*Ray's POV*

Uh-oh. This wasn't very good. This was extremely not good. This was something that I did not want to deal with at the moment.

There she stood, hands on her hips, eyes dancing with fury, standing right in front of me. She looked murderous.

"Well, well, well isn't it Mr. I'm-gonna-be-a-douche-and-save-my-own-ass-when-there-are-other-people-who-obviously-need-ass-saving-too" she said, narrowing her eyes.

"Yeah, uh, well, you know…" I stuttered, shoving my hands in my pockets.

"Do you ever think anything through?" she asked, her eyes not moving from me.

Well this was quite awkward. I'd never really been on this side of these types of conversations before. Oh well. There's always a first for everything.

"Of course I do!" I snapped back.

She rolled her eyes, and turned on her heel, now facing the direction of the door. She muttered something mostly unintelligible under her breath but I did make out the two words of "complete" and "asshole".

She unlocked the door to the Biology room, and stormed in, throwing the keys violently onto one of the tables near the front of the room. I came in behind her, though not too quickly. I didn't want those keys thrown at my face like they were thrown at the table. God, for someone who looked as innocent as a porcelain doll, she really did have the attitude and authority of someone who looked a good twenty years older than her.

She walked briskly over to the sink, which was yet again piled with unknown goopy substances, but there was no joking or squirming this time. Her anger was an extreme elephant in the room, and it was making things extremely, and I mean extremely, awkward.

I wouldn't stand for it. "Suki" I said grabbing her forearm. She looked up at me, her eyes not as fiery as they were before, but I was still cautious.

Oh lord, I hadn't done this in a while.

"I'm…" I started.

Jesus. Apologizing was not my forte.

"I'm…" I tried again.

She quirked an eyebrow, beckoning me to go on. Did she not realize how extremely difficult this was for me! Apologizing was not my thing. It made me weak. But of course it was the stupid "civil and right thing to do".

She'd better be pretty pumped about this. I hadn't apologized in ages.

I chose my words carefully. "I am… deeply sorrowed….by the…grief I may have caused you in the…incident…that occurred earlier on this day."

Her lip twitched slightly in laughter, and I could see her trying to keep a straight face. "Okay" she said, breaking from my grip and turning around to the sink again.

My jaw dropped in shock. "Okay?" I cried incredulously, throwing my arms up in the air. "I give you one of the most amazing apologies that I have ever uttered, and what do you say! Okay! OKAY!?"

And then she did the weirdest thing yet. The girl burst out laughing.

She clutched her stomach with one hand, her other gripped the side of the counter, helping her stay grounded. "Oh my god!" she said through her hysterical laughter, "you really are something…"

"What?" I asked, thoroughly confused. That just made her laugh more.

"What are you on, woman?" I asked in frustration. What was so funny that it would make her have this sort of reaction?

She finally regained her composure, and stood up straighter, smiling in amusement at my extreme confusion.

"That may have been the most painful apology I have ever occurred"

I rolled my eyes, and threw up my arms, walking towards the other sink. "Is this what happens when a man tries? Do they always get shot down by the woman?"

She smirked. "You better get used to it, Ray Snider."

I turned to her. "Does this mean you forgive me?"

She rolled her eyes, letting out a small laugh. "It was never really that big a deal, Ray! And yes, I forgive you."

"Well…good" I said stiffly, not sure of what to say next. Her amused smile just grew, and she turned towards the sink, shaking her head slowly.

"…really something else…" she muttered quietly, pulling on her rubber gloves.

"Don't you start to think I can't hear you mumbling over there! Wouldn't want you to have to face the embarrassment of you mumbling your confession of your undying love for me, and have me hear it, would we?"

She let out a snort. "Like that's going to happen anytime soon."

"Just you wait, Sato. Soon enough you'll be throwing yourself at my feet like all the rest of them" I said smugly.

"And who exactly are the rest of them?"

Complete and utter silence.

Goddammit.

"That's what I thought" she said smugly, and pulled on her second rubber glove. "I wash, you dry?"

"Deal."

*Suki's POV*

"What do you think it is this time?" he asked in disgust. "Because I think it's the mauled bodies of Headmaster's relatives."

"Ray!"

"Okay, okay, maybe there not human carcasses, but they're rancid!"

I had to agree with that. Biology could sometimes be very, very gross.

"What about you?" he asked.

"Excuse me?" I replied, rubbing the who-knows-what off a pan.

"What do you think this stuff is?"

I rolled my eyes. His questions were stupid. But I guess that he was sort-of funny. "Hmmm…" I thought, passing him one of the last pans from the pile. "…I'd have to say the eyeballs of giant squids."

He quirked an eyebrow. "Wonderfully creative mind you've got there, missy. Though, I'd have to say it's equally as disturbing."

"Says Mr. Condemned-bodies-of-the-relatives-of-headmaster."

"You gave me a nickname!" he said mockingly, touching his hand to his chest, "I'm flattered!"

We finished off the last of the dissection utensils, and took off our gloves, leaving them in the sink.

"I think this detention has made me learn one thing" I said, jumping up and sitting on one of the tables, swinging my legs in the air.

He grinned in amusement. "And what is that, exactly?"

"That I do not ever, ever, ever, ever want to teach or have anything to do with the science of Biology. Ever"

"Can you say ever one more time?"

"Don't try and act like you don't hate this as much as I do!"

"What, you mean you don't enjoy cleaning dead things off plates? It's my cup of tea."

"You're slightly infuriating sometimes, do you know that?" I asked.

He smiled. "Oh, I know. I live to make you all pissed off. You're so cute when you're murderous!"

"Thanks for the compliment" I said dryly, and he laughed, wiping off the last bit of the counter.

"It's my pleasure" he said with a wink, and turned to lay the cloth in the sink.

I felt a blush creeping up my neck. Was this flirting? No, it was just two friends talking. But talking didn't usually make one blush, did it?

He turned to face me, and beckoned towards the door. "C'mon, it's getting pretty late. Let's go" he said, turning to walk towards the door.

"Wait!"

He looked over his shoulder, raising his eyebrow. "What?"

"Come here."

His eyebrows furrowed, but he obeyed, and walked over to me. "Yes?"

"Closer" I said quietly, and his eyebrows shot up in surprise. But yet again, he came closer. He didn't break eye contact.

"Suki?" he asked, but I shook my head, and placed a finger to his lips. My heart was beating extremely fast, but I didn't care. That's not what I was focused on.

I moved my fingers to his chin, and pulled his face towards me.

And I kissed him.
