"She was able to avoid and shut out most people, but somehow he always managed to find his way into her heart."

—Yoru no Mukou

(The Other Side of Night)


She was a stubborn, persistent brat, as described by some. She was sarcastic and rude as described by all. Most describe her as a lover of all things humorous and a hater of all un-humorous. Rima liked that description the best.

She wasn't always like that, though. Surely not. She had a sweet side, but that side was reserved for the few people who actually knew her. Not the type of person to go scavenging for friends, she had few companions. Others were dust to her, and she couldn't be happier.

Most people chose to avoid her, anyway.

All but one.

"Hey! Rima!" Nagihiko called cheerily, poking his head through the door and grinning. "Did you, by any chance, finish the English homework?"

Rima scowled and tossed him a withering look. "Hi."

"I'm guessing you want the answers to the English homework?" she guessed.

He scratched the back of his head, "Kind of spent too much time dancing…"

"Well if this was Nadeshiko, I'd be happy to. But seeing as you're…..him. The answer is no."

"Aw, c'mon Rima."

He was annoying, frustrating, and a liar. He was all those things combined, and more. He was cheerful and optimistic to the point that it would make Rima want to bang her head against the wall.

She had actually done that a couple of times.

"Please? I really need your help." Nagihiko pouted, giving her his pleading, childish face.

Sometimes, Rima wished he would just leave her alone for once.

"Fine." She gave up and spared him a small smile.

"Thanks! You're the best!" Nagihiko smiled that stupidly gorgeous smile of his. Plopping down on the couch beside her, he pulled out his homework notebook and edged closer.

He was annoying, frustrating, cheerful and optimistic to the point that it was sickening yet, somehow, he would make simply being next to him all worthwhile.


Hahaha, this is way too short, but whatever I guess. :-P

Hope you guys liked it! :-D
