As the school bells rang, Minato raced out of his school to see Ayato waiting for him, "Hey Minato! How was school?", Minato always had something to say to Ayato either big or small, and anything in between. "One thing's for sure," said Minato, "I got a 100 on my test for Twelve Angry Men!"; not much of a bookworm himself, he did know that TAM is an American book, one that's hard to read, especially for a middle schooler.

As they walk their way to Anteiku, Ayato notices the girl Minato usually talks about, Marie. Ayato then stops Minato and asks him about her, "Hey Minato! That wouldn't happen to be that girl you talk abo-" Minato didn't even think twice about covering Ayato's mouth, never has he ever been that close to embarrassment. "Shh! Aya-cha! Don't! Not cool!", as he argued with Ayato, Minato wasn't looking in front of him, in which he soon bumped into Marie. "M-Marie-chan! I'm sorry! I should've watched where I was walking! My apologies!", continuing to apologize, Marie laughs on how he's saying sorry when she wasn't even looking where to walk; "I'm sorry Minato-kun, but it wasn't your fault, I should be apologizing! Is he a friend?", Marie then points at Ayato, and Minato states that he's actually his uncle. Marie was confused for a moment, due to the fact she sees Minato with black hair and Ayato with purple hair, but she had to settle with the info she had.

After the awkward collision, both Minato and Ayato continued on their way back to Anteiku as Ayato himself made a grin. Minato asks, "Uh Aya-cha, what's with the face?", "Minato! You need to ask her out already! I mean, once you see the right moment, you need to take it!"; annoyed by Ayato's suggestions on dating, Minato comes back with, "Well if I have to look for the right moment, how come you haven't asked Hinami-chan to go out with you yet?". Hearing that made Ayato blush intensely, "D-Don't say it out loud! Ugh! You just had to be like your father didn't you?".

Moments later they both reached Anteiku, seeing Kaneki make the food, Touka making coffee, and Hinami serving the tables, and Nishiki was just there. Touka greets her son saying, "Welcome back! How was school?", Minato said it was the same old, same old. As he was talking to his mother, Minato wanted to at least help Ayato with, "Looking for the right moment," and was pushing Ayato towards Hinami; as Ayato makes a face towards Minato, he hears from behind him, "Oh Ayato-kun! How are you today?", and realizing it was Hinami. "Oh uh... Hi Hinami-chan! I-I'm fine th-thank you for asking! Listen uh...,", unable to finish his sentence, Hinami interrupts asking, "What's wrong?", unknowing to her, that made her look cuter in Ayato's eyes making him blush a bit. Ayato then tries to finish his sentence, "S-So I bought two t-tickets for a movie a friend and I wanted to see, b-but he s-s-sort of had plans, s-so I was wondering if y-you'd like to take their place?", with a gentle smile, Hinami accepts the request for the movies.

By closing time, Ayato was waiting for Hinami and was a bit nervous. As Hinami got out of her uniform and into her normal clothes, Ayato was looking at what may have been a girl only seen in dreams; as they both left, Kaneki, Touka, and Nishiki see them and thought that it seemed a bit odd. Kaneki asks, "What do you think they're up to?", thinking of reasons, the three came up with one possibility, and at the same time they were hesitating about it; the three of them had one thing in mind, "Hinami and Ayato?", breaking the silence, Kaneki states, "Yeah I can see them together!", soon after Touka says, "I have to agree!", and Nishiki answering with, "What's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah! I, 'ship' it!". As the three finish their discussion Minato is hearing the conversation and making a grin of his own staring at Ayato and Hinami, he then says to himself, "You're welcome Ayato! Just remember you owe me!"
