As a result, the concert turned out to be excellent as well as the money that they had received. While Zac was still giving his dear fangirl floating dreamy kisses, Orochi gave Amber a lift. Until Zac realized that he was one step late, they had gone nearly home and left him all alone.

On their way home, they chatted a lot because it's years since they last met. They all talked about their pastimes, food, free-time activities, etc... but most important was Amber's alterations.

"It surely is that your way of behaving did change a lot."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, remember when we first met?"

"Yes, but did it have any relation to our conversation?"

"You know. Back then, you were just a silent, lifeless, lazy little girl but now, you 've turned into the opposite one of yours."

"I'm pretty sure that I'm not that lifeless but for laziness of mine. Hum... I have admitted that I was really unactive."

"Pffft! Now you notice? Whenever I tried to play with you, you just like "Ugh... give me a break! Can't you see that I'm drinking coke here?" I can assure you that."

"Hey, that's not funny at all. How can you be so normal saying those words?"

"Because it's the truth and truth is painful, as always."

"You cruel friend."

"Oh! Is the smol walking ginger mad at me?"

"La la la! I'm not hearing anything!"

Orochi's POV:

Ginger sure did change much, compared to her old self. Back then, she was quite an insolent, lazy, and adult-like one but now, she became so gorgeous yet childish that I couldn't imagine. And I just happened to be fond of teasing her.

The wavy female might be very angry at me right now. But I'm sure you have to admit that she's really cute whenever she's mad.

"..."

"Hey, don't be that harsh. I'm just kidding!"

"..."

As I started to be annoyed by her childishness, I crouched down and took her slender hand.

Chu~

I gave it a kiss, you could say that it was an apology for my behavior. But when I looked up at her face, she turned hard red. Ginger rarely let herself out of control, especially her emotion.

I barely saw her smiling and laughing when we were young. She just kept that cold face and said all bitter words but now, I'd rather her be more like this. She made me feel young and passionate just like when we first shared our passion for beyblading.

No one's POV:

It wasn't that long until they got home. As we all know that Orochi had himself a stunning place to live but instead of that, he decided to stay at Amber's house like, forever but that still depended on him.

"If I'm not wrong, you do have a home yourself, don't you?"

"Why yes but wouldn't you like your best friend to live with you for a couple of days?"

"No no, I mean I'm really glad to meet you after all those years but my mother told me not to get too much close to a boy. You know her, she's harsh and strict all the time."

"But she did give me permission to live with you. As a matter of fact, I sold that house and moved here while Zac and you were talking after the concert."

"Wait what? How did you? Ah?"

Orochi then gave out his phone, showing the texts which he had sent them to Amber's mother earlier.

Hello, Mrs. Satoshi

Oh my, is it you Orochi?

Yes

How have you been? Have you met my daughter yet?

Why yes, of course but can I ask you a favor?

Go ahead, dear

Can I stay with Amber, at her house?

You are always welcome! Come and stay there freely

Remind her to treat you well

Thanks, I'm glad that you agree.

Have a good night, Mrs. Satoshi

The same to you, dear

"What the?"

How cute!~♡

"I can't believe that people sold me out that easily, especially my friends and family."

"They can't sell you."

"Why?"

"Because you're my precious treasure."

Having heard all those dreamy words, Amber suddenly blushed hard, squatting down as she hid her face under her hands and she internally screaming.

"Pffft! Hahahahahaha!!!"

"What's so funny?!"

"You should see your face right now!"

Ignoring all those words, she quickly ran into her house and tried to leave Orochi outside but she failed. He caught her hand, giving her a devilish smile that made her blush even worse than ever.

After all the teasing that the male had made up, they could finally rest. It was almost 11:00 PM and tomorrow Amber would go to school so she did everything as fast as she could to go to bed early but not for Orochi.

"Ah! I forgot to tell you about a wonderful self I've met at school."

"Who's that 'amazing' one?"

"Well, maybe you knew him before me..."

"If so, then tell me."

"It's Shu Kurenai!"

"... Shu Kurenai?"

"Yeah! At first, I didn't notice him but I, by chance, became his classmate."

"He's quite famous to the girls, as well as the boys. So what makes him interested?"

"Um, let me see... She is an attractive, smart, and a meant-to-be genius. But he also looks very cute and he has a great sense of humor, too."

"Is that so?"

"Welp, there's more but that is just what I've known about him recently and I'm glad to befriend him!!"

"..."

"Orochi?"

"..."

"Hey man! I'm asking you."

"..."

"SNAP OUT OF IT!!!"

"Huh? Hah?"

"What's wrong with you? You're just happened to be paralyzed."

"Ah, I'm extremely sorry about that. It's just that..."

"What?"

"I'm afraid that he will replace me and become your new best friend..."

For a moment there, the two buddies were so quiet until Amber couldn't help laughing. Orochi was like:

"Pfffftt!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!"

"What's so funny about it?"

"Hahah! Everything!! You sound just like me a while ago!!! Hahahahaha!"

"Hey, I'm being serious about this! No kidding!"

"So do I."

"Hah... so..."

"So what?"

"Can we sleep now? I'm gonna have school tomorrow, you know."

"Sleep first. Don't mind me."

As Amber fell into her own sleep, Orochi could easily gave out a sigh. He looked at her so affectionately, reminded him of all those beautiful memories that they'd made up as he began to feel asleep.
