“Thing One and Thing Two.”

The phrase was commonly used in Mowtown Repair Center.

Some used it to describe random items, others, inseparable pairs. For Jun and his friends, it perfectly summed up your relationship with Shadow X.

Wherever the spy cardbot went, you followed. Wherever you went, he was right behind.

Always together, moving in seemly sync.

Your fighting styles and personalities were strikingly similar, right down to your matching headbands.

Now, Shadow X didn’t mind those labels.

Sure, the label Jun and his friends gave you two was cute. But deep in his spark, he wanted more.

Friendship wasn’t enough.

Neither was being known as “Thing one and thing two” with you.

He wanted to confess, yet he’d once told you that if he ever did, it would only be a false confession—a childish joke. Now, he wasn’t sure. If he did confess…

Would you see it as a childish joke?
