Obsessed with this gif from @yungbludz 🤩!😍!
Hi hello💘💘!! Sorry it took so long, I hope you like it bestie 💖💗💘
1.7k words
Mention of bodies insecurities, kinda hot at the end (I tried lol)
You really found it funny how much it was actually affecting you. After dating probably the most popular driver on the grid for more than five years, comments about you came and go daily. There were many good ones, but also bad, and you would be lying if you said they didn’t affect you. Truth was your mental health was in serious risk for the first year of dating him, and your relationship almost ended (twice) because of them. 
But love conquers all, and Lewis made you feel loved, made you feel pretty. He also made you promised you would never read those comments again, you also promised yourself you would never let simple words affect you that way, not only to you, but also to your relationship with him or with anyone.
And everything went smoothly, the last three days were actually the first weekend you went to the paddock after having your beautiful baby girl Eloise, two months ago. 
She was the joy of the house, a true sunshine, so similar to his dad it made you love and hate him at the same time.
“I want her to look like me too!” you jokingly ‘fought’ watching in owe how she simply slept. Lewis just laughed softly throwing his arm around your shoulders, trying not to wake her up but also trying to make you smile 
“I’m sure she’ll get your intelligence” Carmen, Lewis’s mum said. She was there helping you get adapt, and you couldn’t be more thankful to have her. 
“I really hope she does, if not, we’re screwed” you talked while getting up, and now it was Lewis the one who acted ‘mad’ between yours and his mum laughs.
It was the only thing you could think about on your way home, your little girl. Lewis was asleep next to you, his head resting on your shoulder even thought he had a whole bed in that private jet. Who were you trying to fool? You loved feeling him close anyways. 
Everything was funnier when he was awake and you could actually use his company, but he really deserved and needed that nap before touching down and going home to that little girl you both loved so much. You, on the other hand, couldn’t fall asleep that easily. It was like a mother instinct, as natural as the Sun: since Eloise was born, you couldn’t relax properly if she wasn’t near. 
But you also couldn’t put your phone down, and after refreshing your socials too many times in the last 5 minutes, there was only one thing to do, the one thing you promised yourself and your lover you would never do.
“Angel” it was Lewis’s voice the one that made you turn off the phone, and only when you saw your reflection in the dark screen, you realised you were actually crying. “Are you okay? You’re trembling and crying” he furrowed his eyebrows only then realising the tears too, cleaning them with his hand and tucking the blanket even more into you.
“I’m fine. I just miss Eloise. Go back to sleep, sorry I woke you up”
“Don’t be sorry” he simply said not wanting to force you to talk if you didn’t want to. “We’ll be there soon” he said again kissing the side of your head and placing your phone away so he could hold your hands under the blanket.
In less than an hour you were home, and tin less than three you were already heading to bed. Lewis was in guard tonight, his excuse was he slept on the plane, you knew  the real reason was he just wanted to spend time with time with her daughter.
“Why aren’t you sleeping already, mommy?” Lewis asked, making you jump in bed from the scared, you didn’t even hear him coming. What you did heard was that nickname Eloise was still too young to pronounce, but each time Lewis did, you felt goosebumps in your whole body.
“I’m just not tired. She’s sleeping already?” You asked not even turning to face him.
“Yes. What about you?” He asked again laying under the covers next to you, placing his arm around your waist, as he always did. But tonight, as soon as you felt his hand on your body, you just moved abruptly, away from him. Lewis could have gotten worried if he didn’t know what was going on. Instead, he sat on the bed, turning on the side lamp on his nightstand and resting his back on the headboard. “YN, I saw the comments you were reading in the plane. You cannot do this to you again”.
Only then you turned around and copied his moves without saying a word. You were in silence, the semi dark room, sitting on bed, he looked at you but you didn’t dare to do the same.
“My body changed” you simply said bringing your knees up to your chest.
“It did” he nodded.
“And I weight so much more, I don’t deserv-" “Weight has nothing to do with beauty. And you deserve the whole World. You gave birth to a baby, YN, our baby. Those comments are useless, it’s not you the one who’s doing things wrong, it’s them, writing those stupid words, they are just words” “But they are true" “And what if they are. Fuck them, YN, honestly. besides, I love it” he said in such a serious tone that it made you smile before he cheekily whispered coming closer to your ear “There’s more to hold”. “Lewis!! You shouted, immediately regretting it as you didn’t want to wake Eloise or Carmen, who was still there. Lewis didn’t mind, he just laughed at your reaction while positioned himself between your knees until you ended up laying on the bed again, but this time with him on top. “Stop it, stop it, stop it” you mumbled between giggles when he started peppering kisses on your whole face.
“You still have that glow in your face” he started whispering tickling your hair behind your ear “it hasn’t gone away since the morning we discovered we were having a baby” he said caressing your face with a leather touch before coming closer again and kiss your lips, holding your face properly while you did the same and melting into it the way you always did. He broke the kiss for a moment to then move his lips to your jaw and then to your neck, touching with his fingers the chain of the necklace he got you when you gave birth, with your baby’s birth date engraved on it “I must admit” he said between kisses “I bought he biggest pendant so we have space for the other babies we’ll have” he confessed.
“Lewis!!” You screamed whispering while hitting his back, which only made him laugh while he came back to kiss your lips messily as you were both laughing. But his hands didn’t stop moving up and down your torso until he reached the hem of your t shirt, silently asking you to take it off, which you did. 
“Don’t even get me started with your boobs” he said looking directly at your eyes, continuing with the list of things he loved about your body. Only when he heard your giggle he seriously added “you know I love your boobs”, making you laugh even harder until he placed his hand on your mouth telling you to keep it quiet so you wouldn’t wake up anyone. You took advantage of his gesture and kissed his fingers while he moved his mouth down to your breasts, you had to stop him when he started sucking them with the right amount of pressure, alternating with kisses, just because you knew you couldn’t keep yourself quiet if he did that.
He kept on going down to your belly, knowing it was your Achilles heel as you couldn’t get rid of the fat and looseness that came with being pregnant. He looked up at your eyes and smiled “the home of Eloise for 9 whole months” he said before moving his mouth down to your belly “I can’t believe you created her here, you are truly a wonder woman” he talked leading wet kisses on your skin while you tried to containing the laugh because it tickled.
You were about to say it was just nature, but he was after in moving his lips up to yours once again in the most caring and sweet way he ever did.
“Let me continue my tour” he chuckled when you wouldn’t let him go away from your lips, thanking him without words for his way of making you feel better, so much better.  
He indeed kept going down, leaving yet another kiss on both sides of your hips, just in the hem of your pyjamas, but keeping them in its place, to them move to your inner tights, sneaking his hands under your body so he could grab your arse, giving your cheeks a squish that made your whole body shiver.
