Ch 1

This is just going to be random one, two, and or three shots about Nath and Lila. I'm taking a break from my other story Illusions and Illustrations and considering its back to school updates will be harder to make so I made this to keep you guys happy. I hope you like it! I would have uploaded this on Monday but I was having internet issues. :( Sorry.

The classroom was filled with the static noise of pencil scabbing against paper and the babbling muffled words of the teacher. Lila looked onwards, blinking in boredom and disinterest, her eyes half lidded. She rested the side of her head on her hand, eyes glazed over, and face frozen in a permeant frown. From the corner of her eyes she could see a redheaded boy sketching in his notebook instead of taking notes. The scritch scratch scratch of the pencil against the paper softly echoed in her ears and the smell of furiously rubbed rubber eraser lingered in the stale air of the classroom.

Suddenly he stopped sketching. His eyes shot a side glance at her and she quickly returned her gaze to the science equations written on the board, avoiding his gaze. A few seconds went by and the scratching of pencil against paper resumed. It was sort of soothing Lila thought.

She was about to doze off when something caught the corner of her eye again, it was a slim white piece of paper being pushed towards her. She raised an eyebrow slightly and sent a curious look towards the boy sitting next to her, who merely looked forward studying the numbers and definitions scribbled on the board in front of them with fake interest. Lila let out a tired sigh as curiosity got the best of her; she wanted to know what the hidden contents of the paper where. So she unfolded it and read it silently in her mind.

Do you want to talk about why you look like you're about to murder someone?

Lila frowned and quickly scribbled down a replay before sliding it over back to the redhead.

No.

She hoped the simple replay would be enough to demonstrate she was not in the mood for petty banter and she also hoped that the curt response would be enough to satisfy the boy so he could leave her alone. Not expecting a replay she returned her attention to the front of the classroom, where her crush sat, she frowned at the ache she felt in her chest. She was suddenly brought out of her thoughts, before they could solemnly think back to what had occurred only recently with the whole ladybug incident, as she saw the movement of a little white paper move towards her. She was curious as to what it would entail.

You seem upset.

Lila quietly scoffed and replayed back with a sarcastic response.

No dip Sherlock.

A quiet stifled giggle caught her attention.

"Well someone's grouchy today." A smooth voice said.

She was taken aback by the deep almost sensual voice that came out of the small boy's body. She was expecting a higher pitched voice maybe even a little bit shaky…Now with her full and undivided attention focused on her classmate her brain automatically started memorizing the boy's delicate features.

His skin was a pale pearl white and his hair was a fiery red with long bangs neatly combed to the left side of his face while the rest of his hair gently cascaded down from his scalp to the nape of his neck in messy locks. He had a small button nose, thin lips, and big seafoam colored eyes one of which was concealed by his red veil of hair. Lila could feel her heart pitter patter silently in her chest as it resonated with a slight hum, so as a defensive mechanism her fire wall automatically flared up.

"Shut up, Ariel." She quietly hissed out with a small scowl.

He frowned slightly, clearly ticked off. But, then his frown transformed into another stifled giggle. He turned to face her, lips curved into a small smile like grin while he rested his head on the palm of his pale hand looking at her with slight amusement.

"Did I hit a nerve?" He asked coyly.

Lila was so close to tearing him up into small, cute, bishie pieces. But, her anger was quickly and surprisingly quelled when she saw his coy grin soften into an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry. I get it. I'll leave you alone now." He said politely as he returned his attention back on his sketchbook where he resumed drawing the unfinished sketch.

Lila blinked, not sure how to approach this new situation. On one hand she could drop it and pretend like this never happened…but there was some invisible force that pulled her towards the boy. His fragile looks and polite yet sassy attitude intrigued her. Finally she deiced on what to do. Picking up her pencil and the white scrap piece of paper she began scribbling down a few words before sliding it back over to the redhead, who took it curiously. It read.

Sorry for snapping at you, my name's Lila by the way. Near the corner of the sentence was a little carton fox face with an apologetic grin. Nathanael smiled.

No problem…I probably shouldn't have been so nosy in the first place. My name's Nathanael. You draw really good…

Haha thanks! I can only really draw foxes though, it's my favorite animal. Do you draw?

The question was really just a formality. Lila knew he, Nathanael, could draw as evident of his early unfinished sketch that remained forgotten in his sketchbook. Nathanael replied with a blunt 'yeah.'

Do you think you could draw me something?

Sure, what do you want me to draw…?

Lila pondered the question for a little while…she went with the first obvious answer that popped into her head.

Can you draw me a pin up of Adrien?

Oh my lord! Nathanael's reaction was priceless. Lila thought as she tried to stifle her giggles. His eyes went wide and he did a double take and then he looked at her with a 'really?' face. She just grinned sheepishly and mouthed the word please. He shook his head 'no' with a slightly disgusted look. She pouted and fluttered her eyelashes, and quietly mumbled out a please…Nathanael blinked and he shook his head 'no' again but with less ferocity than the first time. Lila noticed his growing weakness and decided to quiver her lips and look at him with big puppy dog eyes until he gave in. Nathanael's face was slightly red now and he mumbled a quite 'ok.' Lila giggled at how cute he was. She quickly scribbled a 'thanks' on the piece of paper. He replied with a snarky 'shut up.' Lila decided to tease him a bit.

Your face is REALLY red.

It's just hot in here that's all!

Sure it is…

It's the truth! He persisted and Lila just giggled. This was the start of a beautiful friendship.

That's it Hope you liked it I wan inspired by a drawing on tumblr so that's where this story came from. R&R please.
