Authors note: Ok, so this was finished on Halloween (I dressed up as Matt and my bestfriend Becca dressed up as Mello, what did you guys go as?), you know, because of L's birthday and all, but then my internet started to screw up, and I think I broke my computer's wifi stick thing, so I had to retype ALL of this onto my other computer so I could get it up, and I hate doing things twice so you could guess how annoyed I was with that, anyways, please enjoy this chapter, it didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but I still like it!
Peace in!

Title: One friendChapter two: First Crush
Lone was in class, barely listening to the teacher knowing that he'd somehow be able to retain all of the information he was telling the class. He was sitting beside a girl named Kinky, who was scribbling furiously into a notebook in an attempt to remember all of the information Mr. J was telling them.
Said eight-year-old boy looked around the room in a pointless attempt to find something to captivate him for a few moments, and could find nothing besides a short and thin redheaded girl sitting a seat or two away from him.
He wasn't sure why the redhead cut his attention, there was nothing completely different about the way she dressed or look; she had soft brown eyes, pin straight red hair that was pulled up in a side ponytail and had not one freckle on her face. Her attire was simpler then the one Kinky wore; it was simply at black tank top, worn blue jeans and thick-rimmed glasses, so it wasn't the outfit that made it hard to look away.
The black haired boy stared at the redhead, a million thoughts crossing his mind but all of them being dismissed as weird, and after a few seconds, the redheaded girl turned towards him and stared back at him with wonder and curiosity in her eyes, and neither of the two children dared to look away.
"Lone and Warm, please stop staring at each other and pay attention to the lesson, there will be a test in a few days," Mr. J told them, which made Lone unwillingly stop starring at the young woman long enough for Kinky to give him a note.
Lo! Do you like Warm or something? Because it sure looks like you do, and I'm not trying to be nosy, but I'm your best friend and you know how curious I am about these things!
The young boy rolled his eyes at Kinky's nosiness before scribbling something down on the piece of paper denying that statement before passing it back to the blonde, who's face was already hidden behind a book.
Lone attempted to look at Warm discreetly before noticing that she was glaring at him, with anger in her eyes, she was probably annoyed that he had gotten her in trouble with the teacher, Lone suspected there was a 89% chance of this, however if anybody asked him, he knew that he'd save them the misery of the truth and tell them 5% or something low like that.
"And that'll be all for today, go enjoy your lunch," Mr. Jay announced and the raven haired boy barely listened to him, as he was still starring at Warm, who was now jumping out of her seat and practically running out of the room angrily. Kinky giggled, which was what snapped Lone back to the real world. "So?" She questioned and L tipped his head to the side as they walked out of the class beside each other.
"L! I'm not an idiot, you like Warm, don't you?" She questioned, and Lone noticed a small amount of strain in her words but ignored it, "Why does Kinky-san think that?" he told her and she smiled softly before waving to a girl across the room, "Because," the blonde answered stubbornly and he sighed, her response wasn't something he usually accepted, and he wouldn't have if it was anybody else.
"She's really pretty, L. You should kiss her." She said as she held a hand to her mouth to cover up her high-pitched giggle without much success. Said boy rolled his eyes before looking at the redhead that was sitting across the room with a handful of other girls their age, he could feel knots begin to tie themselves in his stomach, but they weren't knots that one would get when they had a crush on someone, no, these knots were from an overwhelming, uncomfortable feeling telling him not to kiss Warm, and Lone was tempted to agree with those feeling for, he really felt nothing for the girl.
"I don't think I want to," He said as he pulled his long sleeve white shirt over his knuckles, not that he had to try hard considering the shirt was a few sizes to big on him. "Why not?" Kinky asked curiously as she grabbed the plate of spaghetti that Ms. R was handing her, Lone grabbed one as well before walking to their table, which was at the entire other side of the lunch room. "I think Kinky-san reads too much romance," He stated and the girl giggled before hitting him the arm softly, a goofy grin on her face.
"Well L, if you don't want to kiss her, then who do you want to kiss?" She asked and made Lone wonder when he ever agreed to let her call him 'L', and furthermore, since when was he going to kiss anybody at all? "Why must I kiss anybody in the first place?" The boy demanded, and the blonde frowned at him before putting her hands on her hips. "I'm not quite sure as to why you have to, I just know that it'd be really cute! This place holds nothing emotional, L, and I want that to change. So can you please, kiss someone?" the girl finished her explanation (though in Lone's opinion it sounded much more like a rant) and Lone starred at her wide eyed, because the rant itself wasn't something the girl would have normally said, nor was it something that Lone would have normally agreed to, but he did agree with what the girl said, this place really was cold.
After a few moments the blonde girl moved a few strands of hair out of her face. "Sorry, L, I shouldn't pressure you into doing something you don't want to do, besides, I'm guessing I'm the only one here who notices the lack of emotion here…" The blonde trailed off and the raven-haired boy stared down at the girl. He just realized that not only was he confused with what he was feeling, but he was also confused about what the girl wanted.
The girl frowned when she noticed him starring, and asked as to why he was doing so, and in reply, the boy just blinked.
"Would Kinky-san want me to kiss her?" he finally asked, his voice not sounding as strong as he wanted it to, and he realized only after that she could take the two different ways, but at this point in time, he didn't really think it mattered.
The blonde blinked before moving a strand of hair nervously away from her face, "Who?" she asked nervously.
"Kinky-san." The boy answered with more courage, which made the side of his lips twitch upward because you could hear it in his words, but he slapped the look off of his face faster then it came when he realized that the blonde sitting beside him, was starring with surprise written all over her face, but she quickly nodded her head and took her hands out of the pockets of her long white skirt, waiting intently.
The boy took a long, uneven breath before tilting his head to the side and pressing his small pale lips against hers, praying to whatever god that was out there that he was doing it right.
After a few moments, they both pulled away. Lone kept his eyes closed for a few more seconds, in fear of what the expression on Kinky's face was going to be, but then realized that he was being ridiculous, because the blonde had agreed to kiss him back, therefore, she wasn't allowed to be disgusted with him, so very slowly, he opened his eyes and saw the blonde eating on a strawberry with a smile on her face.
"What is it, Kinky-san?" the boy asked curiously, he wanted to know why she was smiling, for he didn't know if he was making fun of him, or if she had enjoyed it.
She finished chewing her strawberry before grabbing his hand and saying, "It's better in real life then it is in books."
Authors note: Did you like it? I'm sorry I didn't update on L's birthday like I originally planned! Also, I was going to make L kiss Kinky, and then make Kinky lesbian, however when I was writing, I figured It'd be a lot cuter if I make L and Kinky kiss, so that's what I did. If you guys want, I could write it the other way too? But that might ruin future chapters, so review and tell me what you think! Requests are always welcome, but the idea has to fit in the fanfic for me to use it!
Peace in!
