If I Killed Someone For You- Koji Ayase-

You were sorry you did this, you couldn’t even think about who you actually were, you wanted to tear your clothes off of your body, all you could think of was Koji, how was he going to take this. Would he still want to be close to you? Would he still mutter how much he loves you? 

You feel as though you’ll be remembering loneliness, like all your eyes will be reflecting is the pain of what you’ve done, would he let you explain? Would he let you stay the night? 

Koji was straight laced, uptight, koi was yours, he wasn’t going to hide you as your face reflects on the news, you killed someone for him, and you know he wasn’t going to help you, even when you had killed someone for him. Koji was so perfect, you were so perfect for him, you’d done all this for him, you felt nothing at all, you just knew you loved Koji Ayase as you felt your heart break in your chest, you hadn’t even realised what you’d done, but you knew your face would be littered all over the news, how could it not be? 

Showing up at his doorstep didn’t feel like it was an option, begging him for somewhere to hide, you’d explain it to him, and you already knew Koji, Koji would take you into his house and moments later you would see the flashing lights reflecting in the window, he’d turn you in, he wouldn’t think twice about it, because as much as he could adore you you couldn’t change him from the man he was. 

The Bidders, the men you cared for, they told you the danger you’d be in for falling in love with a man like Koji, he was never going to be perfect for someone like you, you were too twisted, you’d been through too much, and yet all you could think about was your chaotic, straight laced lover, he was always on your mind, you’d fought back against the bidders when they’d told you that he wasn’t going to hold your hand through all this, you’d separated yourself, you’d felt yourself change, willing yourself to become a better person. 

If you killed someone for Koji, he wouldn’t forgive you, they all would’ve helped you hide the body, meanwhile you knew you’d have to practice your confession and stare into a mirror despite the fact you felt nothing, nothing bar your love for this man. 

The questions racing around your brain, it was all so simple, he would not protect you in this moment, he wouldn’t hide you, you needed to learn your lesson in this moment, you needed to pack up your things and leave. Koji, the love of your life, perfect but imperfect. 

Handsome, perfect, and he was never going to be yours again, now you’ve realised you’ve killed someone for him. 

You needed to run, you needed to pack your bag, and leave. You needed to walk out the door, run out of the door, and run down the street. You’d changed, you weren’t who you were meant to be. 

And, with one last look back into the flat you had shared with Koji, and a single tear, you slammed the door on the murder you’d committed. 

You did it all for Koji Ayase, you killed yourself for him.

A Passion Filled Tomorrow -Koji Ayase-

“Koji?” You asked him with a soft pleasurable sigh, your hands tangled up in his brown locks as his lips attacked your neck ferociously, the pleasure Koji was currently giving you, you lived for these little moments the two of you could have together. 

“Hmm?” He mumbled out to you in response, you could feel every breath he would take against the crook of your neck, his lips brushing against your neck with each moment, every breath, every movement driving you insane as he pulled you closer to him. He was content as you were sitting in his lap, he had his mouth attached to your neck, leaving hickeys on any piece of skin he could reach. 

The moon shimmered through the partially closed blinds of your apartment, as you enjoyed the passion he was showing you, being able to show you the love behind his every action, placing his hands on your hips, slowly rubbing his thumbs in circles on the skin beneath your t-shirt, trying to make sure you were as relaxed as he was. 

“I was thinking..” You started, a moan finishing your mumbling, form the feelings that were erupting inside of you, you needed him now, with you. Koji was softly touching you, relaxing your with his kisses and his every movement, wanting you to lose yourself in the moment, wanting to lose himself in the moment. 

“Go on” Koji whispered to you, and you felt him slightly begin to suck on the back of your neck, letting his hands move to your upper legs. Slowly he was driving his hands upwards, taking his sweet time as he knew you didn’t have anywhere else to go. 

“Well, you’re always busy with work, and I wondered if maybe, you could take a day off, for me?” You asked him softly, nerves striking your voice, you didn’t completely expect him to agree and you were more than a little embarrassed to ask him with a slight red colour dusting your cheeks. Koji slowly nodded, moving and placing his lips against yours, it was soft, loving, passionate. 

