tw: yandere, blood, murder, nsfw, smut (sorta), oikawa is awful in this, technically everything is consensual but... big yikes.
A gentle breeze blows past, a lock of loose hair fluttering in its wake. Early still, the sky is painted with buttery oranges and pinks, a perfect, picturesque sunrise. Leaning on the railing of the balcony, you gaze to the city below, lost in thought.Β
Behind you, the sliding door opens, a warmth enveloping you, strong, sinewy arms curling around your middle.Β
βMorning,β Oikawa murmurs, drawing you closer. His bare chest rumbles at your back when he speaks again, βYou want some breakfast? Coffee?β
How many times can you make the same mistake β fall into bed with the same person β and still claim it to be a momentary lapse in judgement? Maybe youβll set a new record.Β
βOikawaβ¦β
Lips press against the back of your head, strangely affectionate. For all your little indiscretions, the time youβve spent together, this sort of affection β the casual touching, theβ¦ intimacy of it all, feels out of place in broad daylight. βMm? We could go and get one of those croissants from you like from the place across the road? Or get something delivered if youβd rather stay in?β
βOikawa,β you sigh again, more insistent this time. You spin in his arms, turning to face him. Hair still mussed from sleep, shirtless, smiling down at you β unfairly handsome in the morning light.Β
βWhat? Not hungry?β he asks, a faint amusement lacing his tone.
Your hands find their way to his chest, your pinky grazing the raised, puckered outline of one of his scars. While curiosity might eat away at you, youβve never quite mustered the courage to ask him about them.
Youβve heard enough of the rumours that swirl around Oikawa; they wonβt be pretty stories.Β
βWe canβt keep doing this. You have to stop.β
He laughs, surprise flitting across his face, βMe? If I remember correctly, you were more than eager to get those lovely hands of yours on me last night.β
βThatβs notββ you break off with a flustered huff, cheeks warming. βThatβs not what I meant, stop twisting my words! You work for my father, I canβt keepβ we canβt keep doing this.β
A little of the mirth in his expression fades at that, βYou donβt think I can handle keeping you safe while weβre sleeping together, βs that it?β
βHeβs paying you to keep me safe. Iβm a job, Oikawa, thatβs it. Thatβs all.β You bite back a sigh, shifting to put some distance between you two β as much as his grip will allow. βThis is a bad idea, you know it as well as I do. In a few weeks, or monthsββ
βSo?β he asks, cutting you off. βHe canβt say Iβm not doing an excellent job, keeping such a careful, close eye on his beloved daughter,β the hands the rest on your waist slide down to your ass, squeezing it appreciatively as he closes the gap between you once more. The grin he wears is nothing short of devilish β not to mention incredibly self satisfied β his mouth a hairsbreadth from your own. He continues, βIβm keeping you safe, satisfied and very, very happy. If anything, I should be getting paid extra for that.β
βOh yeah, Iβm sure thatβs how heβll see it.β
Oikawa leans forward, kisses the tip of your nose, and then your lips.Β
βIβd kill for you, how many other guys can say that, hm?β When the joke fails to garner a response, he sighs. βWeβre not breaking any rules, and Iβm not going anywhere. Stop overthinking it.β
β
In the days following the first threats made against your father, the idea of having a bodyguard shadowing your every step seemed laughable. Ridiculous. You werenβt some darling, young starlet with creepy, obsessive fans. Not a witness set to testify in some groundbreaking criminal case.
No, youβre simply collateral, caught up in a mess of your fatherβs making, one that has nothing to do with you.Β
That you love him in spite of it is an immutable fact. Youβve tried hard β so, so hard β to distance yourself. To separate the life youβre trying to lead and the good youβre trying to do from the shadowy reach of his legacy.Β
In any case, you felt perfectly comfortable brushing aside his offer of protection. You neither wanted nor needed someone monitoring your every move under the guise of keeping you safe.Β
And then the focus of the threats turned to you. To your step-mother. To Ryo, your little brother β a kid.Β
Your father, a man unaccustomed to hearing the word βnoβ, introduced Oikawa the very next morning and would not budge on the issue. βYou do not have to like him,β heβd said. βBut heβll keep you out of harmβs way, and you will listen to him.β
It was β is β an adjustment.Β
Those closest to you, your friends, your work colleagues β the ones you interact with on a daily basis at any rate β have all been made aware of the truth behind his presence. For everyone elseβ
βDonβt mind him, Oikawaβs my new assistant,β you explain to the hotelβs manager, smiling sweetly at her bemused expression.
Oikawa matches it with one of his own, saccharine and glittering.Β
A cup of tea is set out before each of you by one of the hotelβs employees, and he thanks her quietly, swirling the cup round in its saucer to better reach the bone china handle. Lifting it to his lips, he takes a smooth, slow sip.Β
βIβm really just here for the free tea and cake.β
One look at the blushing manager, and you can tell sheβs thoroughly charmed β which is the only reason you abstain from kicking him under the table.Β
βIgnore him, please. I had a thought about letting some of the kids come up and talk on stage as part of the opening speeches, but I wanted to make sure that wouldnβt push us too far behind with the entertainment.β Thereβs a slight nudge at your thigh, βAnd um, we also wanted to run through the security measures, if possible.β
Her brow wrinkles, βSecurity, Iβ well, weβll have doormen to check the guest list, and I suppose we could have some of our security staff posted near the ballroom exits if youβd like?β
You nod, βYes, thatβll beββ
βYou should have a few dressed to blend in with the crowd, mingling throughout the room, regular security at the stairs, and weβd like some guards working the backstage area as well,β Oikawa interjects. βConsidering the guest list, not to mention the A-list performers weβve hired for the night, the least they can ask of us is to ensure weβre making their safety and security a priority, no?β
βAll these extra measures are a little last minute, donβt you think? The galaβs tomorrow night!βΒ
On the brink of exasperation, she looks to you, no doubt expecting you to rein in your employee.Β
You simply smile, folding your legs over one another, taking a moment to indulge in the tea youβd been so graciously provided. βWe chose this hotel as our venue for a reason, Iβve heard nothing but excellent things about you and your staff. A few added security measures shouldnβt be too difficult for your staff to accommodate. As my assistant said,β your eyes slide to Oikawaβs, a faint hint of a warning there, βwe simply want to ensure everyone has a safe, enjoyable evening so that the foundation can raise as much as we possibly can.β
ββ¦ Of course,β she concedes.
