A/N: Heyy(: This is my second account on fanfiction, since I abandoned my first account, so this isn't my first fanfic. I normally don't write prequels, so don't hate my super short and failed chapter D: /cry. I know it sucks! Just don't rub it in, okay? This literally took me 15 minutes to write, and I was low on muse. So yeah, other than that, enjoy~ c:

Prequel: A Little More Than Friends

We were friends for seven years, but it's the first time I've felt this way about her. The way I smile when she smiles, the way I care about every single detail. Yes, I am in love with Rin Kimura. Not that she has a single clue. We're best friends after all, along with Miki and Kaito. They don't know I love her either. Things would just get awkward if they knew- they would probably play cupid and mess around with us. I also don't want to risk confessing to her, because if she rejected, our friendship would be ruined. I sigh longingly. Suddenly, I hear giggling. More specifically, Rin's giggling. I snap back to reality. I am in the middle of my weekly Japanese class that I take with her.

Ah crap.

"Uh... What..?" I mumble, pretending to be tired and confused.

"Oh nothing," Rin teases. She punches me playfully, "Was the teacher being so boring that you had to stare at the wall behind her to keep yourself entertained?" She bursts out laughing. I start laughing as well, not sure if it was because of what she just said, or because her laugh is extremely contagious. Meh, it's probably both.

After Japanese class, Rin begs me to walk her home. "Cmon... I don't want pedophiles stalking me," she says, half-joking. She looks at me hopefully.

Of course, I want to walk her home, since it's getting dark outside and we get to walk alone, but I try to sound reluctant as I say, "Okay, okay." She smiles gratefully.

As we walk along the streets, side by side, Rin randomly links arms with me. Impulsively, I try to pull away, hoping that she'll hang on to me. She does. "Why are you..." I start to say, but she just grins and pretends to be admiring the plain houses around us. I smile a little as we continue to walk. I guess it's just the little things that makes you the happiest.

A/N: That's it!? Yep. Sometimes I wonder why I bother publishing something that people can finish reading in a minute. THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE LONGER, I SWEAR D: /facedesk. Cmon muse, come back, I LOVE YOU :c I'm not even going to ask for reviews/favourites/subs because I know this chapter isn't worth it /shot. :c

xo, Ashee~