“Tomorrow, I’ll make it all for you. So we may as well keep going” Koji’s smooth fingers tracing down your arms until he took you down and pinned you under him. 

You were more than ready for the next twenty-four hours.

I'm so sorry to hear that Ayase. You wanna talk about it for a while, with me?

“I can’t discuss details of any active cases. But a coffee sounds nice, thank you.”

Catching Up- Koji Ayase (NSFW)

Here is some NSFW stuff, hope you like it! <3 (Also my final update for the night)

Normally, you weren't a morning person, but this opportunity was too good for you to pass up. It had been several days since you'd seen your boyfriend, Detective Koji Ayase. There was some sort of lead to do with a thief that he felt as though he had to follow and so, with this huge lead looming over him, late nights and early mornings were being spent locked inside of his office leaving no time for you. But you knew how stressed out he got when his schedule was like this and you were determined to get him to relax a little, if even for a moment.

That morning, donning nothing but a trench coat, you snuck into his office, hiding beneath his desk, knowing he would soon be in.

Fortunately, you didn't have to wait very long before you heard his door open, and his shoes against the cold, hard wooden floor as he headed into the office. You heard him set his briefcase down beside the desk before pulling out his chair and sitting down. Scooting the chair in, you take your opportunity to let him know you are there. Very lightly, you slide your hand up the fabric of his trousers, smiling wide as he jumps in his seat, "What the?" He says, about to pull back his chair and look, but you hold his chair in place, not yet wanting him to see you. He sniffs the air, smelling the perfume you put on, knowing it's his favourite, "Is that you?" He asks confused, "It might be" You reply coyly, "What are you doing under my desk?" "Helping you relax" He is about to say something further but any words he was forming are cut off by the gasp that he allows to slip from his lips as you run your hand up the front of his trousers, across the zipper. He clears his throat loudly, trying to maintain control despite the growing excitement already beginning to present itself beneath the fabric of his trousers, "I'm not sure what you're planning but at least let me close the door" "Why? Barely anyone else is here yet, besides, no one can see me"

Once again, the protests he had are lost as you unzip his trousers, slipping your hand inside to feel him through his pants. His excitement continuing to grow as you run your fingers over his through the fabric, smiling even wider as you hear his breath quicken. Knowing you have him good and flustered already, you slide his trousers down, giving you better access to the fabric beneath. Your mouth replacing your hand, your tongue and lips already beginning to work him over as Koji loses all semblance of control, leaning his head back against his chair.

"That feels amazing" He manages to somehow pant out, "Good" You reply, grinning as you reach into his pants, freeing him from the constraints of the fabric. Once again, your hand begins stroking him, working him up even further as his breathing becomes even more ragged, "I won't last long if you keep that up" "Well, then brace yourself for what's next" With that, you lean up further on your knees, your head moving between his thighs as you take him in completely. Hearing him gasp loudly as your mouth works on bringing him the release he so desperately needs.

Soon, he is spent, and you crawl from beneath the desk. Before you have a chance to go further, he pulls you into his lap, kissing you deeply as he threads his fingers in your hair, "You are incredible," He tells you, still working on catching his breath, "That was the sexiest thing a woman has ever done for me" You kiss him one more time before standing and walking over to his door, closing it, you lock it behind you before walking back towards his desk, "You haven't seen what I have planned next" You reply wickedly, dropping the trench coat and setting off round two.

KBTBB- Caught Making Out (Ryosuke Inui & Koji Ayase)

The Bidders Version

Ryosuke Inui Ryosuke had just gotten back from a long day at work, it had been hours, and hours, and hours. And as soon as he had walked in you'd jumped his bones, placing your lips against his, enjoying the pure passion locked within the kisses, as you simply continued, the two of you falling back onto the sofa, lips interlocked, as you reached up, removing his tie, and rather quickly undoing his shirt, placing your hand on his chest, ghosting your fingers over them.

