Tao smiled gleefully as his fingers hovered over the keyboard of his computer. Typing rapidly, he stared into the computer screen, the light reflecting off of his dark eyes.

M21 approached him warily, all the while wondering if being in Tao's presence was even wise. But his curiosity got the best of him, and he could not deny his interest. "Tao, what are you working on?"

Tao merrily clapped his hands together. "Let me show you!" He beamed as he turned his computer around to face M21. He smiled. "I set up a profile for Takeo!"

M21 squinted as he looked at the computer screen displaying a bio that was, apparently, Takeo's. He glanced at Tao with confusion. "A dating profile?"

Tao nodded. "Yep. I thought he needed a little bit of help in the love department, and who better to assist him than me? I mean, signing him up was easy. But it was finding the right picture for him that proved to be the trickiest."

M21's grey eyes scanned through the profile. He grinned in amusement. "Huh, I didn't know Takeo liked long walks on the beaches."

Tao shrugged. "I'm not so sure he does." At M21's incredulous look, Tao exclaimed defensively. "What? The website asked for his five main interests! Fighting Union monsters wasn't on the list."

"I wouldn't call fighting the Union an interest, Tao!" M21 retorted. "And is this really okay?" he asked. "Does Takeo even know about what you are doing?"

Tao chuckled. "That's why it's called a surprise. Though, I signed him up using my email, but I can always change that." He sat back in his chair with a smile. "Now all we have to do is wait and see who shows any interest in him." As if one cue, Tao's phone let out a loud 'ding' and he leaned forward eagerly. "Wow, that was fast."

M21 looked over Tao's shoulder. "What? Did he get a woman already?"

Tao smiled as he typed on his computer. "Someone is messaging him. Someone...named Marcus." Tao's typing came to a halt.

M21 blinked. "What?"

Tao sucked in a breath. "And...another guy named Jason is also messaging him. And Truman. And Lucas."

M21 stared. "Why are a bunch of guys interested in Takeo?" He glared at Tao. "Did you make it clear that he was male? What kind of a picture did you even use for Takeo?" At Tao's sheepish look, M21 grabbed the computer and scrolled through Takeo's profile page. At one look of the picture, M21 smacked Tao upside the head. "That's the best picture you could come up with? He looks like a girl!"

"He does not!" Tao exclaimed. "I mean, sure the chin is a little soft. He's got full, pink cheeks. And the long hair does compliment his dainty features...oh no." Tao slumped in his chair. "He looks like a girl."

"And a very good one at that," M21 noted with admiration. If he didn't know any better, he would have assumed at first glance that Takeo was an attractive female. A very tall, very attractive female. M21 leaned in closer to the screen, squinting. "In fact, he looks too good. Did you touch up his picture?"

"So what if I edited it? I wanted to compliment his assets!"

"I think you did too good of a job," M21 grumbled. "He's got sixteen messages so far in the last five minutes!" He looked at Tao. "So now what?"

Tao fiddled with his thumbs.

M21 sighed. "Should we tell Takeo…"

"...to get ready for his date?" Tao teased.

"For my what?"

Both Tao and M21 yelped, turning to look at the approaching sniper. Takeo's amused smile faded slightly at their startled looks. M21 averted his gaze, looking at anything other than Takeo. He did not know how Takeo would take the news about being signed up for a dating website, let alone attracting both sexes.

"What's wrong?" Takeo's gaze became fixed on Tao. "What did you do?"

Tao hurriedly shut down his computer. "Nothing," he said quickly.

Uh huh. Takeo knew better. As a result, his suspicions towards his comrades odd behavior only grew. "Did you liquidate my bank account?"

Both M21 and Tao winced at the word liqui-date. Tao chuckled nervously. "Hahaha~ No. I would never do that."

Takeo raised an eyebrow. He eyed Tao's phone at the loud 'din ding. Ding ding.' "Sounds like you're popular."

"Someone sure is," M21 muttered under his breath. He had a good idea where the emails were coming from. Tao's pale cheeks turned pink, and he avoided Takeo's stare.

"I'll just unsubscribe him," Tao muttered.

"Hey, Tao," Takeo asked suddenly, staring at his phone. "Who's Lucas?"
