Your POV 

Word of Free's and I little night time adventure spread like wild-fire around BC Sol. All the staff were giving me suspicious looks, all the boys looked pissed and all the girls kept on nudging me knowingly.

Soon enough, I had to give an announcement to the whole Training Hall that Free and I were dating, because everyone was occupied with this new gossip, preventing them from training.

Chris got pissed that nobody was training so she forced me to get up in front of the whole hall and admit to it while everyone looked on, whistling and cheering.

Of course sleepy boy Free was off somewhere sleeping. It's as if he's nocturnal, sleeping in the day yet getting into so much activity in the night.

I stepped down from the red stand where I had been putting the rumors to rest, meeting the angry faces of Valt and Honcho.

Did I mention that Honcho also joined BC Sol? I guess he couldn't handle being by himself back in Japan without Valt, since Daigo went to the French team, Shu went to America and Wakiya started his own team.

Honcho turned up at the auditions, but Valt had to audition as well in the qualifiers since he turned up late to Spain. Originally, me and Valt had been travelling together, but somehow Valt got lost while we were wondering around the city, looking for BC Sol. Well, at least I was looking for BC Sol.

Anyways, Valt and Honcho made it to the last round, but obviously Valt won with his ney evolved bey, Genisis Valtryek. Honcho also had a new bey as well, Beserk Roktavor. Since I didn't want to fall behind, I also evolved my bey with the help of Raul.

'(y/n), what was that all about?'

Valt's childish voice that seemed so serious right now cut through my thoughts, jolting me awake from my daydreams. I blinked and face Valt and Honcho, anger flickering on their faces as they frowned. 

'What was what about?' I asked, confused. 

'You and Free dating, of course!' yelled Honcho, startling me. 'Um, how about Shu? Please tell me you haven't forgotten about Sh(y/n). Ya know, everyone's favorite ship.'

'Oh please!' I laughed as if it was ridiculous, as if it wasn't the most painful thing in the world. 'We broke up ages ago. He's moved on with his team, and now I need to move on.'

'Phew!' sighed Valt, relieved. 'So Free's just a rebound guy? That's fine, as long as the love isn't real. The ship still sails!'

'He's not a rebound guy!' I said loudly, indignant that they were questioning our relationship. Both of them laughed and smirked, walking away purposefully.

I scoffed. Free wasn't a rebound guy. I liked him, I guess. This relationship isn't one-sided. I think. I reached in my shirt, and pulled out a long necklace. At the end of the silver chain, the most important thing to me in the world hung.

After the National Tournament had finished, I had gone to find Shu. I knew he was still bitter at the loss against Lui, even more so when Spryzen broke.

I had gathered the pieces of Spryzen, and glued half of it to the other half of my broken Xcalius without the performance tip or the forge disc. It wasn't pretty, but I was like I would carry a piece of him wherever I would go, and he would too.

I didn't know how much we would need them as we went international. Shu has the other parts of Spryzen and Xcalius in America. I wondered if he was still carrying it around. I blinked, than felt angry at myself.

I'm supposed to be dating Free. Yet here I am, missing and moping about Shu, hoping that he wouldn't forget about me when I had already forgotten about him. I did like Free.

'Right?'
