Why did he have to be such an idiot, asking for that lame Private Peaceful book off of Kasane. Dell read the book before, and he thought that there wasn't enough action in the book. Meh, he didn't care. He reached Teto's room,and took a deep breath. He hadn't entered her room before. He touched the handle and opened the door.

Dell noticed that Teto's room was a little bit baby-ish for a sixteen year old girl. The walls were a pale peach pink, the corners were decorated with dark red butterflies, and there was a painting of a weird twisting tree on one of the walls. There were pictures of Teto, Neru and Rin together all over the place, making the room a little bit more mature. Teto's bed was next to the window, which was wide open. Dell smiled as he walked over to the window and closed it. He looked at the window ledge. There was a childhood picture of him and Teto when it was her ninth birthday. His child self didn't look too please that he was wearing a bright blue party hat on his head, one of those party blowers in his moth, deflated. The young Teto was wearing a little pink tiara, a great big smile plastered on her face. Dell chuckled to himself softly. He always saw Teto smile, she was never not happy. That was what he loved about her. He loved how she could be put through the most ubearable shit, and she could still laugh at the end of the day. He looked around, and found the bookshelf. He didn't really want to read Private Peaceful again. He was just curious about what Teto's room looked like, seeing that the only people allowed in there was Kagami and Akita. Dell found the book which he detested, and thrusted it in his black and silver messanger bag. He looked around the room again, and caught a glance at Teto's dressing table. There was a picture in a gold frame set in the middle of the dressing table. Dell looked up. He was still alone, so it wouldn't hurt lookingat the picture right? He walked over to the picture and picked it up. The Teto in this picture didn't have her usual pigtails, but it was let down and curly, reaching her ears. Dell could only guess that this Teto was at least five. There was woman next to this Teto, who looked exactly like her. The woman was laughing in the picture, and so was the little Teto.

'What are you doing?' asked Teto sharply. Dell was so shocked that he nearly dropped the photo. He caught it in one hand, and exhaled deeply. He looked up to see Teto, leaning against the bookshelf, her eyes dark.

'I came up because I need to get my backpack. And here you are, snooping around my personal stuff.' snapped Teto, her voice cold and harsh as she slammed the door. Dell stood his ground, althoguh he had a gut feeling that he was gonna be killed by Teto eventually.

'I wasn't snooping around Kasane. I was just-'

'Bored? Curious?' suggested Teto. The coldness in her voice was gone, her eyes lightened. Dell mentally sighed, he could live to see another day. Dell placed the picture on the desk.

'Is that your mom with ya?' he asked softly, not looking directly at her. Teto nodded. She sat on her bed.

'Yup. It was taken a few weeks before the funeral.' yawned Teto, strecthing a little bit. Her mother died from a bullet to the chest, Teto being the sole witness. Dell was the only one who knew; Teto hadn't even told Kagami and Akita. Dell sat next to her, the closest he'd ever been to her in at least a year. Her hair looked soft in the sunlight,and her dark red eyes had suddenly gone bright pink. She looked angelic in his eyes.

'When's the anniversary?' asked Dell.

'Next Saturday.' replied Teto, looking out the window. Dell nodded solemnly.

'Hey, Teto... what's it like? To know to have a mom and dad?' mumbled Dell. For Dell, he couldn't remember his parents at all: what they were like, what they loked like, what their names were. It was pretty depressing. Teto looked at him, shocked.

'It's kinda of a good feeling. You feel complete. Whole to be more specific.' replied Teto, taking his hand in hers. Dell felt his cheeks go hot, and saw that Teto's cheeks had reddened as well. He looked into those bright pink eyes. He loved her so much.

'Dell, ya know... I've liked ya for a while now.' mumbled Teto, blushin a little bit more.

'Really... I was gonna say the same thing.' said Dell softly. Yeah, it was weird, the silent guy to fall for the loud-mouth girl. But he didn't care. All he knew was that he loved Teto with his heart, soul and more. Dell edged closer towards Teto, his heart beating wildly in his throat. Teto went redder, but she tilted her head slightly. Dell moved his head towards Teto's, and she closed her eyes. Dell closed his own eyes as their lips met. He didn't know what it was like for Teto, but for him, it felt like electricity running through his body, his fingertips were tingling as he placed his hand on Teto's shoulder. She placed her hand on his thigh, his other hand moving towards her waist, she placed her other hand on his chest. The kiss deepened as Dell stroked Teto's locks with his left hand, his right hand placed on her cheek. He felt Teto brush some of his hair back, her hand soft like silk, her cheek was like cotton wool, her hair was flowing through his fingers like water. He moved his hand from Teto's cheek down to her chest-

The door burst open, but Dell was oblivious to this, for he was in another world with Teto, a world just for him and her, where the negativity drained away from him, leaving him estatic. However, Dell did hear Rin say,

'Hey Teto, Leon says that he's ready to- woah.'

Dell and Teto sprang apart from each other, looking up. The door was was wide open, standing in the doorway was Akita and Kagami, their mouths literally hanging, their faces bright red. And squeezed in between them was Len, who happened to have his phone out.

'Wait until everyone finds out that you two are an item.' snickered Len. There was a little click noise. The noise of a camera shutter.

'Attach to message... send to all button...' muttered Len, smirking. Len was really gonna be killed. Dell got up onto his feet, ready to throttle Len.

But he wasn't as fast as Teto. Len looked up from his phone, no longer smirking, but his face was plastered with a look of terror.

'Shit!' exclaimed Len, running off. Teto chased after him while yelling, 'Fucking little banana freak!' after him. Neru glared at him. He was gonna be killed, he could sense her murderous aura around her.
