Summary:

When you love someone, you love their past, present, and future selves-- even if you were not part of their story for the hills and valleys that have made them who they are. This was the way of heroes: risking it all, even to death. You should know this threat by now, as it's the life you make for yourself as well-- but it's so much harder to keep the mentality when it's your loved ones on the line. You learn the extent of one of the biggest trenches in Katsuki Bakugou's life, and it shakes you to your core.

A/N: since I first envisioned my lil biker! reader, I've had this exact interaction on loop in my head. Making it the internet's problem now. apologies in advance for the feelings I've dumped in this fic. Signed, "Bakugou would hold your hair back" Club President

Read on Ao3

Weekday mornings pass by generally uneventfully nowadays, leaving you with not much to do except to wait for calls for hero pickups when the shifts change over. It makes you feel like a bit of a taxi service, but the relaxed vibe makes up for the emergency response times you’re faced with in the dead of night when you get a message from the on-call line.

After a brief stop by your office space to glance at your inbox, you take a lap around the Service Lab in order to catch up with Hatsume.

There’s no one better fit to upgrade your helmet models and even take a special interest in how to bulk up your hero costume in order to protect you better. That’s a revolving topic from Bakugou’s lips as well, so your bringing up the idea wasn’t a foreign one– a revelation that touched you, deep under the professional front you keep here in the office.

Hatsume is highly sought after nowadays. Time in her own lab is where she should be calling home, but given her sporadic interest in all things support tech, she has been prone to taking outsourced Technical Outsource calls for nearby agencies– especially when said agencies employ her dear old schoolmates.

When you join her today, she’s busy talking shop and ropes you right into the conversation by pulling you right into her personal space. As far as subject matter, it’s hit or miss if you can contribute anything to the conversation, though today you’re pleased to see that she's in full ‘Dynamight’ mode.

A favorite topic of yours– and of all the tech assistants in the room. Mei, however, holds a far more casual opinion of Bakugou out of familiarity. They’re hardly on a first-name basis as you are, but hearing her peel back details about the larger-than-life sweetheart of yours is both fun and enlightening to hear.

Through your visits with her over the last year or so, you’re still not one hundred percent sure she actually knows what he means to you, because she barely looks you in the face as you cut your attention over old footage of him across all of her schematics monitors. Had she studied you as much as she studies Bakugou’s shoulder cannons, she’d spot your particular brand of appreciation by the tracing of a finger on your lower lip.

"Yeah it's kinda nice sometimes to jump back to basics with Blasty,” Hatsume drifts into a relaxed state back at her table, “Simple fixes like this -darn thing- hmmmthere we go!- Yep, some things never change! Always smart to figure out how to store more sweat, defer more exhaust. Lil harder now that it used to be, having to worry about the magnets."

“Magnets,” you throw in a word, catching up to her thought process, “What, on his belt?”

“No, those clip into place! The way he complains about ‘em with his gloves though, I should probably look into making them easily detachable, too.. But no, I mean the ones he used to have across his chest, back when we made the first suit edits at UA: Year Three,”

Hatsume keeps a long, archived track record with Bakugou, if her nearby drive bogged down with version files is indication of how many changes she’s made to his hero costume and support items…

“-- because we were trying to offload weight from his arms, I tried to strap ‘em to his torso. Only we learned pretty quick the strength of magnet grade was affecting the charges where it was hitting along his chest.”

"Charges–” you pay more attention now, inspecting what she’s doing. Hatsume doesn’t look your way, but is listening, “In the grenades?"

Do they go off at any second?? You assumed Bakugou’s smaller bombs were pulled in traditional fashion with a pin, as you’ve seen him use them in action firsthand. Hatsume has hard work, if she’s having to check each and every one of those, too…

"Oh! Haha no!" she chuckles brightly, "Sorry hun, shop term: ‘electromagnetic charges’! Each baby bombie has them, even when they’re not in use– but they don’t go live unless triggered. But in the rare event of a preemptive ignition, I didn’t want the chain reaction settin’ off his heart! Couldn’t use the strap anymore after that hoo-hah; too close to the loop device in the ‘ole ticker~"

Now that she’s talking organs, you start to get a pang of nerves.

You know Bakugou’s quirk is biometrically dangerous, but till now, you’ve not worried about the risks it would cause him in that way. Even more, you didn’t know of any internal monitoring device he’d have to check for that sort of activity. Bakugou went to the doc here in this building, when he’s in too rough shape to handle himself. But beyond that, you’re stumped.

"Whyyyy would that matter? What’s inside him, again?"

Hatsume handles the internal wiring of Bakugou's cannons with ease-- now that nothing is connected to an active, explosive vial of sweat. With her outfitted eyes set on the tiny soldering work, Hatsume's got Bakugou’s chart up and briefly flicks it over to the shared screen.

"'Dat one, 'hurr," the a teeny tool in her teeth drops at her need to speak, "I pull a read on his heart monitor whenever I come around to keep tabs on things- same as the core staff here does! Works like a charm with the new heart, now that he's had time to build up muscle around it~"

You look for yourself at the screen as she chatters-- and are horrified at what you find there in a continuous crawl across the screen.

Can't move. You can't breathe.

Can't understand how the hell Mei is still talking with such pep in her voice, when these pictures are taking nearly all of your composure away:

Nothing in your career prepared you to see stills of Katsuki lying stock still and caked with blood.

You're pale as the ghost you're looking at– as gutted as he is in this photo: frozen in time. The archive thumbnails are mostly drone footage, but this much you can see clearly- and wish with everything in you that you could unsee it.

The reference photos on his hero account don't show the extensive medical layover you see here in his technical file. You run through every tiny detail in the stills above you on the screens.

He's incredibly young. The soil around him, plants barely peeking out from the battle-torn ground; it's gotta be the big fight he rarely talks about. It's where he's got certain scars across his arms, chest, and the one cutting across his face; that much he's told you. They’re scars you’ve kissed and shown love and care for in his quietest moments, in which he felt the need to tell you why they stand out more than the others. In that much, Katsuki was honest… but not enough about this.

He never once mentioned organ replacement.

He's never told you his arm was torn to shreds by his own doing.

He never told you he’s living his second chance at life at the expense of another Pro Hero he’d never mentioned either--well, third if you could the brief blip while he was on the operating table after the battle. Didn't flatline for very long, according to these surgery notes, but still...

Surgery notes. Plural. There's many here. Wires sustain his oxygen and bloodflow, putting color back in his face. There's streaks across his cheeks- marred with tracks of soot and old blood, mixing with what must have been tears of pure exhaustion and rage and resolve. Yours sting at your own lash line. Every nerve ending clams up in your body: worse than the wreck that almost put you out of commission.

In your mind, Dynamight’s professional headshot is a flat, grumpy one. No smile to be found, but at least there's a spark behind the eyes.

He's not dead.

He literally brought you a can of coffee this morning.

He stopped you from getting up from the dining table too soon, needing to turn the clasp of your necklace around first because it was 'pissing him off'.

