Alone in the barracks, Elma ask Cross to participate in a request of hers.

Gwin and Saori (The Avatar) have been together for a long while now. He hopes to take their relationship to the next level. With his birthday coming up, he just might get his chance. Smut.

Following a vivid dream, Cross wakes up to find his Team Leader with him. Although enjoying her company, his thoughts return to his dream and what it means. He tells Elma his dream and their discussion about it leads to a new unexpected info that leaves Cross in shock.

Following a failed confession to Irina, Gwin is found slumped in the corner of Regina Diner. Shortly after, Saori (Cross) and her team come to the diner to celebrate. In the moments following comes pity, then laughter and finally something the samurai gunner was not expecting.

Isn't it odd that a self-proclaimed loner has many he can call friends? A fanfic that contains short stories of Hachiman interacting with his "friends" and actually having a good time.
