That day, in English, the teacher gave out a new project. She paired up students for a small scene in a Shakespeare play. She gave out random scenes to the pairs and didn't care which genders they had. So, Lavi and Tyki ended up getting paired for the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet. Tyki was Romeo and Lavi was Juliet. In the end, girls were fanning themselves because their chemistry together was amazing.

In Algebra II Allen worked with Kanda, making Lavi be alone and not have a partner. Tyki, being the odd man out too ended up being his partner. They joked about being partners twice in one day and managed to get done before anyone else. Tyki flirted freely with him, making Lavi's cheeks red.

At lunch, they each tried to guess each other's dreams. Neither even made it close. It was only excuses to talk though, since they couldn't think of anything else that was interesting. A pair of girls walked up halfway through lunch and asked if they could sit with them. Lavi instantly had a flash of jealousy and hate towards the girls, and was surprised by Tyki's answer. He refused and asked them to leave, quite far from his usual lady-killer attitude.

In Science, Tyki made a compound explode by mixing the wrong chemicals. He had been working when a girl came up and touched Lavi's elbow, smiling cutely. The girl asked a lot of dimwitted questions and fawned over the red-head who was acting like he really didn't care. Tyki got so distracted by his own jealousy that he picked up the red test tube instead of the orange and poured it into the purple beaker. Making it bubble and explode, which coincidentally made the girl run away for fear of ruining her outfit (which was a tight little pink tube top and a pleated white miniskirt).

Gym brought them onto opposing basketball teams. Tyki was better, and scored on him frequently, which made Lavi quite upset. During one of the plays, a player on Tyki's team pushed the green-eyed boy down. He winced as he hit the floor, twisting his ankle. The teacher ordered Tyki to help him down to the nurse, so Lavi slung his arm around Tyki's neck and the two walked down. Lavi's cheeks were pink since they were so embarrassingly close.

After clubs and part time jobs, they each made it to their respective homes. They did the usual routine of homework, dinner, television, internet, well, not specifically in that order. Each of them crawled into their beds around midnight and set their phones on the bed side tables. Soon, sleep overtook them.

They woke up the next morning to their alarm clocks blaring in their ears. Hitting it hard, just like every morning, they sat up and immediately checked their phones. They each had messages from the other. So, doing the rational thing, they scrolled back to the first message that had been sent.

T/_Where r u?_

L/_Y r u with them?_

T/_my damn brothers! whered they take u?_

L/_stay away from those girls_

T/_please come back_

L/_I hate it when u look at neone else!_

T/_stay with me ill miss u if ur gone_

L/_I love you! dont talk to them! dont ignore me!_

T/_dont go away! i love u too much to lose you_

L/_wat did i do wrong Tyki? i love you! dont look at girls! why do you make me cry?_

T/_ill be /3 if u leave Lavi! youre my LOVELY! _

Their hands shook as they read them. Neither could believe that they had just admitted their love in their sleep. They also couldn't believe that the other had done the same. So, Tyki dressed as quick as possible, brushing his teeth and shoving a piece of toast into his mouth before he ran out the door. He ran hard all the way to Lavi's house. What he had to say simply couldn't be conveyed over phone.

He slowed as he reached the rabbit's driveway and walked up the steps to his door. Tyki knocked. He began plotting out what he was going to say to the other boy, making a perfect confession. As soon as the door opened, his plans went out the door. Lavi was dressed normally, his hair was normal, and everything else about him was every day. But the simple fact that he was there blew Tyki's mind, sending his speech out the metaphorical window.

Lavi on the other hand stared at Tyki, who had seemed to drop from the sky to his doorstep. He wanted to slam the door and run upstairs to hide under his covers and cry. He couldn't do that though because it wouldn't solve anything. Tyki looked gorgeous as always, but a bit exerted. Lavi was speechless.

Without knowing why or really how, Tyki had pushed the other boy back into the house, shutting the door behind them. He had his fingers entwined in Lavi's red hair, bringing the other in for a deep kiss that defied logic. They weren't supposed to be making out in the foyer of Lavi's house at six-thirty in the morning, yet they were. They weren't supposed to be kissing at all, because neither was supposed to know about each other's feelings, yet they did.

Once the kiss was broken, Tyki pulled the stricken boy close. "I've been needing that."

A bubbling laugh came from Lavi. "Oh really?"

He nodded, "Of course."

"SO, I'm going to guess your texts were telling the truth?" Lavi asked.

Tyki nodded, "Yes, Lovely, I do love you."

"Good. Because I love you." Lavi said, "and I'm glad that I began sleep texting."

"So am I."
