"(Y/N)! Wake up." Someone whispered. "Mm... go away." I mumbled. "We have blueberry pancakes..." The voice said. "Pancakes?" I said sitting up immediately. Daina chuckled. "That always woke you up. Good to know you still like blueberry pancakes."

I closed my eyes and held out a hand. "Wait give me a sec." I concentrated on stringing the memory together.

Daina was flipping a pancake, a bit of batter on his cheek. He was grinning and the female was sitting on the couch. She was humming a familiar song. She was also scrolling through something on her phone. After a few seconds she put her phone on the desk.

"Daina~" she said walking over to the kitchen. "Are the pancakes ready?" She dipped her finger in the batter and ate it. "(Y/N)! You're not supposed to eat it. You could get sick!" Daina said pouting a bit.

"I'll be fine, Daina." She said laughing. "You worry too much." She ruffled his hair and placed a kiss on his cheek, making him turn red. "I love teasing you Daina. You're so adorable." she said in a sing-song voice.

Daina rolled his eyes. "It's just a tactic to get the chocolate syrup. But it won't work. It's too sugar-y. You'll end up eating less than usual."

"C'monnn." She whined. She pouted and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Daina please?" She poked his cheek. He ignored her and put blueberries in a pancake, and then flipping it. The pancakes all had the same golden brown hue.

"Alright fine. But only this one time!" He said. "Yay!" She cheered with her hands up, looking exactly like a little kid. "Thank you." You said as you went to get three plates. "Chocolate syrup!" a younger voice yelled. "Souta, wash your hands before you eat!"

"That's right, Souta. Listen to your big brother!" she told him. "You too, (Y/N)." Daina added with a smirk. "Aww, come on! I'm old enough to know that already." She said following Souta.

I couldn't help the smile that was growing on my face. "Daina?" I said looking at him. "What is it?" He asked as he straightened up and walked towards the door. "Do we have any chocolate syrup?" I asked. His eyes widened and his hand paused over the doorknob.

"Yeah. Yeah, of course we do." He said nodding. "I'll see you downstairs." He said smiling and turning. I swear I saw a tear welling up on his eye. But he left before I could see clearly. I stood up and stretched. I went to the closet and was surprised at all the clothes I had.

Maybe i'm rich? I thought. Laughing a bit, I grabbed a red T-shirt and some shorts. As I was pulling my shirt off I noticed a black key tattooed on my shoulder.

🗝

"What the...." I looked in the mirror and there it was. I tried rubbing it but it just made my skin red. Why would I get a tattoo? And why a key? Is it there to remind me of something? But then why would I tattoo it?

I shrugged it off and put my shirt on. I picked up the note from yesterday and put it on my drawer before going downstairs. Valt was snoring on the couch. It was pulled into a bed which I thought was pretty cool.

I sat down next to him. I ruffled his hair a little and he leaned into my touch. His hair was messy, since there was no gel on it. His headband was on the side table. He looked peaceful, happy.

"(Y/N)?" Daina called. "Yeah, i'm here. I was just... uh... walking." I said getting up quickly and walking towards the table. "Shouldn't we wake him up?" I asked him. "He'll wake up on his own, trust me." He said shaking his head.

We sat down. I poured chocolate syrup on my pancakes and stared eating. "It's good." I commented. "It always is." Daina said smirking. "Wow, you sure are cocky, aren't ya?" I laughed. The smell was wafting around the house.

There was a loud crash and Valt ran into the kitchen. Of corse, he went too fast and crashed into the cabinets. "Valt! Oh my God are you ok?" I asked getting up. He was lying still on the floor, arms and legs spread out. "Pancakes!" He yelled after a while, arms up in the air. He bounced from foot to foot. "Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!" he sang.

Daina, who was used to this kind of thing didn't even hesitate. "Wash your hands, Valt. Your food is on the table." He continued eating, as if nothing had happened.

