Title: A is for Aqua

Pairing: LenxRin

Scratching his head, a certain blonde boy grunted as he yet again crumpled a piece of paper.

His sensei had asked them to write a meaningful alphabet he certainly didn't understood and yet he tried to comprehend it.

"Argh!" he heaved another groan.

Knock knock

A sound from behind his door was heard.

"Len? Daijoubu?" a soft voice came making a faint pink creep on his cheek.

"Yeah I'm fine, Rin" he replied.

"Can I come in?" this time his blushed made a darker shade of pink.

He fixed himself and straightens his shirt before he let her in.

As soon as his door opened a girl with the same hair color as himself came to view. She had the same eyes as him. Yet he knew that hers shone brightly, filled with life.

"Sorry, your mom let me in."

"No worries."

"So? Having trouble with the homework?" she asked while kneeling on the floor beside him.

He only nodded. "I don't get what sensei meant.

The girl laughed lightly before patting him at the back. "Yeah, sensei can be so unpredictable when he gives homework."

"Hmm." Len nodded in agreement. "Are you finished with yours?"

"Not quite"

"So? You're having a difficulty as well?"

Rin gave a nod. "You can say that but it's more of a writer's block. I'm already in 'X' right now."

Len's eyes widen as he looked at her in disbelief. "Eh? How?"

"Not many words starts with the letter-"

"That's not what I meant."

"Eh?"Now Rin was confused.

Her eyes showed it all. He was drowned into them yet he tried to rise up so she wouldn't notice.

Rin was his best friend and he couldn't afford to let his infatuation ruin their friendship. If possible he'll do his best to hide his feelings for the girl, she's too much to lose.

"How'd you do it? I thought we're in the same page." Len frowned which made the girl laugh.

"What's so funny?" this time Len gave her a playful glare.

The young lass contained her laughter as she plopped down on the floor. Her elbows supporting her chin as she smiled at Len. "You know Len, you're so cute!" and with that she reached for his cheeks, pinching them.

"Hey! Hey!" he said trying to remove her hands from his sore cheeks. Rin rolled on the floor while laughing. Now, her head laid on Len's lap.

Len blushed even more but tried the shrug it off. It was their usual routine when they mess around.

"Yeah, I'm cute so would you help me now? Explain to me how you've done it."

Rin giggled a little. "Oh, Len! You should try to be focus on school more."

Len grunted, truth be told, he wasn't the best student around. He dozed off easily and would barely pass other subjects. If it wasn't for his best friend tutoring him, he wouldn't have gotten this far!

"Dell-sensei is teaching literature, remember?"

"So?"

Rin sighed heavily.

"Be creative my beloved friend."

"That's one of the talent that I don't have." He rolled his eyes.

"Oh, yeah? How about those excuses you made about you being kidnapped by aliens as your reason for being tardy this morning?" Rin asked as she looked up with a smirk on her lips.

It only made Len blushed from embarrassment.

"Shut up and just tell me what to do."

"How can I tell you when you want me to shut up?" she went back to her sitting position while eyeing him cockily.

"Mature Rin very mature."

Rin stuck her tongue out.

"Dell-sensei is already helping you catch up with your grades so don't disappoint him, okay?"

"If I didn't knew better I would've thought you like him." Len smirked.

"Hey! Just because I'm more observant than you doesn't mean I like him!"

"Haha, gatcha."

"And I thought you're mature." this time it was Len's turn to stick out his tongue playfully.

"Anyway, can we go back to my homework?"

"Fine, I'll give you an example so you could understand."

Len only rolled her eyes "Don't act like you know it all."

"Would you want me to help you or not?"

Len kept his mouth shut as she listened to her.

"Example, P is for pink that I always see

that stains your cheek whenever you look at me."

At that exact moment Len turned red, Rin on the other hand laughed at his reaction.

"I do not turn pink!"

"I'm kidding Len, I'm just making an example." Rin explained as she tried to control her giggles once again.

Len crossed his arms showing that he was displeased. "Geez Len, if you're gonna act like a kid again I'll just go home now." With that she started to stand up but Len stopped her by lightly pulling her sleeves.

"Sorry to trouble you." Len looked down shyly. Boy was he acting like a girl once again in front of her.

Without warning he felt something soft and wet land on his cheek. "You're no trouble at all." Her voice tickled his ears making him froze in place.

The sound of his door closing made him snap back o reality. He touched the cheek where she had kissed him.

He felt so light inside, his face getting hotter. In his mind he was filled with images of his best friend. Rin and her blonde hair, Rin and her aqua eyes-wait! Light bulb!

He took a pencil and decided to right.

A is for her aqua colored orbs, yes, the color of the sea

Gazing upon them just drowns me into my world of fantasy.

Len punched the air. Finally his homework is going somewhere!

Rin has always been a big help to him.
