Hello!

Pairing: KaixAichi (Kaichi!)

Time: Between Season 1 and 2

"Hey, what are you guys up to?" asked Aichi as he entered Card Capital after an exhausting day at his junior high. He was looking forward to play some Vanguard and to see his friends especially his idol, Kai. He was a little disappointed that Miwa was present, but Kai wasn't.

"Hey, Aichi, want to battle your master?" asked Morikawa and everybody sweat dropped. After all this time he hasn't changed his Grade 3 units, not even in the slightest.

"Are you serious, Morikawa? He'll beat you like every time you battle," said Miwa. Morikawa just started angrily yell at Miwa how he dares to tell him something like that. Miwa just sat down and gave up, this was even too much for him to handle.

"What is this all about?"

Aichi's face immediately lid up as he recognized Kai's voice. He turned around and gave him a big smile. Aichi couldn't quite explain it, but he always had that strange feeling inside of him whenever he was in the presence of Kai.

"Morikawa is just being silly again and challenging Aichi to a game of Vanguard," said Misaki, who said the first full sentence, since Aichi's arrival.

"Hey, who do you call silly?!" yelled furiously Morikawa. Misaki just shot him a dreadful glare and he shut up. Misaki was really terrifying at times like this. After that the rest of the afternoon went like usual. Morikawa was beaten by Aichi and everybody enjoyed a good time, even Kai, though he would never admit it. Miwa just took the job to translate his behaviour to the others.

"Wow, we played this long?" said Aichi as he checked the time. He also noticed that the others have already left. He sighed. This always happened when he fought against Kai. He totally lost track of time and the surroundings. What was this?

"I suppose. We should probably also leave," said Kai. Aichi looked a bit shocked, since Kai never acted this casual before. This was a first for sure. But Aichi noticed that it was pretty windy outside and he forgot his jacket home. How could he actually think, he could survive this weather with just his school uniform. As he and Kai left Card Capital he started to shake.

"Great, now what shall I do? I'll freeze before I get home," thought Aichi as he tried to warm himself up a little bit. But his heart almost stopped when he felt pressure on his back. Did that just really happen?

Kai gave him his jacket.

"Kai, I..."

"Just take it. You'll get sick if you don't. Now go already," said Kai. Aichi looked up at his face and could swear that he caught a glimpse of a smile. Before Aichi could say anything more, Kai turned around and left with his white shirt fluttering while he walked.

"Thank you very much, Kai!"

Kai didn't respond, but just raised his arm to show that he heard him very well. Aichi cuddled into Kai's jacket and made his way home, enjoying the warmth that spread through his body.

He finally realized what this odd feeling was.

It was love.
