"I don't think that's going a problem."

Everyone turned to look at Juubei in confusion; except for Kazuki of course.

"Why do you say that, Juubei?" Ginji leaned himself on the counter and swerved his torso slightly so he could be some semblance of face-to-face with the needle user.

"Shido heard Ban confessing his feelings and I watched the two of them, from afar, just long enough to see them kiss. So I'm positive Ban will accept the bond and Shido has not driven him away, yet." Juubei shrugged and maneuvered himself into the vacant seat next to Kazuki, not once letting go of the feminine man's waist.

"You saw them kissing?" Natsumi asked as she set a fresh cup of tea in front of each lovebird, a light blush upon her face as she pictured the sight.

"Technically they were making out…" he reached into a back pocket and produced his phone. He flipped it open and clicked a couple of buttons before turning it to her.

She gasped as she studied the picture. Juubei had been standing behind and slightly to the left of where Ban and Shido were sitting on a park bench. They were obviously preoccupied, Ban sitting in Shido's lap and arms wrapped everywhere. She blushed deeper and turned to stare at the needle user with shocked open eyes.

"You must send that to me." she said after a moment.

"I didn't know you were a fangirl, Natsumi." Kazuki chuckled as he grabbed Juubei's phone to study the picture himself.

"Says the fangirl that asked me to get the picture in the first place." Juubei pointed out and Kazuki waved a hand dismissively.

"I never claimed I wasn't." he chimed as he pushed a few buttons, a jingle sounding in Natsumi's pocket and then a buzz of vibration coming from his own.

Natsumi instantly pulled out her phone and nearly squealed in delight when she saved the picture to her gallery. Then she paused and looked towards Kazuki confused.

"How do you know my phone number, Kazuki-san? I don't remember giving it to you…"

"I got it from Paul." Another dismissive wave. Natsumi turned to her boss and he just shrugged, unconcerned. She huffed and shook her head with a smile, letting it go. She tended to not question her boss's actions anymore.

Ginji had been staring at Juubei than Kazuki in blank shock the entire time. When words finally found their way back to him, he sputtered out in embarrassment.

"Kazuki! Why would you want a picture of them k-kissing?" he asked in a near whine.

"Hmm?" Kazuki paused in his button pushing, now using his own phone having handed Juubei's back to him, and turned to the blonde. "Two reasons: 1) I wanted proof that Ban confessed and wanted to see Shido's reaction, and 2) now I can embarrass them both by giving them this picture as a gift later."

"That's a wonderful idea!" Natsumi did squeal this time.

"You really must be a girl, Kazuki, if you could think of something so devious." Paul commented from behind his newspaper. Kazuki smiled and nodded agreeing.

"One would think…"

"I'm glad it's just a thought." Juubei said, tightening his grip briefly.

"Don't worry Juubei. Either way, you are the only guy for me." Kazuki reached a hand up, grabbing the side of the needle user's head so he could place a quick peck to his cheek.

Ginji smiled at their antics, resting his chin upon his hand and leaned against the counter. He sighed in thought as he stared at nothing in particular.

"When do you think they'll be back?" he wondered after a moment.

"They should be back soon, school's just about over for the day so that playground is going to get quite busy." Kazuki answered. He took a sip of tea and paused, tilting his head towards the door. "Ah, speak of the devil."

Before anyone could say anything else, the bell above the door jingled as it was opened and in stepped the two spike-heads. Ban directed a smile at Ginji before he spoke.

"Ginji! We got something to ask you!"

Author's Note

Hey guys, sorry this chapter is on the short side. I promise the next will be back to the normal 1,000 word length. :)

I always figured Natsumi for a fangirl and Yaoi fan. :3 Also, out of the two of them, I like to think that Kazuki would be the more technology prone, not Juubei. But those are just my opinions. As well, I think the giving of the make-out photo will make for a great one-shot in the future if I have the time to write it.

Anyways, to reviews!

darkhuntressxir: Chapter 12 – I know, right? And I'm glad it didn't come to that. :) Chapter 13 – I understand completely! That happens to me all the time. I hope to add more Ban teasing Shido in future chapter/stories. :3

That's all for now!