“I’ll choose the stretch marks here” he talked before kissing up and down your tights, leaving some bites here and there that surely would leave a mark in the morning “they are the most accurate evidence there was a baby here, huh?” He talked moving back to kiss your belly. “Besides” he said again and just then a chuckled came out of his lips, alerting you he was going to say another of his nonsense sentences when he aligned his lips with yours once more “I love that you look like a zebra” he rapidly said not letting you talk as he rapidly pressed his lips to yours in a more fierce kiss that still didn’t loose it’s sweetness while you just  tried to laugh.
“Thank you” you sincerely pronounced when he let your lips go, thought he was still on top of you, and your hands were tangled in his hair.
“Thank you for being the best mommy and the best partner one could ever wish for, angel” he whispered before kissing the tip of your nose and moving to his side of the bed, keeping his arm around you, as always.

😅 hello I’m the same person who accidentally thought you did mitsuri or tamayo and I was gonna ask for an Enmu x gn reader maybe they met before mugen train arc and they had liked each other but before they had time to confess he went to the mugen train and when he died he started crying but then hoping to see them again soon (hopefully) idk if you do angst and stuff like this I’m still new to requesting also you don’t have to do this if you don’t like it I totally understand have a good day/n
A/n: I love making angst lol! To me it’s pretty fun because I get to pour my whole heart out into it. Hope you enjoy!

UNTOLD LOVE
Tumblr media
Enmu x Demon Gn!Reader
Category: Angst🥲
Warning: Spoilers to Mugen Train Arc & mentions of death
“I love you so much it hurts…”
Tumblr media
Before Enmu went on his mission at Mugen Train you two were introduced by other demons. When you both saw each other for the first time you could have sworn you felt a jolt in your heart. Enmu was…beautiful. Enchanting.
Time went on and you two would visit each other when you both were free. Spending the nights walking in the moon light talking and laughing. Occasionally, you would see Enmu steal a few glances at you, but never thought anything of it.
Enmu thought you were the most beautiful person on the world. He could just stare at you for a millennium if he wanted to. You were kind and sweet for a demon, the others weren’t like you and you weren’t like them. He loved that about you.
Your fighting style was breath taking and he would always feel his heart do back flips whenever he was near you or talking to you. He loved you and you loved him, but neither of you knew of this.
The day before his next mission you were a nervous bundle of emotions. You didn’t know if Enmu would come back or die, so this made you anxious to the point you almost took the mission. Enmu reassured you he’ll be back before no time.
“I promise, when I get back, I’ll spend every moment with you.” Enmu said as he tucked your hair behind your ears before placing a small yet beautiful flower in it.
“I would like that.” You smiled, plus present on your face. The day had come, the day Enmu would leave tonight and go to the area his mission was in. Enmu had spent all morning and afternoon with you before taking his leave.
You paced back and forth, your mind going haywire. What if he was slayed by one of the demon slayers? You were now even a more nervous reck as a few of the lower demons tried calming you to their best abilities.
When you found out Enmu had died you were crying. Loud cry’s escaped your lips as you clenched hard where your heart was. You loved him so much, he was the only one you truly love, and now he’s gone.
“Why’d you have to go…” You cried into your hands. You spilled your heart out as fat tears streamed down your face. “I love you so much it hurts…” You sobbed, this was true pain for you.
You didn’t know when you would see Enmu again, but you did know you would meet him soon, heaven or hell, you both will be together and happy. A month had passed and that flower Enmu had given you was still in better care.
You held the flower Enmu gave you carefully close to your chest, waiting for the day you two will meet again…

oh my fucking gAWDDDD !!!!
aAUGH i literally just got home after a long trip, been so tired recently w this one shit professor so coming on here and being BLESSED with one of cat's chapters for lda is honestly? a saving grace.
ahem. clears throat
this chapter was scrumptious. no deadass it scratched an itch in my brain that i didn't even know existed, it had to have been hiding in some tiny crevice that i've never EVER been aware of... this entire series as a matter of fact has been a joy to consume and follow. i still remember curiously going into the first chapter aw
maybe it's the cathartic feeling of finally bearing witness to raw intimacy after suffering through a neverending amount of angst—angst and agony that was delivered ASAP with free shipping vouchers to my brain's front doorstep 😭 but goodness me, i loved this chapter. ik at the end cat mentioned it being the hardest to write and honestly? you did amazing!!
it was a stark tone shift especially from other chapters but it was so lovely to finally see such interactions in a stripped down, sexual setting (after god knows how much pining and tension), as well as rindou and reader's conversation in the kitchen. the light banter, the i-love-yous, and the general sugary atmosphere of this chapter genuinely made me wanna cry. bc reader's line from the previous chapter still haunts me, with her admitting that ran and rin had always been her final goal. like shit, this would have been them if the world around them wasn't so fucked. a case of what-ifs and what could have been.
also that mention of hanma. i do not trust it naur i do not trust it whatsoever naur naur naur 🥲 something terrible is gonna happen and I AM NOT MENTALLY STRONG ENOUGH!!! says the psych major
the smut part made me want to vomit all my guts out and sacrifice my organs as a thank-you to the deity who encouraged my birth in the world. i would like to be in a haitani sandwich. i would, in fact, love to be handled like a ragdoll between them until i literally babble when ran says "i love you." aaa AAAA THE WAY I WENT 🫣🤭 WHEN RAN ASKED IF READER EVER DREAMT ABOUT THEM?
i cannot w myself i visited like 3 chapels today as part of tradition, since today is my dad's birthday. 😭 what a crazy way to end my day omg? not complaining though because lda >>>> my life problems
the flashback :((((( it really ties back to all the other chapters. the promises of keeping contact, calling daily. and the dynamic between the three of them? super super bittersweet and that's what's so good about it. the contrast of the flashback dialogue to the present-time dialogue was like a slap of "oh my god this is actually happening despite everything before"
reader and rindou having a soft moment in the kitchen eueueueueuue i cannot describe my happiness or else i will actually vomit violently from the emotions bubbling in my stomach.. the gut wrenching yelling between them last chapter, him interrupting ran and reader the first time, the auction, and the penthouse when reader texted for him to come. finally seeing these two blossom brings me a disgustingly sweet joy that my teeth are rotting from rapid decay
it's saddening to think that lda is almost done? only a couple more chapters left + epilogue and i think this chapter had the final flashback, iirc from one of cat's posts. i could be mistaken tho bc it's currently 10 PM and i don't trust my sleep deprived brain <//3
this chapter destroyed the walls i built extremely high so i will be rereading the other lda chapters while anticipating the next update, why? in order to rebuild said walls aha,, i was alr baited and ruined in the best but worst emotional way possible by happiest year... a girl's gotta protect herself 🥹🥹
okay that's all i think my late night brain regurgitated enough.. i hope at least some of it is coherent to read. signing off tonight with a smile on my face and happy chemicals in my brain

CHAPTER ⅩⅣ. MY ATLANTIS
EIGHT YEARS EARLIER. 