You know he's not dead– but you wish you'd never set foot in this room.

That old coffee's turned to lava in your gut.

"And these boots of his– they make too much noise! Talk about stealth-”

"Scuse- me, Hatsume.."

"--I know he’s not necessarily a known stealth hero, but– hey, when did she leave??”

He may not like how slick they go on when applied, but Bakugou had to admit it, these counterirritant patches were the best dang thing to ever happen to his shoulder blades. Menthol flooding his senses by heat activation, he was feeling better already after his first catch of the day.

After getting the note from Hatsume that his gauntlets were ready to pickup from R&D, he traipsed into her room while texting you. Just a short n’sweet message, hoping that he’d be able to cross paths with you before he’d need to go out again. The messenger app showed you were active within a few minutes ago, but you haven't responded to his messages.

He comes in, half listening to Hatsume’s rant to the staff technicians once again. He catches sight of his file, streaming up at the top of her video wall.

"Ugh, this again?” Bakugou barks out, “What am I, a sideshow to you science freaks?!"

"Hardly when we're the ones you need, Blasty," Hatsume huffed his way, "and besides, I think you better watch who you're talking smack to about this stuff anyway! And it wasn't online for my freaks, anyway. They know your work orders inside and out~ you should be nicer to them!"

You tell him as much, in his more crotchety moments… and you are always right.

Bored of the medical records, he turns to his completed support items out on the reception table, "Then what're you blasting all this shit for? Haven’t had any arrhythmias for months."

“Just because you haven’t had any doesn't mean it’s not a good idea to circle back and check. We can learn plenty from stable periods, just as much as emergencies, ya know!”

Bakugou simply rolls his eyes, throwing a grumbly word of thanks to the technician who brings over the case for said equipment, and starts packing it into place.

Hatsume slips her goggles up her face. Trying to read the Pro Hero before her wasn’t a hard task; he usually deflects when his weaknesses are on full display.

"You want my advice Mr. Murder God?” Hatsume turns more solemn– an attitude she rarely radiates.

“Sounds like you’re gonna give it anyway.”

“I think your teammates outta know what all's happened to you, cuz it sure isn't obvious to everyone. ‘Specially the ones who hang around you all the time… I think it’d be smart if they kept an eye out any emergencies, too- like your transport queen around here– Joyride, isn’t it?"

Katsuki flinched. He turns back from the table -past Hatsume- and centers back up to the full view of the record up on her computer.

He’s not so irritated by its presence anymore… but rather worried about how long it’s been up there, in full view of the room.

"...She saw all this?..."

"Mmmmyea, pretty sure?" Hatsume was already engrossed in her current project, "Was in the middle of your pieces when she came by. She normally doesn’t as so many questions, but she sure was today till she-”

Kaminari slides into the lab -winded and nervous as all getout- nearly colliding with the reception table altogether. He almost hit Bakugou square in the face, since the hothead had turned ready to bust out of the room himself.

"Oh geez, (heh) there you are, Bak- (heh) listen-- your girl's barfing her brains out! You know if she's sick or something??"

Bakugou grimaced and seethed at his own negligence-

"fuuuUUUCK," he hissed rounding the table, before he remembered Hatsume- "YOU, DUMBASS-"

"Scuse you???!"

"TURN THAT SHIT OFF, AND WHEN I GET BACK, WE'RE HAVIN' WORDS-- AND YOU-" Bakugou yelled back to Kaminari, carrier of bad news as he was, "WHERE. IS SHE."

"Bathroom by the rec room- but, hey man, it's locked!!"

Bakugou didn’t take time to listen more as he books it down the hall, making a beeline to where you'd be.

Down the hall just a few corridors away, you hadn’t made it far to take your leave. Bakugou approaches where a couple sidekicks hear you coughing behind a door, and are presently failing to be let in. The sound is heart-wrenching, hearing you sick, but he’s in full protective mode and ready to take out the door himself if need be.

He’s breathing hard, and scares them as he snaps and points harshly for them to move. They do, but not without one of them looking soured that he's getting in their face when they were only trying to help.

Coming to the door, Bakugou tries the handle despite Kaminari’s clear warning that it is indeed locked. He immediately rears up to bang his announcement, but rotates that fist to use just knuckles and taper his knocks down to a reasonable level. He's no less frantic in speech though, calling for you hoarse and breathy -mindful of his audience, only at first-

"Joyride...hon', it's me. Open up."

You're crying on the other side, but gasp when you hear him speak. An urp of a gurgle hits you in the quiet that follows, then another stomach-churning cough.

The rant of expletives that runs through his mind is enough to turn Bakugou’s own stomach... He palms his face for a minute, before letting his forehead drop to the door and speaks again.

"I can't help you if I can't see you, sweet’eart. I… know I got a lot to answer for."

The chances of him greeting a furyless version of you all gone, Bakugou accepts his fate.

"-And I figure if you're gonna yell at me, you should do it to my face. Please open the door."

After a sniffle and an incredibly uncomfortable beat of quiet where Bakugou is staring at the doorknob below him -gripping it in wait to open the second he hears the upper safety lock move-... he finally does, the moment you release it.

Bakugou steps in the single stall room -deftly fast- then locks it right up behind him. The girls on the other side fuss again, but he doesn’t give a spare thought to their efforts.

Down on the floor, not even fully sat back yet from your reach to catch the door, you're the most miserable sight. Stuffing a used-up paper towel that’s in reach by your stash, you're folding the unsoiled side to try and clear off your face and blow your nose for good measure.

What's worse, you can't bear to look at him.

With a careful sigh, Bakugou knows he's got a world of explaining to do- but has a greater worry over your slumped self on the tile floor. He’s seen you with the flu, and you weren’t this sick.

"Baby–"

One word and you're crying again, head down into your knees. Bakugou can only imagine what headspace you’re in, and the list of what he thinks he can say to console you is now down to zero. Actions it is, then.

Bakugou kneels down, swiping your hair back into a rough pony by teething off a hair tie from his wrist to secure it. Just in case you feel sick again, it wouldn’t hurt, he reasons. Once freshened, he takes away your trash bucket next without a word. Collects all the used bits of your attempt at cleanliness into the trash, barely a care for how many there were to clean up. Whatever he’d need to do -whatever you’d allow him to do- that’s how he’s determined to serve.

Finally, he shifts from a kneel to a sit. The blonde crisscrosses his stance under him, bringing you by both arms to pull you forwards, into his lap.

At first you're confused at his hands' insistence, but since he's made himself in prime position to hold you, he's glad to see you fall to the open invitation even in a dire time like this. A little shaky, but still you clamber over to his lap on your knees until he can get you settled the rest of the way himself.

Chest to chest, legs astride him, he'd hoped he'd catch a better look of your face as you came over-- but no such luck as you duck your head in. His chance at helping you remains though, as you’re holding him tight around the neck and shoulders and clearly aren’t averse to him. Frightened enough for one day -maybe even a lifetime- Bakugou lets you cling on, and simply holds you tight in return.

