In the afternoon of this garden

Teru Minamoto x reader

Your touch that should have lingered far longer disappeared and left me to grow cold

"Teru...do tell me. Would you exorcist me if i was an apparition?"

You say in a tone that was unfamilliar to him, a soft, frigid tone, with a tinge of timid and nervousness that laces your voice.

.

"In a heartbeat"

●●●

That day flashes Teru's mind seconds as he hesitated to draw his blade, the lightning that usually emitted from it dims down to small stings of electric waves

Today isn't as different as that day teru said to his mind. Nothing changed. He convinced himself

Though the pouring rain may beg to differ

"Ahhh- my alyssum is dying!!" You moped, hovering an umbrella over it, in an attempt to save it even just a little bit knowing well that the recent pouring rain of japan would kill this plant of yours

You failed to notice right behind you he stood. Teru's heart thump in a suffocating way

Thump

.

Thump

.

Thump.

.

Each and every heartbeat feels like it's going to rip his chest open

Lightning struck from from faraway, though when the light flashed your figure his eyes widened.

He shook his head, it's only an illussion, he must be imagining things...nothing's changed. He looks up after noticing your form no longer holds a shadow

There's no way you're...

The gurgling sound of thunder followed

You didn't flinch. You were used to lightning after all

"Maybe i should build a hut for my plants" you joked, looking back to him. Raising an eyebrow at his stiffness, he stood there unmoving, contemplating on his next move.

"And here i thought i was devastated! Ahahaha!" you joked once again, trying to lift up the mood, despite him staying silent. Your laugh only sounding like a distant voice outside of his dome of thoughts that he locked himself into

You went up to him, still frozen, now lifting the umbrella to him, worried he might get sick by how damped his uniform was getting, letting the rain hit you

Though you failed to notice for how much you stood in the rain, your uniform stayed ever so dry

"Teru are you okay?" Your hand went to his cheek

You remain unfazed while Teru stood there still frozen from how he couldn't feel anything from the contact

the proof was right on his face yet he seeks more excuses .

He denied it. How you complained about how your friends ignored you, how you always feel cold these days, how you're never hungry or thirsty, how you would smile and say your body never hurts anymore. Each and every change that you present to him he ignored every sign.

Perhaps he wanted to keep you longer than you should've lingered.

But with this simple gesture, it feels like reality is forcing him to wake up out of his stupid dream and just end your suffering.

Funny how he never once thought there would be a future where he is not by your side, yet now maybe it felt like a distant dream.

He tried to remember that day again, closing his eyes, not wanting you to see how reddened his eyes are now

●●●

"In a heartbeat." he said

A cruel answer to give to the one you cherish in this very lovely garden. He never really payed the gardening club a frequent visit. But now he wishes he did seeing you tending your garden with such care, it brings a smile to his face. Distracting him from the nonsensical question you had just asked

Though you gave him a meaningful look, a look he didn't understand at that moment, it confused him at that moment, yet he payed no mind to it

"I know"

You had always confused him. But he wouldn't mind being confused the rest of his life, if that means you'd stay with him till the end

●●●

"Oh Teru..don't cry"

you said, awakening him from his sweet daydream of a memory of you, as he now opened his eyes to the harsh bitter reality

He wondered how you could've noticed his tears in this heavy pour

"I can't-.. i can't..." his voice cracked, he only wished the rain could covers his plead to the gods wishing that this was just a long dreadful dream

"How could i even possibly-... you.."

he couldn't bring himself to finish that very sentence, the very person that he loved with all his heart became a being that he swore to erase

You've seen a lot of side of him, even a side which he cried and stuttered. Yet each and everytime you witness it always breaks your heart

You looked into his eyes, maybe for the last time. He could tell by the look in your eyes that you knew all along. It hurts him even more

All the signs...it wasn't signs, it was sirens of clues that you lit for him to see. Yet he chose to close his eyes

With each and every thump on his chest, he can't bring himself to do it, he fell to the ground clutching his chest, his katana made a loud clunk when it collided to a stone, making it ring through the garden in an eerie way

