Zara: Uno's Lover

"No.10" Samon smiled and walked over to Zara who just arrived at his building "I'm glad Hajime let you visit me-.. I- I mean my building... before he went to talk to the warden"

Zara chuckled "I also wanted to see you too. Not just the building"

Samon blushed "L-Let's go.. come on"

(Flashback)

"Zara! Let's go!" Uno said as he grabbed Zara's hand and ran

"Uno?! What's wrong?!" Zara asked. They were in the middle of a date when some policemen were walking by and Uno spotted them then ran for it

"This should be enough for now" Uno said as he lets Zara take a break. He quiet roughly pulled her afterall and just ranwith mo warning "Sorry... I saw some police"

"I thought you said you're clear now" Zara said as she asked in a gentle tone "You said you already stopped"

"Sorry Zara.... my sentence was going to be longer than I expected... I didn't want to be away from you" Uno said

"....just because of me?" Zara raised an eyebrow in suspicion

"Well there's also that.... game in the casino? But! I want to be with you more of course!" Uno said then heard some footsteps coming. He quickly carried Zara in his arms and started to run again

(Time skip)

"Safe at last!" Uno lied down on their couch. He looked at Zara who was putting her handbag down on the table then sitting down on the couch next to him "...I'm sorry I lied to you.. I'm sorry I just pulled you earlier too.. the police don't know I have any normal connection here, they're all asking people from casino. If they know I'm with you they'll interrogate you and might even arrest you for helping me... it was better you didn't know... I'm sorry Zara"

"Uno. Why on earth were you even gambling again? You did your best to stop for two months now" Zara said

"Just addicting. I always win. It's fun. Plus there's some prize money" Uno said as he smiled thinking about the giant teddy bear he got Zara last valentines "I can buy you stuff too.. I feel bad that you let me stay here at your apartment, cook me food, and even be a better lover. At least let me be the guy buying"

"I know you find it hard to get a real job because you're wanted but I don't want to be bought things this way" Zara said "But I do still appreciate the effort. You bought me a gigantic teddy bear, a t.v, and this very couch we're sitting on"

"All of then were from gambling" Uno admitted

"Uno" Zara scolded

"I'll stop... I don't really have much of a choice when the police are still hot on my trail. But even after this happens I'll try not too" Uno said and kneeled infront of Zara "I'm sorry"

".....*sigh*.... I'll forgive you but I want a whole peaceful day without casino talks ok?" Zara asked

"I don't talk about casino that much do I?" Uno asked

(Flasback end)

"Hello? No.10? Did you kike that popsicle flavor?" Samon asked

"O-oh... yes I do.. I just never tasted strawberried before" Zara said

"Never? That's surprising" Samon said

"My late father had convinced me that if I eat strawberries the seed would scatter and it would grow on my stomach. He made it sound so convincibg that I never knew it was a lie till Uno told me" Zara said

"He was a prankester huh" Samon said while eating his now oranged flavored popsicle

"....You're just like a kid" Zara smiled and pinched his cheeks "Adorable"

".....hmph" Samon pouted and crossed hi arms

"Thank you for everything you're doing Samon" Zara said

"I said it's fine already" Samon said as he shyly scratched his head

(Cell 13)

"Oy Uno. Want to watch anime with me?" Nico asked since Uno was still a bit sulky "This episode is going to reveal the secret!"

(Flashback)

"Oy Zara!"

"Uno? Why did you turn it off?! They were going to reveal who's the father!" Zara said since she was watching a drama series "This was it. The big reveal!"

"Didn't you told me that you had an upcoming test?" Uno asked

"..........just let me see who the father is" Zara said

Uno held up her books and placed it down on the table "You said this test is crucial. Why were you watching that drama anyway? You know you always finish it till morning"

"The father though" Zara whined and took the books

"I started gambling early" Uno said as he sat next to Zara "I soon got caught and escaped as you know. That school stuff you're doing... I had very few experience. You said you had a dream right?"

"....Yeah" Zara sighed "Stay with me till I finish studying?"

"Go on ahead" Uno said while building a card pyramid

"....You better stop gambling though" Zara said as Uno flinched

(Flashback end)

"Oy Uno. Do you want to watch anime or not?" Nico asked

".....Nah... I'll just sleep" Uno said as he lied down on Zara's futon