"Sir, yes sir!" Valt said saluting and going to the sink. After peace was restored we continued eating. "Daina always makes the best pancakes." Valt said proudly. "Clearly." I said as I handed him a napkin. He had crumbs all around his mouth. "Oh, right. Sorry, Daina."!m Valt said wiping his mouth and eating. "It's fine." Daina said as he picked up his plate.

"You like things clean. How do you even handle him?" I asked Daina. "Patience. That's all. Valt is special. You just learn how he is and adapt. He's easy to live with. And he knows how to clean up when he needs to." He began washing the dishes and handed them to me so I could dry.

"Yeah, I see that. Is that why you like him?" I asked. "Yeah, sure, Just that one reason." he said sarcastically. Then he froze and his face started heating up. "(Y/N)... what was that?" He said glaring, the color not leaving his cheeks. "What was what?" I said innocently.

"You are so extremely lucky." He said pointing an accusing finger at me before handing the last cup to me. "Yeah, yeah. You know you love me." I said. "Mhmm. Sure." He said nonchalantly. I pouted but ignored him. "Hey (Y/N)!" Valt called.

"I'll be right back." I said walking upstairs. I entered the room, the one with beyblades and looked at Valt. "What's this?" He asked handing me a note

I'm getting impatient. You give me the beyblade or your friends are next. I'm warning you (Y/N), you don't want to anger me again.

lots of love,

Toshiro

"I'm sorry (Y/N). I read it. I don't know if it was personal or not. But why are you giving away beyblades?" He said confused. "I'm not sure... I don't think I would. This Toshiro is guy is weird." I said looking at the note again.

"Sounds like a threat to me." Daina said. I jumped, not having heard him come in. "I dunno, maybe." I shrugged. "Whatever it is. I don't really care. It's a nice day out maybe we should take a walk. Or practice." I said pulling out my bey. "I wanna practice with Empress again."

"Sure. We'll get the others to meet us there."

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"Hey guys!" I waved. Rantaro and Wakiya were bickering again. Nose to nose. Wakiya has his hands on his hips and Rantaro had his hands stuffed in the pockets of his pants.

I walked straight to Shu. "I had a dream about you. Not sure what it was about... but we looked like we were having fun." I said as I hugged him. "We were on a beach?"

"Yeah, I joined you guys that one time. You kept throwing sand balls at me." He said wrinkling his nose. "Oh, sorry." I said sheepishly. "It's ok." he said laughing.

"So I came here cuz I wanted to train. Since I probably haven't in a while." I said holding out Empress. "I'm up for a battle." He said pulling out his bey. "Spriggan!" I said, proud of myself for remembering.

"Nice beyblade. It would look lovely in my collection." a voice said. We all turned to see a male with dark messy black hair. He had a scar on the edge of his mouth. He grinned and walked towards Shu. "Wait... who are you?" I said stepping back. "Don't you remember (Y/N)? Or are you pretending for your friends? My patience has run out."

"Toshiro..?"

"Ha! So you do remember me!" He said laughing delightedly. "Not enough it seems. Or else you would be trembling from fear and would be crying right about now. What a shame."

I felt my face flush and I glared at him. "Well, I came to get my beyblade. But it seems you really don't remember. I'll give you five hours. If, by the end of those five hours, I do not have a shiny new beyblade to add to my collection I will kill one of your friends." He threatened.

He walked slowly to us. Carelessly. Anyone could hit him. But no one did. Valt was shaking, his fists trembling with anger. Shu remained silent, though his grip on Spriggan grew stronger by the second. Rantaro and Wakiya were quiet for once, and sizing Toshiro up. "Listen you brat, I don't know who you are or what you think you're doing here but you better be on your way." Rantaro said rolling up a sleeve.

Toshiro laughed at him. "I like you! I wonder what kind of scream you'll make once I beat you in a battle and rip apart your spirit?" Rantaro twitched and backed away. Wakiya grit his teeth and glared.

"Well I better be on my way. See you later, (Y/N)!" He walked away, leaving behind very tense teens.
