A/N: Has it been forever since I posted anything or what? Geez...and now I am once again posting a new story. I was originally intending for this to be a one-shot, but I developed plot and stuff and it just did not turn out that way. Allah save my soul.

Luckily, I don't think this story will be terribly long, nor is it's plot mind-numbingly deep. It's a simple story I think, and I hope you all enjoy it...

As always, read, review, enjoy.

I'm invisible! I thought this move to a new place, to a new school would help me. I truly did. I thought that if I moved somewhere new where people did not have an image of me ingrained in their mind that I would make friends!

What am I doing wrong? I'm smiling and I take the initiative! I talk to people, invite them to spend time with me if I think it's going well. I'm warm and open...I'm even top of my class, and I don't boast.

What am I doing wrong? Why am I so invisible? Not even the teacher knows I'm there...

"Hey! What's with you? This room's supposed to be empty! Hey!" Fingers curled into blonde locks and pulled Fai into a sitting position, "Hey! What's wrong? You're crying!" Fai stared blankly at a handsome face with red eyes for a moment before his vision was blocked by a hand that attempted to dry his tears. "What's wrong?!"

Fai shook his head slowly, as if to say that there was nothing wrong. "Don't give me that crap! What class are you in?"

"T-This one..."

"No way, this class went on a field trip today!"

"I know," Fai whispered, "I had forgotten something in my locker, so I went to get it, and when I got back...they were gone. Bus and all." He wasn't even sure how they had done all that in the minute or so it had taken him to run to his locker and back, but somehow they had.

"Didn't you tell anyone?!"

Fai shrugged, "I did. I don't really think they heard me. What does it matter? I can just go home now right? Class is over?" Fai gave a laugh sobbing laugh as more tears ran down his face.

"Hey! Don't cry!" The red-eyed person looked around the room before he pulled at Fai's arm, "Come on!"

"Where are we going?"

"I'm supposed to be on cleaning duty today, but I'm cutting. You're coming with me. Come on."

"But..."

"Come on. I'm not taking no for an answer!"

The boy pulled Fai from his chair and led him out of the room, down the hall, and right out of school. Fai had no idea where they were going, and as the boy pushed Fai onto a park bench, he still didn't know. "I'll be back. You don't move. Not an inch." Fai was then left alone to watch the wind blow as the other boy walked off.

Where's he going? Fai wondered. Is he going to come back like he said he would? Or will he too forget that I exist and leave? He'll probably leave. I would leave me too. After all, my own teacher forgot I existed and left without me. Surely this boy will forget. Even if he doesn't mean to.

Fai's hands gripped to his knees as he thought, Maybe I should leave. Go home. The boy did tell me to not move...but he'll forget to come back, and if I don't go home, I'll end up being stupid and sit here all night...

"Here." Fai looked up and his eyes widened as there stood the red-eyed boy, shoving a Styrofoam cup into the blond's face. "Drink it. It's warm, it's cold outside."

"What is it?" Even as he asked, Fai reached out and took the cup from the boy. It was warm, and its warmth made him give the smallest of small smiles.

"It's rat poison," the boy said sarcastically as he sat down next to Fai taking a sip from his own cup. "It's cocoa, idiot Mage."

Fai frowned, "Mage?"

"Yeah, Mage. I know, it's not your name, but I don't know your name. To me, not only do you look foreign, but you look magical, like a mage."

"Oh...My name is Fai...but no one's ever given me a nickname before. It's kinda nice."

"Yeah...I like Mage better for you anyway. My name is Kurogane."

"Kuro-chan."

Kurogane looked at Fai and opened his mouth to object, but closed it again after a moment of staring at the blond in front of him. "I guess. I'll allow it. Drink your cocoa."

Fai smiled a little as he brought the cup to his lips. I'm not invisible after all. Even if it's just one person...I'm visible. The boy gave a small laugh at his next thought, If he was a girl, I would probably fall in love with him, just like in all the fairy tales.
