Uhm- hi again😭 I've recently got obsessed over Ulquiorra and- I'm reading a lot of stories abt him and it's hard to keep up on mine🥲 have fun tho<33

The dinner was done and we sat to enjoy it together. "It's really good." He praised me. "Thankss." I smiled. I always felt happy when he liked what I had made him.

We were both done eating and we just sat there on the ground near the fire in silence. "I was wondering if you ever thought about getting married." He asked. It was surprising. I didn't think he'd say that. Back in 2038 marriage wasn't a thing a lot of people did anymore. "Not really, but it would be nice I think." I tried avoiding further discussion about it. "Would you want to get married once we win this race?" He looked straight at me. I choked. I was shocked that he said that. "You okay?" He patted on my back. "Yeah, I'm fine.." I didn't know what to make of it. I guess marriage wasn't something that special back in 1890. "So?" he asked again. I didn't expect that he would ask in such a bold way. "I- I mean, if everything goes right, then why not?" I told him. "Good." He got closer and leaned towards me. He picked me up and placed me on his lap. I was facing him and my legs were on both his sides. I just couldn't deny that he was hot as fuck. "I'm in a real bad need for some affection after this long day, you know.." He whispered and smirked. "I can see. What exactly do you want?" I put my hands onto his chest and gently moved them to feel his muscular body. "Just the usual.. We could go further than that if you want.." I knew exactly where this was going. "You always want too much, but don't quite actually deserve it~" I teased him. "Damn it, I really don't. Have you done it, Y/N?." Diego asked out of the blue. I could not muster up anything.. "You want to wait till marriage? Would you do it with me even if we are not?" He grabbed me by the waist and was demanding that I answer him. I felt my skin getting hot, but my breath getting cold. "What is it?" He was confused, got almost too close to my face. "I would if you want to.." I tilted my head away from him, looked down in shame. He then cupped my face and kissed me. His tongue immediately pushed through my lips and met with mine. He knew just how to please me. He tasted really good. Then suddenly we heard someone cough behind us. "Sorry to interrupt you two, but I'll be staying with you for the night." We turned to see who it was and it was him- Hot Pants! "Why the hell are you here?" Diego sounded irritated. "As I said, I'm staying here for the night." He parked his horse next to ours. "Go somewhere else, we don't want you." Dio told him to go away. Although he didn't look like he would do any harm to us. "Don't be so mean, I don't think he would do anything bad." I tried talking to Diego. "He-? She looks too suspicious if anything. Better take precautions rather than let her stay." He disagreed. She was a woman? A trap ig. "I just ran out of matches so I can't start a fire. I saw you here and I thought you'd let me stay. I can offer you some sandwiches I made." Hot pants said. I looked at Diego. He nodded kind of annoyed. "You can stay then. Just don't try to do anything stupid." I let her stay. #WomenSupportWomen 🥰.  She gave us sandwiches and proceeded to set her tent up.
She sat on the other side of the fire. It was kind of awkward since she saw us- "I didn't think that you both actually had something going on between you two. It's rare to see that the media had some actual true news for once." Yeah, she brought it up.. "Why do you even ca-" "We've been trying to hide it and keep it secret, but it was too obvious." I cut of Diego and answered her. "I see.. it's surprising to see two completely different people get together so well, I hope at least." She said while eating her sandwich. I didn't know what to make of it. "I don't think that we are that different from each oth-" "Me and Y/N will now sleep, goodbye." Diego grabbed me by the hand and dragged me with him into the tent.

"What's up with you? I was just talking to her goddamn." I was a little upset. "She invaded our privacy and ruined my fun. I want you to talk only to me.." He gave me a kiss. "Selfish too much, aren't you?" I chuckled. "I really am when it comes to you. Sometimes I just want to have you all for myself." He gave me yet another little kiss on my lips. "You already do though. I'm all yours, really!" I loved teasing him. "Oh, reeally?" He leaned in and kissed me. I knew that he wanted to continue from where we stopped. But, it just wasn't the right time to do that. "Look, I understand that you really want to have some fun time with me again, but just not now since there's another person with us and she might hear us." I pulled away and said quietly. "..Okay." He agreed. "But next time you won't get away for sure." He ran his hand along my chest to my thigh and lightly squeezed it. That sudden action made me let out a little sigh, goosebumps over my body. "Oh? What was that just now?" Of course he noticed. "You really do enjoy my touch, don't you?" He asked while caressing my cheek. "Hmm, yeah. What about you though?" I fondled his neck and then slid my hand to his chest, feeling his nipple. He grabbed my hand. "Fuck Y/N- you should stop before I get any other urges we don't want right now." I may have gone too far, although he looked like he enjoyed it. "Next time you try to play with me like that, don't expect me not to do the same, you know." I smiled. "Didn't know you are good at this." He tightened his grip on me. "We should sleep.. We have to wake up early tomorrow and it's already really late." I told him, closing my eyes. Then, he didn't say anything, but placed his chin on top of my head. And after just some minutes, I was asleep.

