Chapter 1: Curious

-

It was confusing to say the least. Nothing had happened for over a month now. He had been left in relative peace; the only thing received being a nod of acknowledgement when they passed each other in the hallway. Craig really didn't get it. Kenny was acting so strange...

It could only mean one thing. Kenny was planning something. Something big. He grit his teeth. Well, he would find out what it was. Even if it's going to take him all week.

Things were not going Kenny's way. Nothing was going according to plan, and it seemed like Craig was becoming suspicious. Just what he needed: a pissed off raven who would kick his ass on any given day without a reason, a failing plan, and...that other thing. Really, things could be better. He sighed.

"Damn, I just don't get why it's not working..."

"What's not working?" Kenny whipped around. He forced a grin.

"Craig! It's so nice to see you. You're just in time for tea. Would you like some cake?"

"Cut the crap." The raven's voice was icy as he flip the boy off. "I know you're planning something McCormick. I might let you off easy if you tell me what it is." Kenny smirked.

"Yeah, like I'm stupid enough to believe that. I've been in this business too long, Craig" He sent the boy a cocky grin. "You'll just have to be patient, like everyone else." Craig growled at him.

"Tell me, Now, McCormick."

"Hmmmm...Nope, sorry. No can do, bossman. Besides, why is it always me who's planning something? And why do you always think I am planning something? Am I not allowed to relax?"

The infuriating smirk was back. Craig clenched his teeth. If he hadn't been so angry, he might have noticed the strange glint in Kenny's eyes. But for now he stalked off, unable to prove anything, leaving Kenny to work on whatever he was doing. Craig couldn't fairly blame Kenny for not telling, but it was certainly irritating. There had been no chance in hell that he would have let Kenny off easy.

God, he needed a cigarette. Badly. Why was it that Kenny always seemed to have this affect on him? This...power over him to make him feel like he was having the best time of his life and then leave him feeling like a damn fool? This ability to irritate him to a level no one else could? It made his heart race and his face turn red. ...With Anger. It was definitely anger.

With an irritated sigh, Craig lit his cigarette and took a long drag off of it. He didn't need this right now.

But what the hell was Kenny planning?

'I'm curious to know.'

A/N: ...Well then. I'm back! hehe. And here's a new story. Review And I might end up finishing this.
