Shane

This morning, when I found... something I would rather not discuss, Eve walked in and saw me. Well, it. "What..." she couldnt form words and she decided to scream instead and cover her eyes. "Oh my god Shane! What the hell is THAT for? Claire?"

I said nothing as she ranted on. I was already humiliated. She finished with, "And just wait until Claire finds out-" I gripped her shoulders. "Don't, please." She saw something- I don't know what, but she gasped.

"You... you dreamed- oh man, that is just priceless." She started laughing and I moved around her and went to my room. "You have to tell her. Or I will." She said as I closed the door. I stared at the ground for a moment. I... I can't stop fighting it.

I sagged against the wall and looked at the ceiling. A faint click told me Eve left for work. I do like Claire. Maybe more than I'm supposed to. And she's going on a date with Michael.

I banged my head against the wall. I can't help it if I loose control and hurt Michael. He could do anything- and she might enjoy it. I closed my eyes. What if she falls for Michael? What if she only sees me as her older brother? I couldn't live with that. I know.

I opened my eyes and got up. I'll follow them to make sure nothing bad happens. Cause something to happen if he tries to kiss her. Or...

Prevent them from going! Perfect! And I have just the plan...

I caught Eve just as she entered. "I need to tell you something," I said, grinning, "Its about Michael." That got her attention. "What? Is he okay?" I shook my head. We were alone, so I could say it freely.

"Michael likes you." was all I said before she went ballistic.

She smiled and jumped around, laughing and screaming. Then she stopped. "But, what about Claire? They are going on a... date."

"Look, I want Claire, You want Michael. We have to prevent them from going." She nodded. "How?" I grinned wider.

Michael came downstairs yawning at 5. Claire was battling Eve for the last cookie. Then, the plan went into action. Eve came out the kitchen to confront Michael.

"Michael... I need to tell you something." she began. He rubbed his eyes and looked at her confused. She looked gothic today, her hair in pigtails and wearing purple leggings with a black skirt, topped off with a midnight blue blouse with skeletons and daggers on the back.

"What is it Eve?" he asked. "I like you. A lot. And I know you like me too." she stated. He looked pale. "E-Eve-" she waled up to him, leaned up, and kissed him. Claire clapped. I did also. Michael kissed her back, eyes closing. Well, that settles that. I looked at Claire. She was smiling. I walked to her and took her by the elbow and steered her into the kitchen. "Claire, look, I really like you." I said. Claire's eyes widened and I saw her blush. So... adorable. "I- I like you too, Shane."

I smiled a little and leaned down and kissed her. She's never kissed a guy before, I noted as she stiffened. Then she let her instincts take over and she kissed me back...

Then I woke up from my dream.

Ahh you thought! No no, Claire still has her date with Michael, yet to be written, and Shane still has to -like what Dakota-louise said- MAN UP! so, review please, and check out my new story Medieval Morganville. Heh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Anju Uchiha
