A/N: I have no idea where this story came from. I was trying to fall asleep one night and it just came to me. So here's the first chapter.

Chapter one

Music drifted through the plain room loudly. It was a harmoniously filled piece, each note played with perfection and expertise.

Eyes Rutherford sat at his sleek, black piano, trying to figure out a new song. He stopped to jot down a few notes on to a blank piece of paper. The music started again.

Kousuke sat on his bed listening to he young pianist play. He loved listening to Eyes play every night before he went to bed.

The red haired teen moved into a more comfortable position, finding that his last one made his feet turn numb. Finally sleep caught up with him, and he fell asleep, a smile across his slightly tanned face.

He woke up, the sound of fighting filled his ears. He didn't have to think twice to know it was Kousuke and Rio. Kanone pushed back his dark covers and got out of bed. He wondered why his alarm cloak didn't wake him up, he knew he set it before he went to bed.

He looked down at the little device, it didn't take him long before he realized somebody had turned it off. The fighting and bickering settled down, and music started to play. Kanone instantly knew that it wasn't Eyes, for this person played with carelessness and a lack of experience. Rio, Kanone already knew. She had asked Eyes to give her lessons.

Yawning, Kanone made his way downstairs to the kitchen. It would have been completely empty if Eyes wasn't sitting at the table. Kanone looked at his best friend. His left hand held onto a coffee mug, his right hand rested on the table. His eyes were shut tight, trying to hear the young girl's playing. Every time the girl made a mistake Eyes would wince.

Kanone knew that his best friend hated people who made a lot of mistakes.

"Is there any left?" Asked Kanone. Eyes looked up, his eyes open. He looked at his best friend for a moment then shut his eyes again.

"Yeah." He answered quietly. Kanone dug a coffee mug out of the cupboard and poured some of the brown substance into his purple coffee mug. H sat down across from Eyes.

"Do you think she's getting any better?" Asked Kanone before taking a sip of his coffee.

"Yeah." Answered Eyes. "She definitely had potential, but she doesn't practice nearly enough." Kanone smirked. He listened to Rio play. She was good, definitely made a lot of mistakes, but good nonetheless. She was playing a piece that Kanone knew very well.

The brown haired teen stood up and left the kitchen without a word. Eyes heard the music stop playing. He noticed that Kanone had left the room, leaving his coffee mug behind. He heard Rio's voice and then Kanone's. He got up to go give Rio her piano lesson.

He was halfway down the hall when he heard the music start again. This time each note was played with perfection and grace.

Eyes quickened his pace to see who was playing. He stopped in the doorway and watched. He was surprised to see Kanone playing. Kanone? Playing? Who would have ever guessed?

Kanone sat in the piano bench, Rio watching his fingers closely. Kanone let his fingers guide themselves along the black and white keys. His eyes were closed, and smirk was on his face. Finally the music stopped.

"Wow!" exclaimed Rio. "You're really good. How come I can't play like that?" The little girl looked up innocently at Kanone.

Kanone smiled. "See you don't have your fingers positioned correctly. Here." Said Kanone. He picked up Rio's small fingers and placed them atop the piano.

What was this feeling that Eyes was feeling?

'Jealously? Envy?' Thought Eyes. 'No. Kanone is just a friend. That's it. My best friend that I've known since childhood. Then if he's just a friend, why do I feel like this?'

"That feels a lot better than what Eyes had me put them in." Said Rio.

"Rio, listen to me. You asked Eyes to teach you. He can teach you a lot. So listen to him." Said Kanone. Rio shook her head.

"Sorry, if I'm interrupting anything." Said Eyes walking into the room. Rio and Kanone looked up.

"Eyes, you should hear Kanone play. He's really quite good." Said Rio.

"Rio." Said Kanone. "I'm sure Eyes had better things to do than listen to some amateur play."

"No. Play for me." Said Eyes.

'Do I actually want Kanone to play?' Thought Eyes to himself. 'Na.'

Kanone looked up at Eyes, shook his head yes, and began to play. He made a lot of errors and half way though the piece he stopped. Eyes looked up. Kanone was already standing.

'Had he been standing the whole time?' Asked Eyes to himself. He wasn't sure. He had had his eyes shut the whole time.

"I'm sorry, Eyes." Said Kanone. "I really wanted to play for you. It's just that with you watching me I feel pressured. That if I make a mistake you'll get mad at me." His cheeks turned red, leaving a pink tinge on his cheeks.

"You played wonderfully before." Said Rio.

"That was because Eyes wasn't in the room. Like I said I feel pressured with him watching me. Sorry." Said Kanone and he left the room.

Eyes stared at the spot were Kanone was playing. Did he actually want to play? Did Eyes make him feel awkward? Eyes pushed his thoughts aside and sat down next to Rio.

"Ready for your lesson?" Asked Eyes. He smiled at the little girl.

"Yeah." She said.

"A little bit more force!" Yelled Kanone from across the field. "Much better." Kanone had been teaching Kousuke how to use the throwing knives.

Kousuke smiled at him. And began to throw more knives into the small dart board.

Eyes sat on the roof. He heard the sound of knives being thrown into wood. He knew that Kanone was teaching somebody again.

'How come I feel this way about him.' Thought Eyes. 'I know that friends aren't suppose to feel this way with one another. I can't get him off my mind and he's all I think bout. All day and all night of everyday. No matter how hard I try to get him off my mind, it doesn't work.' Eyes reached out and grabbed his water bottle. He unscrewed the cap and took a drink of the refeashing, cold substance. 'Maybe I should talk to him. Tell him how I feel. But then he'll probally hate me and never talk to me again. I don't want our friendship to end.'

Eyes thought some more. He had no clue what to do or how to tell Kanone about how he felt. Then he figured out that if he didn't tell him soon, like right now, that he'd never be able to tell him. Reluctentlly, He climbed back threw his window and headed down stairs, and then to the out side.

"Kanone!" Shouted Eyes. Kanone looked up at his best friend; a smile on his face. "Can I talk to you a minute?"

"Sure Eyes. What is it?" Asked Kanone.

"Alone."

"Oh." Said Kanone. "That'll be all for today Kousuke. Please head inside. We'll pick up this tomorrow." Kousuke shrugged and headed for the house.

"So what is it Eyes?" Asked Kanone curious.

"Promise me that you'll still talk to me. That our friendship won't end; then I'll tell you."

'Oh God.' Thought Kanone to himself. 'What ever this was it couldn't be good.'

Kanone nodded his head. "I promise." He said.

"I think…"

"You think…what?" Asked Kanone.

"I think that I'm in…love." Said Eyes. Kanone smiled as he let out a sigh.

"Is that it?" Asked Kanone. "I thought it was something more different than that. Well do I know her?"

"Well, you most certainly should." Said Eyes.

'Since it's you.' Thought Eyes.

"O.K. Well what does she look like?"

"Brown Hair, golden eyes."

"What does she act like?"

"Very friendly to other people. Cares a lot about their friends. Very nice. Hot."

"Wow. Sounds like you really like her. She sounds just like me are you sure that it's not my sister?"

"Yes I'm sure. I'm just not sure how to tell them how I feel." Said Eyes.

"Surprise her with chocolate, flowers, take her out to dinner, or go see a movie. Anything."

"Would you like that?"

"Yes." Said Kanone. Eyes then grabbed a hold of Kanone's wrists and pulled him to himself.

"Eyes, what are you doi…?" Kanone felt soft lips being pushed against his own.
