Damion-

"So, you're telling me that I should ask 5pb on a date?" I asked.

"Yes, just do it better than I did with Noire originally," Uni said, giggling.

"Well, I honestly don't think it could be any worse than that," I said.

"Well, that's all I have to say, now I should follow Nepgear's example and head out. It was nice to hang out with you guys. If you ever need more advice you know where I live," she said, transforming and heading out.

"What is this I hear about asking someone on a date?" Vert asked, walking in.

"Well, while we were on the quest we got to talking and decided that I just don't recognize my own emotions and they talked with me and helped me figure out that I like 5pb, and I should ask her out. I'm just emotionally awkward, if that's even a term," I said, thinking out loud.

"So, when?"

"Well, she did ask if I could see her concert tonight, she even gave me a backstage pass. I think that will be a good time. I'm not sure, like I said I'm awkward in these kinds of situations, help?"

"Yes, I think that would be a wonderful time to ask her out, now let's go get you dressed," she said, getting up.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

"We shall teach you, Chika! I need help dressing Damion up for a concert. He's going to ask 5pb out on a date," she yelled.

"Wow, thanks for announcing it to everyone," I said.

"Oh, it's fine. Most of the staff is gone anyways."

"Oooo! You're going to look great, just change your leather jacket for a jean jacket and take the chaps off," Chika said, looking at what I was wearing and had.

"Alright," I said, revealing the shirt under my jacket to have a skull on it.

"Why the skull?"

"I like it and it matches my necklace," I said, lifting up so they could see it. It has three black skulls on it and a gold chain.

"Wow, you really had a 'Grim Reaper/God of Death' thing going on, huh?" Chika asked.

"I just thought it would be funny with my weapon."

"Why that though?" Chika asked.

"It felt like the right weapon, I don't know why."

"It's like how most of us chose our weapons, it felt right," Vert said.

"Well," I said, wearing what I was told to. "How do I look?"

"Perfect, good choice Chika," Vert said.

"Only the best advice for your brother," Chika said.

"Well, I best be off," I said, heading out. I was in the front row of the concert and I liked the songs she sang. When I got backstage I realised that I was the only person from the crowd who was back there.

"Damion," 5pb said, running up and giving me a hug.

"Hey, you sounded amazing like always," I said.

"A-are you sure? I don't know why but it was more difficult to keep in character today," she said, slightly getting down.

"Hey, it's good. I should also thank you because we now have three times as many shares just from the concert," I said.

"That's amazing," she said, smiling.

"Well, I-I was going to ask if you were free tomorrow," I said.

"Oh, um, yes I should be. Why?"

"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to go on a date," I confessed.

"Oh, um, well, I-I guess. I mean, yes," she said, seemingly getting extra nervous at the beginning.

"Alright, well, I'll pick you up at 11:30. Bye 5pb," I said.

"You know you can call me by my name when we aren't in public," she said.

"Oh yea, see you tomorrow Lyrica," I said, smiling.

"Tomorrow," she said.

I then walked home and when I went to where my room was, Vert and Chika were standing there looking at me.

"I would ask you to move however I know that isn't going to happen so ask your questions," I sighed.

"So, what did she say?" Vert asked.

"We are going to have lunch tomorrow," I said.

"Where?" Chika asked.

"Not telling you. I know that if I do you would follow us. I actually want this to go well. For once I'm actually excited about something that isn't a mission or work related," I said, snickering.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck tomorrow," Chika said. "I'll be sure to keep Vert here," she added, winking at me.

"Thanks Chika. Good to know you're here for me," I said. "Oh, I think Nepgear said something about a new outfit, don't you have some cosplays for her as well sis?"

"H-how do you know about that?"

"I have my ways," I mysteriously said. That and you have a whole closet with several boxes, bags, and outfits with Nepgear and Uni's names on them. I'm pretty sure I saw a few with Rom and Ram on them too.

"Hmpff," she pouted.

"I won't judge you, I actually think that cosplay is cool. I've thought of doing it myself," I admitted.

"Oh, I can get so many things for you," she said.

"No, I want to do it myself. Now it's late and I have a date tomorrow so I need my rest, night," I said, walking in my room and plopping on my bed. Let's just hope that everything goes well.

The next morning I woke up at nine and got dressed. I put on a black dress shirt with green buttons. I also had dark green dress pants on. I then tossed my leather jacket on and hid Reaper on the inside. I looked in the mirror and decided that it was time for me to get a haircut.

"Eh, I got time," I said, checking my watch. I went and got my hair cut. I walked to Lyrica's house and knocked on the door.

"Hello," Lyrica said, opening the door. She was in a short dark blue dress.

"You look nice," I said.

"You too, so where are we going?"

"A small cafe not too far from here. Just don't judge the outside, it's better than it looks," I said, remembering when I first went to it. "Here it is, Cafe Verde."

"It looks old, but it's what's on the inside that matters," she said, smiling at me. We walked in and saw an older gentleman and younger kid.

"Hey kid, cut your hair I see," he said.

"Yes, I see you got some help boss," I said.

"Boss?" Lyrica asked.

"It's just what people call me. So, you bought a date here?"

"Yes, this is," I said, not knowing what to tell them.

"Um, I-I'm, you can call me Lyrica," she said, telling them her real name.

"Eh, well you two can have any table you want. What do you want to drink?"

"I'll take a light brew," I said.

"I'll take the same."

"Be right up," he said, grinning.

"How did you find this place?" Lyrica asked me.