All that matters to him is that you're positioned as close as humanly possible. Protected. Safe to cry and ready to just absorb it. He knows it's what he deserves, and considers himself your personal sponge.

To your hiccups making you jump against his chest, he just pets through your hair quietly hushing you to stillness.

"I'm here." He takes a tepid breath. "I’m not there, baby, I'm right here."

You stutter, but simply try to control your own breaths.

"i--... I'm so.. so.. 've never been so upset.."

"I know."

"I feel so'sick.. y’looked–"

The impulse to kick aside that damn puke bucket is raging within him-- but knowing your possible need for it, he brings it close instead.

"I know, babe.”

He'll get you set before you head out on patrol today. If you ever settle… but for now, he's focused on the one thing he can control, and that’s getting you as comfortable as possible.

From here, you can't look at him, but you can look straight ahead- which shows you Bakugou's full back in the mirrored wall. The movement when he breathes, his neck craning as he lowers his head to sink over your shoulder. How you're being held so tightly it shows in each muscle group.

You can't see it, but feel it: cold breath blown from his lips, to comfort onto your heated neck. Bakugou's lifted up your haphazard ponytail, trying to introduce some cool touch to you in this small space.

You gather it's an apology, done his way-- seeing as he's unintentionally created this catastrophic response in your body.

As you've told him in your most private moments, you've only really felt this raw outlash of emotion in the workplace once before: the day you found out your sweet brother in arms, T’challa, passed away so expectedly. You suppose that's why this is jarring you so strongly now; losing him was the first major loss in your life, years before you met Bakugou.

This is so different, but all the same. A core figure in your support system- your inner circle– here one minute and gone the next. This was the way of heroes. You should know it by now, but it still breaks your tender heart. Even looking at snapshots of Katsuki at his lowest has you heartbroken and shocked.

You're a dichotomy of strength: tough enough to ride headfirst into a mission, but also prone to such intense emotion in your most private moments that you retreat into yourself and deal with an anxious gut all by yourself. Anything to protect the image you keep.

Only today, that exterior means nothing to Katsuki. Not when he alone can try and hold you back together while you try and fix yourself enough to speak coherently.

He's been holding himself together solo for far too long, too; you’ve known this from the first day he out and out confessed ‘I’m bad at this’ when he asked to simply hold your hand in public. You can feel it in your conjoined breaths, cycling back and forth for comfort. He’s unsettled, too– his new heart’s going far too fast.

“Did you actually die out there?” you manage in broken whispers.

Tell me I just thought the worst.

“... I did,” Bakugou answered calmly, “But I didn’t wan’ you to see how. Not alone.”

“Would you have shown me? Ever?”

“Doesn’t exactly come up at the breakfast table, angel.”

‘But it should have by now.’

Bakugou senses the retort and simply pets through your hair again, another apology written by touch.

“But… I coulda picked any other time, by now. You know everything else. I swear.”

Everything meaning injuries, you hope to God… “No more?”

“No more surprises. I promise.”

Secure enough to take a deep inhale, you try to lift your sights heavenward.

Such a sobering thought you have to operate in on the daily, knowing hero work is among the deadliest professions. You could lose your best friends at any time, anyone you love. In that vein, you are trying your best not to be selfish with your need for Bakugou’s safety…. Yet you still hold that small hope that as long as you have each others’ backs, you have a shot at staying ahead and staying alive- together.

Back then, you didn’t know each other. Katsuki Bakugou lived an entire life before he met you, one you were still learning.

"I didn’t know how bad it was for you…” you remember the site of the attack, what surrounded him- or rather, what didn’t. So much of that battlefront had been laid low. That told you as much as the injuries, how bleak everything looked.

Bakugou takes a centering breath himself. His grip on you never lessens.

"It was the worst day of my life,” he shares, “I fought the world's greatest villain. Almost watched my hero die… Almost lost my best friend, all on the same day. Bad memories all around, for all of us."

Memories that seep into sleep.

"S'that what you dream about? When it gets bad?"

Taking the shot at Shigurake, sent flying back by his own ricocheted blast, giving it all- fruitless as it might have been in the moment when every bone in his body felt like it was bleeding out of every pore.

You know somewhere in that event, the best friend Katsuki speaks of must have been on the brink of death in an emotional full-circle moment, for he never speaks ill of him in all the ways that matter. He’s a dork, but he’s his dork. You identified their relationship as special from the moment you’d met Izuku Midoriya but… in a deeper way than you’d found the words for yet. They’re twin stars, bound by something stronger than you even think you share with Katsuki some days. Or maybe it’s just different– not one bond that’s better than another.

You've heard him waking in a panic those nights: how he calls for Izuku, and wakes up in tears. Even in recent months, he doesn't always explain why he’s crying, only that he wants to bury it for the night… and that you help him do that.

On the subject of those nightmares, today’s discovery of that era of Bakugou’s past becomes painfully clear.

And so, he answers honestly, "...yeah."

“That’s so scary, Katsuki. You were so young.”

He feels around with one hand between your crammed bodies- for yours. Your head's still hung over his shoulder, but you crane back to watch what he's doing.

He puts it in place over his heart, forehead knelt to yours.

"Here. This is me, now."

The heartbeat under your palm is strong- a little fast, at the moment.

"They asked me if I’d do it again, if given the chance. N’for the longest time, I woulda said ‘yes’. That’s what I figured heroes say, in the face of the unknown.”

Before you can let that thought gut you again, you feel Katsuki press his thumb in one singular spot: your empty ring finger.

“But I faced the unknown. It was– really light, actually. But all I wanted was more time. I wanted the time to say words. Say more, or- do more. I had to make it right to the ones who mattered. I’m still trying to make it right. And I was given that chance to raise hell, and won. So when I see that shit, I’m grateful. I’m stronger now because of what happened then.”

You look to his face now; the older, stronger, seemingly immovable version of that younger self that still makes its appearance when he’s more pensive. He is still stuck on the look of his thumb where your third knuckle should be…

“Looking at it today though, there is more that war gave me than just making me the hero I am now.”

You press into his heart, “What’s that?”

“If I’d stayed dead,” he treads carefully, “I wouldn’t have you. I wouldn’t have someone who– cares for me, like you do. Who would care about that shitty kid who just barged ahead, even with warning signs going off everywhere.”

With a raise to kiss your hand, Bakugou lets his voice go raspy.

“You looked at that idiot and threw up- all because you cared,” he sniffs with a laugh, “Got a second chance at life, and got a complete knockout who gives a shit about me.”

Abrasive but honest; you laugh in full force. The odd thought passes you: why people watch gory, scary movies for ‘entertainment’ makes no sense to you. If they want horror, just take a gander at a pro-hero’s medical file.

You cradle Katsuki’s head in for good measure and lay an appreciative kiss on his head.

“Of course I give a shit,” you say hoarsely, “tho I prefer to say things like that with honey than vinegar, Kats.”

“Yeah, I know ya do… I count on it.”

When you hug him now, it’s a gentler connection. Bakugou still rubs his hand up and down your back, but out of affection instead of dire comfort.

