Title: A Little Tease

Characters/ Pairings: Rima, Nagihiko, Rhythm, Kusukusu, and all the other people, Rhythm/Kusukusu, RimaHiko

Summary: Sometimes, a little tease, can go a long way. ("Why not just say it, Rhythm? You say it all the time at home. It's not like she's here, anyway.")

Rima flopped down her seat with a soft sigh. Math was horrible.

"Rima-cha~an!" Said girl barely dodged the flying, pigtailed girl with a quick lean to the right. She turned to the teary Yaya with a sweet smile. "Hello, Yaya-chan." Her friend only pouted in response.

"Konnichiwa, Rima-chan." Amu, who she only realized to be right beside her—she scolded at herself for not noticing her best friend—greeted her. "Hello, Amu-chan."

Yaya proceeded to hug the queen, as if Rima hadn't just displayed that she did not want to be accidentally choked to death. Amu giggled—strangely, Rima thought—and Rima tried to pry—rip, if you please—the child's arms off her already damaged chest before she was going to be suffocated to death. "Yaya-chaaaannn, get offfff meeeeee!" Her voice sounded oddly high and out of breath.

Rima suddenly heard a foreign laugh and her head whipped to her rival's face with a glare already planted on her face. "Yo, Rima-chan." She was glad to know that it was the guardian character who greeted her and not the guardian. Even if he was a playboy.

"Konnichiwa, Rima-chan!" Darn, spoke too soon.

Out of the corner of her eyes, Rima noticed the Rhythm blinked. "Where's Kusukusu?"

Pepe flew to him and poked his cheek. "Aww, Rhythm-chan misses Kusu-chii!"

"Wha-what? I—" Alas, he was not able to finish his sentence because a certain pink-haired cheerleader cut him.

"Rhythm-kun likes Kusukusu-chan! Rhythm-kun likes Kusukusu-chan!" Rima vaguely wondered how Ran could manage to say everything in chant mode.

"I don't—"

"You shouldn't deny your feelings, Rhythm-kun." Suu said so kindly.

Rhythm was about to say something but, suddenly, he remembered Kusukusu smiling and laughing and his voice is gone and replaced with a big, bright blush.

Nagihiko sees this first, and, deciding he wants to tease Rhythm to the edge—the guy's never flustered—he says, "Why not just say it, Rhythm? You say it all the time at home. It's not like she's here, anyway."

"Sh-shut up!" Rhythm runs—or flies—to his bag and hides himself.

Nagihiko chuckles, but then Rhythm opts to get him to be nervous and screams, "It's not like you don't feel the same with her guardian!!" And Nagihiko shuts up at that and everyone else either stare at him or the bag, or laugh harder.

Rima jumps when her cellphone vibrates and she looks at it before going to the door and outside. But before she grabs onto the doorknob, she looks at Nagihiko with a blank stare and says, "Ya know, I like you, too." Then she turns to the others and says with a far brighter voice, "I'll be back in a minute." And she goes outside.

Rima's not too far off not too hear Yaya teasing the Jack about his overripe strawberry of a face and she giggles.

Initially, this was a little different, and the thing that prompted me into this was imagining Rima pop up from a fence and look and smile at Nagihiko and say I love you, too in a really cheery voice. And then she would be gone and she would hear people going about and teasing that Nagihiko's face is really, really bright. Turned out different ay?

And about the Kusukusu-Rhythm thing, I didn't know how to start things and end them with that I like you, too thingie, then I remembered this really short scene in my head where Rhythm's blushing and tugging at his cap when Kusukusu laughs and everything followed after that.

This was also supposed to be just one chapter, with all the ideas in here, but then they turned out longer than I thought (though still very, very short) and, since the ideas are all pretty independent, might as well make it into different chapters. And, because I'm lazy like that, I'll all upload it in one day. Because, really, even if I like keeping people hanging, and I finish the whole thing first before uploading a single chapter and then decide to make it more fun and make everyone wait, I'm still too lazy, too. Be happy. You won't have to endure the pain of waiting.

Sorry for the OOCness. Coz I know there is there.
