No, Ray corrected himself.
His friend.

The Bladebreakers were beside themselves as to what to do about Ray.
He had cheered up considerably, but still, he was miserable, and even Daichi could see that. Of course, he was part of the reason that Ray was still a bit miserable……….

"Hey, guys, whats bi mean?" Daichi asked as soon as Kai and Ray walked back into the room. Ray swallowed thickly, and Hillary lifted a fist.
"It means….that…I,I wouldn't mind mating with either sex." He said, and mentally hit himself. Yea, like that would get it across to the kid.
"Eh?"
"It means that he doesn't mind having a girlfriend or a boyfriend!" Tyson said, annoyed at the boy, who was obviously causing his friend discomfort.
"Boyfriend? But he is a boy!" The young, naïve boy stated, confused.
"IT doesn't matter when you really like someone, Daichi!!" Hillary exploded. Daichi huffed.
"Fine, like I care. Just don't try and hit on me or nuthin'!"

They knew he didn't mean any harm, how could he? He was Daichi. But Ray had avoided him, and most everyone, except Kai and Hillary, who seemed to be the only ones who could talk to him without making things awkward.
"Guys! We gotta do something about Ray!" Tyson finally announced to Max, Kenny, and Daichi. The group looked at each other, then the blue haired Japanese boy.
"Like what, Tyson?" Max asked curiously.
"Like….well, I don't know. But there has to be something that we can do to show him that were ok with him being the way he is! He keeps avoiding us, and im tired of it! I want the old Ray back!" He said as he stood up, determinedly. The others nodded in agreement. They wanted the old Ray back too.

Ray Kon walked into the kitchen, his little sanctuary. It was the place that he got the most quiet out of, besides his bedroom and the bathroom. When he was in there, everyone learned to clear out; he was good at wielding spatulas and wooden spoons, and wouldn't take mercy on any hands that tried to sneak bites of unfinished dishes.
But what meet his entrance more or less surprised him. Tyson, Max, Kenny, and Daichi were all in the kitchen, covered in flour - or was it baking soda? - trying their hardest to bake a cake.
"Guys…..?" He said carefully, and they all jumped, startled, and ended up in a heap on the floor where they slipped, either on eggs that had been dropped or the flour - or baking soda - .
"R,Ray! Buddy! W,What are you doing in here?" Tyson asked with a laugh, and the boy raised an eyebrow.
"I was going to make dinner…..but I guess you beat me to it? Just what are you up to, anyways?" He asked, and they begin stuttering, shifting and fidgeting, before Max stood and looked at him.
"We were baking you a cake! To try and cheer you up! To show that we don't mind you being the way you are, and that you don't have to avoid us! We want the old Ray back!" A chorus of agreement followed the blondes statement.
Ray was shocked. They had done all this for him?
A smile slowly spread its way across his face, and soon, it was turned into laughter. Full blown, deep down, gut wrenching laughter. The others pouted, but were soon laughing with him.
"You guys, you don't know anything about cooking! But really, thanks. I needed this." He said, a large grin on his face as he looked at the mixing bowl that had a mixture that looked much to watery - and a bit lumpy - for cake.
"How about we make a cake, together?" He asked. "Ill show you how. Then we can clean up." He looked at them. "Together." they groaned, but agreed.
Ray smiled.
Yes, this was exactly what he had needed.

The chapters for this story are all going to be really short. Almost like a bunch of one shots strung together, but not quite……….
So sorry if you wanted longer chapters.
Actually, I was thinking of making the first chap just a oneshot, but decided that the story had a bit more potential……and I had a couple ideas.
But there wont be any romance, just friendship, so don't get your hopes up.
I wish I had a friend who could drop bombs on villages that made me sad or mad………..
