How would Dino, Byakuran, and Enma keep a childhood friend that doesn't have any interest in them by their side, against their will?

[ Ahh I love prompts like these! I had a lot of fun writing this, and I hope enjoy it!

Dino:

Dino can’t understand why. They’re perfect for each other. They grew up together, have always been by each other’s side. Been close through thick and thin. It’s obvious. A perfect match.

At first, he tries to court them. Win them over, show them how good they’d be together. That he’d treat them like royalty. They’d want for nothing by his side. He escorts them to parties, having them brought along even if they initially refused. Shows them the prestige and the respect that comes with being by his side.

Gifts them with the finest of things. Clothes, jewlery, technology, furnishings. Lavish restaurants and foods beyond their dreams.

Even when they continue to resist, he works his charm– but he also exercises his influence and power, and they soon find their lease coming to an abrupt end. Having lost their home, Dino uses this as an excuse to have their things brought to the Cavallone mansion. They’re moving in. It’s not a question.

Any attempts to find their own housing will fail. The rent is too high, the landlord nervously denies them for increasingly flimsy reasons, or the neighborhood becomes very suddenly unsafe.

They’ll be let go from their job. Their university loses their records. Dino slowly but surely strips away every resource and every escape. Their world dwindles and narrows until he’s the only thing left.

By now, it’s obvious this is his doing. Although he has an excuse and an alibi for every accusation, they both know. Dino smiles, laughs, and pretends nothing is wrong, but his eyes have gone a little darker, and his smile is a just a little manic.

With nothing and no one left, Dino confines them to the mansion. It’s a subtle, unofficial house arrest- every attempt to leave is met with resistance. The staff have been carefully instructed to keep them there. There’s an excuse ready for every reason they might have to leave. Groceries? The staff will take care of that. A movie? We have a theater! Friends? That part of the city isn’t safe. Driving yourself somewhere? The chauffeur has the keys, and he’s busy. There may not be bars on the windows, but they can’t seem to set a single toe past the gates of the mansion.

Dino lavishes them with attention. Demands they be by his side every hour of the day, and has them tended to hand and foot. There are more parties, more meetings, more events. Lunch in his office if he’s working, dinner at the top restaurants in the evenings.

Escape attempts seem to be foiled before they begin; supplies go missing, or Dino will suddenly have a surprise trip for the two of them- often foreign business meetings, during which he doesn’t want them left alone. Their every move is monitored. Phone calls, internet, everything. Dino knows what they’re up to. He plans accordingly, and indirectly sabotages them.

If Stockholm Syndrome doesn’t set in, Dino will tether them to his side another way.

He mulls over wedding them with a paid-off priest, but ultimately decides against it. If the friend he’s interested in is a guy, this is the way he’ll go. But if it’s a girl he’s set his sights on, as it often is, then Dino has a backup plan: There’s an easier way. A way that kills two birds with one stone- He secures an heir, and his love can never leave him.

Dino seduces them. They have a moment of weakness- or maybe there’s expensive alcohol involved. But Dino convinces them one way or another, and tries his damndest to knock them up. He’ll rinse and repeat if need be, but is confident he’s succeeded.

In a few months time, they’ll know for sure. They’ll panic, or try to hide it. Dino finds an excuse to ‘discover’ the truth. Are they searching for doctors? Have they stopped drinking? Are they getting sick in the mornings a little too often? Their health is already closely monitored, and there’s no privacy involved. Dino knows everything about them. He’ll back them into a corner until the truth comes out.

His friend can say goodbye to the outside world. Pregnant with his heir, he’s no longer subtle with their house arrest. He outright forbids them to leave without his express permission, and rebellion or escape attempts are met with lockdown.

Dino calls it ‘grounding’, because he’s a shit.

No internet, no access to phones, no setting foot outside the front doors. No garden walks or leisure trips. They’re shackled to Dino every minute. If they’re not by his side, someone will be accompanying them at all times. Whether it’s a meal one room over, or bonding time with the porcelain throne, nothing is sacred. Someone is keeping watch, breathing down their neck.

Dino tells them it’s only until they regain their senses. They’re just scared- and he understands! It will pass. But right now, he can’t trust them, and he’s doing this for their own safety. If they’d only stop fighting him, stop misbehaving, he wouldn’t have to do this.

Dino methodically wears them down. Their world consists of him, and only him. They’re conditioned and brainwashed by his carefully laid plans, and his disarming cheerfulness and affection. They never leave his side. He becomes their world, and their life. The same thing they’ve always been to him, he says.

From the moment Dino made up his mind, there was no chance. No escape. The only choice was Dino.

--------------------------------

Byakuran:

Byakuran is all about rewarding what he wants.

He’s possessive and he wants them by his side, but it’s also a game.

They pull away, and he lures them closer.

Byakuran starts out with being everywhere they normally go. He’s always hovering over their shoulder, following them throughout their day. Classes? Byakuran is there, and no one seems to question it. Groceries? Byakuran keeps an arm around their waist the entire time, despite their best efforts to shake him off. Like a snake seeking heat, it curls around them.

Byakuran doesn’t court them or try to woo them. They’ve known each other long enough that he doesn’t find it necessary. Instead he acts like the relationship has always been and will always be.

When they try to run, he gives chase. He always finds them, smiling like they’d never left.

“That was really clever, ___-chan. Try harder next time, though!”

But because Byakuran is selfish above all things, he grows bored with this game of chase. It’s no longer amusing when they push him away, and it’s irritating when they ignore him. Having his advances brushed off is no longer a fun challenge.

The thought of them wanting to leave him for someone else- anyone else- makes his blood boil. Everyone is a threat. They’ve been his since the beginning, can’t they see that? Why do they need to talk to other people? How could those people be more important than he is?

Years of bonding and friendship has kept them close at his side, and he’s not going to give them up now. They may be too stubborn to understand, may not be able to see it yet, but they belong to him.

It’s not good enough to trap them by his side, locked away safely in his home. He has to have them in every timeline. They have to know they are irrevocably his, and there was never any other choice. They were fated. Destined. Don’t they see? In every world they belong to him.

He keeps them confined, not bothering to slowly isolate them the way Dino would. Byakuran invites them under false pretenses, and their friends, family, and coworkers never hear from them again.

They can fight him. Hate him. Byakuran doesn’t care. Their resistance will crumble eventually, and he’ll be ready when it does. His dominant nature quells most of their outright resistance, and he carefully conditions their behavior with sweet words and spoiling rewards.

Byakuran will get what he want from them, and they may not be the same person when he’s finished.

--------------------------------

Enma:

Enma is far less heavy-handed than Dino and Byakuran. His approach is very strategic and extremely manipulative, but lets them believe they’re making their own choices.

He’s cunning in his approach, and takes it in stride when the friend expresses their disinterest. They continue on amicably, because Enma has planned for this possibility.

Slowly, their world becomes…. unsafe. It’s filled with danger and pain, friends and family turning their backs and walking away. Dates are cruel or disinterested, and any relationships end badly. Enma is there to support them through it all. After all, he’s the one who set it up this way.

Every friend turned vicious, every messy breakup, he makes himself the constant. They run to his arms for comfort, and he gives it without hesitation. He never pushes their boundaries or presses them for a relationship. He becomes the only reliable companion in their life.

Where they live is soon overrun with street violence and gangs. The landlord is angry and irritable, and always has a problem with them. Their neighbors turn nasty or move away. Enma plans out muggings and assaults- but they’re all payoffs, carefully controlled to make them afraid, but never hurt them.

When their world is finally in shambles, he takes them under his wing and helps them pick up the pieces. Unlike Dino, Enma won’t cut them away from their life altogether. Instead, he burns it to the ground and reconstructs it as something he can nurture and control.

Eventually, it’s their own choice to turn to him for a relationship. Enma plants seeds and plays all the right cards to make them fall for him, but never overtly. No, they have to believe it’s their own choice. The downfall has to be of their own volition, because Enma doesn’t want an S/O that’s always running away, that’s filled with fear or resentment or anger. He wants an equal.

Enma doesn’t push them over the edge. He takes their hand and waits until they’re ready to jump.