He knew he had to go out again tonight, and began to pull away from you, "I've not got long" He whispered to you, his lips moving against your neck with his every word, placing his lips against your neck again, sucking lightly over your pulse as you let a sigh slip from your lips, "Do you have to go?" You whined out, locking your fingers in his hair, entwining them in the golden locks, as he increased his ferocity, neither of you wanted him to go, and yet, he knew he was going to have to, it was his job, his lips tasting like cherry as you moved his head back so his lips were against yours, while his fingers began to fumble with the buttons closing your shirt, finally undoing them, causing you to gasp as the cold hands met your chest, tracing the lace of your bra as his tongue moved into your mouth, your hips shifting against his.

Moaning out in pure passion, as you tangled your legs around him, not allowing him to move away from you as both you and Ryosuke lost track of the time, continuing as the both of you continued to loose clothes until you were stripped down to your underwear, with Ryosuke on his back, and you above him, hips moving in time with eachother, groans slipping from his lips as yours were attached to his neck, moving to his chest, dancing over every free piece of skin they could find.

So engaged and interlocked with eachother that you didn't take note of the door to your apartment opening, as your lips locked again, not until you heard it slam shut, turning to face the doorway you let a sigh slip from your lips, "Inui, I thought I told you to be in the foyer twenty minutes ago" Soryu muttered in the doorway a look of pure frustration lining his features as a groan left Samejima's lips. "Sorry Sir" He muttered to you, a soft smile breaking out on his lips, as he looked into your eyes, his hand running through your hair, as a scarlet danced across the both of your cheeks, brushing a hand over his cheek as he moved, placing you on the sofa, and briefly brushing his lips over yours.

Koji Ayase Hiding in what could be considered Koji's office you found yourself sitting in his lap, hand locked in curly brown locks as your lips moved in sync, his hands resting on your hips, both of you smiling into the kiss, perfect passion locking the both of you together, and yet the thrill of being able to be caught any moment was almost enough to drove you to a perfect insanity as Koji pulled away for a moment, staring into your eyes as his lips brushed against yours with every word.

"Any moment, someone could walk in" You nodded your head, with his forehead against yours, placing your lips against his briefly, as he moved his head to your neck, his lips moving gracefully against the soft skin of your neck, causing small gasps and moans to slip from your lips as you closed your eyes, leaning your head back with fingers still entwined in his locks in an attempt to bring him closer, tightening their grip whenever the feeling became too strong, small gasps slipping from your lips as you attempted to hold back the moans that wanted to fall from your lips, as you tried to pull his head back up to place his lips on yours as his teeth tugged at the skin on your neck, you knew he was obviously leaving marks against the skin.

Feeling his hands move, they slipped underneath your shirt, the warm hands pressed against your chest, as they touched your skin you almost let a moan slip out but he moved, his lips pressing against yours as you moaned into his mouth allowing his tongue to slip into your mouth, passion leaking from the both of you as your hands moved, undoing each of the buttons on his shirt as fast as they could, cold hands causing him to gasp as they pressed against warm skin, tracing over everything they could reach, as you continued forgetting where you had locked yourself, as the minutes passed, with marks appearing in previously unblemished places.

Yet, as quiet as they both of you had attempted to remain it simply hadn't been quiet enough as you allowed a moan to slip from your lips, and then another one, louder than the last, as lips were placed against your neck, hands on your chest, causing pleasurable sparks to race through you, but too focused upon one and other you ignored the knock that sounded against the door, and then the next, until the person could no longer be bothered knocking, and simply opened the door, "Detective Ayase" Was called out from the doorway, causing you to both pull away from eachother, Koji quickly grabbing hi jacket and swinging it over your shoulders, hoping to cover some of your form, "Is this appropriate?" Was asked, and you watched as Koji lit up even brighter than you, struggling for words, seemingly becoming tongue tied, "Get dressed, and get back to work" The man stated, the door slamming, as you attempted to hold back your laughter looking at your shell shocked lover that leading to you having to try even harder to hold back your laughter, and placing a kiss on his lips, not pulling away for a few moments you waited patiently, before slipping from his lap and finding your shirt, slipping it on, you headed to the door, turning to face him and blowing him a kiss before heading out of the door.

The Right Ending- Koji Ayase- Finale(2)

Part 1

The same thoughts racing through your mind as you imagined how this could finally be your perfect happy ending, thinking about how much you wanted Koji, all you had to do was listen to Baba's advice, just to tell him, this was Koji he wouldn't hurt you.

