I splashed water on my face as I looked in the mirror. There was a small bruise on my cheek. Sayori really gave me a ride with that fight.

"I might wanna take her on one of my missions." I said to myself. I chuckled at my own thought.

I set my boxing gloves on the table and fixed my clothes. I decided to change into my black jacket since my other one was a little...burnt.

I walked upstairs into my room to grab my jacket, and to my surprise, the door was locked.

I heard two people talking in there. It sounded like... Odysseus? I gently knocked on the door.

"Odysseus are you in there?" I asked.

"Y-Yeah hold on!"

I heard Odysseus rush over to the door in a hurry and then swing it open.

"Hi Odysseus, who were you talking to?" I asked.

"N-No one..."

"What were you doing in here anyway?"

"Um....Playing checkers."

"Oddyseus...I don't think you know what that means..." I said.

"Y-Yeah I do! It's when two humans love each other very much and they touch-"

"That's enough!" I said, interrupting Odysseus.

Odysseus walked past me into the kitchen and I went into my room and grabbed my jacket.

I put it on and made sure everything looked right. I heard a light knock at the front door so I went to answer it.

I placed my hand inside of my jacket just in case it wasn't good company. I opened the door to see Drew.

"Hey, so before you decide to shoot me, me and Garrett got you some presents." He said.

I looked over his shoulder to see Khalil and Cosgrove stuggling to get a 2018 Toyota Camry and a 1990 Harley Davidson off of a flatbed truck.

"What's with the motorcycle?" I asked.

"I don't know, we thought it would fit you."

Me and Drew walked down and I helped Cosgrove and Khalil get the vehicles off the flat bed.

We put the motorcycle in the garage and the car in the driveway. I thanked them and they drove away.

"I still miss the Royce..." I said softly.

I pulled out my Beretta and counted my bullets. I had about 5 left. I placed it back in my jacket and I went back into my house.

I walked through the "doorway" which was actually a hole in the wall, into Yuri's room.

I saw her messing with the books on her bookshelf. There was a somewhat annoyed look on her face.

"Hey Yuri." I said.

I guess I startled her because she turned to me quickly, her hair flying through the air like a bird feather.

"O-Oh. Hello Spencer." Yuri said.

"What's the matter? You seem agitated." I said while I poked at her books on her book case.

"Well um...it seems that these books are all...blank." She said.

I took a book off of the shelf and to my surprise, she was right. There wasn't one page written in this book.

"Well shit..." I said.

"Yeah...it's alright though, I can just re read-"

"Well Yuri..."

"Yeah?"

"I gotta go to the bookstore to see if I can find some info on the 7 deadly sins. Would you like to join me and maybe pick out some books?" I asked.

Yuri's eyes opened really wide as she looked at me.

"Yes!" She said somewhat loud.

She covered her mouth and looked away from me embarrassed.

"I mean...I would love to go out with you....I mean..."

I laughed as Yuri got flustered and lost in her words. I grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes.

"It can be a date." I said in a smooth voice.

Yuri started to smile a little bit when I said that. She grabbed her cell phone and met me outside her room.

We held hands as me and her walked down into the driveway. She looked around a little confused.

"W-Wheres your other car Spencer?" Yuri asked.

"You mean the Royce? It um... exploded?"

Yuri let go of my hand and placed her hands my shoulders. She looked around my body, probably looking for cuts or bruises.

"A-Are you alright?!" She asked in a panicked voice.

I placed one of my hands on Yuri's face.

"I couldn't be better." I said. I gave Yuri an innocent smile but she was still concerned for me.

We walked over to the Toyota and I opened the door for her. She got in and I walked around to the driver side.

We drove out of the driveway and Yuri fiddled with her hair as she looked out the window.

I rolled into the parking lot of a library that was in Mt. Healthy. It was a somewhat nice as it was right next to a university.

Me and Yuri held hands as we walked into the store. It seemed that Yuri was now leading me where to go when we went in.

Her grip got better on my hand as she lead me to a special section of the store.

"Is there a particular book you're looking for, Yuri?" I asked.

Yuri looked back at me and noticed how hard she was holding my hand.

"O-Oh sorry...no, nothing in particular." She said.

I looked around in the aisle me and Yuri were in to see that we were in a romance book section.

"I thought you liked horror books Yuri." I said.

"Oh I do...just I liked these romantic ones too. They remind me of..."

Yuri didn't finish her sentence.

"N-Nevermind..." She said.

"Well they remind me of me and you." I said.

Yuri got flustered at me words.

"W-What do you mean...?" She said.

"The romantic aspect. It reminds me of the special moments that I have with you."

A smiled stretched across Yuri's face and she looked at me while she tried to recollect her thoughts.

"Y-You really mean that...?" She said.

"Yeah, especially when there's scenes like this in the book." I said.

I approached Yuri and grabbed her hand.

"You know those scenes right? When the main character grabs the girl by surprise and pulls her towards him like this?" I said.

I pulled Yuri close to me, our faces just inches apart.

"I-I don't have very good memory...what does the main character do after he pulls the girl close...?" Yuri asked softly.

"Well, he lays a kiss on her lips... similar to this..." I said.

Yuri parted her lips and closed her eyes. I leaned my head in and layed a kiss on Yuri's lips.

Yuri wrapped her arms around me as me and her stood there. She seemed as if she was about to pass out of embarrassment as she stood there.

I placed my hands on Yuri's hips and it seemed as if she giggled. She pulled away and grinned at me through her embarrassment.

"Maybe you could remind me of some more of those scenes?" Yuri said.

"I'd love to." I said.

Me and Yuri picked out some books that she liked, most of them being romance, horror, or even both.

She picked out a book that's about the POV of a main character of a game that seemed oddly familiar. The authors name was Jack_The_Ripper8 but that didn't really help me figure out the game.

I bought two copies of a romance book that way me and her could read it together. We went to check out and I purchased the books.

I began to walk towards the exit but Yuri grabbed my wrist.

"Hey...do you think me and you could read here for a little while?" She asked.

"Yeah, sure thing." I said.

Yuri lead me to a small table and me and her sat next to each other. We both opened our copies of our romance books and we started to read them.

Of course Yuri read a lot faster than me. Before I knew it, she was on page 15 while I was on 7.

I was halfway through a paragraph of when it introduces the "Love Interest" when I felt a soft sensation on my cheek.

I looked to my right to see Yuri grinning a little.

"Thank you for taking me here..." She said.

"D-Don't mention it..." I said.

Yuri reached her hand across the table and grabbed my hand. We both sat there for about half an hour reading our books next to each other.

And there's no other place I'd rather be.
