Chapter 3:Dirty Little Secret

Marco pov

"MARCO! YOUR PHONE IS RINGING!" Victoria yelled from the kitchen. With my curiosity peaking, I got up, and walked into the kitchen, where she was making brownies. I spot my phone charging, and picked it up. I see that its Itami who is calling me.

"Hey whats up?" I greeted. "I made Ramen! The real good shit! You should come along, and grab a bowl!" Itami declared. I looked over to Victoria, who beating up the brownie batter throughly with her whisk, "I can't leave Vixen home alone, yoi." I muttered. "Marco, come on, she's freaking 17! She can handle herself. Its not like she's totally helpless, she took kick boxing classes for peats sake! She can kick ass!" Itami added. I worriedly looked over to Victoria, who was growling about how the nutella wasn't doing her bidding, "I just can't help but worry, yoi...." I whisper. "Look, just come over, I am not wasting Ramen! And besides....Kira's here." She tempted. I froze in place upon hearing Kira's name mentioned. Excitement builded within my body, urging for me to accept..which I did. "Alright, be there soon, yoi." Itami then let out a laugh, "Yay! See ya!" And with that she hung up.

"Who was that?" Victoria asked, putting her brownie in the microwave. "Itami. She has something for me, and um...needs to talk to me about something, yoi. It's pretty important." I informed. "Oh?" Victoria pursed her lips, "How long will you be?" she asked. I shrug, "I don't really know myself, yoi. I'll know when I get there, I guess, yoi. But until then," I ruffled her hair, "don't be going and starting parties, yoi." I joked. She snorts, "As if I know how to create & plan a party while you're gone. Oh well, be good." she smirked, "And don't blame me when you miss out on some brownies." she teased. I rolled my eyes, and flicked her forehead gently, "There better be some for me when I get back, otherwise you're cleaning all of my shoes, yoi!" I called as I left.

Grabbing a jacket, I went outside, and into my car. I started it up, and eagerly drove over to Itami & Ace's place.

Kira pov

Itami grinned at me as she hung up, "Guess who's coming over~?" Itami sang. A blush appeared on my face, "W-What do I say to him?" I stammered. Itami snorted, then laughed, "I thought you two are dating now?"she asked in between laughs. My shoulders sank, "Yeah, well...I've never been in a proper relationship before!" I argued. Itami sighed, "I'm sorry, that was out of line. Anyway, Marco's a easy man, right?" she asked rhetorically. Ace nods, "Knowing him, he may play it off that he's confident, but we all really know that he's also gonna be internally anxious as well...you're his first proper girlfriend-ow!" "Don't say that! You might ruin something that they just started!" Itami hisses. I scrunch my eyebrows, "What do you mean?" I ask.

They were both nervously sitting there, staring at me like I was a portal to a new dimension. For a moment, I thought I could hear their hearts beating, but seeing that human brains aren't that developed, I immediately just brushed it off as a figure of my imagination. My suspicions grew higher as they looked at each other, trying to find a way out of this.

'Okay, they're acting super weird now. Itami only acts like this if she's...hiding something from me.'

My eyes narrowed, "You both are hiding something from me, aren't you?" I hissed. "If we tell you now, you might see Marco in a horrible, new light." Ace warns. "What are you hiding from me?!" I snapped suddenly. "Kira...Marco..isn't as good as you think he is. In the past, lets just say that...he had a lot of lady friends." Ace continued. "Stop beating around the fucking bush, and tell it to me straight." I growled, slamming both of my hands on the table.

'After everything, they are hiding something from me? Thats...thats not fair at all!'

"Kira, we're worried about you." Itami quavered, "If we tell you this, we're worried that you'll start avoiding Marco because of it. He's your saviour, and we don't wanna ruin that image of him for you." "Well we won't know until you actually tell me. Now out with it. I'm not letting either of you leave until you tell me."

But before they could answer, we heard a series of knocks at the front door. The couple looked at me, before I frown, "This doesn't mean that this conversation is going to be over right now. We're all going to talk more about this later on." I grumbled. Ace stood up, and went over to answer the door. Later, we see Ace walk in with Marco, the very man that we were just talking about. He proceeds to greet Itami, before catching my eye, and smiling. He sat down next to me, "So how was work, yoi?" he asked.

'Oh, thats not important, love. Whats more important, is what you're hiding from me.'

I put on a believable fake smile, "It was busy, but its good to be busy, including when you're a doctor, you know?" I act. "What about you? Anything interesting happen?" I ask. He pouts with thought, "No, really all I did was just hang out at the mafia clubhouse for most of my day, I did some work here & there, but thats about it, yoi." he chats.

'I'm more than interested to see what kind of "work" you do.'
