Flyingkunai: Well, at least I did something right. XD Hey, look, I'm updating! (: Probably the wrong story, but OH WELL. :D

Summer Wonderland: Hahaa, I totally LOVE Alice 19th! (: *high fives* Thank you so much. :3 Frey = the besttt, hehe.

Hidden Leaf: Lolz, it's just an idea that's been nagging at me forever. XD 'Specially considering AlicexFrey is MEANT TO BEEE. OwO

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Frey was certain he would lose his mind if he ever heard that sentence again. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed, exasperated.

"You really are dense, aren't you?" The blonde grabbed Kyo by his shoulders and shook him slightly. "Her signs are so obvious! She's trying to show you without saying anything!"

Kyo scrutinized his roommate. "Alice doesn't keep secrets from me, Frey. Mind your own business." He shrugged off Frey's hands and loafed to his bed, stifling a yawn.

Frey turned to a window and swore in Norwegian under his breath before spinning back towards Kyo who was settling into bed. "Fine! Just remember, I wared you." He waved a finger in Kyo's direction before storming through the door and slamming it behind him. It was quiet in the room for a moment, and Kyo shook his head on his pillow when the raging blonde slammed the door back open and announced, "I sleep in here too." He stomped to his bed, scooched under the covers and huffed into silence, his arms folded tightly.

Kyo's heart would be broken. No, not broken. Shattered. Crushed. Destroyed.

'He won't take it well,' Frey thought, his eyes squeezed shut. Then, before he realized what was happening, his thoughts drifted to Alice. Her smile and laugh echoed through his mind; he imagined them together, holding hands and smiling.

His eyes shot open when another face burst through his joyful image: a pretty, blonde lady with big, inviting blue eyes. He wiped the images from his mind's eye reluctantly by blinking slowly. He knew both of them were impossible. He knew both the women he really loved were out of his reach and always would be. He knew these things, but he also knew it never hurt to dream. He realxed his arms and actually tried to get comfortable, and before he knew it, he was alseep.

The sunlight seemed to be burning Alice's skin through her uniform. It wasn't an exceptionally hot day, but she felt herself sweat anyways.

'I'll do it today. I will. I'll do it, and we'll stay friends, and everything will be okay.' She gribbed the ribbon at her chest, a habit she thought she'd lost months ago, as her heart beat increased whenever she thought she saw Kyo walk towards her. Her heart nearly burst from her chest when she felt someone's hand on her shoulder.

"Mornin', Alice!" Frey's greeting was practically overshadowed by the female's squeal. He removed his hand quickly before Alice whacked him with her flailing arms. "Whoa, whoa, calm down, it's just me!" He gripped her wrists and forced them to her side, looking her straight in the face, a bit closer than normal, with a smile.

Alice inhaled slowly, trying to slow down her heart, and let it out even slower. Frey released his grip on her wrists and raised his hands defensively. The girl sighed shortly and brought a hand back to her ribbon. "Sorry, Frey. You just startled me."

He laughed shortly and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "I'll take your word for it. " He smiled down at her, and when she didn't smile back, asked, "You look tense; what's goin' on?"

Alice hesitated. She was going to tell him the day before, why not now? "Where's Kyo?" she asked quietly, eyeing the crowd around them, searching for his face.

"Oh, don't worry about him. I made sure he would be a little held up." He winked at her, but Alice looked up at him, confused.

"What did you do?"

Frey looked toward the sky for a moment before looking back down at his little best friend. "You said you wanted to talk yesterday, and I'm pretty sure you already knew why I came back." Alice looked away, a little flushed, but he reached for her chin and turned her face towards him. He leaned down to look her in the eye. "Now, tell me what's really bothering you."

She pulled herself away and out of his reach before whispering, "I'm going to break up with Kyo." She exhaled loudly, placing a hand on her chest. She suddenly felt much lighter like an anvil was lifted off her lungs.

The duo stood in silence for a second, not listening to the aimless chatter around them. Frey sighed and tugged at his ear lobe. "Is that all?"

Alice's concentration left the concrete and shot to Frey's face, who was oddly solemn. "What-"

"Just let him down easy, 'kay, Alice?" He patted her head and sauntered in Kyo's direction who was running to where Alice stood, abashed. "You find all your underwear okay, bud?" Frey hollered toward Kyo which made all the girls within a fifty foot radius giggle excessively.

Kyo mock laughed as the two passed each other, tugging his jacket back over his shoulder, his archery gear in his other hand. He jogged to Alice's side and kissed her forehead. "Sorry I'm late. I'm sure you heard Frey-"

Alice's hand covered his mouth, cutting him off. She breathed in slowly, preparing for the words that were begging to fly out of her mouth. She avoided his gaze and slowly removed her hand, gripping the ribbon at her chest, willing the air in and out of her lungs carefully and avoiding hyperventilation with all her might.

"Kyo," she began softly, "We need to talk."

OHP. I actually updated without anyone yelling at me! :D PLEASE REVIEWW! (:
