There were sounds of glasses clinking together, chatter of people talking and a very crowded area. Chiaki and Yuu were in their corner like they always did whenever they would go to parties.

"Wow there's really a lot of people here." Chiaki said as he held on to his drink tightly while glancing around the room.

Yuu took a sip of his drink and nodded.

"Yep. I don't really like it honestly but I kinda have to deal with it for your sake."

Chiaki smiled at Yuu and continued looking around until he finally saw the person he was looking for. Hatori.

Yuu glanced over at Chiaki and saw that his face was already a bright red and he knew the reason for that.

Yuu saw Tori walking over towards them accompanied by someone he was unfamiliar with. The man next to Tori had brown hair that was a bit long and a smile that never erased from his face.

"Oh hello Yoshino-san, it's good to see you again." spoke the man next to Tori while offering his hand out.

"Hello, it's good to see you again Mino. Ah- Yuu, this is Mino Kanade. I think you met him a while back." Chiaki replied motioning his hand towards Yuu.

Yuu glanced over at Mino and tried to remember meeting him. They probably talked a few times but it never really mattered because all he cared about was his time with Chiaki.

"Ahh yes I remember you. Hello Yanase. It'd good to see you again. How's life?" Mino replied as he smiled over at Yuu.

"Hello... and good i guess..." he shrugged.

Tori glanced over at Yuu and ignored him being next to Chiaki.

"Yoshino, There are some other authors and editor's who'd like to meet you, I'll show you the way."

"Oh okay. Oh um sorry Yuu, I'll be back for sure." Chiaki apologized as he followed Tori.

"Great, I'm alone with someone I don't even know." Yuu thought to himself as he continued to take sips from his drink.

"You don't talk much do you?" Mino said with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"No, not really. I'm not good with parties or people. I only come here because of Chia- I mean Yoshino."

"Ahhh I see. Well until Yoshino comes back, How about I show you around?" Mino replied as he started walking but stopped when he realized Yuu wasn't following him.

Yuu looked over at Mino and shook his head no. "Thanks but no thanks. I'm good here."

"Hmm I don't think that you'd like be by yourself in a place you don't even know and besides, I've been meaning to spend some time with you."

Yuu hesitated a moment before replying. "Why the hell would you want to spend time with me? I'm not that special or anything."

Minon glaced back at Yuu. "Hmm. I think you are. Well at least I always thought so haha."

Yuu sighed, "Look if you're trying to flirt with me or something - I'm not gay and even if I was I wouldn't be interested in you."

Mino stopped smiling which was rare for him and turned to face Yuu properly. Leaning in close to his ear.

"Oh really? Are you sure you're not just saying that because you're still in love with.. Yoshino?" he whispered with a smirk on his face.

Yuu stood there in shock, unable to reply. How did this person he swore he just met knew that much about him? More importantly how does he know about his feelings for Chiaki.

Mino moved away from Yuu and smiled again. "Yep I got it right. Well I should've known better considering how you reacted when Tori came over and took Yoshino away... Hmm let's make a deal. If you go on at least one date with me- just one, then I'll stop."

Yuu managed to recover from his shock and answered Mino back. "What the- no way! I know for a fact if I say yes it sure as hell won't be just "one" date."

Mino laughed and continued speaking. "Isn't that the point? So what do you say, is it a yes?"

"I guess one date with this guy wouldn't kill me." Yuu thought to himself.

"Alright fine. But just one."

"You say that now, but it'll change. Well anyways, be ready for tomorrow morning. Oh here." Mino said as he walked away - placing something in Yuu's pocket.

In the corner of his eyes, he saw Chiaki and Tori coming back to meet him.

"Finally he's back." Yuu whispered to himself.

"Yuu! You're still here? Where's Mino?" Chiaki asked as he waved to Yuu.

Yuu waved back and replied, "Yeah I'm still here. And I don't know he left a little while ago..."

While the two stood with each other the other night, Yuu would look around to see if he could find Mino around but every time he saw him, Mino would catch his gaze and give him a little wave.

"Well I better get used to this if I'm going to be spending the next day with that guy."

Yuu stuck his hand's in his pockets and felt a piece of paper in them. He pulled it out of his pockets and saw what it was.

"Mino, Kanade.

To: Yanase, Yuu.

Here's my number in case you need to call me"

Yuu looked up to find Mino with the paper still in his hand, he met his gaze with Mino again giving him a harsh glare. Mino smiled at him and laughed at his reaction, walked away. Yuu felt his face grew red from that and he didn't know why.

"I honestly don't why I'm blushing. Isn't he always like this?" Yuu thought to himself as he tried to enjoy the rest of his time with Chiaki, the one he was supposed to be in love with.

But little did he know that the one he would love was about to change.