"I was walking and smelled curry. I checked it out and have come here on a couple more occasions."

"So, what makes this place so good?"

"He makes the greatest coffee you will ever have," I said.

"And the greatest curry," he added, setting our drinks down.

"That too," I laughed.

"So, will you two like some?"

"I'll take a plate of your steak curry," I said.

"Um, do you have vegetarian curry?" Lyrica asked.

"Of course, you name it I can make it," he boasted.

"Um, alright then I'll take that then," she said, trying to hide.

"It'll be done in a few moments," he said.

"Thanks," I said.

"So, I was wondering, why did you ask me out?"

"Well, you know how Uni and I are close?"

"Yeah, you mentioned that you were helping her when she was down."

"Well, we were talking about emotions and how I didn't really understand them and when we were talking she made me realise that what I felt for you was more than friendship, but love," I said.

"O-oh, u-um, I-I g-guess th-that m-makes sense," she stuttered. "W-why me?"

"That's the thing, I don't know. Just being around you makes me happy."

"Well, being around you makes me happy too," she said, smiling.

"Alright, here you two go," the boss said, setting down our plates of curry.

"Thank you," Lyrica said.

"Thanks," I said. We then sat and ate in peace and quiet. When we were both done we thanked him again and I paid for the both of us.

"You know you didn't have to do that," Lyrica said, walking around with me.

"I know, but I still did it anyway," I said with a grin.

"Even out of HDD you are still a flirt," she commented.

"I guess, I'm still sorry about that," I said, roughly remembering the accident.

"Hey, you couldn't help it, at least it wasn't primarily psycho," she said, laughing melodically.

"So, I have had a good time, how about you?"

"Yeah, it was fun to go out into public and not completely feel like I have to hide. Whenever I'm with you I feel like I'm on stage singing. I feel happy," she said. I then felt her lips on mine.

Uni-

I'm so happy. Not only have Noire and I gone on a date in the town but Damion went on a date with 5pb and he said that it went good, which I'm guessing means that they kissed.

"Hey Uni," Noire said, wrapping her arms over the back of the couch and around my neck.

"Hey Noire," I said, facing her and kissing her.

"So, why are you so happy?"

"I got a message from Damion, his date with 5pb went good apparently."

"Oh, that's news to me. I'm happy for him, especially with everything he's done for the both of us," she said.

"Same, however, if I'm correct we need to go to Planeptune," I said, remembering the meeting today.

"Yes, let's go," she agreed, offering her hand to me. I took it and we both transformed and flew out. When we landed we were greeted by Neptune.

"Heya Noire and Uni, how are the two of you?" she asked.

"We are good," Noire said.

"Where's Nepgear?"

"Oh, she's in her room. Yesterday when she got back from training with you and Damion she went into her room and it looked like she was trying not to cry," she said.

"I'm not needed for the meeting right?"

"No, go check on your friend," Noire said.

"Thanks, love you," I said, kissing her cheek.

"Love you too," she said, as I went to her room.

I knocked on her door and asked, "Nepgear?"

"W-what do you want?" she asked, it sounded like she was crying.

"It's just Uni, I want to talk to you," I said.

"It's unlocked."

"What's wrong?" I asked, going up and giving her a hug.

"Y-you know how we were talking with Damion about love and how he said what he felt for the two of us as more than just friendship but not as much as 5pb?"

"Yeah, what's that got to do with why you're upset?"

"Easy, I-I think I love him," she confessed.

"Oh, um, wow. I think my mind is like how your's was when I came to you," I said, getting her to laugh a bit. "So let me get this straight. You like Damion?"

"Yes."

"When we were talking about his feelings were you going to say something?"

"I-I think so," she said.

"So when you heard him say that his feelings for 5pb was stronger you felt sad?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I got the picture now. I don't know what to do but I'll be here for you to lean on," I said.

"Th-thanks, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you," she sobbed.

"Hey, it's alright," I said. "I'll admit that it was kinda my fault for just jumping to conclusions and not waiting for you to say anything."

"It's just, I don't think I'm allowed to love," she whispered.

"I don't agree with that, everyone can love, it could just be that he's not the one for you," I added.

"Still, this is the second time that the person I had feelings for loved someone else," she cried.

"Who was the first?"

"O-oh, u-um, i-it's just th-that they are in a serious relationship now and so I-I'd prefer n-not to t-talk about i-it," she stuttered.

"Wait, there's only two people that I know who are in a relationship. Be honest with me, Nepgear, were you in love with me?"

"Y-yes."

"I'm sorry I never noticed," I said, pulling her in closer.

"I-it's not your fault. I realised it when you were in the hospital. It's just like the world is out for me," she cried.

"Wanna know what, we are going to have a girls night out on the town. I'm also gonna invite IF and Compa," I said, taking my phone out.

"What do you mean?"

"We are going to party, safely that is. Both of our sisters just said that it was alright and IF said that Compa and herself are free tonight," I clarified, checking my phone.

"I guess you're right, it might help me get my mind off of things," she agreed.

"Good, now let's get ready," I said, dragging her to her closet.

AN-

So, what will happen now? Will Nepgear ever be allowed to love? We shall see, the next chapter might be a little shorter but I might be able to lengthen it some. I only own this here writing and nothing else. Follow and favorite. "I demand sacrifices, of pudding cups!" Neptune added. What? How did she get here? "Nepu! I've been caught. Well, see you next time!" What the, where did she go? Can someone call security!? Oh wait, this is still going.
