Hi! Sorry it took so long, busy with school and everything. I'll try to post some. I also have another idea for a story that I might do soon, but I'll keep the details to myself till then. Also thanks all the support so far, especially Naito Writer, its really great to see someone enjoying something I'm working on.

"I couldn't sleep a wink last night…"

It was already morning and there was no school today, but Aichi didn't really want to get up from his bed. He was exhausted, he couldn't get much sleep no matter how hard he tried. All he could do is stare up to the ceiling and think back to the two girls.

Since when did they both started to like him? Why? How? Because to his insecurities, he has a hard time believing that a girl would actually fall for him, much less two. Now with Misaki and Kourin waiting on his answer, he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want to hurt either of them, but he doesn't know a way to avoid it.

Still, if he does end up with either of them, he wonders what it would be like to be with one of two…

'Aichi?', Misaki asks him bashfully, 'I just thought that maybe we could hold hands.'

Kourin, with her hair undone, lays down next to him. "You don't mind if I lay down next to you? Just for a little bit?'

Aichi covers his face from the embarrassment. "I should probably stop imagining that."

"Image what?"

He jump in surprise and turned to the voice that turned out to be Emi.

"E-Emi! What are you doing in my room?!"

"I came here to get you out of bed, Mom is almost finished making breakfast," she nonchalantly replied. "What were you talking about before? Something perverted?"

Aichi panicked. "Eeh, it was nothing really! Nothing going on!"

Emi raised her brow. She's having a hard time believing her brother, not when he's clearly hiding something. He's been acting weird since the day before. Just what happened?

"Fine, just get up and come down stairs." Before he could respond back, she had already turned and walked out the room.

"...I don't think she believed me."

After Aichi was done changing, he walked down stairs where he could hear Emi and his mom talking.

'Emi must be helping her,' he thought.

He had nothing else to do, so he turned on the TV until breakfast was ready. Its was one of those celebrity gossip shows that Emi and Mom liked, but he found it boring. He was about to change the channel until the topic on Kourin came up.

"Good news for you Takashi Kurosawa fans! The pop idol group Ultra Rare is rumored to have him performing at their upcoming concert!"

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

'Eh? Footsteps?' Aichi didn't have anytime to react as Emi bumped him out the way to hear the news.

EMI gleefully cheered. "Seriously! Here's doing a concert here!"

"Ow…" Right, Emi is a big fan of his. He was recently debuted as an idol not long ago. Apparently he got very popular with teenage girls and, of course, with Emi and his mother.

She turned to him. "We should totally go! Maybe we could ask Kourin if- Eeerr, why are you on the floor?"

Aichi deadpanned.

"...Oh, sorry!"

"Its okay," Aichi said as he got up.

Their mom entered the room to see the commotion till she saw the news on the TV.

"Oh he's having a concert? How exciting! We should go together. We could even surprised that friend your's, Aichi," his mom suggested.

Emi's eyes sparkled. "Really?! We should really go!."

They both waited for Aichi's response. He felt hesitant, not because of going to a concert, but because of his situation with Kourin right now. It's a Ultra Rare concert and, of course, she is going to be there. He is unsure of what will become of them and agreeing to go to one of her concerts feels like the last thing he wants to do. Looking at them excited for the concert though made him cave in.

"Um, s-sure. I'd love to go," he pretended to be excited.

Their mom hummed cheerfully. "By the way, breakfast is ready! Come to the dining room."

They left the room to eat their breakfast. Mom and Emi spent their time talking while they ate, about school and shopping, while Aichi sat in silence. He poked around his food until his mother's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"Is there something wrong Aichi?"

He quickly looked up to her worried face. "Oh it's nothing really, just some stuff on my mind, that's all."

Emi looks irritated. "You know when I went to Card Capital yesterday, I heard that Misaki was acting strangely yesterday. She just quickly locked herself up in her room when she arrived. What's more, you went straight home after school, you didn't even stop by the shop.

"By any chance, do you know why Misaki is acting all weird?"

That moment popped up in his mind.

'Aichi, I like you.'

He tried his best not to get flustered, but his face still went red. "N-no, I don't have the slightest idea."