You kneeled in front of him embracing him in what he feels like a gush of wind

"I know"

"This devil isn't a baby" I'M WHEEZING

Your cat hates him

pairings | suo hayato, kaji ren, togame jo x gn! reader

tags | fluff, crack, might be ooc, not proofread.

note | I haven't written anything for 2 weeks now </3

The sound of laughter caught his ears and he looked at you “And do tell me why you are laughing, my dear?” SUO smiles at you “It’s nothing, it's just—cute to see you engage in an eye contest with my baby” Suo pouts “This devil isn’t a ‘baby’” You roll your eyes “That ‘devil’ is my baby kitten, sweetheart” You picked up your kitten, hugging her “See!! Isn’t she adorable” You giggle as Suo and your kitten continue glaring at each other.

“Hm? Ren, is there something wrong?” KAJI snaps from his thoughts as he takes the lollipop from his mouth “Is she gonna be there for another hour?” You tilt your head “Gonna be where?” He signals your lap and you let out a little giggle as Kaji’s cheeks go red “Tch, don’t laugh…” Your cat looks up at Kaji and he can almost see it smirking at him, his eye twitches “Is my other baby feeling neglected?” You tease “That damn cat has been on your lap for an hour now” He says as his entire face is now red.

“Baby—” Before you could finish you hear a ‘yeah’ and a ‘meow’. TOGAME looks at your cat, who’s already staring back at him, almost as if it is ready to pounce at him “Doll, your cat is doing it again” Your cat hissed, biting his finger. Togame withdrew his hand and glared at your cat “Oh my God, I’m so sorry for that Jo” You picked up your cat as she stared at your boyfriend “Baby, apologise!” Your cat replied with a ‘meow’, looking away “What’s up with you? You’re not usually like this…” Togame sighed, irritated by your ‘baby’ “So it’s like that just with me, huh"

Have a bad day!? Here is Sakura Haruka as a cat!!!

I might actually write this trope

I have a Windbreaker fanfic idea but I don’t feel like writing it so here you go writers!!

Reader is an artist and has done many of the paintings/murals on the school building/in town and is working on another one when *insert character* comes across them.

Do with this what you will. Free idea.

[rayne-astrophile]

someday sakura's romance sensor will bring trouble to suo.

the thought of it brings a sigh to the one-eyed patch young man.

“hm?” a voice hummed beside him, he glanced down to see you curiously looking back at him. suo ignored the little leap his heart made. “are you still tired from the fight a few days ago?”

“oh, is it that obvious?” suo smiled. he set down the cup on the table and slightly leaned into you. suo fights back his laugh as he hears a choke somewhere in front of him. his sappanwood eye focused on yours, intense.

“why don’t you nurse me back to health?” he teased.

and there is it. the reaction he is looking for — your flustered, shy expression. then, it immediately changes to a glare he found so cute. suo takes a quick look at the bicolored or should he say, tricolored man? sakura’s face is flaming red, he almost resembles a tomato.

suo chuckled. “ah, did i accidentally set off a sensor?”

“suo-san!” nirei’s eyes darted to sakura’s trembling form and suo’s smiling face back and forth, nervous. you do the same, confused by what suo’s words. what sensor???

too bad, you will never know about it until sakura can’t take any more of suo’s teasing.

In the mood to write an angst, be prepared :D and no ship !!

FAILED

☞︎︎︎ in which Mash Burnedead failed to wake up on time and Innocent Zero killed everyone

Why is everyone sleeping?

"Everyone...?" He calls out after he recovers from his slumber. He expects to see Lance, Dot, Finn, Rayne, or even Orter fight against Innocent Zero when he wakes up. Instead of that, everyone is laying on the ground, sleeping.

But there's blood. Everywhere.

"You're awake, Mash Burnedead." He snaps his head at the source of the voice. There, Innocent Zero stands behind him, red liquid all over his face. "But you're quite late. You failed to watch me destroy the world."

