A/N: Chapter 21!
Thanks for all of your support! I hope you enjoy this Chapter.
As Andrew was getting ready for bed, he couldn't stop worrying about his talk with Sayer.
He decided to think about Yusei and Akiza and how they could be happy, if this worked.
As he laid down in bed, he imagined Yusei and Akiza happily holding hands and smiling.
"If this works out, Yusei and Akiza will be so happy," Andrew said.
He turned on his side.
"Not to mention they are a cute couple. Yusei's a good looking guy and Akiza's a very attractive woman."
He sighed.
As he went to sleep, despite some positive thinking, he couldn't get the pessimistic thoughts out of his head.
The next morning, he went to Akiza's room one more time.
After he set her food down, she handed him the recorder.
"I got the message," Akiza proclaimed.
Andrew gave her a smile.
As Akiza ate, Andrew put the earpieces, recorder, and microphone on.
Akiza tried to help him hide them, when she had finished eating.
"Thanks Akiza," he said as he left her room.
Akiza smiled as he shut the door.
Once Andrew had delivered the empty tray, he went up to Sayer's office.
He knocked on the office door.
"Who is it?" Sayer asked.
"It's Andrew."
Sayer smiled.
"You can come in."
Andrew quickly turned the recorder on and walked in.
"It's nice to see you again," Sayer said as he got up.
He went up to Andrew and they shook hands.
"So what brings you here?"
"Well...you see..."
Andrew's nerves were kicking in, as he was never good under pressure.
"You know when I met Akiza for the first time? You said that I could ask you what your plans were later on."
"So you want me to tell you what they are?" Sayer asked.
Andrew nodded.
"Of course. I'll tell you everything."
Sayer went back to his office chair and Andrew sat down in a chair in front of him.
"Well, maybe not everything," Sayer thought as he tried to give Andrew a friendly smile.
"Now, where do you want to start?" Sayer asked.
"Well, for starters, what exactly happened with her and her boyfriend?"
Sayer folded his hands and thought.
"I don't know everything," Sayer said, "I know that his name is Yusei, he's from the Satellite, and he has a criminal mark. He told her lies about them not rushing their relationship and it would be equal. Although, I do question how physical their relationship was."
"So it's possible that they..."
"No," Sayer said quickly, "They both say that they are still virgins and are waiting until marriage. However, a person can still be a virgin and have a very intimate relationship."
Andrew gave Sayer a firm face.
"See, to me, it feels as though they had a good relationship, but it wasn't a very physical one."
Sayer nodded.
"Andrew, are you a virgin too?"
Andrew was baffled by the question.
"Yes sir. Why do you ask?"
"I'll tell you later."
Andrew was confused and didn't like the whole "wait and see" game Sayer was playing.
"So, how is your relationship been going with Akiza?"
Andrew tried to stay firm.
"Well, we've become good friends."
"Has she gotten over Yusei yet?"
Andrew knew he was going to have to lie.
"I think a little bit."
Sayer nodded.
"That's good," he said.
"So what does your plan have to do with me anyways?" Andrew asked.
"Well," Sayer started, "It actually goes back a ways. Do you know about "World Records?"
Andrew nodded.
"Yeah," he said almost annoyingly.
"Well, there's a record for number of duels won in a row. That record is held by two people. One of them is in this very building."
Andrew's eyes got wide.
"You mean..."
"That's right," Sayer said, "Unknown to Akiza, she holds a world record."
Andrew was in awe.
"But wait," he said quickly, "Akiza doesn't know about it! Should I tell her?"
"No," Sayer said firmly and in an upset tone.
"Why not?"
"Because, I want her to break the record first."
"Why is that? How do you even know she's tied the record and she doesn't?"
"Because, if she found out, she might feel pressured in her next duel. That might cause her to lose."
Andrew nodded.
"And I know about the record, becuase of a chip on her duel disk."
Andrew looked at the ground for a moment.
"That's the chip that Akiza's been wondering about," he thought, "And that's why Sayer had Akiza duel so many times per day."
He looked back up.
"Okay, so I know about Yusei and Akiza's record, but what do I have to do with this?"
Sayer smiled widely.
"Well, like I said before, you are helping Akiza forget her boyfriend and remember what has helped start to her control her powers."
"But Akiza..."
Andrew quickly covered his mouth.
"But Akiza?" Sayer asked.
"Nothing. I'm sorry I interrupted you sir. Please continue."
Sayer gave him a confused look.
"I can't tell him that Akiza used fake duels to get to that "record" and those duels are what helped her control her powers," Andrew thought, "I also can't tell him that Akiza doesn't need that head brace anymore, because she can control her powers with and without it."
"Anyways," Sayer continued, "Your job to to remind her what helped her when she had no place to go. What helped her forget all of the pain and the suffering she caused. I'm trying to get her to remember the Arcadia Movement. It helped her so much and it only makes sense for her and other psychic duelists to come, train, and live here."
"So, I'm basically an advertisement Akiza to stay at Arcadia," Andrew said.
Sayer nodded and Andrew got up.
"I understand now. Thank you."
He turned off the recorder.
"Wait," Sayer said.
He put a hand on Andrew's shoulder and Andrew turned around.
"You're going to become more than just an ad."
Andrew was confused as Sayer took his hand off of him.
"Andrew, do you think Akiza's attractive?"
Andrew's face turned red.
He had to admit that Akiza was very good looking and Yusei was very lucky to have her.
"Yes," he said.
"You spend a lot of time together don't you?"
Andrew nodded.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have your relationship grow?"
"Grow?" Andrew asked.
Sayer leaned in.
"I mean, a deeper relationship. Becoming more than just friends."
"So you mean boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Well, it would start like that," Sayer said.
Andrew's eyes widened.
"So you're saying we would..."
Sayer nodded.
Andrew was stunned.
"Wouldn't it be fun to have a nice, kind, beautiful woman like Akiza in your life?" Sayer asked.
Andrew shut his eyes.
"No! Yusei and Akiza should be together!" Andrew thought, "Sure Akiza is very good looking, but I don't deserve to have some as beautiful as her."
Sayer put his hand back on Andrew's shoulder and leaned forward.
"Wouldn't it fun to kiss her? Hold her? See in her in something skimpy? Like a nice, tight swimsuit?" Sayer asked, "You would get married and have kids with her."
Andrew couldn't get those thoughts out of his head.
He started to take deep breaths and Sayer smiled.
"Then, your kids will grow up, loving Arcadia too. And so on. And so on."
Andrew stopped breathing hard, but still had his eyes shut.
"Don't worry Andrew. As long as you two keep staying together, she'll be yours soon enough."
Andrew finally calmed down.
"Thank you sir."
Sayer opened the door and Andrew walked out.
Sayer then shut the door.
"Well, that takes care of that," Sayer said, "But he still doesn't know my master plan!"
Sayer chuckled evilly.
After Sayer shut the door, Andrew had opened his eyes and ran into the men's room.
He sat down in an empty stall, even though he didn't have to go to the bathroom.
Andrew took some deep breaths.
"It would be nice to be with Akiza forever and she was very good looking," Andrew thought.
Sure, Andrew had thoughts about Akiza like the ones Sayer had suggested before, but he had always brushed them off.
He knew that Yusei belonged with her.
Andrew looked at the stall door, with a firm face.
"No matter how attractive Akiza is, Yusei is her boyfriend!" Andrew said firmly.
He stood up.
"No matter what, Yusei and Akiza are a couple!" he said.
He left the restroom and headed back to Akiza's room.
A/N: Awkward ending, I know.
But Sayer hasn't told them his entire plans yet.
So, I hope you'll stay and keep on reading this story!