Standing in front of the bar, you tugged at the bottom of the scarlet dress attempting to regain your confidence as you finally pushed open the door. Stepping in you glanced around the room, testing the waters as customers stared in your direction, some eyes tracing over your form your gaze still tracing the room in hopes of spotting Koji. After verifying that he hadn't arrived yet you slid into the bar, sitting with a glass of red in hand you wearily watched the door, slowly losing hope that Koji was going to show up.

Another glass of red slid down your throat, beginning to wish you hadn't shown up to be stood up, heart hurting at the thought of him playing a game with you, you didn't want to play games you were so in love with him, and hoping he was madly in love with you as well. As the clock ticked forward, the wine faded away, people leaving, you sat alone at the bar men’s gazes still resting on your form as you carried on patiently waiting for Koji, there were no more tries after this, you knew that and as the clock got closer to midnight your hope plummeted.

Maybe you and he simply weren't going to be the best thing like you'd imagined.

The same hope though underlying everything that this was your start to your perfect happy ending, that this was the moment your story was finally going to be right.

The door to the joint slammed open, colliding against the wall, a panting man standing in the door frame, the frown on your lips transformed in a simple moment as you took note of the brown-haired man who was swiping his hair from his face, jogging over to you and he tossed the tender a simple sign to order his drink, slamming himself into the seat beside you, "I'm so sorry, we were so busy. I'm so sorry" He whispered, bowing his head towards you, and you found yourself laughing at his clumsy actions as he pulled his seat even closer to you, tangling his arm around you allowing you to rest your head on his shoulder causing his face to heat up. "Koji, it's alright, I'm just happy you turned up" You whispered to him through your giggles as the tender finally delivered his drink, leaving Koji to lift it and take a swig. "I was worried you might not show up" You continued as you brushed a hand through your hair, admiring him from the corner of your eyes, running a hand down his arm, catching his hand with yours, entwining your fingers with his, "I really am sorry" He whispered and you could tell that people were watching the two of you, the way in which you were laying on each other, whispering.

You found yourself falling even harder as you sat, whispering and drinking, sharing laughs as you each turned the other entertaining shades of crimson, both of you speaking in careful voices, giggles lining your tone, his lips sometimes meeting your own, neither of you drunk in a literal sense but more of a love drunk way. This moment meaning the world to you, no longer able to believe how scared you'd been of showing up, and then of him showing up. Then his lips met your forehead, followed by your lips, you knew other eyes would scan over you both every soon often while he continued to share kisses, drinks and laughs with you, you'd never expected to learn all of this.

Strolling under the moonlight hand in hand with Koji, your head resting on his shoulder, his jacket wrapped around you as the moon seemed to highlight all his features, allowing you to simply gaze hazy-eyed at his beauty. You could feel your heart pounding as you walked alongside him, his thumb rubbing circles on the top of your hand, he was speaking but rather than listening to the words that were swimming around you were hearing his deep voice, each stutter making you smile softly, his nerves still obvious as you got closer and closer to home.

In front of your door, you let a sigh slip through your lips not yet wanting Koji to leave you just yet, scared that you wouldn't get a chance like this ever again, your continued grip on his hand not loosening for even a moment, willing him to stay with you even if for just another second. As his grip on your hand loosened you knew this was the moment when he was planning on leaving, "Thank you Koji, I had a nice time" You whispered to him, a grin lining your cheeks as you moved one of your hands placing it on his flushed cheek, holding his gaze, "I did too" He responded, moving his hand to rest atop of yours, "We should do this all over again" You continued, your grin transforming within a moment to a nervous smile, as your gaze left his for a moment, "We should" He stumbled out, and another giggle slipped from your lips as you moved closer to him.

Moments later, lips meet.

It wasn't a love confession, it was like proof though that you needed him, the kiss showing how you wanted him, and how he wanted you. And from the passion locked in you knew that you would never have enough of Koji, he was far too perfect for you.

The Right Ending?- Koji Ayase- Part 1

Part one of a two-parter with Ayase <3, my lovely Ayase 

When it had happened was still sort of a mystery how it had happened, and you couldn't put a finger on when it had happened. And despite all suggestions you knew that you and him must be the best thing, with just how deeply in love with him you found yourself, he drove you so insane, wanting to begin a perfect romance with him. 

