Starstrukk

Kanda stared at the drink held between his hands, the music pounding throughout the club not loud enough to block out his thoughts. He was over this, totally and completely over this. Lavi had pushed him too far and... If the relationship meant nothing to the baka usagi, then it would mean nothing to him.

Raising his head, he brushed his bangs from his eyes and glanced around the club. There was that same man again, eyeing him up. He was handsome enough, with a devilish smirk, gentlemen-like manners and thick curly brown hair. He was a regular, from what the bartender had told him. His name was Tyki.

It wouldn't be L.O.V.E, that's not what it would be. Just shameless sex, really, and sweet revenge and a way to get past the heartache.

It didn't take long, and soon Tyki was pushing him towards the back rooms, mouth kissing down Kanda's bare shoulder and Kanda groaned, arching his back and pushing his hips against the Portuguese man's. This meant nothing, would never mean anything, but he hoped it hurt Lavi so fucking bad. He smirked, distracted by his thoughts for a second, thinking of what he would say to the redhead when he found out. Don't take it personally. We were never in love. But Tyki quickly pulled him out of his thoughts as he was stripped of his shirt.

Lavi stared across as the Japanese man in front of him, ignoring the fact that they were blocking the pathway. Yuu was staring down at the sidewalk, a small smile curling his lips upwards. Lavi couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuu had done what now?!

"Please tell me you're joking," he begged, taking a step forward.

Yuu shook his head and tilted his head back and to the side. "Mmmm, no darlin'," he said mockingly, already beginning to walk away. "You pushed it too far."

Lavi's head was spinning. He'd been warned countless times by Allen and Lenalee and so many others that he should stop flirting so shamelessly now that he was with Kanda, but he'd figured Yuu wouldn't mind, that he'd understand that that was just how Lavi was. But he was wrong, and he had pushed it too far, and now he was losing the most important thing to him.

"L.O.V.E isn't what this is, what it ever was, what it will ever be," said Yuu, looking at Lavi over his shoulder. He smirked, buried his hands in his pockets, lowered his head, and walked off. "Good bye, my friend."

That hit hard as Lavi caught the meaning of the word. Friends with benefits... he'd convinced Yuu that that was all they were... that they were never in love.

Don't take it personally 'cause we were never in love,
It doesn't really matter who you say you are,
Sing it out the window of your car.
Find another girl across the bar 'cause L.O.V.E's not what this was.

How, do I say I'm sorry cause the word is never gonna come out,
Now, L.O.V.E's just another word I never learned to pronounce.