Golden eyes watch his every move. "You look rather confused," the now-immortal man sighs. "I told you..." he closes his eyes before opening them again. "This world... serves me. To be immortal. I need it empty... so I don't have any obstacles or enemies to threaten my life. I-"

"What did you do...?"

"Pardon?" Innocent Zero asks, frowning at his rudeness to cut him off. Mash is looking at him, but he can't see his eyes as his long bangs cover them.

"My friends..." Mash Burnedead mutters, something about his empty tone sends shivers down Innocent Zero's spine. "...why are they sleeping right now? What did you do?"

He calms himself down, there's no way this kid can do such a thing to scare him.

"I see you're still in denial," he murmurs with a surprisingly tender voice. "Mash Burnedead. You have failed. Your friends are dead."

No response.

Innocent Zero continues, "You slept for too long. I managed to kill every human being in this world." He reveals. "You're alone now, Mash Burnedead." He finishes the painful statement that hits Mash like a bullet impales his heart.

His lips part, but there are no words formed from his throat. He shakes his head, his hands clench into fists as he stares at the ground with wide eyes.

Then everything turns black.

.

.

.

He opens his eyes.

Was that all a dream...? He wonders. But when he looks around, it's still the same. Everyone is laying on the ground, unmoving, dead.

But there is his so-called father near him. He, too, is all bloody, his red eyes stares into void without any sparks of life.

Did he kill him? Is he a killer now?

"....sand guy. Where's Orter...?" He murmurs, his voice sounds hoarse. "I killed someone... he must be mad. He must want to throw me into jail..." he stands up wobbly.

He walks around, no place comes to mind. Corpses of unknown citizens are the only thing that greet his awaken.

"Rayne and the principal must be disappointed... Lance would've scolded me for this. Where are they...?" No answer can assure him.

A familiar blue hair catches his eyes. Widening them, he runs towards his friend, adrenaline rush in his veins.

"Lance...!" He calls out.

There, his friends, everyone, are standing together, smiling at him. As if telling him that he did it.

He did what...?

"Mash!"

He can hear Finn and Lemon's voices.

"Victory dance, yeay!"

Yes, they would've danced around foolishly since Mash defeated Innocent Zero.

"I did most of the work!"

Dot exclaims, pointing to himself with pride.

"Mash, you didn't have to kill him," Lance mutters, his tone scolding him.

Rayne would stare at him with a frown but said nothing. Orter would try to get him into jail. Everyone would have different reactions.

He's still running towards them. His breaths are heavy, his chest is aching.

It hurts.

He trips on a small pebble and falls pathetically onto the ground, a low 'oof' escapes his lips. His hands shakily lift his weight up as he raises his head to look at his friends.

There's no one standing there.

They're all laying on the ground, lifeless.

Mash shakes his head as he wipes the bleeding bruise on his cheek. His shaky breaths are the only sound in the quiet atmosphere.

Mash feels pathetic. Running around like a fool in denial.

Oh, wait...

He's in denial.

He clenches his fists, the tips of his fingers grazing the earth until they draw blood. In front of him is Lance, his face against the rough ground so Mash can't see him.

"Lance..." he calls out, unaware of the tremors in his voice. "Lance, I... I'm planning to let you have the title divine visionary after this. I don't like to work so much, so I hope you won't mind it..." he mutters, head hangs low. "I defeated Innocent Zero.. but I think I killed him. I shouldn't have done that, right?"

For the first time, he chuckles. "You'll... scold me as usual, right? Because you said you don't want me to do bad things as my classmate..." he breathes out. "Dot, Finn and others..."

They're all laying around, scattered near Lance.

"They'll throw a party after this, right? I want cream puffs..."

He exhales, his arms that are supporting him tremble. His whole body is shaking as he stares down onto the ground. He grits his teeth, his vision is getting blurred.

"We're supposed to graduate together..."

Droplets of tears drip down onto earth.

"I'm sorry..." he says shakily. "I failed you guys. I'm sorry."

This is the magic realm. All who reside in this world can use magic at will. Thus, magic has become a natural part of everyone's daily life. A gift believed to have been bestowed by God. Its importance is so great that one's level of mastery even determines one's social status. 

