the start of their sophomore year in the summer.
"Honestly, why don't you two just kiss and get it over with?" Ren was not the first, and certainly not the last person to realize how the two boys acted around each other was past the borderline of friendship. The way Crow always seemed to find joy in the random moments he made Seto blush, or when parting ways to different classes would kiss the other boy's hand or the way they would hold hands walking to classes they shared, or the general possessiveness he showed over Seto? The fact that Seto put up with all of this, happily even, how sometimes out of nowhere in class Seto would take Crow's hand, the fact that he worried like Crow was dying over even the tiniest scratch? That wasn't just past the borderline of friendship, it had crossed over six oceans on a trip to Ganymede (A star 390,019,410 miles away, for those who don't know) into the land of Idiocy to the province of Obliviously in Love.
She says oblivious, because neither boy seems aware, no matter how Ren phrases it, or draws (terrible) diagrams, or explains it in the simplest way that she knew. The boys look at her like she's crazy whenever she does this, but she knows she's not. She may be the only one verbally trying to show them, but she wasn't the only one who noticed, she didn't know who all did (she knew some), but she knew that she wasn't alone in the fact that she knew Crow and Seto loved each other…she just wished she wasn't the only one ever trying to explain it.