From the start, he'd shown interest in you in his own perfectly sweet clumsy manner, and he'd gotten you to the point of being perfectly in love, it felt like he was some sort of heartthrob from the way he made your heart pound. Yet despite the way in which he'd shown interest in you, you were too scared to tell him, allow the Bidders to know of your love, while all you wanted was for Koji to become the Montehughe to your Capulet heart. Never had you expected to be terrified of having your heart broken, or of the guys in front of you, but the idea of betraying by falling for Koji, you didn't want to see how they'd react.

As you debated what you truly deserved with your want for love racing through your thoughts you gripped your teacup tighter, sighing out loud, grabbing the attention of Baba as you pulled the cup to your lips taking a sip.

Finally taking note of the Thief calling your name, you simply offered a nod in his direction, driving your thoughts away from your failing love for Koji for a moment, for the main reason why you'd met him, and yet the main reason you couldn't love him, "Are you alright pretty lady?" He offered and you simply nodded even though you heard him continue you thought about Baba specifically, how would it affect him if you surrender to your love for Koji. All he wanted to do was capture the Thief in front of you? Would he use you to capture Baba? Would he hurt Baba or you just for the sake of a case? You couldn't stop yourself from thinking like this, just to try and save your heart, to try and force him from your head; in an attempt to find yourself less in love with him. And yet, it all felt like little more than a futile effort with your imagination gifting you pictures of you and he locked in a tight embrace, lips locked tenderly. Maybe you could love him without telling the others, wasting your time with him while keeping him your very own dirty little secret, but the idea felt wrong.

Both Baba's aimless rambles and your own meaningless romantic fantasies were broken by the sound of your phone on the table, Koji's ringtone blasting out like nothing else even mattered. Before you had a chance to grab for your phone Baba has swept it up, leaving you to jump to try and grab for it as he holds it above your head, and as you gasped for the air, Baba held it, unlocking the device in a single moment and reading through the short text, "You up for drinks tonight, I'll buy- Love Koji' As Baba read the text aloud you watched the faces of the bidders change as though the finally realised who Koji was, and just what you were doing, it was as though you were playing with fire, but Baba's was the one that held a look of shock and betrayal as he watched you carefully. "Koji? Koji Ayase" He whispered as his hand fell, allowing you to grab your phone from his hands, slipping it into your pocket before any more mistakes could be made. Your head facing the floor, feeling as though your eyes could create holes in the floorboards avoiding the cold almost harsh glare from Baba in this moment, shifting a hand up combing hair behind your ear, attempting to hide the bright flush on your cheeks as you thought about the text, you were going, far too in love with Koji to even think about refusing and yet in this moment you knew you had other issues to deal with.

"Why is Ayase asking you out?" Baba offered, seeming darker than he ever had before, "I-" Before you could say anything more, a barrage of question sprung from the rather intrigued artist, "A date with a detective eh, (Y/N)? Doing alright aren't you? How long has this been happening behind our backs? Do you not think you should have told us all you were seeing the little detective?" A little off put by these sudden reactions you took a few steps back admiring the rest of the room, Eisuke was watching with a smirk lining his face, Mamoru couldn't look any less uninterested, and Soryu seemed to have gone back to his book, "Why Ayase?" Ota and Baba seemingly chorused, Ota with a grin while Baba seemed more than a little confused, "We just- sometimes- I mean- There are the times when we-" Completely lost, you let a sigh slip through your lips as your brain tried to catch up with your tongue.   "Explain so we understand" Eisuke piped up, the teasing tone lining his voice, turning around you glared at him as you took in a deep breath trying to catch up, "We're friends, just friends, I met him with Baba one day and then, sometimes, he invites me out to drink with him" You whispered, cheeks flushing as you think about him, the whisper of him being just a friend more of an attempt to convince yourself than to convince him. "Just a friend, eh?" Ota offered, stepping closer to you and offering you a jab to your ribs, along with the sarcastic jab to his words.

