And then, I couldn't even notice when we crossed the line..

"Huh?!" I said in excitement.
The crowd immediately began rushing to us, raising us above their heads.
"Y/N!! Teleport me away from here!!" Gyro cried out. "I want to see the results!" He was nervous. Johnny and I chuckled. "Honestly? I want to see them too.." Diego sounded unbothered.
The crowd was too loud, we couldn't even hear the announcement. "Welp, I'll have to do it.." I called out B2T and teleported all of the people about 100 meters away, enough to have time to see the results..

We all looked at the board where our names were written. "First place?!! LET'S GO!" Gyro yelled out. "I'm third? That's fine with me." Johnny smiled, but then was taken down on the ground by Gyro. "COULD YOU NOT DO THAT?!" I know you're happy, but you shouldn't turn it into aggression like that!!" Johnny got pissed off, tried getting Gyro off him. They were so fun, poor Johnny.

"So? Are you not going to say anything? Just ignore the results?" Diego spoke behind me. "It's quite the opposite.. I'm glad they turned out like that. It was for the best." I sighed, turning around to take a look at him. "What now? Shall we go take the money orr.. see the President?" I asked him. "Let's claim both our prizes.." Diego went to our horses and dropped both of our bags on the ground. "Hey! You there! Get these off the floor and keep them under my name, we'll get them later!" He yelled out to a staff member. It was a good idea, not making our horses overwork themselves.

He suddenly picked me up. "Wha-?!" I was surprised. He jumped on top of Silver Bullet. "When was the last time we did this?" Dio made me hold the reins, I was confused. "You can ride while I hold onto you.." He hugged me from the back. "Eh? Really? We switching the roles now." I smiled and started galloping towards the center, New York City.

"So both our prices combined makes 1 million and 250 thousand?" He sniffed my neck. "Yes, we still got more money from the places we got in the last stages. Can't really name the price.." I looked right to the ocean, it was pretty. "Wanted to ask.. Have you been with someone else while I was gone?" He questioned. I tensed up.. "Look, it's hard to explain. Is it fine if I tell you aft-" "You smell like Johnny, Y/n?" I suddenly remembered that my body stayed the same in that universe, so it still smelled like Johnny rather than the guys in the gang. "So? What were you doing?" He tightened his grip. "Nothing really.." I told him. "How close were you to him? His scent is all over you." Diego was being serious. I decided to tell him the truth. "Dio.. he is nothing but a friend to me, and you know that. I'll never love someone else but you." I started. "So? Just tell me." He was impatient. "I felt sleepy, so I slept in his bed. Then I didn't see the problem if he did so too, since it was a long day for the both of us." I told him. "I swear we didn't do anything else!" Lying to him was pointless. "I see, looking at it like that, there's really no problem.." He whispered. "I'm glad yo-" He suddenly grabbed my neck and made me look back at him. His lips engaged with mine in a violent kiss.. He tried tasting every part of my tongue and mouth, then finally let me go.

I panted, it was so sudden that I even got scared for a second. "Yeah, you two haven't kissed.. Also- you taste good." Dio spoke with satisfaction in his tone. "You're crazy.. I could have lost control of the horse." I was still processing what happened. "Lose control over the horse? You're one of the.. if not the best horse rider I've stumbled across, it's good." He moved his hands to my waist, and clutched it.

"That's my.. third best spot." Declared confidently. "What are the other two?" I got curious. "Your chest and-" "Okay enough." I sighed, making him keep it to himself.
"Bop, bop." He said, gently squeezing my chest in rhythm with the sounds he made. "What the hell are you doing.." I was weirded out, but somehow okay with it. "I'm clearly bored, Y/n." He stated in a formal British tone. "We're already there, stop doing this in public."
