A Love That Transcends Blade | A Tenryou Soldier x Teppei Fanfic - CH. 1: The Priestess Did WHAT!?

Relationship: Teppei x Tenryou Soldier [Original Character]

A/N: Hai!!! I ship Teppei x Hirano (my OC lulz), so I made a fanfic about them to quench the heat. Uhhhh there might be some suggestive (wink wink) content cause ma bois cannot resist butttttt no actual smex (Unlesssss... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)...JK LOLZ) SO PLEASE ENJOY! Oh and uhhhh here's the description I guess x3 almost forgot. P.S. - I added the other tags so everyone could see ma fic, so sorry about that! Please don't be mad... The Teppei x Hirano [Hirano = My OC] community is not prolific enough to omit them ;-; But please read it anyways xD. I welcome everyone.

Summary: Teppei had utmost trust in Her Excellency. So why, pray tell, is Teppei being taken away at the order of none other than Sangonomiya Kokomi? Teppei doesn't know, try as he might, and that leads him to be far past complacent in his new predicament. Certain Her Excellency has made a fatal error, Teppei promises not only that he'll wrangle free from his captors, but also that he will return to Sangonomiya a stronger soldier than ever.

That was the plan until he met him, of course.

Warnings: Canon-typical violence, romance, kissing, cursing, SMEXINESS ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but no smut!

Once upon a time, there was a very dedicated Watatsumi resistance soldier. This is his story…

Hello, my name is Teppei. I have been a hard working soldier under Sangonomiya for quite some time now. Lately, I have noticed that the Priestess and General Gorou seem dissatisfied with my work, but I’ve tried to ignore it.

Pushing these terrible thoughts out of my head, I run downstairs and comb my hair while I hurry. Kokomi is at my door. I bow at a 45 degree angle to show my respect.

“Lady Kokomi! What brings you h-here?” I stutter.

“Unfortunately, your performance has been subpar as of recently. You will have to… compensate.” She sends a nervous look to the floor. “I am sorry for what we have had to do, but you must understand that it was for the betterment of Watatsumi Island.”

“Lady Kokomi, what do you mean? I’m sorry to disappoint you! I promise to train even ha-” Suddenly, I am grappled to the floor by my fellow comrades. They tie my hands and legs in a hogtie (A/N: KINKY!!!!) and shove me in a caravan. Lady Kokomi marches to me, a sorrowful look in her gaze.

“Teppei, you have been sold to the Tenryou Commission under an official contract from the Watatsumi Resistance. Please find it in your heart to forgive us.” Her boobs sag in sadness. I try to struggle out of my ropes in one last attempt. My eyes tear up as I see her turn. As the caravan begins to move, she fades into a tiny image… How will I survive?

I wake up in a foul-smelling room. Rising, I quickly realize that I am surrounded by Tenryou soldiers, equally ugly in nature. Seems like being a bootlicker has adverse effects on appearance…

“Hey, pretty boy, you’re up. So, are you ready to be our army soyboy?”

“H-h-h-h-huh!? EEK!” I hop up and try to make a break for it, but a strong man snatches my ankles and drags me across chipped hardwood floors. He grasps my hair and tugs my face towards his. Our noses are centimeters apart. “What’s your name, Watatsumi Wimp?” The other men chuckle at that.

“T-T-T-Teppei, sir. It’s Teppei.”

“Ha, Teppei, more like TOENAIL!” Everyone laughs but me. In fact, I start sobbing, curling into a ball to try and avoid these social terrorists (A/N: Me too, Teppei, me too ;-;). Before I can register what’s happening, sturdy hands lift me up from under my armpits and spin me around to face the perpetrator.

“I’m Hirano. Sorry about them. I promise they’re not usually like this.” He shoots a glare at the men, as if to say their fun was over. They roll their eyes but abide, shuffling off. ‘Wow. He scattered all those big scary men so quickly. What an Alpha… Eugh! What am I saying? He’s the enemy…’ I blush, fidgeting underneath his searing look.

“I-I-It’s okay! Really… But I need to be let go! This must be some kind of mistake. Lady Kokomi would never do something like this. It’s probably a war crime.” His breath tickles the side of my neck. That’s how close he is.

“Don’t be deceived. I feel for you, and I feel bad, but you’re not going anywhere. This was an official arrangement - you’re a bargaining piece, basically.” Shock spreads throughout my spine. It seems like Hirano is the type with the shell… except, he can get really serious at just a simple whim.

“Bargaining piece or not, I will get out, Sir Hirano. Lady Kokomi is not the type of individual to send away her troopers like trash. That, I am sure of.” The strange rush of courage pumping through my heart lasts a single second. Then, the embarrassment overtakes it. Suddenly, Hirano kabedons me!

“U-Uhm!? What the nani!?” I sputter.

“Get rid of those lofty ideals now, pretty boy. No prisoner’s escape Tenryou land. Not under the Shogun’s all-seeing gaze. Now be a good kohai and be quiet, ‘kay?” Hirano’s breath is addicting, and I feel like a breathalyzer as it fans across my blooming cheeks. ‘H-H-H-H-He’s too much… He’s seriously too much! Calling me pretty boy and all that is way too mean!’ Blood gushes out of my nose like it's Niagara Falls, successfully ruining the moment as the crimson propels onto Hirano’s cheekbones.

“Eugh, what the-! You little rascal, I just cleaned my uniform! How was that so projectile? That doesn’t even- Ugh, it’s fine. Let’s just get you to med,” Hirano swabs the blood off his skin with the cuffs of that tacky Tenryou outfit and puts an arm across my waist as he leads me to one of the doors. “I wouldn’t want you to pass out.”

His manly digits coalescing across my bony waist is almost enough to make me gush from my nose again. ‘He’s such husbando material… NO! I can’t think like that… I must survive! I must get out of here and return to my Priestess!’

To be continued…

various kuroko’s basketball seirin 3rd years x black!fem!reader & black!fem!oc

Love, a four-letter word that held multiple different meanings. The word love can leave a sweet taste in your mouth as if you were eating your favorite candy, or it can leave a bitter taste as if you ate a piece of black licorice. When it came to love [your name] and her friends were so curious about it, especially [your name]. Analyse and Jaliah named [your name] the hopeless romantic, always daydreaming about love. And she didn't mind the nickname, because what girl didn't dream about love? To find true love and be happy. That is what she truly wanted in life, and she was hopeful that it'd happen. With the three starting college together, she was destined to find true love.

At first, she thought the idea of finding love at college was a frivolous joke. Then it occurred to her that anything could happen, maybe she could actually find love. Both Analyse and Jaliah tried to warn their best friend that she should be focusing on school rather than love, but if [your name] was going to be honest, who said you couldn't have both? You could get your degree and fall in love, there was nothing wrong with that. Being a hopeless romantic in an era where love was slowly dying out became her source of happiness. Despite her and her friends different ideals with love, she thought hers was the best outtake.

Analyse never cared for love, love was nonexistent to her. All the relationships she's had in the past were friends with benefits, nothing too serious. And when she felt like she was catching feelings, she immediately cut ties with that person. Especially being burned by the previous relationship. A relationship filled with lies and broken promises. If what she felt with that person was considered love, she never wanted to experience love ever again. It was a waste of her time and something that could never satisfy ones need. to her, love was not a necessity. Love was overplayed, it was a fad. who seriously believed in a bunch of bullshit like that? "love is just like a hurricane, it comes and wipes you empty of everything you've had," is what she would say whenever that topic was being discussed.

Jaliah on the other hand, she wasn't against love nor did she crave it. Love was just there to her. You either fall in love or you don't. Sometimes it was okay to fall in love, it was okay to daydream about romantic sceneries, it was okay to hopeful about your true love coming one day, and it was okay to just love. It was also okay to not fall in love, it was okay to avoid love, it was okay if you weren't interested in falling in love, and it was okay to never fall in love. Everyone was different and had different perceptions of what love was to them and how it felt like. Jaliah had her rollercoaster ride with love, where she experienced the happiness and the sadness.

Yet their different views never once tore their friendship apart, it helped them grow stronger. Unknowingly, they were the lovesick girls. Deep down, they were still looking for love.

Move-in day was the day they anticipated. They were not sure how, but they were able to share a dorm together. Analyse assumed that they'd separate once they got to college, but that was not the case. She never knew that dorms could go up to three rooms, so this was exciting. All three best friends in a dorm together? This could either be a blessing or a curse in disguise. All they knew was that they were sorry in advance to the people next to their room, and the people in the hall they're in.

