You're My Target - Pico X Keith/BF

1 - Mission

The sunrise was not that beautiful like before. It was once beautiful for Pico, he didn't know what happened. He took the bags from the baggage counter. It's 6 in the morning and everyone is busy.

"Excuse me," a stranger said, almost bumping into him. Pico luckily dodged that by stepping back.

Pico looked at the big sign hanging above the exit.

"Welcome to Philadelphia."

"Home sweet home," Pico thought.

He started walking to the exit, his luggage making a noise as it moved.

His phone started ringing. He forgot to take it off airplane mode the entire flight. He answered it, his friend Nene called.

"Pico! Remember about the bracelet, buddy. The one has the compass, you'll be carrying it. The other one is just a normal bracelet. Only that it's not normal, it's a tracking device!"

Pico scoffed. He never needed the bracelet.

He ended the call and went on with his life.

...

"No! What did I do?" The blue haired boy cried, running away from someone.

"You win against me, you're choosing death!"

"Dad, seriously. Stop doing this when I get a boyfriend," the girl flipped her hair, walking to the boy's direction. "You can stop running away now, Keith."

"Phew... Thanks, Cherry," he went out from the hiding spot.

"Anytime sweetie," Cherry said, kissing her boyfriend's forehead.

"Anyways, wanna get wasted by eating tons of ice cream?" Keith suggested excitedly.

"Uhm... Sure," Cherry agreed.

"No. My daughter has to maintain her body."

"Gosh darn," Keith replied, punching the air.

Keith and Cherry exited the house. They went in the car and decided to go for a joyride. That's what they always do -joyride. Keith started to question if they really love each other. He chooses to ignore it for a while because he noticed that it's a negative mindset. Of course they still love each other, they hold hands and say sweet stuff. Yep, that's what love is all about.

"Ah... There you are my assassin."

Pico glared, showing signs that he doesn't want to be called like that.

"Let's get to the point. Kill this boy for me. I don't care what you do, just don't make us involved by it. We have an image to maintain."

Pico nodded, putting the picture of his target in his pocket.

"Remember the code, assassin. Failing to kill your target, you die in their place."

Pico looked at him dully. Of course he knows that, he's the best assassin. He turned around and exited the room.

"Bye, Cherry. I love you," Keith said, giving her a peck on the lips.

"I love you too," she replied.

Keith waved as Cherry made her way in the house. His smile faded as she entered the house. He has to force himself to say 'I love you' to her and kiss her. He believes it's still going to work out, it's only temporary.

Pico looked at Keith from the shadows. The blue-haired boy put his hands back in his pockets and went in his car. Pico followed the car driving somewhere.

It's been troublesome since Keith stopped by a party. Usually, you get exhausted from hanging out. Not Keith though, he still wants to party. Pico wondered why Cherry's dad hated this little bag of extroverted sunshine. Pico waited inside the car. It's been 3 hours and his target finally exited the party. Keith waved happily at the host, walking to his car after. Pico started his car and focused on the target. He noticed his target frowning once he had his back turned to them.

He followed him. He was surprised that the blue-haired boy is driving in a secluded place. Pico thought that maybe he knows. He drove in a different direction. It's not a problem since he snuck a tracking device in his car.

In about 10 minutes, Pico tracked him. He climbed up to the roofs and spied on his target.

It was a nice view. A quiet place and on the other side a noisy city with big buildings. He thinks that his target has a great place for secret stuff, he gives him that.

Pico noticed tears running down from his target's eyes. He wiped them away with his hand. He sat down and hugged his knees.

"Gosh... I try so hard, yet I'm a nobody," Keith muttered.

Pico watched him have his crying moment. He's giving him time to say his last words before him ending his short life.

"Maybe I should end it all. There's only one person that would care and that's my mom."

Pico felt a sudden emotion. He was super confused by it, that doesn't happen in a long time.

"She's dead though. I could always meet her," Keith said. He heard a distant sound coming closer. "Oh, there's my ride."

Keith slowly stepped in the middle of the train tracks. He faced the train bravely.

Pico panicked, he grabbed a grenade and threw it on the train. It exploded, making the train stop and Keith fly meters away due to the explosion.

"You had it, Pico. Good job," Pico's thought said.

"Shut up. It's lame if he doesn't die because of me," Pico thought.

He jumped down and took the passed out boy away from the scene.
