Krad sighed picking half heartedly at his lunch, he'd forgotten to tell the lady at Taco Bell to leave the spicy cheese sauce off his stake bowl and he really hated that stuff. He glanced over and shook his head, Argentine was making out with Towa, Freedert and Elliot were making eyes at each other while Mio was chattering on her cell phone. Krad winced internally as he remembered the time that Argentine had set him and Mio up on a blind date. The date had ended with the two deciding just to be friends. Mio wanted a guy who was at least as wild as she was and Krad, well Krad didn't know what he wanted but it definitely wasn't Mio. The blond looked up and smiled as a book bag was set next to him, "Hey Dark." Then he pushed his barely touched lunch over in front of the purple-haired teen, "here."

Dark raised an eyebrow, "you don't want it?"

Krad shrugged, "I don't like spicy cheese sauce, and you do."

Dark rolled his eyes his friend could be so picky sometimes. He rummaged around in his backpack before coming up with an unsmashed granola bar. He dropped it on to the table in front of Krad.

The blond blinked and scooted it back over to Dark. "No thank you."

Dark in turn placed it back in front of the blond, "Eat it."

"I'm not hungry," Krad slid the bar back to its original owner.

Dark frown, "you're never hungry! I swear you eat less then any other person I've ever met." He pushed the bar back at his friend. "One of these days you're going to starve yourself to death by accident."

Towa smiled poking Argentine while nodding to the other side of the table. Argentine blinked, glanced over at his blond friend and smirked; mean while Mio had gotten off the phone and Freedert and Elliot also had turned. The five watch the interaction of the table's other two occupance, who were unaware of their now attentive audience.

"I don't want it," sniffed Krad taking a sip of his soda.

Dark sighed mentally alright time to bring out the big guns, "pleeeeeeeeeeease," he turn on all of his charm and even through in big puppy-dog eyes for good measure.

"Awe, all right," grumbled Krad. He never could refuse his friend when Dark started doing the puppy-dog eyes thing. The blond picked up the granola bar and began to unwrap it.

Dark smiled triumphantly and dug into the unwanted stake bowl.

A collective awwwwwwe rose from the other end of the table as Argentine, Towa, Freedert, Elliot and Mio all smirked at the other two.

If looks could kill Krad's glare would have not only taken those five out but probably half the population of the campus as well.

Mio placed a finger on her chin and cocked her head staring at the two young men. "You know," she started, "you two make a really cute couple."

Dark chocked on his food as Krad snorted some of his soda. "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"

Grinning Argentine hammered on Krad's back while the blond chocked and sputtered from breathing his soda rather then swallowing it. Once both Dark and Krad had stopped chocking on there respective swallowed items. The real fun... I mean conversation started.

"What makes you say that Mio?" Krad asked trying to regain his dignity, which was rather difficult under the given circumstances.

Mio blinked innocently, well as innocently as Mio could pull off, "it was just a random observation."

Towa nodded, "I actually agree with Mio." The other three at the table nodded along with the two girls.

Argentine leaned back blue eyes twinkling as he twirled a strand of shoulder length silver hair around a finger. "Anyway Krad you really do need to get..."

Amber eyes narrowed, "You can finish that sentence but just remember I know where you live."

Mio grinning wildly finish the sentence that Argentine had started, "laid."

Krad glared at her while a now amused Dark watched the proceedings.

"Shut up!" hissed a now furiously blushing Krad.

Argentine now grinning just as wildly as Mio continued needling his embarrassed friend, "she's right you know, you really do need to relax and just have some fun every once and a while. You know, get drunk, get your brains screwed out..."

Krad glared, "fuck you."

Argentine's smirk grew a bit bigger, "sorry, you're cute but I don't swing that way."

All the others at the table including Dark started to laugh at the appalled expression now on Krad's face.

The blond folded his arms on the table and berried his head, "I hate all of you."

Freedert smiled, "Hey, I've got an idea, why don't the seven of us go to that new club on Pine Street that just opened last week?"

"I'm not going anywhere with you people." muttered Krad grumpily.

Mio grinned ignoring the blond, "yeah, that sounds like a good idea Freedert and you know we might even find Kraddy a date."

"Yeah, maybe," chuckled Argentine, "Blondie really needs one, or better yet he just needs to get smashed and screwed."

"I can hear you just fine you know."

Towa also ignored Krad and added her two cents worth, "Hey Arge honey, do you think your cousins would give our little Krad-Chan a make over?"

"Yeah," Argentine nodded thoughtfully, "I think he just might."

"Would you people stop talking like I'm not here!" Krad raised his head and death glared the others. "And anyway I'm not going. I don't need a make over and I have homework to do tonight."

Dark patted his friend on the shoulder, "You should go." Then he lean closer and whispered into the blond's ear, "I'd go willingly or they'll most likely just kidnap you and hall you along anyway."

Krad sighed, "Oh alright."

"So," began Elliot, "What time do we want to meet at this club?"

"How about nine?" Asked Dark.

The other's all nodded.

Argentine clapped his blond friend on the shoulder, "don't worry, we'll get you looking good for tonight."

Krad groaned and laid his head back down, "Somebody up there really must hate me."