But deep within a certain forest…

A deer trembles, watching a certain ravenette working out, pumping up a weight of the dumbbell that no human can lift. 

…there is one who stands in opposition to the world's rule. 

MASH BURNEDEAD puts the large dumbbell on its holder with a huff as he lifts a paper bag of cream puffs. He takes one and munches on the soft texture of the pastry. "Nothing like a cream puff after pumping." He mutters to himself as the terrified deer stares at him in disbelief. 

"Mash! Are you done?" 

And then there's this devil's child. 

Mash turns to another ravenette as he finishes his cream puff. "Luffy," he greets him. "Yes, I'm just finished. What about you?" He asks as he takes another cream puff and reaches out for the other to take it. 

"I've finished mine, too." Luffy grinned, taking a seat beside the golden eyed ravenette. He accepts the cream puff in delight. "Thanks." He smiles. 

The corner of his lips lift up slightly. "It's delicious, right?" Mash asks his companion as Luffy nods his head. "Mhm. But meat is better," he claims with pride. 

"Of course meat is better. They provide proteins for us," Mash sighs before standing up. "C'mon, let's go home." He reaches out his hand to the other, which is taken. 

Luffy gets on his feet and rests both of his hands behind his head. "What do you think the old man will make for dinner?" He asks randomly. 

"Luffy, it's not even lunchtime yet." 

"Do we push it or pull it?" 

Luffy hums, tilting his head to the side as he scrunches his eyebrows. "I've opened this door before, but I don't remember. You made me confused, Mash." 

"Sorry…" 

"It's nothing. We'll just do whatever we can to open it." The shorter ravenette suggests. "Okay." 

Crack

"AAAHHHH!" 

"Oh, hey pops." Mash says nonchalantly as he notices the older man's presence. "We're back." 

"Yo, old man!" Luffy raises his hand cheerfully. 

"All you had to do was open the door, not rip it off its hinges!" Regro exclaims, making the young ravenette look down. "Sorry…" Luffy steps in, "Don't yell at him, old man! I was the one who told him to just rip it off if he can't open it!" 

"Then why didn't you open it?!" 

"Sorry…" 

"N-No, it's alright… as long as you understand what you did…" Regro mutters blankly. 'They're so amenable. How could I get mad at them?' 

"We'll fix it!" 

"Wait—AAAHHHH!!!" Regro screams, watching as his two adopted sons smash the poor door at its frame. "TURN IT! YOU HAVE TO TURN IT!" 

However, the pounding of the door is too loud, so they cannot hear him. "Weird… it won't go back in." Mash tilts his head to the side confusedly as Luffy hums. "Mash, you have to turn it. Put the door by the shape of the door frame," he suggests. 

Regro cries dramatically as he covers his mouth, crocodile tears flow on his face. 'Luffy is smart despite not going to school!' He mutters in his head. 

"Like this?" Mash asks, turning the wooden door according to the door frame's shape. Luffy nods his head and grins. "Yep! Just like that!" He pats the taller ravenette's head proudly. 

Mash raises an eyebrow, "But how do we stick it back?" He asks curiously as Luffy smiles. 

"Don't ask me, I'm not a shipwright." He dismisses nonchalantly. "Why a shipwright?" Mash tilts his head to the side. "Not a carpenter?" 

Luffy pauses, his mind goes blank. "Uh… I don't know." He shrugs. "It's the same, they still need to fix and build." 

"Forget about that for now. How's your training routine?" Regro asks the two ravenette. 

"Done!" 

"Done," Mash murmurs. "But there's something I want to ask you, pops." Luffy glances at him curiously. "Why do you have us do nothing but work out?" He asks, as Luffy blinks in realisation. "I've been meaning to ask you that too! Not for me though, it's about Mash after all." 

