Baby

"Yuuuuuuu-chaaaaaan!" Called Lavi, running out the door and into the fresh layer of snow. He held his hands high in the air as his smile lit up his face. "Yuuuuuuuu-chaaaaaan! Yuu-chan, Yuu-chan! Yuuuuuuuuuu-chaaaaaaaan!"

"WHAT?" hollered Yuu from where he was standing in the centre of the clearing. Tsk, tsk, Yuu, thought Lavi as he continued to barrel towards the other thirteen year old. Still training? You'll get sick, baby, baby.

"I have something to teeeeeeeell Yuuuuuuuu!" was the loud reply. Lavi came to a halt in front of the other and his grin wider. "I have something to tell Yuu!" he repeated.

Yuu scowled at the use of his first name and a swift swish of Mugen was enough for the Baka Usagi to realise that if he did it again... Tsk, tsk, Yuu, Lavi thought again. Still so threatening? But I love it when you look right in my eyes.

"Guess what?" he demanded, stepping even closer to the Japanese teen. Lavi noticed how much he was wearing, and how little Yuu was wearing. Was he not cold? Tsk, tsk, Yuu, he thought once more. Still so stubborn? "I said guess!"

Yuu sighed with irritation and briefly closed his eyes. "What?" he asked begrudgingly.

"Nuh-uh," said Lavi, shaking his head. "I said guess!" Tsk, tsk, Yuu, were his thoughts again. Still not listening to me? You had better, what I'm about to say is important.

"I'm not fucking guessing, Baka Usagi!" Yuu snapped, leaning in closer to Lavi.

Lavi pouted. "Geez, alright, alright. Well then, I love you." He beamed, waiting for Yuu's over joyous reaction.

"Baka," the voice was gentle, and Lavi's hopes rose. "We're just friends."

Eh? "No, no, I love Yuu, I love Yuu!"

Yuu's gaze lowered almost sadly. He liked Lavi, he really did... possibly loved him back but... "There's another..." he had to find that face from his memories – those disjointed, painful memories.

"...Oh," was the quiet reply. "But I love Yuu."

Yuu squeezed his eyes shut. This should be painful for Lavi, not him! "Shut up!" he shook his head wildly and moved back to start training again. "Just... just, shove it, Lavi. Please?" His voice was weak and pathetic but it hurt more than it should.

Cocking his head to the side, Lavi stared for a while. Well, ok... suddenly his face lit up. He'd keep trying, he'd win Yuu's affection. Tsk, tsk, Yuu, he thought for the final time, moving up behind the other to embrace him tightly. Yuu, my first love, broke my heart for the first time, yet I still want Yuu. Because I love Yuu, baby, baby.

We're just friends, what are you saying?
Said there's another, look right in my eyes.
My first love broke my heart for the first time,
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby, oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
