Three Months Fighting Side by Side in Red and Black

"It seems you've already been targeted."

"By who?"

"Gin."

"..."

Bourbon recalled the call Vermouth had given him not long ago. The complicated feeling he'd had then, both chilling and thrilling, was still vivid. As an undercover agent, being targeted by the Organization's top killer meant his identity was under suspicion, and he could be exposed at any moment. But facing Gin directly was something he'd always wanted to do...

"You're out."

"...!"

The icy tone sounded like a verdict. Bourbon jolted awake and stared blankly ahead.

Orange flames flickered in the evening breeze, casting shifting light across their faces.

"I said, your fish is burnt." The silver-haired man across from him looked impatient, apparently annoyed that Bourbon had spaced out.

Bourbon looked down. Oh, right. No wonder he'd smelled something burnt just now...

He gave an awkward smile, set the charred fish aside, and sincerely apologized to the fish for its sacrifice.

When he looked up again, his feelings were still terribly complicated.

Gin was sitting right in front of him, idly turning the fish roasting on a stick...

He hadn't expected their "confrontation" to come so soon, and even less so that being "targeted" would be like this...

He'd woken up in an unfamiliar place, with Gin lying beside him... The shock had nearly made him stop breathing!

In short, it was awkward.

They were in a forest that looked dangerous just to glance at. It seemed, maybe, probably, that they had no choice but to rely on each other, combine their strength to find a way out, and figure out what was behind this strange situation...

Note: 1. A crossover, Gin x Toru.

2. A true love-hate relationship. They work together at first, then have a final showdown later. It may not be a conventional happy ending.

3. Written on a whim, focused on the romance and pure fun. Please overlook any plot holes.