Finally you feel assured enough for now: you reconciled his past enough to have confidence in his present. He’s bold and never short of giving his all, but to know he acknowledges this living on extended time and has a unique appreciation for the cornerstones around him gives you calm again.

Bakugou truly is your hero– who you know will drop everything to make sure he protects what’s closest to him first and foremost.

When you sniffle and lick at the corner of your mouth, it still tastes sour and you finally register a pang of self awareness. You have to smell foul talking so close to him right now.

“I shoulda thought about gum or something..-sorry.”

“Would you stop,” Bakugou droned, taking out your insufficient ponytail now that you finally seemed settled, “I’m with you just about every morning the second you wake up, and I don’t give a fuck.”

Sweetly you silently thank his efforts with a sweet nod to how he put the hairtie back on his wrist. “Still, don’t mean to make it your problem.”

The hint of a smirk starting to come back to his face, you couldn’t completely eradicate his worry with one little bat of the eyes.

“You are my problem. One I’m happy to fix up when I break it. We’ll get you freshened up when you’re ready. And only when you’re ready.”

You notice your position now on the floor of this bathroom and find it endearing how he managed full cuddle mode in such limited space. Surely the locked door was the straw that secured this.

But the knock was sure to halt it–

“Hey man, leave them alone!-”

“Um, hey ‘Joynamight’?~” Kaminari tested from the other side, “Haven’t heard any hurling in a while, are y’all good?”

“We’ll be GOOD when I SAY WE’RE GOOD!” Bakugou fired back, “HOLD YOUR DAMN HORSES, SPARKPLUG!”

Muting all laughter at the old school rivals was a challenge, but you did so while trying to gracefully detach from your loving partner. He let you with a steadying set of hands to yours to help push yourself up. You offer him steadying arms to pull him back up as well before putting your trashcan back to where it belonged.

A rinse of your mouth later, you fan your face as best you could in a last-ditch effort to look like you haven’t been bawling like a baby. While he awkwardly stood to the side to give you a minute, you caught Bakugou thumbing at his waterline, too, with a stiff upper lip to get himself back in business.

Once you rejoined him for a last hug, he readily accepts you with a rush of kisses to your forehead– just how you like it. It’s the mushiest he gets with you physically– guaranteed to get you back to your happy-go-lucky self. Once done, he smirks back at you pleased, petting your hair perfectly back into place.

“You good?”

“I’m good~”

“OKAY, WE’RE GOOD, SHITTY HAIR!”

“Hey I was the one tellin’ him to lay off you guys!!”

“YEAH AND I CAN HEAR YOU SNICKERING FROM HERE.”

“Damn, for a guy with hearing loss, he sure can pick you out pretty well-”

Bakugou finally swings the door open, pissy as usual, “I HEARD THAT!!”

While Kirishima and Kaminari jog on, Bakugou pockets his hands and holds back for you. Once you exit, you figure you better brave a trip to the kitchen and make a round 2 of breakfast.

“Something easy, ok?” he warns gently.

“I will. Won’t go fainting on ya~”

Knowing you’ll be on the roads later, Bakugou will impress a stable diet on you more than most.

“And no coffee.”

“Well, tie my hands completely, why doncha, Dynamight?” you sigh dramatically in the doorway.

He takes your chin in a bossy move, “Hey- m’lookin’ out for you, dummy.”

He sounds gruff and looks like he means it in the coolest of ways… but you hear everything in between the fussy brows and piercing eyes:

I care about you-

I’m sorry-

I know you’re this way because of me-

Never again-

Find me if you need me-

I love you- I love you- I love you-

“I know you are, Blasty~”

“UGH, she’s still calling me that shit too?!” Bakugou recoils further, shooting daggers down to the Tech Room, where he knows Hatsume is the one who fed you that old nickname.

You giggle as he stomps away, but he still throws back a last threat that you need to drink a fucking water before you go the fuck anywhere.

Love and Liabilities: Chapter Four (Agatha Harkness x Fem!Reader)

Summary: As you prepare for the impending trial and attempt to find ways to relieve your stress, the biggest stressor in your life has a funny way of showing up when you least expect it.

Word Count: 2.3k

A/N: Lawyer!Agatha is back after a little hiatus! This is a bit of a shorter chapter to get me back into writing after a few months. I’m hoping to be updating a bit more regularly but I’m (sadly) growing even more busy & stressed, so I promise to do the best I can! As always I hope you enjoy, and thank you so much for reading! Please feel free to let me know what you think. My asks/dm’s are always open!

Tag List: @chiar4anna @harknessshi @neverfindmegone @aggieslittleslut @ris-ris-mind @tr333sus @sabstance-blog

Present Day

The whooshing of the wind in your ears combined with the cool air filling your lungs fueled you to increase your pacing as you ran through the deserted park. It had been nearly a week since you reunited with Agatha, and your brain had been hellbent on torturing you ever since. Nothing could take your mind off the infuriating attorney, not even work. You had spent the past few days pouring over every word in the various documents Agatha presented during the pretrial conference, hoping to find something, anything really, to solidify your case.

It was times like this when you missed working in corporate law. Although you had only been a junior attorney at Stark & Strange, you had unlimited access to paralegals and attorneys at your disposal. Unfortunately, working for the government meant not only taking a significant pay cut, but also limiting your outsourcing. You didn’t regret your decision to leave the firm, but you’d be lying if you said you didn’t miss the perks.

Since burying yourself in piles of work proved useless, your only real escape from Agatha came from running. The familiar burning sensation began to fill your lungs as your body begged for a break, but you forced yourself to continue. Your legs felt heavier than when you first started, and as you rounded the corner of the trail you had to work twice as hard to not slow down. Even though you were growing tired, the rush of endorphins was a welcome change from the haunting memory of searing blue eyes burning holes into your own.

Agatha would be far too pleased to learn how much of your time and energy was being wasted trying to forget her. However, being the soul sucking succubus she was, you wouldn’t be surprised if she was already aware of the pain she was causing. A swell of anger suddenly overtook you, a feeling you had long grown familiar with when thinking of her, and you used it to finish the final stretch of your run. The thudding of your feet on the pavement along with the loud thumping of your heartbeat acting as a painful reminder of the woman you so desperately wanted to rid yourself of.

Swirls of scarlet, orange, and yellow painted the Manhattan skyline as the sun gradually rose over the city, and the quiet beeping of your phone from your back pocket signaled the end of your run. Nearing the end of the trail, you slowed your pace down to a steady walk, allowing yourself to do some breathing exercises in the process whilst checking your email. It was early enough in the morning that there wasn’t much for you to go through, but you knew it was bound to be yet another busy day.

You had timed your run to give yourself just enough time to head back to your apartment to get ready for the day and get to the office before the rest of your colleagues. The stress of the looming trial was becoming overwhelming, and you had to be prepared for whatever chaos Agatha would inevitably throw at you. Unfortunately that meant you were working nearly double the amount of hours than normal.