The first thing the three friends were doing was arguing over the bed and which bed they wanted. Scratch that, it was actually [your name] and Analyse arguing over which bed they wanted. Jaliah did not care which bed she got, because to her they all looked the same. She didn't know what was different about each bed. She found the two arguing over beds that felt like you were sleeping on sandpaper and rocks ridiculous. Jaliah could have stopped the argument, but she found it entertaining.

The arguing got boring, so jaliah decided to take measures into her own hand. She walked over to the corner bed that the two were arguing over, and began to unzip one of her bags. She grabbed her bedding materials and set the bed up and laid down right over. problem solved, no need to argue anymore. The two stared at jaliah with a blank face as she looked over her phone.

"I'm sorry, just watchin' you two argue over a damn bed drove me crazy," she scoffed, looking at the phone. The two huffed as they walked over to a bed and began to set their beds.

Once their beds were set, they decided that they would fix and organize their closets and their rooms tomorrow. What they needed to do was go buy a few supplies so that their room looked cute. They made sure they had their mini backpacks and room key before heading out. They were in awe as they stared at the dorm hallway, They were very long and smelt nice. which was a refresher, because during their high school years, the hallways always smelled terrible.

[your name] had a gut feeling to check her bag, and she was glad that she did. She saw that her card was not inside her mini backpack, which meant that it was inside of her fanny pack. She told jaliah and analyse that she'd meet them back in lobby while she quickly jogged towards the elevator. As she was jogging, she bumped into someone. Just when she thought she was going to fall completely on her face, that mysterious person quickly grabbed ahold of her arm.

"Are you okay?" the deep voice spoke as she stared at him.

"I'm sorry, I should've paid attention," she quickly apologized while the male chuckled. She looked up at him and he was tall. He looked a good 6 foot 6, with brown hair and his eyebrows were slightly bushy.

"I was just about to say that. I was too busy rushing back to my room to get something, so sorry about that," he smiled, scratching the back of his neck. It didn't take long for the silence to consume them as they stared at each other for a brief moment.

"Kiyoshi Teppei," he stuck his hand out, which caused her to gasp in her head. His hand was large, she has never seen a hand that big before.

"[your name]," she shook his hand, feeling hers being engulfed into his. Is this what it felt like to shake hands with someone whose hands were two times theirs? Because she kinda liked it. She felt that his hand was compatible with hers.

"See you around," he flashed her one more smile before they parted ways.

Somehow, she felt that she would be seeing him again. And with the next encounter, they wouldn't be bumping into each other. Instead, they'll be meeting face to face with a smile.

Summary: OC (Natalie) has some reservations about Teppei's plans to steal the supercars for the Brotherhood.

Warnings: Mentions of injuries and blood

Word Count: 963

Notes: This fic is in response to the @choicesflashfics prompt "I don’t know if I want to know the answer, but what are you doing?" It takes place in Ride or Die chapter six and utilizes an OC, Natalie.

For more Teppei x Natalie content, please check out The Dragon and the Phoenix, The Water Dragon, and Power Outage. Thanks for reading!

***

Natalie lay on the floor of the office she shared at the garage with Teppei, her legs propped up on the wall. She closed her eyes, her red hair fanned out like a halo around her head as she took deep breaths, counting silently. In, two, three, four. Hold, two, three, four. Out, two, three, four. Ordinarily she would never have even considered lying on the floor here but seeing as her boyfriend’s blood was still under her fingernails, she made an exception.

The door opened clumsily, knob rattling loudly, and Natalie heard the slow, dragging gait of someone unaccustomed to using a cane. The door closed and Natalie kept her eyes closed as she listened to Teppei drag himself to his chair and sit down heavily.

“I don’t know if I want to know the answer, but what are you doing?” he asked.

“Yoga,” she replied, eyes still closed.

“Since when do you do yoga?”

“I read somewhere this was supposed to be a stress-relieving pose.”

“What do you have to be stressed about? Other than the fact that you’re lying on a garage floor, I can’t vouch for the cleanliness.”

“That’s not funny.”

“Everything is fine.”

Natalie opened her eyes and lowered her legs, rolling to one side before pushing herself up to a sitting position. She turned to look at him in his desk chair and were it not for the unusual paleness of his skin, he could have fooled her into thinking he was telling the truth.

“Everything is fine?” Natalie said. “Let’s review: you met with the Brotherhood who broke your leg and caused you to lose a ton of blood. The crew and I just had to patch you up here and attempt to set your fucking leg because you refuse to go to a hospital. Then this you’re getting ready to steal a bunch of cars using Ellie as a driver? Are you kidding me right now?”

“She volunteered.”

“Why not have me do it?” Natalie asked.

“I don’t want you anywhere near this.”

“Well too bad, I’m already in this,” Natalie said. “You and I have been together for six years, you think I’m not in this?”

“It’s bad enough Colt is doing this, I don’t want both people I love involved.”

Natalie studied him. “No, that’s not it. There’s something else.” Teppei met her gaze without flinching, the dragon strong beneath the surface. “Oh my god. You want Ellie to do this.”

“I hadn’t planned on it, but the opportunity seems somewhat fortuitous.”

“Because if she does it, you have even more leverage against her father.”

Teppei said nothing, but he didn’t have to; Natalie knew she was right.

“You’ve lost control of the situation,” Natalie said as she walked to her own desk chair and sat down heavily, turning to face him.

“No, I haven’t.”

“Your leg is broken and you bled all over the break room and now you’re letting someone who got their license thirty seconds ago help you steal a supercar. Forgive me for being skeptical.”

“Natalie, I’m out of options,” Teppei said quietly but evenly. She glanced at the closed office door, wondering if Toby had his ear pressed against it. “The Brotherhood has me cornered and I have to do this job. This time they came after me, the next time will be you or Colt. That, they promised me. Letting Ellie drive on this job gives me some leverage against the cops so that I can at least partially neutralize one threat.”

“And what if she can’t do the job?”

“I don’t have the luxury of considering that option right now,” Teppei said. He tried to readjust his position in his chair and grimaced. “You know, it’s too bad you’re an accountant instead of a nurse.”

Natalie stood up and retrieved one of the folding chairs from the opposite side of his desk and brought it to him before gently helping him place his injured leg on it. She turned to go back to her own desk when she felt him catch her hand with his.

“Please don’t be mad at me,” he said. “I know you’re not happy about this, but I can fix it.”

“I want to believe you,” Natalie said as she turned to look at him. “But it’s hard when your blood is staining my clothes.”

Teppei traced the errant smear of red on her pant leg with the fingertips of his free hand. “I’ll take care of this.”

“I can do my own laundry.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“I know.”

They were silent for a few moments as Natalie traced her thumb over Teppei’s knuckles. “You keep promising that things are going to be okay and that you’ll take care of it, but I don’t know if you can promise that this time.”

“I’m promising it anyway,” Teppei said, bringing her palm to his lips and giving it a gentle kiss.

“What can I do to help you?” she asked.

“You already do so much for me,” he said. “Just be there when I get home tonight.”

“I always am. I can never sleep when you have a job.”

“I know.”

Natalie had the vague sense that time was running out for Teppei, but she couldn’t place why or how long he had left. If he sensed the same, he didn’t show it. Natalie wanted to tell him not to go through with this job, to find another way to handle the Brotherhood, but she didn’t have any ideas and, like he��d said, Teppei was out of options. So instead she leaned down and kissed him gently while a small voice in the back of her head wondered how many more times she’d get to do this before he was gone.

Reunion - Teppei Kaneko x OC (Alexa)

Book: Ride Or Die

Pairing: Teppei Kaneko x OC (Alexa)

Note: The OC Alexa is around 35 years and is not the same as the MC from the book

Words: ~ 4888 (sorry a long one)

Rating: NSFW

Teppei never had an easy past. It all started in his young age; he never knew a life outside of gangs. His father showed him the life of the Yakuza where he grew up in. The worst part of his life at the Yakuza is that he will be reminded of it, everyday he looks into the mirror. His dragon tattoo on his chest lining up to his back will forever be a reminder for what he has done or rather say what he had to do to please his own father.

His mother unfortunately couldn’t help him, she married a Yakuza member to escape her own family. In 1977 when he was born his mother had to protect him with all cost. It was the time where North Korea started to abduct Japanese citizen. They almost got his father, but he was able to escape together with Teppei, but his mother wasn’t lucky. No one knew what happened to her or to their home. Even now, Teppei doesn’t know if maybe his mother is still alive, looking for him. Those times weren’t easy, and he will always be reminded of it, reminded of growing up without a mother. He always wished it would be different for his own children, but Colt grew up without a mother as well. He couldn’t keep his mother in his life.

