His head cocked to the side, a single finger dragging lightly along her arm until it reached her shoulder, brushing strands of snow off behind her so he didnāt have a single thing obscuring his line of sight, taking in the soft features of her sleeping face. Sanzu couldnāt be sure what the time was, not that he cared to begin with, he knew heād been awake for quite some time, his sleep schedule had been nonexistent even before the instance where heād been shot and trying to get on something consistent was proving to be a challenge. However, his pretty little doctor was regularly lying down for bed around eleven since theyād settled in at her house and he wasnāt going to pass up an opportunity to see the usual pink blush spread over her cheeks when his arm would wrap around her to hold her through the night. He was undoubtedly making progress with her, more than heād anticipated he would this early on and needless to say, he was thoroughly enjoying cat and mouse like heād hoped he would.
āShy little thing.ā
He couldnāt count the number of times that sheād blushed over the course of their time in her home, eyeing him bashfully and making half-hearted attempts to avoid his advances; the only time sheād truly stood her ground against him had been over the new pain medication sheād switched him to after the morphine. He hadnāt expected her to argue against him, nor threaten him as she had, sheād refused to budge about how large of a dose he could have and wouldnāt even consider hearing him out about his tolerance. Itād taken quite literally every ounce of willpower he possessed not to strangle her in the moment when all he wanted was to wrap his hand around her pretty little throat and squeeze until she was gasping for air, watch panic fill her doe eyes as she struggled against him, watch the moment of acceptance where sheād give up because she couldnāt overpower him. Those moments were some of his favorites, he yearned to see the panic and fear on peopleās faces when they knew they were going to die, and Bontenās number two had never had to hold himself back; this time he had for the sake of his plans.
He'd gone about making attempts to coerce the woman and heād been sure that it would work, the way she was forever looking at him had been the deciding factor and although heād wanted to wait a while longer before going there, heād been willing to if it meant heād get the dose he needed to manage the pain. Heād been positive that he had her where he wanted her, sheād been looking at him with hearts in her eyes and silently begging him to give her what she wanted, her lavender pools dropping over and over to stare at one thing and one thing only, his lips. Sheād wanted a kiss, something so simple that she couldāve made happen herself, but her reserved nature kept her from taking initiative, she hadnāt made a single move to suggest she wanted more than that from him and itād been a sacrifice heād been willing to make to get a larger dose, even though heād wanted to take things slower and wait a little longer before giving into that temptation. Building it up, dragging it out for as long as possible, teasing her with his closeness but not making the move himself, getting her to a point of desperation that sheād be willing to do anything to have what she wanted and heād almost succeeded, heād been impulsive and jumped the gun before heād gotten her to that point.
Sanzu had been so sure that heād won the moment heād dropped a pet name on her, her stare had become even more intense as she gazed up at him and sheād behaved as though being called āpretty girlā was the best damn thing that had ever happened to her. She was affection and attention starved, sheād melted into his touch the very first time heād reached out to her, her doe eyes constantly looking in his direction and staring directly at him until he noticed, submitting to (most of) what he wanted without a fight, her shy behaviors and soft whining just supporting that further. He wasnāt sure exactly how long sheād gone without companionship outside of her career, but it had to of been a long while considering she behaved like a teenage girl would around their first boyfriend, and he was eating it the fuck up for all itās worth. She was already head over heels for him in a single week, and he could only imagine how brokenhearted sheād be when he had to leave her side so he could touch base with the rest of Bontenās executives, being absent in her life for a little while would benefit him in the long run and he knew as much.
As reserved as she was, she did have some spunk and he realized that no sooner did she flip on him when heād pushed to get what he wanted, the lovestruck expression on her face swapping to annoyed and circling back to what had been going on before he started sweet talking her, with her saying that she would not be giving him more than twenty milligrams every six hours. The pinkette had been sure he was at a point when he wasnāt going to be capable of holding back, heād already anticipated heād end up snapping her neck before the day was out, he refused to show it but the level of pain he was in was a solid nine out of ten; he needed a larger dose than what she was willing to give. Just when he truly thought it was going to be the end of his game, sheād said sheād give him muscle relaxers during hour three of each dose if it wasnāt enough, sheād been willing to offer him that compromise. Heād agreed because he knew it was the best he was going to get and she wasnāt going to budge about the narcotics, he could see in her pretty face that she was aggravated with him over trying to coerce her and that was when the idea came to him.Ā
Sanzu was positive he knew what kind of kiss sheād been longing for but since sheād refused to budge on what he wanted and only offered him a compromise, she wouldnāt be getting it. She hadnāt seemed to expect anything from him either after they put the matter of the pain medicine to rest, making attempts to slip out of his grasp so she could retrieve it as promised. He could see from her refusal to look at him that he was on thin ice, heād sabotage everything he was working for by his own hand if he wasnāt careful and moving forward, he would be far more cautious about how he did things when it came to his pretty little doctor. Sheād offered him a compromise so it was only fair that he offered her something as well, it would keep him in her good graces because as it were, he wouldnāt be able to get by right now without her beautiful drugs. Her doe eyes were filled with surprise over his advance, appearing so dumbfounded that it took her a few long seconds to respond after he pressed his lips to hers and the moment that she melted into it was when he pulled back, an innocent little kiss that had her whining for more and her entire face flushed; the woman was so very easy to please.