βPerfect! So, letβs get back to the opening speeches.β
And so it goes, the two of you discussing the final touches and small details for the event youβve spent months bringing to fruition, the foundationβs first charity gala.Β
Untouched by your fatherβs hand, you built this foundation from the ground up, itβs yours β your baby. Your pride and joy.Β
You think nothing of it when Oikawa excuses himself to take a call. He doesnβt leave the room β he wonβt risk straying that far β and youβre distantly aware of the quiet tones of his voice speaking into his phone. You pay it no mind, focused on closing out your meeting with all the iβs dotted and the tβs crossed.Β
By the time the meetingβs finished, youβre thrilled.Β
Naturally, thereβs still plenty you have left to do; one last check in with the caterers, you have to go and pick up your dress, and thereβs the debrief with your team. Youβll have to come back to the hotel early tomorrow to make sure that the set up runs smoothly and nothingβs slipped through the cracks.Β
Regardless, promising that youβll touch base first thing in the morning and thanking her again, you canβt quite tamp down your excitement, or the giddy little grin you wear, exiting the hotel with Oikawa.Β
At least, until he stops you just shy of the town car waiting out front, his hand on your arm, murmuring your name.Β
βWhat, what is it?β
He appears almost hesitant. Regretful, certainly. βThere was another threat delivered to the main house todayβ¦β
Your stomach sinks.Β
You can see it written across his face, know whatβs coming before he even opens his mouth, βDonβt, donβt you dareββ
βThereβs too many variables, I am not putting you on the stage in a dark, crowded roomββ
You throw your hands up in a huff. βFine! I wonβt speak then.β
βYouβre not going at all. Shizuku can do your speech, the team has everything else handled. I am not risking your safety, point blank.β
βThatβs not your decision!β
Oikawaβs eyes narrow, βIt is. You can be pissed at me all you wantββ
βWeβve been working on this for months! Oikawa, this is the most important night of our entire year β we need this funding. The kids need this funding! You can go as my date, youβll have every excuse to spend the entire night glued to my hip. We just got them to agree to all that extra security stuff you wanted, what more do you need? Donβt ask me to sit at home because of some baseless, stupid threat, please!β
You hate that your voice sounds so desperate, so pleading β but itβs frustration, not disappointment thatβs to blame for the thick lump that chokes you up. The hot tears that sting in the corner of your eyes.Β
βIβm not asking.βΒ
The callousness hits you like a slap in the face.
All that anger, that mounting, seething frustration, it cools in an instant, settling like a rock in your stomach. Without another word you turn and climb into the backseat, slamming the car door behind you.
If thatβs how it is, fine.Β
Oikawa joins you a moment later, rattling off instructions to the driver.Β
The two of you have argued before, more times than you care to count. As charming as he thinks he is, Oikawaβs equally capable of being obnoxious, annoying, rude, arrogant, the list goes on. This is the first time itβs truly mattered, though. Maybe thatβs why the cold dismissal β his refusal to give so much as an inch β stings more than it should.
βDonβt make me the bad guy here,β he murmurs when the silence between you grows too heavy to bear. βI wonβt apologise for putting your safety first.β
He reaches for your hand then; a peace offering, an olive branch. You yank it back before his pinky can so much as brush against yours, lacing them together over your lap.
βI wouldnβt dream of it. Thatβs what youβre being paid for, right?β
β
Days later and the elephant in the room remains firmly lodged between you two.Β
Itβs hard to justify anger towards someone who claims theyβre only making your life difficult because there are people out there actively trying to hurt you and your family. At the same time, Oikawaβs insistence on smothering you under new βsecurity measuresβ isnβt doing him any favours.
Driving home from work, the twinkling lights of the city speeding past in a blur, the purring hum of the engine a comfort in the otherwise silent car, you can only wonder how much longer thisβll go on for.
How much more of it you can take.
βI have a date tomorrow night,β you admit in a quiet voice. βA friend of a friend, sheβs been trying to set us up together for months now.βΒ
You glance at Oikawa then β hesitant, searching his face. Momentary surprise flickers there, and then he simply raises an eyebrow, βOh? And youβre telling me this because you want me to give the two of you a little privacy, right? I guess it would be slightly awkward to have the last guy you were fucking watching from the next table over.β
Though his tone is perfectly pleasant, thereβs no disguising the razor sharp bite of the words themselves. Guilt stabs at your insides, twisting like a knife. βThatβs not what IββΒ
Youβre so tired of arguing with him. Tired of all of this. Your hands canβt lie still, smoothing out the non-existent wrinkles in your skirt, and though your attention falls to your lap, you canβt escape the weight of Oikawaβs watchful eyes, following your every move.Β
Waiting on the verge of impatience for you to dig yourself deeper.Β
You sigh, wetting your lips. βIβm not interested in him. This isnβt about that. I justβ¦ I canβt do this with you, Oikawa. I canβt handle every detail of my day β what I do and who I see β being monitored and micromanaged. I canβt handle you acting like a glorified babysitter and then still trying to get into my pants the moment weβre alone. I justβ I need one night without that, thatβs all.β
Maybe thatβs a selfish thing, a stupid decision. Youβd made it at the drop of a hat, your friend gushing over this guy over the phone for the umpteenth time. He doesnβt seem like the type to have a favourite gun, and that was good enough for you.Β
Oikawa snorts out a laugh, βIf youβve got an itch you need scratched, Iβm more than happy to offer my services, pretty girl,β he drawls, low and lecherous, grinning so condescendingly youβre honestly tempted to slap him. βBut thereβs no way in hell Iβm letting you run off to play date night with some asshole you know next to nothing about when thereβs a target on your back and Iβm the one keeping you safe, understand?β
Youβd anticipated some kind of resistance β Oikawa arguing over where youβd go, wanting the names of the guy in question, the friend who set the two of you up, all of it.
The possibility heβd outright refuse hadnβt even crossed your mind.Β
You open your mouth to argue the point, only to close it softly a heartbeat later. Why bother? What good would arguing do when youβre perfectly aware that he has no intention of budging on the subject.
Which isnβt to say that youβre letting him off the hook entirely.
His eyes widen a fraction, but itβs delight, not aggravation, that gleams in those deep, brown depths. βDo you want me to deny it?β he challenges, the car pulling to a stop out the front of your apartment block. βYou wanna know what I think?β
Not particularly, but thatβs never stopped him before.
βYou want me just as much as I want you, you know weβre good together. You accuse me of being jealous, yet youβre the one running scared, jumping at the first, half-baked opportunity presented so you can lie and tell yourself that youβre not missing me.β
βPlease,β you scoff, unable to help yourself. βYouβd have to be gone for me to miss you.β
βWhatever helps you sleep at night.β
Rolling your eyes and biting back a huff, you nevertheless accept the hand he offers to help you out of the car, the two of you making your way inside. He greets the porter by the door, inclining his chin in a short nod, and calls the elevator with a swipe of your keycard β the one heβd snatched right out of your hand the very day heβd met you.
