This oneshot is of Alix and Kim! Hope you enjoy!

Kim had a knack for making people unnaturally angry and annoyed. Even when he didn't actually mean to be an ass, he somehow could always get on someone's nerves. It didn't matter if the person was the nicest and calmest person alive, if Kim talked to them enough, eventually they would get pissed off. Usually it didn't really bother Kim, but sometimes it really was a curse. Kim could remember a few times when he would try and be nice to someone sweet like Rose or Mylene, and they would still end up mad at him. He still to this day couldn't figure out what he ever did to make them mad. But for the most part, it didn't bother him because that was just his personality. Of course, sometimes, this curse Kim possessed did have its advantages.

It was one of those days again; Kim was hyper having just finished a run and was naturally being his loud and annoying self. He was in the local park talking with Max and Alix about their latest physics assignment. Kim and Max had agreed to meet up to work on their homework together after Kim's run and Max finished up his chores, but Kim was slightly surprised to see Alix there.

Max explained that he had run into her on his way to the park and had invited her to do their homework with the two friends. Kim of course didn't mind, he genuinely enjoyed Alix's company for the most part. Sure the two of them argued often, but Kim liked to still consider her a friend. Not a close friend like Max, but still a school friend. Of course, ever since the last race the two of them had, Kim had been itching for a rematch. The skater girl though never seemed to want to indulge him in another race. Kim thought that it was probably because of the whole Time Breaker incident. Which he could understand.

After sitting together and finishing their homework, the trio decided to take a walk around the park. Kim couldn't even remember what they had been talking about when Alix mentioned the new exhibit being held at the Louvre.

"Oh! I went to that. There was some weird dude absolutely obsessed with this ancient book there. The guy was absolutely crazy. He kept talking about how he was going to translate the entire book to 'reveal the secrets of the past'. Man, how crazy could you get?" Kim laughed after he finished talking and failed to notice the angry look Alix was giving him.

"Well, maybe he really can translate that book. Who says it's impossible? Maybe he's super smart and passionate about it and can really do it." Alix said with a huff, crossing her arms angrily over her chest.

"Yeah, ok, sure. And I can be the King of England. No one could translate that old of a language. The dude is crazy and really needs to get a life. Probably should get a real job too. That way he won't be a loser the rest of his life." As Kim and Max kept walking, Alix stopped in her tracks and her hands balled up into fists at her sides. It was Max who stopped first and turned to look at Alix confused.

"Are you ok, Alix?" Max asked quietly as Kim finally stopped to wait for the other two.

"Yeah, you ok, Munchkin?" Kim called back. Alix's head shot up with a glare on her face. She marched over to Kim who looked at her quizzically. He was definitely caught off guard when her fist made contact with the side of his face and he stumbled to the ground.

"That's for making fun of my brother, you ass!" She kicked him in the shin and Kim yelped and clutched at his now sore shin and jaw, "And that was for calling me Munchkin!" Alix stormed off angrily as Kim stared at her retreated back in a daze. Max ran over to where his friend was still kneeling on the ground injured.

"Dude, are you ok? I knew Alix was a tough girl but I did not see that one coming. And don't worry about what you said, ok? You didn't know it was her brother." Max knew he was starting to ramble a bit, but he was concerned for Kim. Seeing as Kim had stopped responding to anything he said.

"…Alix just punched me, didn't she?" Kim asked, still staring at the spot Alix had been earlier.

"Um, yes? You were there. Remember?" Max teased as he helped Kim stand back up.

"She punched me without any hesitation. Because she was mad I insulted her brother." Kim continued. Max started getting more concerned with his friend's strange behavior. Kim hadn't hit his head when he fell, and Max was fairly certain Alix hadn't punched Kim that hard, so why was Kim acting so weird?

"Um, are you ok, Kim? You're acting a bit strange. Let's sit you down, ok?" Max sat Kim down on a nearby bench as Kim continued to just stare off and not say anything for the next few minutes. Finally, he broke the silence right before Max called someone to help.

