The next day had been an early morning. The sun was barely rising while Yuu's apartment was still dark inside. Yuu was still sleeping until he heard a knock on the door. Yuu struggled getting up and checked his clock which read: "5:45"

"Who the hell is knocking at this time...?" he whispered to himself.

Yuu managed to make his way towards the door and opened it. But was shocked by who he was greeted with.

"Hello Yanase! My don't you look tired." said Mino with a bright smile on his face.

"Why are you here? Do you not realize what time it is right now?" Yuu replied as he shot a glare at the man standing in front of him.

"No need to get hasty here, and besides I told you I was coming by yesterday didn't I?"

Yuu sighed and opened the door for Mino, inviting him inside.

"I remembered. If anything, I don't remember telling you where I lived..." Yuu said, closing the door behind him.

"Thank you for letting me in and it wasn't hard finding it after Hatori told me where you lived after all." replied Mino as a took a seat , making himself at home.

"Thanks a lot Tori." Yuu thought to himself as he walked over towards Mino.

"Look I don't know if you realize this or not but I'm not even ready so..."

"That's fine. And besides I think you look pretty cute right now" replied Mino as he looked down at Yuu who was currently shirtless at the moment.

"Stop saying stuff like that, it's weird. Well since you're here I might as well get ready." He said as he started leaving the room.

" Oh and another thing, I'm not cute."

Mino laughed at his reaction and waited for him to get ready.

It was finally brighter outside and the rush of people were already starting to show up. Many of them rushing to get to their jobs while others were out and about. Out on the town, Mino and Yuu left the apartment and made their way through the streets. Mino tried to hold Yuu's hand while the two walked together but was turned down each time until Yuu finally gave up on rejecting the persistent man, letting them hold hands. Of course people gave them harsh looks and concerned stares but none of those looks seemed to faze Mino one bit as he continued to hold his hand tighter, still having a bright smile on his face. After walking around a bit, they turned to a cafe that was near by.

"Oh, I've never actually been here before..." Yuu said as he let go of Mino's hand when they entered inside.

"Me either but a friend of mine at work recommended it!"

"Oh..." Yuu replied, thinking of the only person that knew Mino well enough. "Tori"

Mino glanced over at Yuu and saw his reaction to his comment.

"It wasn't Tori if that's who you're thinking of. It was someone named Kisa. He came here with a... friend of his." . Reassuring Yuu, he shot him another bright smile.

"Does this guy ever not smile?"

Soon enough, the two took a seat near a window. Each taking sips of their coffee and sharing each others interests and stories. As much as Yuu didn't want to admit it, he actually felt like he was enjoying himself. Although Yuu had fun with Chiaki something was different about this time. In a way, Yuu felt almost...loved.

"Loved? What the hell am I thinking? I've barely known this guy and besides, the one and only person I love is Chiaki." In that moment of realization Yuu had stopped laughing and took a sip of his coffee.

"Is everything alright?" Mino asked as he looked over at Yuu with a concern look.

"Yeah, it's nothing. Um, thank you for this morning, I... actually had a lot of fun." running his hands through his hair and turning his head, Yuu waited for a reply.

Mino looked at Yuu in shock but was smiling really big. "As long as you're happy than I am too. I'm glad you enjoyed my company."

After hearing those words, Yuu felt himself blushing but couldn't figure out why. He got up and paid for his share but as he was about to leave Mino called out to him.

"Yanase. How would you like to do something like this again? I'm sorry I know I said just one but-"

Yuu interrupted and answered with , "You don't have to apologize you know? I said I had fun didn't I? So what makes you think I don't want to do something like this again? Take this as a yes. Oh and please don't make me get up early again."

Smiling at Mino, he waved a good bye and started walking home.

"Another date huh? What am I thinking?'
