Thanks to the people out there who reviewed and said they liked the concept of this series of fics. You people are an inspiration.
Hehe, I like this. I was inspired by a thread that Rabid Lola (as Arisa) and Riyuji (as Kyou) were doing over at Winglica, so I sorta based this drabble on it. It's not a romantic pairing thing or whatever, but if you choose to see it that way, then who'm I to stop you?

There is a message – almost telepathic – that can be exchanged between two people; like the tap-tap-taping of a telegraph sending messages in morse code, except quieter. More discreet.
In a way, he had communicated that message, and it had reached her. Her, of all people…
It was difficult to tell who of the two was more surprised. What had begun as a seemingly innocent form of banter had evolved into something more complex and confusing, something that made them both stop to think a while, pause, then mentally shout a "WHAT?" that reverberated for quite a long time in their minds.
Did I just say what I think I said?
He went red, a bright shade that went well with his orange head.
Did I just understand what I think I understood?
She had been struck dumb for a second, and for once her brain did not issue for her a snappy retort.
WHAT?
Ridiculous!
Preposterous!
Impossible!
We are relating?
If shock hadn't gotten to either one of them first, they would've laughed themselves hysterical… but there was a time for that, and a time for serious things.
You really do dig her, eh?
Yeah… Yeah I do.
Serious moments don't last long, as this one proved. They were at it again – at each other's throats with teasing words and quick retorts; maybe even a light punch or two. As always. As usual. Acting like nothing's changed.
And nothing did change, really. They'd just come to an agreement. Maybe understood each other a little more.
I'll kill you if you mess her up.
Heh. Bring it, Yankee.
