"I swear that mailbox came out of no where--!"

"You idiot! You wouldn't have made such a mess of things if you'd watch where you were going--!"

"I was watching! ... well, I was watching something anyway--"

"And next time when you watch this 'something' face forward--!"

"Now that's no fun, where's the challenge in that?"

"Challenge? Are you really that much of a kid?"

"I'm 17 going on 5 and proud of it!"

Aoko put a hand to her head, closing her eyes as she tried to keep the headache threatening to blossum into being get the best of her. She could always take a mop to him later. After they cleaned up this mess that her idiot childhood friend made because he had as much sense as the tricks he pulled in and out of the class room setting. "That's not something to be proud of..." she could only mutter to herself, allowing him to finish up the rest of the cleaning.

The sound of his movements, however, stopped at her words. "You would rather me be like other people, then?"

She opened her eyes, blinking at his back, unable to see the expression on his face. But that question... "That's not what I meant--" she began to argue.

He broke in with a fair amount of cheer, "Well, then! I'll continue to be your lovable idiot with a perchance for magic." He paused then, before holding up something without looking back to her. "By the way, could you hold this, I need both hands."

Aoko stared at the little origami flower he presented to her before flushing and taking it from his hand carefully, not wanting to damage it. "Idiot," she stated simply.

He hummed back without commenting, going back to his task.

A moment later, Aoko pursed her lips before asking the question that had come to mind the moment he'd made the comment, "What exactly were you looking at?"

Kaito stilled for a moment before turning to her, putting a finger to his lips and smirking a bit. "It's a secret!" he said in a mysterious manner.

It was no surprise then that the girl continued home without him after giving him a quick smack upside the head. Honestly. The boy should just come out and say something already.

It wasn't like she hadn't figured out what--or rather, who--had been the only person behind Kaito the moment that he'd fallen over himself and the mailbox.

-fin-

BLAAAARGH.
