I knew I was forgetting something in the last chapter. I forgot to say that another couple of months had gone by. Crow and Anna decided to get together. They were keeping it a secret from their colleagues. But anyway, now you know. For this chapter we're gonna rewind a month so you can see how they got together.

Disclaimer: To say I'd like to own 5D's is an understatement. But I don't.

As they walked away form their usual "diner", burgers in hand they kept talking about how they both were. He'd ask her what she thought of meeting the gang. She'd say she enjoyed even though him and Jack were fighting through-out the night.

"I know, I know. My bad ok? Next time I'll try to not fight with Jack and keep my attention on you." She laughed.

"Somehow I doubt that'll happen. Besides, who told you that you'd get a chance to do this again?" He worried a bit but he didn't show it.

"Aren't I?" She brought her free hand up to her chin, faking thinking about the proposition. Truth be told it was one of the best nights she ever had. The bickering was entertaining and Yusei and Akiza had been lovely hosts. The twins seemed like great kids too.

"Hm... I don't know... maybe you don't deserve it." Just then his face turned from the happy form it was in, to the most serious she'd ever seen Crow.

"What?"

"Look, let's be honest Anna. I know that either Akiza or Yusei told you I like you. Maybe more than that." She went a bit more serious too.

"Yeah... Yusei was worried."

"Worried?"

"That you would be distracted at work or something and that maybe I didn't like you back."

"Well... don't you?"

"I do."

"Then could you please tell me why we haven't given this a shot?"

"Because we're too afraid to lose our friendship."

"And..."

"And... that's it. You're a great friend Crow. I'd hate to see our friendship fall apart because we just decided to rush into a relationship."

"Do you think we are rushing into a relationship?"

"No."

"So what's the problem?" She thought. And she didn't answer.

"Why can't I just grab you by the waist and kiss you senseless right now?"

"Because... there's that..."

"Thing."

"Yeah."

"That 'thing' is called sexual tension. Personally I can put that behind me. Right now all I want to hear is that you agree that we'll give this whole relationship thing a shot." She thought really hard about it. She really wanted to get with Crow. But they were great friends. Not best friends, but great nonetheless. Was she really willing to risk that?

...

In the end she decided she was ready. She pratically jumped Crow as she made her choice. He dropped his burger on the ground from the surprise of her lips on him. Soon he returned the gesture. Tenderly, their lips moved against each other, both muttering sweet words to each other between lip-locks. They pulled back for oxygen.

"Crow?"

"What?"

"Best... idea... ever." He smiled at her, she smiled at him. They kissed again.

"You owe me a burger." She giggled.

"I'll do you one better. Let's go out for a real dinner."

"Sure." She... unlocked herself from him, not letting go of his hand. He picked up the dropped burger and disposed of it in the trash. They got on his bike and drove away to the nearest open restaurant.

-ONE YEAR LATER-

"Nice move bird-boy" She pecked him on the lips.

"I thought you'd apreciate it."

"First year aniversary, the first actual restaurant we went to."

"It's a bit cliché though, isn't it?"

"You're lucky I got you cammelias instead of a bunch of red roses."

"Oh God. Stop right there." She kissed him quiet and they went inside the restaurant. They ate and talked and kissed. In the end he brought her to her place and she invited him in. He slept there for the first time that night. They stayed in late that morning and equally late in the evening.

So now you know. What did you think? I've always seen Crow as a straight-to-the-point kind of guy. Tell me if you thought it was the right thing to do, or if I should have written him differently in the review section. Also, personally I do think red roses are a cliche. Cammelias are, in my opinion, the next best thing. And, for the finish...
