Gingka - Secret Girlfriend

When Gingka and you started dating, he was insistent on not telling his friends. For the most part, he wanted to keep you away from the teasing that would ensue and the fangirls he got from participating in the world championship.

You were already close friends with Gingka since Battle Blader, as well as his other friends, so it wasn't suspicious when you were around.

And for the most part, the two of you hid your relationship pretty well. Although you did wonder when you would tell them, you figured it would be when Gingka felt confident enough to.

That is, until one day the others started acting differently around you. They would drop small compliments that could come off as flirts, but you didn't want to be the one to question it, so you accepted them.

But they didn't stop with words; occasionally they would hold your hand out of nowhere, brush your hair behind your ear, or give head pats. Once again, you tried to brush this off as them being simply friendly with you.

The group consisting of Gingka, Masamune, Yu, Tsubasa, and you was currently hanging out at your place after a tournament, reflecting on the bey fights in the living room.

"You're always so supportive of our team, showing up to our practices and cheering for us during our battles." Yu coos, squishing your cheeks together before pushing you slightly towards Masamune.

Once you're in range, Masamune pulls you closer to him, wrapping his arm around your shoulder and resting his chin on his hand with a big smile.

"Yeah, thanks for cheering me on! I'm the Number One blader after all!"

When you look towards Gingka, you offer an apologetic smile, but his jaw only tightens at the sight.

"Oh, you guys praise me too well! It was really nothing." You nervously chuckle as you unwrap Masamune's arm from your form and back away from the sofa.

You feel yourself bump into something, and when you turn to apologise, you see Tsubasa in front of you. With one hand wrapped around your wrist, he pulls you close and leans in, his face only inches away from yours.

"You've always been there for each one of us, and you aren't even our manager. However can I repay you? How about a-OW"

You watch a pillow hit the side of Tsubasa's face. The perpetrator was none other than your boyfriend.

"Gingka, that was so close to hitting my face too!", you gasp. The red-haired boy slowly approaches you before pulling you tightly against his chest.

"I'm confident with my aim. Besides, I can't let my teammates get all handsy with my girlfriend now, can I?", he says, shooting a glare at his three friends.

You expect the trio to be in shock or apologise for their forward actions.

But instead, Yu, Masamune, and Tsubasa burst into laughter.

"I told you guys he would get jealous and be the one to spill! Looks like you two owe me 10 bucks!" Masamune cheers, pumping a fist into the air.

"Wait... you three knew?", Gingka asked, flabbergasted about how they found out.

"And you made bets?", you cried, burying your face in your hands.

"I mean, it was so obvious. Gingka is a terrible liar", Tsubasa pointed out, still laughing.

He's right; Gingka Hagane is many things, but a good liar is not one of them.

His tells were as clear as day. He'd advert his gaze, he'd blush a bit, his brows would furrow, or his fingers would tremble slightly. Sometimes he'd completely ignore a question so that he wouldn't have to provide an answer.

"And we purposefully flirted with you to see if he would freak out or if Gingki would get protective. Masamune and I bet on the former", Yu explained with a smug smile on his face.

You look up at your boyfriend, whose expression is quite difficult to read. And it seems that his three friends also feel the same way.

"Hm, I can't tell if your boyfriend looks relieved that he no longer needs to keep your relationship a secret...." Tsubasa says.

"Or if he's going to kill us for coming up with the idea to flirt with you", Masamune chuckles nervously.

"Ow, come on, Gingki is a good guy!", Yu throws in. "He wouldn't hurt his friends, right Gingki?"

"Oh you are so done!", he threatened, grinning mischievously.
Gingka starts hurling pillows through the living room, smacking his friends and starting a massive pillow fight in the process.
