Authors Notes: Hey everyone! I am back with a Bang! :D I am here with a new story but fret not, this one is a two-shot and I am done with it. While I was writing World's Apart, the concept of this story suddenly popped inside my head and the idea kept me awake for a few nights. So, here it is.

'…in order for world peace to be possible, I think mutual respect and...'

The continuous typing of slender digits was put to a halt as the steady blinking of the tab at the bottom of the computer screen caught her attention. Her concentration towards the task at hand immediately crumbled due to the unwanted distraction.

Hinamori Momo was currently typing the essay due tomorrow for their philosophy class. Their teacher- Mr. Alberto Kraft- a German-Japanese professor made the supposedly boring subject (at least to the teenagers like them) a very interesting one. Their professor studied philosophy in Germany for years and when he came back to Japan he pursued a career as an educator to 'teach the young people the beauty of life'. Amidst his peculiarity, one cannot deny his expertise in his chosen field.

For today, he wanted an 800 word essay about 'how the world could achieve world peace' and she was intensively giving in to the ideas inside her head when all of a sudden the blinking tab caught her attention.

She begrudgingly clicked the blinking tab and wished that whatever the concern was, it was something that would be worth her while.

Hitsugaya T. : 'Hey'

The three letter word was from her childhood friend Hitsugaya Toushiro and she cannot help but smile at his random greeting.

Hinamori Momo: 'Hey too' she smiled as she pressed enter.

Three huge dots appeared near his picture; an indication that he was typing back something. She waited patiently and cannot help but wonder at his sudden intent to initiate conversation, via social media no less! He is not someone to waste valuable time, so whatever it was that he wanted to talk about it was definitely something important.

Hitsugaya T. : 'I need to ask you something'

Hitsugaya T. : 'but promise me'

Hitsugaya T. : 'you won't tell a soul'

His consecutive messages made her curious and she cannot help but to immediately think about the instances when he confided about matters in life that made him uneasy. One would think that such thing was impossible since he was this heartthrob genius that everyone adores. He is cool and dashing, good at everything he does, could be at the top of any subject without exerting much effort and on top of that he came from a very rich and famous family.

Hinamori Momo: 'What is it?' she typed in anticipation.

Within a second he replied,

Hitsugaya T. :'Promise me first'

Hinamori Momo: 'What is it already? You are freaking me out'

Wait.

Hinamori Momo: 'Don't tell me you flunked your practical exam in music'

Hinamori Momo: 'just because you wanted to!'

She shook her head in disapproval. He would always try to get into her nerves and tell her that he would fail his piano class on purpose just to know what the reaction of his grandparents would be.

'Imagine that Hinamori, they would definitely flip!' and then he would laugh so hard he would start to snort.

Hitsugaya T. :'Relax woman! I passed, I got an A'

Hitsugaya T. : 'now will you calm down?!'

She sighed in relief. He sounds so serious she cannot help but feel thrilled at what he was about to tell her.

Hinamori Momo: 'sorry. I am all ears now'

Hinamori Momo: 'what is it? -_-'

His profile picture (which was the two of them during their junior high graduation) popped again at the thread while her eyes anxiously waited for the words he typed.

Hitsugaya T. :' 'the thing is…'

Hitsugaya T. :' 'I am attracted'

Hitsugaya T. :' 'to someone unattractive…'

Her mouth formed an 'o' in surprise and excitement. Her long time friend is attracted to someone! Or better yet in love with someone! She was so happy for him she immediately typed her emotions into words.

Hinamori Momo: 'Oh my goodness Shiro-chan'

Hinamori Momo: 'I am so happy and excited for you!'

Who could it be? Maybe it was someone from their class. She caught him once, looking at the quiet and demure transferee student whose hair was always in a single braid. She cannot blame him though, her eyes are really beautiful and she is really good in class. Brains and beauty; who wouldn't want that?

Or maybe it was the famous blonde from the prestigious academy for women situated in front of their school. Her hair was so beautiful it would put a shampoo model's mane into shame. It is her overflowing sex appeal and charisma that made her so hot on every guy's eyes.

But wait.

Hitsugaya T. : 'are u there?'

He said someone unattractive. The two ladies she immediately thought of were definitely not classified into such group. She scrolled and tried to look for the part of the thread wherein he revealed his dilemma.