It was not always bad in the past, there were good times in the Yakuza. He remembers there was one person he was very fond of. But he never had the courage to ask her out, because he was just a man in the yakuza. When his father passed away, he left Tokyo and moved to Los Angeles where he met Colt’s mother. But his mind was still wondering about this girl back in Tokyo in the yakuza gang of his father. She must be a bit younger than Teppei, he knew it. He was never really able to leave this part of his old life behind.

He built a life in Los Angeles even though it was not an easy way and especially not a legal way. Even after leaving his old life behind he had no other chance than being back in a gang. He used to just be a small gang member in the Mercy Park Crew until he took the whole gang into his hands. Now he is leading it along with talented people who needed a shelter, something they can live for, everyone a unique history of joining a gang. Along the gang members there is also Colt – his son.

Deep down Teppei wants another life for Colt but he can see that Colt doesn’t want another life. And maybe there is not even a chance for Colt, because as soon as people hear the name Kaneko they will associate him with Teppei, a gang member in Los Angeles who used to be in the Yakuza.

Colt proved himself in the time of The Brotherhood when they wanted to put them down. Whatever Teppei tried The Brotherhood never left him alone. It was like, Mercy Park Crew had to do the dirty work for The Brotherhood. Everything was associated with MPC instead of The Brotherhood. But eventually with the help of the whole group, they were able to isolate themselves from them. The Brotherhood was shaken up by the LAPD while MPC were able to hide and escape.

But for gangs in Los Angeles there is always a rivalry gang trying to bring another one down just to be the strongest gang in town. This time, Kaneko and his Mercy Park Crew has to deal with a gang called Diamondbacks.

They are more dangerous than the Brotherhood, but Teppei trusts his crew from the beginning instead of going out alone. The Diamondbacks hurt Rosie, a new member of the Crew Logan brought in a couple months ago. After that it was quiet around the Diamondbacks, never heard anything from them at all. It was like they gave up fighting against MPC but Teppei knows better. No one gives up that easily. It is just the calm before the storm.

After three weeks silence a woman comes into their shop and the whole crew looks at her, wondering who she is and what she wants. But Teppei knows who it is. That face he would never forget. It is the young girl from the Yakuza of his father. He never forgot her beautiful eyes that could light up a whole room, her hair that flies with the wind. Her alluring skin that fits perfectly to her hair. And judged by her face when their eyes meet, she recognises him as well.

“Alexa.” Teppei says quietly.

The whole crew turns to Teppei knowing the young woman in front of them.

“Teppei.” Alexa responds quietly.

They walk towards each other, almost automatically. For a short moment they forgot where they are and that there are other people standing only a few feet away.

Alexa gazes up into Teppei’s black eyes, then to his lips. Teppei looks into her breath-taking eyes and to her soft lips and back to her eyes. But before they could go any further, Ximena clears her throat bringing them out of their trance.

Teppei looks at Ximena and then to Alexa. “Can I help you with something?”

“Yes, that is why I am here.” Alexa looks down ashamed and then to his crew. “You won’t like it but, I am from the Diamondbacks and…”

Teppei takes a step back and the whole crew tenses.

“Wait, I am not finished. It was never my choice to join them, I don’t want to be a part of them. Please, Teppei. You know me. Help me out of there. I can provide information about their plans.” Alexa explains.

Teppei studies her, her body language, her eyes and her whole posture. “How can we possible help?”

Alexa smiles at him. “Well, they plan to attack you during the race on the mountains in a few days. You could maybe bet for me? You win, I join your gang?”

“Why would we trust her?” Mona interrupts her.

“I know her, she says the truth. But to get rid off the Diamondbacks there is more to do than just betting you out of the crew.” Teppei thinks, pacing around the room.

“Well, I know another gang who could take care of them?” Logan suggests.

Teppei looks at him. “I listen.”

“Well, there is a gang with talented people, they are the most powerful gang here in Los Angeles. They could help us. For them the Diamondbacks are a pain in the ass as well.” Logan explains.

Teppei nods. “This sounds good. Go to that gang and ask them for help. While you Alexa, will stay with us. No need to put yourself back in danger to get information out of the Diamondbacks. The race in a few days is cancelled, we won’t arrive there, but…” Teppei looks over to Rosie in Logan’s arms. “You could get a message to your Dad? Only if it is okay?”

Rosie nods. “Of course, I can do that. I make it anonymous.”

Teppei nods. “Then it is settled. Bring the message to your father while Logan gets in contact with that other gang.

Logan and Rosie depart in Logan’s car and disappear for some hours. Ximena and Mona go and work on some tattoos while Toby and Colt work on Colt’s motorcycle who needs a new upgrade.

Teppei motions for Alexa to follow her into his office. She follows him and waits for him to say something. “How did you end up in the Diamondbacks?”

Alexa sighs and leans against the door. “Well, you remember I was only sixteen when I was in the Yakuza gang of your father? After your father, well died… I had to get my life into order. Tokyo had no future in store for me and I had to leave Japan completely and went back to the US. First, I was somewhere in Indiana, trying to get money and that wasn’t easy. Then I came to Los Angeles trying to find a home, it wasn’t easy as well. But then I met Pistol, the leader of the Diamondbacks who took me into the crew. It was my chance to get money and have a life. But when they started to get cruel and kill innocent people, it was too much and I wanted to leave. Then I saw you, at the meeting with Pistol. I sat in the car a few feet away. I knew you are my chance to leave the Diamondbacks. I remembered you, and looked for a chance to meet you alone.” Alexa explained detailed.

Teppei leans against his desk, crossing his legs and arms. “I can’t believe you had to do this. I really hoped you’d find a better life outside of Yakuza or Gang movements.”

Alexa walks over to him, and slowly reaches out to stroke over his tattoo. “You can never escape this life. I mean, neither could you.” Alexa whispers, stroking along his tattoo.

Teppei watches her face how she looks at him, like he is not a dangerous man, like everything he had to do in Japan, never happened.

Alexa looks back into his black eyes. “Will you ever remove this tattoo?”

Teppei shakes his head, not leaving her eyes. “It’s a part of me.” Teppei stands up to his full height and looks down to Alexa, stroking her cheek, full of desire. But when Teppei leans down the door bursts open and Colt comes in, telling him Logan and Rosie are back. Teppei steps away from Alexa and walks out but before that he looks back at her, longing for more but with bitter sad eyes.

Alexa sighs and walks out into the main room where the whole gang is gathered together. Logan starts to talk about the outcome with the dangerous gang.

“So the leader accepted to help us. He is right now working on finding their hideouts but I am sure your friend knows more.” Logan looks over to Alexa. “The faster they know where the whole gang is the better it works for Rosie’s father to work.”

“No, she won’t be put in danger.” Teppei demands.

Alexa steps in. “I am not more in danger than I already am. The hideout is behind the mountains close to the Los Angeles border. There is a small cave, where they always hide. I am sure that half of the gang will be present at the race but the other half in this cave.”

Teppei crosses his arms in front of his chest. “Alright, give the information to the leader of the gang, while Rosie send the message to your father now.”

They all nod and disappear.

“Now we can’t do anything else than wait.” Teppei says and disappears into his car.

Alexa stands in front of the crew watching Teppei drive off. The crew looks expectantly at Alexa. “Well, I think this is my clue to leave.”

Mona holds her back. “You can’t go back to the gang. They could sense something and you’ll be in danger. Kaneko wouldn’t let us hear the end if we let you go now.”

Colt looks at Alexa. “How do you even know my father?”

Alexa’s eyes widen. “Uh… I am not sure I should be the one telling you. I don’t know how much your father told you about his past.”

Colt sighs. “Literally nothing. He isn’t someone who speaks much about himself. Or shows his feelings openly.”

Alexa nods. “Yes, some things never change.” Alexa smiles lightly. “But I don’t want to force myself onto you. I can find a place to stay.”

“Nonsense. I have guestroom in my apartment. I could offer that to you.” Ximena suggests.

“You could, of course, also sleep on my couch. We don’t have a spare room. Rosie sleeps with Logan in one room, I have mine so we could give you the couch. So you are very close to this building instead of an apartment far away from the shop.”

“She will stay with me.” a dark voice comes from behind. They were discussing about her whereabouts intensively that they haven’t noticed Teppei being back.

“Uh, well I think the couch sounds great?” Alexa says but then looks back at Teppei.

“I have a room in my apartment, and it’s not far from here.” Teppei says leaning against his car motioning for her to get in.

For the past few weeks Alexa stayed with Teppei and despite the affection and longing, Teppei keeps her on arm length. Alexa doesn’t know why, she likes Teppei. She always did, even back when he was in the Yakuza with her. She just couldn’t tell him because he was the son of her boss, and it would not have been a great outcome.

