Spyando [Budo x Ayano]

Chapter 11 // Hypothetically

As I was sat down ranting to Budo he asked me to hold some little LED lights but I didn't know why. I went along with it while I complained and Budo listened.

"And now there's all this pressure to- wait have you been drawing me?"
"Is that creepy?" he asked.
"No."
"Then yes. But I can't get the eyes right." he held the pencil to his cheek.
"Come take a closer look." I smirked.
"Like this?" he put his forehead against mine and placed his hand on my face. "Is this what you wanted you evil bitch?" I leaned forward and kissed him quickly, making him red in the face.
"Now finish the drawing."
"O-Okay.."

Oh no.. I do have a crush on Budo..

"Hey Budo?"
"Mhm?"
"Hypothetically.. if I had a crush on you.."
"Mhm?"
"How would you react if I told you?" I asked. Budo put down his notepad and pencil and looked at me seriously.
"Is this really hypothetical?" he asked.
"O-Of course." I lied.
"Well then it would be complicated."
"What do you mean?"
"Well due to us being agents nothing is as simple as 'I love you!' 'I love you too' and that's it. If enemies found out we were dating it would put us at risk."
"But everyone already thinks we are." I said a little too desperately.
"True. Plus I suppose we're both at risk all the time anyway. Perhaps I'd also question the legitimacy of your feelings."
"Huh?"
"Well there's a lot of people wanting us to date. I would have to question whether it was the pressure talking or if you really loved me."
"But I do! Hypothetically speaking! Like if I really did love you, what then?"
"In which case I'd evaluate your safety."
"Ugh you're such a bummer." I groaned.
"Why? We're talking hypothetical, right? I told you, agents' love lives aren't as easy as that."
"Y-Yeah.. but your parents!"
"So how about me then? What if I had a crush on you?"
"Then I'd accept."
"Would you not worry about your safety?" he asked.
"N-No! It would make our bond stronger so.. my safety would be the last thing on my mind. You know I'd do anything for love."
"I suppose." he smiled.
"Then just shut up and love me!"
"We aren't talking hypothetically, are we?" he smirked.
"Ugh fine! I have a crush on you, okay!? Now shut up and draw. I don't want to talk about it."
"But Aya I-"
"Shush!"
"Ayano-"
"No!"
Budo sighed. "Fine."

*Beep Beep*

"Two beeps?"
"It's a call." he answered, "Yes, E?"
"We got all the info we needed from Nemesis and took her out. Thank you and Puma for bringing her here."
"Puma did more than I."
"Puma has no watch yet." she said in a monotone voice.
"Then I'll buy her one."
"Good. Is she with you? We have a special task for Puma and Pink."
"Ayayay.. yes she's here." he gave the watch to me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Tomorrow we want you and Pink to infiltrate the Yakuza and seduce the leader's son to give you a copy of their maps."
"Alright, we can do that."
"Budo isn't coming."
"I don't like this plan." Budo said angrily.
"Oh relax, she's flirting not fucking." I could imagine her eyes rolling.
"I don't care."
"It's just a mission Panther, if you're really that jealous then come to my HQ and watch."
"Fine.."
"All will be explained tomorrow Puma. See you then."
"Thank you, E."
"Goodbye.." Budo hung up the call. Why was he so angry?
"Budo are you o-"
"No. You don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. Simple." he sat back down and picked up his sketchbook. I moved over and hugged him, so after an annoyed sigh he hugged me back.
"Hugging isn't talking." I cuddled up to him.
"Hmph."
"Please don't be mad at me."
"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at E."
"You're really talented, Budo." I looked at his sketchbook.
"D-Don't go thr-" Before he could warn me I realised all the drawings were of me. "And now I seem like a creep. Look.. I just didn't have anything to do while protecting you so-"
"You're amazing Budo. Thank you." I kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you for being my muse.."
