Hey all! This is my contribution to my WAVE! I'll be having another WAVE!... probably for a Naruto pairing in about July, and another for Lamanths Birthday, so we'll see how those go!! grins
Anyway, enjoy, It's a little rushed and not BETAed, so sorry for mistakes!
Miguel sat, tapping his pen against his paper in sync with the clock. He was waiting for the bell to ring, so he could finally see Raul without everyone else around him.
Everyday after school, about a minute after the bell rang, Raul would quietly pack up his things, then walk up to the front of the class to clean the black board and clap the erasers.
As always, the teacher would thank him thoroughly. Miguel would get up, and start to clean the paper balls off the floor, and put the desks back in rows so he had an excuse to be in the room with him.
The teacher would leave, thanking the two of them again for their work, and ask them to close the door behind them when they left. They would finish and Miguel would walk Raul home. It was a perfect cycle.
He valued the time he got alone with the younger of the twins. He would hang out with him during school more, but Julia was always with him until she'd leave with Marium and Mathilda. She really didn't like Miguel much.
The bell startled him out of his thoughts.
"Miguel, Raul, I have to go early today… would you two mind doing this without me here?" Their teacher asked about 5 minutes later, having finished packing up.
"Of course!" Raul said, smiling brightly.
As Miguel predicted, the cleaning went as always. About 20 minutes later, they were leaving the school, talking about the homework they had in math, then about the new Mexican place in town that they were both dying to visit.
"Hey! You know what? We should go together!" Raul spurted out.
"Really?" Miguel asked, startled that Raul had even offered.
"Of course! We both love it! And it would be fun," he said with a grin, walking backwards in front of Miguel to gauge his reaction.
"That's true, " he agreed, trying not to sound too anxious. In reality, he was dancing and screaming on the inside. Supper with Raul! "Alright, I'm in."
Raul cheered, jumping into the air with unsuppressed glee.
"How about we go on our way home tomorrow? Maybe we can go to a movie or something first?" Miguel agreed. The rest of the walk home was spent making plans.
That night, Miguel sat in his room, staring at his ceiling, wondering about nothing and everything. Tomorrow, he would be going to a Mexican restaurant with the adorable Spaniard.
He found it odd, that he could be so different from his twin! She was loud, obnoxious, outgoing and angry- unless she was with Mathilda or Raul that is. But even then, she blew up at the smallest things. One day, Takao had bumped into her when Max had pushed him, and she beat him to a bloody pulp.
Raul was nothing like that. He was sweet, quiet, shy, helpful, respectful and intelligent. He was the perfect little person. He was also predictable, unlike his sister. Miguel liked knowing what he would do next, it allowed him to do little things to see that smile on his face.
Miguel looked at the clock, and started to count down the minute until 7:15. Raul always snuck into his bedroom and called him while Julia was studying or hanging out with Mathilda. They didn't talk to each other much during school hours, but after…
The phone rang and Miguel had to smirk.
"Hey Raul, pumped for tomorrow?"
Thanks for reading! R&R!!
