Yusei yawned as he woke up to his alarm clock and to light streaming in from his apartment window. He turned to the side table and picked up his phone. To his delight, Akiza had sent him a text message. It was very tempting to check what she had sent him but he had work to do today so he resisted the urge.

After brushing his teeth and eating a quick breakfast, Yusei headed out to the garage to fix a duel runner someone had requested him to repair yesterday. It appeared that there was something wrong with the brakes.

"Yo, Yusei!" shouted a familiar voice.

Without looking up, Yusei greeted Crow with a hello.

Crow was carrying a shopping bag full of groceries and he dumped it, without much care of its contents, on Yusei's work table.

"Hmmm? What's this? Someone texted you?" Crow asked curiously and picked up Yusei's phone.

Yusei put down his wrench and said with some annoyance, "Crow, don't look at my text messages!"

Crow's eyes widened and he laughed.

"It's Akiza! I didn't know you two were so chummy together!" He cackled as Yusei stole the phone back.

He looked down at what she had sent him. Seeing her picture made her smile, as it seemed as she herself was here with him.

Crow stuck his face in front of the phone screen, then turned to look at Yusei with a devilish grin. Yusei nervously scooted away from him.

"Sooooo…" Crow drawled as he inched closer to Yusei, smirking, "When did you two become girlfriend and boyfriend? Did she confess to you? Huh, did she? Did she?"

Yusei knitted his eyebrows, frowning, said, "Back off, Crow."

He hoped that his pink cheeks wouldn't show but Crow noticed and began to hoot. This only agitated Yusei further.

Yusei threatened to bash Crow's head with a wrench if he didn't stop, so Crow calmed down and walked back over to see what Yusei was texting.

Crow is currently bothering me.

This earned a shout from Crow.

Yusei only said, "But it's true."

Crow fell silent again.

Yusei turned his head to look at his friend and said, "You wanna take a pic together so I can send it to Akiza as proof?"

Crow shrugged and said, "Why not? Maybe seeing my hot pic, she might start to like me better."

Yusei rolled his eyes.

He snapped a picture of them, with Yusei smiling naturally and Crow grinning like an idiot and giving a peace sign.

Yusei hit send and checked the time.

"Okay, thanks Crow. For getting the groceries. I need to work now, the owner of this duel runner is coming to pick it up later this evening."

Crow grinned and said, "No problem, dude. See ya later."

With a salute, he left Yusei to his work. When Crow was nowhere to be seen, Yusei texted Akiza again.

Love you.

Smiling, Yusei returned to fixing the broken duel runner.
