Hikari moaned as she rolled over on her couch. Her leg hit something hard and something squished her side, resulting in another moan. She slowly lifted her eyes open, sleep taunting her to close them and go back to sleep.

"I'LL FINE YOU!" screamed Jun from the other side of the couch.
She jumped, her halfway opened eyes now fully open. "What the hell?" she screamed, pushing Jun off the couch and onto the floor. She starred down at the cushion she sat on, her face completely red. "How did we even end up sleeping on the couch," she grumbled to herself.

"Ouch, Hikari, you're so mean," he whined, rubbing the part of his head that hit the floor. "Now I have a bump."

Her eyes widened, and in seconds flat she was on the floor stroking his head. "Here, right?"

Her face was just inches apart from his, but she still had to look up at him. It made the boy blush. "D-Don't—"

She stood up. "I'll go get a damp towel, so lay down. And sorry for you know... pushing you off the couch and all," she mumbled.

He laughed a bit once she turned around. "How cute." But that was how she was. She was violent at times, but she always quickly apologized like that. She was such a contradicting, hard to deal with, best fiend. But he loved her. He loved her the most in the world.

But what he had tried so hard to get back, was now something he didn't want. He wanted more. He wanted to hold her in his arms forever. He wanted her love; he wanted to give her his love. Something needed to change, but he was scared to do something.

"Jun?" Hikari waved her hand in front of his face. "Earth to Jun."

"What?" He starred at her. "I've been listening the whole time. Hikari, you really should pay more attention to what people are doing," he snickered. "Right?"

"No." She puffed her cheeks out and crossed her arms. "You're the misleading one! In the first place you just—" She shut her mouth and continued to silently pout. If she said something now, she knew he'd completely stop doing it.

She was always lead on by his actions, and she couldn't be frank at all with her feelings. She liked him; she loved him; she'd do anything for him, even if she did complain.

People had said she was a gifted child and could do anything if she put her mind to it, but she knew what she couldn't do. There were plenty of things she couldn't do, and she knew, but the one that hurt her the most was that she couldn't get the boy to say that he loved her.

It hurt, but she stood strong. She had to because she knew that Jun would do whatever he wanted her to, even if that means lying about his feelings. He'd do anything, and that was why she had to be strong. She couldn't complain to him, only hint and hope that one day he'd be able to return her feelings.

But that was only wishful thinking. They were just childhood friends; they would be no matter what she did.

"Hikari," he whined again, "what are you talking about? I'm misleading you about what?"

The blue-haired girl looked down at the boy and sighed. "Just lay down already, Jun."

He smiled stupidly up at her. "'kay!" He crawled back up on the couch and sat there while Hikari placed a non wet towel on the arm of the couch.

Hikari bent down on the wooden floor and placed the damp washcloth on the back of his head. "Alright, this should do it. Now just lay down."

Jun rested his head down on the arm rest of the couch, placing his head so the small bump on his head landed on the damp cloth. "Thank you, Hikar."

Her red face worsened. All she could let out was a small "Mmm" at his comment. She quickly stood up. "I have to—"

Jun grabbed her arm in urgency, but quickly let go once her eyes looked at him.

"Jun?"
"C-can you just stay here?"

She couldn't do anything but stare blankly at him. "W-what?"

"Geeze, Hikari, you're so slow!" he huffed, crossing his arms. "Just stay here. That's all you have to do, stupid. It's not hard to understand that, is it?"

"I'm not slow! And I'm not stupid!" she yelled.

"Yes you are! You never wake up on time and I always have to repeat myself!"

"Well at least I'm not a childish baby!"

He jumped up off the couch and grabbed her arm. "What's so wrong with wanting you to stay by me?" he screamed. "What's wrong with not wanting you to leave? What's so wrong about loving you? It's not because I'm childish, it's because I love you!"

"W-what?" She tried to pull her arm back, but Jun wouldn't budge. She didn't get what he was saying at all either. She was sure it was just a one-sided love. He could love her, he...

"See, this is why I said you were slow," he grumbled. "I'm not saying it again, stupid."

"Don't call me stupid, stupid," she mumbled back.

"Mega stupid." He stuck out his tongue.

"Ultra stupid." She also stuck out her tongue.

"Omega stupid."

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, idiot, stupid baby."

"What? I'm not—"

"Don't make people wait so long," she mumbled.

His eyes grew wide. He let go of her hand and took a step back. "Is that a yes?"

She looked up at him with a confused look on her face. "A yes to what?" she snapped at him.

He smiled stupidly like he always did at her. Then he jumped at pulled her into his chest. "I really love you, Hikari."

-The End-
