Codename Lane

"Hey Kuki, sorry to keep to you waitin'" Wally called out as he exited the school building.

"No, I'm sorry for getting you distracted and humiliating you." Kuki said. Getting up from her seat which on the stairs leading to the high school.

"That's not your fault." Wally said. As they started walking together.

"Yes, it is. Don't think I didn't hear the laughing." Kuki said sadly.

"Look, everything's fine, you worry about too much Numbuh 3-" Wally suddenly froze. He had just called her…

"Wally! Just tell me what you and Numbuh 2 were talking about!" Numbuh 3 said.

"I told ya! It's nothin'!" Numbuh 4 defended.

"No it's not!" Numbuh 3 said.

"Why do ya care?" Numbuh 4 asked.

"Because I do! You are acting weird!" Numbuh 3 said frustrated.

"Look, everythins' fine, you worry too much Numbuh 3-"

"That's it! I finally get it!" Cried out the girl.

"Wha?" He asked in confusion.

"You are SO embarrassed of when I called you Wally! You barely call me Kuki! Then you and Numbuh 2 were making fun of me for it!" Cried out Numbuh 3 turning away from the Aussie with a pout.

"W-wait, Numbuh 3, that's not-"

"Don't lie to me Wallabee!" Kuki turned to yell at him, Wally cringed at his real name. Man, he sore sometimes that she was just like his mum.

"Kuki!" He cried out in frustration, "I called you Kuki so much that Numbuh 2 was making fun of 'me' because of it!" He explained putting his hands on her shoulders.

"…Really?" She asked.

"Yeah…" Numbuh 4 said a blush forming on his cheeks slowly putting his hands off his shoulders.

"Well, if Numbuh 2 gives you hard time you can bring him to me. I could easily teach him a thing or two about names…" Numbuh 3 said sweetly. Numbuh 4 shuttered at the things Numbuh 3 could do.

"K-Kuki, don't worry about it." He said hesitantly, "I can take a good whopping to him." He then said confidently.

She sighed, "Ok Wally, but I'm sorry if calling me by Kuki gets like that… you don't have to call me that." She said, turning her gaze of off the Aussie.

"Wait a minute! Look, Kuki, I like calling you that. I really do, I just… sometimes say it when the others are around." He said. "Don't think I don't like your name, cause I do. It's… cute." He finished the last part quietly.

"Oh." She blushed, "Thanks Wally." She said.

"Heh, no problem Kooks." He said cheeky.

"Wally! We're here." He heard a voice zone him back in. He looked to the side to see his home right there. Then Kuki shaking his arm, wanting to get his attention.

"Ah," He said as a sharp pain came to his head.

"Wally, you okay?" Kuki stopped shaking his arm, but held it gently now. She looked at him with concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He said. "Lets just go in."

"Wait." She said, she looked away from him and blushed.

"What… if your family gets the wrong idea?" She asked blushing.

"Then let'em think that. I'm pretty sure they'll figure out that's not true sooner or lator." He shrugged.

"O-okay…"

"Hey, if ya wanna, we could just go to your place-"

"No! This is fine. We are here anyway right?" Kuki said quickly.

"Right…" Wally said slowly. "Hey, don't worry 'bout a thing. mum and dad won't get the wrong idea. Just keep clam and everythin' will be fine." He said putting a hand on Kuki's shoulder. Kuki took a deep breath and let it out slowly, she opened her eyes and smiled at Wally.

"Thanks Wally." She said cutely with a little blush on her cheeks.

"Heh, no problem Kooks." He said cockily, "Lets get in now."

"Okay!"