"Max. I think I'm in love." Kim stated and Max looked at him shocked and confused,

"Wait, what? Where did that come from? And with who?"

"Alix, of course. Who else would I be talking about?" Kim turned to talk directly to Max finally.

"Alix?! She just punched you in the face!"

"Exactly." Max stared at his friend in disbelief before shaking his head.

"Let me get this straight. Alix just punched you in the face after you pissed her off, and now you think you're in love with her?"

"Yes."

"Because she punched you?!" Max grabbed his friend's shoulders and shook him back and forth trying to bring some sense back into him. Kim just shrugged in response,

"Kim, that makes absolutely no sense! You and Alix always fight and you easily pissed her off today more so than you ever have before! You held no feelings for her before today and now you love her because she got violent with you! Kim, what are you thinking?" Max asked in an attempt to understand that nonsense that was going through Kim's head.

"Ok, I'll admit I never really thought about Alix that way before today, but I don't hate the idea either, you know? And it's the reason she punched me that made me realize this! Alix is so strong willed and still kind hearted. I liked Chloe because I thought she was pretty and strong willed like Alix also is. The big difference is that Chloe is cold hearted and Alix is kind! So it's perfect!"

"And how did you get all of this from being punched?"

"Alix wasn't scared to punch me because I made her mad. She didn't hesitate at all, and I like that! She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go for it! Plus, she did it all because she cares about her brother and didn't want anyone mocking him even if she knows he is a little nuts. Don't tell her I said that, by the way." Max slapped his forehead in frustration, but he could see the look in Kim's eyes and knew it was hopeless. Kim had the same look in his eyes when he first told Max that he loved Chloe. And even though Max knew Chloe wasn't good for Kim, he still supported his friend because there was no changing Kim's mind when it came to matters of the heart. So Max knew the best thing he could do for Kim now was try and help him as much as he could.

"Ok, that makes a little sense, but what are you going to do now that Alix is mad at you?" Max asked.

"I'll just have to make it up somehow! I'll apologize first and then do something to make her completely forgive me. Then I'll do something special to tell her how I feel!" Max laughed a bit to himself. That plan sounded exactly like something Kim would do. He always wanted to go big whenever it came to his feelings. But Max knew better than to let him do something like that in this situation.

"If I may suggest, I would skip the 'something special' part of the plan or do something small. Alix isn't one of those girls who would want to draw a lot of attention to herself with things like this. Your best bet would be to do something nice and small to make her forgive you, and then tell her privately and simply how you feel." Max explained to Kim who was listening intently.

"You think so? Well, you probably know better than me anyway. Seeing as though I always make her mad somehow. Wait. What if when I go to tell her how I feel, I mess up and make her mad again? And then she won't take me seriously at all!" Kim began to panic. He had been like this ever since Chloe rejected him. He constantly second guessed himself over the oddest things. Like now he was freaking out which made sense, but Max on multiple occasions would have to calm Kim down before he did something as simple as talk to a teacher about homework he didn't understand. Max honestly felt bad for Kim, but he didn't know how else to help other than try and calm him down.

"Calm down, Kim. Alix may get mad at you, but you know she wouldn't think you were a complete joke either. She still respects you and is your friend, so she won't ever hate you simply for saying the wrong thing. And you know I'll help you plan everything out so it goes smoothly. Why don't we go to your house and start with figuring out how you can properly apologize to Alix?" Max stood up and Kim followed him. With a deep breath Kim nodded and put a determined look on his face.

"Right! Let's do this! Thanks Max, I owe you one." Kim smack Max on the back happily and Max nearly fell over because of his friend's strength. With a laugh, the two boys headed for Kim's house.

Kim and Max spent the rest of that Sunday afternoon planning everything out perfectly so Kim could efficiently apologize to Alix. They would then move on to phase two, which would be telling Alix how he felt.

