Young, Misaki Tokura was sitting in her room after an awkward conversation with her uncle, it was her 17th birthday he had the one conversation she didn't want to have yet, he had asked her when she'll start dating and it was a little odd, that he did that right infront of the guys Team Q4 and Aichi's friends Morikawa, Izaki, Miwa, and Kai. Her mind flashed to the conversation.

"Misaki, as some of the people in this shop have so nonchalantly pointed out, I am not getting any younger", he said glancing at some of the people playing in the store, "But when are you going to start dating?"

She looked at him, "Uncle, with Miyaji and how it is I just don't have the time and I still work part-time might I add at a cardshop who would actually have the time on their hands", She asked folding her arms.

"Uncle, I'll worry about getting a boyfriend after graduating," Misaki continued, unconsciously her eyes drifted towards a certain blue-haired individual, Shin noticed this following the path her eyes made.

"I see," Shin spoke up, "Could it be that he's why your deck, is more warrior oriented now?"

Misaki had blushed and ran upstairs slamming the door behind her.

"Is it why my deck is warrior oriented? Yeah I think so," she said, her eyes looking at the picture of when they won Nationals together, she smiled at Aichi, who was smiling but blushing in the picture, she assumed, the blush was because of her in the picture she was hugging him, and his height at the time his head only reached her bust.

"He's changed since then, he's taller and even more handsome, I wonder, I know I like him alot, but is the feeling possibly mutual?", she said laying down on her bed.

Just then as she was closing her eyes, she heard a knock on the door, she hesitated to answer...

"...Yes?", she asked

"Misaki, are you ok?, Downstairs you sounded a bit upset, especially with the manager?", said a voice she knew all to well..it was Aichi.

"yeah, I'm fine, did Shin send you up to check on me?"

"No, I came up her because I was worried about you, Shin just let me up here", he said.

That's sweet he's worried about me, but he worries for all his friends, she thought, but nonetheless she blushed and her heart fluttered,

"I think- I think I love you Aichi Sendou," She whispered then to Aichi, "I'm fine just tired, Aichi"