Regro looks at them silently before lowering his head, his eyebrows furrow. "Because you are…" 

'Because you are different. Since you can't use magic, this is the least I can do for you…' 

"Is it because he can't use magic?" Luffy asks, making the poor old man flinch in shock. Slowly, he nods his head. “Yes, that’s true. Mash can’t use magic, so he needs a way to protect himself from the world. This is the least I can do for him,” he admits softly before locking his eyes with Luffy’s round ones. “I hope you will help him too, Luffy.” 

The said teen grins and nods his head. “Of course I will, old man. He’s my brother after all.” He wraps an arm around Mash’s neck, headlocking him, making him stumble due to their height difference. “This guy wouldn’t survive without me. I won’t die before him,” Mash releases himself from the shorter male’s arm. “That’s a promise,” he mutters. “Right?” 

The cheerful ravenette nods his head eagerly. “Yep!” Regro frowns, “You shouldn’t promise something like that, Luffy. What if one day—” 

“You worry too much, old man. It’s not good for your health,” He cuts the older man off. “Plus, I’m strong. No one can kill me.” He exclaims with confidence, making Regro shake his head. “Whatever you say, kid. You must’ve gotten that confidence from Garp.”

Luffy makes a face when he hears his grandfather’s name. “Ew, no. I don’t want to get anything from him.” 

“Gramps will kill you if he hears that.” Mash comments on his remark, and Lufy’s shoulders slump. “Then I’m not sure if I can keep that promise.” The bowl cut ravenette scoffs and ruffles the latter’s hair before putting something on his head. Luffy glances up to see his beloved straw hat, making him grin with glee. 

“My hat!” Mash shakes his head, “You left it back in the forest. You’re lucky I noticed it.” 

“Shihihihi! Thanks, Mash!” 

“Alright, boys. I’m heading out.” Regro says curtly. “I’ve told both of you countless times before, but you must never venture out in the city.”

“We won’t.” Mash replies shortly, making Regro smile softly. “Both of you are good sons, Mash, Luffy. So amenable. I’ll return soon.” 

As Regro leaves, Mash suddenly takes out a piece of paper and gestures at Luffy to come closer. A poster of Goblin Cream Puffs special menu is printed on the white sheet of paper. The two brothers exchange looks before the straw hatted one grin. 

“We’re sorry, pops, but we cannot ignore the call of an empty stomach.” 

“Wait, Mash.” The ravenette’s steps come into a halt as his brother calls out to him. “Don’t you think we should draw a magic mark on your face?” Luffy asks as he takes a black marker. “C’mon, let me draw one on your face.” 

Mash obliques, as he sits on the chair for Luffy to reach his face. As the straw hatted ravenette draws the magic mark, Mash speaks. “Luffy,” the said teen hums. “I’ve actually been wondering about another thing.” 

“Tell me, I’m listening.” He replies, his eyes focusing on drawing. 

“Why doesn’t pops worry about you?” 

His hand freezes at the question as Mash continues, “You don’t have a mark too. Shouldn’t pops be worried about you too instead of me alone?” 

“...” Luffy closes the pen marker and puts it back to its place. “We’re different, Mash. You don’t have any magic,” he pauses as he takes a seat across the other. “But you don’t have any curse either.” 

Luffy lifts his hand and stares at it. “I don’t have any magic marks, but I have a curse mark." He mutters, showing the mark on his neck. "That makes us different, Mash. I also have my scar to trick people around.” He then locks his eyes with the golden ones. “I have enough power to protect myself. Old man is worried about you because you only depend on your strength, while the others have supernatural powers.” 

Mash stares at him silently as he continues. “But that doesn’t make you weak. You’re strong, Mash, even stronger than me! Isn’t that awesome?” Luffy exclaims, lighting up the mood. He stands up and approaches the honey-eyed male, ruffling his hair softly. “Let’s go. You don’t want the cream puffs out, right?” Mash gasps and immediately follows his brother, running slightly to catch up to him as he mumbles to himself. “Why do I feel like we’ve forgotten something…?” 

They arrive at the city, and Luffy frowns at the people who use magic for anything. “Couldn’t they just do stuff by hand?” Mash comments as he stares at the citizen. Luffy nods his head, “I know right? Magic just makes people lazy and too dependent.” 