All in the name of doing his job and keeping you safe, of course.Β
βWell what if I need to use the stupid lift and youβre not around?β
βUnless youβre planning on ditching me, I donβt see that being a problem, do you?β
Impossible, right from the start.Β
While Oikawa leans against the mirrored walls, smug and all too self satisfied, you snatch your phone from your purse, angrily typing up a quick message to your friend about tomorrow night. No doubt sheβll think youβre being overdramatic, if not outright lying β she, however, doesnβt have to contend with Oikawa on a daily basis.
By the time you reach your apartment, youβre tired, grumpy and itching for a glass of wine and a nice long soak in the bathtub.Β
Youβre only half paying attention, impatient to kick off your heels and soothe the day's stresses β you donβt notice that the doorβs hanging ajar, at least not immediately. Oikawa does, his whole body tensing, eyes alert and cautious.Β
The second you try to move, his armβs there, outstretched to keep you at bay while he hastily tries to shut the door and obscure your view.
Not quickly enough.
Through the crack, you see it; the crimson splashed across your living room, stark and hideous against the white tile floors.Β
Blood.Β
Itβs everywhere. Dripping from the lampshade, down the walls, pooling on the tiles.
Red, red, red, spattered and sprayed like the set of a b-grade slasher flick. And the smell, coppery and pungent, sitting in the back of your throat as bile creeps up to meet it.Β
No one person can bleed that much, can they?Β
Your breath comes quick; short, heaving little gasps far too shallow to do you any good. Your limbs feel weightless, weak β a stumbling step backwards almost sends you to the ground. Nausea churns in your guts, threatening to upheave.Β
All that bloodβ¦ Your apartmentβ
Theyβ they were in your home.Β
And a sudden thought occurs to you, a fresh wave of horror sinking its claws in deep. Without stopping to think, you lurch forward, desperate to get inside. Arms seize your waist, yanking you back, and you let out a blood curdling shriek, thrashing against the grip.
In the haze of your blind panic, you recognise that itβs Oikawaβs voice, speaking in your ear in a low, urgent tone. You donβt care, you canβt make sense of the words anyway, not amidst the overwhelming fear, the terror and the pounding of your racing heart.Β
βRyoββ you choke out, struggling to get free, βI have toβ h-he might beββ
βHeβs not in there. Heβs not in there!β Wrangled back from the door, he all but shoves you against the wall, caging you in close as your fists beat weakly against his chest, your pleas little more than whimpers. He exhales heavily, moving in closer to press his forehead against yours. βHeβs at home, with your father. Theyβre not in there, I promise. We have to go.β
He takes your hand, leads you one step after another, murmuring reassurances the whole way.Β
Youβre numb to it.Β
You donβt remember much, the ding of the elevator, stale air of the underground parking garage and a chill nipping at your skin. An unfamiliar car youβre hastily bundled into.Β
Time moves strangely after that, seconds trickling by like the drip of a leaking faucet.Β
The car is quiet. Dark. The cityscape out the window a blur that barely registers. Your mind ticks over the same thoughts, a reel stuck playing the same loop over and over; blood splashed across the curtains, the couch. Your apartment β your home β awash with it. The stench of it, clinging to you like perfume.Β
No one was hurt.
They were in your home.
Youβre fine, Oikawaβs fine. Ryo was never in danger.
They were in your home.Β
You let out a shuddering breath, shoulders curling inwards as you draw your knees up to your chest. Oikawa clocks the movement, sparing you an assessing glance from the corner of his eye.Β
Β ββ¦ Whereββ you wince at the raw sound. βWhere are we going?β
βBack to the main house. Your fatherβs been alerted, heβs expecting us.β
Ah. Where else?
Your father has βround the clock guards at every entrance, high tech, expensive security systems. Youβd be with your family, safe and protected within the walls of the home you grew up in. The minute heβd heard whatβd happened, your father wouldβve demanded Oikawa bring you back without delay.Β
Despite that, you find yourself shaking your head, βIβ¦ I donβt want Ryoβ heβll get upset if he sees me like this,β you mumble into your knees. βHeβs already scared. Please.β
He looks at you again, properly this time. Thereβs a muscle working in his jaw, long fingers drumming against the leather of the steering wheel.Β
Youβve seen him angry before, irritated. Never like this.
Every breath he draws in is tight and controlled, his features set like granite. You only catch sight of it when the yellow glow of the street lights outside wash over you both in thick swathes; the cold fury that lurks in the black pits of his irises, held back like a caged beast.Β
It should scare you β it does, a bit. The man sitting next to you feels like a stranger, and yet you force yourself to hold that stare, not to shy away.
Oikawa wonβt hurt you.Β
Whatever seethes beneath the surface, itβs not directed your way β you canβt say how you know that for certain, only that you do.Β
But neither one of you can return home to your family tonight, not when youβre both so wound up and strung out. Youβll beg on your hands and knees if thatβs what it takes to sway him. Ryoβs already afraid enough as it is.
Your heart thumps painfully against your ribs as you wait in tense silence.Β
Oikawa considers you for a moment longer, mutters a curse under his breath and casts a look back over his shoulder, throwing the car into a sudden β and very illegal β u turn. βYouβre gonna be the death of me, I hope you realise that,β he groans, but the words lack the hard, clipped edge theyβd carried before.Β
He takes you instead to an apartment downtown; nondescript, small, tidy. The furniture appears new, fitting in with the same clean, monochromatic colour scheme as the rest of the apartment. Thereβs books on the coffee table, bland art lining the walls, cushions on the couch, a knitted beige comforter tossed over the armrest. Itβsβ¦ fine, if not a little soulless.Β
Turning to face Oikawa, you lift an eyebrow, βYouβ¦ live here?β you ask.
The brunetβs lips quirk upwards, shrugging off his jacket and tossing it over the back of one of the chairs. βNot often. Itβs a foxhole, one of a few I have, actually. This one just so happened to be the closest.β At your confused expression, he continues, βThink of it like a hideaway. Thereβs no paper trail tying me to this place and very few people who know of its existence. We can lie low here for a few days while we figure everything out.β
Somewhere that canβt be tracked, because there are men out there who want you dead. Faintly, you nod, trying your best to ignore the pool of dread sitting heavy in your gut.Β
Thereβs no pretending the threats arenβt real anymore.Β
But youβre safe here, with Oikawa. No oneβs coming to hurt you tonight.Β
Exhausted, your whole body aching, you shower under a scorching spray, drying yourself off and pulling on one of Oikawaβs old shirts to sleep in (βWeβll get you some proper clothes tomorrow,β heβd promised). Thereβs only one bed in the tiny apartment, and even if you could find it within yourself to care, youβre altogether too drained to say anything when, after a quick shower of his own, Oikawa crawls in beside you.Β
Heβs warm and solid, the scent of him familiar as his arm slides over your middle, drawing you close.Β
βIβm not going to let anyone touch you,β he murmurs into the dark. βIβll kill them first. Youβre safe with me.β
β
Two days later, your father summons you home.