But she wonders what could it be that he holds back now, despite all the magnetic feeling between them. Whenever they finger touch, they look at each other longer than they should. When their shoulder meet, it feels like the whole body is on fire. She can’t be the only one noticing this.

Alexa is a part of the Mercy Park Crew, for a long time. She has a good relationship to each member of the crew, especially Toby and Colt who talk a lot about cars and motorcycles. Colt even wanted her to buy one too, so she can raise against him, but Alexa never thought about it. She always loved the old-timer cars, just like Teppei’s car. Now she has a similar car like Teppei just in red.

One day Alexa has enough of Teppei’s holding her on arm length. She decided to speak up, it will be weird because indirectly he is her boss, but it can’t be only that. There is more between them, she knows it. When Alexa comes into the apartment, Teppei stands at the window, overlooking the town. When he hears the door close, he turns back to her.

“Can we talk?” Teppei suggests first.

Alexa narrows her eyes and nods. “I wanted to talk to you anyway.”

Teppei nods and motion for her to sit down on the sofa, next to him. He offers her a gin and juice. But she declines nicely. “I have to have a clear mind for this.”

Teppei narrows his eyes. “Do you want to leave the crew?”

Alexa eyes widen. “No! Gosh no!” Alexa shakes her head, and lays a reassuring hand on his thigh. But for the first time, he doesn’t pull back but stares at her, not in shock, more like full of desire.

Alexa swallows hard. She never was afraid of his gaze but right now, being so close to Teppei, feeling his gaze on her, a gaze that could take away her breath.

“Well, then I start to speak up?” Teppei whispers hoarse. Alexa can’t answer, she can only nod. Her throat suddenly very dry from the intoxicating gaze of Teppei.

“I am an idiot, I tried to deny it. Since you stood in front of me, I knew that I don’t want to let you go.” Teppei takes her hand in his, looking at their hands. “You are special to me, Alexa. You are from my past, but you were the only good thing from it. I always wanted to keep you safe and I failed the first time. I am not going to fail this time.” Teppei looks back into her eyes. “I am in love with you, Alexa.” he kisses her hand, not leaving her eyes. “I did it a long time, but I didn’t know where you were.” he looks down. “But I had to keep you on arm length because how stupid does it sound, while I have a twenty-two years old son.” he stands up and walks over to the window, looking out again.

Alexa gets up and hugs Teppei from behind, and kisses his back. “I don’t care that you have a son, if this is what was bothering you. Colt is a great man, you did great work. And you have all the right to fall in love with someone. I did too. You haven’t promised me anything, Teppei.”

Teppei turns around in his arms and looks down to her. “So, you believe me when I say that you are important to me?”

Alexa nods and strokes his cheek. “Yes, I do.”

Teppei cups her face, stroking her hair behind her ear. “I longed for your touch. Every time you were so close.”

Alexa stands up on her tip toes, looking into his black eyes, and pulling him down a bit, to put her lips close to his, waiting for permission.

Teppei inhales and his grip on her intensifies. Alexa takes this as a permission and crashes her lips onto his. Teppei kisses her back immediately, passionately and full of desire. His hands roam across of her body, along her back to her hips, pulling her up.

She puts her legs around his torso, not daring to stop kissing her. He lays her down onto the couch and hovers over her. Kissing her lips, her neck – inhaling her scent, savouring every touch of her like there is no tomorrow.

Alexa cups his face and grabs his hair and let out a small moan when he kissed a sensitive spot on her neck. “Teppei…”

Teppei comes up and looks down to her, stroking her hair. “I want to take you on a date first.” Teppei whispers hoarse after the kiss.

Alexa smiles at him, stroking his hair. “Haven’t thought that behind this tough guy is actually a romantic.”

Teppei chuckles. “Well, I am a man of honours. Even though I already know you, I want to do this the right way.”

Alexa smiles. “This sounds great.”

Teppei kisses her one more time before standing back up, pulling her with her. “Maybe let’s have the date tomorrow night? So, you have enough time to get some new clothes?”

Alexa nods. “Sounds very good. It’s a shame it’s too late for it now.”

“A huge shame.” He winks at her and kisses her cheek. “Good night.” Teppei walks towards his room and smirks back at her.

Alexa shakes her head and walks into his room, not before winking at him. He can hear him laugh and close his door. She is glad that Teppei sad everything first, because now her problem is gone too, and she can look forward to the date tomorrow.

The next day, Alexa is desperately looking for a beautiful dress, fitting for a gangster. She sighs when suddenly Mona and Colt come around the corner. “Figured out, you might have problems finding the right clothes.” Mona grins.

“So, we are here to help.” Colt grins as well.

Alexa arches his eyebrow at him. Colt rolls his eyes. “You weren’t very secretly about your feelings, neither Dad nor you.” Colt chuckles at Alexa’s flushed cheeks. “I support this relationship. It is the first time I see my Dad smile. Weird.” Colt shudders playfully. Mona hit his shoulder and shakes her head.

“Back to the important matters. Dress.” Mona looks through the clothes and whispers. “too plain, too colourful, too long … aha” Mona takes out a beautiful figure-hugging dress in black.

Alexa looks at the dress. “Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Mona arches her eyebrow. “Excuse me? You are talking to me Mona, the most fashionable person in the whole Crew.”

Colt snort and hides his laugh behind a cough. Mona narrows his eyes at him. “Try it on first. You will see it is perfect.”

Alexa goes into the cabin and puts on the dress. And she hates to say it but Mona was right. The dress is perfect. And it reveals her fainted dragon tattoo. She smiles to herself and goes out to Mona and Colt whose eyes widen.

“Wow.” Mona says looking at her. “I told you, this dress is perfect, didn’t I?”

Alexa nods and looks into the mirror. “Yes, I love it. And now I can’t wait for the date.”

Colt looks on her shoulder. “You had a similar tattoo like my father?”

Alexa nods and looks at Colt through the mirror. “Yes, we know each other from this.”

“He was in the Yakuz- ii.” Colt changes the word as a person walks by.

Mona and Alexa laugh at that. “Yes, and so were I.” Alexa responds. But instead of keeping it, I let it be removed, at least to this point. It is still visible but not as strong as it is on your father’s shoulder.”

Faster than she thought, the date with Teppei arrived. She does her last touches on her outfit and walks out of her room to the living room where Teppei waits with black jeans and a black shirt with his sleeves rolled up, reveals the tattoo MPC on his arm.

Alexa smiles at the unusual sight of him. She would have never expected him to look any better or to wear something like this but here he is, standing in front of her, more handsome than ever.

Teppei hears her shoes on the floor and looks up to her. At the sight of her he smiles. “Wow, you look incredible.” Teppei smiles and walks over to her and puts one arm around her waist, giving her a kiss. “Ready?”

Alexa nods and can’t stop smiling. “Where do you take me?”

“You’ll see.” Teppei walks to his car and opens the door for her. Alexa sits in and together they drive along the streets of Los Angeles.

“Do you remember how my Dad always took us to that one restaurant in Tokyo?” Teppei suddenly interrupts the silence.

“Yes, I actually do. It was always so delicious.” Alexa reminisces.

“I found a similar restaurant here in West Hollywood. I know the owner so we can eat there without any problems.”

Alexa smiles. “That sounds lovely, already.”

A short drive later they arrive at their table.

They sit down and Alexa looks around. “This whole room fits to our clothes.” Alexa grins. Teppei chuckles and gives her the menu.

“Choose whatever you want.” Teppei smiles and opens it to look through it.

“Oh, how smart. I can’t see the price.” Alexa chuckles and looks through the food that are offered.

Teppei smiles and closes his menu after choosing the Wagyu. “I’ll take the Robusuta Wagu, please.” Alexa smiles.

Teppei smiles too and nods. Alexa and Teppei eat mostly in silence, only sometimes they talk about some old days and how Colt supports this.

A short time later they are back on the road to go back to Teppei’s apartment.

“This, was delicious.” Alexa smiles and leans back, sipping on her wine.

“I am delighted to hear that you liked it. And don’t think I haven’t seen you trying to look at the bill.” Teppei smiles over to her before looking back to the street.

Alexa laughs. “You know I am curious.”

“I know that, yes. But I prefer you not knowing what I paid.” Teppei puts his hand over to her and holds her hand in his.

In his apartment they walk in and Teppei turns to her and the moment the door closes he crashes his lips on hers, pushing her against the door, gently. He strokes through her hair, and lightly bite her lower lip. Alexa moans and strokes through his hair. Teppei strokes along her back to remove her dress. He looks at her and bites his lower lip. “You are so beautiful, gosh. Teppei groans and puts his lips back on hers. He can feel her hands, opening each button of his shirt, then stroking along his chest over his muscles. Teppei moans into her mouth. He walks her slowly over to the bedroom but not leaving her lips.

