After the tough week Yor has had with realising how scared she is for another woman to come into Loid's life and sweep him off his feet, Yor is completely drained. As she's walking back home from work, she spots the same group of ladies from her building, gossiping as they usually do. Suddenly, without taking any notice, Yor walks into a lamppost, knocking her head.

"Ouch" Yor says as she rubs her forehead.

"Oh? Good morning, Miss Forger" the taller of the two says as she spots Yor, "what's the matter? You look so blue!".

"Am I going to be tossed aside?" Yor asks quietly, "when I really think about it, it never mattered if I won that tennis match".

"What in the world?" the taller woman says as Yor walks away.

"Her husband cheated on her. I just know it" the shorter of the two whispers as she hits the woman's arm.

"Those two bags are gossiping again?" Isabelle asks from the other end of the path as she goes towards them, ready to talk to them.

Is Yor concerned about Nightfall? Not good. This would be bad for my cover, and if she just happened to mention it to her brother...

Loid says as he listens into the old ladies conversation.

--- inside Loid's brain theatre ---

"So, that's what happened" Yor says as she finishes complaining about Loid.

"That utter bastard! I'll execute him immediately!" Yuri says angrily, "I'll get the entire State Security Service on it!".

--- present day ---

I can definitely see that happening.

Loid says as he spots Isabelle, grabbing her as he pulls her into the alleyway with him.

"Let go of me, you son of a bitch!" Isabelle yells as she slaps Loid, "Loid?!".

"Nice swing" Loid says as his jaw clicks.

"I am so sorry. My fight or flight response kicked in!" Isabelle says as she looks down, "why did you grab me so suddenly?".

"Are you able to look after Anya for me tonight?" Loid asks hurriedly.

"Of course I am. But is there any reason?" Isabelle asks as the two of them walk out of the alleyway.

"I want to take Yor on a date tonight" Loid says with a smile.

"Aw, how cute!" Isabelle exclaims as the two of them walk past the two old ladies.

"Surely the man isn't cheating on his wife with the girl next door?!" the two women say as they look at each other.

"He is not!" Isabelle yells from the doorway of the apartment.

--- the next night ---

"Wah!" Anya yells as she runs around the apartment.

"Borf!".

"Anya, be careful!" Isabelle says worriedly.

"Scruffy, scruffy, scruffy!" Franky says as he holds his hands above his head, "I've got you cornered now, Bondman!".

"Curse you, King Scruff!" Anya says as she holds her toy gun out towards Franky, "Anya's gonna draw now".

"Hmm, I'll allow you to use that magical pen I invented" Franky says proudly, "oh, yeah, I even brought a frisbee for the good boy!".

"Anything for me, Franky?" Isabelle asks as she holds her hand up.

"Oh, yeah... cigs!" Franky says as he puts two packs of cigarettes into Isabelle's hand.

"Oh, Franky, you absolute gem!" Isabelle says happily.

"I am God!" Franky says as he sits down.

"So, yeah. Thanks for looking after the place" Loid says as he goes to the front door, only for Franky to launch the frisbee at the back of his head.

"No, seriously!" Franky says as he runs to Loid, "how many times do I have to tell ya I ain't no damn babysitter!?".

"I already explained this to you" Loid says as he rolls his eyes, "if I don't clear up Yor's misunderstanding involving my co-worker, it'll affect the mission".

"Well, have your damn family meeting at home!" Franky says angrily.

"It'd be hard to talk to her about these kinds of things in front of Anya" Loid says as he puts his hand on Franky's shoulder, passing him some money, "anyway, here. Split it with Isabelle".

"Don't try to solve everything with money, you damn villain!" Franky says as he grabs the money from Loid, "anyway, time to go to the park, kids! Let's enjoy!".

"Yay!" Anya says excitedly.

"Borf!".

--- in the middle of Berlint ---

"Yor" Loid says as he spots Yor who's coming back from work.

"I'm sorry. I'm late because I had to work overtime" Yor says as she walks over to Loid.

"Well, you can relax now" Loid says with a small smile.

"So, what are we doing now?" Yor asks as she and Loid start to walk together.

"I thought we could go out and enjoy some drinks" Loid says as he looks at Yor, "I know a great place".

--- at the bar ---

"Thank you for always doing the chores and taking care of Anya" Loid says as the bartender walks away from the two of them after serving their drinks, "cheers".

