Chereads / Vainglory [BL] / Chapter 3 - Staged

Chapter 3 - Staged

As soon as they entered the pizzeria next door. The shots ceased and the heavy rumbling sound of the guns faded away. Kaito got the same confused look that he always has whenever he can't solve a puzzle.

"Where are all the bad guys at?" He thought out loud.

Cappuccino proceeded to walk to a large red door. Stopping short at the handle and then turned to face Kaito. "You weren't told?" Cappuccino asked. Kaito thought for a second. "Told what?"

Cappuccino rolled his eyes. "Everything was staged, my PR team already has everything sorted out. This is good for the ratings."

"Then why did you brought me along?" Kaito responded.

"Because I think you're cute." Cappuccino shouted. Slightly blushing for a second.

Kaito, completely surprised by the reveal, said "Wait, what?!?"

Cappuccino's expression became suddenly serious. "I will not lie. I have feelings for you."

Kaito did not know how to react, so he remained silent.

"It was a joke." Cappuccino laughed.

"Haha...!" Kaito laughed too. But for whatever reason he didn't felt relieved. Instead he felt a bit, hurt. Not because he liked Cappuccino, he thought. But because he wished his girlfriend said the magic words more often.

Cappuccino responded with a nod. "Now let's get this over with."

Cappuccino knocked at the large red door. "Hello?" A voice answered.

"Hello. It's me, Alex." Cappuccino said.

The voice then responded with a sigh of annoyance. "Cappuccino?"

Cappuccino put up a confused look. "So that's your real name? Interesting." Kaito thought.

Then the door opened and a red haired young man revealed himself.

"Look, I know what you're here for. I know what you are trying to do. You have no idea what you are getting into. But if you go on with this, I will kill you."

Cappuccino took a deep breath and slowly lowered his gun. "Who are you?" He asked.

"I am James Red Thunder" The voice responded.

"Red Thunder is my handle. You've been following me for a long time. You should know."

"The Red Thunder responsible for the Equinox bombing!?" Kaito said out lout. But was ignored.

Cappuccino stepped forward and went in for a handshake. "Nice to meet you, Red."

"I'm sorry, but I can't shake your hand." Red replied. "What? How can you not shake my hand?" Cappuccino was a bit shocked.

"You'll have to come in and see it with your own eyes to believe me." Said Red. "Follow me"

Both Cappuccino and Kaito then entered the room.