Alexa’s legs collide with the bed and she falls onto the bed. She looks up to Teppei who slowly leans down kissing along her stomach, slowly but focusing on her chest, making her arch her back. “Teppei…”

He kisses her again, and gently stroke along her back, to open her bra. Then he puts down the straps, while kissing his way along her shoulder. “Teppei… you tease.”

Teppei smirks and removes her bra and throws it somewhere into the room. Teppei sits up and opens his belt and jeans and puts them down. During this Alexa removes her pants and reveals her body completely to him. Teppei hovers over her, his erection teasing her entrance. “Teppei…”

This is all he needed to enter her slowly and gently. Alexa breathes in and grabs his arm. Teppei kisses her cheek and gives them both time to adjust to the feeling of them being so close. Alexa opens her eyes and kisses Teppei, signalising for him to move. He moves in a gentle movement, leaning down onto her body, kissing her neck and back to her lips. Savouring this whole moment. Alexa and Teppei move in sync, enjoying the moment, being as close as possible.

After Teppei increases the speed of the movement, Alexa feels the feeling in her lower abdomen, telling her she is close. “Teppei…I am close.” Alexa, grabs the bedsheets with her left hand, while her right hand is on Teppei’s back, grabbing his skin, when she reaches her orgasm. Teppei kisses her trying to muffle the moans. It doesn’t take much more moves for Teppei to reach his release, he groans into the crook of her neck.

He crashes down next to her on the bed, and looks at her smiling. After he cleaned her, he puts the blanket around them, and holds her close. Alexa lays down onto his chest, listening to his heartbeat, step by step slowing down. She strokes small circles on his chest, and smiles whole-heartedly.

“I love you, Teppei.” Alexa admits for the first time.

Teppei smiles and kisses her on her hair. “I love you too, Alexa.” He pulls her close to him. “Stay the night here.” he whispers, closing his eyes.

Alexa nods and looks down at him, stroking along his face. “I’d love to do that.”

Together, arm in arm they fall asleep.

The next morning, Alexa is wakened up by the sun shining through the huge windows of Teppei’s penthouse. When Alexa looks over, he still sleeps peacefully with a smile on his face. Alexa has to smile too and slowly leans down, tickling him with her hair and some feather light kisses on his chest and cheek.

Teppei stirs and looks over to her, and smiling. He strokes through her hair and wishes her a good morning. His voice his still husk from the night. He sits up and kisses her. “How did you sleep?”

“Lovely. I never slept any better than this night.” Alexa responds.

“Are you ready for breakfast?” Teppei smiles and stands up, putting on his boxer and only this. Alexa puts on his black shirt and follows him into the kitchen.

She cuddles on his chest and looks into the fridge. “Well, gangsters don’t have much food huh?”

Teppei chuckles. “Well, I never need any food, I just buy some on the road. Colt has his own apartment so why should I have food in the fridge.”

“Well, now that I am here. You should definitely change it because I am not going to eat always some fast food from the street.”

Teppei grins and kisses her forehead. “Well, I could offer you some eggs and bacon?”

“Sounds like a good breakfast.”

“And at least I have coffee.” Teppei holds up the coffee.

“Well, then this will be a perfect breakfast after all.” Alexa jokes making Teppei laugh and shaking his head.

Teppei never thought that his life would turn out like this. That the young girl back in the Yakuza will be the woman on his side now. But he doesn’t mind at all, he looks forward to it. And right now, his life doesn’t look as dark and bad as it used to, instead it looks like everything will be good. And he is sure that Alexa will help him with Colt, increasing the relationship to him. Teppei knows he was harsh to Colt, but he just meant well, and showing emotions wasn’t easy, but with Alexa the leopard can change his spot. And he can’t be any happier about the fact that Colt supports the relationship between Alexa and him.

Maybe his life turns out to be a great life after all.

And Alexa? She can’t believe that after all these years, she got the men she liked back in the Yakuza. She can’t believe that it’s her who is allowed to wake up next to him every morning, share kisses and beside that work together with him in a gang that has nothing to do with huge illegal work.

Her life turns out be a great life after all.

Together they can do whatever they want, and with the help of their Crew nothing is impossible.

Genshin Impact Fanfic Masterlist

Genshin is probably the fandom I’m most active in right now, so please check back to this masterlist for updates!

Important notes:

All links are for AO3.

The rating of each fic is given. E (explicit) is for 18+, M (mature) is for 16+ and T (teen) is for 13+.

I am a young adult who writes primarily adult content. As such, a lot of these fics have smut, violence and dark themes. Please only click on E rated fics if you’re 18 or over and read the tags carefully at the start of each fic.

Most of these fics are x Reader (F or GN - each has been marked), but a couple are x Traveller. I’ve put all of these under the same heading to make this list as simple as possible. Any other ships will be in the ‘Multiple Characters’ section. For example, Dainsleif x GN!Reader and Dainsleif x Lumine will both appear under the ‘Dainsleif’ heading, but Dainsleif x Kaeya will appear under ‘Multiple Characters’.

Fics have been organised by region, then character. Longfics (ie. those more than a couple of chapters have their own section.)

I haven’t written word counts for short fics to make this easier to read, but in general, drabbles are less than 1000 words and one-shots are 1000-5000 words.

Please note that this masterlist is for Genshin Impact only. More fics can be found in my Dialovers and Otome/General masterlists.

Fluff Alphabet (Teppei Kaneko)

A = Attractive what do they find attractive about the other?

Kaneko respects Chia’s determination, because once she sets her mind on something, she’s hellbent on getting it, and she always gets what she wants. It’s actually due to her stubbornness that they ended up together in a relationship. While he was reluctant, Chia persevered and eventually wormed her way into his heart and bed. He could hardly remember which came first. He honestly used to think this part of her rather irritating, but grew to respect and adore it, remembering how her chin was tilted up in defiance and her eyes glinted with a dangerous, cocky gleam that promised that she’ll win in the end.

Kaneko has also only seen her work the courtroom a few times and each time, it’s like watching an orchestrator conducting the musicians as everyone played to her tune. Her intellect is definitely something to be admired.

Physically, Kaneko is a sucker for her hands. The gentle touch of them and how they graze him when they pass each other sends a high through him. How he yearns to hold her hand so openly, but he has an image to uphold that dares to want to crumble for her, but he can’t, and she understands.

B = Baby do they want a family? why/why not?

Kaneko is adamant about having no more children, he’s content enough with Colt, even though he was an accident. Also, he sees how he raised Colt and sees the man that Colt is becoming and it’s a scalding reminder that he was not the father he wished to be for his son, so he’s not sure he can handle anymore heartbreak in that aspect. He struggles greatly enough with his role as head of the MPC, having more children just complicates things… But honestly, the MPC are something of a family to him, even though they leave; especially because they leave, since it’s like watching kids grow up and leaving the nest is what he imagines. At least, that’s how he views it with Logan and now Brie in the mix. It doesn’t help that Chia adds to the narrative of family, but he appreciates his time with Colt just a bit more now thanks to that.

C = Cuddle how do they cuddle?

Exclusively in private. Kaneko is not big on large displays of PDA, unlike Chia, but she respects that. When they cuddle, it’s occasionally on the couch at his apartment after a tiring day; otherwise, their bed (a fact that Chia surprisingly forgets often, and Kaneko is the one to remind her). At the sofa, he reclines in the corner and Chia’s back is against his chest. His arm that’s not seated on the back of the sofa is draped over Chia’s torso, and her head lolls to the crook of his shoulder. He has to have a leg off the couch to accommodate having two people almost lying down on the couch, especially if she’s sitting between his legs. It’s casual and relaxed, like a married couple settling down on the couch to watch a movie. It’s a scene of domesticity that they both secretly wish for.

In bed, they’re both lying down and Kaneko is the big spoon. He of course has an arm draped over her, and a leg in between hers. A favourite thing that Kaneko does that Chia likes is when he has his arm under their pillow and she practically has her head resting on it. Kaneko doesn’t mind in the moment but definitely finds the lack of blood circulation to his arm annoying in the morning.

Funny thing, they’re rather anal about whose side is whose. Even when Chia is gone, Kaneko feels odd taking up her space on her side of the bed, but occasionally finds himself on her side anyway after dreams that has him longing for her to come back home.

D = Dates what are dates with them like?

