Ugh! Some people just frustrate me to no end! There is absolutely, positively no problem with my best friend being gay! Is there?

No. If you answered something different, get the hell out. I don't have time for you and your opinion. Because like I told that jerk, if you have a problem with my friend, then WE have a problem.

I don't even know why I CARE what he thinks about Rei. I mean, even REI doesn't care if people have a problem with him. He tries to get me to leave it alone when people voice their distaste, but I can't. Its just an inbred part of me to defend people I care about, even if they don't want me to.

So maybe I need to find a way to level out a bit. If you haven't noticed, I have a BIT of an anger issue. It's not that major, just, if someone says something offensive or upsetting towards me or my friends, I get the tiniest bit tiffed. Or maybe a lot, but we're just splitting hairs now.

So, after my little outburst at home, I go see Rei. I really hope that he's done with whatever he was working on with my father so I can finally have a chance to talk to him. It seems that lately every time I'm at the guild, he isn't or he's busy. Today, I'm determined to get him out of his whatever it is he's doing so we can catch up before I leave on my newest mission next week.

I find Rei coming out of the main guild building, talking to Magistra, the resident healer. He waves at me to come over and gives me a quick hug before turning back to Magistra.

"See, I told you she bust herself up again!" he said, pointing to the gash on my face.

Magistra sighs and says, "I knew I should have believed you. It seems that every time she comes back she has got some new scar to show me." She grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls it down, revealing some more of my newest battle scars.

"Luca..." Rei sighs, rolling back my left sleeve to show even more scrapes.

"Girl, you didn't even clean them right! There is still dirt in the one on your face!" Magistra scolded, pushing some hair that had come out of my braids out of my face.

I shrank away from their inspecting hands. "Okay, okay! Lets not undress me in the middle of the street now!"

Rei laughed at me and laced his arm through mine. "And I was so looking forward to it to. Shame. I suppose we better get you to my Magistra's place to fix you up properly."

"But why don't we just go into one of the extra rooms in the guild..?"

"You're not allowed in there right now."

"But why-?"

"Uh-uh. No buts. Ready when you are Magistra!"

Magistra set off towards her home on the edge of the Golden Falcon settlement with Rei and I in tow. Magistra was an older lady, in her late 50's, but still as fiery as she was when I first met her. She was tall and had light blonde hair streaked with white.

"So who is this guy you brought home with you?" Rei whispered in my ear as we walked behind Magistra.

"He's an asshole, that's who."

"Aw, you seemed so fond of him too...What'd he do?"

"He has a problem with you..."

Rei sighed and pulled me closer to his side. "Now, what did I tell you about that?"

"Not to bother..."

"So what should you do?"

"Let it be..."

"Good." Rei looked down at me and frowned. "Smile."

I stuck my lower lip out and said "No."

"Come on, Luca. Don't let this guy get to you."

"I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"But...He's just an ass. I can't deal with him."

"Does he like it up the ass?" I stopped and dropped Rei's arm.

"Excuse me?"

Rei looked back at me quite seriously. "I know you heard me." He grabbed my hand and pulled me along so we didn't fall too far behind Magistra. "Is he like the last one? Does he take it up the ass?"

I glared at Rei out of the corner of my eye and mumbled "I don't know." (A few girls will have a boyfriend who ends up being gay, right? Yeah, well here's the thing, I've had at least 3, maybe 4. [haven't seen the 2nd one in a while, but there was always speculation.] I just seem to have terrible luck picking out boys who have a fancy for female body parts. My first boyfriend was Rei, just because people pressured him into asking me out. We were together for a month before he gave up and came out. The 2nd one disappeared randomly, just leaving me a note to say it was over. The 3rd I found cheating on me with some male prostitute when we were on a mission together[one of the rare ones that I actually took someone with me]. And the 4th admitted that he was using me as a cover up and then proceeded to fuck the 3rd. Don't you just love my luck?)

"Well, you should find out for me, he's hot." I pulled my hand out of his grip and walked next to him in silence. "But, I suppose if he doesn't want to, I'll do it. I'm good either way. Doesn't really matter to me." I clenched my teeth and shoved my hands in the tiny pockets on my vest. Rei looked down at me again. "Hey, girl. Calm down. If he said something bad about me being gay, then I'm sure he's not. I'm mean, how old is he? Like 20-something?"

"23."

"Well, you can't REALLY go that long without figuring out if you're bi or homosexual. I'm sure he's straight."

"How sure?"

