-Encounter-

It all happened so fast that Charlie didn't get out of the way in time.

"P-Phantom R!"

"Bonjour Charlie. My apologies, I didn't think that I would bump into you."

The private eye blinked, then furrowed her brows in irritation. She had been playing soccer as usual, and the moment she turned around, a body had slammed into her, causing them to fall and lead to this ... position.

"I rather you get off of me, right now," having the thief above her just did not sit well for the blonde.

"If I wasn't in such a hurry, I'd say that I quite like my position here just fine."

Before Charlie could get another word out, the red-haired moved to stand up, lifting her upright as well.

"Hey, stop right there!" there were two constables running towards them.

"I guess that's my cue to leave," the casanova turned back to Charlie. Once again, the private eye was caught off guard for the next thing she knew, the man had leaned in to plant a chaste kiss upon her lips.

"Until we meet again ... Charlotte."

"W-wha-" but the thief already left, and Charlie could only stare at the direction he took off in bewilderment. She gently touched her lips, her face flushed red at the memory.

She shook her head, "He's only joking. That man always is."

She turned to around and began to head home, picking up the soccer ball on the way.

"But ... I wouldn't have minded if it weren't," she shook her head again.

"Get ahold of yourself, and stop thinking of him in that way. We have one job to do, and that is to capture him and bring peace in Paris," with that resolve in mind, she walked to her home with her head held high.

She could never have seen the lone figure on top of the building behind her, watching her.

"I would never joke of such things Charlotte. And the next time we meet, I'll prove it to you than just a quick kiss."


My first Rhythm Thief fanfic! Yeah! Also my first het. paIrving story where it is no OC or reader. (*Cough* One Piece *Cough*)

I've fallen in love with the game, and my OTP is so Phantom R/Raphael x Charlie/Charlotte. And I don't know why, but I don't really like Marie much. Maybe if there was more interaction with her and Charlie to be best sisters or something, then maybe.

Also, the moment I saw Charlie, I immediately shipped them. Thought it was shounen ai, until I found out that Charlie was a girl ... Needless to say, it did not deter my ship for them! So win-win, since I can make Charlie a guy without having to do some sort of bizarre thing that supposed to explain the gender change! XD
