Double Date With Mafia [BXB]

[9] Possessive Mafia

Ivo opens the door and invites Cylo into his small house. Cylo enters, glancing around, and Ivo follows.

"Is there no one else here?" Cylo asks, looking at Ivo.

"There isn't," Ivo replies. "This is a small house where my adoptive father and I used to relax. We only come here occasionally."

Cylo nods, understanding. He surveys the house; it's minimalist and comfortable. Though the exterior is a bit worn, the interior is well-kept. There's a living room, bathroom, two bedrooms, and a kitchen—quite complete. Cylo likes it. The cool air and serene atmosphere make him feel at ease.

Ivo sits on the sofa, and Cylo joins him. They sit in silence, the memories of their family's deaths weighing heavily on them. They hug and start crying, overwhelmed by the flashbacks.

"Waah... waah..."

"Waah... waah..."

Their shared grief deepens as they cry even harder, struggling to accept the loss. Losing family is painful, especially in such a brutal way. Cylo and Ivo feel the weight of living alone now, making the sorrow even more profound.

Ivo hugs Cylo tightly. "Now I live alone. I don't know my parents or why they abandoned me. All I know is Holland, my adoptive father—no, my father. He taught me to be strong, to become the hacker I am today. But now he's gone. I live alone. Waah... waah..." Ivo sobs.

Cylo tightens his embrace, sharing in Ivo's pain. Cylo, too, doesn't know his parents; they died when he was little. Now, he's lost his older sister. He understands what Ivo feels.

They hug each other, crying to vent their sadness. After a while, they begin to calm down.

"I can't accept this, Cylo. I will never forgive them," Ivo says, looking at Cylo.

"I know," Cylo responds. "We need to calm down first. We must not dwell on this sadness. Only then can we take revenge on the Blood Mafia."

Ivo nods, and they break the hug, facing each other with a shared smile.

"You are my friend," Ivo says.

"Yeah, we are friends."

A rumbling stomach breaks the silence, reminding them they haven't eaten.

"I forgot we haven't eaten yet. I'll prepare a meal," Ivo says, standing up.

"I want to help," Cylo offers.

"Okay."

They walk to the kitchen and start cooking, opting for canned food. Once the food is ready, they eat together, feeling better with every bite. Despite their bond being unexpected, they find comfort in their growing friendship.

"Delicious. It turns out you can use that knife for cooking, not just for killing," Ivo jokes.

"Of course. You can use it if you want," Cylo replies.

Ivo shakes his head. "No, it's hard. I learned to use a knife with Holland, but I still can't do it."

"It's easy. I'll teach you later. But..."

"But what?" Ivo asks, frowning.

"You can teach me about stealing. Looks like I'll need those skills later."

"Okay."

Law looks at Ivo's photo. "Why are you so cute, Ivo? Your face is adorable, and your mouth is so beautiful it makes me want to kiss you. You should use that sexy mouth of yours..."
