Hey there kiddoes, here's my fourth drabble (which was actually done while I chatted with my friend through Yahoo! Messenger. XD Dumdeedum.

Drabble # 4: Yuu x Nonoko

Main Genre: Friendship

Word of the Drabble: Support

Dedicated to: MissyJuliette, because you've always been there by me, sharing experiences and your own fair share of stories that filled up my inbox. Hi there, my closest acquaintance. (: Also dedicated to Bea, the quirky, heartbroken, lovesick, hyperactive friend I chatted with as I wrote this drabble. I mishu too, my big loser. (:

Election day. A time for fair play and good camaraderie. A time when students freely exercised their right to vote. But most especially, a time when support was the thing regarded as the most special commodity.

Nonoko shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she watched Iinchou squirm under the pressure of holding a debate against his opponent, especially as he was being scrutinized by pretty much the whole student body and wasn't a big fan of stage fright and cold feet himself.

"Uh, uhm I honestly th-think that m-more t-time for b-breaks should be g-given t-to the st-students to a-allow t-them to have more time t-to s-study a-and…" Yuu stuttered nervously, little beads of sweat starting to form on his forehead as the hot stagelights bore down its toll on him. His heart was thumping so loudly that he barely had time to notice the fact that he had trailed off in mid-statement. He swallowed thickly and tugged on the stiff scruff of his collar.

From the distance, a voice screamed, "Iinchou we love yoouuu!", which was enough to snap him back to reality.

Mental note: Remember to thank Kitsuneme for bringing him back down to earth.

He looked back at his opponent, Koyanagi Ryunosuke, with a wary glance as he noted his full crown of dark curly hair, alluring slate gray eyes, well-toned muscles that showed evidently enough underneath a formal, white dress shirt, and his impressive academy record and credentials.

Wait – for a second there, he almost seemed homo, staring him down like that.

"…to further improve the system," Ryunosuke finished off smoothly, his velvety voice rippling over the stunned silence that suddenly occupied the once noisy auditorium.

Okay, Yuu thought, I think I really need to start paying attention now.

"Tobita-san, in your opinion," the former council head stated in a clipped tone, "What are your thoughts and reactions to the addition of academic rest days?"

Focus, Yuu, focus.

He looked away from the speaker and grabbed the mic in front of him. As he drew in a deep breath before starting, he felt the weight of a hundred expectant stares push down on him. His nerves went frantic as he cooked up a reasonable and logical answer in his mind, his eyes aimlessly wandering through the audience in search of a single person.

And in the sea of faces, he eventually saw hers.

"Iinchou."

Yuu instinctively turned towards the sound of his name – rather, his title – being called.

It was Nonoko, and she had just caught up with him before he went through the auditorium's doors for the council debate and forum.

"Oh, hey Nonoko," Yuu managed to smile despite the nervewracking pressure that's been gnawing at his insides because somehow, it felt right when he had to in her presence.

"Later on, I-I just wanna say… uh, good luck."

Yuu felt a sliver of disappointment. "Oh, thanks." He pretended to take a reserved glance at his watch, "Well, I guess I better get going now…"

"Err…Right," Nonoko started to stalk off backwards towards the crowd that was headed for the main entrance of the auditorium.

"Right, see you." Yuu turned his back on Nonoko almost too reluctantly.

"Oh, and Yuu," Nonoko suddenly peeped, "Remember, I'll be there for you…like I've been there before."

Yuu couldn't help but smile, "Uhm, thanks," he flushed. "I'll keep that in mind."

Right where he kept his eyes locked, Nonoko gave him a reassuring thumbs-up.

"Actually," Yuu suddenly raised his voice in a confident manner, "It seems alright because we can get to spend some more time for matters that are most important to us."

I'll be there for you…

When the rain starts to pour.

I'll be there for you...

Like I've been there before.

I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts

If anybody here ever noticed, I got this song from the Friends soundtrack. If ever you were a big fan of the old school comedy series, you'd know. ;)

Spell Review. :)
