Chapter 3: Homework

"Kaaaiiii~"

"No."

"But-"

"No."

"Only-"

"No."

Miwa gave up, throwing himself on the grass beside the stubborn brunet who was sleeping against a tree. The jerk is as stubborn as ever, Miwa sighed.

Kai cracked an eye open, wondering why the blond stopped begging. He expected-

"PLLLLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSE?!"

-a lot more. Kai sighed. "Miwa, you're already failing enough as it is. I can't tell you the answers to the test."

Miwa pouted. "But you have to! I don't have anyone else!"

Kai stood up and walked past the blond, who was trying to guilt trip him. Surprisingly, that usually worked. Kai was actually very loyal to those who were close to him. A good quality, though, Kai wished Miwa didn't know.

Miwa caught up to Kai. "You're going to abandon you're best friend in his time of need?"

Kai's eyes twitched. He continued to repeat to himself Miwa was an idiot.

Miwa knew he was close to winning. "You'll ruin our friendship!" Miwa exclaimed dramatically.

Kai stooped dead in his tracks. "Alright!"

"Yes!" Miwa pumped his fist.

"I'll help you study," Kai said.

"What?!"

"Could you explain that again?" Miwa asked, absent mindedly doodling on his notes.

Kai shook his head. "Last time."

"Will this be on the test?" Miwa asked after Kai explained.

Kai sighed. Three hours and the blond hadn't learned a thing. Not that he bothered to try.

"Are we done?" Miwa asked impatiently.

Kai stood up; he had enough. "Fail for all I care," Kai said and left Miwa's house.

"Oi!" Miwa opened the door and ran after him. "Wait a minute!"

"What?!" Kai snapped. He was on the verge of strangling Miwa.

Miwa smiled apologetically. "Sorry. I guess I should have tried harder."

"You should have tried is more accurate," Kai muttered.

Miwa laughed. "Yeah, I know. I'm ready to listen now. That is, if you still want to help me."

Kai thought about it. "Wait here."

Miwa cocked his head at that, but Kai left before he could ask. Kai came back with two ice cream cones in his hands.

"Here," Kai practically shoved the strawberry ice cream cone in Miwa's hands. After seeing Miwa's shocked look, Kai's face gained a small tint of red. "I thought we could take a break."

"Thanks!" Miwa grinned and bit into his ice cream. Kai licked his. They decided to eat at the park. Miwa was surprised when pigeons crowded around Kai.

Kai threw his cone on the ground, letting the birds eat it. One pigeon landed on his shoulder. Kai gently brushed its feathers. Miwa watched in amazement as more birds came closer to Kai. Some landing on his hand, others chirped at him.

"Give your cone to the birds," Kai said.

"Why me?!" Miwa exclaimed.

"Shh," Kai told him. "You'll scare them," he murmured, patting a bluejay.

"Fine," Miwa grumbled and placed his cone on the ground. The birds cocked their head at that and eyed Miwa, as if judging if he was good or not. The birds eventually took a chance and started to eat.

Kai smiled, watching them push each other for food. Another bird came on his shoulder, rubbing against him.

"Late again?" Kai smiled and placed the bird beside the others. "Let him eat, guys."

"Wow," Miwa watched as the birds did what Kai told them. "How do you do that?"

Kai shrugged. "They got used to me."

"There's a shocker," Miwa grinned.

Kai glared at him. "Time to study."

"Whhhhyyyyyy?!"

"How'd I do?" Miwa asked Kai for the tenth time.

"Miwa, your results haven't come in yet. I don't know," Kai stated exasperatedly.

"Okay. I got c on question 1, b on 2, d on 3, a on 4-"

"Just wait," Kai sighed.

"But I can't!" Miwa shouted dramatically.

"Did anyone ever tell you to join drama class?" Kai muttered.

"All the time!" Miwa grinned. "Should I?"

Kai groaned. "I don't know."

"How come whenever I ask something you don't know?" Miwa placed a hand on his heart. "Why do you torture me?"

"I should have kept quiet," Kai mumbled.

"No! That's the worst thing about you!" Miwa slapped a hand over his mouth and inched away when Kai glared demoniacally at him. "Ooooh, I think I hear my mom calling me! Gotta go!" Miwa ran past the lockers and made it outside. He bent down to catch his breath.

"That was close," Miwa sighed.

"Oh? Was it?"

Miwa yelped, surprised. He shrank into a tiny little form when Kai growled at him, demonic flames around him. "You should join the team!" he yelled the first thing that came to his mind.

Despite being angry, Kai couldn't keep a straight face. Kai smiled a little. "You idiot."

Miwa blinked. "Am I forgiven?" he grinned.

"Maybe."

That was a good enough answer for Miwa. He grinned and walked beside Kai.

"So did you hear about that new rare card?" Miwa asked.

That caught Kai's attention. "Rare card?"

"Yeah! It's also a Kagero!" Miwa grinned. "Card Captial should have it! I'll get it before you!" Miwa shouted and ran towards the shop.

Kai rolled his eyes. "Getting there before me won't guarantee you the card!" he called. Still, it was a challenge.

Kai ran after him.

"Meow!" the black jumped awake when someone ran in, his shoes scraping to a stop.

Misaki looked up from her book, ready to give this person a piece of her mind when her eyes met green. "Kai?" This was weird. It was very uncharacteristic for the brunet to burst into the store.

"Hey," Kai nodded and turned to the door.

"Are you waiting for Miwa?" Misaki asked.

Kai smirked. "Something like that."

After a few minutes, Miwa ran into the store, falling to his knees out of breath. Kai casually held out his hand.

"I win."

"Cheater!" Miwa retorted, out of breath, but he took the offered hand.

"You had a thirty second head start," Kai stated smoothly.

"I didn't know you were going to do it!" Miwa exclaimed.

Kai shrugged.

Miwa sighed. "Hey, do you have a water bottle?"

"No drinks allowed," Misaki said from behind the counter.

"But Nee-chan!" Miwa whined. "I'm dying here!"

"Your problem," Misaki said, emotionless.

"You're worse than Kai," Miwa mumbled.

Kai ignored him and bought a Booster Pack. Miwa did the same.

"Last one," Miwa stated, holding the fifth card. He slowly turned it.

"It's a Trigger!"

"Quiet," Misaki stated, her voice cold.

Miwa sighed. "Why is this day going so bad?"

"Got it," Kai said, holding the card. "Oi!"

Miwa snatched the card out of his hand. "This is so unfair!"

"Give me that," Kai took it out of his hand.

"Please?" Miwa begged, eying the card.

"Forget it."

"I'll be your best friend," Miwa grinned.

"Lord forbid," Kai muttered.

"Hey!"

"B+!" Miwa jumped in the air. "Whoo!"

Kai frowned on his bench, pulling his school bag over his face. "Go away."

"But I got a B+!" Miwa retorted. "Can you believe it!"

"Not at all," Kai muttered.

"Why do you have to ruin the mood!" Miwa shouted.

Kai sighed, sitting up. He wasn't going to get much sleep.

"Do you have a reason for annoying me?" Kai asked.

"Can you help me with some homework?" Miwa asked, holding out his work.

Kai blinked, a little surprised by the blond's desire to work.

"Sure."

Miwa grinned and sat next to Kai.

"They are asking for you to add this and... "

Sorry if this wasn't so good. I'm kind of tired and I wanted to try a story that didn't really have a plot. Please Review!
