Julio's POV

As I sat there on the couch processing the past hour's events I couldn't help but think about Compa's reactions to Kila and how she was the most upset about the position me and Kila were in. Did she like me? It appeared so especially when she pressed against me which shocked me to no end because she doesn't seem like the type of girl to do that until Kila started doing it

Speaking of her, I wasn't sure how I felt about her. I mean she was attractive and from the looks of it really kind plus, she's a fighter like me. I wasn't sure about her apparent other side that loved toying with me when we fought, she seemed cruel and quite frankly terrifying especially since she could have killed meat any time. Yet I could sense she was telling the truth when she told us about this other side of hers and I couldn't help but believe her.

"Hey Crimy, you okay?" Neptune asked looking at me curiously. I guess I was making a face or something that tipped her off.

"Yeah just processing the current events." I said scratching my head with a smile.

"Yeah seems like a lot to take in especially since the girl that almost killed you confessed her love to you." She commented before getting up and walking towards the door. "By the way let's talk in private about this."

"Probably smart since she's in the kitchen with Compa." I said getting up and following her outside with ai following ("Seriously you're sticking with that nickname." Yes, now be quiet.) us possibly to discuss it as well.

Outside the apartment

"So, what are you gonna do?" IF asked me crossing her arms.

"I don't know. I got one girl who just straight up said she loved me and another that has feelings for me and is super jealous." I said sighing before getting looks from them.

"How did you know Compa likes you?" Neptune asked me.

"She's been the most vocal about Kila and her flirting, has been blushing a lot around me lately and pressed her chest to my arm about ten minutes ago clearly jealous. Not hard to figure it out since I'm not the oblivious type." I said crossing my arms. "Now you just proved my point with that question implying that talk you had was about me."

"Oh, guess I did blow it." Neptune said laughing embarrassed before turning a bit serious. "But what are you gonna do now that you know and how do you feel?"

"To be honest I do have feelings for her but around Kila even though I barely met her I can't help but feel weird like I'm nervous around her." I said truthfully. "And I don't want to hurt either of them by choosing one over the other."

"Well you're in quite the predicament then Crim." IF said sympathetically. "Personally, I think you should pick Compa since you've known her longer and you're sure you like her."

"That seems smart but at the same time I'm not sure it's a good idea to pursue a relationship especially with the current events." I said.

"That may be true but you know you can't avoid this right?" Neptune asked. "At some point your gonna have to decide."

I sighed at the truth of that. "I know and I am not looking forward to it."

"Guys, foods ready!" I heard Compa call and we nodded and went inside. I immediately noticed that Compa was giving me an especially sweet smile which I returned with my own smile hiding my uncomfortableness especially since Kila gave me a very seducing smile that didn't go unnoticed by Compa as she frowned at her.

"I made some special sushi though I had to make more due to an unexpected guest." She said giving Kila a look who responded with sticking out her tongue. "Anyways enjoy."

Taking bite out of mine I immediately began to eat more since as always Compa's food was delicious and soon I had emptied the plate and Compa soon had another one in front of me. At first I wondered how she was so quick then I realized she had just come to learn about my eating habits especially since my ability to eat had grown now that my saiyan instincts had developed more.

"My warrior." I heard Kila purr and turned my attention to her just now noticing she was sitting next to me and on my other side was Compa. "Say ahh."

"Um okay ahh." I then noticed she put a piece of sushi in my mouth and I immediately ate it without hesitation before I heard Compa let out a "hmph" and turned my attention to her and saw her pouting. "What's up?"

"Nothing Crim-Crim. Here try mine." She said feeding me as well and I of course ae I naturally ate it and before long both had fed me bites and I then noticed IF and Neptune's stares so I decided to excuse myself.

"Man, that was good." I sighed as I rose from my chair. "Well if you need me I'm gonna go do some training. I'll be back later."

"Okay be back soon Crim-Crim." Compa said and I simply nodded.

"Wait." Kila said and I turned my head to her. "How about a training partner? It's always best to have someone to train alongside you."

"She is correct sir." Yen said from the watch. "By my calculations your results will be greater with her training alongside you especially since she would be the perfect candidate to practice the Kaioken with and increase your limit."

"Hmm… not a bad idea." I said pondering it before deciding. "Alright let's go."

"Yay!" She cheered very happy but I noticed Compa's upset look but pushed it off for now. We'll talk when I get back. "We'll be back before curfew. Hopefully her scary side doesn't pop up."

"Hey! I'll try my best to make sure she doesn't!" Kila pouted cutely.

"I know just messin'." I chuckled remembering that she was also cute not just sexy. "Let's go before curfew starts."

"Kay." She said.