Oikawaβs curtly dismissed at the door, left to his own devices. You, meanwhile, are taken into the study, tea is poured, and the conversation, naturally, shifts towards the break in at your apartment.Β
βYou can always stay here with us, little one, for as long as youβd like. Ryota would be thrilled to have you back.β Your father smiles, setting the steaming cup down. βAs would I.β
The childhood endearment makes your heart tug. Youβve spent too long clawing your way free of his influence to do some good in the world, to return home now, no matter how tempting the thought, would undo that in seconds.Β
βI know,β you reply. βAnd I appreciate it, dad. Oikawaβs taking me tomorrow to see a few apartments, though, so hopefully weβll find something that works.β
He makes a dissatisfied noise, mouth tightening. βYes, well considering this happened under Oikawaβs watch, perhaps you should rethink the weight you place in his judgement.β
βItβs because of Oikawa that they broke into my apartment. He never gave them an opening to come after me directly, so they tried to scare me instead.β Tried, and succeeded, mind you. βYouβre the one who hired him,β you grumble.
βI hired him to protect you, nothing more,β he replies sternly. βIf youβre put at risk again I will not hesitate to replace him with someone better suited.β
Peering down at you from behind wire frame glasses, he considers you for a moment β the same weighty, assessing stare heβd give you when, as a kid, he thought you were misbehaving. βI am not so blind that I cannot see what is happening in front of my own eyes. Youβre close with him, youβ¦ trust him.β
βAm I not supposed to?β Wasnβt he the one telling you you had to listen to Oikawa?
He doesnβt answer you straight away, seemingly weighing up his response. When he does eventually speak, the words give little comfort. βOikawa isβ¦ a necessary evil. He has the temperament and skill set which make him a natural choice in protecting you β theyβre also what make him dangerous. If your life werenβt at risk I would not want you within a thousand yards of that man.β
You think back to the scars that litter Oikawaβs torso. The look in his eyes that night, the tempest raging, violent and volatile.Β
Itβs not as though you ever believed Oikawa to be a saint β if his association with your father wasnβt proof enough, the frankly alarming number of weapons youβd stumbled across, stashed throughout the foxhole certainly did the trick.
You grew up surrounded by men like that. Your father, your uncles. Business associates invited to dinner. None of them ever frightened you.
Unease slithers down your spine.
Satisfied, perhaps, that his warning struck home, your father straightens in his chair and clears his throat. βEnough of that. Come, drink β your teaβs getting cold.β
He keeps you there for a little while longer, to indulge in another cup and talk of other, lighter subjects; your work with the childrenβs foundation, Ryoβs progress at school (heβs becoming quite the little scientist), to the gardens that surround the estate, the cherry blossom trees set to bloom in a matter of weeks.Β
On your way out, he asks for you to send in Oikawa.Β
It takes you less than a minute to find him β sitting cross legged on the living room floor, deep in conversation with your seven year old brother. Ryoβs the one to spot you first, his whole face lighting up. Discarding the open book heβd had splayed across his lap, your brother jumps to his feet and barrels towards you with a delighted shriek of your name, arms outstretched. You catch him with a grin, squeezing back when he hugs you firmly.
βCareful, budβ Oikawa laughs, βyouβll knock her right off her feet.β
You ruffle Ryoβs hair. His mom would say the unruly locks are desperately in need of a trim β you think it suits him, reminds you of a wild thing. βPlease, this little guy? Light as a feather.β
The indignant grumble you get in response, his face still buried in your middle only makes your grin widen.Β
Still sprawled across the floor like a kid himself, Oikawa meets your gaze with a warm one of his own, something in your chest fluttering at the sight of it. He looks content, perfectly relaxed here with you and Ryo.Β
In that moment, youβre struck with the realisation that heβs not the only one.
Whatever gripped you back in your fatherβs study, thereβs no trace of it now, it holds no bearing here with the two of them. This is the Oikawa youβve come to know, the one you trust.
The one you like, if the warming of your cheeks is any indication to go by.Β
β¦ Maybe itβs time you stopped running from that.
Saved from any further musing by your brotherβs attempt to crush the life out of you in one final squeeze, Ryo reluctantly lets you go.Β
βI missed you,β he mumbles, his cheeks turning pink. He kicks at the carpet a little, chews at his bottom lip, hesitating just a touch. ββ¦ Dad said youβre coming home to stay this time. Are you?β And beneath the wide, puppy dog eyes that tug at your heartstrings with practiced ease (no wonder he has both his parents wrapped around his finger), thereβs no hiding the hope glimmering in his tone.Β
βI missed you too, squirt.βΒ
At the mention of your father, however, something else springs to mind, and you turn your attention back to Oikawa. βOh, almost forgot β he said he wants to see you. Heβs in the study, waiting.β
The brunet nods, rising. If heβs bothered by the demand at all, thereβs no outward indication. From your own conversation with the man, you canβt imagine heβs about to walk into anything particularly pleasant. Then again, you doubt that whatever your father has in store for him β whether it be lecture or complete verbal evisceration β is in any way anxiety inducing to someone like Oikawa.Β
Sauntering past the two of you, he stops for a second, lays a hand on Ryoβs shoulder and leans down to whisper conspiratorially into his ear β just loud enough for his voice to carry. βWhy donβt you show your big sister the new project you were telling me about, hm?βΒ
Ryo lights up again with a giddy gasp, racing from the room, and Oikawa winks at you, breezing on through.Β
β
The moment youβre through the door back at the foxhole, heβs on you.
Ravenous, hungry, lips moving feverishly against yours, prying them apart for another taste of you. The clothes heβd bought for you are hastily discarded, thrown to the floor and kicked aside as Oikawa lifts you up, hiking your legs around his waist so he can carry you into the bedroom.