Hinamori Momo : 'Wait'

Hinamori Momo: 'why is it a problem?'

His reply was immediate, his must have known each key by heart.

Hitsugaya T. : 'I do not want drama'

She knitted her brows in utter confusion.

Hinamori Momo: 'Drama?'

Hinamori Momo: 'I am lost'

Then it clicked. The realization that almost every girl were always vying even for just a few seconds of his undivided attention, how almost every girl 2 kilometre radius would scream in excitement every single time he would start playing football and how he would always get pretty girls confessing their admiration for him were clear signs that he is not really an ordinary guy in high school.

Hitsugaya T. : 'It would be a big deal'

She nodded, indeed it will be

Hinamori Momo: 'Oh, I see'

Hinamori Momo: 'But'

Hinamori Momo: 'I need to know'

Hinamori Momo: 'What do u mean by attracted?'

He must really like the girl for him to consider it as a major problem and for him to look at the much bigger picture so that he would act while keeping in mind what might happen to her. Toushiro is a bright guy that usually does what he wants without keeping in mind what others might say; the way he was holding back was actually… very sweet of him.

Hitsugaya T. : 'I like her'

Like an avid reader reading his favorite thriller novel, she again nodded.

Hinamori Momo: 'What does she look like?' oh this is definitely exciting!

Hitsugaya T. : 'Plain'

Hitsugaya T. : 'Long, black hair. Plain face, some freckles…

Hitsugaya T. : '...nothing extraordinary…plain'

Hinamori Momo: 'Oh..'

Hitsugaya T. : 'Don't give me that 'oh''

Hitsugaya T. : 'what should I do?'

She glared at the monitor for a while, tsk, always so impatient.

Hinamori Momo: 'Well, I think you should tell her at least'

Hitsugaya T.: 'Explain' was his one word answer.

Hinamori Momo: 'You said you like her, and actually that is enough reason'

Hinamori Momo: 'but…'

Hinamori Momo: 'you said she is a very plain girl'

Hinamori Momo: 'maybe even invisible to most of the students'

Hinamori Momo: 'so knowing that someone as famous as you, likes someone as plain as her…'

Hinamori Momo: 'will definitely make her day :)'

She should definitely charge people whenever they ask for her first rate advice. She again beamed for what she thinks was a job well done. Everything she typed just makes perfect sense. Tomorrow, when she would see him at school, he would definitely tell her that her guidance made wonders on his non-existent love life. She was just so thrilled for him.

Hitsugaya T. : 'You think that would work?'

Hinamori Momo: 'Of course! I mean you are handsome and all, why wouldn't she listen to what you will say?'

Hitsugaya T. : 'because'

Hitsugaya T. : 'I don't think she is into looks and popularity'

She cannot help but pity her friend. He was always this confident, 'I don't give a damn' guy and then a plain looking girl entered the picture and he suddenly doubts himself. No, he doesn't just like her, he might actually be in love for him to analyze things this much.

Opening the nearby drawer, she took her headset and connected it to the computer. She then pressed the telephone icon intended for making online calls. This is not something that should be discussed purely through short messages, her dear friend is lost in the woods and she was more than willing to guide him in his journey.

The catchy ringtone played and after a few seconds she heard his voice.

"So?" he asked, sounding impatient.

"Are you nervous?" Momo asked in amusement. She knew him very well and she was certain of what he would say.

"No"

She sighed, "Are you nervous?"

"Yeah" was his one word, monotonous reply.

"Everything will be fine Toushiro. Just talk to her." Momo said to encourage her dear friend who was on the verge of backing out (though he would never admit it out loud).

Momo heard him sigh in the other line. "Ok, I will settle everything. I have been keeping things bottled up for years now."

She gasped in surprise, "What? So you like her for a very long time now?"

"Yes"

"Oh, she must be very special" she smiled. Love is just very magical.

"Yes, very special" he answered without hesitation. A few seconds of silence followed afterwards and it was Toushiro who broke the silence.

"Gotto go, I am starting to feel sappy here"

Momo cannot help but laugh real hard, "Sure, good luck Shiro-chan. Congratulations by the way, you are now a grown man"

"Shut up!"

She giggled and disconnected the headset when all that she could hear was a deadline.

This is definitely exciting.
