Crushing a Crush

By: Finger Lickin Good

Disclaimer: Kairi owns her love for Riku, and Riku owns his "feelings" for her. I own how they express them toward each other. Haha

Chapter one: OH TO JOY

You know what the problem with dating is? Listening. When you don't listen to your partner they start to get . . . angry with you. I know this not from past problems, but Kairi got the impression that I, Riku, had a crush on her, Kairi. I think Sora was in on it, but then again he's the one with the shrine . . . Anyway, so Kairi thought that since she "knew" that I had "feelings" for her, that she would make a quiz like thing and read it off to me . . . Confused? To clear it up a bit, it went like this...

Kairi: walks up to Riku with paper

Riku: looks at her weird due to the fact that he was eating

Now that the setting is up, this is what was said . . .

"Hey Riku," Kairi said walking with her hands behind her back.

"...Hi?" I replied with a slight tilt to my head and a confused expression.

"Hmm. Riku do you mind answering a few things for me?" Kairi said just when I took a bite out of my sandwich.

"Shwer," was how my muffled reply sounded, but everyone knows I meant 'sure' and if you didn't...get a job.

"Ok," Kairi continued, "What is your favorite class?"

I looked at her with a dull, unhappy, bored, face. Then the silence...don't you just hate that? I swallowed the food in my mouth and answered.

"Honestly I despise school and every subject." I finally got out.

Kairi, getting some pleasure out of all of this, smiled check-to-check and said, "GREAT!" Oh did I say 'said?' I meant 'screamed loudly and in my ear.' -.- My bad.

I swear, in the brief moment in time, I wished that I could rip my ears off, and after swimming in a big pool of noodles... jump on the nearest plane to Japan, become a ninja, take French, and...

Yeah so then, I must have won a prize or something, because there was a bonus question...Yay!

"What's your favorite color?"

She asked another question? When? Should I answer? I suppose...

But before doing so... I glared at her...she knows my favorite color...a TOTAL STRANGER could figure out that...so I thought that I would be a smart...aleck, and scream something out at random...

"PINK!" I screamed in her ear, trying to repay a favor, but, I stood up in my seat too and half the lunchroom was staring at me...Oh-to-joy!

The check-to-check grin was starting to run off of her face, I don't think it could get any bigger.

"Ok," she said completing her task-of-the-day, "the last one is...What's your favorite animal?"

O.O Please let that be a joke! I've told her this before also...wait a minute, why all the questions?

"Uh...a wolf..." I said slowly, savoring the moment that I started plotting against her, because these questions mean one of many things. The two I'm thinking are...

1) She forgot everything I've ever told her

2) She's playing a trick on me and is trying to see how long I will go for her silly joke..

This has angered Riku.

"Thanks!" she screams running away, faced toward me, with her hand in the sky. And guess what happened...Mmhmm, she ran into some total stranger, who, I think, knows my favorite color... -.-

.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.

Kairi met up with Sora at their little lunchtime-get-together thing Kairi just started.. So Kairi is telling Sora about the ''results'' as of now..

"SORA! SORA! SORA!" Kairi screamed while running full speed toward the table, "I DID IT!"

"Did what?" Sora asked completely lost.

"You know how you said that I should find out more about Riku before I ask him out!"

"How can I forget it was last period,"

"Yeah, anyway, I made some questions up and they all matched my answers!" at this time she was talking so loud and so fast that he didn't completely understand her.

"...So what were the questions?" Sora tilted his head a bit and waited for an answer.

Kairi pulled out the paper she wrote the questions, her answers, and Riku's, on and read it out slowly, and LOUDLY.

"Ok," she said preparing herself, " the first one was 'what is your favorite class?' I wrote I hate school and Riku said he despises school and every subject. How odd is that!"

Sora stared at her, just last week she talked about how she was going to kill me if I wouldn't give her money back, and now she's acting as if I'm some kinda god...no complaints..

"Uh, Kairi? A lot of people hate school and everyone knows Riku is one of them." Sora hated to burst her bubble like that...unlike myself...I live for it. XD

"Ok, but this next question should prove that we're a lot alike. 'what's your favorite color?' I put pink and he said pink also!"

"Uh," Sora said with a sigh, "Riku hates pink, his favorite color is blue or something like that, he was probably annoyed and wanted you to leave him alone."

Thank you Sora for knowing your best friend's favorite color... : (

Ok I'll rephrase what I said earlier, ANYONE could figure out my favorite color...except Sora...he's an idiot.

That's better )

"Well the last question was.. 'what's your favorite animal?' and we both said wolf. Does that count?" Kairi said in a monotone voice.

Sora nodded in disagreement and tried to find a better way of going about this..

HEY GUYS I HAVE AN IDEA! WHY DON'T YOU ASK ME IF I LIKE KAIRI SO I CAN SAY "NO" AND GET IT OVER WITH!

But no...leave it to Sora to make things difficult...

.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.

So while Kairi and Sora are thinking of ways to find out if I like her, we're in gym class; but today I will not complain, because we have many choices of activities in which I can avoid Kairi! So now there's the problem...they are in my gym class...mmhmm they as in Sora and Kairi. Although they think that I DON'T know that they are talking about me...Kairi keeps looking over toward me...-.- So I thought to myself...what the heck...

.-.-.-.--.--.-.-.-.

"...so see what sport he picks and follow as if you like that sport also, ok?" Sora finished his sentence...not knowing that I, Riku, was lurking a few seats behind him, listening...no not eavesdropping...listening very closely for the mentioning of my name, that's all...STOP STARING AT ME!

Kairi nods in agreement to his plan and turns toward the teacher...I figured out right then...and my face was like this O.O and at the same time like this O o so it was more like O.o I guess...that'll do...

This whole time they've been leaving me out of their conversations, was because Kairi has a crush on me! I can't let her! I wont let her! I need to figure something out and quick before she asks me any more questions...

(The previous mentioned statement was what I was thinking at the time that it was being thought of...I mean, while I was thinking it.)

For the people who don't know...that was a thought thing...confused...good.

But I didn't just leave and forget about it...no...I, Riku, thought that I should play a little trick on the girl...for my enjoyment only...

I suppose that I shouldn't...it would be too much work...I mean I could because I just don't care what she thinks of me...but then I would have to plan things out and follow through with them. That is just too much work for this simple minded silver haired boy... I'll get Sephy to do it for me...
