A/N: Bloody hell! I'm supposed to be doing articles for the school paper AND a bunch of reflections for CL right now, and I haven't done squat. I haven't even packed for my recollection yet.

But you don't care about that, you just want to read Chapter 3, ne? Less mush, more sarcasm. ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Material things are useless to the spirit. Ahihihihi.

Just Another Mushy Fic For My Friend Akai!

By Hosh-Hosh (Ahihihihihi.)

Chap. 3: The Bloody End Of All This Bloody Mush If I Bloody Have My Bloody Way

" . . .I was just about to ask you the same thing."

He raised an eyebrow, a smile on his lips. "Oh? Then maybe we should stay friends."

I shook my head vigorously. "No! Um . . . What I meant was . . . Gosh . . . " I was really confused. Not confused in the way Hoshi-san usually was, but still confused.

He laughed softly. (A/N: A first! ^_^) "Haha, I was kidding, you know."

"Ah! Uh . . . Oh. Okay, Nobu-kun. Okay!" I was grinning like an idiot, I knew, but I didn't care. I was as genki and happy as, well, Hoshi-san. Not to mention hyper.

He looked pleased. "Well, that's settled then, anata. What now?"

(A/N: I know only girls use anata as a term of endearment, but heck.)

HE CALLED ME ANATA! OH JOY! OH RAPTURE! OH ECSTASY!

(A/N: Ahihihihi . . . Gomen Kai, couldn't help myself. ^_^)

"A-Anata?" I tried to hide the fact that I was practically floating on cloud 9, but I think he figured that out.

"What, do you want me to call you something else?"

I shook my head yet again. "N-No, anata's . . . fine. Just . . . peachy."

Oh great, now I'm blathering on and on like some ditzy airhead . . .

(A/N: Much like me that time in Anime Quest . . . Screw that.)

He beamed at me again. "Great! Wanna go for a soda?"

I looked at him skeptically. "Are you asking me out?"

He smiled wryly. "No, anata, I'm trying to seduce you in the hopes that I may snog you tonight, what did you think?"

(A/N: A sarcastic Kiyota! I KNEW he had it in him! ^_^)

I punched his arm playfully. "Oh shut up you. Don't try to be all witty with me."

"No really, I'm trying to seduce you . . . Are you getting seduced?"

"Hardly. And I'd love a soda."

He grinned. "Yosha! So does this mean we're really a couple now?"

I smiled back. "What do you think?"

A/N: Well that was fast . . . Finished that in one sitting . . . No wait, make that two sittings, The Tower called me . . . Ahihihihihihihi . . . I made this chapter short on purpose!!! So, NO MORE FOURTH CHAPTERS, YA HEAR?!?!
