Good afternoon.

Pairing: MiwaxMisaki

Time: During season 4

Misaki felt really miserable. She missed Aichi very badly and now with the Quatre Knights in their way, it seemed to her that Aichi was at the moment unreachable. She could tell that Kai and the others were also pretty down since each of them was beaten by a member of the Quatre Knights. She also noticed that Kai was the one who had the hardest time adapting to Aichi's disappearance.

"Misaki, stop frowning, it doesn't suit you," said Miwa, smiling at her. She admired Miwa as how he always managed to be positive even in a situation like this. She knew he wanted to find Aichi as bad as she and the others, but he always tried to cheer up the mood. He was truly amazing.

"Yeah, you're right, Miwa."

"So how about we go grab some coffee? I'm sure the manager won't mind," suggested Miwa. Misaki blushed at the casual request, but soon found herself agreeing, since she really needed someone to talk to.

"Shin, I'm out for a bit. I'll be back soon."

"Call me manager!" yelled Shin at Misaki. Misaki sighed and left with Miwa as fast as she could. They didn't talk at all while walking to the coffee shop. Misaki didn't know what to say, she wanted to tell somebody her feelings so badly, but she just she wasn't able to figure out how.

"So you can tell me what's up your mind now," said Miwa, after sipping from his cup of coffee. Misaki was shocked, as how he paid always so much attention to her. She never understood why Miwa cared so deeply for her.

"I feel helpless, Miwa. I can't handle the strength the Quatre Knights have, it's too much," said Misaki, finally letting her feelings flow out of her heart. She was surprised that she was able to tell Miwa everything so easily. Misaki trusted him more than she would let herself believe.

"I know how you feel. I feel also pretty useless that I cannot help Aichi," said Miwa, clenching his fist. Miwa was as depressed as Misaki was, she realized that.

"We have to get stronger in order to reach him," said Misaki. She stated the obvious, but she had the feeling it had to be said.

"And we will," said Miwa, putting his hand on Misaki's. She looked up at him and saw his familiar smile again. The warmth of his hand made her heart race. This was something totally new to her. She had never felt like this before.

"Miwa..."

"We'll find him at any cost, together as a team," said Miwa, squeezing Misaki's hand. Misaki felt warm inside, she looked at him once again and blushed, noticing that Miwa stared at her. Misaki started to feel a tad uneasy as how Miwa pierced her with his gaze.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, not at all, Misaki," said Miwa, leaning in an pressing his forehead on hers. Misaki felt her body heat up again and pulled quickly away. She wasn't ready for this. She never thought about her feelings towards Miwa.

"What's your deal, Miwa?"

"What my deal is? That hurts my feelings," said Miwa, letting go of her hand. Misaki was confused, she didn't understand Miwa at all at times.

"I don't get you, Miwa," said Misaki, irritated more and more. Why did Miwa suddenly decide to act like this today? She wasn't able to sort out her feelings, also to the fact that she just started to think about it.

"You don't have to. Because no matter if you understand me or not, I'll always be by your side."

REVIEW

A/N I said in the previous chapter that the next one will be KaixMisaki, but I think I will do it later. It's uncertain, which pairing will be next, so you can expect any possible pairing.
