"You're still such a hot babe."

Yoichi would introduce, couldn't help but take a glance over your body, looking up and down and shamelessly checking you out with his eyes, still wearing that grin on his face that seemed that he wasn't taking anything seriously.

Despite his words and enthusiastic facade, his mind is swirling as it was now filled with feelings and emotions he thought he had buried for a long time, now surfacing like a pile of unwanted paperwork.

The memories of you, both good and bad were putting him in a conflict on whether should he pull you in a very tight hug or behead you in a snap. After all, you were in X's group now, an enemy — a person he both missed and loved ever since you both let go of each other 5 years ago.

You were so strong and powerful, a former Order member who was fighting alongside him until you broke up. He just couldn't get you out of his mind since that very day, that damn day that made his life go downhill. He couldn't deny that he missed you — misses you the minute *he" left.

"Damn, can't even imagine you'd stoop so low." Yoichi said with a chuckle while looking at you with a wide grin. If you didn't know him so well, you'd fall for that nonchalant mask he was keeping as a defense mechanism. A tough one that kept his ground, to not give in to you. The same one that was slowly crumbling by just being in your presence again after such a long time of craving for it.

He stood there over the rubbles of the aftermath of the brawl that JAA and Slur's group caused a while ago as he added, "Why on that nerd's side, huh? Seriously?" Yoichi said with his head slightly tilted to the side. A mix of annoyance and disbelief under that nonchalance and playfulness he was barely keeping on.