"Well, this is just a hunch, but he glared quite demonically at me when I gave you a hug when you guys first got here."

"Oh."

"Yeah, I'm no expert on guys liking girls, but I'm pretty sure its the same concept. I think he likes you."

"Oh, really now?"

"Yup. He looks at you differently than the other guys did. Protective, caring, yet almost confused. I think he's probably never felt these emotions before."

I laughed. "Oh, you're so DEEP Rei."

"Hey, baby. That's how I roll." He winked and hooked his arm around mine again. "Don't be mad at him. Chances are, he was raised to look down on people like me. Or, its new to him and he's never really met a real live gay before."

"I love how you can just sling that around like its nothing."

"What? Gay? Well homosexual is too long, and homo is rude. But really, Luca. Listen to me. Don't let this one go. He really does like you. And like I said before he is HOT."

I laughed and shoved him a little bit.

"Really Luca, after we get you fixed, go find him. Apologize -"

"But I-"

"EVEN if you didn't do anything. Make him feel bad."

"What if I don't like him-?"

"Luca, don't give me that bullshit! You do like him. I know it, I've known when you've liked a guy long before you decide to tell me. You wouldn't be giving yourself this much grief if you didn't like him."

Rei glanced at me out of the corner of his eye to see if I was going to protest again.

"Okay, like I said, make him feel bad. You're a strong girl, you take the lead. You've got a face where you can make a real man do whatever the hell you want with just a look. And, by just looking at him, he seems like the big, quiet, protective types. But he will be the man when he needs to be, or when you want him to be. He'll probably fight you on things, but you thrive on conflict and you'll figure out pretty fast he only wants you to be happy."

"Are you some sort of relationship psychologist now? These thoughts seem to deep for your teeny little mind."

"I am a mind reader after all. I can hear his thoughts."

"Stop reading peoples minds, it's invasive and rude."

"Hey, just protecting my first and last ex-girlfriend, ya know. Not going to let EVERY skeezeball that you find congealed in a gutter into your pants."

"Why not? You told me it looked like a dried up fruit down there. I can probably add some people to your side of the table."

"Ugh, no! Then there will be a gutter-congealed skeezeball trying to get into MY pants!"

"Are you two quite finished?" Whoops. That's what we get for forgetting about Magistra. We had stopped in the middle of the road and never started again a few "arguments" back. I suppose Magistra had finally realized it and came back to get us. She grabbed my arm roughly, telling Rei to shoo.

"So what do you think I should do Magistra?"

"What, about that new boy ya brought? Do whatever it is Rei has already said. He's a smart kid."

I sighed and winced slightly as Magistra shoved me down on a table in her kitchen. She pulled out an assortment of medical supplies and began poking and prodding at my injuries. Most people would be wincing, writhing in pain even, because quite honestly, the way Magistra heals wounds is far more painful than getting them in the first place. But Magistra knows what she's doing, and I've had to go to her multiple times before, so it doesn't bother me as much any more.

Magistra finished wrapping the last bandage around my stomach and left the room with my clothes.

Well shit.

I am now sitting on a table in Magistra's kitchen, wearing only my underwear. She even took my shoes. Lucky, or not lucky, for me, Magistra came back holding a purple...something...dress?

"No."

"Oh yes. I told Rei to bring me something like this for you to wear back home." She unfolded it and held it out in front of me. "Put it on."

"No!" I squealed (yes, squealed. You know, that high-pitched sound girls make when something is REALLY detestable or REALLY cute?) I pushed the purple garment away from my face and made to jump off the table.

"Well its either this, or you are going back home in your underwear." I grimaced and took the dress that had been hiding in the back of my closet for the past 2 years. Rei had bought it for me and made me wear it on my 18th birthday.(I'm currently 19, almost 20, so 2 years-ish) I have not once worn it since then. I'm not the biggest fan of dresses.

"Lovely. Shoes." Magistra held out a pair of sandals with the slightest heel. Walking-deathtraps. "You know girl, you should wear more purple, it suits you better than that ugly yellow."

I frowned and hopped around on one foot, trying to slide a shoe on. "Oh, most DEFFINITELY, Magistra."

"Smile, Luca. You have an ugly frown." I frowned again and shoved the other shoe on my foot. "Now, go do whatever it is Rei told you." She slapped my back and shoved me out the door. "You look nice, don't waste it."

Magistra shut the door in my face, leaving me standing outside in the setting sun. I started making my way back home.

"Well this should be so much fun!"
