I own nothing.

-IIXII-

Ruby was a sweet girl, and Kval was well aware of that.

She was probably the most sweetest little bundle of positive energy that he'd ever seen, and met, in his entire life. Let's not even begin on her level of cuteness. It's off the charts!

Indeed, she was like a sweet little angel.

So why was it that she was sending a menacing look his way?

"Um…" Kval backed away from the couch which Ruby was occupying, all by herself, before poking at Summer's hand in order to get the young woman's attention. "D-Do I need to ask?"

Summer sent a sheepish grin his way, and that somehow made him uneasy.

"Well, we went to the dentist today and um…"

Ah. That explained everything. No wonder why she was making a face that screamed 'I've made the entire world my enemy' while giving menacing looks to everything around her…

"I'm assuming that things didn't go well?" Kval asked.

Summer chuckled in response which, to Kval, sounded somewhat nervously. That alone was all he needed in order to know.

"It's the price that she has to pay for eating too many sweets lately." Summer sighed, and Kval soon found himself nodding in understanding.

"I see," he responded.

"Anyway, I've got to go and buy the ingredients for tonight's dinner, and I'll be borrowing your brother for a bit, so take care of her for me!" Summer explained with a huge grin. "Later!"

"Eh? What!?" Kval quickly turned to the young woman, only to see a handful of white rose petals drifting down near the spot where she had been standing mere moments ago. And just like that, she was gone. "E-Eh…?" Figuring that he was now all alone, Kval gulped and slowly turned his attention towards the menacing Ruby.

And boy, she did not look happy.

Putting up a nervous smile, Kval brought up a hand and waved at the girl in a nervous manner. "H-Hey Ruby…"

In response, Ruby's menacing stare intensified.

Kval found himself gulping once more. But even so, he decided that backing down was the last thing he needed, so with that in mind, Kval forced himself forward and sat himself down on the couch.

Right now, he could practically feel the menacing aura being focused solely on him. It's a miracle that he wasn't dead by now, to be perfectly honest.

Wow. This is a first, Kval thought, all the while ignoring the sudden chill that went down his spine. I guess even angels could turn into menacing beasts every once in a while…

When the silence was beginning to get on his nerves, Kval began to awkwardly look around him, everywhere but Ruby for obvious reasons of course, in order to keep his mind occupied. While he did, he spotted a small toy giraffe beside him. How did he not notice that? It looked cute, and Kval then smiled when an idea came bursting its way into his head.

Grabbing the small toy, Kval then turned to Ruby and put up a friendly grin. "Look Ruby, it's a giraffe! Isn't it cute?" He held out the toy towards the ticking bomb, and soon pulled his hand away when said bomb slapped the poor toy away, knocking it out of his grasp. "Ah."

"Stupid giraffe! It's stupid!" Ruby grabbed the toy giraffe by the neck and started slamming it against the couch repeatedly, beating the poor thing with an inch of its life. She was basically throwing a tantrum at this point. "Stupid! Stupid stupid stupid stupid!" she yelled. "Not cute!"

As the scene was unfolding before him, Kval let out a nervous chuckle and scratched his cheek. Something told him that he screwed up somehow. Big time. He then slammed a fist onto the palm of his hand when another idea came swinging into his head.

"Hey Ruby," Kval called out, grinning. "What about me? Am I cute?"

The toy giraffe which she had been beating for the last few seconds came flying towards his head, knocking him off the couch.

"Ow!"

Kval held his forehead as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. And yes, it was painful. He slowly sat himself up and rubbed at the painful spot on his head, wincing every now and then, only to pause when a sudden gasp reached his ears. With one eye closed due to the pain, Kval turned his gaze over to the couch, and was quite startled when a red and black blur came flying towards him.

And the next thing Kval knew, Ruby was hugging him.

"R…Ruby?"

Things went silent for a while, but then she finally spoke.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. My stupid mouth hurts…"

Kval slowly faced down and found himself staring at the top of Ruby's head. She wasn't looking at him, and that somehow made him smile, oddly enough.

"It's fine," he said. "I probably shouldn't have asked that dumb question in the first place."

Ruby buried her face into his chest. "You're not cute…" she mumbled.

Kval chuckled. Yeah, he should have seen that one coming from a mile away. "I know. That's why I-"

"But I think you're cool."

Kval paused, mouth agape, cheeks aflame, and his eye widened.

"E-Eh?"

"You heard me."

Ruby pulled back and grinned at him. She then went up to her feet and continued by hugging his head to her chest, much to the boy's confusion and embarrassment.

"R-Ruby, what are you-"

"Shh…"

Kval's cheeks reddened further. He decided to do as he was told.

"Pain, pain, go away. Come again another day," Ruby sang in a gentle voice while caressing Kval's hair. "Pain, pain, go away…"

"U-Um…Ruby, I think-"

She then suddenly leaned down and kissed his sore spot.

Kval went rigid.

"There!" Ruby pulled herself away from the blushing Kval with a bit of pink dusting her pale cheeks, grinning as she did so. "All better! How do you feel?"

In response, Kval shakily reached up and touched that certain spot on his head, and mumbled, "Words are not enough to describe what I am feeling right now, Ruby."

Ruby's little grin turned itself into a smile upon receiving Kval's answer, and her blush soon brightened up as well.

"You're welcome," she said, giggling soon after.

D'aww! How cute! Though I must admit that Kazuma was lucky he survived that...