“We’ll take 10 of the special,” Mash orders as the man nods his head. “Sure thing.” The ravenette hands him the weird-shaped coins, which make the man dumbfounded. “Uh…” 

Luffy immediately takes the coins and apologises. “Sorry, he’s so excited that he crushed these coins.” He reformed the coins back to its shape before giving it back to the man. “Here you go.” 

The poor man is terrified. 

“Thank you for waiting,” Mash accepts the cream puffs with a silent enlightenment, making Luffy smile. “Thank you very much." 

The wind blows softly, bringing Mash's hood down as he gasps. Luffy widens his eyes and helps him take his hood back on his head. He sighs, “It’s a relief we made your mark,” he mutters as the wind blows again, this time taking his straw hat down to his nape. Luckily, it has a string around Luffy’s neck so it doesn’t get blown away. 

The straw hatted ravenette pouts as he puts his hat back onto his head. “Gee, the wind sure hates us.” Mash nods his head as he munches on a cream puff.  

However, they don’t realise how the citizens are looking at them, or specifically, the straw hatted ravenette.

“H-Hey, did you see that?” 

“Y-You saw that too?” 

“Yes, I did!...”

“The curse mark…” 

“We need to report this!”

“Wonder what everyone was all riled up about back there…” Mash mumbles as he swallows the cream puff. Luffy hums, “Don’t mind them. They’re just thrilled to see two handsome teenagers like us,” he replies as Mash looks at him weirdly. 

However, he’s quick to switch his attention to the pastry in his hand. “So yummy…” he murmurs, not noticing the police officer in front of him. 

Luffy is quick to react as he grabs Mash’s hand to stop him, and he gets a success in doing so. But the police officer walks straight and bumps into the munching boy, and earns some cream on his suit. 

“Oh, sorry.” Being the good boy he is, Mash apologises. 

“Hey, hey! Can’t you see there’s an officer working here?!” The officer exclaims angrily. “I’m a proud member of the magic police, here to protect ordinary folks like you, don’t you know?! And do I get any thanks? No! My only reward is lousy, bottom barrel pay!” 

Luffy steps in front of Mash with a frown on his face. “So? Why are you telling us? It’s not like we can do anything about that dirty government of yours!” He remarks, glaring daggers at the older man. 

“What did you say, brat?!” 

“I didn’t know the proud member of the magic police is deaf,” He says mockingly. “I pity you.” 

The officer clenches his fists and grits his teeth, “Why you—!” 

“Luffy, don’t.” Mash grabs the shorter teen’s shoulder before he can pick a fight with the officer. He hands out his half-eaten cream puff at the officer. “Would you like a cream puff? You seem like you could use it.” He offers, making Luffy scrunches his face in dismay. If it was him, he wouldn’t offer anyone his food except his brother. 

However, that just makes the man’s blood boil even more. “You got some nerve! Bratty little punk!” He slaps away the cream puff from the ravenette’s hand. “Picking a fight with an officer? Don’t you know I’m the law of this land?! And what about my uniform, punk?!” 

Luffy pulls Mash back to his side and grabs a hold of the officer’s uniform and rips it off. He throws the cloth away as he glares at the older man. “There you go. All clean without that government uniform.” He smiles threateningly. “And for your information, your law doesn’t work on me. God's law doesn’t work on the devils either, right?” 

“Y-You…” The officer quickly covers his bare chest with his hand as Luffy narrows his eyes at him. “Talk to my brother like that again and I’ll beat the shit out of you.” 

“What’s the problem, Terry?” A new voice is heard as the officer, Terry, turns to the source of the voice. “It’s these kids, Brad!” He exclaims as Luffy scoffs. “These kids got you squealing like that?” The new man, Brad Coleman, raises an eyebrow. 

He then widens his eyes when they land on Luffy’s neck. “...is that him? The cursed brat from that report?’ 

“What are you looking at, ‘Brat’?” The said man irks at the straw hatted teen. 

However, before he or Luffy get to continue, Regro comes running and grabs both Mash and Luffy. “Please excuse my sons!” He runs straight to their house. 

