Really Stupid Cupid

Summary:Slightly AU, Tobias is human. Marco is voted his class's Cupid, so he has to get the voted couple together. And guess who they are... the couple will be the two who'll never seem to realize they like each other... Tobias and Rachel. And Marco only has till the Valentines Day dance.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own any of this... though I wouldn't mind owning Tobias...

Jake-

"That was really irresponsible," I muttered to Marco at lunch. He shook his head.

"It worked."

"So- oh, yeah, it did."

We watched Rachel and Tobias openly flirting with each other, as if they were so innocent.

"My gosh," Cassie sighed as she sat down next to me (it had basically spread throught the whole school that we were together, so...). "Those two are almost as clueless as Marco."

"Yea-" Marco began, "Wait a sec... hey!"

Ignoring him, Cassie continued. "I don't even think they truly realize that they like each other."

"Idiots," I agreed.

Marco cackled evilly.

"That's why I am still brewing up my evil plot!"
"You know that Rach's gonna kill you once she figures out what hapenned."

"Ah, yes. But her happiness is all worth it."

"Oh really. And that whole, 'Cupid gets his pick of the girls to dance with if he succeeds, and they have to do it' thing means nothing to you?"

Marco lifted his head up from where he was scoping a couple of girls.

"Huh? Oh. That. No, all for the couple's happiness. And that 'F' I'll get if I can't get them together means nothing, too."

Tobias-

Have you ever had the feeling that you are doing the wrong thing?

Uh, I feel like it nearly every time... uh, this is really hard to say... well, to be honest, I feel that way every time I'm with Rachel.

I'm not making a move. I'm as silent as I was a hawk about my feelings. Stupid, stupid, Tobias!

At least, that's what I say to myself all the time.

Mentally, that is. I hope.

Anyway, Rachel's just... above my level. Why would she want to date me? I was contemplating this, sitting under my tree, when Cassie walked by.

"Hey, Tobias," She smiled.

"Oh. Hey."

"You seem depressed."

Duh.

I laughed. "Really? I was just acting."

She sat down, crossing her legs. Cassie's a pretty girl, I'll admit that. You can see why Jake dates her. But then, that's just one reason. He also loves the way she acts... basically everything about her. I like her, but as a friend (a/n: No offense to anyone who writes these fics, I just... well, I just get annoyed by Cassie/Tobias fics.).

"It's Rachel, isn't it?" Cassie murmured.

"No!" I exclaimed, running my fingers through my hair.

Cassie laughed. "You know that you're just saying that. You know that you lo-"

"Cassie!" I muttered, cutting her off. "It's more complicated than you think."

She looked me in the eye. "Hello! I'm dating Jake."

"Yeah," I admitted, "But this is different. You and Jake... you were able to be 'just friends' in the beginning, before the war even began, and you knew each other all that well. You're feelings for him were platonic. Mine for Rach... they've never been that way."

Cassie arched one eyebrow. "You mean, it was the love at first sight deal?"

I shook my head. "Not love at first sight. I just knew that I had feelings for her. But something told me it would never work out, so why get my hopes up?"

Cassie put a hand on my shoulder and tried to shake me. It didn't exactly work, but she spoke anyway.

"Tobias," She sighed, "Why didn't you make a move, then?"

"Because," I sighed, "I was a hawk, Cass! It wouldn't have ever worked."

"But Tobias," Cassie whispered, "It can now."

"I... I just don't want to ruin our friendship," I looked at the ground. "But I already have."

"How?"

"Cassie... I think I may love her."

Duh... R and R!
