"Do you mind letting go of my hand? I need to straighten out my jacket."

"Eh? Weren't you the one who said we should hold hands to further convince our fans?" Aster flashed you one of his 'charming' grins and you only grimaced in response.

"Yeah, but they aren't even here so there's no need." You harshly pulled your hand away from his and proceeded to straighten out your clothes.

"Fair enough," He sighed.

After a quick rundown on your outfit you pushed back a stray hair and finally met eyes with him again. "Alright I'm all good to go."

"Took you long enough."

"Shut it."

He then held his arm out to you, waiting for you to take it. You rolled your eyes but took it anyway and you both stepped forward and opened the doors to exit the stadium you two were currently in. And just as you expected, there was a huge crowd of fans surrounding you both. They all began screaming and cheering the moment you stepped outside.

Aster didn't hesitate to smile at his adoring fans and wave to them. You did the same and stuck close to him as you both walked to the car that was waiting upfront. You heard some cooing coming from a few of the fans as they saw you two so close to each other and tried your best not to roll your eyes again. After a minute or two you finally reached the car and went inside, all the while waving to your fans. But as soon as the car door closed, you let the facade drop.

"Ugh, glad that's over with."

"You really need to work on that smile of yours. I know you're forcing it but at least try to make it look natural."

"Easy for you to say. You've been doing this way longer than I have."

Aster smirked and sank further into his seat. "No denying that~"

You sighed and simply stared out the window. You two didn't say anything else after that which made the car trip a lot more calming after the stressful matches you two had earlier that day. You shot a quick glance at Aster again and noticed he was staring off into space. He must've been just as tired as you were.

You turned back to look out the window once more. Despite the sometimes hectic lives you two had, you were glad it wasn't as crazy as it was before. Just under a year ago you had to deal with the most crazed fans yet and it was anything but fun. Most of them were males who would continuously 'watch' you from afar and write you 'love letters' that you found it your mail box. Yes, you were creeped out but it wasn't anything you couldn't handle. But you eventually drew the line when you found a flurry of letters (all from the same person you assumed) on your kitchen counter. That meant someone literally broke into your home to leave them there....

Yeah, to hell with all that. You heightened and expanded your security after that mess.

And then there was Aster. He was a well known and highly popular pro duelist that was in the industry way longer than you've been. And there's no doubt that he's gone through situations like that too, and they were probably even worse than what you had to put up with. That said, you weren't exactly chummy with him. In fact, as your popularity increased and you began getting more and more recognition, you eventually met the pro duelist in a tournament. It was like a dream come true since at some point you admired and strived to be like him. But that first meeting was anything but smooth. He was nothing like you envisioned him to be. And instead you found yourself trying to outdo him more than anything. A rivalry was born that day.