They weren’t supposed to be here. You specifically had not told them when your flight was to avoid this confrontation, you had successfully evaded them for the past two days--since you had told them what you were planning to do--you had thought you had done it, that you had managed to escape Tokyo without having to face them. No matter how much you would have regretted it later, it wasn’t worth risking them convincing you to stay.
And you knew they would be able to if given the chance.
“Hey! We said ‘hold on,’” Ran’s voice was loud, sharp and even though you knew you should keep moving forward, away from them, your body refused to cooperate. You stopped still midstep in the large entrance of the airport, your chest felt heavy and your breath was slow. Everything around you started tunneling. 
You could hear them approaching you from behind, everything except their footsteps and the muttered curses sounded dull and muted. Run, you told yourself, your body was tense, all fight or flight were activated as they drew closer. Run, they won't be able to chase you through security. 
But you couldn’t bring yourself to move. Your feet were glued to the ground and by the time you thought you would be able to bring yourself to move, a hand was already wrapped tight around your wrist, tugging you around. You turned your gaze to the ground, staring at two familiar pairs of shoes in front of you. 
“Well I don’t blame you for not being able to look at us,” Ran said spitefully, his voice somehow both soothing and grating to your ears at the same time, “but I think we deserve to be fully acknowledged, don’t you?”
You tore your gaze up from the floor, reluctantly looking up at them. Your eyes met Ran’s first, catching sight of the livid look in his eyes and the way his jaw was clenched tight. Your gaze darted away, but looking at Rindou was no better--instead of anger, you were faced with a sort of hurt expression that you weren’t quite sure you had ever seen on his face before. 
Guilt weighed heavy on your chest, you felt as if the weight of the sky had been thrown onto your shoulders. Your lips parted to speak but you weren’t even sure what you wanted to say, so you ended up letting out a soft sigh and pressing your lips together again. Ran scoffed, as if he had been expecting you to do that.
“What the fuck, y/n?” Rindou spoke quieter, not as angry as Ran was. You could hear the way it cracked and you could hear the way he strained to get his words out.
“I don’t know what the big deal is,” you finally said, ignoring the fury that washed across Ran’s face at your words. “I told you I’d keep in touch.”
“You don’t know what the big deal is?” Ran hissed as he took another step toward you and your feet wouldn’t cooperate to move away from him, only able to tilt your face up to look up at him. “You only told us what was happening two fucking days ago, and then you avoided us every time we tried to talk to you. You weren’t even going to let us say goodbye.”
You swore the words hit you like knives to the chest. It’s for the best, you tried to convince yourself even though you knew damn well deep down that you were wrong. 
They would have convinced you to stay, the stubborn part of you screamed at the part that wavered under Ran’s words. You know that. Your family. Izana. Mucho. Mister Botan. Nearly Terano. 
Who would be next?
You couldn’t risk it. You couldn’t risk it. 
It was only a matter of time before someone else died, and you wouldn’t let it be them. You had to leave--your uncle had given you two options, attend university to jumpstart the process of your own company or wait to inherit Izanagi. You had to start standing on your own two feet. You had to. Until you were confident that you’d be able to protect them without your uncle’s help, it wasn’t safe for you to be around.
Because even if the curse wasn’t real, you were still a real danger to them. Your uncle was neck deep in Tokyo’s underworld, he made tons of enemies abroad with his aggressive expansionist strategy for Izanagi--you had been targeted just a few months ago as a means to get to him and you couldn’t let Rindou and Ran get caught in the crossfire of that. 
And they wouldn’t understand. You knew they wouldn’t understand. They’d never understand because they didn’t care about their own safety when it came to yours, they’d throw themselves on the blade for you at any given second if it meant you would be safe and you couldn’t let them do that.
They’d tell you to stay, they’d tell you that inheriting Izanagi from your uncle was the best move if it meant that the three of you got to stick together. They’d tell you ‘fuck the danger, we can take anything together’ but you knew you couldn’t. They didn’t even know half of the danger that came along with you and your uncle, and they didn’t understand that just being big delinquents on the streets of Roppongi was not the same as dealing with the ruthless business tycoons and oligarchs that could order their deaths with a wave of their hand and pocket change. 
You didn’t even fully understand it yet, your uncle never was honest when you questioned him about it, he gave you non-answers or diversions, telling you to focus on building a foundation for your company before anything else. 
You couldn’t risk it. You were doing what was right.
“You guys would have tried to convince me to stay,” you finally said, and you hated how your voice cracked, and how you still couldn’t meet either of their eyes. You hated even more how Ran noticed and how his hand shot out to curl around your jaw, tilting your face up to force you to look him in the eye.
“Of course, we would have,” Ran snapped, “We don’t want you to fucking leave-”
“I can’t let you guys hold me back,” your voice was loud as you interrupted him. Ran drew back as if he had been slapped, his hand dropping from your face. Rindou’s lips parted. Your heart sank from your chest to your feet, the air around you felt suffocating. You could feel the eyes of strangers on the three of you, judging. You wanted to swallow your own tongue, you wanted the ground to eat you whole.
“I didn’t mean that,” you said, voice little over a breath as you shook your head, “I didn’t mean that.”
Ran let out a shaky breath, nodding as he took a step away from you, “Yeah,” he agreed, “I bet you didn’t.”
Ran was now the one that couldn’t meet your eyes and your gaze swiveled to Rindou desperately, “Rin,” you tried but Rindou refused to look at you, staring down at the ground in front of him.
“Flight 404 to Munich will begin boarding in thirty minutes,” a woman said over the speakers, the words making your ears ring.
“You should go,” Rindou finally said, “That’s your flight, isn’t it?” 
“Yeah,” Ran spoke as if he was trying to be snide and snappy, but you could tell it was only to try to cover the way your words had struck deep. You could see the hurt swimming in his eyes, the way he swallowed thickly. You could hear the underlying pain in his voice. “Wouldn’t want us to hold you back.”
You shook your head, you could feel tears pooling in your eyes and you tried to force them away because you knew you had no right to cry, “I didn’t mean it like that,” you said again, “I-I have to do this. You don’t understand-”
“Of course, we don’t understand,” Rindou’s voice was sharper than it had ever been with you, your throat squeezed, “We don’t understand because you don’t fuckin’ tell us anything anymore. Help us understand, we want to understand.”
Rindou stared at you, waiting for you to say something but when you stayed silent, he only scoffed. But what the fuck were you supposed to say to them? How could you make them understand that you were doing this for them? For Izana? For the rest of your friends? They would never be able to come to terms with you doing this on your own but you knew them being with you and trying to help would only make things harder on you. 