Sometimes nights out on the town, just the two of them going out for dinner while the MPC takes care of themselves. Their dates can be extravagant or comfy, meaning a popular restaurant that requires a dress code or a diner with some homemade sloppy joes. It just depends on their mood. In either instance, Kaneko is the one that insists on driving them and having an ambience of romance about their date night, wanting to spoil Chia, you could say, despite Chia being the one to often suggest these getaways. Honestly, it’s his way of saying thank you for taking the initiative, as he’s still put off by romance, even though they’ve been together for years. And typically, their dates end up heated.

Other times, they just stay at his apartment and they order takeout or try and cook a meal together if they’re not so tired. It’s relaxed, but no less meaningful. They follow-up with cuddling on the couch. If they’re feeling fancy, a shared shower and then a hot bath in their rather modest tub; however, it’s big enough that it works for them.

E = Everything you are my ____ (e.g my life, my world…)

“You are my partner,” he said assuredly, deep brown eyes gazing into what she felt was her soul. “In every way,” he promised. And she believed him.

F = Feelings when did they know they were falling in love?

When Colt accepted her into their life, and started viewing her as family, as a mother figure. Seeing her treat Colt like he was her blood was heartwarming to him, and also assuring, because aside from Colt’s biological mother, Kaneko knows that Colt will have someone else to depend on if something were to ever happen to him. He sees and hears how vulnerable Colt allows himself to be around Chia, and while Kaneko is envious, he’s also grateful for this saving grace in Colt’s life.

He knew he was indefinitely in love when he began scouring all of Asia for pieces of jade jewellery for Chia, because he knows she has a special fondness for them. He almost has an entire set of jade jewellery for her… except a ring, which Chia likes to jokingly point out in reference to marriage.

G = Gentle are they gentle? If so, how?

Kaneko is surprisingly tender man, but only for those he cares for. He lets his touches linger on Chia for a beat or two, like when he grasps her arm to gain her attention or touching the small of her back to steer her a certain direction. Also, on occasion, if Kaneko is sitting at the table beside her, he’ll have his hand touching hers, but not holding it. Usually, he’s just a scooch bit closer to her than he would be to others. Honestly though, he enjoys being able to be physically near her as it’s getting rarer by the day.

H = Hand/Hold how do they like to hold? how do they like to hold hands?

They hold hands within occasion, and when it does happen, it’s in his car while he’s driving. One hand over the one handling the stick shift. It’s a familiar place and a private environment. Typically it’s just one hand laying on the other, and rarely is it something like intertwined fingers, unless they’re at their apartment and he wants to express gratitude to her by laying a kiss to the back of her hand. And Chia is the one that usually initiates it, so her hand is almost always over his. It’s rare to see his hand over hers, and surprisingly, when that happens, it’s in public places, like the garage, and happens likely because he misses her or he’s comforting her.

I = Impression first impression/s

Surprised by her upbeat, bubbly personality. He didn’t think she was cut out for this life of deceit and thought she’d croak within a minute. How wrong he was. He also assumed that he’d find her tiresome. However, he did have to admit…. she had a nice ass…

Chia thought he was hot, simple as that, especially when he had his sleeves rolled up. He also didn’t seem like the type to smile much, which is a shame she thought, because that would’ve upped his handsomeness. She also knew that she wanted him.

J = Joker are they into pulling pranks?

They like to pull tiny pranks on each other, like Chia putting salt in his black coffee, and out of spite he’d drink ALL of it with a smirk on his face. Kaneko likes to tap her shoulder whenever he passes by her so when she looks over her shoulder, she sees nothing until she looks over her other shoulder and sees him. She’s a bit of a pouter until he kisses her his apologies (he’s not actually sorry though, he just likes kissing her).

You never really see this playful attitude from him though in public, and only RARELY around the crew.

K = Kisses how do they kiss?

Softly at first, as if he’s seeing if she’s truly there in front of him. Then, but only in private, does it get a bit more seeking and passionate, trying to now affirm that she’s here.

Otherwise, rather chaste and fleeting if the situation disallows them to kiss properly, like when someone is about to come in and they want to steal one more kiss. It’s happened plenty of times in their earlier years because Colt has poor timing.

Kisses are also considered a private thing between them, unless Chia was to peck him quickly on the cheek or even the lips if she’s quick enough. Kaneko is shocked by them and a bit uncomfortable, but also secretly enjoys the surprise within occasion, which Chia can tell.

L = Little things what little things do they love/notice?

Kaneko notices how in certain situations, Chia will stand closer to Colt if he’s threatened in the least. It could be someone giving lip to Colt or perhaps he’s in tangible danger. Even when Kaneko and Colt are having a disagreement, he’ll notice that she’s just a bit closer to Colt than him. It’s evident that she has taken on a mothering role over him, and Kaneko honestly has mixed feelings about it. On one hand, he’s grateful that Colt has someone to depend on and will protect him in instances where he can’t, but also it’s a gaping reminder of what he couldn’t provide for Colt when he was growing up, a parental figure.

M = Memory their favorite moment together

The first time they were together. It felt like there was nothing beyond the room, it was just the two of them that existed. He could shed his titles and responsibilities and give into her finally. It was all adding up to that moment since they first met, and it didn’t disappoint.

N = Nickel do they spoil? do they buy the person they love everything?

He spoils her lavishly, which is why he is also known as a jewel procurer, particularly jade jewellery, because it’s her favourite stone. Whenever he travels to Asia for any reason, he always gets her 1 piece of jade jewellery that is slowly accumulating to entire sets. However, she likes to joke that she’s missing the most important part, the ring. Joke’s on her, because he actually does have the ring… he’s just waiting for the right moment...

O = Orange what color reminds them of their other half

Jade, the colour of her favourite stone that shines on her ears, wrists and neck, all gifts from him and intricately detailed. The gem of her childhood she claims, recounting to him that her fondness of them came from her grandma that passed all her jade jewellery to her, but was unfortunately lost at one point. Her nostalgia for them became the basis of his gift-giving habits.

P = Petnames what petnames do they use?

He tends to refer to her by name no matter the circumstance. It’s during the most tender of moments will he slip up and call her “dear”.

She usually likes to call him, Te. This nickname is spoken only in front of him and the crew.

Q = Questions what are the questions they’re always asking?

“Why me? Why go for the most emotionally stunted man that struggles to grasp the hand of the woman he adores with his entire heart? Why doesn’t she go for a person that can smile as brightly as her and won’t be so timid in their affections for her?”

R = Remember their favorite memory of each other

When they were swaying on the dance floor of a high end restaurant, enjoying themselves despite actually being on a mission. They were dancing to “Unforgettable” being played live for the clientele to enjoy and bask in. It was an incredibly intimate moment for them as Kaneko is not one to do PDA. Also, it felt like they were in an alternate reality in that moment, living a life that wasn’t theirs, wherein they were a normal couple celebrating their anniversary rather than on a covert mission to meet with a buyer.

S = Sad how do they cheer themselves/each other up

Kaneko would be the one to initiate physical affection, going to kiss her cheek or perhaps hold her hand if he so dared. He would also clear out his schedule for the day to cuddle with her on the couch and watch whatever she wants. He’d also offer to cook or order out for them. It’s simple and domestic, something that Chia so desperately wants in life, and during her worst moments can he indulge her in this fantasy where they aren’t always on edge and worrying if they’re gonna get caught.

If they’re far apart, he’ll chat with her for as long as she needs, letting her vent or simply leaving the phone on while neither talk as a form of connection. Also, he’d often say to her “I’m not there… but I am here.” as a sort of gentle reminder that he’s a constant and that no matter what, she can return home to him at the end of the week if she so desired, while also being a simple encouragement that he’s supporting her.

He cheers himself up by going on a drive along the ocean shore where he would take Colt as a child. Sometimes he’d park by that cliff and get out to get some sea breeze air to clear his mind. He also would call Chia and vent to her about any of his troubles and seeking her guidance. While she is younger than him by a couple of years, he can’t deny her intellect and analysing skills. It is after all the reason why she works with interpol.

T = Talking what do they love to talk about?

It’s a double-edged sword, but Colt. He loves hearing her gush about how much she adores him and considers him a son, but also he feels detached from this because he doesn’t see Colt a lot or they aren’t on good terms. However, their situation has been slowly improving, so Kaneko occasionally chimes in with his progress with him.

They also like filling each other about events they weren’t able to message each other about, like her finished cases and his successful plans. Also, if they haven’t figured out a solution to their specific predicaments, they tend to bounce ideas off of each other and give input as well. It actually helps them to see the solution to their dilemma. It can be as simple as pointing out something or actively offering their help to the other.

U = Universe use a metaphor, what are they to each other? (e.g he was the universe, ever-changing and mysterious)

He was a warning sign, stern but tempting to break.

