We've known each other for months; years actually, and we've always been extremely close. People would (and still do) confuse us for a couple. I mean, I'm not complaining..

She's tall, thin but fit, fair skin, waist long ashy blonde hair... she's beautiful.

I'm absolutely smitten.

But apart from that she's also... Stoic, and unpredictable... I hardly can ever tell what she's thinking. She's almost.. completely... apathetic.. But she always smiles a little when she's alone with me, she always seems more open when she's alone with me.. She barely shows any real emotion other than her sarcasm when she's in public. But with me...

I can tell she's happy.

I'm absolutely smitten.

But I wonder... does she feel the same?

"..vy..."

I hope she does...

"..vy...!"

I mean, I want-

"Envy!"

Envy jumped when he heard his name and felt something warm on his shoulder, he was daydreaming again. "Wh... huh..?"

"Are you alright? You zoned out again..." Ilena sat up straight and pulled her hand away from her friends shoulder.

Even sitting down she's visibly taller than me.

"Uh... I'm fine... Just thinking."

"Is it alright if I ask?"

"Ah.. I-it was... nothing important, Lena." He smiled up at her. Ilena didn't buy his excuse for a second but decided not to push it further, deciding to call him out if does that again.

"Ok..." Ilena then stood up and gathered her belongings in her bags and Envy soon did the same. "I'm going to get lunch do you wanna come with me?"

"Yeah... sure."

The two then went to a near by chinese place leaving the restaurant with three plastic bags of food, Ilena insisting to hold two of them while Envy carried one that was alot less heavy and he huffed in disagreement but didn't protest as he carried the bag on his wrist. He was pouting the whole time they were walking out of campus.

"Don't pout, Envy. I know you wanted to help, but these bags are too heavy for you." Ilena said in an almost parental tone.

"Don't mother me... You're the one that's gonna get the sore arms in the morning!" Envy argued.

The older one forrowed her eyebrows in mild frustration. "You're the one who past out as soon as we got home after insisting to carry a fifty pound box up the stairs..." Ilena countered argued.

Envy pouted more. "Mmmmhh..."

"Don't pout, Envy.."

"Mmmnnnnhh..." He pouted even more, his pout seemed almost comical and Ilena let out a huff of air through her nose not out of frustration but because she was holding in a laugh.

Envy noticed but decided to ignore it.

Mean! Dumb! Stupid, tall, long legged cretin! She's not even appreciative about that fact I wanted to help her! Dummy! Elf! Cretin!

Ilena could tell by simply looking at Envy that he was having a hissy fit in his head, it seemed fine but his quiet, childish anger was a bit worse than a toddler having a temper tantrum in the middle of a public mall. Though of course, that was only Ilena's opinion.

The pair past by the baseball court in order to get to their shared apartment, Ilena heard the sound of a metal baseball bat, presumably hitting a baseball and immediately pin pointed where the ball was as it was flying out of the court and towards them; towards Envy more specifically.

Envy was still mumbling quietly to himself but soon snapped out of it as Ilena extended her hand and caught the ball in perfect timing.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" A tall girl with a black ponytail ran up to retrieve the ball Ilena had saved Envy from. Though he was currently seething at the near death experience.

"Tch..! What the hell is wrong with you!? I could've died!! You little brat!!" Envy snapped at the girl who was currently bowing and apologizing repeatedly. He ignored the stern, almost parental glare that Ilena was giving him.

"I'm so so so sorry! I didn't know anyone was over here! We don't have any fencing and I apologize, please forgive me!" She bowed once more.

"Why I oughta...!" Ilena placed a hand infront of Envys mouth before he could continue.

"Here..." The taller one of the three handed the girl the ball back with a faint smile, hoping to calm her nerves. "Ah, thank you. Again, I'm so sorry!" She took the ball bowing one last time and running off.

"Hmph..."

Ilena glanced at him. "It wasn't her fault, Envy. You know the court has no fencing to catch a stray ball, you should be aware of your surroundings when we come here..."

Envy groaned. "Don't mother me!"

"I'm older than you." She stated.

"Only by a year! I'm eighteen!"

She let out a soft sigh. "You can be very childish, En. You need to at least have someone.. to look after you."

She calls me 'En' so rarely...

The two make it to their shared apartment and begin to set up the lunch they bought on the rather large coffee table, taking out the food out of the little chinese take-out boxes and pouring the food onto the paper plates they placed on the table. Envy turned on the t.v and the two started eating as they watched the screen.

After they ate and cleaned everything up Envy went into his room without saying much else. He changed out of his street clothes and changed into his sleep wear; a pair of boyshorts and loose t-shirt.

He climbed into his bed and cuddled under the covers.

I hope she feels the same way... I might be a bit childish, but I ain't clueless. I just...

I wish I could tell what she's thinking...