Time skip 10 minutes. Clearing.

"Alright." I said stretching. "Let's start it off slow with a bit of stretching."

We both began to stretch so we don't pull anything. We did basics like rolling our shoulders and touching our toes. I finished early and noticed she was still stretching and noticed she was very flexible from the way she stretched until she noticed me looking.

"Like what you see, my warrior." She said smiling in a way that caused me to blush red. "It's okay, I find checking me out a compliment since you are admiring my body."

"Um let's get started already. So, don't hold anything back and I won't either." I said as a red aura surrounded me. "Kaioken!"

"So, that's what beat me it certainly looks powerful." Kila commented as her aura surrounded her but instead of purple it was a white one. "First person to pin the other wins?"

I nodded and shot forward and our fist clashed. We were about even since my injuries from our last fight had healed and given me a decent zenkai boost and I wasn't using times two. The base Kaioken was a simple fifty percent increase so we were perfectly even. She threw a quick kick and I blocked it before slamming my foot into her gut causing her to stumble back and it became evident who hit harder since when she managed to land a kick to my face I barely moved back at went back and forth for a good ten minutes until she tired out evidently not much stamina. Taking advantage of the moment I shot forward and managed to pin her under me her on the ground and facing me. We both were panting and tired and she smiled at me.

"You win and we are in quite the position, aren't we?" She said so, I realized that the position looked like I was about to kiss her so I got off her and checked the time and saw it was only 7:30. "Aww I liked the position."

"We still have time to spar." I said looking at her.

"Actually, let's go into the city." Kila said.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Well I know you don't trust me completely and you think the confession was sudden so I want to get to know each other a bit." She said. "And if possible we can come back and train more."

"Alright seems good." I said before pulling out a capsule and revealing the gravity chamber. "It's probably to clean up a bit since we finished sparring."

"Oh, is there a shower here?" She asked amazed as we walked in. "What is this?"

"A gravity chamber. It can increase the gravity up to I believe over a thousand Gamindustri's regular gravity." I said leading her to the shower. "Here put your clothes in here and they'll be clean and dry and the shower is over there."

"Thanks, I'll hurry up so you can take yours." She said as I walked out and into the chamber itself.

20 minutes later

Soon we were both showered and smelled lot better with our clothes clean and we were walking in the streets of Planeptune looking around. It wasn't eight yet so quite a few places were still open especially since it was announced that curfew was extended to 11 o'clock since monster attacks had died down.

"So, what do you want to do?" I asked.

"Hmm… let's head to that arcade." She suggested pointing to a nearby one.

"Seems like it could be fun." I said and we walked into it. We got ourselves some tokens and began to play. We primarily played with each other on co-op games, fighting games and air hockey in which I won but barely by one point. During this we had gotten quite an amount of tickets which when added up together via a machine equaled 15000 so yeah, we had earned a lot. So, in order to still have time to hang out we went up to the ticket counter and began to decide what to get when I noticed she was looking at a stuffed rabbit that was exactly the amount we had and she looked like she really wanted it.

"We'll take the rabbit tight there." I said shocking her and the clerk nodded and handed it over. I turned my attention to Kila and handed it to her. "Here you go."

"Thank you but why?" She asked me as we walked out with her hugging it to her chest

"You were eying it a bit and there's nothing I wanted on there so I figured why not." I answered causing her to blush lightly. "So, what next we still got another two hours till curfew."

"Let's get some ice cream." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me along.

Ice cream shop

"I'll have two scoops of strawberry." Kila said and the woman serving ice cream nodded scooping it onto a cone and handing it to her.

"I'll take mint chocolate chip one scoop please." I said and received mine before paying for our ice cream. "Thank you."

"Have a nice night with your girlfriend." She responded kindly before attending to another customer before I could correct her.

"Let's go eat them at the park." Kila said so we walked to it and sat on a bench and looked at the sky already dark. The stars made it beautiful and we stared up eating our ice cream.

"So, you said something about getting to know each other, right?" I asked finishing my ice cream and wiping my mouth with a napkin.

"Yeah but you don't have to if you want to." Kila said finishing hers off as well.

"No, it's fine I have nothing to hide anyway." I said. "So ask away."

"Okay let's start simple. What's your favorite food?" She asked.

"Cheeseburgers. I just love them." I answered. "Yours?"

"Strawberries. Their just so sweet." She responded. "Let's ask a personal one. Ever had a girlfriend?"

"Um…Yes but it ended on mutual terms." I said truthfully. "You?"

"A lot. With my looks, it wasn't hard for boys to come up and ask me out." She said shrugging. "But none of them made a lasting impression."