Luckily you were able to take a quick shower, find clean clothes in the back of your closet, and managed to get to work before anyone else had arrived. You would hopefully have an hour or two to yourself before you were eventually interrupted, and you intended to use every last possible second you could. As you strolled the corridor, you were tempted to stop to make yourself a coffee, but decided to get settled before adding caffeine to this situation.

Absentmindedly dropping your bag to the floor after you entered your office, you refocused your attention on reading a memo that one of your colleagues had left for you. Making mental notes of what needed to be addressed, you turned to open the blinds when you stopped dead in your tracks at what was in front of you.

Agatha Harkness sat in an armchair in the corner of your office, an amused expression painting her face. You nearly fell over at the sight of her, how did she get in here? The door was locked when you had arrived, wasn’t it?

Agatha, unaware of your current inner ramblings, took a sip of her coffee before repositioning herself, recrossing her legs as she gave you a disappointed look. “Your lack of situational awareness is truly astonishing. I could have been a murderer.”

Adrenaline continued to course through your body as your heart thumped loudly in your chest. Taking a deep breath, you ignored her sarcastic remarks as you leaned against your desk, attempting to calm down.

“What-what the hell are you doing in here?” You spluttered out, unsuccessfully trying to regain your composure.

The attorney frowned, as if that was an absurd question. “This is your office, is it not? I wasn’t sure at first, but the withering plants were a bit of a giveaway.”

Typical Agatha. They weren’t dying, were they? You made a mental note to ask your paralegal to water them a bit more.

Ignoring the jab, you took another deep breath, your body still on edge. “Do I even want to know how you got in here?”

Taking a moment to think over your words, she shook her head. “No. Now drink your coffee before the ice melts.”

It was then that you noticed the untouched cup of iced coffee on the edge of your desk. Narrowing your eyes at it, you gave her a suspicious glance. “How do I know you didn’t poison it?”

Agatha rolled her eyes, as if that was the most ridiculous thing to ask her and she didn’t just break into your office. “Honestly, dear. You’re far too paranoid this early in the morning. Drink. We both know how irritable you are without caffeine.”

When you refrained from grabbing the cup, Agatha huffed, her stormy blue eyes swirling in annoyance as she rose from her seat. Taking a step towards you until your legs were nearly touching, she snatched the cup, the silence in the room disrupted by the clanking sound of the ice swirling in the cup. Hovering over you, she used her free hand to grab yours, the soft feel of her touch briefly taking you back to a time where it would have been more welcomed.

Your breath hitched as the rich, musky scent of her expensive perfume washed over you, and you fought the temptation to look into her eyes. How many times had you found yourself in this exact same position with her, you mused lightly as your brain attempted to regain its ability to function. Agatha’s fingers intertwined with yours, as she leaned in even closer, her lips grazing your jawline and you closed your eyes, fighting against the urge to lean into her touch.

Clearing your throat, you shook your head. “No. This can’t happen again.”

Agatha pulled back, her eyebrows slightly raised. “What can’t happen again?”

Giving her a pointed look, you tried to ignore the feel of her fingers still interwoven with your own. “I don’t think we need to relive that mistake, do we?”

“Oh I don’t know about that,” Agatha replied, swishing the cup of iced coffee as she lifted it up. “I seem to recall you rather enjoying yourself during that mistake, or was that someone else who pulled me into a closet and jumped me?”

“I did not jump you! You’re the one who came onto me,” you hissed as your irritation grew exponentially.

“Easy, tiger,” Agatha teased, raising the cup until the straw was nearly touching your lips. “I see the caffeine withdrawal is already kicking in.”

“Agatha…” you trailed off, ignoring your brain protesting that this would hurt even more than your last encounter.

Dropping your hand, Agatha gently cupped your jaw, tilting your head upwards until you were forced to meet her eyes.

“Sip,” Agatha murmured, raising the cup once more to your lips.

Her words were soft, but you both knew it wasn’t a request as much as a command. A part of you knew this was a mistake, that you couldn’t give into her yet again after being strong for so long. But then you looked into her eyes and found yourself getting lost in the fiery intensity she always seemed to carry. Logic and reason held no weight against the pleasure that was being at the mercy of Agatha Harkness.

Wrapping your lips around the straw, you lightly sucked, savoring the creamy, cold taste of the iced coffee on your tongue. Agatha’s eyes darkened at the sight; using one hand to brush your hair behind your shoulders while the other remained glued to your jaw, fingers brushing lightly against your skin.

“Good girl,” Agatha quietly praised, running her fingers through your hair, tugging lightly at the loose strands.

As you released the straw from your mouth, Agatha set the cup down, tightening her grip on your hair before capturing your lips in a kiss. Her lips were warm and gentle against your own, but it wasn’t long before she began nipping on your lower lip, biting down harder when you let out a whine. Moving forward, she pressed herself fully against you, while you instinctively wrapped your arms around her waist. Her tongue expertly sought out your own, and it felt like she was trying to get every drop of coffee from your mouth.

Panting, you were the first to break the kiss, tilting your head as Agatha proceeded to pepper persistent kisses down your jawline, each leaving you more breathless than the last.

“Agatha…” you whimpered, the last bit of self control slipping away even as you tried to hold onto it. “We can’t do this again.”

The attorney chuckled softly against your skin, tickling you ever so slightly in the process. She took a moment to look up at you then, with her ever blue eyes hazy with want and perfectly swollen red lips, and you remembered a moment in time where this had been easier. It was almost too easy to forget the pain of the past when she looked at you in that special way; as if she saved those intimate, sweet glances just for you. You used to believe you were able to bring out a different side of her than the rest of the world saw; that you understood who she was at her core.

Having her here now made the whole situation even worse than you previously remembered. It complicated things, and if there was one thing you hated more than anything, it was unnecessary complications. You found it difficult to remember the seemingly obvious reasons why you left her all those years ago when she was standing within your reach; the light that once dimmed in her eyes was once again ablaze. Gone were the demons of the past, in its place was the woman you had once fallen in love with.

Unfortunately, you were snapped out of your thoughts as you heard chatter from the hallway; your colleagues had arrived for the day. Agatha’s head tilted at the sound, and the moment was broken as she took a step back.

Clearing her throat, she folded her arms across her chest. “I was hoping you had given more thought to dropping the case, that’s why I dropped by.”

Annoyance took over any feelings of longing that had been threatening to emerge, and you frowned. “You do realize that this could be perceived as intimidation, right? That on top of trespassing could mean you potentially lose any upper hand in this trial that you believe you possess.”

Agatha fully cackled, which only served to enrage you further. She picked up a few files that she must have previously set on the desk. “You always were so full of pride and ambition, dear. I’m not surprised to see it still has a hand in clouding your judgment. It’s a pity. I always thought you had a lot of potential.”

Flabbergasted, you shook your head. You should have known better. Only Agatha would be capable of attempting to manipulate you over your shared past to better serve her motive. Shoving past her, you finally opened the blinds to your office, the once sunny morning replaced with dark gray skies as rain furiously poured down. As you turned around to tell Agatha to get out, you were unsurprised to find she was already gone. Typical.

