Author's notes: I couldn't think of a nicer title for this Yzak-drabble, so please excuse my bad titles.
Summary: Yzak watches both Dearka and Miriallia from the sidelines and takes his conclusions.

There they go again, making goo-goo eyes at each other when they assume that the other one isn't looking. Dearka makes them first, turns away abruptly, missing the eyes that the girl is giving him, before she herself turns away and missing Dearka's own.

They continue this routine until either one of them yield—usually ending up with Dearka making up an excuse to help at the back and if not, with that girl running away, looking guilty and embarrassed.

In the beginning it is really amusing to see them both do things like that—

They would do silly stuff whenever they are within the mere 3 feet radius of one another's spaces; like for example, in Dearka's case, giving sparkly smiles (with the result of getting weird looks from the girl), making stupid jokes (which aren't even funny in his opinion, but the girl seems to like it) and afterwards grinning like an idiot when he got the girl—chuckling, or at least smiling.

And what about in the girl's case? She would randomly drop her napkins (by accident) whenever his friend Dearka (coincidentally) passes, give him a cold shoulder on certain times (and making him lag behind like a kicked puppy) and afterwards, granting said friend a small mysterious quirk of a smile whenever he tries to cheer her up.

Which brings him back to -in the beginning, it is really amusing to see them do things like that. Now, it is getting on his nerves. Those longing looks they send each other whenever they do stupid things are really annoying him now—and what is worse, those two aren't even aware of their actions!

How can two intelligent people (assuming the girl is smart herself) act so unintelligent at the same time?

It is like seeing Dearka repeatedly back his head against his desk for no reason! Dearka is probably the worst of the two, because..., well, he is his best friend, right? Yzak Joule is never one to make friends with idiots, so it's rather an insult for some reason that his -Best- friend is acting so—out of character.

He refuses to acknowledge the possibility that his friend likes that girl--really, how can Dearka, the one he knows best, like a girl whom Dearka has barely spoken to, aside from the joking and the occasional polite greetings? (Hmmm, the girl doesn't look so bad herself. She -is- considered cute, after all. BUT that doesn't really mean that Dearka could go act all stupid in front of every pretty girl who steps into the parlor!)

Never in his entire life has he come across such a situation--liking a girl whom one barely knows.
The possibility of Dearka hanging out with said girl after his shift hasn't crossed his mind until now—Dearka did mention that he and the girl take the same 11 PM bus home—

-perhaps that's how Dearka starts liking that girl. Well, whatever—he still thinks it is annoying to see his friend looking and acting like a lovesick fool.

He grumbles something incoherently, glowering at Dearka as the latter starts exchanging another round of looks with that girl, and viciously slurps the remaining Special Sundae through the straw.

!

He immediately regrets doing it and cradles his head in a poor attempt of warding off the pain. His brain has just received a below-zero-degree shock of cold.

"Yzak, what's wrong?" Dearka asks worriedly and pries his hands away.

"Ugh-" is all he could mutter as he grits his teeth and squints his eyes.

"I told you not to eat your Sundae so quickly. You can be such a hog, Yzak," Through his squinting eyes, he could see Dearka's amused face. He scowls and goes back to cradling his head.

"Shut up, you. Go back to your staring contest with your girl!" He retorts, still cradling his head. With some satisfaction, he watches Dearka's face go red. The idiot.

TheNekoTalks:

:lol: I'm not sure what to say about this... it's just so amusing and it has some spoilers to the upcoming chapters for "Hear the Beating". I deliberately didn't write Miriallia's name, because I am actually assuming you have read "Hear the Beating", right? Which means Yzak hasn't really met Miriallia formally yet.
I apologize for the extreme Out of Character-ness.

Thank you for taking your time reading this!