If you did this alone, you would get it done faster--you’d be able to be with them, and be happy again, sooner. There would be fewer risks to consider, less things for people to try to use against you. 
You would get back to them faster. You were doing the right thing.
“Yeah,” Rindou said when you didn’t speak, sharing a look with Ran that only the two of them could decipher. “That’s what I thought.”
“I-I’m going to school,” you said, and you knew you had to leave. You couldn’t miss your flight, but you didn’t want to leave them--not like this. Why the fuck did they come? “I’m going to school, and when I’m at school, I’m going to be setting up my company. Once everything is settled, I’ll come back--or I’ll even bring you there with me, show you everything. I promise.”
“Why can’t you do that here?” Rindou demanded, taking a step closer to you, “Why the fuck do you have to go across the world to do that?”
“That-” That wasn’t your choice, that was your uncle’s, he was adamant about you going to a foreign university, and he was refusing to help you if you didn’t. And you had a feeling that he wanted you to go across the world to do it because he knew damn well that Rindou and Ran would be distractions. “My uncle-”
“Of course,” Rindou shook his head, there was a smile on his lips that didn’t meet his eyes, “Of fucking course.”
“Stop it,” you said, voice cracking, “I didn’t want this to happen-”
“This was your choice,” Rindou hissed, leaning in so close that it had you dizzy, “Your fucking choice, don’t talk about how you didn’t want this to happen. You chose this.”
“I don’t want to fight,” you said loudly, “I don’t want to fight, why can’t you just believe me when I say I’m doing what’s best? When have I ever-”
“Lied to us? A lot,” Rindou said dryly, and you flinched back.
“When have I ever let you guys down?” you finished quietly and the anger on Rindou’s face faded as he looked back at Ran again, “Please just trust me.”
Neither of them spoke, and you let out another shaky breath, squeezing your eyes shut for a moment to try to push away the tears. Did they not trust you anymore?
Could you blame them?
But then Rindou’s shoulders dropped, he looked away, and you knew he had given in and this time you couldn’t blink back the tears. You let your bag drop to the floor as you moved toward the two of them, burying your face in Rindou’s chest and wrapping your arms around his waist. Neither of them reacted for a moment until you felt Rindou’s hand come up to hold the back of your head, cradling it to his chest, and you bit back a sob as your arms tightened around his waist, trying to bask in his warmth for as long as you could. 
“You promise?” Ran’s voice was hoarse as he finally spoke. You nodded against Rindou but Ran only spoke up again, “Say it.”
“I promise,” you agreed, “I promise, I promise as soon as I can I’ll bring you there with me, I promise.”
Ran inhaled deeply through his nose before tugging you toward him and your arms dropped from Rindou as you flung yourself at Ran, wrapping your arms around his shoulders. He pressed his face into your neck and you tried to ignore how his lashes were wet against your skin. 
“I’m going to miss you guys so much,” you took in a wet breath, body trembling, “So much, so much.”
You could stay there forever wrapped up in their arms--you didn’t care that people were around watching, you didn’t care that this would get back to your uncle and he would be irritated at your little display of emotion, all you cared about was them, and being with them, staying with them. 
You didn’t want to leave. 
“Flight 404 to Munich will begin boarding in twenty minutes.”
The words felt like knives scraping down your bones, dragging you right back to reality. Ran’s arms dropped from around your waist and your feet touched the ground again, standing in front of them. You wiped away the tears as best as you could.
“You’ll call?” Rindou asked quietly, and you dragged your gaze up to meet his, catching the reluctance and the longing thinly veiled beneath his eyes.
“Every day,” you promised, nodding frantically, “Every day.”
“... and you won’t forget about us?” there was something vulnerable in Ran’s voice that you had never quite heard before from him, even with all the years you spent with them. You looked up at him, violet eyes meeting yours, and you shook your head.
“Never,” you said, “Never in a million years. I could never forget about you guys.”
He let out a breath that you didn’t even notice he was holding, nodding his head toward security. “You better go,” he said quietly, “Still gotta get through security.”
And you knew you had to, but you couldn’t get your feet to cooperate, they felt glued to the ground in front of them. “I-I’ll call you while we’re boarding. And when I land. And when I get to campus. And-”
“We get it,” Ran’s lips pulled up into a small smile for the first time in days, weeks maybe. “Go.”
Your fingers trembled at your side, you wrapped your arms around your torso, “I love you guys,” you said, “It’s gonna suck without you.”
Ran glanced back down at the ground.
“We love you too,” Rindou murmured, a strange tone to his voice, “you’ve gotta go. You’re going to miss your flight.”
You nodded, you knew he was right, and it took all your will power to turn around and pick up the bag you dropped. You stood there for a moment, facing the short line to security. And you debated turning back around, taking one last look.
You won’t leave. You knew if you turned around you’d see them standing there, and you knew it was only a matter of time before that strong facade the two of them put up would crumble, and you knew if you saw you wouldn’t be going anywhere, you’d run right back into their arms. 
You shut your eyes briefly before walking toward security, trying your best to take even breaths in and out, trying your best to keep your shoulders from shaking. 
One foot in front of the other, you got this, you thought to yourself as you placed your bag on top of the baggage scanner. You stood there for a moment, lost in your own thoughts until the airport security called out to you sharply, waving you over to the metal detector. 
One foot in front of the other. 
You were doing what was best. 
This was only temporary.
But you couldn’t stop the dark, heavy feeling from settling over you with each step you took away from them. A sort of foreboding feeling that made you think that things would not be as simple as you wanted them to be.
---
PRESENT.  
Relentless. They were absolutely relentless and you could not keep up. Even having expected this from them, it still didn’t prepare you for actually trying to deal with them. They barely even gave you time to speak--one of them would lean in close and ask a question, and the other would hop on top of it to badger you with even more.
“Aw, that’s so adorable, you’ve liked us for that long?”
“Who did you like first? I bet it was me.”
“It was Rindou, wasn’t it? I caught you drooling over him once.”  
“No shit, did you really?”
“He did not-”
“I did, do you remember that night we dragged her to Maharaja?”
“Ran-”
“Really? That night?”
“Mhm.”
“Have you ever had dreams about us?”
You shot Ran a weird look, "Of course I've dreamt about you guys," you said, not entirely sure of what he was getting out, "Don't be stupid."
"No, no," Rindou snorted behind you as Ran spoke. "That's not what I meant."
You stared ahead blankly for a moment, trying to figure out what the question hidden behind his words was, and as soon as it hit you, you swore you wanted to sink into the bed and disappear--the two of them laughing once they realized you had put it together.
You felt like you were on fire as you turned your head to the side to look at Ran, not sure you had heard him correctly, which was evidently a mistake considering how close he was leaning to you. Your breath caught as you tried to lean back away from him but his eyes were alight with a sort of mischief that you hadn’t seen in years as he followed you, unperturbed, only leaning in closer.