βWhatβs gotten into you?β you laugh, half breathless when he deposits you on the bed.Β
βDo I need a reason?β he retorts, yanking off his shirt and casting it aside. βIβve been waiting to do this all afternoon.β
He climbs onto the bed then,pushing your shoulders back down the mattress as his lips find yours to kiss you senseless. Your hand meanwhile slips down between your bodies, a feather light touch grazing the bulge in his jeans.Β
He moans into your mouth, breath shivery and light, hips bucking ever so slightly to chase the touch. When he draws back, your stomach flips in anticipation at the positively wolfish expression you find there, βCareful, pretty girl,β he warns.Β
βOr what?βΒ
He takes your hand then, pulls it back to his crotch and grinds into it slowly, shuddering, βOr youβre gonna be in for a long, long night.β
You arch up to kiss him, lips finding his throat, the two of you working together to hastily free his cock from the confines of his boxer briefs.Β
The moment youβre successful, the hard, flushed length bobbing against his stomach, Oikawa lets a fat glob of spit fall into his palm and takes hold of it, twisting his wrist as he slides his hand back and forth along his cock, groaning and nudging your thighs apart.Β
Usually, he likes to take his time prepping you, lowering his mouth to your pretty little pussy, teasing you and edging you until youβre a squirming, hot mess beneath him, all but begging him to hurry up and fuck you. Other times β when heβs in a more selfish mood β heβll send you to your knees instead, taking his pleasure by fucking your face, fingers curling in your hair, the tight, wet warmth of your mouth too tempting to pass up.
But something feels different this time. More than hunger, or desire, beyond simple urgency. It glints and gleans in his eyes, seeps from his skin like the bead of sweat that trickles down the curve of his neck.Β
It crackles like electricity in the air between you.Β
And when he drags your hips down close, and pushes his cock deep into your warm, fluttering cunt, it robs you of all words.
True to his promise, Oikawa takes his time. Fucks you on your back, legs locked around his back at first β and then pressed back either side of you, the ache in your thighs second only to the stretch of your pussy, clenching around him with every languid roll of his hips.
He flips you over and draws your ass upwards, your face pressed down into the pillows, pounding into you from behind.Β
Hands on your hips, guiding you up and down his throbbing shaft, hungry eyes fixed on the way your tits bounce so enticingly for him.Β
And then, when your legs are shaking, pussy leaking his seed and every cell in your body is electrified and buzzing, he lays you down at the edge of the bed and feasts on your poor, sensitive, abused little hole βtil youβre grabbing at his hair, bucking up and writhing on his tongue, screaming yourself hoarse from an overload of pleasure.Β
Only then does he allow you rest, kissing you sweetly as he slips from your side and exits the bedroom.Β
He returns moments later with a glass of water, which you gratefully accept and guzzle down. Collapsing back on the bed, you let out a groan, βI feel like I could sleep for the next thousand years.β
He chuckles. Climbing onto the mattress to flop down beside you, Oikawa rolls close, smiling with a soft look youβve only ever seen directed at you. βSo sleep. Weβve got an hour or so βtil dinner, a nap wonβt kill you.β
β
You wake to the sound of a car backfiring.
Eyes bleary, disoriented, you struggle to gather your wits as the door to the bedroom flies open. Oikawa appears in the doorway, still wearing his pajamas, gun in hand, eyes focused and alert β and itβs then, in the dim, early morning light that you realise that the sound you heard wasnβt a car at all.
With his handgun and attention trained on the front door, Oikawa spares you only the briefest of glances, βGet up, we need to go. Now.βΒ
Your heart skips a beat, chest tightening as the reality of the situation β at least, as much as your sluggish brain can piece together β dawns upon you.Β
Questions, one after another, claw their way up your throat, desperate and urgent, terrified, you force yourself to swallow them down, along with the near paralysing fear that takes hold. Thereβs no time for that. No time to panic. Pausing only long enough to ascertain that you are in fact somewhat clothed β an old tee of his and a pair of sleep shorts you mustβve thrown on at some point last night β you scramble to Oikawaβs side.Β
Any reassurance you feel at the grip he takes of your hand is quickly and overwhelmingly buried, however, when you catch sight of the dark mass by the entryway.Β
Your stomach lurches, blood running cold. Itβs a body β a manβs. The roomβs not yet light enough to get a good look at his face, but the open, unblinking eyes and the sticky looking pool beneath him tell you plenty.
Dead.Β
βDonβt look,β Oikawa murmurs.
His fingers tighten around your hand in a reassuring squeeze, already pulling you onwards. Like a bad accident, tearing your eyes away is easier said than done.
That man, heβ¦ heβd come here for you, hadnβt he? To kill you.Β
Youβve never seen a dead body before, and now thereβs one lying across your living room floor, riddled with bullets from Oikawaβs gun and thatβ
That couldβve been you. Wouldβve been, if not for Oikawa.
Your chest constricts, a noose tightening at your throat. And just like that night at your apartment, the fear that takes root begins to strangle you, making it hard to breathe, harder to think.
Every uneven thump of your heart rattles your chest, your limbs feeling like theyβre disconnected from the rest of you. Oikawa notices, and curses softly beneath his breath. Thereβs no time to coax you down, his grip turns iron, half running now down the fire door stairs with you stumbling behind him.
Somewhere above you, shouts begin to sound, and with a fresh wave of terror hammering through your veins, you force your legs to move quicker. Thereβs no choice but to run, to duck and cower when the creaking door to the floor above swings open and Oikawa abruptly yanks you forward to fire up the stairwell behind you.Β
Bare feet pounding against the floor, chest heaving with ragged breaths, you burst out into the parking garage, and still you donβt stop.Β
For the second time in less than a week, youβre corralled into a car, shaking and numb, on the verge of outright sobbing.Β Β
Oikawa drives for a long time.
You donβt ask where youβre going, if theyβre still following you. You donβt speak.Β
The traffic on the streets thins out, the towering skyscrapers disappearing in the rearview mirror. Wherever heβs taking you, itβs not towards home.
And thereβs a pit in your stomach, a bleak, festering emotion that grows harder and harder to ignore with every passing mile. Oikawaβs silence β tense and uncomfortable, only adds to your unease.Β
This isnβt like last time, when he was angry beyond words. This feelsβ¦ different, somehow.Β
When youβre well beyond the city limits, he pulls the car to a stop on the side of a deserted stretch of road and turns it off, leaving the keys in the ignition.Β
βThereβs a phone in the glove box, can you get it for me?βΒ
Doing as he asks, you pop the compartment open, only to cringe when the first thing your fingers brush over isnβt a cell, but the cool metal of a handgun. Nevertheless, you keep going, eventually finding the black phone tucked away near the back and wordlessly passing it into Oikawaβs waiting palm.
He smiles at you, leans over the console to press a chaste kiss to your cheek, βThanks. Stay here, alright? Gotta make a quick call.βΒ
Heβs already dialling, smoothly exiting the car before the words truly register.Β
Youβre helpless to do anything but watch anxiously from the passengerβs seat, fingers worrying away at the hem of Oikawaβs shirt. Seconds tick by β nothing. No one picks up. No one answers.Β
A small frown graces his features. Glancing into the car to check up on you, Oikawa simply ends the call, dials another number, holds the phone to his ear, and waits for whoeverβs on the other end of the call to pick up.Β
β¦ But nobody does. The phone rings out.
He spares you another brief glance then, your wide, worried eyes meeting his. His brow furrows, the edges of his lips thinning into a hard line and before you can call out to ask him whatβs wrong, who heβs trying to get ahold of, heβs moving away from the car and out of earshot.Β
This time, he seems to take longer to find the number heβs after, drawing the phone back to his ear, foot tapping away as it rings and rings and rings.Β
You donβt realise that youβre holding your breath, fingernails biting into the palm of your hand until you see him speaking into his cell, nodding at whatever the person on the other end of the line is saying.
Yet that reprieve, unlocking the breath trapped in your lungs, soothing over all of your tension and that awful, gnawing feeling in the pit of your stomach lasts only as long as it takes for you to realise that Oikawa, staring at you from yards down the road, looks entirely too grim for the relief that youβre feeling.
He ends the call with a heavy exhale, shoulders slumping.
Your heart stops cold in your chest.Β Β
One look at his pained expression, the pity swirling in his eyes, the sympathy, and your whole world comes crashing down around you.
Fingers fumbling for the door latch, you unbuckle your seatbelt to stagger to your feet, lurching towards him. Oikawa reaches you first, letting you collide into his arms, pulling you close.Β
βHeβ heβs fine, right?β you beg in a thick, trembling voice, trying in vain to blink back hot tears. βRyoβs fine. They both are. Theyβre okay. Tell me theyβre okay. Please, Tooru, you have toβ you have to tell me that theyβreββ
As words fail you, Oikawa sighs. With a gentleness that shatters something inside of you, he cups your cheek in his palm, brushing away your tears, and presses his forehead against yours.Β
βIβm sorry. Theyβ¦ they hit the house before they came for us. No one made it out.β
Noβ¦ no, no, no, no, no. Thatβs not true. You clutch at him, desperately shaking your head. Ryo canβt be dead, heβs only seven. Heβs just a kid, an innocent, good kid. Heβs your little brother.
He canβt be dead.
But Oikawaβs looking at you so brokenly, and you feel like somebodyβs ripped you open from the inside out and saved your heart for last of all. You open your mouth to beg for him to tell you heβs lying, but all that comes out is a sobbing wail.Β
βIβm sorry,β he mumbles, holding you close, cradling you against him. βIβm so sorry, baby.β
β
The soft sound of leather shoes walking atop marble tiles echo throughout the empty halls of your fatherβs estate.Β
Thereβs no need for Oikawa to disguise his presence now β not that there was much of one to begin with.Β
The staff had opened the door without blinking, welcoming him inside, the guards on rotation nodding in acknowledgment when he strode past. They might not particularly enjoy his presence (no accounting for taste, he supposed) but after months working for the patriarch to keep you safe, theyβd come to begrudgingly accept it.Β
In their eyes, he was one of them, and so no one thought to stop him and ask why heβd shown up at the estate so late in the night, seemingly without reason. Without you.
It made picking them off one by one that much easier.Β
Well, not all of them. He had left one alive β unconscious, possibly paralysed, but breathing all the same. Oikawa smirks.Β
With the guards and household staff dispatched, heβd turned his attention towards the bedrooms.Β
Ryota was first. Fast asleep, clutching the teddy-bear youβd bought him, your baby brother hadnβt stirred when Oikawa crept in with the shadows. He made it quick. Painless. As much of a mercy as a man like him was capable of.Β
The kidβs mom was next; the second wife, the replacement. The money hungry, greedy, vapid little cunt.Β
It was no secret that your father had been married before, that his first wife β your mother β had died after a long, tragic battle with cancer when you were sixteen. The first time heβd tried bringing it up, youβd shut him down and quickly changed the subject, but in the end, all it took was one too many glasses of wine, a few stories of his own, and those pretty lips of yours were spilling all sorts of interesting secrets.
That your step-mother was fucking him before she was even cold in the ground was one such fascinating tidbit.Β
While heβd felt a slight twinge of guilt over killing the boy, Oikawa had no such qualms shooting her while she slept, the silencer on his pistol ensuring it raised no alarm, just like the others.Β
While youβd mourn for your beloved baby brother, he knows you wonβt shed any tears for that bitch. He wonders if youβd even thank him for it, if he ever decided to tell you the truth.
A pleasant shiver rolls down his spine at the thought of how sweetly youβd go about it.
Presently, he raises a fist to knock at the door of your fatherβs study, one final goal in mind.
βCome in,β a deep voice replies.
Oikawa has to give the older man some credit, one look at him β gun in hand, the flecks of blood spattered against his crisp, white shirt β and your father stills, the colour draining from his face. He doesnβt panic, though, doesnβt shout or cry out for help, much less for mercy.
They both know none is coming.Β
Instead, he sets down the papers heβd been working on and rises slowly from his chair. No doubt he has at least one gun stashed nearby, but with Oikawaβs pointed towards his chest, the brunetβs index finger poised on the trigger, and his better years behind him, the odds donβt fall in his favour.
βMy wife?β
Oikawa grins, clicking his tongue, βDead.β
He nods, taking a moment to process the information. βAndβ¦ my son?βΒ
βDead.β
ββ¦ I see.β
Oikawaβs heard more than one person accuse your father of being a cold, heartless bastard. Itβs an easy assumption to make β no one gains a reputation like his without a certain brutality and overall disregard for the lives of others. The truth is simpler; your father does have a heart, it resides in both of his children. While his voice might not shake at the news of his sonβs demise, his hands, splayed out over the papers on his desk, most certainly do.
