I've actually managed to get a chapter of this story online every single day for a week! Celebrate with me! Anyway, I messed up and wrote First Crush's chapter for this one, and I uploaded it. Then I realized my mistake... So, if you read the one entitled "Strange Feelings," please disreguard that, because that was supposed be the next one. I did delete it, but sometimes it takes a while for the website to delete chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Cooties

Ienzo didn't really feel romantic love. He loved his parents. He had finally learned to love Ansem like a father. He loved reading, the smell of paper, the library. He loved many things, but didn't quite feel that kind of love. Besides, he was only nine. Why should he need to feel that way about girls? In his point of view, girls had cooties and were only around to torment him. Ansem told him he would feel differently about them later on in life, but little did he know, Ienzo would never make it that far with his heart intact.

A/N: Haha... I remember when I still thought boys had cooties and were the grossest things on earth... though they still kind of are, haha. Yes, I can be quite immature at times XD