His lips were barely a hair’s width from yours and you couldn’t breathe, and you couldn’t move any further back because you had scrambled right back into Rindou, who wrapped an arm loosely around your waist to hold you still. Your eyes flickered down to Ran’s lips, watching as they slowly curled up into a smile that had your blood running hot.
“We’re just curious,” Rindou murmured, and a shiver shot down your spine when his lips brushed your ear, “C’mon, the least you can do is entertain us, yeah?”
And you really stuck between a rock and a hard place because of course you had, you couldn’t control what you dreamt of at night and you had been attracted to them--if you lied, they would know anyway because you knew damn well they’d be able to read right through you. And that would only make it worse on you for trying to hide it from them.
Why were they like this? You wanted to grab them both by the shoulders and shake them, rattle their tiny brains inside their head until they see sense. Now was not the time to be fucking around, now was not the time to be trying to get you flustered and unfooted but you knew from the way they kept sharing looks with each other that they wouldn’t listen. 
“Should we take the silence as a yes, Rindou?” Ran almost giggled as he tilted his head to the side, letting his lips graze your jaw.
“If she’s not gonna admit it, I say we just leave her like this.” Your head snapped to the side at Rindou’s words, eyes meeting his. He raised his eyebrows mockingly, “What? You don’t want that?”
Ran snickered and your breath caught as his lips finally pressed firmly against the underside of your jaw, lips dragging down your neck--slow, wet, heavy--it felt like he was leaving a trail of burns in his wake with each kiss and you just couldn’t think straight. They should not have this much of an effect over you, it was just Rindou and Ran but as you tried to shake your head and tell them just how ridiculous they were being, Rindou’s hands slid down your body, the pads of his fingers pressing against your inner thigh, nudging your thighs apart. 
“Rindou-” you gasped, looking back at him again but you faltered when you noticed the grin on his lips and the way his eyes were lit up. “We shouldn’t, not now-”
You felt Ran’s hand come up to your face as he pulled away from your neck, cupping your cheek softly and forcing you to look at him. His face was more serious than it was previously, and you couldn’t help but hesitate. 
“Relax,” he murmured. “You’re right, and we know we’re not safe yet, but we are right now, even if not for long. This might be our only chance.”
You swallowed thickly, “Don’t say that,” you said quietly, “There’ll be plenty-”
“You know as well as we do that there are no assurances in our line of work, especially in situations like this. For all we know tomorrow we’ll be back on the run,” and your throat felt dry because you knew Ran was right. “We’ve gotta take advantage of moments like this.”
Rindou and Ran shared a look over your shoulder, and you shut your eyes, trying to figure out what to do. You wanted them you’ve always fucking wanted them, but you were scared. And you weren’t even sure why you were scared. They wanted you, you wanted them, it’s something that all of you had wanted for so fucking long and Ran was right, your futures were still uncertain--tonight you were safe, tomorrow might not bring the same assurances. 
With that thought in mind and shaky fingers, you leaned in to press your lips against Ran’s again. Ran let out a surprised hum against yours as if he hadn’t been expecting you to give in that easy, hand sliding down to cup your neck, fingers intertwined with your hair. You brought your own hand down to where Rindou’s was resting on your thigh, moving it back to where it had been on your inner thigh.
Your hands slid up to rest on Ran’s shoulders, nails digging into his skin as he pressed closer to you, tongue darting out to swipe against your bottom lip. Your lips parted on instinct for him, eyes fluttering shut as he pushed his tongue into your mouth, pressing down on yours.
You let out a soft moan into his mouth as Rindou’s fingers slipped down even further, pressing against your clothed cunt before you felt him grab your hips, smiling against your neck. 
“Ran,” he said, and Ran pulled back and you tried to follow him but you faltered, yelping as Rindou lifted your hips off the bed, giving Ran the room to slide your pants off your body before placing you back down on the bed between his legs. You tried to snap your thighs together but Rindou’s hands were back on your thighs in an instant, keeping them spread open. 
“Rin,” you said sharply, eyes wide.
“Relax,” Rindou echoed Ran’s words, and your breath caught as Ran dipped down lower between your legs, soft strands of hair brushing your inner thighs. “Hurry up or we’re switching places.”
“Shut up,” Ran murmured, “wanna take my time with her.”
You swore your heart was in your throat as you watched him, nose grazing the thin cloth of your panties as he pressed a kiss to your inner thigh, Rindou’s fingers digging into your skin to keep you in place. 
“Yeah, well, I want a taste too,” Rindou’s voice was irritated, muffled against your skin.
Ran rolled his eyes, “You’ll get your taste, stop bitchin’.”
They spoke to each other as if you weren’t there and it was pissing you off but every time you tried to move, or say something, Rindou’s grip would just tighten and they would speak over you. 
“Stop fucking around,” you snapped, getting fed up. 
Ran and Rindou both went quiet, Ran looked up at you through his lashes, violet eyes dark and lidded, “You’re so impatient,” he chided. “... Have half a mind not to give you what you want.”
Your scowl deepened, “Then don’t,” you challenged, staring down at Ran, who met your gaze, eyes just as heated as yours were. 
After a moment, he scoffed, tongue pressing against the inside of his cheek before he shook his head, letting out a huff of laughter. “You’re a piece of work,” he muttered before his jaw clenched tight as he all but ripped your panties down off your legs.
Your eyes shot open in surprise, instinctively trying to shut your legs again but Rindou was once again prying them open and his grip was too strong for you to try to fight against it. Your face was hot in embarrassment as Ran eyed your now bare cunt intently, as if trying to figure out what exactly he wanted to do.
“Ran,” your voice was weaker now, it edged on pleading. You hated it. “Stop lookin’ at me like that.”
“I’ll look at you however I want to, thought you wanted me to stop fucking around,” Ran responded immediately, not drawing his eyes up in the slightest. “You’ve got the prettiest pussy, I knew you would. Imagined it all the time.”
Rindou rested his chin on your shoulder, looking down to watch as Ran’s fingers brushed your cunt, gathering some slick before rubbing a feather-light circle over your clit. Your body shuddered in response to the touch, hips trying to jerk up against his hand.
Rindou hummed softly at the way your body reacted before one of his hands slid to your chin, turning your face to his to press his lips to yours. His hand shifted to your neck, holding it firmly as he deepened the kiss, teeth nearly clashing against yours. 
His kiss was different from Ran’s--a bit rougher but just as intense, one of your hands came up to grasp the wrist of the hand wrapped around your neck. His grip tightened as you tried to pull back to breathe, keeping you in place. You felt dizzy, and you weren’t sure if it was because you weren’t getting any air to your lungs or if it were just because of the situation. 
Maybe both, you realized, inhaling sharply as Ran finally ducked his head down between your legs. You tensed, whimpering against Rindou’s lips as Ran licked a long stripe between your folds, the tip of his tongue swirling around your clit before he pulled back again.
