Summary: Marcus and Yoshino try to define what their relationship is, during a party from the Dats.
Red
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
Ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright, just before they lose it all
It was the beginning of the night and Yoshino finished getting dressed in her apartment. She looked into her full-length mirror, admiring her red dress. It was tied in the neck, leaving her back bare and was glued in the waist, falling in layers underneath. That night there was a benefit's party at the DATS. She finished, reapplying the lipstick and taking her digivice with Lalamon and the car keys. She was going to give Marcus a ride.
"Oh, it was just what I needed, give a ride to that quarrelsome kid." Yoshino complained.
But deep inside, something was making her anxious to see him. It'd been almost a month since they'd started seeing each other outside the Dats, in the end of the work or at Marcus's house.
"And all because of a little fight... But I think I like him." She said, smiling.
As she took the elevator to go to the garage, flashbacks of them two together, came to her mind.
Flashback
"Ah, c'mon Yoshino, Agumon and I had everything under control!" Marcus complained, annoyed.
"Ah of course, if 'everything under control' means almost destroying the gas station?" She asked sarcastically.
The two were alone in the Dats, the guy sitting in the chair and she supporting herself on the table. Both had their eyes sparking.
"But in the end Agumon and I won!" He said angry.
"Giving us trouble! Have you lost your mind?!" She shouted back.
The girl rose and had both of her hands in his chair, their faces only inches away, both blushing. But none of them dared to move.
"I... haven't lost my mind..." He whispered.
"That's good..." She whispered back.
Marcus put his hands on her waist, pulling her on top of him in the chair and closed the distance between them, kissing her passionately.
End of the Flashback
Yoshino went to Damon's house and beeped. The door opened and Marcus came out, wearing a tuxedo, but with the tie undone, as always, and she smiled, admiring the beauty of the boy. He opened the passenger door and whistled.
"Nice dress Yoshino..." He said, grinning.
"Marcus, thank you, you look elegant." She said, laughing.
He raised an eyebrow and brought his face closer to hers, his breath on her face.
"Elegant?"
"Hum ... more than that." She completed.
The two kissed before she started the car and they left. There were few cars in that road and Marcus opened the window, letting the night breeze enter. He watched as Yoshino drove, her short pink hair swaying gently with the wind. He let a smile escape from his lips, thinking he might be falling in love with that bossy girl. Adjusting the mirror, Yoshino caught his smile and asked:
"What's it Marcus? Something good?" She was curious.
"Yeah, something good." Was all he said.
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
You never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red
At the party, there were many elegant people, and when they reached the door, Marcus gave his hand to Yoshino, who smiled and accepted it. Soon they found Megumi, Miki and Tomas. Both girls were wearing long dresses, white and black and Tomas, a tuxedo, rocking the hearts of the two girls.
"Woo, Yoshie, what a gorgeous dress!" Miki said.
"Oh, thanks Miki, your dress is beautiful too."
"Wow, never saw you in a smoking Marcus, wow." Said Megumi, smiling in disbelief.
Yoshino felt a little jealous hearing this, but the boy was already distracted, going to see the buffet table. Then Miki approached to Yoshino and asked:
"Hey, is it true that you and Marcus are in a serious relationship?"
Yoshino blushed and opened her mouth in shock.
"What?! Who said that?"
"Kotone, from the 3rd floor, she said she saw you two in a room together, last week. So, is it seriously?"
"I still I don't know what Marcus and I have…" She thought. "Miki, what is this? Uqh, of course not!"
Yoshino walked away, wondering about what Miki had just told her. She put her hand on her hair throwing them back. Were they lovers? They were dating?
"Ah, all I know is that loving him is red..." She murmured.
"What is red?" Marcus asked, curious.
Yoshino was in front of the boy.
"Shall we dance?" She asked, exchanging subject.
"Hum? But I don't know how to dance!"
But Yoshino already dragged him to the dance floor, where several people were waltzing, including Sampson and Miki.
"Just put a hand on my waist and the other holding mine. I'll guide you." The redhead said.
Marcus did what she said and found it wasn't so bad. They moved with the music, their arms rubbing and he could smell her perfume. As they couldn't kiss there, he just touched his lips to the corner of her mouth, and then raised them to her head, feeling the smell of her strawberry's shampoo.
"Marcus, what do we have?" She asked, suddenly.
Marcus pulled away slightly, staring at her, without understanding.
"What?" He asked, confuse.
Yoshino bit her lip, trying to explain.
"We, Marcus. What word defines what is happening between us?"
Marcus was caught by surprise.
"Well ... We're friends, right? Sometimes we kiss, when we want…"
PLAFT!
Yoshino slapped him in the face and Marcus put his hand to his face, feeling the warmth of the slap. Marcus stared at her, angry.
"Why did you do that Yoshino?"
Yoshino's eyes were sparking and her face was red. She pointed a finger at his chest.
"So is it? I'm just a girl with whom you are when you want?! Ah, excuse me, I don't want to know about us anymore." She said, angrily.
She held the hem of her red dress and left the room and headed toward the ladies bathroom. Marcus still feeling the slap on the cheek, motioned to follow her, to finish the conversation, but Tomas prevented it.
"Give her a break." Tomas said, serious.
"No, we need to talk now! I can't believe I said that to her!"
"That's because you are too impulsive!"
"And you are too passive!" Marcus said.
And that's why he's spinning round in my head
Comes back to me burning red
Yeah, yeah
Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
"Yoshino... I can't believe I made you cry, not saying how much I love you, your bossy girl..." Marcus thought sad.
He stopped in front of the ladies bathroom, waiting for the time the girl would leave. Inside, Yoshino was in one of the box's bathroom, wiping her face with paper, feeling sad and angry at the same time.
"I can't believe I've lost my time with that treblemaker He doesn't even like me!"
She heard someone knocking on the door outside the bathroom. At first she ignored it but the knocks then were more insistent, so she left the boxer, still with her face red and opened the bathroom door, bumping into Marcus, who was serious.
"Oh, it's you." Was all she said.
She started to close the door, but he put his foot in the way. He then entered the bathroom and backed her towards the wall as he held her there, one hand resting on the wall.
"Now you will hear me Yoshino."
Marcus was so serious that the girl didn't say anything, just got lost in his green eyes.
"Remember when you said loving him is red? Well, I think the same of you. Loving you is red. When you asked me that, I didn't mean to say what I said, Yoshie. I love you, your bossy girl!" He said, with sincerity.
Marcus leaned closer, his lips very close to her and whispered:
"I don't like to make you cry."
"I wasn't crying..." She whispered.
She closed her eyes and said, moments before their kiss:
"I love you Marcus."
After a long kiss, Yoshino said:
"Yeah, I think the word red suits us."
Marcus smiled, taking her hand and kissing her fingers, making her smile too, staring at him with her pink eyes.
"So, what do we have is serious?" He asked.
"It's."
And they left for the hall and passed through the doors, heading toward the parking, to catch the car.
