Thanks again for this one. I'm prepared for cuteness. Are you?

Enjoy.

The next day rolled through. It was breakfast time and it was good that the small circle of all if you stayed intact. Miyabi was already in thought as she watched Tor and Tomoe lead the conversation.

I'm just so glad being someone's girlfriend isn't so much pressure. Only the small of us at this table know and that's fine by me. With Amber also having to talk to Tora about a few things about affection. I couldn't do it. Still don't know if I'm ready for this sort of thing but, he's just so nice and makes things comfortable.

"Hey." You look over to her.

She jumped and flinched. "Huh?"

"Sorry. Did I catch you in deep thought?"

"It's fine." Miyabi noted.

"Anything worth mentioning?" Asked Amber.

"Just weighing everything. And you Amber? I couldn't do that sort of thing that you and (FN) bet on."

"Don't bet." You chuckled.

"I can't predict the future." She replied wishing she could.

"We can't, however, if you are confident and knowledgeable of what you and the other person have, you have a solid shot."

Amber put a hand on Amber's shoulder. "Friendly agreement really. So I have to speak to Tora today and hope it turns out okay."

"You're fine Amber. I believe in you. And more than just your partner. You have qualities and if he don't see not worth your time. Or he can't step up there." You shrug your shoulders. "I'm here though."

"So what's the plan later today for training?" Asked Miyabi.

"How about shoulder training? I want to work on my swing. I can help you as well."

"Okay. Are we running again?" Pondered Miyabi.

"Think you've had enough of that. Take a rest day off laps."

"Okay Lovebug."

"What?"

Miyabi blushed. "Is it, okay?"

"Sure thing. Can I call you Mimi?"

"Yeah. That works." Wow. I was really nervous about pet names. Now I hope Lily stays away. I meant Lilith. Oh no.

That fear was quickly gotten over. Now for two more obstacles. Keeping it private which was the main one and then Amber looked two seats to her right. Her crush was eating and seeing his friends chat quietly. She was a little nervous about admitting it, though lucky for her she had much more confidence than you.

"Hey Tora?" She smiled at him.

"Yes?"

"Got time before class?"

"I got a minute."

"Hm!" His partner smirked.

"Alright. Let's talk." He took his last bite and got up from his seat. Now Amber got up in relief that she was going to be able to make her move. You watch the two of them walk off into the hallway. You turn and look as they go out of sight as Tora turns to her. "What can I do for you? This a favor or something?"

Amber put her hands together and breathed deeply. "Tora? Do you know why I applied aid to you that night?"

A question he wasn't expecting. "That's actually a good question. It didn't cross my mind. I'm still grateful for it regardless."

"Well," She blushed. "I like you. Okay?"

"Huh? You like me? Just out of curiosity, why?" He adjusted his glasses.

"Tora you're cute and you don't know it. Then your intelligence and determination. I just like it like that."

"So what are you saying?" Now Tora blushed.

"I know this isn't something you hear everyday from a girl. Don't be embarrassed but I need to know. Otherwise I have to back off a little." Amber got closer to him.

"Yes?" He found his back against the wall and Amber was close enough to smell laundry detergent on his clothes.

"Will you go out with me?" Amber inches her way closer. She really knew how to flirt. Nervous as she was Tora was trapped and needed to answer. "Be honest with me."

"I-I, never thought I would ever get asked." The smooth talking boy was all choked up.

"Pretty please sweet boy?"

"Start slow and not spread this like wildfire along with (FN) and Miyabi?"

"Okay."

"Let's try it. Hu-" Amber kissed him. She just couldn't hold it in any longer. Pushing herself against him and stealing his lips. Then seperated after a few seconds. "Wow..."

"Thanks Tiger." Smiling at him.

"I'm tranquil I guess." He replied still puzzled.

"You're cute. That's all it is. You happy?"

He thought about it out loud. "Considering I never thought a girl would ever ask me out and you are on the beautiful and cute side I would say yes. Very really."

"Yay. We can work everything as it goes along. What do you say?"

"Yeah. Thanks bright eyes. Now let's head back and tell them the news. This academy now has two couples. Not that we need to compete but I feel the warm fuzzy inside tingling that they say in movies."

"Me too. Thanks Babe. Me and you."

"Best of luck to the four of us."