“Taste as good as I imagined too,” you could practically hear the wolfish grin on his face as he spoke before he dove right back between your legs, large hands curling around your thighs to keep your legs spread as Rindou let go of your other leg, letting his hand slide up your body beneath your shirt, palming one of your breasts in his hand as his lips left yours to start trailing down your neck.
Your jaw went half-slack as Ran buried his face in your cunt, nose nudging your clit as he dragged his tongue along your slit. Your free hand flew to your mouth, trying to hold back the cry that almost escaped your lips but Ran let go of one of your thighs to grab your wrist, pinning it down to the bed next to you.
Your hips instinctively tried to grind up against his face, thighs squeezing his head, but Ran brought his forearm down on your lower stomach in response, pinning your hips from moving.
“Don’t hide from us,” Rindou murmured against your skin, and your eyes fluttered shut as his teeth grazed your skin before he bit down, pulling a moan from your throat. “Gonna make you feel good.”
A broken gasp escaped your lips as Ran let out a low groan against your cunt, your eyes shot open as you tried to calm your erratic breathing. Ran was undeterred even as you tried to squirm away again, the pleasure hitting you too hard and too fast for you to control--he pressed his face deeper into your cunt, tongue tracing circles between your folds, flicking over your clit, fucking in and out of you. Through a hazy gaze, you could see the way he was trying to grind his hips against the mattress, desperate for any sort of friction. Rindou’s fingers were pinching gently at your nipples, teeth carelessly biting down against your skin but you could only focus on the rising heat pooling in your lower stomach.
“Ran,” you sobbed--you felt overwhelmed already, you wondered if this was how people felt when they teamed up on their enemies together. They were moving too fast for you to keep up, their hands were everywhere, playing with your body like it was some sort of instrument that only they knew how to play. Your head felt fuzzy and your body was shaking, “Ran, I-”
Rindou bit down again. Hard this time. Your eyes knocked back white for a second, a sharp cry escaping your lips. 
“Pay attention to me,” Rindou said so coldly that it had you reeling, but you couldn’t concentrate with the feeling of Ran between your thighs, playing with your clit with his tongue, the wet, sloppy sounds of him tongue fucking your cunt was all that was running through your head. Rindou’s words went in one ear, out the other and it only made him even more angry. “I said-”
Ran’s teeth grazed your clit as Rindou spoke, and you were sure that he did it on purpose if the huff of laughter he let out was anything to say about it as another loud, high-pitch moan of his name resounded through the room. You reached down with one hand to tug at the short, purple strands of hair--you weren’t sure if you were trying to pull him off or press him closer. 
Everything felt hazy and foggy, you couldn’t tell whose hands were whose, you couldn’t tell what Rindou was saying but you knew he was getting more and more annoyed with each passing second, your vision was blurred with tears and your head felt hot. Your entire body felt like it was on fire and you knew you should be embarrassed by how your moans were becoming increasingly loud, by how your body strained against Ran’s arm, grinding up against his face as you pushed him down even more with your hand, but you just couldn’t bring yourself to care. 
Ran’s tongue worked like magic, quick and efficient movements that had you getting pushed to the brink too, too fast. Heat shot through your abdomen, your thighs tensed around his head. You could get addicted, you were sure of it, eyes rolling back as he sucked your clit into his mouth. 
“I’m ‘nna cum,” you cried, “Ran, Ran-“
Rindou’s grip on your waist was borderline painful as your back arched against his chest, body spasming as one last swirl of his tongue around your clit had you spiraling right over the edge. Your thighs tightened around Ran’s head, letting out a loud, shaky cry of his name as you came all over his tongue, body trembling in Rindou’s arms.
You gasped for breath, head spinning as you tried to recover but Rindou did not give you the chance. He hauled you up, forcing you to your hands and knees. Your arms were too shaky to hold yourself up, chest falling flat against the mattress. You turned your head to the side as best as you could, trying to look back at Rindou but he fisted your hair hard, pressing your face back down into the mattress.
“Don’t be so rough with her. It’s not her fault that she couldn’t focus on you. Maybe you should’ve done more,” Ran chided, though he sounded amused as slapped Rindou’s hand off of your head. You felt his hands cup your chin, lifting your face up far more gently than Rindou’s grip had been. His fingers stroked your cheekbone for a moment, and you couldn’t help the way you leaned into his touch, eyes fluttering shut. “You pissed him off,” he murmured, “You know how he gets when he doesn’t get attention--he’s always been sensitive about it.”
“Fuck you, Ran.”
“Huh?” was all you could say as you forced your eyes back open to look at him, brows furrowed as you tried to process what he said but you still felt half-out of it. “R-”
Your voice faltered when you felt the tip of Rindou’s cock nudge against your entrance, a whimper muffled at your lips as he slowly began to push in, your head fell limp again, face resting in Ran’s lap. 
“Oh god,” you gasped. Rindou was big, bigger than anyone else you’d ever slept with, you could feel every inch of him molding your walls. He stretched you out in a way that you’d never been before, your walls burned with each inch he pushed inside you, and you couldn’t tell if it was a sort of burn that hurt or if it was a pleasant one. Your body trembled violently as you tried to adjust to his size. “Oh god, Rin, gimme a sec, gim-”
Rindou did not, in fact, give you a second, and you were sure he did it just to be spiteful, hips snapping against your ass to bury his cock as deep inside you as possible. Your lips parted in a silent cry, face pressed against Ran’s sweats as he stroked your hair gently, as if trying to soothe you. 
You took in a ragged breath, body tense, fingers curling around the sheets as you tried to adjust to his size but Rindou once again did not give you the chance, already drawing his hips back to drive his cock into you. The moan that left your lips was absolutely obscene, nails ripping through the thin sheets, sobbing against Ran. 
He fucked you at a pace that shouldn’t have been possible. Your fingers shook around the sheets, chest heaving but every heavy thrust stole all of the breath from your lungs, each in-and-out of his cock had you reeling, barely able to think straight. Rindou’s fingers dug into your hips, dragging you back to meet every thrust as he fucked you onto him, hitting inside you so deep that you swore it had your vision spotty. You think you’ve cum already, but you aren’t even sure--it certainly felt like you did, your body was shaking in the aftershocks of what seemed to have been an orgasm but you didn’t even remember the build up to it, you didn’t even remember finishing again. 
You tried to look up at Ran, eyes teary, but his gaze were dark and lidded as he watched you, an expression on his face that you couldn’t quite decipher before Rindou was shifting positions.