“How many times have I told you?! Do not go to the city on your own!” 

“I’m really sorry… it won’t happen again…” Mash slumps his shoulders, feeling guilty. Regro’s anger immediately disappears. “Well… that’s good I suppose…” He mutters. “Just be more careful next time, alright?” He then turns to the straw hatted ravenette. “You too, Luffy. Don’t pick a fight with citizens,” Luffy looks away, huffing before nodding his head. “...fine, even though he was the one who bumped into Mash…” 

Regro nods his head with satisfaction. “As punishment, repeat this morning’s training routine.”

“Hell yeah!” 

“Okay,” Mash replies calmly, to opposition from Luffy. “By the way, the rest of these cream puffs are for you.” He hands out the paperbag to the older man, which he accepts. “Oh, thank you.” 

“What are you looking at?” 

“The squirrel is trembling.” 

Mash hums at his statement. “Are you slacking off, Luffy? Pops wouldn’t like that.” He murmurs. Luffy shakes his head as he stares at the poor squirrel. “Nah, I’ve already doubled my training for today. So that makes up for the punishment,” 

“Can it work like that?”

“Yeah, for me.” 

Mash puts down the large dumbbell onto the ground as Luffy glances at him. “Done already?” The taller ravenette nods his head. “Five minutes is all I need when I put my mind to it.” He replies. “Let’s go home for more cream puffs.” 

“Yea, let’s go.” Luffy nods his head. “For some reason, I have a bad feeling.”

“Hm… push or pull again?” Mash murmurs as Luffy chuckles. “Let me open it.” He reaches out his hand to open the door, but freezes when he hears a voice.

“You knew we’d come for that kid,” Mash widens his eyes. “That’s why you hid him.” Luffy grips the doorknob tightly. “Magic is a gift from God. That kid doesn’t have a mark on his face, instead, he has one on his neck. He’s cursed. You know the curse is the opposition to God, right? Keeping him is a sin. His existence itself is a threat,” Mash clenches his fists. 

“In other words… they must die.” 

Regro struggles to breath as the officer holds him up in the air. His eyes narrow, his mind travels back to the moments he met Mash and Luffy. 

Mash was just an infant when Garp handed him to Regro, just before he killed himself. He gave him a reason to live, as the baby needed him. 

However, Garp sent Luffy to him when Mash was a mere six-years-old kid. Same like the unmarked boy, this cursed child needed him too. Luffy might be a troublemaker at first, but later on Mash’s kind nature became his. Both of them are good and kind, and they need him. To be protected from cruel fate. 

“...RUN, MASH! LUFFY!” Regro screams on top of his lungs. “GO ON, MASH, LUFFY! GET OUT OF HERE!” 

“Pipe down, will you?!” Brad attacks him with his magic, but Regro keeps screaming. “RUN AWAY!” 

“Last chance, old man. Before I make you really regret this—” 

BANG!

Mash pushes an officer’s head as Luffy walks in, his eyes glaring at Brad. “Regret what, Brat?” He asks, a hint of sarcasm is audible in his tone. 

“Hey, punk! I haven’t forgotten what you did—” Terry doesn’t get to finish his sentence as Mash rips his uniform off, and his exe has stopped working. Before he can recover, Mash slaps him countlessly until he falls. 

Brad stares at Mash with wide eyes as he sees no marks on his face. “You don’t just keep a cursed kid, but also an unmarked? This is more than a sin, old man.” He narrows his eyes at the man. “An unmarked and cursed child… you’ve gone too far!” 

Luffy steps closer, “Oh yeah? Wanna see how far I can go?” He threatens. “I’ll show you what makes me a cursed child—”

He cuts himself off when Mash steps ahead of him. “Let me, Lufy.” The straw hatted teen raises an eyebrow. “He hurt pops,” Mash mutters, his bangs covering his eyes. “Both of you always do your best to protect me. This time, let me protect you.” 

Luffy softens his eyes as a smile makes its way to his lips. He steps back and chuckles. 

“They’re yours, brother.”