Settling down at your desk, you opened your laptop and started going through your checklist for the day when you noticed something on the edge of your desk; a file folder. You quickly realized Agatha must have left it behind by accident, which was strange; it wasn’t like her to do something like that. It was unclear what drove you to opening the file, but looking back you’d blame it on your own morbid curiosity. Inside there were over a dozen pages of what appeared to be hospital records for two people, one being Wanda Maximoff.

As you settled in to read, your eyes drifted to the neglected iced coffee. A part of you wanted to throw it away, but the caffeine driven side of your brain led you to grab it. After all, it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Flipping the page over as you sipped, you paused as you actually tasted the coffee for the first time without distraction.

This is your exact coffee order. Iced coffee, extra ice, one pump of vanilla and a splash of oatmilk. After all of these years she still remembered, remembered it perfectly.

You weren’t sure why you hated that as much as you did, but it burns in your mind as you keep reading and drinking, trying to wash her taste out of your mouth.

Chapter 1

Ito: Investigation request?

Yuzuru: The details are not set in stone yet, but it’s still a wide-scope investigation, so I think it’ll be a long-term case.

Each time we receive specific instructions from the client, for example, "This time, I want you to investigate this matter," we investigate and submit a report. As soon as we receive further instructions, we start another investigation...

As the process is repeated, it feels more like a "multiple repeats of non-serial case" rather than a long-term case.

Although there were relatively many opportunities to take on such cases, we haven't had a chance to have Yashiro-san involved with it yet.

Yuzuru: The investigation request that has no involvement with the case handled by Simulation Dept. or Watchdog Dept. and is purely investigation-only, will fall under the responsibility of ST Dept.

Yuzuru: However, when the content is not appropriate for Aporia to take on, we have to outsource from external company or individual, like an investigation agency, detective agency, or someone who is a professional or well-informed in that field and is well-versed in a particular subject,

Yuzuru: When the mediation for that is necessary, The Negotiation Dept. or Sei-san will be in charge.

Ito: Negotiation Dept.….and Sei-san instead of Administrative Dept.?

Yuzuru: Sei-san had been in the Negotiation Dept. even before the Administrative Dept. was established.

Ito: Really?

Yuzuru: As a result, there are still a few contractors that Sei-san is the liaison for.

Ito: (I see, a former member of the Negotiation Dept... Now that you mention it, it's strange that I never imagined it before when he looks perfectly fit in.)

Yuzuru: But this time, it's a little different from either of those patterns.

Ito: It's neither going to be handled by the ST Dept. nor will it be outsourced...?

Yuzuru: This one will be handled by Main Office, and the appropriate staff will be selected each time to carry out the investigation, regardless of department.

It's not that we won't get any outside help, but we'll have Aporia members take action as much as possible.

Ito: (I see. Not a matter of a specific department, but rather Aporia as a whole.)

Yuzuru: I would like Yashiro-san to assist with the investigation as a dedicated support staff member and be there each time the staff is changed.

However, I don't think that you will need to solely focus on that job in the future..

Basically, I would like you to continue what you have been doing. Regular duties, helping out with the cafe business, and responding to needs from each department for special requests. I will entrust these duties to you.

Ito: I understand. The person in charge of overseeing the entire request is... Kise-san, right?

Yuzuru: Nope. It's Ai-san.

Ito: Ohh……

At Kise-san's words, I turned my eyes towards the desk of the person who was working silently. He was probably reading some documents or reports, but his gaze, which was fixed on the tablet in front of him, was finally directed towards me.

Ai: The client this time is "ANC".

Ito: !

ANC - Anonymous Client. A special client, other than the person in charge affiliated with Aporia, all information regarding that person will be kept secret. I've heard about it, but I've never been involved.

Ai: I handle all communication with the other party, and give instructions to the staff in charge depending on the matter of each investigation. Feel free to share what I've just explained with everyone.

Yuzuru: Yashiro-san, can I ask you a favor? You can send it on Chattas's general channel.

Ito: Okay. Just to be sure, could you please check the wording?

Yuzuru: Of course. I'll be helping out in the kitchen, so I think I'll be back by 2pm at the latest. Feel free to call me out anytime after that.

I wonder if there is anything else I should tell you…... Ai-san?

Ai: It doesn't have to be now, but you should tell her about the staff code first.

Yuzuru: Okay. I'll take the time to explain that in detail before the investigation begins.

Ito: ?

Yuzuru: In documents and reports related to ANC cases, we have a rule that we use a set number instead of the name of the staff member in charge. That’s the "staff code."

Ito: Staff code...

Yuzuru: Yes. We try not to leave information about "who is which number" on documents, whether electronic or paper. Yashiro-san will eventually have to remember them...

From number 13 onwards, it's mostly in order of years of employment, so it's easy to follow.

Ito: As for numbers 12 and below, they are a different story, right?

Yuzuru: Haha… Actually, this format wasn't here right from the beginning, it was introduced after Ai-san came to Aporia.

For the 12 members who were here at that time, despite not being an original member, Mao's number is very low, meanwhile Sei-san’s number is all the way at the back, even though he has been here since the beginning.

Well, Roka-san and Kiho-san are exceptions, since their numbers were decided by drawing lots.

Ito: Lottery?

Ai: It's Roka, what's new?

Ito: (Always full of fun ideas...)

Yuzuru: But it's not something we use that often, so it's fine to ask if you don't know.

Anyway, I'll give you a rundown shortly after..

Ito: Okay. Thank you.

Ai: By the way, Yashiro. Do you have plans tomorrow night?

Ito: No. I'm free after working hours.

Ai: There’s a tentative reservation for Yuki-san at 9pm. It seems that he has something to discuss with you.

Ito: Yuki-san?

Yuzuru: !

Ai: I'll contact him to confirm the reservation if it’s at your convenience. Are there any problems?

Ito: Ah, no. No problem, sir. I'll be there.

Ai: Got it.

Until you’re done with him, you’re still considered working. You can wrap up your work at the regular time, just don't clock out at the usual time.

Ito: (Aside from the fact that this is a good standing company…. What he said about treating it like work……...)

Is Yuki-san here to request a proxy service?

Ai: No, but it's still a related matter. You can ask him for more details.

Ito: …..? Understood.

(What does he mean…... Well, guess I'll find out tomorrow.)

Yuzuru: ... If there are no other questions, that’s all for today’s meeting. I'm sorry for taking up your time right after you arrived at work.

Ito: It’s okay, thank you.

Yuzuru: Please keep up the good work.

Shortly after, I saw off Kise-san as he headed towards the store before turning off sleep mode on my computer.

Ito: (Well... I should start by writing the text now.)

I was appointed as the acting owner through a strange coincidence. Several in-store duties, the work I gradually took over from Kise-san, helping with the cafe business, and my ever first dress-up event. As I worked frantically on the tasks at hand, I realized that a fair amount of time had passed since I started working at Aporia. The hours I spent working at this office had completely become a part of my daily routine.

