The sniper penguin, what a strange name for a darts and billiards club…
Yet this quickly became Ren`s go-to place to hang around with his friends whenever they had the time to clear their minds and relax, after all, being the infamous phantom thieves puts a lot of pressure on them from the general public, the criminals they fight and the police all at the same time.
Still, it's something they do because no one else will, and they have saved dozens of lives doing so…
October 1, 20XX / Afternoon
After a difficult battle against the CEO of okumura foods, the team now waits for the change of heart which in turns means the freedom of their new team member and friend Haru as well as a hint towards discovering the black mask criminal. However, all of that was to take a second plane for now. Ren wanted to relax and what better way to do so than to spend his afternoon playing games with his lovely girlfriend, Ann Takamaki.
Ann: *approaching from afar* hello!~
Ren: 5 minutes late i see, aldo for you that is in character…
Ann: you know why, in the t.v they often say to be “elegantly late”.
Ren: really now?... ok ok.
Ann: ohh don`t give me that look, 5 minutes is nothing, I'll still win.
Ren: ahhh, so last week`s 0-10 on the darts was just a bluff?.
Ann: Can it! you used those professional darts, this time we are using the normal darts!.
Ren: game on then, my lady.
The couple entered the building, not many people were in it to their surprise, but that's better for them, less eyes to see them as they enjoy themselves in an afternoon of darts and billiards.
At first they played their usual 301 points game, one which Ren has became a master, constantly nailing down bullseye.
Ann: you practice this a lot do you sweetheart?
Ren: “nods” i played against everyone of our friends, even morgana. So yeah, i got the practice to it
Ann: what…. Morgana can play darts?
Ren: don`t ask…..
Ann:.... oooooooo kay. That aside, how do you do it? constantly getting bullseyes, I saw internet videos about it yet I can't seem to get it.
Ren: you were practicing too?
Ann: A bit, it's just ... you seem to be an expert in anything and everything you do. I wanna match you.
Ren: maybe that's exaggerating a bit Ann….
Ann: no it isn't. Hell, you could even be a model like me no problem if you really wanted too.
“Ren laughed at the thought”
Ren: Wouldn't that be something.. I'll get to be with you more time then “Ren says as he blows a kiss”
The young model was a bit jealous of Ren sometimes, no matter what he does, he is always instantly a pro at what he does, studying, baseball, cards, track and field, dancing, thieving….
It makes everyone else pale in comparison, she sometimes wonders if the others feel the same…
Ann: ANYWAYS…. you know something i don`t, teach me your ways in darts. Pretty please.
Ren: alright alright, but let me see something first.
“Ren then moved behind Ann and grabbed her waist and shoulder”
Ann: GAH! Ren, what are…
Ren: relax, you need to fix your posture, if you nail the posture and the throwing strength, you get a bullseye in no time.
The young man was moving and adjusting Ann's body to better help with the throwing, but his constant torch was creating a mix feeling of unease and arousal in ann.
She knew he was feeling her slim waist and the soft skin of her arm, she didn't know how to react, it was overwhelming her poor heart. What`s worst, he was also pressing himself against her, moving her arm to teach her the throwing motions.
Ann`s thoughts: omg he is doing this on purpose! i can't focus!
Ann: REN! “she finally let out a word of her troubled mind”
Ren: ah! “he backed away in surprise” what?
Ann: Don`t “what?” me… what was that?! i thought you would give me some pointers, not pose me like a mannequin! “she said with her face all red in embarrassment”
Ren: it was the best way to teach you how, besides, i thought you would like to be closer to me “he said as he winked at her”
Ann: you… sly…. little…… “she looked away”
Ann and her poor, poor heart. She didn't want to admit it, but she enjoyed that.
After that Faithfull moment in the big wheel, when they shared their first kiss, she now constantly wants to touch and hold Ren close. When she is with Ren, she feels safe, in heaven even.
But she also knows that Ren is a man with a lot in his mind, she didn't want to appear as a selfish girl who wanted him all to herself, nor appear as a weirdo who gets aroused by such things. But this? Ann was shocked at it herself.
Ren: Hey, sorry if it made you feel bad. I truly am
Ann: it's not that.. you didn't do anything wrong, i was just surprised, really “she said as she twiddle her thumbs' '.
Ann: “laughs a bit” You even know how to play with a girl`s heart ehhh?
Ren: games of the heart are a thing?
Ann: if they are, you just got good at those, after all, you stole my heart, and it belongs to you now..
Ren: i guest that makes me the lucky one “scratching the back of his head”
Ann: aldo, i know how to play that game too….
“As she finishes saying that, she approaches Ren and kisses him in the cheek”
Ren: Jeje, you're good at this Ann, very good.
With the games of the heart in full motion, they forgot completely about the game of darts, they finished the drinks they had and left to walk around, holding hands and enjoying their time together for the rest of the evening.
While the duo had a lot in their minds still, they still treasure these moments together, every experience, every mistake, every laugh. What tomorrow brings to the phantom thieves and Ren`s future, they will face it together.
Guest that is all part of the games of the heart.