V = Very ___ their thoughts about each other (e.g she’s very smart, he’s very stubborn, they’re very annoying etc.)

“She’s very stubborn,” he remarks and laughs. “But I like that about her… She’s not one to give up easily…” He smiles. “It’s also due to her stubbornness that we’re together now. While I was reluctant, she never gave up and…” he sighs. “I’m actually happy she never stopped trying to worm herself into my heart…”

W = Why reasons why they love each other

Chia loved the challenge he posed at the start, and after winning she got addicted to the sense of winning just by surpassing his expectations and sticking with him. It’s like a high to her to be with him. Also helps that she thinks his tattoos are beyond hot.

Kaneko adores her intellect and perseverance, but also her gentle nature that greatly contrasts with his. She’s like a missing piece, and she genuinely makes him want to do better and be a better person.

X = Xylophone What’s their song?

“Unforgettable” - Nat King Cole

Y = You’re the ___ to my ___ (e.g the cookies to my milk, the macaroni to my cheese)

“She’s the racer to my car,” he chuckles, “Without her, I’d be stagnant and never move my life forward,” he pauses. “And I’d never would have tried with Colt if it weren’t for her.”

Z = Zebra if they wanted a pet, what pet would they get?

A dog! Because Chia adores them and Kaneko finds them practical in terms of having them serve as guards for the garage.

The past week has been an endless test on Colt’s patience. If it had been up to him, a weekend trip would have had this all over and done with, not to mention a steak buffet for two for a couple hundred dollars.

Instead, he’s standing in a gauzy white tent, fussing with the sleeves of his tailored suit. At least no one tried to talk him into wearing a tuxedo, recalling the way Logan looked like a waiter when he took Jin to prom. He smirks to himself, recalling that night, so many years ago.

In reality, more than a decade has passed, and though they all look the same, they definitely aren’t the same people. Colt looks at his reflection in the small mirror hanging from the tent frame, and for a moment, he wishes his father was still alive. He wonders what his old man would think of what was about to go down, whether he’d made the right choices to get to this moment.

He never thought he would have gone into business with the punk that tried to take his place when they were teenagers, for starters. When Teppei brought Logan into the crew, he saw something in him. It took Colt a few more years to see that potential, and it took the presence of a once-naive teenager named Jinrae to set things in motion.

While he stands firm in the belief that they could have been the King and Queen of LA, Jin’s roll of the dice laid out a different path for everyone in her orbit. The garage is there, and it brings in more than enough money through repairs and rebuilds, not to mention the custom work Logan’s side of the business lures in from shinier clientele. They’ve got money to burn and the shop helps them burn it. Colt spends more time recruiting talented mechanics and engineers at sideshows than he ever did racing or entertaining temporary affections.

Then there was the one that knocked him for a loop and managed to work a long game on him. Even then, it was Jin’s doing that seemed to kickstart things, through her little meatball-headed daughter. Colt never really liked dating anyone that he worked with, especially if he was the one in charge of actually paying them to be there, but Jordan had been an exception from day one.

She proved to be an exception every day since then as well. She was the first woman to give him flowers, and it quickly became something they did for each other through the course of their relationship. She’d leave him origami roses on the steps to the loft, on the nights he’d stay at work late to study. He’d leave bright pink flowers on her doorstep on her days off; roses, tulips, and especially lilies.

Jordan was the whole reason he was standing in a white tent, getting ready to stand in front of their families instead of eloping somewhere on the Vegas Strip. He checks his watch for the time, wondering where Logan is. It was customary for the Best Man to be with the groom before the ceremony, making sure the groom didn’t run off or go do something stupid. Colt would do neither of those things. Not today.

The flap behind him parts open, and Toby’s head peeks in. “Hey, Colt, you got a minute?”

Colt’s jaw clenches, and he adjusts the tiny succulent boutonniere pinned to his lapel.

“Colt, I know you’re still mad at me over the unsolicited mud fight, but can you please come here for just a second, and bring a towel?”

Colt’s head whips around in annoyance. “What? Why? Do I look like housekeeping to you?”

Toby steps into the small space, and Colt isn’t sure if he should laugh or blow a gasket at the sight before him. He sputters out a laugh so hard he doubles over. “Dude,” Toby scoffs. “Little help?”

Colt has tears in his eyes, and his ribs ache from laughing. When his laughter finally subsides, he stares at his friend, wiping away the last few tears. “W-why,” he stammers, trying to compose himself. “Why didn’t you just ask one of the hotel staff for something to clean up? I’m kinda busy, about to get married and all.” He stretches his arm a bit and flicks his wrist, casting a cursory glance at his watch. “Did you see Logan out there?”

“He was dealing with a, uh, code brown situation with the baby,” Toby answers, grabbing a few tissues from a box on a side table. “Full-on blowout.”

“You’re no better.” Colt clicks his tongue, sighs, and begins to slip off his suit jacket. He removes the cufflinks from the sleeves before unbuttoning his shirt. “Hurry up and gimme your shirt already,” he stage whispers. “I know you didn’t pack an extra one, and my jacket ought to cover most of it.” The last thing he wants to do is hold up the schedule because one of his groomsman can't stay clean for five-fucking-minutes.

“Thank you thank you thank you!” It all comes out as one word as Toby removes his shirt, and they swap clothes.

Five minutes later, Logan finally appears, offering Colt tiny bottles of vodka or scotch if he needs a drink. Colt waves it off, and they leave the tent to take first look photos before guests start to arrive for the ceremony. While they’re waiting, he sends Logan on one last mission for him, and Logan takes off with a determined look in his eyes.

The photographer leads Colt out to a small clearing overlooking the ocean; he’s instructed to keep his eyes on the water until Jordan arrives. Never one to want to follow rules, he turns his head to follow the photographer, who warns him playfully, but steps close enough to block his view until he returns his gaze to the sea. It doesn’t take long before he hears two sets of camera shutters rapidly clicking, and he knows she’s close.

“Fancy meeting you here,” Jordan teases, though Colt can hear the nerves in her voice. “Not thinking about jumping, are you?”

He grins at her question. “The day’s still young, never know,” he fires back. He pivots in place, coal eyes landing on the grass at her feet, before trailing up to see Jordan in her wedding dress. He’s seen it on the hanger for weeks, but seeing her in ivory silk takes his breath away. Her shockingly pink hair is a softer and rosier hue, making her look like some sort of ethereal goddess. It’s possible he’s falling in love with her all over again.

“What. The. Fuck. Is. THAT?” Jordan’s smile fades and her eyes go wide as she surveils Colt’s appearance.

He drops his gaze down to his shirt, then back up to her, reaching for her hands. It’s a clumsy move since she’s wielding a massive flower bouquet. “Minor mishap. Spilled my drink getting ready.”

“Your shirt is all stained!” She stares at the splotches of rosé that aren’t hidden by the buttoned jacket.

“Seriously, good luck marrying me,” he replies, shrugging his shoulders. He squeezes her hand gently in his, and Jordan shakes her head, but there’s a smile playing across her glossy lips. “Can’t take me anywhere, Tanaka, you’ll see.” He takes a half step towards her, a slight breeze in the air causing the perfume he loves so much to drift off her skin.

“That...is not your shirt,” Jordan whispers, batting her lashes up at the man that will soon be her husband. She hefts her bouquet in one hand so she can use her other hand to cup the side of his face, tapping manicured fingers on his shoulder.

“What?”

“The buttons,” she answers, tilting her chin down. “Those are circuit boards.” She looks up into Colt’s eyes; mischief flickers in his gaze, though his expression is serious. “I don’t even wanna know why, but five bucks says you’re wearing Toby’s shirt and he’s probably wearing yours.”

“No idea what you’re talking about.” Colt smirks, then captures Jordan’s lips in a PG-level kiss for the photographers. When they pull apart, his head is spinning, and she knows she’ll have to retouch her gloss.

Out of the corner of his eye, Colt sees a blur of movement in blue, then blush pink. He grins softly and kisses Jordan again. “Saved by the nerd brigade,” he jokes, tapping her shoulder.

Logan and Jin stand off to the side, waving a fresh shirt from a hanger, smiling and waving at their friends. In an almost choreographed move, Jin begins walking towards the bride and groom along with Jordan’s sisters, all wearing dresses in the same shade of pink. Colt kisses Jordan’s cheek one more time, then strides quickly towards Logan, who’s found a spot to hang the shirt and is already unbuttoning it so Colt can change for the third time today. “What the hell took you so long?”

“One, you’re welcome, asshole,” Logan jeers, draping Colt’s jacket over one arm. “Two, a golf cart is not my Devore, no matter how hard I was Fred Flinstoning the gas.”

