“…Jesus, you’re making it sound like he almost killed someone…But, you know I’ll be there for him whatever it is. Lay it on me…”

“Jesus Christ,” he hissed, leaning forward in his seat as he covered his mouth. Fuck. Almost beating a person to death out of sheer rage. Out of sheer revenge. For fucks sake… He could understand why Edward didn’t want to tell him but…Christ.

He ran a hand through his hair, feeling his bangs fall into his face. They’d get through this. He would absolutely make sure they’d get through this. But, Jay was right, he’d have to make sure that Edward didn’t run. Hell, Satoshi would run if it was him.

“God. Fucking Christ. I’m going to personally fucking murder whoever the fucking source is. …Jesus. What do we got left before the bomb drops? A week? Less? I never know because this shit leaks into the internet all the time.”

“Don’t know. Less than a week, for sure, but beyond that I have no clue. Could be tomorrow, for all we know. Which is why I needed you to know about it now. I’m gonna go and tell his parents, too. His phone’s probably gonna be full of friends and family trying to hound him for explanations once the article’s printed and sold, but if you and his parents already know beforehand it should take the biggest stingers away at least. It’s about as much as I can do for him, right now. ...I’m sorry for showing up without warning and dumping all that on you, but I’m sure you understand.”

“….?”

Running a hand through his hair as he listened to Jay, Satoshi frowned. Oh for fucks sake….

“Seriously? They’re starting that kind of shit up? Oh for fucks sake. Where do they come up with this? I have no reason to be wary of Edward. What is wrong with them? Let us be secretive. It’s better that way. They can make up all the shit about me they want; but they have no right to make up shit about Edward.”

“Not this time, buddy. Whatever twisted story they’ve got lined up for their next issue, it’s gonna be based on a real thing, and it’s gonna make him run. He’d probably tell you himself given more time, but we don’t have it anymore and you need to know about this before the bomb drops so you can convince him to stay put instead of doing the stupid thing where he up and leaves you out of sheer shame, and so you start thinking on how you can help him through this because he’s going to need you. You ready?”

#winterfurst #|| is he jay or european ||#you can pick if you wanna just sum it up in a couple lines and write satoshi's reaction to hearing the story or if i should write it out lol

winterfurst:

“…Are they? They must have been sniffing around again and my parents told them it was an ‘accident’. But, no, I haven’t. I tend not to read that trash. …Why? This seems like a weird conversation to be having.”

“Weird or not, it’s important. The article reports you got into an ‘accident’, but in the second half it talks about how secretive you’ve both been about your private life...and that they had an exclusive interview with an anonymous source who ‘provided details as to why you should be wary of Edward’.”

#winterfurst #|| is he jay or european ||

winterfurst:

Well…That was random, but it seemed to be important. He looked over his shoulder, hearing Edward in the bathroom finishing up his shower. “…I’m stepping out!” he called. “Be back in a few.”

Grabbing his keys from the hook by the door, Satoshi stepped out of the apartment and closed his door. Motioning with his head to follow him, Satoshi led Jay out of the apartment complex and over to his mother’s Porsche. Unlocking it, he opened the door and got inside the driver’s seat.

“This is as private as it can get. What’s up?”

“...Tabloids say you’ve been in an accident. You read any of the articles about it yet?”

#winterfurst #|| is he jay or european ||

winterfurst:

Nap interrupted……………..

“Man…”

Trudging to the front door, Satoshi tiredly opened it and blinked.

“…Oh, hey…! Do you want me to get Edward?”

“Nope. This time I’m here to talk to you. ...In private. Any chance we can go somewhere that nobody’ll overhear?”

#winterfurst #|| is he jay or european ||

Knocking on door. Here was to hoping that it’d be Satoshi opening instead of Edward, for a change...

winterritter:

“You’re not serious… He would actually be dumb enough to try and leave him? Oh my God. Does he not know Satoshi by now? That he absolutely loathes those toerags at those tabloids? And that he’d actually sue the hell out of them?”

“…Are you going to at least share your idea? And if there’s anything I can do to help, I can do it. I like to think I’m good at what I do.”

