As a quick summary, this story is going to be a compilation of all the Kinabra I will ever write, starting with the drabbles for Kinabra Fluff Week 2016! Some of these will be in AU and some of them will be in canon, but I don't think the difference really matters too much xD.

Fortunately for you, Kinabra is maybe the one ship that I can't immediately write angst for, so this compilation just be mostly fluff for the most part. I'll probably suffocate myself at some point.

Day one prompt: my first friend.

first and only

It was a debate they always had, and this time she wasn't going to take Sorano for an answer.

It was a debate they always had, and this time she wasn't going to take Sorano for an answer.

"I'm pretty sure that I was your first friend, Erik," Kinana scoffed, pointing her spoon casually over at her maroon-haired classmate. "You didn't talk to anyone when you first moved to this school, and if it wasn't for me, you'd still be that kid that sits and eats alone at lunch."

The other fifth-grader frowned at her, taking a strong bite of the very-stuffed roast beef sandwich that his mother had prepared him.

"Definitely not," he retorted, after chewing and swallowing. "I wasn't shy. Sorano was my first friend. I met her in Mr. Fernandes's science class."

"Yeah right, you liar," Kinana sighed, unable to think of any witty comeback. She rolled her eyes, ducking her spoon back into her bento box and rolling around a cherry tomato.

She didn't mention it, but sometimes it bothered her that the stupid idiot was purposefully mean to her. Of course, they had been friends since second grade so she knew that he didn't have any malice behind his denials and rather trivial arguments with her, but sometimes she just wished that he showed more of the nicer side of him to her when they were together—more than just when she was upset.

"But you knew me for longer," Kinana replied, while at the same time wondering why she was getting herself into another debate with the most stubborn kid she knew on this planet. "And you were my first friend!"

"Yeah but that doesn't mean that you're my first friend."

"We've been friends for three years! That's so long!"

"Well yeah, but you don't count."

She wrinkled her nose, popped the cherry tomato into her mouth. "What do you mean I don't count?"

Erik pursed his lips and took another bite of his sandwich before answering. "Because…I don't know, just because."

"It's because you don't like me, huh? I knew it. I should just go and sit with Laki and her friends instead of coming here to sit with a loser like you," she pouted.

"Hey, no, it's not like that," he corrected, taking a sip from his juice box.

"Then what?"

"I don't know." He shrugged and swallowed, looking silently at his half-eaten sandwich.

"Yeah, so just admit it," she said. "I was your first friend. You don't have to be embarrassed about that."

And as if simply saying the e-word was a cue, Erik's face suddenly flushed pink. He glanced up at her nervously, but she looked back down at her rice.

"What?" she asked, nevertheless, stirring her spoon around at the bottom of the container. She felt a blush creeping up her cheeks as well, and she wasn't completely sure why.

"W-well, I just don't…" and Erik faltered off a little bit before he squeezed his eyes shut and exclaimed, "Well you're not a friend to me!"

Kinana was already flustered, but his words made her heart skip a little bit. "Wha-wha—"

"—You're….you're my best friend," he finished.

And when the words spilled off his lips, his eyes met her for a second, his cheeks a bright red now, before he looked off to the side and ate a small bite of his sandwich.

She blinked, her face the same shade as his.

"So yeah," he repeated. "You're not my first friend, you're my first best friend."

Kinana finally gathered the courage to look up at him. "Y-yeah," she replied back to him. "Me too. Y-you're…you're my first best—"

But then she suddenly stopped in the middle of her words and suddenly narrowed her eyes—

"Hey, what does that mean that I'm your first best friend? I should be your only best friend!"

And as always, let me know what you think! Would love to hear from you!
