Chapter 23 is here~ I no own cardfight vanguard~

The brunette let out a sigh as soon as he arrived at his apartment, for some reason he felt extremely tired, he guessed that it was due to his unease concerning the blue haired boy.

"Yo!"

Kai jumped and spun around to see Miwa casually sitting on his couch in the living room.

"How did you get in here?"

The brunette questioned, for he remembered locking the door specifically.

"I climbed in through the window"

"....... You didn't really did you?"

"......"

"I see....."

The blond flashed a toothy grin and hooked his arms behind his head and hummed at the brunette's reaction.

"Don't worry I actually used the spare key that you left under the mat"

"..... How long have you known about its location?...."

The brunette asked, A little disterbed about the fact, the blond shrugged.

"I don't know.... maybe a few years now?"

"......... You've been sneaking into my house for years"

Kai stated, feeling quite annoyed when he remembered when things had randomly gone missing in his apartment only to appear out of no where a while later.

"Hehe...... It's not that bad...."

The blond laughed nervously as he got up from the couch and backed away.

"You've been sneaking into my house-"

"Oh I know! what about Aichi? you were just with him right?"

The blond asked swiftly, trying to change the subject so as to pacify the brunette's annoyance. However he quickly regretted the topic when he noticed the brunette frown slightly.

"Because you placed thoughts into my head I messed up and said some things without thinking first"

"Hmmm?........ Oh......."

The blond trailed off as he realized what the brunette was implying.

"Yes, it's that....."

Grey orbs blinked in surprise before avoiding contact with the brunette.

"Well isn't it good at least that your subconscious came put and helped you realize your feelings towards Aichi?......"

Miwa replied cautiously, knowing that he was treading unsettling grounds for Kai.

"Sure if you count probably creeping Aichi out and making him want to avoid me as much as possible....."

Grey orbs softened as Miwa placed a reassuring hand on the brunette's shoulder

"I doubt that Aichi thinks like that, he's not the kind of person to judge like that"

Jades narrowed in confusion before the brunette nodded as he thought about how accepting the young boy is.

"I guess your right..... But then why would he act so strangely?...."

Kai murmured half to himself.

"Maybe he's uneasy around you because he feels the same way but doesn't know? Or he could have felt really awkward about the sudden confession and didn't know how to respond?"

The blond mused as he rubbed the bottom of his chin.

"Maybe..... but he had been acting weird before I blurted out my feelings....."

"Maybe something is stopping him...."

"He didn't want to look me in the eyes and he kept basically calling himself a burden....."

Grey orbs flashed in realization.

"Oh I know!"

The brunette blinked at his friend's sudden exclamation.

"Then tell"

"Aichi has a boy of an inferiority complex! He doesn't think that he's worth all the trouble so he's trying to avoid you because he cares about you!"

Miwa chirped proudly, the brunette let out a sigh and massaged his temple.

"That's actually.... quite possible..... He's never been very adamant in things that he wants and usually lets others choose for him..... He also doesn't speak about himself much and instead listens to others...."

Kai replied after thinking for a few moments.

"Plus he used to be bullied which could also enforce the thought of him having an inferiority complex"

Miwa added, the brunette winced when he remembered how beat up the blue haired boy looked when he first met him a few years ago.

"If we're right, then how can we fix this?....."

The blond frowned and shrugged.

"I don't know, but I'm sure you'll figure something out!"

The brunette felt a twinge of annoyance at the blond's laid back attitude.

"Tch......"

"Kai"

"What?"

"You've changed"

Jades blinked in surprise at the blond's words.

"I don't think so"

Miwa shook his head and beamed.

"You have, you're actually having a long conversation about someone and talking about your feelings, I'm so proud!"

Miwa laughed before backing away a safe distance, he knew that the brunette would never hurt him, it's just a natural reaction when he's faced with the brunette's fierce glare.

"You're talking nonsense again...."

The brunette replied flatly, Miwa just smirked.

"But you once said that you liking Aichi was nonsense"

The blond laughed, flinching slightly when Kai's glare intensified.

"You're so shy and socially awkward"

The blond added.

"Miwa....."

Kai murmured as he took a step towards the blond.

"Yes?...."

Said blond questioned nervously as he took a step back.

"I have something to show you"

The brunette replied darkly as he grasped the back of the blond's shirt, carefully so as to not choke the boy as he lead him towards the front door before shoving him out the door.

"Ah I thing I went a little too far......"

The blond laughed nervously as he looked at the closed door of the brunette's apartment.

Meanwhile the brunette let out an annoyed sigh as he walked back towards the living room, running his fingers through his hair.

"Now how to fix the problem with Aichi..... I wouldn't mind it if he didn't accept my feeling, it would sting... But I at least need to get him to think that he is with the effort of caring for...."

The brunette murmured as he began to cook himself some fried rise, knowing that going without food wouldn't help him at all.

When he finished cooking, he swiftly ate the food and headed towards his room to asleep he wanted to be well rested for when he once again visited the younger boy, and hopefully get through the surprisingly thick skull of the younger. He would have never guessed that someone so smart could actually be so very stupid at times.