"I bet. Okay simple question. Favorite genre of movie." I said. "Mine's horror, yours?"

"Action and horror can't seem to decide." She said frowning. "Personal. Family if you're comfortable with it."

"Only child and my parents were almost never around so I guess I had a strained relationship with them." I answered telling the truth. "Your family?"

"Middle child but I was the most adored so I guess I'm a daddy's girl but my older siblings never minded so I have a good one." She said.

"My turn. Did you live in Planeptune?" I asked.

"Nope Leanbox came here to start my own life land of purple progress after all." She answered. "You?"

"Lastation came here because I heard this place was fun which it is." I said. "Plus, I needed to get away from my parents."

"Why?"

"They were to be honest very expectant of me especially since I graduated early and you can imagine their shock when they found out their son didn't want to follow in their footsteps. So, we fought and after a month of tension I just left no note and no telling where I was going."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I made peace with this a few weeks ago." I said though I didn't say I had already talked with Compa about this since it would likely make Kila jealous.

"Oh well let's get going it's late now." She said standing up and offering me a hand which I took. We then begun walking back to the apartment talking about random things like favorite colors and what not mine being red because it represented a lot of things and hers being black since it went with everything and it showed elegance. We finally arrived at the door and were about to go in when she did something that shocked me. She placed her bunny on the ground, wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me full on the lips. At first I was shocked but then I wrapped my arms around her waist kissed back and after a few seconds she pulled away panting lightly with a smile on her face and I realized I was smiling too.

"You're a good kisser. Hope we can do it again." She said picking up her rabbit before knocking and the door opened but before it did I snapped out of it. Compa had opened the door and though she tried to hide it I sensed sadness from her.

"Hey your back. How was the training?" She asked hiding her sadness and I guess Kila noticed it to because she blinked and answered good.

"Yeah it went well. How was being with Neptune and ai?" I asked dreading the idea she saw the kiss.

"Nice. We played video games and talked about things." She said.

"Cool. I bought me this because I love bunnies." Kila lied to my surprise, I'd have thought she would have talked about our time together. Which I guess all things considered was an actual date considering all we did.

"Yeah she did that while I did some training alone with Yen." I said playing along though it did bother me to lie. I would have to make it up to her somehow. "Well I'm tired I'll get to bed."

"Oh well good night Crim-Crim." Compa said brightly.

"You too."

Midnight.

I laid there on my pallet unable to sleep trying to process the events today. In just a few hours I had gained new friend, got myself into a love triangle, got kissed by one of the girls and now the other might have seen it happen. I stood up and walked towards the door and stepped out and looked at the stars thinking.

"That kiss I actually enjoyed it a lot. It just felt good. But at the same time, it felt wrong. Like it felt right but there was something missing. Do I like Kila? Yes, I do but I won't deny I have feelings for Compa as well. They both make me feel happy and right. Kila matches me in terms of likes and dislikes and Compa does to in certain things plus Compa is everything I like in a girl but so is Kila. This is so confusing!" I thought to myself. "Tomorrow I'll take Compa on a date and see if it's the same with her like I felt with Kila and if it is then I'm in trouble and if it isn't then I know who I like more."

I walked inside and laid back on my pallet and glanced at Kila who was sleeping on an inflatable mattress peacefully and smiled at her. She looked cute like that with her tail wrapped around her and her ears flat.

Then I glanced at Compa who had decided to sleep with us in the living room tonight. She was cute as well when asleep but then again, she was always cute whether she tried or not. And it was one of the things I liked about her and the fact she was always kind even to Kila and she started flirting with me.

I then looked up at the ceiling and began to fall asleep tired and ready for the day to begin.

AN: well this is starting to heat up isn't it? I mean Julio just got kissed and has figured out he likes both girls.

Jeez you sure like making things hell for the guy. And he hasn't even gotten to the difficult parts of the story.

I know and soon he will face real challenges and be pushed to his limit but at least he has potentially two girls to get him through it.

So, you really are going harem despite saying you wouldn't.

Well things change and characters appear. And yes, Julio is getting a harem but not every single girl just a few. The next girl won't appear till the next story and if I do add another girl it's likely not for a while.

Well at least it's a small one but it better not be who I think it is.

Hey, I'm still deciding who but I can definitely say it's not Rom or Ram their more like little sisters than anything.

Good but- never mind I'm gonna do the review thing. Please leave a review with your thoughts and ideas, criticism as long as it's helpful and could help the story progress and please no flames.

Next time on Neptunia: the Saiyan Warrior: Julio asks Compa out and she agrees so Julio begins o figure it out on who he likes. Will Julio decide and who will he pick.? Find out next time on Date and Decision. Don't miss it. Bye. Bye.
