All those good rules apply... I do not own... Blah blah blah... Owned by some multi-millionaire company... Blah blah blah... Please don't sue me...
It had been an average Monday, the start of a brand new week of school at Meiou High School. It was morning, the others of the school off in their own social groups, all except for Hiei, who sat in the far, far back of the room, in the corner desk. Ah, yes, who would expect no less from the anti-social "goth" of Meiou High School.
Anyways, there he sat, adorned in his usual all black attire, crimson red hues glaring down at the grain of the wooden desk that he sat at.
"Hello there," that cheerful voice had brought Hiei out from his gloomy trance state. "I assume you're well today."
"Like always, Kurama." A smug smirk had played on his lips, glancing up at that red-haired demon that stood in front of him.
The random girls of the classroom had already begun to give dreamy, star-filled gazes toward the ever-so-handsome, and ever-popular Kurama making him sweatdrop from all the attention, turning his own attention toward Hiei, a warm smile on his face.
"Psh, your fan club doesn't seem to like the fact that you associate with me." That lot voice had escaped through Hiei's lips once again.
"Oh well, let them." Kurama had smiled more, sitting down in the desk in front of Hiei, looking at him.
"I don't see why or how you can put up with their annoying antics, I would find their obsessions annoying."
A red flush had formed on Kurama's cheeks then, turning his head downward.
The reaction Kurama gave had made Hiei blink, only for him to turn his head away from Kurama, sighing lightly.
Soon enough, the teacher of the classroom had opened the door and entered, telling the class to get into their seats and would soon take attendance then begin the curriculum for the day. The people around Kurama only waited moments before growing confused, and tried to look over the red-haired teenager for the right answers, only to find a blank paper with a chibi drawing of Hiei on it.
"Hey…" The girl that sat besides Kurama had whispered, leaning forward to point out the chibi Hiei drawing. "What's this?"
"Ack!" He had thrown his body over the drawing to cover it. No one was supposed to see what he had drawn! Come to think of it… He didn't even remember drawing the cute chibi Hiei—Wait, he didn't just say that out loud, did he? No? Good…
"Oh… It's nothing n.n;" he had murmured, looking up at the girl and then to the paper, quickly crumpling it as fast as he could, placing it in his lap for safe keeping.
Soon lunch had rolled around, letting the kids get up to mingle with their friends not in that classroom, soon leaving only Hiei and Kurama alone in the room. Only another moment passed before Hiei would stand to walk from the room, catching Kurama's attention.
"Oh… Hiei…?"
"What is it, Kurama?"
Slowly Kurama would stand from his desk, forgetting that the crumpled up Hiei drawing had been placed on his lap. The paper would roll from his lap, hitting the floor and stopping just at Hiei's feet.
"Hm? What's this?" Hiei would ask out loud, kneeling down to pick up the paper ball.
That's when Kurama could feel his heart begin to sink down into the heels of his shoes. When the paper ball would be unwrapped, it would Leave Hiei to only blink out of confusion, looking up to Kurama to ask him what this was all about, and what those funny little hearts were about… But he'd only find Kurama gone.
"What?" Would be Hiei's only response
-
"I can't believe I was that foolish…" Kurama had pulled his knees closer to his chest, looking down at the others who went about their every day lunch activities outside. He sat on the roof of the school, green hues looking downward before sighing and looking away. "I can't believe I let that slip…"
He was talking to himself, like he normally did in tough situations… Even though his touch situations normally involved some sort of big battle, and he was trying to figure out his opponents moves…
Another sigh had escaped before he heard the bell for the second half of class to begin, cursing that damn bell, and his stupidity still. He honestly didn't want to go back, but he kind of had to… If he didn't show up for class, they'd call home to his mother, Shiori, and she'd begin to worry why he had begun to skip… And he didn't feel like going through all that… So, seeing Hiei was his only choice.
The teacher was going on about history, the subject that Hiei and Kurama were both good in—Being that they had been around for the past 400+ years, give or take—so needless to say, either one of them didn't pay attention much. Kurama just sat with his head being held in his left hand, daydreaming and scribbling on the corner of his paper. Hiei on the other hand, hand clutched the paper that Kurama had drew on in his hand, glancing at him from time to time, then back to the desk.
'What is going on?' Hiei had thought inside his mind, obviously confused by Kurama's actions, or more or less, his drawing. He had heard some of the random freaks in the school drawing things on paper, images of people as a form of voodoo.. But Kurama couldn't—He wasn't like that… So, that was crossed off from his list.
All of his thought must have had got the best of him, because before he knew it, class was over and they were all able to go home for the day. Hiei taking the first chance he got to escape from that school. Once out of sight range his speed kicked in, and he jumped from tree to tree, taking him to the portal of spirit world where he resided.
"Hiei!" Koenma's voice had rung through the halls of his palace, that "toddler" sitting on his throne with his arms crossed, waiting for Hiei to walk into his office. When he did, he would see Hiei walk in, crimson eyes glued to the crumpled paper.
"Reading?"
"No…" Hiei would smirk harshly, standing at Koenma's desk then.
"Then let me see!" That toddler would grab the paper out from Hiei's hands, looking to the chibi drawing before blinking, looking back to the demon. "Someone's self-obsessed?"
"No, it just so happens someone drew it."
Koenma's eyes became all shiny then as he looked at Hiei. "Soo, someone has a crush on my favorite demon—Wait a minuet…. My favorite's Kurama… But don't worry Hiei, you come in second!"
"A—A what? Cru—crush?" Hiei would blink, taking a step back from Koenma then.
"A crush, you numbskull! Whoever drew this picture of you, obviously likes you! Didn't you know that?"
Hiei only blinked then… looking from the toddler that just so happened to be second in line of ruling all of spirit world, then to the paper, blinking… Kurama liked him?