Colt sets his lips into a hard line, then shrugs. “You get the other thing I asked for?”

Logan snaps his fingers and looks around for a canvas tote Jin had with her, pulling forth a single stargazer lily. He hands it to Colt once he’s slipped his jacket on, just in time for the photographers to call over the groom and his groomsmen for more photos.

The look on Jordan’s face when she notices the flower is enough to make him forget about running off to Vegas.

I am SO thrilled that you liked it darling!! I imagine that they burned bright and strong just burned up. But I believe there really was love there.

We talked about it the other day, but I think this is the only way it could have ended for Teppei, and was the best thing he could do for his son at this point- for the whole crew.

And he gets to be with Layla one last time through the song.

Thanks so much for reading my friend!!

Only Two Ways Out Of This Place

A/N: Well. It’s not a secret that I don’t very much like Kaneko. After he used Logan as a placeholder for Colt and then admitted that he didn’t care what happened to Logan, I honestly was so ready for that explosive collision on that bridge. But! Even I in my infinite hate for the man, think that he is just a product of his decisions and the things he couldn’t change. So, with the help of the Airborne Toxic Event’s California, (give it a listen- it’s perfect.) this happened. AND ITS ACTUALLY A ONE SHOT.

Pairing: Teppei Kaneko x Layla (OC)

Word Count: 1,704

Warning: character death

The adrenaline from the previous night’s job was still coursing through his veins, but the real reason for the light and carefree way Teppei Kaneko was feeling was sitting in the passenger seat. Layla. He glanced sidelong at her as the warm summer breeze came off the water and in through the open windows as they drove up the coast, picking up her long dark hair, making it dance across her face. His smile widened and his chest flooded with warmth as she giggled at the way it tickled her bare shoulders, and she twisted it around her fingers, wrapping it up and tying it in a knot at the nape of her neck. She reached forward and turned the knob on the stereo to increase the volume, winking at him as she did. It was her favorite song- a little too romantic for Teppei’s taste, but he’d never deny her the chance to listen to it. She sang along with the words, her voice clear and bright, ringing through the air like a bell. She’d close her eyes and scrunch her face up with emotion at certain lyrics, and it would hit him hard, right in the heart, whenever she did. She swayed and moved her shoulders as the song’s rhythm changed, and seeing her feel the music was one of the most beautiful sights he’d ever set his 20 year old eyes on.

He’d met her about a month before, stalled on the side of the road, sitting on the hood of a silver Mercedes Benz with her knees pulled to her chest and tears streaking her perfectly tanned cheeks. Cars were zooming past her as though the drivers didn’t see her. But she was all he could see, and even if he wanted to it, he couldn’t just drive on. Something seemed to call him to her, something strong and irreversible. He’d flashed her his best “how can I help you?” smile, the one he used with the customers at his father’s shop- the legitimate customers, anyway- and she looked at him with such helplessness that it broke his heart. She explained that she had borrowed her father’s car, taken it for a joy ride after a bad day, but had stalled out far from home. She didn’t have to go into detail for him to know that her father wasn’t entirely privy to her little excursion; or that she didn’t seem to have the best relationship with the man. He assured her that he’d have her up and running again before her father ever noticed that she was gone, and she’d assured him that her father would notice the car’s absence before her own, but she thanked him and wiped at her tears. When he finished, he offered to take her out for a milkshake, and from that soda shop rendezvous, an unlikely relationship began between the Doctor’s daughter and the Crime Boss’ son.

Once a week milkshakes had turned into almost daily meetups, Teppei completing his father’s tasks at double speed just to get as much time with Layla as he possibly could. He’d become enslaved to the way she made him feel, but every time her thin arms came around his shoulders, or her bubblegum lips rested against his, or her hair fell against his face like fathers, he was the most willing prisoner in all of Los Angeles. He wondered if she felt trapped by him like he did by her; wondered if she would second guess her judgement for throwing her lot in with him and the crew as quickly and as wholly as she had. Glancing over at her in the fading orange glow of late afternoon, the light playing with the colorful beaded necklace she wore, her fingers dangling out the window, the knot she’d tied in her hair falling out like it always did to spill back over her shoulders, he was suddenly overcome with the need to memorize her every movement, her every freckle and every strand of her hair. Suddenly he was hit with the feeling that this could never last. Nothing gold can stay, that’s what he’d always heard. She caught him looking and he softened his features, melted by her eyes. Nothing gold can stay, but he’d hold on like hell for as long as he could.

That night they’d joined the crew at the beach, their cars all circled together in the parking lot, someone’s stereo blasting music, a case of beer in a cooler. He could remember the floral pattern of Layla’s dress and the way the soft material felt bunched up in his hands as he kissed her. He could remember her face lighting up as she raised her voice to be heard over the blare of the speakers, but he’d forgotten what she’d said. He could remember the way her body felt pressed to his, but couldn’t remember the song that they danced to. It was the sort of night that he’d spend years wondering if it really happened, or if it was just a dream; just the ethereal remnants of her memory, gliding through his mind like she had done through his life.

Despite knowing that it was destined for disaster from the get go, a full year later they were twined even more indelibly together, as the word “love” flowed freely from their lips across the console of her father’s car- borrowed for another excursion, though Teppei had taught her how to properly drive a stick shift, so there was no fear of stalling this time. They’d been discussing their future- something that he hadn’t given much thought to before meeting her. Until meeting Layla, Kaneko’s future consisted of one thing and one thing only: taking over the Mercy Park Crew from his father, when it was time. He’d been clear with Layla about it since day one, and from that time she’d assured him that she was on board, all in, ready to cast her die. She’d even started driving on some jobs for the crew. At first Teppei hated that- hated that she was putting herself in danger, that she was putting herself on the line. But one look at the fire in her eyes told him that she’d made her decision and nothing that he said could change it. He realized then that he’d never had a choice; not when it came to Layla.

When they found out that she was pregnant, he told her that he didn’t want her driving anymore- didn’t want her involved with the crew anymore, wanted to keep her safe. He thought he’d be met with pushback, thought she’d light that fire in her eyes and burn him into submission again. But to his immense surprise, he was met with desperation in her eyes, not flames, as finally she grasped what he’d been telling her all along: that nothing gold can stay- that he wasn’t Midas, but even if he was, a golden touch did nothing but smother, shining as it killed whatever it came in contact with.

“Leave with me, Teppei. Leave. With me, with our son,” she pleaded. He hated himself, but he avoided her eyes as she asked, knowing that it would only hurt all the more if he didn’t.

“Layla,” he breathed her name, but she knew that it was a lost cause before he spoke another word; the devastation in his eyes clear and achingly present.

“There are only two ways out, Teppei,” she whispered, pressing her lips to his ear, tears streaking down her cheeks just like the day they’d met. “You either walk away…or you let this life bury you.”

“Layla, please,” his voice was strained, his soul wounded.

“Was it ever real, Teppei? Was any of it real?” She sobbed as his arms wound tightly around her, nearly crushing her small body into his. “Was it just a story?”

“It was real. All of it, Layla.” He was filled with an ache he’d never known as he realized that his heart now resided outside of his body. “Our story was real. Our love…it was all real, Layla. It is real. Make sure he knows. Make sure you tell him.” Tears fell from his own eyes as he chastised himself for falling in love in the first place.

Layla had made arrangements to go stay with her mother, and the day she left California was the last time Teppei Kaneko ever laid eyes on her. She died in childbirth, giving him a son he’d only see a few times a year, but who bore his mother’s fiery eyes. He recalled the first time he’d held the tiny bundle, whispering his son’s name over and over like a promise- I’ll tell him, Layla. Someday, I’ll tell him all about us, about dancing on the beach and the lights on the freeway and the dust we became. Someday I’ll tell him everything.

. . . . . . .

Almost 20 years to the day that he’d silently promised Layla that he’d tell Colt everything, he pressed the pedal down hard, threatening to press it right through the floor as he careened toward the police barricade. He knew that Colt was yelling into his earpiece, knew that the whole crew was trying to get him to stop, but he couldn’t hear them. A song had come over the radio, the first few bars reaching down into the void where his heart used to reside, and all at once she was back, sitting there in the passenger seat, her hair blowing in the breeze, that giggle bubbling from her lips. Layla. He didn’t hear a single lyric, couldn’t remember the words, but the rush of everything he’d ever felt for Colt’s mother filled that void and he knew that for once in his life, even if it was the last thing he’d do, he was making the right decision for his son- he was giving him a chance, a future. He activated the nitrous and the blinding explosion consumed the road and cut through the barricade. He felt no pain, no fire, no burn. All he felt, as he took his last breath just before the collision, were her fingers in his, resting on the console.