His hand moved up from your waist to your hair, pulling you up hard and you winced, dizzy, mind numb. His hand dropped from your hair to curl around your neck to hold you up, back pressed against his chest. He didn’t falter in his pace once, hips snapping against yours, the lewd sound of skin slapping on skin, the sloppy sound of his cock bullying deep in your cunt ringing in your ears. Filthy, it was all filthy, you should be embarrassed by the noises escaping your lips, by the way your body was reacting to Rindou, by the way you kept begging for more when he was already giving you all he had. 
He turned your head to the side and pressed his lips against yours, tongues sliding against each others’, teeth clashing. His other hand slid down your body, rubbing circles on your clit, and the moans you were letting out into his mouth were becoming louder, needier, your blood was running hot and your head felt light.
“Feel so fuckin’ good, god, love you s’much,” Rindou groaned against your lips, “C’mon, wanna feel you cum on my cock again.”
And those words were all you needed to send you spiraling again, crying out loud against his lips, body thrashing against his as he held you in place, continued playing with your clit, fucking you through your high. You felt him pull away, leaning his head back to let out a low moan when your walls squeezed and fluttered around him. 
You could feel his hips stutter against yours as your body went limp in his hold, slumping forward, only held up by the hand wrapped around your neck and the other went still rubbing slow circles over your clit. Ran was saying something to Rindou as he spilled his cum deep inside you, filling you up so full that his cum was leaking out of your cunt even with his cock plugging you up. 
You fell unmoving against the bed when Rindou groaned and pulled out of you. Your body shuddered, thighs shaking and cum pooling beneath you as it spilled out of you, making a mess on the bed beneath you. You tried to steady your breath, gather the strength to push up from the puddle of cum to retain some sort of control but you couldn’t find the strength in your limbs to do it. Your arms and legs felt like noodles, your mind wasn’t even fully there. 
“C’mon now,” you heard Ran murmur distantly. “Don’t tap out on us yet.”
You felt an arm wrap around your bicep and in one swift motion, you were pulled on top of Ran. You were unsteady and weak, barely able to hold yourself up but you didn’t need to--instead, two strong hands grabbed you by the waist, holding you up right.
Your vision was dizzy as you looked down at him, his lips crawled up into a slow smirk as he looked up at you through his lashes. You let out a whimper when you felt his cock slide between your folds, slipping against the mess Rindou made of your pussy, lips parting as his tip caught your clit, pressing softly against it.
“Want you to ride me,” Ran said quietly. “Can you do that for me, pretty?”
You felt hot at the pet name and you tried to focus on what he was asking you. Want you to ride me, he had said and you took in a shaky breath, hesitant because you weren’t sure if you could handle another orgasm. Your head and body felt fuzzy, as if you were on the verge of passing out, pins and needles pricking your limbs, breath heavy and slow. They had made you cum too many times, too quick and Ran wanted more. 
“I-I dunn-” you began but, much like his brother, Ran didn’t give you the chance to answer his question, pressing the tip of his cock against your entrance.
“She can take it,” Rindou said, and your eyes were wide as you looked back at him, lips parted to try to snap something at him but whatever words were on your lips died as Ran bucked his hips up, pushing his cock inside of you.
You tried to do as he asked--thighs tense and trembling as you attempted to rock your hips against his, fuck yourself on his cock, but you were slow. It was too slow for you and evidently too slow for Ran if the sharp click of his tongue had anything to say about it. 
His hands came to your waist, fingers pressing into your skin as he took over, too impatient to let you take your pace.
You couldn’t do anything but let Ran do what he wanted, limp and unable to fight back even if you wanted to--almost like a doll for him to use for whatever he wants. Your moans cut off as he bounced you easily on his cock, biceps flexing with each movement--he was longer than Rindou, hitting impossibly deeper, but not as thick. And you knew in the back of your head that you shouldn’t be doing this with him, you could see all the bruises marring his chest and abdomen and you opened your mouth to tell him that but the only thing that escaped your lips was another set of slurred moans.
Your vision was rather blurred and spotty--a part of you wondered again if you were on the verge of passing out because it was really starting to feel like it. Ran didn’t seem to be in pain, head tossed back, lips parted, violet eyes rolled back as he fucked you hard, hips snapping up to meet you with every bounce. Grip tight, borderline painful but the pain didn’t even register, too lost in the feeling of his cock dragging against your walls, still reeling from the three? four? orgasms that you’d already had, the ones that the two of them didn’t even give you a chance to recover from before they were pushing you toward your next.
Your hands were curled weakly around Ran’s forearms, nails scratching at his skin. You were going to cum again, you could feel this one coming fast and strong, you could feel the way your body felt like it was on fire, you could feel the way your body was shaking, the way your vision was going in and out, you could feel the tears spilling down your cheeks, the breathy, gasps of his name--little more than slurred babbles that only spurred him on even more, fucking you harder, faster, moaning your name louder.
You tried to warn him but the high came faster than you expected, mind going blank, vision going white and then dark. You weren’t sure how long you were out of it, everything felt dull and muted except for the feeling of Ran’s cock pistoning in and out of you as he used your body to chase his own release, head lolled to the side, eyes rolled back, jaw slack and you could feel the drool pooling at the corner of your lips as he just kept going, ignoring how you were barely even conscious in his hold to get himself off.
It could have been two minutes, it could have been twenty before you were being laid back on the bed, both Rindou and Ran’s cum leaking out of you profusely, body uncooperative as you tried to move and get yourself comfortable. You weren’t sure how many more times you had cum--too many considering you couldn’t even respond to the soft words they were telling you, your tongue too heavy in your mouth to even think of it.
You barely understood half of what they were saying and if it had been anybody else you were with, you knew you would have been anxious, scared. You hated being put in vulnerable positions--you always had, and that only amplified once you had gotten involved with the shadier side of the world.
You could feel Rindou curled at your side, lips pressed to your temple, while Ran wrapped his arm around your waist. “I love you,” he murmured, and you tried to say it back but the only thing you could let out was an unintelligible babble that had Ran snorting in amusement. You felt a distinct urge to slap him but couldn't raise your hand up from your side. “Go to sleep.”
Your eyes drooped shut at his words, body and mind exhausted and content, happy, in a way that you hadn't been in a long time... in a way that you weren't sure you had ever been, if you were being honest.
You had never had them as wholly and completely as you did in that moment, and it was something you never wanted to end. But as you drifted off to sleep in their arms, you couldn't help the dreadful feeling that began to stir in your stomach as you thought of what the next few days might bring.
----
You woke up tangled up in the sheets with Ran, the blinds had been pulled open--surely by Rindou, who didn’t want to wait hours for the two of you to finally wake up. You scowled as you tried to disentangle yourself from Ran without waking him up, knowing that he needed the rest. 
Your body felt sore and your face felt hot as you recalled what you had done last night with them but you forced yourself to shake your head, pressing a soft kiss against his forehead before stealing his shirt and slipping it on, making your way out of the room toward the kitchen.
