Noelle quickly got dressed in a simple light purple dress, silver cardigan, and shoes as she walked down the hall towards the Black Bulls common area. Asta had asked to see her and that he had a surprise for her, she had casually agreed and told him that she would have to check her 'schedule' first. But of course that was a lie, she just didn't want him to know how excited she was.

Grey and Gauche had gone on a date before she confessed to him, so maybe Asta was doing the same thing?

She quickly cleared her throat and tried to calm herself down. As she walked into the common area what awaited her wasn't...what she expected.

Asta was standing there in his usual attire, not a suit or nice clothes, but the ones he wore on any given day. He was also doing push ups.

" Oh you're here! Are you ready to go?" He asked cheerfully as he stood up, he tilted his head in confusion as he looked her up and down. " What're you all dressed up for? We're just going out to train."

Noelle's face turned bright red at his statement. They...were just going out to train? Then why did he say he had a surprise for her?! She quickly pulled her wand out and hit Asta with her Water magic.

" Hey, what was that for?!" Asta shouted in surprise as he wiped the water off his face, Noelle glared at him.

" You idiot I thought..." she paused for a minute before sighing and shaking her head. " Nevermind! Let me go change and we can go train." She muttered as she turned around and walked back down the hallway.

" Geez, what's up with her? I thought she'd like this training session." Asta muttered as he rubbed the back of his head, Captain Yami walked up to him and sighed.

" Well seeing as how she had gotten all dressed up I'm thinking she thought you two would be going out on a date." Yami said with a shake of his head, Asta turned to look at him.

" A date? You mean where you go to a fancy restaurant and eat? Like what Gauche and Grey did?" Asta asked before laughing a bit. " I'll admit that doesn't sound very fun to me."

" They can be fun if you're with the right person." Yami told him, and Asta nodded in agreement. The Captain had a point.

" Captain Yami, can I ask you something?" Asta began softly, which caused the older man to frown but he nodded. " A date...it's where you tell someone you like them, right?" Asta asked which caught him by surprise.

" You mean...?"

" Well, today, during our training session, I was going to tell Noelle that I think I like her as more than a friend. So I guess it is a date, at least in a way." Asta admitted with a nervous laugh and he rubbed the back of his head.

Yami was partially surprised, he had noticed the two growing closer and closer after their daughters went back to the future. So it was only a matter of time before one of them confessed, and it seemed like Asta was going to be the one to do it. Yami almost chuckled, he had to admit, he was proud of the brat.

Suddenly a word that Asta had said was stuck in his head.

" Wait a minute, you think you like her? What'd you mean, do you like her or not?" Yami asked with a frown, and Asta shrugged a bit.
