"Sano Manjiro, I love you, go out with me - she said!"
"Oh my god, no way! " Hina was invested.
Now, Emma was a good storyteller,the hyping up is great .
it feels like she was listening to a story she never heard before.
"Then Mikey just said - it's Mikey. "
"Woahhh is that a battle of coolness"
"Then Aoi said, go out with me, Mikey"
"That's bold!"
"Mikey smiled and said, your name?"
"And after she did he said, come to the shrine today Ao chi"
"Mikey is smooth"
"And yeah they never brought it up again"
Aoi smirked, well whatever played out was at her advantage, who cared.
Mikey to her then was just a sorcerer she needed to run the demon away.
Now though, he was a great friend.
"Don't you like Mikey anymore?" Hina asked.
"No, I still love him" she smiled.
It was meaningless, talking about guys you love? It's peak teenage wastage.
But it wasn't bad.
Cute actually.

"We're going to fight Moebius"
"Well, sure just keep Pah San in check"
"Your brains are equilivent to Kisaki I'm not worried"
"Don't give me that Mikey San"
"Can't you drop the San already"
"I haven't been taught that, my parents taught me to talk to everyone like this, it's too late to change "
"I'm... for that right?"
Aoi snapped her head looking at Mikey.
Disbelief inhabiting every inch of it.
"Mikey... how dare you call me smart?"
"Takemicchi would've realised sooner"
"What do you mean?"
"It's not a matter of brains, it's about the heart. Even cat and dog can distinguish between love and not love"
Aoi smiled softly. Probably the most genuine smile she had ever given to Mikey.
She desperately wanted to know if Mikey was angry.
Was it their last time together?
"How long have you known?"
"From the moment I saw you"
"Oh? And you kept me around?"
"You needed me"
"You'd keep any girl who needs you around?"
"No girl has never needed me"
Aoi looked back at Mikey.
She gave the biggest smile possible.
"Ne~ I love you, Mikey"
"Dropped the San!" Mikey put his hand on her shoulder.
"Oh~ what if I actually fall in love with you?"
Mikey gave a bright smile,
"Oh that you won't"
