That night, when all the battler's are asleep, Achilles D9 sneaked out of Hiro's room and dashed out into the gardens. He knew well that the blue haired boy is going to see his friends the next day, meaning that it would be his chance. The other LBXs, especially Odin Mk2 had been very supportive and encouraging of his plan, so he was not going to mess it up. Grabbing what he needed, he hid them inside his chest plate, in places where it wouldn't bother his core box. Then he hurried back to his place on his battler's desk, stealthily as to not wake him up.

The next day was a lot of fun, as always. Hiro was insistent that they battle everyone, and before noon, he really did. And noon was the only chance he has right now.

Their battlers went out of the room for lunch, leaving the LBXs behind. But this works out for them. Odin Mk2 jumped off the table. Curious, all the other LBXs followed him.

Minerva Kai was about to too, but Achilles D9 caught her attention with a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she found him on one knee.

Without letting her react, he opened his chest plate and took out the flowers he picked the night before. Fortunately, they were still in good shape. Showing them to her, he waited.

Minerva Kai stood there shocked for a minte before tackling the other LBX in a hug. Achilles D9 didn't hesitate to return it and his eyes met with the white LBX hiding behind the other table.

Odin Mk2 nodded proudly at him and turned to the rest, giving them a thumbs up. The other LBXs clapped and jumped back up the table to congratulate the two.

"Mmm~ I'm stuffed!" Ran said, walking in.

"That's because you ate it all by yourself." Ban sweatdropped.

Hiro laughed happily, but blinked when he noticed the LBXs. "Eh? How did..."

"Hiro, something wrong?" Ban asked, turning back to him.

"It's just... I don't think I placed Achilles there." He replied, pointing at the table. Achilles D9 and Minerva Kai were standing side by side, quite close to each other. Not only that, but there was a bouquet of flowers beside them too.

"Hm?" Ran went from a confused look to a smirk. "Hiro~ Something you're not telling me~?"

"E-Eh? What do you-" His face exploded to a blush when she kissed his cheek.

She winked at him before running out of the room, Minerva Kai and the flowers in hand. Hiro touched the spot where she kissed him. Without a second thought he grabbed Achilles D9 and followed her. "Ran-san, wait for me!!"

All the while, poor Ban was left alone in the room to wonder what was going on.