He swallows with difficulty, takes in a trembling breath, βMy daughter, I assume you killed her, too?β
βGod, no,β he laughs. βSheβs sleeping, safe and sound, blissfully oblivious to all of this.βΒ
And for the first time since Oikawa crossed the threshold, a look of confusion adorns your fatherβs face. Before he can give voice to it, however, the brunet decides to nudge the conversation along. The drugs in your system will only keep you down for so long, and thereβs still plenty he has left to do before the two of you can have your fresh start.Β
βYou seem to be under the impression that Iβm working for the people who want you and your family wiped from the map. Iβm not. Iβm simply making the best of an opportunity." He sighs, shrugging, βWe could have avoided this nastiness, you know. Maybe not indefinitely, but for a little while at least. All of this, itβs your fault; you gave me a gift, and then,β his smile turns sharp, an edge of anger bleeding through, βyou threatened to take her away.β
There are worse fates than death.Β
βIf it gives you any solace,β Oikawa murmurs, the soft, placating tone at odds with the cruel twist of his vicious grin. βI intend to keep my promise. Sheβll be safe with me, no one will ever lay so much as a finger on her.β
Bakugou Katsuki does not know what is love. He just knows you are love. For him, you are the remedy, his favourite melody and the path of his destruction all in one.
But he'd walk that path a million times. Because he didn't know what love was but he still held onto you while you talked to Mina. His right arm around your shoulders and left hand playing with your fingers. He didn't know what love was but he held onto you because you did too.
That night when neither of you had anything to do so you just laid in his arms while he played with your hair. He had a thousand thoughts in his mind but he didn't say anything. He didn't have to, cause he knew and knew you do too.
That one time when he fucked up big time and made you cry like never before. Even then he didn't know what love was but he still held you from the back while crying on your shoulder, begging you to 'please stay'. He didn't know what love was but you did because you stayed.
He calls you 'cringe' and yet, that one morning when it was really chilly and you hissed at the coldness of the kitchen island, he silently came up behind you resting his hands on the island on either sides of you so you could rest your hands above his warm ones.
Your beloved Kats' or 'Suki or Blasty says he doesn't like all these nicknames you give him but will ask if he did anything wrong when you stop calling him by those 'stupid' nicknames.
He doesn't like all the mushy shit but that day when you were on a date with him and you didn't like that one street snack he let you spit on his hand because "Spitting is prohibited here you idiot, it's not like I am into such things."
No matter how many times he says he doesn't understand love, he just won't give up. Because how could he? How could he give up on love when love was you!
Somedays you're just too much for Katsuki. For instance, right now.
What happened you ask? Well poor little Katsuki was feeling too hot to be confined in four walls tonight so he decided to go on a walk while you, being the homebody that you are mightily clinged onto his left leg. Yes, leg.
He dragged you all around the apartment because he couldn't think of any other way of freeing himself and also because you looked adorable like that (he wouldn't admit) but you just wouldn't let go! Honestly, Katsuki found it soooo cute- BUT DANG IT! WHY'RE YOU SO STUBBORN! You just kept on whining in an attempt to make him stay because 'I don't feel human enough for a walk, I don't wanna be alone at home and please cook something for me I'm hungryyyyy!'
It's a known fact Katsuki cooks godly food!
In all honesty Katsuki knows he's being dramatic, but so are you. So he settled for the air conditioner and later the terrace while you giddily got up and threw yourself on him.
If him staying home would make you love him more, he's never walking out that door. But truly even if he did, you don't think you'll have it in you to unlove him.
EXTRA:
"Katsuki, how long are you gonna chop those onions, my eyes sting!"
"Well then, why don't you go away and stop clinging onto me!"
Bakugou waking up in the middle of the night and being cold so when he turns his head to your side he sees you on the edge of the bed almost falling off if he were not sleeping on one side of the comforter so you're sleeping on the comforter as if it was a hammock. But as katsuki shifts a little bit the comforter is shifting from underneath him and you're falling but katsuki, even in his half-slumber state, lunges forward and catches you in his strong pulling you on the bed and towards him with a relieved sigh. And you, are still sleeping, having no idea how your hero has your back even when you don't know it.
Thinking about a day off with Denki and his gf ask him what she should do. He disapears in the bedroom before shouting "The first thing you should do today is milk the cow!" And his gf is just standing in the hallway like "What cow?" And then Denki appears from the bedroom... wearing a cow onesie and says "This cow. Moo."
So, Yuuji Itadori sleeps like a log. There's no surprise in that. But think about him waking up in the middle of the night and looking around for you in the bed and there you are curled up and shivering in the far corner the bed.
He looks at you with his sleepy eyes and thinks to himself 'how careless of you, you should cover yourself with a blanket!' and the blanket in question is being suffocated by Yuuji right now under him. And as soon as he realizes that you're cold because HE hogged the blanket he's so so guilty.
He'll immediately pull your body towards his, hissing at how cold your skin is and covering you with the blanket and cuddling you.
And Yuuji sleeps like a log so even he is shocked how and why it was TONIGHT that he awoke in the middle of a peaceful sleep. But instead of worrying is pretty head he'll just call it 'the power of love' and you know what maybe it is.
Y'all know yuuji and nobara's relationship right so just imagine both of them bickering about something so futile and nobara is totally dominating him and fushiguro is just....napping. And then Yuuji's crush walks into the room and suddenly Yuuji is at a loss like 'should I make myself look the powerful one who is right and logical or should I be the gentleman who doesn't insult a girl' and he is just standing there for whole 10 seconds while nobara insults him relentlessly.
But then suddenly you giggle and ask nobara not to be too mean to him and yuuji goes for the third option and starts whining about how mean nobara is and nobara KNOWS he is just acting up and trying to be the innocent so she just mumbles 'This petty petty bitch!'
Just imagine Katsuki with an artist gf who asks him to be her model for some anatomy study and says "Just pose for me. Without the shirt. " Bakugou is like 'huh?' But assists onetheless after all his gf asked him for a favor and promised it won't take long. Also it's just the shirt that he has to take off so he just shuts up and does a good job at modeling.
But soon enough his gf comes to a realization how perfect is Katsuki's body and it would be such a waste if she stopped now. So she politely asks him to take off his sweats too and Bakugou is more than happy to oblige with a permanent smirk plastered on his lips.

part 1
The next few days were awkward to say the least. It was actually funny how you both changed directions as soon as you saw each other just to end up colliding on the other path too. The entire class had taken a notice of change in the behavior, however none of them could succeed in getting the truth out either of you.
Today was one of those days where you were just looking for peace. You loved your classmates, there was no lie in that but sometimes they were too loud. So in search of this said peace you reached the terrace. What you did not know was that you played right into devil's hand because there was someone.
And as lucky as you were the person was none other than Denki Kaminari. you had half a mind to turn back and run away but you knew it was too late, he had already seen you.
You slowly took steps towards him as he quickly turned his gaze away, mainly because because was already blushing without you even saying anything.
"Hey", you muttered to which Denki let out a shaky breath. He's been dying to hear your voice again, directed at him.
"Hey." he shortly replied still gazing elsewhere.