Ito: (At one point, I wondered what would happen after I came here...)

The day after my interaction with him….. I was a little stiff when I arrived at work, but Kosaka-san still greeted me and started working as usual. After that, he never brought up that subject again. Not even once, up until this day.

Ito: (He didn't change his attitude in any strange way, and as time passed, we naturally became more comfortable with each other…. Maybe that sounds a bit misleading.)

(He never looked at me in a negative way, rejected me, or left me alone. He treated me normally as a subordinate, and no matter how I look at it, he treated me even better than usual...)

( I'm starting to wonder now if that moment was just a dream…..)

Suddenly, Kosaka-san's phone rang.

Ai: Good morning.

Yes, I'll be at the office all day today.……………Now? I don’t mind.

The members working at the cafe are Ukyo, Kanno, Kamiya, and Nina. It’s the usual three minus Roka here.

Ito: …….

Ai: You’re the same as ever. Aren’t you the one who always asks which members are present?

Yes. That's fine…. Huh? ……………………Ask her yourself.

Yashiro.

Ito: ! Yes.

I've taken over, Yashiro speaking.

Riku: "Oh, Yashiro? Good morning."

Riku: I came to Shibuya for work so I thought I'd pop in. While I was on my way, I was drawn in by the smell of coffee.

Ito, a latte and a black coffee, which would you prefer?

Maximize Efficiency and Cut Costs with Expert Accounting Outsourcing

Unlocking Efficiency and Growth Through Accounting Outsourcing

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, organizations of all sizes—especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—are turning to accounting outsourcing as a strategic solution to streamline operations, enhance financial accuracy, and reduce costs. As financial regulations grow more complex and the need for real-time data becomes more pressing, outsourcing accounting functions offers a reliable path toward better control and long-term business growth.

What is Accounting Outsourcing?

Accounting outsourcing refers to the process of delegating financial tasks such as bookkeeping, payroll, tax preparation, and financial reporting to third-party service providers. These providers, often made up of certified accountants and finance professionals, use specialized knowledge and tools to manage accounting activities off-site. Rather than hiring and maintaining an in-house accounting team, businesses can access these services as needed, paying only for what they use.

Key Benefits of Accounting Outsourcing

1. Cost Savings One of the primary drivers for accounting outsourcing is the reduction in operational costs. Hiring full-time, in-house accounting professionals comes with salaries, benefits, training, and infrastructure costs. Outsourcing allows businesses to convert these fixed costs into variable ones, paying only for the services required. This is particularly beneficial for startups and growing businesses that need to manage resources carefully.

2. Access to Expertise Outsourcing gives businesses access to a team of skilled accountants with deep expertise in local regulations, tax laws, and financial best practices. These professionals stay updated with the latest industry changes, ensuring that your business remains compliant and avoids costly errors. This level of expertise might be out of reach for many small companies if they were to hire individually.

3. Focus on Core Business Delegating accounting responsibilities frees up time and mental space for business owners and their teams to focus on core activities such as product development, sales, and customer service. When accounting outsourcing is in place, financial accuracy and reporting no longer need to be a daily worry, allowing leadership to concentrate on strategic growth.

4. Improved Accuracy and Compliance Outsourced accounting providers rely on advanced tools and established processes to maintain high levels of accuracy. They also ensure that all financial records and tax filings comply with legal standards. Mistakes in accounting can lead to audits, penalties, or damage to your business's reputation—risks that can be greatly reduced with the help of experienced professionals.

5. Scalability and Flexibility Accounting needs often change as a business grows. During peak seasons, audits, or expansion, the workload may increase significantly. Accounting outsourcing offers the flexibility to scale services up or down as needed, providing the agility necessary to support business evolution without the overhead of hiring or training new staff.

Types of Services Commonly Outsourced

Bookkeeping: Daily financial transactions, ledgers, and reconciliations.

Payroll Processing: Wage calculations, tax withholdings, and employee benefits.

Tax Preparation and Planning: Filing returns and strategizing to minimize liabilities.

Financial Reporting: Monthly, quarterly, or annual reports and analysis.

Accounts Payable and Receivable Management: Invoicing, collections, and payments.

These services can be tailored to the specific needs of each business, whether they are just starting out or already established in the market.

Is Accounting Outsourcing Right for You?

If your business is experiencing rapid growth, struggling with financial management, or spending too much time on back-office operations, accounting outsourcing may be a viable solution. It’s especially ideal for small business owners who wear many hats and cannot afford the time or errors that come with DIY accounting.

Choosing the Right Outsourcing Partner

When selecting an accounting outsourcing provider, consider the following:

Experience and Qualifications: Look for firms with a proven track record and certified professionals.

Technology and Tools: Ensure they use modern accounting software that integrates with your systems.

Security Protocols: Since sensitive financial data is involved, strong data protection measures are essential.

Communication: Choose a provider that offers clear, consistent communication and reporting.

Customization: The ability to tailor services to your unique business model is crucial.

Final Thoughts

Accounting outsourcing is no longer just a trend—it’s a strategic necessity for businesses aiming to remain competitive, agile, and financially sound. By leveraging the expertise and efficiency of outsourced professionals, companies can enhance their financial clarity, reduce errors, and position themselves for sustainable growth.

For businesses seeking smarter, scalable solutions, embracing accounting outsourcing might just be the game-changer they need.

Unleashing Precision in Logistics: The Power of Track and Trace Monitoring

In the fast-paced world of logistics, where accuracy and efficiency are paramount, the integration of cutting-edge technologies is revolutionizing operations. This blog delves into the realm of TRACK AND TRACE MONITORING, explores the benefits of Back Office Business Process Outsourcing, and examines the role of Command Logistics Services in elevating the logistics landscape.

1. TRACK AND TRACE MONITORING: Precision at Every Stage

Understanding Track and Trace Monitoring:

TRACK AND TRACE MONITORING is a sophisticated system that provides real-time visibility into the movement and location of shipments throughout the supply chain. Leveraging technologies like RFID and GPS, logistics providers can monitor, track, and optimize the entire logistics process.

Key Benefits of Track and Trace Monitoring:

Enhanced Visibility: Real-time tracking ensures that stakeholders have accurate information on the status and location of shipments at any given moment.

Improved Efficiency: Proactive identification of potential delays allows for swift corrective actions, reducing the risk of disruptions.

Customer Satisfaction: Transparency in tracking builds trust with customers, providing them with the ability to monitor their shipments independently.

2. Back Office Business Process Outsourcing: Driving Efficiency

The Role of Back Office Business Process Outsourcing (BPO):

In the logistics domain, Back Office BPO is a strategic move to delegate non-core tasks to specialized service providers. This allows logistics companies to focus on core competencies while ensuring that essential back-office functions, such as data entry, documentation, and record-keeping, are handled with precision.

Advantages of Back Office BPO in Logistics:

Cost Efficiency: Outsourcing back-office tasks reduces operational costs, allowing businesses to allocate resources more strategically.

