Unrequited
By Cybra
To parron: For you and your little Chad/Mushi obsession. I hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Do I look like Tom Warburton? No. Didn't think so. I don't own Codename: Kids Next Door, either.
He was more perfect for her than Sandy: Those golden locks, those brown eyes, that smile.
So what if he always fought with her sister and those other older kids? He was perfect.
She would always watch him when he was not looking. Sometimes she would giggle as he talked to his friends, his smooth voice like honey to her young ears.
She never told her sister where she really went for fear of discovery. Her dear sister would certainly never approve of the match.
Not that they were actually together, but maybe some day.
Sometimes she would daydream about that day. He would turn and see her. Then he would realize what she had known along: They were perfect for one another. Then he would sweep her off her feet, and they would live happily ever after, just like in the movies.
It would all be one beautiful love story. Perhaps she would even help him reconcile his differences with her sister and those other kids.
While spying on him one day, he did turn around and see her.
Her heart stopped; she blushed at his gaze.
"What're you staring at, you little brat?" he snarled. "Get out of here!"
She left, embarrassed but not deterred.
Someday Chad would know that she was perfect for him. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday.
And when he realized that, Mushi would be there for him.