“It’s not gonna prevent anything, really-- I’m not a miracle worker-- but it’ll at least stop Edward from doing something he’s gonna regret. Two people going is a bit much, so I’ll do this myself, but if either of us thinks of something to deal with the tabloids I’ll leave it to you.”

“See you later.”

#winterritter #|| is he jay or european ||

winterritter:

“And neither one of them are none the wiser that this bullshit is about to drop.”

She sighed, running a hand through her hair. What could they do? How could they stop this from coming out? They couldn’t sue them. That was out of their league. Satoshi absolutely could. He had enough schooling to know how a civil case worked.

“I don’t know when this next issue will drop. Or if it’ll be one of those BS ‘special issues’. Shit. Shit shit shit. We…We could root out the source now. Find them and make them call up the publisher to make sure they don’t release it. That’s all I’m coming up with.”

“I just…If we can’t fix this in time, I hope this wouldn’t make him leave Satoshi.”

“...Oh, great. You’re right. You just reminded me that he would be dumb enough to try.”

He ran a hand down his face with a sigh. Okay. Think. Think, think, think...

“...Right. I think I have an idea. Just leave it to me.”

#winterritter #|| is he jay or european ||

winterritter:

“It would be someone who doesn’t like Satoshi very much,” she murmured, crossing her arms. “His family has so many enemies, it’s really sad. …Are you sure? Are you sure it couldn’t be one of those two people who don’t like Edward? I only ask because maybe it’s their way of trying to break them up. Them thinking that Satoshi would break up with Edward if he found out.”

Or maybe it was the newer recruits, who knew. But it had to be from someone inside the building. Natalia stayed far away from the paparazzi as much as she could.

“I…I don’t know. The only thing I can think of is suing them, but even then… We’re not the ones who this will be about.” She sighed, running a hand through her hair. “If this comes out, it’s going to break him, isn’t it?”

“...Pretty much, yeah. I mean, at this point it’s not even just a matter of telling Satoshi or not. It’s about millions of people being told, and it doesn’t matter who they are. Friends, family, strangers-- everyone’s gonna know. And chances are it won’t even be facts, just some weird twisted version of events claiming he killed a man in cold blood out of revenge for his little sister ...I’m not sure what he’s gonna do.”

Rummaging through her messenger bag, she pulled out the crinkled tabloid. Flipping through it, she found the page that she was looking for. Finding it, she handed it to Jay.

“Start with the paragraph that says, ‘Edgeworth, 24, has been secretive about his personal life’. It…Mentions a source giving an exclusive interview about….Well…”

He took the article and read through it, frowning more and more as he got towards the end.

“...It’s probably one of the other guards, but I’m not sure who’d do it. I...know of two people who don’t like Ed, but...” ...but, well, Ron wouldn’t undo everything he started in the first place no matter how angry he was now, and Justin was too much of a coward to do it.

“I might have to check around the newer recruits. We got a couple a few months back. It’s kind of hard not to know about what happened in general, but...well, anyway, sounds like they’ve already got their hands on the story anyway.” He started turning the whole thing over. “...Think we could just walk up to their door and riot? They’re one issue away from ruining someone’s life, after all.”

“Jay!”

“Hey! Stop! I…I have something to show you and it’s important. Please. It’s about what we discussed a few days ago.”

“What we...? Oh, yeah, sure. What is it?”

#winterritter #|| is he jay or european ||

winterfurst:

“Eighteen year old me was a trip, lemme tell you. But, obviously, that’s not what I want now. Having someone to settle down with is on my list of priorities. Obviously I found that person but… I can’t Nat wanting to settle down.”

“I think if Nat wanted to settle down with someone she’d first have to settle down in general. Does she have any chill?”

winterfurst:

“What? Put up with dating her? I was young and a bit wild myself. She captured my eye with her smarts and one night, at a party, we really hit it off. She charmed the hell out of me, I won’t deny that. She liked to have a good time and that’s what I wanted back then.”

“...You do you, I guess.”

#winterfurst #|| is he jay or european ||

winterfurst:

“…She’s very aware that she’s pretty ridiculous. I think she always has been. Working with her was a trip. Dating her was an even bigger trip when we were younger.”
