Ahh he's so adorable in his sleep~
Is that creepy?

"Aya, are you just gonna watch me sleep or would you care to join me?" he smirked at me with his eyes still closed.
"Oh.. you're awake.. I now feel awkward as hell."
"It's fine, I think you're cute." he continued to talk in his raspy night voice with his eyes closed.
"Shut it." I rolled my eyes. "You witnessed me brutally murder someone. I'm not cute."
"Still cute. Now go to sleep." he finally opened his eyes and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards him.
"Good night." I got into bed next to him but saved some space between us and looked away from him. He moved right up against my back and wrapped his arms around me.
"Good night."
"Budo what are you-"
"Shh."
"But-"
"Shhhh."
"Fine but-"
"Shh."

"Ayano we're home!" my mother burst into my room. "Oh, you have a visitor!" she saw Budo spooning me.
"Is he awake?"
"I don't think so."
"Hold on.." I moved my arm around and tickled him, waking him instantly.
"Hey!" he got ontop of me and pinned me down.
"Ahem." my mom reminded us of her presence.
"Oh uh hello ma'am.." Budo sat up.
"She's my mom not the queen, dummy."
"I'm just trying to be polite." he got off of me. "Now uh.. that must've looked pretty.. hm.. promiscuous, right?"
"Just a tad."
"We're just.. We.." I thought.
"We're work partners and school friends." he smiled awkwardly.
"Close friends?" my mother smirked.
"Bye mom!" I tried to shoo her away.
"Okay I think we got off on the wrong foot." my mom closed the door and entered again. "Hello young man! Nice to meet you! I'm Ryoba, Ayano's mom." she held out a hand.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Budo Masuta - Ayano's friend and work partner." he kissed her hand.
"Oh such a gent."
"Oh brother." I rolled my eyes. "I'm going for a shower."

I left the room and went to the bathroom, where I had a quick shower. I dried off my hair with a towel and wrapped one around me. My hair had 'beach waves' due to it being wet. I re-entered my room to see Budo and my mom casually chatting and laughing. I ran my hands through my hair instinctively to get it out of my face which grabbed the attention of them both.

"Whatcha talking about?" I asked.
"Budo sweetie your nose is bleeding!" my mom noticed.

I took the towel from around my neck and threw it at Budo. He wiped his nose and laughed a little.

"Thanks."
"Do you get nosebleeds a lot?" my mom put her hand on Budo's shoulder. For some reason it really pissed me off. I pulled up my towel a bit around the chest area and sat down close to Budo.
"Uh recently yes.." he looked at me, blushing profusely.
"Maybe you should get that checked out." I put my hand on his arm with a smirk.
"Uh y-yeah."
"My eyes are up here." I whispered so my mom couldn't hear, then signalled for her to leave.
"I-I have to look down. It stops nosebleeds.."
"Well it was nice meeting you Budo. Have fun kids~" my mom finally left, closing the door behind her."
"Hmph."
"What's all this about?" he wiped his nose one final time and moved the towel away.
"What?" I asked.
"You weren't jealous because I was talking to your mom, were you?"
"N-No." I lied.
"You were.. why? I was just trying to make a better impression."
"Why does it matter what my parents think of you?"
"Because I like yo-" he blurted out.
"Huh?"

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"Duty calls!" he got up and changed. I changed in the bathroom and we put on our sunglasses, ready to leave.
"We're going to work, bye!" I opened the door.
"Have fu- wait why do you need sungl-"

I closed the door behind us and we got on Budo's motorcycle.

"What's it today?" I asked.
"Yakuza. Our hacker, Agent Emo found the location of the hostages."
"I heard that Panther. Call me Emo again and I'll beat your ass." a voice came from his watch.
"Sorry E. love ya." he laughed.
"If you weren't such a good agent I would have shot you by now."
"Me and E have a special friendship." he smiled.
"Fuck you."
"Very special."
"Shut up and do your job bitch boi. I'm out."
"What does E stand for?" I asked.
"Classified, sorry." he answered.

We pulled up to a location flooded with agents and got out our guns.

"Stay behind me."
"Why? I can handle myself." I said stubbornly.
"Yeah but I can't."
"What do you- ohh.."
"If I bleed much more you'll give me a concussion." he laughed a bit.

We all surrounded the area and E took down their communications. I took the lead despite Budo insisting otherwise because apparently I had "feminine appeal." Mhmm. Probably just the other agents being pussies.

"Hello boys~" I played with my hair.
"Ma'am, how may we help you?" a member kissed my hand.
"Well I was wondering if for a certain price I could take some of the-" I looked at the van which was being loaded with victims, "-goods.. off of your hands." I smirked.
"Ah well I can definitely help you with that.. may I ask how you found us, ma'am?"
"I'm associated with one of your members, "Let's just say he owed me and we became business partners~"
"Well hows about we discuss the deal over some coffee, hm?"
"Oh I can think of something much more exciting." I whispered to him.

Next thing I knew Budo used his gun to knock the guy out and the rest were taken out and handcuffed.

"Sorry, got a little jealous heh."
"Shocker! We all know you like her~"
"Pink.." he growled.
"Pantherrr~" she smirked.
"Pink.. Panther.. Who's she?" I asked.
"She's my old partner. We didn't.. click very much. Panther is too mature whereas Pink is bubbly and enthusiastic. Plus our duo name was copyrighted sooo.."
"Oh. I like Spyando better. Just sayin." I kissed him on the cheek.
"You're gonna be the death of me." he sighed, "But I ain't mad about it."
"Should we be doing something?" I asked.
"Your sex appeal has already been exploited. We're done here." he put his arm around me. "Let's go."
