Chapter 4 is here~ I don't own cardfight vanguard~

Sorry about the day off I took, it was true that it was a busy day (I moved houses!! :3) also, I was a day ahead of updates contrast to my fanfiction account •3•

"Oh I see..."

The younger replied softly as he fixed his lapis frames, actually making them straight for once.

"Ehh Aichi what happened to your hand?"

The blond gasped as he grabbed the blue haired boy's left hand within his own so that he could examine newly placed bandages.

"........ I don't want to tell you guys....."

Aichi replied softly as he removed his hand from the blond's hold and gazed towards the ground in embarrassment. The brunette guessed that nothing that he needed to be overly worried about happened because of how the blue haired boy had reacted.

"Aichi do I need to ask Emi or your mom?"

"...... Fine.... Mom was cooking pancakes on the stove and I leaned against it, since I can't feel pain I ended up getting decently burned...."

The brunette smirked at the raw embarrassment laced within the younger's voice.

"You've got to pay more attention Aichi...."

Kai sighed as he gently tapped upon the bandages hand as if to prove his point.

"It's not bad enough to go to the hospital but my mom said it's best to keep it covered so that it can heal...."

Both older teens sighed slightly at the younger's response before the blond smiled happily.

"Well at least you're fine Aichi, anyway want to come to card capital with me and Kai?"

Sapphires lit up at the mention of card capital before dulling slightly as a small frown crept upon his face.

"I would love to but, I've got to go work on some homework"

The blue haired boy replied sadly, the brunette nodded in understanding, the younger had missed quite a bit of school lately due to his many check up eye appointments.

"Need some help catching up?"

The brunette asked, he hoped that the answer would be 'yes' so that he could take the opportunity to spend time with him.

Sapphires narrowed slightly as the brunette watched the smaller boy think for a few seconds.

"No I'm fine, thanks for offering but I don't want to trouble you with my studies"

Aichi replied softly as a cute smile made its way upon his face along with a light blush. The brunette smirked as he ruffled soft blue locks, causing the smaller to duck under his hand, placing his book bag above his head.

"It's no trouble, you're smart so it won't take too long if I were to help you"

"..... Then I guess you can come over to my house and help me catch up if you want"

The smaller boy whispered softly as he gazed up into deep jades, who in return were looking back.

"Okay, I'll walk with you home then"

The brunette replied and was relieved when he saw the younger nod in agreement.

"I'll head over alone to card capital alone then"

The blond chirped, before heading away from Aichi and Kai and towards the familiar route that they all knew lead towards their favourite shop known as card capital.

"Bye Miwa"

The blue haired boy called before turning towards the brunette, the smile still gracing his lips.

The two began to walk towards the Sendou residence, however unlike the night before, both were cautious to not get too close to each other so as to not attract the wrong kind of attention to themselves.

"So Aichi, what are you behind in?"

The brunette asked a after they had walked along the people filled busy streets for a while.

"Ah my math, it's confusing seeing a lot of new formulas that I've never seen before"

The brunette nodded, it was understandable that the smaller boy had become a bit behind in his math, it wasn't like English where one could easily catch on without being taught.

"I'm sure I could help since I'm in a higher grade"

"I'd be concerned if you weren't able to help"

Jades looked down towards the smaller boy who had a small playful smirk played upon his face as sapphires sparkled with amusement.

"Aichi....."

"What? You miss a lot of school"

The smaller boy laughed lightly, as he sped up his walking pace and turned around so that he was walking backwards, facing the brunette.

"True, anyway careful you don't bump into someone"

The brunette replied, concerned that the smaller boy might accidentally fall over or bump into someone.

"I'm fine"

The younger boy hummed in response as he carefully dodged around the oncoming people, surprising the brunette.

"Hey how're you doing that?"

The smaller boy slowed his paced and turned around so that he was once again walking beside the older teen.

"I can somewhat still sense my surroundings"

The brunette nodded in response, even though he still thought that it was strange how the smaller boy was still able to do so, while his sense of pain never showed any signs of returning.

The brunette's gaze made it's way to look up into the darkening sky, guessing that soon the two of them would become drenched if they didn't reach the Sendou residence quickly, however he could already see the familiar house within his field of view.

"We made it just in time!"

Aichi called as the two arrived inside just before the first droplets of rain began falling from the grey clouds above.

"I thought you'd be at card capital hanging out with your friends"

Both teens looked over to see Shizuka looking in on them from the kitchen.

"Ah Kai offered to help me with catching up on my math"

The cyan haired mother nodded at her son happily before turning towards the brunette with a kind smile.

"Welcome back, you are welcome to stay long enough for dinner"

"Thanks, I think I may do so Shizuka"

The brunette replied as he and the smaller boy both removed their shoes, before heading up the stairs towards Aichi's room.

The blue haired boy hurried over towards the window to close it, not wanting the cool rain to soak the floor underneath.

Then he sat down on the ground, leaning against the bed as he opened his book bag and ruffled through it, trying to find his math book.

"Got it!"

The younger called as he pulled out a red textbook, some lined paper and a few pencils and erasers.

"You mean 'got them'?"

The brunette corrected, earning him a Aichi whom was now pouting childishly with his arms crossed and cheeks puffed out.

"Kai......"

The brunette smirked at the younger's whine before looking at the page that the smaller boy had opened up the textbook to.

"Sorry, anyway what don't you understand about these questions?"

The blue haired boy pursed his lip slightly before pointing towards numbers with multiple roots and exponents.

"I tried doing the symbols in the order I've always been taught but I keep getting told not to do that..."

The brunette nodded, remembering that it was a slightly tricky subject in math, especially if one was only told instead of being shown and taught.

The two spent a good while on the math before the textbook was closed by a satisfied Aichi.

"Thanks, it's a lot more easy than I thought it was...."

The brunette patted soft blue locks as he looked into sapphires.

"It's fine, it's hard to understand without being shown first"

The brunette replied as he watched the smaller boy gather up his supplies before placing them back into the book bag.

"Supper!"

Both teens smiled before getting off of the floor and heading out of the room and down the stairs, glad that they had finished just in time to enjoy grilled sashimi on a stick.

"Ah Kai's here...."

A peach haired girl said as she noticed the brunette enter the kitchen along with her brother.

"Yeah, he helped me with some math"

"I thought mom just miscounted the plates again"

Emi laughed as she began sliding her sashimi off of its stick and onto her plate with a fork.

"Well Kai has been over so often that I've grown used to counting his plate"

The cyan haired mother smiled as she sat down at the table with the others. It was true, the brunette had also grown accustomed to eating at the Sendou residence as well.

"I hope I'm no bother"

The cyan haired mother quickly shook her head with a smile at the brunette's words.

"No no, it's fun having one of Aichi's friends over, my son's so much more lively when you're around"

"Mom...."

"Well it's true Aichi"

The peach haired girl laughed.

Me: that's the end of the chapter

Kai: it's so peaceful

Aichi: shush! You might jynx it! >.<

Me: hehe who knows~

Kai: ...... True

Me: anyway hope you guys enjoyed le chappy~
