Set during episode 42.
Work Text:
When they all went back to the train after ringing the bell, Right was running to the train, Tokatti and Mio were walking along each other, but within a distance, Kagura and Hikari were walking behind the two, and Akira was last.
While walking behind the Hikari noticed that Tokatti tripped 5 times and would clumsily drop his glasses. Hikari sighed at this.
"Hikari? Is there something wrong?", Kagura noticed
"Hm? No, I'm just thinking about some people." , Hikari replied with another sigh
"Oh, ok."
Once they were back on the train, Mio and Kagura went back to their trains' to change. Right, Tokatti, Hikari, and Akira were left in the Dinning cart.
"Well, I better get going.", Akira got up and left
"Bye Akira.", Tokatti waved
"Bye bye!", Right Smiled
Hikari just waved his hand.
After a while Right left, as he complained that he was getting bored and hungry. With that, it just left Hikari and Tokatti alone. Hikari spoke up.
"Why're you so nervous?"
"Huh? I'm not nervous!"
"No, you are.", Hikari said in a matter of fact tone," You tripped 5 times in front of me."
"Y-You saw?!"
"Anyone behind you would've seen that (Kagura and Akira)."
"I'm embarrassed!"
"Don't feel bad, aside from that is that you're getting *cough* closer.
"Hikari!"
"Ok, ok. So when will you tell her?"
"I was thinking of telling Mio, maybe after we defeat the Shadow Line."
"Tokatti, you know maybe, sometimes means never..."
"WHAT?!"
"Keep your voice down! I was just saying."
"Sorry."
"I've already told Kagura to deal with Mio, because if you thought no one else except myself noticed, you were wrong."
"Kagura also?!"
"And possibly Wagon."
"No, no, no, not Wagon!"
"Kagura's probably giving the same lecture to Mio."
"WHAT?!", came a feminine scream
"Yup. She is."
"Hikari!", complained Tokkati," I knew it, I'm weak against your plans."
"I never said that."
"Wahh! Oh, you didn't?"
"No..."
"I-I think I'll tell her!"
"When?"
"Tonight!"
"Good Luck~!", Hikari said mischievously as he left the Dining cart
"Eehh?! W-wait! Don't leave me!"
"Too late!", Hikari yelled
Being left alone in the Dining cart Tokatti stood there till he could muster up his courage. Outside Hikari met Kagura.
"So how'd it go?", Kagura asked
"Ok. You?"
"Great! Mio said that she'd tell him tonight!"
"Same here."
"Good job?"
"Good job.", Hikari smiled patting Kagura's head
Back in the Dining Cart they could hear Mio and Tokatti talking. The next day, Tokatti came up to Hikari and thanked him, instead Hikari said that it wasn't him, but that it was Tokatti's own courage.
