Title: Plain

Characters/Pairings: Amu, Rima, Nagihiko, RimaHiko

Summary: Where Amu wonders about one too many things and is random. And where the couple doesn't really need a confession but they still have to, anyway.

"Oh, come now, Rima-chan," Nagihiko says with just a hint of playfulness.

"You have no right to call me Rima-chan, Nagihiko!!"

"But you just called me Nagihiko," he blinks and acts innocent and clueless, "Why can't I call you Rima-chan?"

"Because, purple freak!!" she fumes and glares and pouts all at the same time. Amu sometimes wonders how she could do that.

Amu sighs and frowns. It was entertaining to watch Rima and Nagihiko fight. Mostly because of all the comebacks and reactions Rima has—she has to admit, it's amusing, really. Mostly because Nagihiko always manages to rile Rima up with one tiny teasing look. And mostly because they're just cute like that.

"Oh shut up, idiot!!"

But definitely not because of the increasing volume they always manage to reach. Well, for Rima, anyway. It didn't help that the Jack always managed to make her scream louder after every comeback.

Amu wished more than ever for Tadase to come in and stop the pair from killing each other—not that it's possible, since this is Rima. And it's Nagihiko. The worst Rima could do is accidentally throw a pen at someone's eye, and the only thing Nagihiko would do is tease Rima until the girl blows up. Amu scrunches up her face and wonders how she manages to move from one thing to a whole other thing. She shakes her head.

Right, where was she? Oh, right. Sometimes she just wishes they would save all the trouble—and screaming, and insults, and all the other stuff—and just go and say what they feel. Now that she thinks about it…

"Rima-chan, Nagi-kun," and she wonders—again—how her voice could be heard with how loud Rima had just shouted, "Why won't you just say you love each other?"

Rima raises a brow, either at the question or at the exasperation used, and Nagihiko smiles and shrugs.

He also turns back to Rima and says, "I love you, Rima-chan."

She sends him a quick smile, "Love you, too, girly." Then she looks at Amu, "Happy?"

The Joker is unable to say anything and looks at them incredulously. Her forefinger then proceeds to point at them shakily and her mouth continues to open and close for about a minute or so. "Bu-but….How'd yo-I mean-What-Huh?" She blinks and stares and wonders a million of things and she really doesn't comprehend much.

The blonde shakes her head and looks up, "Amu-chan, we sort of knew. Nagihiko's really sharp like that, and, I guess, I just….really knew." She rubs the back of her neck and smiles at her best friend. "It's never been much of a deal for us."

This does not register in Amu's mind either and she continues to stutter and sputter and ramble. Yaya, who had been quiet for the whole exchange because of the preoccupation of the food in her mouth, walks up to Amu and places her hand on Amu's back. She mumbles and tries to calm her down and leads her to a nearby chair to feed her some chocolate as a further attempt placate the poor, jittery pinkhead.

Rima blinks and turns to Nagihiko and he shrugs back in response. They sit down and grabbed a few pastries, the previous argument out of everyone's minds.

When I wondered how to end this fic, I immediately thought of the two of them confessing, so there's no favoritism :D A second later, I thought, why not make them indifferent, to make things fun…er….

Sorry for OOCness people. Oh, and hope ya liked this fic!
