"I . . . um . . . I kinda was thinking, and we've been friends for so long . . . so I figured that maybe she might just say yes but I don't really know, because I've never really done this sorta thing but . . . . Do you think that Kyoko-chan would agree to date me?"

"Tenth . . . . ."

"I mean, if you think she would reject me just say so, 'cause I know she has all those other guys after her. Wait! Is she already dating someone else? Oh god, she is isn't she? I didn't even think about that. I'm such an idiot!"

"Tenth . . . . Wait a minute, did you just say that you were going to ask her out?"

"Well, I was but it's such a stupid idea, why would she want to be with a loser like me?"

" . . . I thought the two of you had already gotten together . . ."

"What? Really? But we haven't ever . . . She never said . . . I never asked . . . Does it really look like that?"

"Well, yeah. You're always together, holding hands and laughing and stuff, so . . . I just kinda guessed you two were trying to keep it quiet and not tell us for some reason."

"Oh . . . So you think she'll say yes?"

"She'd be a fool not to, Tenth!"

"I'm so glad! You're really good at giving advice on relationships Gokudera! It must be so easy for you and Yamamoto!"

"Thank you Tenth, hearing you say that makes me so happy . . . Wait a second! What did you say about me and that baseball freak?"

"I mean, if you're this good at giving advice, it must be really easy for you to tell Yamamoto your feelings since he's your boyfriend."

"Who ever said that I was dating that loser?"

"Bianchi told me a while ago. After she told me, it was really easy to see how close you two are. Wait, where are you going Gokudera?"

"Don't worry about me Tenth! I just have to go blow someone up real quick."