You could smell something cooking in there--eggs, you realized and you smiled lightly to yourself when you caught sight of Rindou at the stove, phone pressed to his ear as he spoke to someone on the phone. You leaned against the wall, watching him absently flip the egg, gaze trailing down his chest, following his tattoos until they disappeared beneath his sweats.
“... are you sure? Keep checking in at some of the other safehouses before talking to anyone else, especially-” Rindou cut himself off, finally noticing you. He gave you a small smile before speaking again, “Never mind, I’ll talk to you later.”
Rindou hung up the phone and placed it down on the counter, you made your way over to him, “What was that all about?” you asked quietly, arms slipping around his waist, chin propped up on his chest to look up at him.
“Don’t worry about it,” he responded, ducking his head down to press his lips against yours briefly, “Ran’s still sleeping?” 
“What do you think?” you asked dryly, wondering if you should push or not--but you knew Rindou never liked it and you weren’t sure you wanted to deal with an argument. 
Rindou rolled his eyes, “Of course he is,” he muttered as he plated one of the eggs and passed it over to you before grabbing one for himself. The two of you walked over to the counter, sitting on one of the stools. His gaze drifted over you, watching as you ate a forkful of the eggs. You looked at him suspiciously.
“What?” you asked.
“Nothing,” he said quietly, “If you had told me a few weeks ago we’d be here…” he trailed off, shaking his head, and guilt pooled in your stomach. 
“I’m sorry,” you told him, gaze dropping down to the ground. 
“I know,” he responded and you let out a breath, your chest tight. You knew you didn’t deserve it, but you hoped one day they would forgive you.
The two of you ate in silence for a few moments after that until Rindou finally spoke up again, “How did you even get Ran out of there?” 
“Hanma Shuji,” you said, mind drifting back to the gold-eyed man, wondering what exactly he was up to right now. “His men were supposed to be watching him, he called them off and gave me the time I needed to get Ran out of there.”
Rindou looked surprised, “Hanma?” his brows were furrowed deep in suspicion, “Why? Ran and Hanma hated each other in Tenjiku. Or, Ran hated Hanma at least, and didn’t try to hide it.”
“Really?” you asked curiously, “Why?” You thought about what he said a little more. “Hanma was in Tenjiku with you guys?”
Rindou made a quiet noise of agreement as he took another bite of his eggs. “Yeah, never saw him again after that fight though,” he said, “and I’m not sure. Ran never really got into it, he just said that he had weird vibes and it made him uncomfortable. Ran’s always been pretty good at reading people, so I just went along with it.” 
You frowned, “Weird, I never got off vibes from him. He’s helped me a lot. Saved my life at the auction, he shielded me from the explosion.”
Rindou grinned and nudged you, “You also suck at reading people,” he teased.
You gaped, “I totally do not,” you said, offended, “I-”
You faltered when you remembered what happened after the Munich Incident, with your bodyguard--a phantom pain itched at your back, you slumped, eyeing Rindou, incredibly annoyed. 
“He helped me a lot, when he didn’t have to,” you told him, “I’d trust him if it came down to it.”
Rindou eyed you for a second before nodding, “Okay,” he said, “I trust you.”
Your breath caught at his words--the truth behind them, the way he said it so firmly. You pressed your lips together tight, trying to hide the tremble as you reached down and grabbed his free hand, squeezing it gently. He noticed how much the three words affected you if the soft look on his face had anything to say about it, and he only let out a breath before leaning in and pressing his lips to the top of your head.
“It’ll probably be a week or two before things calm down enough for us all to get out of here,” Rindou said. “We should keep low. Ran and I’ll avoid going to any meetings if Mikey calls them, but I don’t know how long we’ll be able to do that. I checked around the safehouse, this place is stocked to last a while so we won’t need to go out and get anything.”
You let out a sigh, “I hate being cooped up,” you murmured, leaning your head on his shoulder. 
You could practically hear the leer in his voice as he spoke, “Mmm, I dunno, I think I’ll enjoy it, gonna get to make good use of that pretty pussy after you deprived us of it for so long.”
You gasped, jabbing his abdomen with your fingers but he didn’t even flinch, snickering to himself as he rose to his feet, picking up both of your plates to bring them over to the sink. You rested your chin on your hand, elbow propped up on the table as you watched him clean the dishes.
“Why didn’t you guys say anything back then?” you asked quietly, watching as Rindou looked back at you over his shoulder. You tried to ignore the way the muscles on his back flexed at the motion. Tried.
“Why didn’t you?” Rindou countered.
Your eyes drew away from him toward a window, a heavy feeling settling over you as you remembered what exactly your mental state was like before you left for Munich. 
“You know why,” you said quietly, avoiding his gaze. 
Rindou let out a breath, shutting off the water and placing the dishes on the drying rack. He stepped around the kitchen to stand in front of you again. He cradled your head to his chest, your eyes fluttered shut as he scratched the back of your head gently, lulling your eyes shut. 
“Ran wanted me to say something,” Rindou said after a moment, and you lifted your head from his chest to look up at him questioningly. Why didn’t you? was on the tip of your tongue, but you didn’t need to voice it, “I knew Ran loved you. I couldn’t.”
“Oh,” you said softly, wondering just how oblivious you had been to both of their feelings. You swallowed thickly, looking away, trying to change the subject, “Um, what do you wanna do? We can-”
“I can think of a few things,” Rindou winked at you, and you rolled your eyes, pushing him back to rise to your feet.
“You’re unbearable,” you muttered.
“You love it,” he shot right back.
“Don’t remind me.”
A smile spread across his lips at your words, nudging you gently with his shoulder, “Movie?” he asked quietly. “Before Ran wakes up and starts whining about food?”
“Sure,” you said after a moment, “What movie?”
You waited for him to offer a movie, but he didn’t. The two of you stood there in silence for a few seconds. Just as he opened his mouth to suggest a movie, you did too.
“The Conjuring?”
“Star Wars?”
Both of you went silent again, expressions going flat as you stared at each other.
“Absolutely fucking not.”
“No way in hell.”
Rindou’s brows furrowed, “It’s my turn to pick,” he snapped, “You made us watch the fucking Exorcist the last time we watched a movie together. I had nightmares for two weeks straight.”
“I don’t give a shit if it’s your turn,” you snapped right back, as relentless as ever, “I’m not watching the Empire Strikes Back for the fiftieth fucking time, Rindou.”
“It’s a good fucking movie,” Rindou responded heatedly, “You don’t even pay attention!” 
“Because I don’t like it! Maybe if you weren’t such a fuckin’ piss baby, you’d enjoy horror movies.”
“Hey! What the fuck did you just call me?” 
“What’re you? Deaf? I know you heard me."
“I’m putting on Star Wars.”
“No, you are not! Get back here, Rindou!” 
"Will you shut up? You're going to wake Ran up."
"Says you!"
