Who should I draw? Maria thought. Me and Kiku have been friends for so long and I think I have a huge crush on him... She thought and gave a sigh... Oh the other hand, there's also Arthur who acts all tsundere, but I do like him, and I do wanna give him something special, he did give me something special last year..

-Flashback-

"Hey Maria, I want to you give you something." Arthur said as he approached Maria.

"Hey Arthur. And what would that be?" Maria asked.

"I bought this for you." He said and held out an expensive chocolate box, filled with expensive British chocolate.

"Eh? But that's too expensive for me?" Maria exclaimed.

"Oh don't worry about the prize, as long as it's from the heart." Arthur said as he gave a blush.

"Well… If you insist…" Maria said as she took the box. She leaned forward to Arthur and kissed him on the cheek. This made Arthur's face turned cherry red.

"Thank you." She added and then she left.

-End of Flashback-

Maria then blushed red…

I did kiss him on the cheek! And I thought that was just a dream… She thought and then she giggled.

After a few hours the bell rang. The teacher leave the room.

"Hey Maria." Arthur said as he approached Maria from behind.

Maria looked back and she saw Arthur smiling. She gave a slight blush.

"Wh-What is it Arthur?" She said while hiding her blush.

"Uhmm… How could I put this… Uhmm… I… would love…. To… uhmm…. Draw you…. Would you accept it?" Arthur said while blushing.

"I would love to." Maria said. "I wanna draw you too, but I don't know if you'll accept it." Maria added.

"I love to accept it, anything from you, my dear." Arthur said acting all gentlemanly. "Well, let's meet at the arts room after lunch then." He added.

"Sure." Maria replied. Then Arthur left.

Kiku saw this, and he is a little jealous. But he knows that Maria loves him because they've been friends since they were young. Then a flashback appeared in Kiku's mind.

-Flashback-

Maria and Kiku are still young at this moment.

"Nee, Maria-chan?" Kiku asked.

"What is it Kiku-kun?" Maria asked.

"Do you have any other friends, beside me?" Kiku asked shyly.

"No, not really. But if I find another one. You, Kiku-kun will still be my one and only best friend." Maria said smiling.

"Really? I'm happy." Kiku replied smiling then he kissed Maria's forehead.

-End of Flashback-

Kiku then blushed and he shook his head. Maria noticed that Kiku was spying on them.

"Kiku-kun! I know you're out there. Please come out." Maria shouted. Kiku heard this and he walked towards Maria.

"Ho-How did you know I was there?" Kiku asked.

"I'm your one and only best friend remember? And you don't have to be jealous of Arthur." Maria said giggling.

"I-I'm not jealous! I'm just concerned about you." Japan said blushing.

"Oh really? But I can see it in your eyes." Maria said smiling.

"N-No you can't!" Kiku denied.

"Le-Let's set that aside. Uhmm… So, who are you gonna draw?" Maria asked.

"Uhmm. It's a secret, I'm not gonna tell." Kiku said.

"Kiku-kun, don't be such a meanie." Maria said pouting.

"I am not, it's a surprise!" Kiku said teasing Maria.

"Is it for me?" Maria asked.

"Maybe, maybe not." Kiku said.

"Suit yourself, I'm gonna go the cafeteria now." Maria said then she left Kiku in the room.

Oh Maria... He thought. You know that you're the only girl i know... He added. He gave a sigh... w.But I think someone is in my way now.. He thought.

Maria on the other hand was in the cafeteria, then a young girl approached her.

"U-Uhmm... Maria, may I have a special request?" The girl asked.

Maria looked at the young girl, it was Vash's younger sister.

"Sure Lili. What will it be?" Maria asked smiling.

"Can you teach me how to draw?" Lili asked.

"You can asked Feli, he's good at arts." Maria replied.

"But, big brother said never to go near boys. So that's why I approach you." Lili explained.

"I see, well then, after lunch I'm going to the arts room. Let's practice there, okay?" Maria said.

"Okay then. Thank you so much!" Lili said then she bows down.

"No need to thank me." Maria said. "I would love helping my classmates in need." She added.

I just hope, Arthur is okay with this... She thought.

"See you later then." Lili said smiling as she left Maria.

See you later, Lili... She thought.
