The air was tense, and not just from the amount of people smoking in the hall. KO looked down on Fink, who was sitting silently on the steps with her hands in her lap with a guilty expression on her face. She knew she had a lot to explain, KO was most hungry for an explanation. He thought he figured out why he was her 'date' to a prom for villains, but turns out he was way off. He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, "Fink, is it true you were trying to use me to make someone jealous?"
Fink looked away, sweat dripping from her pores which she wiped away with a hanky. "Well, that was part of the whole plan. How did you figure it out anyway? Did Devon Ramgo tell you?"
"No, but he told me a lot of things. Like that you guys have dated a few times in the past, and that you've mostly dumped him." KO retorted.
"How do you know him anyway?" Fink questioned.
"Oh he's on my bowling team, and one half of the Uso Penitentiary Million Dollar Tower champions with yours truly. But that's not the hot issue right now, tell me Fink. Why would you want to drag me to this event, with the intent of making a boy you previously dumped jealous? And I want the truth this time, no more games." Fink groaned at the glare he was giving her, she sighed as she explained herself.
"The truth... the truth is KO. I...I-I-I...(Sigh) I just wanted to spend some time with you, without any fisticuffs for once. You see the thing is KO, Devon may have been my boyfriend. But, the only reason I ever dated him was because..." she turned away from the hero, her face was drenched with sweat and redder than a tomato.
"Because..."
"Because... because I was scared okay." Fink panted after letting that out, but KO just looked more confused.
"Scared? Of what?"
Fink groaned before she stood up and paced for a bit, "Look for as long as knew you, my bad side and my heart as been at a massive war when it comes to you KO. When I see you're happy and friendly face, I can't help but want to strangle you. Yet seeing that warm and innocent smile just sends so many butterflies in through my stomach and it makes my face burn, the more I fight you the more I just want to wrap my arms around you and snuggle up to you like a giant teddy bear. (growls before grabbing KO by the collar) WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!"
KO went wide eyed at the accusation, "WHAT?! What do you mean what I-"
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN IT CAUSED ME?! TO HAVE THESE! THESE! THOUGHTS OF YOU! Thought of you hugging me. Kissing me. To marry me! To have babies with you! AND JUST BE AROUND YOU AT ALL!?" She freaked as tears were starting to form, "All these thoughts, thoughts that villains should not have for heroes. Thoughts that is considered wrong in this world we live in, thoughts that have haunted me for the past decade I've known you. Thoughts that makes it hard to watch you with that kappa girl you always hang out with."
KO blinked a couple times in surprise, "Fink... do you..." she didn't need him to finish before she gave him a forlorn frown, this night was never about Devon. She only told herself to try and ease the pain in her heart, it didn't really fully work.
"KO, I like you." she shook her head, "No, I-I love you." KO was taken aback from this, "More than you can ever imagine, the truth is this wasn't about Devon at all. Honestly, this was the only thing I can think of to get you to hang out with me without a fight breaking out. Just once I want to be in the same vicinity as you, but not as enemies. As... boyfriend & girlfriend, as lovers, or even as friends. Because out of an entire school of bad boys, juvie inmates, and fuck ton of other weirdos that will one day doom the world. You're actually the closest thing I ever had to a real friend." she turned away with a tear rolling down her eye, KO listened with remorse to her sobs.
"Fink."
She ignored him as she brought out a phone and dialed a number, "Boss, please take the hostages home. The night's off." she sadly said.
"Very well, Fink. But after you get back, you have a lot of explaining to do. Also, you're grounded for two years."
"Understandable, see you later." she hung up and sighed. She felt KO's hand on her shoulder, "Just go home KO, its over. I know you weren't having fun, so there's no reason for either of us to stay. By this time tomorrow I'll just be back in the latest contraption Buttman makes to destroy your plaza, to think that the top hero in 201XX would ever want to be with a filthy rat like me. I was a fool to think that it can possibly work out between a hero and a vill-"
Fink's eyes went wide when she felt herself get turned over and the pressure of soft lips crash on hers, Fink thought it was all a dream. She thought that she would wake up from Hades' cruel attempt at a sick joke, that she would find herself in her bed in her dungeon style bedroom with a tub of dark chocolate ice cream. There was no conceivable or even remotely possible chance that her crush Kaio Kincaid, the number one pro hero in the world, can actually be kissing her at this very moment during her Villain Prom.
Even when he inserted his tongue into hers and softly caressed hers, she just stayed frozen in disbelief as he wrapped his arms around Fink and pulled her closer. Fink wanted this to be real, desperately wishing that this was really happening to her. That after years of turbo fists, fights to the death, and other nefarious plots to get his attention could he actually be kissing her. No this has to be some kind of trick, it has to be! KO hates all villains with a burning passion! So why would he be doing this, Fink tried desperately to think of any possible explanation for this. Yet she can't help but blush and add a red hue to her pale complexion, can... can it really be?
KO pulled back after a full minute of no return from Fink, he looked into her eyes and saw shock and fear. Shock that he did that, and fear as to if he really did that. "Fink, I admit this night hasn't been easy. But I've actually had a lot of fun hanging out with you."
Fink's response was just tears rolling down her eyes, she shook her head "You're just saying that!" she pushed him away before running away on all fours.
"FINK WAIT!" he called out to her but she was already gone before he can take one step. He sighed as sat on the steps again, his head plopped onto his arms draped over his knees. If he was honest with himself, he didn't really know what to think of the girl. For most of his life she's done nothing but try to demolish the plaza or mount his head on a stake, but after they became teens she started to get more sultry in their encounters. He thought she was just messing with him, but what happened here tonight he wasn't so sure.
The look on Fink's face read dejection and despair, she brought him here not to get killed by her villain friends or use him like he thought. When KO kissed her, he can feel the shock and desperateness in her lips. He felt that she was sad inside, that he was only doing this for pity sakes and not because he actually wanted her. He sighed as he stood up and removed his rubber human mask and replaced it with his Phantom mask, it didn't even matter anymore anyway.
He returned to the dance hall, he looked towards the exit and sighed before making his way out. Without Fink here he needed to get out of there before someone realizes who he really is, "Well, it's not like things can get any worst."
"Attention, Prom goers." KO turned to the stage as did everyone, he freaked when he saw Mala with a microphone in hand. What set him off was the almost knowing smirk he swore she was sending him. "As we are about to start our Prom King and Queen battle, it is my duty to inform you that there is an intruder among us."

"And it's all thanks... to her!" she pointed as a spotlight lit up to reveal...
GASP
KO went wide eyed as he saw Fink strapped to a spinning wheel with a ball gag in her mouth, she can see KO and sent him a scared look. "Our ole friend Fink here, has in my mind brought a HERO here as her date."
GASP
KO and Fink went wide eyed as when they heard this. But what shocked them was what she said next, "You see, the reason why no one has met B. O. Is because he is actually... (snap)"
KO yelped when he got attacked by a pair of chihuahuas, after a small fight cloud appeared it dissipated to reveal.
"Everyone, meet... KO!"
