Just as she was dozing off, the loud tune of 'what it means to be a friend' (I've had that song stuck in my head all day X-D)
"Hello?" She answered her cell with a yawn.
"Hey babe. Just called to say goodnight." Kurt's voice said.
Kuki smiled. He was so sweet.
"You said that to me like an hour ago." She giggled.
"Yeah, well. I haven't seen you since then. I missed you."
"Aww, you're so sweet."
Wally sat on the couch, watching some weird scary movie.
'I should check that Numbuh 3's okay.' He thought to himself. 'Didn't they say in class that a person who's had a bump on the head shouldn't sleep?"
He followed his instinct and got up to go and check on his teammate.
He turned the corridor and made his way to Kuki's room. He knocked on the doorway and stepped through the curtain. Kuki obviously hadn't noticed as she was still talking on her cell.
"No I don't!" She giggled. "I know, I'm pretty tired…Okay…See you in the morning…I love you too."
Wally's stomach turned, he felt like he wanted to be sick. But he stayed put.
Kuki looked over in his direction and jumped slightly when she noticed him, but then smiled.
"Okay…Bye." She ended her call and then smiled tiredly at Wally.
"Hi Numbuh 4, did you want something?"
"Erm, no, I just…You know, came in to…er…Check that you were alright?" He stuttered.
Kuki looked at him confused, but then nodded. "I'm fine, thanks."
"Oh, Okay…I'll just…go then." He sighed, stepping out and walking grimly back to the couch.
As he sat down he got a text.
It was from Ben.
Up to boxing tomorrow?
There's a talent scout in the area and we might get lucky.
He smiled and replied.
Sure, I'm game if you are.
"What you watching?" Wally spun his head around as Kuki came in wrapped in her duvet. He scooched over as she sat next to him.
"I don't know. You can change it if you like." Wally mumbled.
"No, it's okay. Kurt's taking me to watch a movie like this tomorrow, I've gotta try and brave myself up. There's nothing on at this time anyway." She giggled and gave another yawn.
"I just got lonely and thought I'd come and keep you company. So, who you texting at this time? Not some girl we don't know about is it?"
Wally laughed nervously.
"I wish." He lied.
"Why? You're a good enough looking guy." Kuki smiled at him. "You could probably get any girl you wanted."
'Obviously not' He thought to himself, but just shrugged.
Kuki got herself comfortable on the couch and placed a part of her duvet over Wally as they watched the film quietly.
Wally chuckled to himself as he noticed that she got closer and closer to him during each scary part.
She obviously hadn't changed at all and still got freaked out pretty easy.
At the really gory part, Kuki buried her head in Wally's shoulder and covered her eyes with her hand.
"You do know it's not real right?" Wally chuckled at her.
"Yeah, but it's just…nasty…doesn't it worry you how people come up with ideas like this?" Kuki whined.
"No." Wally shook his head with a laugh.
Kuki ran her arm up his chest and grabbed onto his hoodie by his collarbone. Wally saw his chance and he decided to take it.
He stretched his arms up in the air. He then let his arm come down and rest on the back of the couch, next to her.
He waited for a few minutes and then began to ever so lightly tap her head with his fingers, like a spider was crawling on her. She jumped and looked up, Wally moved his hand back onto the couch before she saw it.
She ran her hand through her hair to check nothing was in it. When she did so, she resumed to her last position leaning against Wally. Before she could do so, he made a sudden grab at her and yelled at the top of his voice.
"BOO!"
Kuki screamed loudly. Then slapped Wally on his arm. He was now in stitches of laughter.
"That was just mean." She smiled, resting her head against his shoulder.
"Sorry but it was just so tempting. Man if I had a camera to see your face again!" He said, wiping a tear from his eye from still laughing. "What a picture!"
"Not fair." She pouted and yawned. Stretching out so that she was lying on her side, and sliding her head down Wally's arm until her head hit his lap.
Wally moved his arm to give her more comfort and then turned his eyes back to the film. After about ten minutes the film was over, he glanced down at Kuki who was now out cold.
'Forget it, I can't wake her.' He thought to himself, gently pushing her fringe out of her face.
He slowly moved over and placed a cushion under Kuki's head in replacement of his leg.
The duvet fell off as he stood up. He picked it up and placed it over her, then crouched down so that his face was level with her.
He rested his hands on his arms as he gazed adoringly at the sleeping beauty.
"You really do love him don't ya." He whispered, careful not to wake her up.
"He's not good enough for you Kooks…No-one ever will be in my eyes…You're too good, and sweet, and kind for any of those guys…including me."
He placed his lips on her forehead and inhaled her sweet scent as he kissed her gently.
"I'll always be here to look after you, no matter what. I've always been there to protect you. And I always will be."
With that, he stood up. Once more, he pushed her fringe from her eyes and then walked out into the corridor and into his room.
This emotion was getting stronger and stronger in his stomach, what it was he wasn't sure.
Love?...Sorrow?...Jealousy?…Want?...
He picked up his guitar and strummed. He began to sing to a song which he felt matched his feelings.
There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say what's going on
He was ten years old when he finally accepted that he loved her. He just never had the guts to tell her.
There's still a little bit of your ghost your witness
There's still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't say what's going on
Sure, at ten years old, even at sixteen. Adults would say, 'what would you know about love' or it's just a crush'.
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
He knew that they were wrong. Why else would it bother him so much about her that he'd put his life on line just to keep her safe.
There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on
He hated Numbuh 30c, he always had. But he decided that he should make an effort, for Kuki.
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So its not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon.
After all, he wanted her to be happy.
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage, teach me to be shy
'Cause its not hard to fall,
And I don't want to scare her
Its not hard to fall
And I don't want to lose
Its not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Since his confession to himself of his love for her, he'd always promised that take care of her.
Even if she wasn't his to protect, he still saw it as his duty.
A/N: I know, I just had to put a song into it. I just heard this song on my ipod and thought 'OMG Wallykukiness!!!!'
