Love is... (ike x firkle)

Lunch and the pain of life

Ike invited firkle over to sit with him everyday but firkle made it very clear that he wanted nothing to do with the messy haired boy and his friends. Ike thought that the smaller goth might be lonely sitting all alone. So today just like everyday the preppy middle schooler walked by firkle with a smile. "Heeey do you wanna come sit with me today?" Firkle thought about what his friend had said, maybe he likes you back. "Why do you want me around so much?" It sounded ruder than it was meant to and the goth wished he could take it back. "Because you look lonely here by yourself, and I want to get to know you." The shorter boy thought about what he'd heard. "Sure. I'll sit with you. Just for today." He didn't know any of Ike's friends but they didn't seem to mind him sitting there. They just said hi and continued with whatever they were saying. Someone scored a touchdown, someone got a girlfriend, someone failed a test. Ike popped a french fry into his mouth before asking "hey, don't you hang out with the high schoolers?" "Yes. They understand." The blue eyed boy seemed taken back by this. "Understand what?" "That life is pain. Isn't that obvious? " ike laughed under his breath. "Goths have such an interesting outlook on everything." Firkle would never admit it, but he was glad ike didn't think he was weird for saying that. He just seemed interested in learning more about firkle.