"One step at a time. That way you don't get overwhelmed." Max had said as they made their plan. It was now Monday afternoon, and school was going to be ending in a few minutes and Kim was bouncing his leg nervously. Alix had completely ignored him all day, even when he said good morning to her this morning. The plan had him apologizing immediately after school, and as the day grew closer to a close, he got more and more anxious.

The final bell had just rung and as the students began exiting the classroom, heading for their lockers, Kim rushed to get to the steps outside the school to wait for Alix. She would have to stop here at the steps to put her skates on and then he could finally apologize to her. Of course everything could be completely ruined if she didn't bring her skates today and just kept walking when he tried to talk to her.

Thankfully however, Alix had brought her skates to school today and as she sat down on the bottom step to lace up her skates, Kim walked over and stood in front of her. She looked up at him and frowned, but didn't say a single word.

"Um, hey Alix!" Kim greeted trying to sound like his usual loud self. She continued to ignore him which made his already nervous heart pound even faster in his chest.

"So, I didn't really know that the guy I was making fun of was your brother. Honest! I wouldn't have made fun of him like that if I had known. I mean, that's just common sense right? You don't make fun of someone if their sister is next to you. That's just rude, and I know I might seem like an ass, but I'm not really that rude, y'know?" Alix was looking up at Kim like he was crazy. Kim realized it was probably because he had started to ramble on nervously. He cleared his throat and tried to start again.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry." Kim hung his head trying to hide the embarrassing blush that had found its way onto his face.

"You're sorry, huh? That's a new one…" Alix said bitterly.

"I am! I didn't mean to make you angry. Even if you are cute when you're angry, I didn't try and piss you off this time like I usually do. Although I don't try and piss you off because it makes you look cute, I didn't really notice how cute it was until yesterday so that doesn't really make any sense, right?"

"You think I'm cute?" Alix said with a smirk on her face. Kim had to stop and go over what he had just said before finally realizing the words that had come out of his mouth. He began to panic and try and cover up for what he had said, but it was too late. Alix had heard it and wasn't about to let it go.

"Aw, Kim~ you think I'm cute. That's adorable. You, who's always teasing Ivan about his feelings for Mylene! Tell me, what made you realize how adorable I am?" Alix teased as she stood up to poke at Kim's chest. Kim, who was now a blushing mess, began to pout slightly and glare at the short girl in front of him.

"Well, to be honest, it was after you punched me yesterday." Kim answered sincerely. Kim was never one to lie, so why would he start now? He had always been very blunt with his honesty.

"After I punched you? That's hilarious!" Alix began laughing hard and clutching at her sides. A few of the students still at school turned to look at them and Kim hung his head sadly. He should've known Alix was going to laugh at him, just like Chloe had.

"Aw, don't be sad. I'm just kidding," Kim's head popped up to look Alix as she continued, "I don't know what is going through that crazy mind of yours, but if punching you made you like me, who am I to complain. You'll have to explain how that all happened some time, kay? I have to go now, but I'll talk to you late." Alix was about to start off when Kim grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Wait! Does that mean we can go out? I mean, like you know…" Kim had trouble forming the words he wanted to say but Alix simply rolled her eyes and finished for him.

"A date? Sure, how does lunch tomorrow sound? Maybe if everything goes well, I won't have to punch you again." Alix winked and Kim smiled triumphantly.

"Ha! It'll be such an amazing date, you won't even think about punching me!"

"Yeah right, I always want to punch you, you idiot. I mean that with affection, of course." Alix replied as she began skating off. Kim began cheering for himself as Max walked out of the school and over to Kim.

"Well, it didn't exactly go as planned, but everything worked out, right?" Max asked patting his friend on the back as Kim continued to bounce up and down happily.

"Yep! And now I have to plan out the perfect lunch date with Alix!" Max sighed, knowing he would probably need to help Kim with this plan as well. After all, Kim isn't exactly the brightest when it comes to matter of the heart. Really, who needs to be punched to figure out who their heart belongs to?
