Dark poked his new boyfriend in the shoulder, "Hey, look over there."

Krad blinked glancing over at a table across the union. He blinked again, "Is that the stalker's sister?"

Dark jabbed his boyfriend in the ribs. "That's not very nice, anyway Riku is a lot nicer then Risa." He nodded in her direction. "Want to go meet her?"

"Sure," shrugged Krad, he and Dark gathered up there lunches and headed across the union.

Riku looked up startled as a shadow fell across her table. She blinked in surprise at the two people regarding her.

"May we join you?" asked Dark hesitantly.

Riku nodded dumbly and the two boys seated themselves across from her.

The silence at the table stretched awkwardly between the table's occupants with each sneaking glances at the others. It was Krad who finally broke the tension. "I was wondering," He looked at Riku, "weren't you in Professor King's Theater of the Western Culture last spring?"

"Yea," nodded Riku, "Eleven o'clock, row seven third seat back."

Krad nodded, "Same hour, row five second seat back."

Riku perked up, "So what did you think of the class?"

"Hmm," Krad cocked his head, "I actually really enjoyed it. I think my favorite project was the costume design at the end."

Riku nodded, "I liked that but I also really liked our acting directing project. I remember your project you did a really good job on the part of Sammie."

Krad grinned "Thanks," his smile saddened. "I had my mom read the parts of Vinnie while I did my parts when I practiced." The blond poked at his food for a moment before looking up at Riku. "What did you think of the plays?"

"Hmm," Riku tapped her chin with her fork, "I wasn't fond of any of the plays that we had to read, I hated the first play we had to see and loved the last one." She shrugged.

"I agree that the ones that we had to read were dry and a little boring."

Riku gave him a look.

Krad sighed, "Okay, okay I had to play computer games to stay awake while reading them." He shrugged. "I also have to agree with you about the first play. The actors, director and others who worked on it did a great job but the play plot itself sucked." He nibbled on a fry.

Dark sighed propping his chin in his hand, it was nice to see that Krad and Riku were getting along. He had always liked Riku, she was the nicest of Daisuke's friends and they had always gotten along. Maybe Krad wouldn't mind if she joined there group. He grinned and when the blond wasn't looking he stole one of the others fries.

"I really thought that they did a great job on the second play. I love Puck and the go cart seen..." without pausing in his conversation Krad grabbed Dark's wrist before the purple-haired teen could snitch another one of his fries. "I also really enjoyed the costumes."

Riku nodded in agreement with what the blond was saying. "I know, the costumes were amazing, so were the sets, lighting and sound." She glanced at her watch, "Oh, I've got to go to class." She quickly gathered up her books and trash. "It was really fun talking to you guys."

Krad and Dark looked at each other then back at Riku.

"Would you like to join us again?" asked Dark.

Riku paused startled, "You wouldn't mind?"

"No," said Krad softly, "We noticed that you aren't hanging out with Daisuke any more and we thought that you might like someone to hang out with. Any way," he shrugged, "I like you."

Riku smiled, "Thanks, that would be really nice. I'll see you guys later." She hurried off for class.

Dark and Krad looked at each other again,

"Do you think she's going to cause problems? Do you really think that she is against Daisuke now?" asked Dark as he snitched another fry.

Krad cocked his head "I like her, I think once she hangs around us for a while she'll see the truth." He moved his fries out of Dark's reach.

Dark smiled and nodded, "I think you're right." He leaned over pecking his boyfriend on the cheek. The blond promptly turned an adorable shade of red.

Dark chuckled and swiped another fry.

"Would you quit eating my food! You've got your own!"
