On a school day, Michelle was in the music room and was dancing by herself when she was suddenly felt someone's hands on her waist, pulling her close. She opened her eyes to look into the emerald eye of her friend.

"How did you know where i was?"

"You always come here to sneak in a dance lesson or two before Tyki's every year." Lavi laughed as he spun her around.

"Well, i don't want to embarrass myself at the party." Michelle pouted as she followed his lead.

They danced along with the music. The music ended but they didn't pull away from each other.

Michelle looked up at Lavi to see him staring back at her.

"What?" She asked, suddenly self-conscious. "Is there something on my face?"

He smiled gently. "No, theres nothing at all."

She narrowed her eyes a little. "You're acting very strange."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "Does it have something to do with Lenalee?" She smirked as they continued to sway to the music.

"It does."

"Oh, are things getting serious?" She smirked.

He sighed. "Michelle."

Her smiled dropped as she looked into his eye that were full of seriousness.

"What's wrong? What is it?" Michelle stopped moving as she looked at him.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out.

"Lavi?"

"Its nothing." He said at last. He pulled away from her and grabbed his stuff off the floor. "Come on. We should head home. Its getting late."

Michelle debated if she wanted to pursue it further or not, but decided against it.

She stopped the music and grabbed her stuff as she followed him out of the classroom.

They walked home in silence and Michelle was still curious about what he wanted to tell her.

He walked in front of her and she couldn't help but stare at him. He was her best friend and something was obviously bothering him but she couldn't bring herself to ask him what it was.

Finally, curiosity got the better of her, and she ran to catch up with him. She reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Lavi." He said.

He stopped and looked at her.

"Tell me whats wrong."

"Nothing is wrong." He said as he ran his hand through his red hair.

"There is obviously something bothering you."Michelle said as she pointed to his face. "You have bags under your eyes so that means you haven't been sleeping properly. The only time you aren't sleeping properly are when something is bothering you or when you're up reading all night with projects that Gramps tell you to do."

Lavi sighed. "Its not that big of a deal."

"Tell me."

"Its really nothing." Lavi said as he continued walking.

She sighed and seeing as he wasn't going to tell her, she stopped prying.

"Its pizza Thursday, you're still coming over right?" She asked.

"Yeah, I am."

"Ok good."

Then the whole walk home was them just messing around, talking about useless and pointless things.

She wanted to ask what was bothering him but with his stubbornness, he was not going to her. Yet.

But she figured that he will tell her when he's ready. She just really wanted to know now though.

What they didn't know where that they were being watched, by two different pairs of eyes that were observing them from the dark.