Error Reduction: Skilled professionals in Back Office BPO ensure accuracy in data entry and documentation, minimizing the risk of errors.

Scalability: As logistics operations expand, Back Office BPO services can scale to accommodate increased demands seamlessly.

3. Command Logistics Services: Orchestrating Seamless Operations

The Significance of Command Logistics Services:

Command Logistics Services involve centralized control and coordination of logistics operations. This includes overseeing various aspects, such as route planning, resource allocation, and responding to real-time challenges.

Key Features of Command Logistics Services:

Centralized Control: Command logistics centres serve as the nerve centres, providing a centralized view of the entire logistics network.

Dynamic Decision-Making: Real-time data analytics enable quick decision-making, optimizing routes and resources for efficiency.

Adaptability: Command logistics services can adapt swiftly to changing conditions, ensuring operations remain agile and responsive.

4. The Synergy of TRACK AND TRACE, Back Office BPO, and Command Logistics

By integrating TRACK AND TRACE MONITORING with Back Office BPO and Command Logistics Services, logistics companies can achieve a harmonious and efficient operation. The synergy of these elements ensures a streamlined, transparent, and responsive logistics network that meets the demands of the modern supply chain.

Conclusion: Transforming Logistics through Precision and Efficiency

In conclusion, the amalgamation of TRACK AND TRACE MONITORING, Back Office Business Process Outsourcing, and Command Logistics Services heralds a new era in logistics management. Precision, efficiency, and adaptability become the pillars of success, empowering logistics providers to meet the challenges of today's dynamic supply chain landscape head-on. As the logistics industry evolves, embracing these technological advancements ensures a competitive edge and elevates the standards of service delivery.

Simplifying Payroll with Brain Hunters Malaysia: A Smarter Recruitment Approach

In today’s fast-paced and highly competitive business landscape, managing payroll efficiently is no longer a back-office function—it is a strategic necessity. For companies in Malaysia striving to stay agile and compliant, choosing the right recruitment company that also understands payroll intricacies is essential. This is where Brain Hunters Malaysia steps in—not only as a trusted Recruitment Agency in Malaysia but as a full-service partner that simplifies complex processes from talent acquisition to payroll management.

Why Payroll Matters More Than Ever

In Malaysia, payroll management extends far beyond issuing monthly salaries. Employers must navigate statutory deductions, EPF contributions, SOCSO compliance, tax submissions (PCB), and evolving labour regulations. These responsibilities demand accuracy, local expertise, and strict adherence to deadlines.

For many businesses—especially SMEs and growing enterprises—handling payroll in-house is time-consuming, costly, and prone to errors. Late submissions, miscalculations, or non-compliance can result in penalties, loss of employee trust, and reputational damage.

Brain Hunters Malaysia: Beyond Just Recruitment

Unlike traditional hiring firms, Brain Hunters Malaysia offers a holistic approach. As a leading Recruitment Firm Malaysia businesses rely on, our scope extends well beyond talent sourcing. We bridge the gap between hiring the right candidates and managing them efficiently post-placement.

By integrating payroll services into our recruitment solutions, we enable organisations to focus on strategic growth while we take care of the operational burdens.

Tailored Payroll Solutions for Every Business Size

Whether you're a multinational company or a homegrown SME, our payroll outsourcing solutions are tailored to meet your unique needs. As a trusted Recruitment Agency in Malaysia, we understand that no two businesses are alike. Our consultants assess your workflow, compliance risks, and employee structures before designing a payroll solution that fits.

We handle:

Monthly salary processing

Statutory deductions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB)

Payslip distribution

Payroll reporting and auditing

Year-end tax filings (EA Forms, CP8D)

Claims and allowances

Overtime calculations

This means no more manual calculations, no more missed deadlines, and no more compliance guesswork.

Integration with Staffing and Contract Management

Our commitment as a reliable recruitment company goes further with seamless integration of payroll into our temporary and contract staffing services. Many businesses in Malaysia now prefer flexible employment models to manage costs and seasonal demands. However, managing payroll for contract staff can be complex.

Brain Hunters Malaysia ensures:

Contract staff are paid accurately and on time

Tax and benefit obligations are fully managed

Clients stay compliant with Malaysia’s Employment Act and local regulations

This integrated solution is especially valuable for industries like retail, manufacturing, logistics, and IT, where contract-based roles are on the rise.

Key Advantages of Outsourcing Payroll with Brain Hunters Malaysia

1. Compliance Without Stress

Keeping up with Malaysia’s statutory changes, such as updates to SOCSO or EPF rates, can be burdensome. As your Recruitment Firm Malaysia partner, we remain up-to-date on all legal requirements so your business always stays compliant.

2. Cost Efficiency

Hiring an in-house payroll team requires investment in software, training, and manpower. By outsourcing to a professional recruitment company, you eliminate hidden costs and gain access to a skilled team without the overhead.

3. Confidentiality and Accuracy

Payroll involves sensitive data. At Brain Hunters Malaysia, we operate with strict confidentiality protocols and cutting-edge systems to ensure every payroll run is error-free and secure.

4. One-Stop Recruitment and HR Partner

You don’t have to juggle multiple vendors for hiring, onboarding, payroll, and workforce management. As a full-spectrum Recruitment Agency in Malaysia, we provide end-to-end HR solutions under one roof.

Case Study: Helping a Local Tech Company Scale with Ease

A Malaysian tech startup approached Brain Hunters Malaysia to assist with rapid hiring for software developers and project managers. With limited HR capacity, they also needed support in setting up a compliant payroll structure.

We delivered:

Targeted candidate sourcing and placement

Payroll setup with EPF/SOCSO/PCB registration

Monthly payroll processing and statutory submissions

Leave and claims tracking

The result? A fully operational team in under 30 days—with zero compliance issues and minimal HR overhead for the client.

What Makes Brain Hunters Malaysia Different?

At our core, we are more than just a recruitment company—we are partners in your growth journey. Our team combines local labour law expertise with hands-on experience in Malaysia’s dynamic employment landscape.

We bring value through:

Customised HR and payroll systems for different industries

Strong relationships with local regulatory bodies

Real-time support for HR and payroll queries

Transparent pricing without hidden charges

Our ability to deliver integrated staffing and payroll solutions is why many clients consider us among the top Recruitment Agency in Malaysia for reliability and service excellence.

Designed for Malaysian Businesses, Backed by Local Expertise

We understand Malaysian work culture, regulatory environments, and employer expectations. Whether you're expanding in Klang Valley, setting up in Penang, or hiring across Johor, Brain Hunters Malaysia is your dependable local HR partner.

Our payroll services are designed to comply with Malaysian laws and tax systems—giving our clients peace of mind and freeing up time to focus on business innovation.

Let’s Simplify Your Payroll Together

With the right Recruitment Firm Malaysia by your side, managing payroll doesn't have to be a burden. Let Brain Hunters Malaysia help you streamline your operations, stay compliant, and improve employee satisfaction—one accurate payslip at a time.
