"Thanks for helping me clean up, Kuroko."

"You're welcome. You owe me, big time."

"Geh! Don't blackmail me!"

There was a knock on the door and Kagami jumped, sprinting towards the door. Ayame wore a light yellow dress with a white cardigan and white sandals; her hair was up in a messy side bun.

"Y-you're here; come in."

Ayame curiously glanced around Kagami's apartment as she walked in. She smiled at Kuroko, who coolly regarded her with a nod.

"Well, I have to go now. See you, Kagami-kun."

Kagami wanted Kuroko to stay but he didn't want things to be awkward. Glancing back at Ayame, Kagami sighed.

Now was no time to be a nervous wreck.
