“Are you ready?”
“I am. Are you ready?”
“Ready as I’m going to be, I think,” and sighed.
The other turned to look at him. “It’s your plan!”
“I know, and it’s a good plan. It’s just, you know, . . .”
“I know. But we agreed, the results should be worth it.”
“Right. Let’s go.”
*
“You kissed me!”
“Yes, I did.”
“You kissed me!”
“We’ve established that already . . .” with a raised blond eyebrow.
“Yes, but ... you kissed me! Why did you kiss me? Eh, I sound like a baka, but . . .”
“Why wouldn’t someone want to kiss you? You’re intelligent, attractive . . .”
“Hn. But apparently not to the one I’d like to kiss me, and I don’t think I’m the one you really want to kiss . . .”
The blond laughed. “Have you ever played billiards? Wait and see . . .”
*
“What was that all about?”
“That was a kiss,” in a deadpan voice.
“Don’t get cute with me! I didn’t ask what it was, I asked what it was about! I know perfectly well that I’m not the one you want to kiss, and I know that you know that you’re not the one I want kissing me! Not that you’re not a good kisser, and not that he’s interested in kissing me, but still!” Braid twitching in agitation, the young man started to pace.
Green eyes looked back at him. “When you can’t be with the one you want . . .”
“Oh, don’t give me that. You can, I can’t.”
“Maybe I can, and maybe I can’t. And maybe anyone can try to . . . explore other options.”
The other paused in his pacing. “Huh. That is a point. Other options. And even if other options don’t work out, just trying should stir things up.” He looked at his old friend with growing speculation.
His friend just smiled.

“That is not an acceptable practical joke, you idiot!”
“No joke, man; didn’t you enjoy it?”
“That’s not the point, and you know it! I think that braid of yours is pulled too tight! I’m straight!”
“Ah, don’t get all huffy, it was just a little kiss . . . and it isn’t as though you’ve been kissing anybody else . . .”
“ . . . haven’t been . . . That’s because the lady I would like to kiss happens to be totally smitten with someone else. Even though he’s not interested in her at all . . .”
“You mean . . . the princess? The Pink Peril?”
“I mean the lovely, intelligent, well-read young lady who cares about people and . . .”
“All right, all right, I get it, hair of gold, eyes of blue, rosy lips, and so on. And she even happens to have the right configuration of parts to be able to help you rebuild your clan . . .”
Figurative storm clouds started to gather, and then dispersed as quickly. “ . . . I can’t deny that rebuilding the clan is a duty of mine. But I like her enough that I’d pursue her anyway . . . if I thought she’d be interested. And it would help, or at least it wouldn’t hurt, if someone I know would man up and go after the guy he really wants instead of laying one on his straight friend!”
“Ah, man, what did I ever do to hurt you? If I kiss him, he’ll kill me!”
“I doubt it very much. If he wanted to kill you, he’d have carried through with one of all those times he threatened to kill you during the war.”
“ . . . You really think so?”
“Yes, you idiot, I really think so.”
*
“Hey, man, how are you doing?”
“it’s been kind of strange, actually; there I was, minding my own business, and our blond friend decided it would be a good idea to kiss me.”
“Well, it’s not exactly a surprise that she’s been wanting to kiss you, is it? Only that she’d take the lead, don’t you think?”
“No, I don’t mean our female blonde friend, I mean our male blond friend. You know, the one who’s been off the market for ages?”
“He did what? . . . That is strange. Particularly since the one who’s had him off the market, our other friend, decided that it would be a good idea to lay one on me, and then encouraged me to . . . explore other possibilities.”
“ . . . Other possibilities?”
“Yeah, since I didn’t think the person I was interested in would ever be interested in me. And I did try somebody else, which went over like a lead balloon . . . what’s wrong? You look upset.”
“Hn. It seems we’re in the same boat. The person I’m interested in either doesn’t have a clue, or doesn’t have any interest that way in me.”
“Doesn’t have any interest in you? I find that hard to believe. You’re got all of the good qualities anybody would like to take home to meet their parents, and you’re a hero, and you’re h . . . , uh, you’ve even got the Pink Princess chasing you.”
“Don’t remind me. I wish she’d find some other guy to chase, she’s not my type at all.”
“Well, if you’d man up and go after the one you really want, the Dragon told me he’d be happy to, mmh, console her . . .”
“Oh, you’re a fine one to talk about manning up, since you just admitted you’re holding back yourself. And how did that come up with the Dragon, anyway?”
“Hey! I don’t have a death wish, thank you very much! And he told me after, well, after I kissed him, actually. He said he was straight, like you, and he told me that I should man up, and . . . but there’s no way that a guy like that would be interested in a street rat like me. He’d kill me if I even . . . But there’s no reason you can’t be happy, man. Go for it.”
“Baka. There are so many things wrong with that I don’t even know where to begin. You’re not a street rat, even if you did start out as one. There isn’t anybody who wouldn’t be flattered by having somebody like you interested in them; I know I would be. And wherever did you get the idea that I was straight, anyway?”
“Wait. What? You would? You’re not? But . . . okay, that does it. I’m going to take you at your word, here. Hold still.”
“Mmph? . . . mmm.”
*
*ring*
“Hello? . . . Yes, I did tell you he wouldn’t kill you. I’m not surprised. What? I think everybody knew you wanted each other except the two of you. Yes, I do appreciate you clearing the way for me. I’m going to give her a little while to get used to the idea that he’s taken before I . . . yes, I am. Yes, soon. But not too soon, I’m not interested in being just a rebound, thank you. Go kiss your boy and let me worry about me, all right? Goodbye.”
*click*
“Ha. I told him so.”
*
“So, that’s done.”
“I love it when a plan comes together!”
“I love you. And I love being able to kiss my guy, and not having to think about him kissing other guys!”
“That was the one bad thing about the plan. When I kiss a boy, I want it to be you, not just to stir stuff up . . .”
“He was a good kisser though.”
“Oh, you!” *whap* “. . . Although, I have to admit . . . mine was too.”