You didn't know what to. You wanted peace but you knew you won't get it in Denki's presence. You couldn't have turned away now either or Denki would feel guilty for making you uncomfortable with his presence. So you did the first thing that came to your mind, initiate a convo.
"So what are you doing here?" Denki whipped his head in your direction with his eyes blown wide. You greeting him was just a gesture out of courtesy but you actually initiating a convo, he didn't expect that.
After realizing he has been staring for too long he finally pulled himself together and replied, "Why do you care?"
Way to go Denki.
In Denki's defense he really didn't mean that, but being a Denki is hard okay? Sometimes your mouth works faster than your mind.
You were confused. Was he mad? He probably was otherwise he would never answer like that. but what was he mad for? Right, he obviously doesn't like me back.
"Are you mad?" You absent mindedly blurt you with your eyes fixated on your own shoes.
Now Denki was feeling bad. And a guilty Denki is never a pretty sight to see.
As soon as he realized what he has done he jumped in front you shaking his head and his hands muttering 'no, no, no'.
He took a deep breath and mumbled a 'shit' which made you raise your head and look at him while he held both of your shoulders firmly.
"Listen," he started, "I am not mad. I can never be, not with you." he was looking directly in your eyes and oh lord was is doing something to you.
The lights from other dorms illuminated the side of his face that made him seem no less than angel. But to his eyes the only angel here was you, because the way your eyes were shining with hope even in the dark made him want to just swoop you up and run away with you to somewhere no one could reach. And the way you looked up at him was making him dizzy.
"I...I just don't know. you and I, that day- I'm sorry I avoided you I was just confused I somehow made myself believe there could be a teeny tiny chance that you, you like me." Now it was him making you dizzy, the way he spoke, the way he held you, the way his lips were slightly curled up and the way he let out a bitter chuckle next moment.
"But I know I was just making things up in my head. How could someone as amazing as you like me?" His hands dropped to his side as he breathed in the cold air of the night.
And you couldn't help but think, 'wow he looks breathtaking'.
"Let's just forget whatever happened that day, yeah?" He gave a sad smile before turning back.
No, no, no this could not be ending like this. How can he think so lowly of himself?
"D-Denki..." You whispered.
"Yeah?" He turned back just to stumble backwards as you took him by surprise by hugging him. "i like you! I really really like you!"
He was just frozen there, breathing you in. He didn't hug you back, didn't do anything, just stood there saying, "Are you sure?"
This made you look at him of course you were sure! Can't he see?
"Yes! I really really really really like you! So much! Can't you see-"
"Can i kiss you?" And it made you shut up and stare wide at him with cheeks as red as tomato. what are you doing to me, Denki.
"Can I?" He repeated his question to which you shyly replied with a "Please."
He slowly brought his shaky hands up to your face as you clutched his shirt tighter. He slowly leaned in stopping just a string away from your lips, "Sure?" He asked again and you replied him by pulling him, closing the barely there gap.
You tasted like oblivion to him. something he has never tasted before, like something a lot more than just sweet.
Denki was ready to forget about the little sunday incident, but the way you were holding onto him right now, he doesn't thing he'll ever want to forget anything about you.

part 2
The weekend, the day you had been waiting for the entire week was finally here. Being in the hero course had really taught a few things. Like valuing simplest of things like they were some kind of special privileges, for instance, a day off. You had woken up at 12 noon, you deserved some rest after all.
When you came down to the common area to grab breakfast, there was nobody else there. The usually loud dorm was really quite today. Maybe they all went out together? Maybe they were gone for extra practice? Maybe they went to the other dorms? Yeah, that could be it. You were alone and you had the perfect plan in your mind.
You went back upstairs and put your "Midnight Soul High" playlist on shuffle. You loved music and haven't been able to blast it recently. But now that you were alone, you could very well done so and nobody would be disturbed, or so you thought.
The music started and and you started jamming to it. After a few songs, "Electric Love" by BORNS came up and your cheeks flushed instantly. A dangerous tint of red spreading though your cheeks, the boy you had been crushing on recently was the thought on your mind, the only thought on your mind. You reach for the volume dial and turn it to maximum, you couldn't have disturbed anyone.
However, you weren't aware of the fact that somebody else had slept till noon too. In Denki's opinion there is no better way to spend the weekend other than playing video games till four in the morning and then sleeping like a log till noon. Back to you, you were now dancing with a Pikachu plushie in your arms, which you hold every night hoping it was him. And then, you started screaming the song at the top of your lungs. In that moment, you went feral because of a mere boy you like.
This time the voice reached him, your voice did. And oh lord, was he relieved to know he didn't have to play video games alone anymore. There was nothing more fun than teaching you a new game, then challenging you and then losing to you on purpose after winning for the nth time.
He immediately got up and followed the voice downstairs towards your room. He knocked once, then twice however, no response. In your defense, the music was really loud, and you were too. After trying a few more times he ultimately gave up on knocking and tried to open the door himself, which to his surprise was unlocked. You were alone in the dorm in your head after all.
He opened the door just enough to peak inside and the scene in front of his eyes was blissful. The girl he had been dreaming of since half a year dancing without a care in the world. It was heaven for him. Without him knowing, a lovestruck smile adorned his face as he continued admiring you. And then he saw it, the Pikachu plushie, and his eyes instantly went wide as his face flushed red but what shocked him more was the moment when you bought the plushie closer to your face and gave it a little peck.
Denki's mind stopped working right then. He is a flirt, sure, but you just did something to him. A foreign feeling.
Denki shut the door immediately and spun around resting his back against it. He tried to calm himself down, told himself that it wasn't a big deal. But deep down for him, it was.
He held his head in his hands and slid down the door while you, still oblivious to his presence danced towards the end of the song.
Denki was not functioning properly. Not every Pikachu represents me. Maybe you were just a big fan of the Pokemon Pikachu. It should not bother him so much but just everything, the choice of song, you dancing and singing to it like that, the Pikachu plushie and you pecking it, he just couldn't help it. The girl he was crazy about, the girl he would do anything for, the girl he didn't mind turning dumb for actually liked him? No way. A girl like you could never like a guy like him right? Right.
With an exasperated sigh he got up to head back to his room, abandoning the idea of you being with him, when suddenly the door behind him flung open. And as he spun around he was met with your beautiful face which was as shocked and as flushed as his. You looked just as beautiful as ever but the closeness was just too much to handle.
Damn it, he wanted to kiss you now.
But he couldn't.
Without a second thought or a single word, he started to step backwards eventually fleeing upstairs towards his room. While you stood there stil dazed and confused. And then it hit you like a snowball to the face, or a fireball.