Hot Pants's pov:
Next day
I woke up in the freezing cold morning. I hated the weather and wished it would be warm again. Italy was so much better.
I sat up and stretched. I immediately checked to see if the arm and spine from my bag were missing. They were there, luckily. I knew for a fact that both Y/N and Dio were stand users. It's weird that they didn't find them nor did they suspect a thing. It was awkward that I walked in on them.. So strange that they are actually together.. bizarre you could say. I thought Y/N was into girls, really. By the way Johnny and Gyro described her..
I went out of my tent and saw that they were already gone...

Diego's pov:

We were getting into a big city. We didn't plan to do anything there, but just pass by and sign some autographs since we were ahead of everyone else...
I was feeling great since the day wasn't that cold and it was rather sunny. "Damn, why did Hot Pants have to ruin everything.." I was annoyed by her visit. "At least tonight no one will bother us~" I was having some sweet thoughts. "Diego.. Is something bothering you? You look distracted." Y/N got my attention. "It's nothing you should worry about, just thinking about yesterday." I said in a playful tone. "Oh.. you should think about it later, they want to interview us." She sounded serious. I guess she didn't get what I meant.
"Good morning! It's a coincidence seeing you here, and we are really looking forward to interviewing you both!" One journalist came to us. "Yeah sure, we too." Y/N said. "It's settled then. Follow us." The journalist signed for us to go with his team.
They sat us in a nicely decorated cafe with a garden. They gave us drinks and it was a great start.

"It's so nice that you two agreed on this! Aren't you busy racing?" He asked. "We had some spare time, so we came by to get in touch with all of the people here." Y/N answered. "Spare time?? Then you must be ahead of everyone else? That's impressive! And yes, everyone is really excited about your visit here." He exclaimed. Another person was sitting next to him and writing everything down. "Well, could you tell us about your routine? And about how many miles you run per day?" The journalist questioned. "We usually get up at 7 to 7:30 in the morning. We eat breakfast, clean our horses and set off for the day. When the sun goes down, we call it a day and set up our camp." Y/N smiled. "We do about 70 miles per day." I answered. "What do you usually eat?" He asked us. "It's always different. Although, I really like her cooking." I decided to answer this one too. "Wow, that's a bold statement. Now onto what all the fans really want to know.. Are our favorite racers actually.. together?" He said dramatically. "No." "Yes." We said simultaneously. I looked at her confused. "Woah, wait. What does thi-" "She meant to say yes. We are together." I told him. There was no point in hiding it. "That's some great news! Congratulations! Even if.. it was quite obvious! The picture of you too really gave it away!" He laughed. I didn't get what he was saying. "A picture..?" Y/N sounded lost as well. "You don't know? Yesterday a picture of you eating together was given to us. It's a surprise that you haven't heard yet. Everyone has gone crazy about it!" He told us. "..Could you show it?" I requested. "Yeah, just give me a second." He turned back and called out for someone. Then a man carrying a photo came. He gave it to the interviewer and he placed it on the table. "That's it." He showed us. We took a look of it and immediately recognized it. It was at that bakery. The moment when she was sitting on and feeding me. It was, indeed, too suspicious. "So you have anything to say about that?" He asked. I got annoyed. "What do you expect us to say? It's weird that everyone cares that much about our personal life and relationships." I was pissed off, by both the reporter asking trash questions and the baker for invading our privacy like that and selling it off for the media to have. I felt Y/N's hand on mine, calming me down. "Sir I-" "He wanted to say that he feels uncomfortable with it, but doesn't mind being open about our relationship." Y/N told him. "Oh.. That's right. Thank you.."

They continued the interview for about another ten minutes but then we had to go. "Thank you for your time!" They thanked us. We didn't want to risk getting behind everyone else.
"Those interviews are a little stressing actually.." Y/N and me were exiting the city. "Yeah, they really are." I agreed with her. After that we didn't talk a lot, but instead focused on going forward.

Few hours later
The day was nearing its end and I had to plan where we were going to camp. I really wanted to sleep at some house or hotel. Camping out in the freezing cold weather wasn't in my best interest. I slowed down and opened my map. All the places where we could stay at were marked.
There was just one marked point in our area. It was just some kilometers away a little up a hill. I put back the map in my bag. Y/N came closer to me. "So did you find something near us?" She asked. "Yes.. It's just up that hill over there. It must be a house." I pointed to where we were going...

Hope you enjoy <3
