Naoka, Draken and Mikey were all at T's Workshop collaboratively working on a surprise bike for Takemichi.

The shorter blonde's eyes were practically glued to Naoka's working form, admiring the way she moved. He could clearly see how much passion she had for working on bikes, the way she was teaching Draken new tricks on how to fix things, yeah, he couldn't keep his eyes off her.

Draken looked up to give his friend the look and Mikey cleared his throat catching the dark haired girls attention.

"Red, are you coming out for new year's tomorrow?" He asked trying to play it cool as he leaned against the wall and she gave him a confused look.

"Uh, didn't you already ask me that yesterday? I said yes." She said going back to doing what she was doing and Mikey internally slapped himself.

"O- oh, right." He said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous laugh. Draken couldn't help but rolls his eyes and pinch the bridge of his nose at his hopeless friend. 'God Mikey, you have no game at all.'

Mikey has been trying to get closer to Naoka all day to hint... well, admit his feelings, however, things weren't exactly going to plan. He thought he was being obvious, but clearly not.

She had noticed his strange behaviour but brushed it off as she was trying to keep focused on Takemichi's bike. After all, they had been the ones to ask her to help them out with it, yet they seemed to be slacking off while she did all the work.

Draken knew that she was going to be too dense to get it, and knew Mikey was going to have to be straight forward. He could see Mikey struggling so he decided to make an excuse to leave, that way Mikey would probably have a better chance.

"I forgot I've got to make some calls, ill be back in a bit." He said monotoned, yet the lilac eyed girl didn't seem to notice as her attention was elsewhere. This bike had been a major bitch to work on.

And then there were two. With Draken gone, Mikey couldn't help but procrastinate as he wandered around the shop while she worked on Takemichi's bike.

"Are you okay? You've been kind of weird today?" She asked taking a second to spare him a glance.

"Hmm? Oh yeah I'm fine." He covered although he knew she was unconvinced.

"In that case, are you gonna help, or just leave it all to me?" She asked sassing a hand on her hip and looked to Mikey who was off in a daze. His gaze slowly met hers and his eyes widened.

"Right, sorry." He mumbled as he made his way over to her, but stopped when he noticed a photo of her, Shin and Wakasa which made him smile. The older Imaushi appeared to look frustrated while the other two smiled brightly as they smothered him. There was also another photo of just her and Shin and she was kissing his cheek while he had a big grin on his face. Mikey couldn't help but laugh, the sweet sound she loved catching her attention.