"Oh, cheers" Yor says as the two of them tap their glasses together.

I wonder what's going on. He seems like he wants to talk about something.

Yor says as she takes a sip of her drink.

--- inside Yor's brain theatre ---

"Thanks for everything you've done" Loid says as Fiona stands behind him, "I'll enjoy life with my new wife now".

"Good evening" Fiona says slyly.

--- present day ---

Oh, I knew it!

Yor says as she grips her glass.

"By the way, Yor..." Loid says as he puts his glass down, "about Fiona the other day-".

"Whoa!" Yor says as she slams her glass down.

"Yor?" Loid says worriedly.

"Sorry about that..." Yor says shyly.

What should I do? This is a problem. If he ends this relationship... well... this was always a marriage of convenience, anyways. I have no right to say anything about Loid's personal life. If Loid has romantic feelings for her, that means I'm no longer of use, and I should just leave.

Yor says as she looks down.

"Um..." Loid says awkwardly.

"Um, Loid..." Yor says as she starts to speak, "if this is what you want, I'd be happy to, um... uh...".

Huh? But why? My throat keeps closing up, so the words just won't come out. Is it because I want this life to continue? But you mustn't, Yor. Loid's happiness is more important than your own. You need to tell him that! Oh, alcohol! Give me strength! Open, throat!

Yor says as she downs her whole glass.

"That's not enough" Yor says as she grabs the bottle of scotch Loid got, "give me yours, too, Loid!".

"Yor! You're going to die if you drink like that!" Loid says as he puts his hand out.

"Loid, just who is that woman?" Yor asks as she slurs her words, "are you in love with her, Loid?".

"I was just about to explain all that" Loid says as he looks down.

"Oh, I see. So you were in a relationship. God damn it!" Yor yells as she leans towards Loid, "I just wanted to give you my blessings! What the hell am I even saying?".

"Please calm down, Yor" Loid says as he looks around the bar, "she's just a colleague of mine. I promise you, our relationship is nothing more than that".

Being such a hot guy must be tough.

The bartender says as he looks at Loid.

"It's fine. I know I'm a failure" Yor says as she looks down, "I'm nowhere near as pretty as Fiona".

"Have you heard a word I've said?" Loid asks as he leans down to look at Yor.

Hmm? Wait...

Loid says as he cocks his brow.

"But you said before that I was pretty, too" Yor says as she wipes her tears, "was that just a lie?".

I thought she was fearing the end of our contract because she lost faith in her abilities. Is this actually jealousy?

Loid asks as he studies Yor's body language.

"Are you already sick of me?" Yor asks as she slumps over.

Wait, does Yor actually have romantic feelings for me?! No, I am Twilight. I have had relationships with countless women for the sake of my missions. If Yor truly feels this way about me, I simply must take advantage of this! Which means... time for Operation Honey Trap.

Loid says as he nods.

"I'm sorry I've made you worry, Yor" Loid says as he holds Yor's hand, "but I want you to have faith in me. Do you hate me now?" he asks as Yor does her best to protest with the noises that replace the words she wants to say, "Yor, after spending so much time by your side, I've finally realised my truly feelings" he says as Yor starts to shake, "Yor, let's get married for-".

"Yah!" Yor screams as she kicks Loid in the chin, sending him flying off his chair as he manages to land on the other side of the bar, the whole bar clapping for the performance, "huh? What did I just do?".

I was so wrong! The force behind that kick... that wasn't from embarrassment. That was true rejection! There weren't even a hint of romantic feelings there! I got cocky! I'm so sorry!

Loid says as he starts to shake.

"Are you alright, Loid?" Yor asks as she stumbles over to Loid.

I don't understand! What was that mood of hers just now? Did she initiate to high level reverse trap to get me to initiate my honey trap? Is Yor a spy? No, calm down, Twilight. That can't be it. I can't let my guard down like that. Somehow, being with Yor throws me off...

Loid says as he passes out.

--- in Loid's dreams ---

Eight year old Loid looks over at his newly born baby sister who lies in bed next to him as their Mother sits on the end of the bed, singing them at a lullaby as she tries to make them fall asleep, despite the countless bombs going off outside the windows.

--- present day ---

Loid starts to wake up as he hears someone singing the song his Mother used to sing to him and his baby sister as he opens his eyes as sees Yor above him, realising he fell asleep with his head resting on her legs as he sits up abruptly, grabbing both the coats that were laid on top of him.

