"Suzume, please calm down!"

"Go die in a hole somewhere!"

Shuichi just blinked as he watched Hiro practically throw himself at Suzume's feet, begging for her forgiveness. Though, he supposed he was also in the doghouse with how Suzume was throwing him dirty looks frequently.

"Suzume, I'm sorry!" Hiro shouted, getting into a dogeza, his forehead slamming into the floor.

Both Suzume and Shuichi flinched at that.

"Please don't hurt yourself," she muttered, rubbing her forehead, like she was the one who hit her head on the floor. "Just...lock the fucking door, please. Seeing you two naked with his dick—" she jabbed a finger at Shuichi, who was shirtless and completely unashamed at getting caught, "in your ass is not the first thing I want to see in the morning!"

"Well, at least we kept quiet," Shuichi said with a shrug, and she turned her glare on him, making him raise an eyebrow. "What?"

She glared at him for a few seconds before letting out a sigh full of suffering. "Look, I get you two haven't seen each other in three years, but do remember there are other people in this house who are not comfortable with seeing that sort of thing."

"You've never had sex?" Shuichi blinked in surprise.

She deadpanned at him as Hiro got to his feet. "What, you think just because I'm a teenager, I'm desperate to lose my virginity?" she drawled sarcastically, raising an eyebrow.

He shrugged in response.

Hiro chuckled awkwardly, scratching his cheek. "Ah, after her last relationship three years ago, Yusaku-san and Yukiko-san made her promise not to have sexual relations with anyone until she was in a serious relationship with someone she completely trusts," he informed his lover, to Suzume's horror. He gave her an apologetic smile. "Yes, they told me about that."

She threw up her hands in disbelief. "Betrayal all around me," she gasped dramatically. "What's next? Are you going to reveal my sexuality to the world?"

"Bit hard to do that when I don't exactly know your sexuality," Hiro pointed out meekly.

She blinked. "Oh, that's a good point," she murmured, tapping a finger on her chin thoughtfully. She paused with a strange look on my face. "...what is my sexuality?"

Hiro blinked slowly, his facial expression falling flat. "What."

Twirling the disk in her hands, Suzume stared at it.

She had retrieved it the previous day from Itakura Suguru, a game system engineer that apparently had ties with the Black Organization because of a member with the codename Tequila. She had managed to sneak it out of his bag without anyone noticing, much to her relief, as it gave her another lead on the organization.

"Suzume," Agasa greeted as he walked over to her, unfazed that she was suddenly in his home. After all, she does have a spare key in case he needs her to get into his house while he's on a trip. "You have good timing. I finished up on that soccer ball dispenser you asked me to make."

She smiled. "Thanks. Where's Ai?"

"Ai-kun? Oh, I believe she's taking a bath right now."

"That's good."

Agasa got a look on his face. "What do you mean good?"

She blinked at him and held up the disk in her hands. "I need to take a look at this," she said, grinning. "It's a potential lead on the Black Organization."
