Your Secrets First

5: Round Two

"Dammit!" Kira exclaimed with annoyance as she paced around as her open laptop illuminated the dimly lit room, the half completed artwork waiting for attention.

"I was so close to finding out the truth." She muttered and started thinking of a new plan. Suddenly she remembered she hadn't done anything about the lunch yet. She came downstairs again to ask if Gouenji could take care of it and found him sound asleep just like she previously had.

"He's awfully sleepy today." She commented and grabbed her phone to order a pizza.

v-----v

Gouenji woke up to the sound of doorbell piercing through his ears. He wondered who could that be since they rarely ever had visitors but just then Kira came running out of nowhere, across the room and towards the door yelling, "I'll get that. I ordered pizza." Gouenji just stared at the whole scenario unfold, from the couch, befuddled.

Kira paid the delivery guy and was about to close the door when her clingy neighbor spotted her,

"Shit! Is it too late to pretend I didn't notice her?..." "Oh hi there!" She faked happiness upon seeing her.

"Easy on that pizza. You know how many calories they have?" The neighbor joked in a weird sing-song manner and then laughed at her own sentence.

In response, Kira awkwardly smiled. She had hated nosey people like her for as long as she could remember.

"I wonder how many calories your blood has.Maybe I should find out." She angrily thought and slammed the door shut.

"I hope you like extra cheese!" She chimed enthusiastically as she set the box on the little round table and went to get the plates.

"Now what fresh hell is this?" Gouenji thought as he opened the box, He seemed to find himself dealing with a new kind of mortal food about every week and while they looked all different, they made no difference when it came to their taste. They all had that same dusty flavor and while Gouenji wasn't ever expecting them to taste any different he found the task of pretending to enjoy and thoroughly take notice of the ingredients quite a hassle.

v-----v

"So get this..." Kira broke the ice as Gouenji took a bite of his extremely cheesy pizza slice, "The other day I was watching one of those science channels and they said there might be a chance that vampires really exist." She spoke casually.

Gouenji almost choked on his food and his throat suddenly felt dry. He quickly grabbed the glass of water and drank the whole glass at once, which did not help at all since water was useless to a vampire.

"Honestly, that sounds like bullshit." He calmly declared.

"I don't know, I could believe it." Kira nonchalantly responded as she took note of Gouenji's expressions and reactions with great interest.

"Hmm, I wonder if I ever met one without even realising it." She continued with slight amusement.

"What would you do if you did meet one?" Gouenji asked, his forehead visibly sweating.

"That depends. If they were out to hunt me, I would obviously run." Was her answer.

"What if they loved you?" He mumbled in a low voice.

"What?" Kira's eyes instantly darted at him.

"What?"

"What did you just say?"

"I said what if they liked you?What if they wanted to be your friend?" Gouenji covered his slip-up.

"That's a very interesting question." Kira commented but got up without answering. She deposited her plate in the kitchen sink and came back to pick up the pizza box.

"You didn't answer." Gouenji pinned her hand against the table and stopped her.

She bent down so as to level with Gouenji and stared at him with purposeful eyes, "We'll see if someone ever tells me they are a vampire." She whispered as she easily freed herself from his hold in one quick motion and walked away.