Allowing a nervous giggle to slip through your lips as you run a hand through your hair the colour darkening as Ota poked holes into your just a friend statement, "Because by calling him just a friend, you're doing something rather redundant. Do you want him? Are you in love with him?" He asked, a smirk to his words, one that would look more at home on Eisuke's face, but twisting away from him to face Eisuke and Soryu on their sofa you took note that the smirk was at home on Eisuke, "I don't- I mean" You couldn't lie, unfortunately, unable to bring yourself to about how you loved him, thinking about how you spend some nights hanging on beside the phone, the lies weren't working for you already. "You don't what, love the little detective?" Baba asked you, turning back to him, you felt as though you were being bullied from all sides as he grinned down at you, "We all know Ayase likes you, but you liking him too, that's a shock" Eisuke whispered, it seemed as though it was more to himself than to you, "We wouldn't be the right kind of thing though, would we? Me and Ayase, I can't imagine it working out, and I don't want to ruin the way he makes my hear throb" You whispered to yourself, tearing your gaze from the lot of them and staring down at the floor, not wanting to be teased, you wanted him but you weren't sure how ready you were to risk it all, even as you fantasized about his lips on yours, his hands all over you, and the date he's now offered you, drinking whiskey alongside the man. "What if it was suggested that you and he might just be the best thing?" Baba offered with a smirk gracing his lips, pulling your phone from your pocket with a quick movement that meant nothing, "So you're in love with Ayase, he's clearly in love with you, why not give it a go?"

Plucking your phone from Baba's hands you let a sigh slip through your lips, as you told Koji you'd meet him, a red flushing your cheeks, "And what am I meant to do, just shout at him how I love him?" You asked him with a soft smile gracing your lips, a red flush shining on your cheeks, "I've been waiting for him to ask me, or confess to me, give me a sign that risking everything would be worth it" You whispered, voice weak and breaking as you ran a hand through your hair, "What would you do Baba? Would you really risk your own heart? What if he uses me as a quick fling? Or what if it ruins this, what if he uses me to get to you guys? What if this is all just a game?" You questioned him, tears breaking their banks as you thought about all the risks that you may take for a quick fling, the risks it might mean for the bidders. "He wouldn't, he's clumsy and rather ridiculous but I can't imagine he'd hurt you" Baba whispered to you as he gathered you in his arms, holding you close him, rubbing his hand up and down your back.

As you calmed down you thought about the sunsets you could spend together, wrapped up in a romance, the way in which he makes you smile, he makes you laugh, sharing this picture perfect romance with you.

Moonlight, with a whiskey, strolling slightly drunk, imagine it, a confession bringing you your final happy ending with Koji.

This was your chance to get your ending right.

Koji Ayase

This is my first fic... I hope you enjoy it😅 I decided to write about Ayase... He seems to be an interesti g character and he is funny too... Enjoy!😊 The woman he loves. He can see her kindness in her smile and to him she is the most beautiful woman in the world. But there is someone else who has stolen her heart before he ever had a chance to even grasp it. Not only did her heart belong to another but it was to the man he had been trying to arrest for years. All those years he had spent nights and days working to catch the famous modern day lupin day and night he would spend researching and investigating. He had no personal life besides the odd night out with other detectives, he was dedicated to his work never thinking about love. Never being comforted or feeling the warmth of love. It was the last thing on his mind. Until one day. He had met her, she was the only kind soul there that day, the only one to assist him when he needed help, the only person who seemed to care. After their encounter he felt somethi g he had never felt before. He felt warm, his heart began to race. But, the moment he realised his love for the woman he had also come to the realisation that she would never be his, he watched in shock as his goddess walked away from him and into the arms of the thief. She truly was like a goddess to him, she was beautiful and kind hearted but at the same time she was out of his reach, he could never have her. She would never love him, even though he knew this he couldnt help but love her with all his heart. If she needed anything he would be there for her, even if it meant helping the thief if it would stop her tears, even make her smile he would do it. He would give her the world. His only wish was for her happyness, even though it broke his heart. He wished he could just forget about this love, but he cared about her too much to forget, he wanted to protect her, to be the one to make her smile. But it was not him who she loved and because of this he drowned himself in his work trying to forget his heartbreak.