"You're lying." He was shocked by his mother's remark. "I know when you're lying to me, so there's no need to hide anything from me~."

She looked like her cheerful old self, but the way Aichi saw her, it was nothing but absolutely terrifying. He needed a way outta here.

"Um, I just remembered that I need to go do."

"Like what?"

"Something? ...Bye!"

He quickly ran out the room and out the house, leaving his mother and sister alone in the dining room.

"He's not getting out of this one when he comes back."

"Definitely."

Aichi at this point doesn't know what he is doing. He probably needed to talk it out with someone, but his family didn't feel like an option. But then who could he talk to? (Definitely not Morikawa.)

Now that he was out of the house, where can he go now? He has been nervous of going to Card Capital because Misaki would be there, of course, so he was planning on staying home. He knows that it is wrong to avoid her, but he can not look her in the eye without an answer, nor Kourin for that matter.

He sighed. "What am I doing…?"

He suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He found it a little weird since he usually doesn't get a lot of text messages from others, maybe it was his sister attempting to squeeze out more information out of him. To his surprise, it was a message from Kourin.

'Kourin: Aichi, please come and meet with me.'

A meet up with her? He would have never thought she would actually try to meet up with him so soon. Then again, she was always the straight forward type. Maybe she got too impatient waiting a response for him.

Then he got another text for her.

'Kourin: I'm also inviting Misaki as well.'

He started to feel nervous, the thought of being in the same room with them made his heart race. He couldn't decline though, it could actually be his chance to talk it out with them. He should just man up and accept.

'Aichi: Of course, I'll be there.'

Aichi wasn't sure what would happen next, but he hopes they could still be on each other's side by the end of it. Misaki and Kourin are both all too important to him, he doesn't want to lose either of them.

Misaki was waiting in the agreed spot where her and the others would meet up in a corner of a park. She was, of course, nervous of meeting Aichi after her stupid outburst that she did. After getting Kourin's message, she immediately sprinted in her casual clothes to the park without telling Shin. She was unknowingly scowling because of her nerves, scaring some of the people passing by her.

"S-so scary!"

"She looks so pissed..."

She was checking her phone for the time when she got a message from her phone.

Aichi: "I'll be there in a bit."

She furiously looked around for him. Without thinking, she looked in the reflection of the vending machine behind her, looking over herself before he comes.

"M-Misaki?"

Her eyes instantly locked on to him as she tried to compose herself. The both of them figeting from the tension between them, unable to look each other in the eye anymore.

"Aichi! Uh, good morning."

"Good morning, how are you?"

"I'm fine. You?"

"I'm good."

"Good."

"..."

"..."

'Awkward!'

As they stood side by side waiting for Kourin, they both stayed awkwardly silent. They both didn't know what to say to each other, so their minds wondered to the day before in the clubroom. That was a mistake though, seeing as how Misaki was holding on to A.

'Come on Kourin, get here already!'

Kourin was running late, they didn't know much more it would take till she gets here.

Maybe he should try some small talk to relieve the awkwardness. "Say, didn't the new booster come out today?"

"Oh yes, we got the new shipment today. It doesn't have any Royal Paladin support this time though."

"Really? That's a shame, I wanted some different cards."

"Yeah it is."

"..."

They went back to being silent.

It took a few minutes before a rather nice looking car arrived in front of them. The window pulled down revealing Kourin's face.

"Sorry I'm late, there was a problem getting here," she smiled at the two.

"It's no problem at all," Misaki reassured. Aichi nodded. They were both just relieved to get out of that situation.

"Get in, I want to take you two somewhere."

Aichi and Misaki were both confused, but they got into the car anyways.

"So where are you taking us?" Aichi questioned her.

"Oh, I think I forget to mention it."

"Mention what?"

"I'm taking us on our date."

Meanwhile…

Kai and the others were cardfighting at Card Capital just any other day when suddenly Morikawa began to scream in agony and collapsed on the floor. Everyone started crowding around him, even Kai was a little worried.

"Morikawa! Are you alright?!" Izaki yelled.

"It hurts…"

"What hurts?"

"My h-heart," he sobbed while clenching his chest with tears in his eyes.

At this point, Kai was wondering why does he even hang out with these group of people.