"Good morning, Loid" Yor says with a smile.

"Where am I?" Loid asks as he looks around, "how long was I out?".

"We're at a nearby park" Yor says sweetly, "the bartender said we were being too loud so he kicked us out. You were only asleep for about five minutes".

I haven't been knocked out like that since my instructor got rough with me when I first started training to be a spy! You've let your guard down way too much, Twilight! Also, why was I using her lap as a pillow?

Loid asks as he starts to think about what he missed while he was out.

"I'm very sorry, Loid" Yor says as she looks down, "of course you'd get sick of a muscle head woman like me".

"When I was little... though I can't remember their faces anymore, I loved being around my Mother and little sister more than anything" Loid says as he looks up at the night sky, "even on nights when we could have been bombed at any moment, just having my Mother and little sister by my side allowed me to sleep soundly. My Mother was strong, and my little sister was calming. Anya tells me all the time that even if she's in danger, her Mama will come to save her, so she'll be okay. The reason she's able to smile and have fun like that is because you're a safe place for her, Yor".

We agents of the state have been trying to rebuild this world through out blood, sweat, and tears. Yet she managed to accomplish that all on her own.

Loid says proudly.

"You're very strong, Yor" Loid says with a smile, "this may be rude to say to an unmarried woman, but you're already a wonderful mother".

I don't think mine is the kind of strength you're talking about...

Yor says as she looks down.

"I have absolutely no intention of replacing you in the role of her Mother" Loid says as he looks at Yor.

"But, Fiona..." Yor says as she looks at Loid.

"Even if I had ever asked her to play the role of Anya's Mother, she has absolutely no parenting skills" Loid says with a slight chuckle.

"But in my case, I had just been taking care of Yuri for so long..." Yor says as she looks away, "I just tried to do something similar, I guess".

"But that's just it, though" Loid says happily, "this is a skill you've been building up since you were little, so that makes you unparalleled. Have more confidence in yourself! I would love for you to continue being Anya's Mother. And to continue in the role as my wife".

"I humbly accept, if you'll continue to have me" Yor says as she starts to cry.

"Yor, you're going to ruin your eye makeup" Loid says as he passes Yor his handkerchief.

"Please excuse me" Yor says as she takes the handkerchief.

"Should we head home?" Loid asks as he stands up.

"Yes, we should" Yor says with a nod, "I'll make you some hot tea once we get home".

--- at the Forger apartment ---

"Mama and Papa are late. They must be shacking up somewhere" Anya says as she opens the curtains in the living room.

"Where exactly do you learn to talk like that?" Isabelle asks as she eats some popcorn.

"Mostly Becky" Anya says simply.

"I really need to talk to that girl about what she's watching at home" Isabelle says as she throws another piece of popcorn into Franky's mouth, since he fell asleep, "aha, another one!" she says as she stands up, taking the wad of cash Loid gave him from his hand, "who falls asleep after one game of tag? Amateur".

"I hope they'll be home soon" Anya says as she rests her forehead against the window.

"Hey, do you like Loid and Yor?" Isabelle asks as she sits back down on the armchair.

"I love them!" Anya says as she looks at Isabelle.

"I see" Isabelle says as she rests her head in her hand.

"We're home" Loid says as he opens the door to the apartment.

"Borf!".

"Franky!" Isabelle says as she punches Franky in the stomach, the popcorn from his mouth spilling everywhere.

"Mama and Papa are flirt..." Anya says as she runs over to Loid and Yor, noticing something is wrong.

"The hell, man?!" Franky says as he comes over in a fit of laughter, "did you try to put some moves on her and get punched?".

"No, no. It's my fault" Yor says, clearly still drunk.

"Yor, how much did you drink?" Isabelle asks as she comes over.

"Just a little" Yor says shyly.

"He's a chin monster" Anya says as she points at Loid.

"Anya!" Isabelle says as she hits Anya's hand.

"Here, have a closer look!" Franky says as he picks Anya up.

"Franky!" Isabelle says as she hits Franky's head.

"Wait, don't touch it" Loid says as Anya tries to touch his chin.

I'm actually surprised myself. Back then, I never became attached to anything but work and my brother. And yet... I really can't let this place go.

Yor says as she looks at Loid, Anya, Isabelle, Bond, and Franky.
