okokokokokook so, I finally know what hell I'm going to do for Al's side of the story which did mean a name change. sorry for the sudden unpublish and all that crap 

this is the story and it starts after Al is kicked out of the team

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I heard there's a dance coming up soon." Lovi passively said.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah." I was given an annoyed look. "Here I thought you would already know since you usually always know as soon as it's announced."

"I can miss it sometimes, you know." I rolled my eyes. "I always have something distracting me after all."

"Right, I forgot you always have your head up your ass." He scanned the shelves next to me, looking for the right place to put the books he had in hand.

"Don't see how you're any better."

"Shut up, asshole."

"Right back at you, buddy." I smiled.

"You're insufferable."

"Then why talk to me?" He didn't answer. "That's what I thought you little bitch."

"Keep up with that attitude and you might end up with nothing."

"I'm well aware of that, Lovi." I pushed my glasses back into place. "That might just be my goal."

"Why would you do that?"

"For the hell of it." I leaned back into the comfortable library chair. "Nothing matters anyway."

"And here I thought you were smarter than that."

"I always love to disappoint."

"It's what you're best at if I'm honest."

"Thanks man."

"So, tell me again, why you talk to me?"

"All my football friend basically disowned me and I don't know many other people so I thought you were the perfect candidate."

"That team sounds like hell."

"Oh, it is!" I chuckled. "That's why I stopped going to practice."

"You're like Shakespeare's writing, you know that?" He placed two of the books in a higher shelf. "Hard to read at first glance but you're pretty simple to get after a couple read throughs."

"Aw, thanks, that makes me feel special."

"Whatever." He placed another one on a lower shelf. "Anyway, I brought up the dance because I already know you'll go to keep up the reputation, so what slut are you going to take this time?"

"I never take anyone to dances, actually." I frowned. "Plus, my reputation has been pretty much been torn to shreds at this point so it wouldn't matter anyway."

"And I thought your brother was a loser."

"Matt isn't a loser." I scowled. "Geez, what is with you?"

"I'm not going to help you the way you want me to Alfred."

"I'm not asking for your help."

"You're right." He looked at me. "But I know you want it. I can't get you friend, Alfred. You have to find those yourself no matter how hard that is."

"I do have a friend."

"Living in Canada, I bet." He smirked.

"No, he's just taking an English test right now so I can't bother him."

"How considerate of you."

"Jesus, how are you and Matt friends?"

"We're friends because of a lot of deeper shit that you couldn't possibly understand."

"Whatever." I stood up. "I need to get to class." I grabbed my bag. "Bye, you asshole."

"Bye, dumbass."

"Have I told you that I'm grateful to have met you, Kiku?"

"Yes, about a billion times."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's alright, I always love to hear it."

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"Exist."

"You're as much of a sap as I am."

"Can't help it," He looked over his laptop at me with near black eyes. A bit of a smile playing on his lips. "It's cute." I felt my heart stop for a whole second.

"You might just give me a heart attack one of these days." I smiled wide.

"Sounds like a challenge." He looked back down at his laptop.

"What are you playing?"

"Another boyfriend simulator."

"Why? You don't really need to play those."

"It's fun, though. I like to see how ridiculous it can get."

"What's the most ridiculous thing to happen so far?"

"One of them being naked in a shopping mall."

"Oh my god!" I laughed maybe a bit too loud.

"You see why I do it?"

"I want to play them now."

"Here." He turned the laptop towards me. The image of a weird looking anime guy coming into view. "You can help me choose which response." I nodded and looked at the screen. The guy was asking about favorite fruit. I grinned at the fourth option of zucchini.

"That one." I pointed at it. Kiku nodded and clicked on the option. The dialogue became really philosophical real quick with the character questioning if seeds indicate fruit or not. "This is magical."

"That's what you said when I showed you what anime was."

"Because both are magical." He shook his head in amusement. I could tell he really wanted to laugh. We continued on with the game for a while. "So, you want to hang out later?"

"Sure."

"Cool."