By the time that first dose kicked in, the executive realized that the white-headed woman hadnāt been blowing smoke about the pills, the high hit him like a truck and masked every bit of the pain he was feeling, so much so that he didnāt need those muscle relaxers sheād mentioned. Heād never seen something as beautiful as she was, her extensive knowledge about all the drugs in her possession already made her perfect and paired with her physical beauty, the woman was flawless. She was exactly what he wanted at his side, something stunning to look at, something reserved that would never go against him, something fragile that relied on only him for protection, something that would be dependent on him and him alone. Ikeda Yuki was all his, he refused to share her with the other executives and low-ranking scum of Bonten, Mikey would be the only exception to that as the king could have anything he wanted but for the upcoming months, heād be keeping his pretty little doctor hidden away until he didnāt have any other choice but to make her existence known to the others. Heād be enjoying his time playing with her for all it was worth and if he was lucky, sheād never know heād manipulated her from the get-go; he doubted things would turn out that smoothly, but he could dream.
āTo think I was going to kill her.ā
His head tilted against the pillow and arm tightened around her middle as he tugged her body closer to his, she was a heavy sleeper, flipflopping sides without shaking the mattress and he loathed coming to when she wasnāt facing him. Heād had to manipulate her body to do so a number of times in the days theyād been sharing a bed, sheād fall asleep before him after heād drag her across the mattress to snuggle up against him, she always went about keeping her face hidden in his chest out of shyness, trying to hide her blush. He didnāt think heād ever shared a bed with a woman and actually felt content with it, as many women as heād fucked, heād never slept next to one without being balls deep in their cunt first, save for her. Sanzu couldnāt count the number of times heād silently talked himself down from spreading her legs open so he could taste her, how many times heād almost lost against the need to see her face down ass up for him, how many times heād wanted to fingerfuck her until she was crying for him to split her open, how many times heād had to resist the urge to bend her over and tease her until she was begging him to wreck her pussy.
āMy pretty girl.ā
There wasnāt a snowball chance in hell that he wouldāve been able to hold out this long had he not been high every fucking day paired with being shot twelve damn times, he wasnāt healed nearly enough that he could fuck her without popping stitches, the incision sites were still sore and the areas where sheād had to dig out bullet fragments were worse than that. He was looking forward to the day he could split her open, she was the type he wouldāve went after in the clubs, the quiet ones that were so easy to feed drinks to. They were desperate for attention and all too trusting, easy to drug when they least expected it, entirely unaware of their surroundings until it was too late; they kept some of them after a test drive, killed the others. The woman curled against him wouldāve been a keeper, between how breathtaking she was and how tight he imagined she was, she wouldāve been an investment not a one of them wouldāve passed up on trying out. He wouldnāt have to share, not this time, she was all his for the long-haul,Ā hisĀ pretty little doctor and secret.Ā
Heād have to find a way to keep an eye on her when he couldnāt be around, his life couldnāt be on pause solely for a woman, as valuable as she was to him, there were matters in Bonten that couldnāt be ignored that heād have to attend to as second in command and supporting the king would forever be priority over everything else. He already had some ideas for moves he could make that would allow him to check in on his pretty girl at his leisure, but heād need more assurances that no one would pull up on his property. He may get stuck having to recruit someone specifically as a bodyguard to not only keep her all to himself but to make sure she was forever protected once word finally got out that she was his, he wouldnāt be able to keep the secret forever and he knew as much, someoneĀ wouldĀ find out and with how many enemies he had, theyād all take a shot at his property. If it wasnāt Bontenās enemies then it would be the average pathetic fuck passing by her on the street or colleagues in the medical community that she regularly communicated with, everyone was a damn threat to what he wanted.Ā
āSheāll be asleep a little longer.ā
It was still much too early for her to wake up and he knew she wouldnāt of her own accord for a little while longer, heād practically learned her routine just from observing silently and knew every move sheād make to the latter. When sheād start to wake up, sheād roll onto her stomach, sleepy moans leaving her pretty lips as she struggled to come to, her eyes would remain shut while she worked towards becoming fully conscious. Half her face would bury into her pillow, her right arm would press against the mattress, sheād make whiny breathes and noises that expressed just how much she didnāt want to get out of bed. The process had taken twenty minutes the first time heād observed it, sheād alternated between trying to push herself up and lifting her head, moaning and whining in protest until finally, her doe eyes fluttered half open, groggy and filled with sleep. Since heād taken initiative, it made the morning one of his favorite times of day.
āIf she does that one more time-ā
The whiny moan that came from the woman lying next to him had his thoughts coming to an abrupt halt, his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, simultaneously letting out a huffy breath. She was going to push him over the edge if this kept up, heād already had to talk himself down numerous times, reminding himself that fucking her without fucking himself up wasnāt possible just yet but even that argument wasnāt going to last much longer. His composure was hanging by a thread and was going to snap before it was all over, his pretty little doctor wasnāt purposely trying to push him over the edge, she was trying to push herself to wake up and making noises of protest was all too normal of a thing for most people. However, she didnāt realize just what those pretty sounds she made did to him, every moan she let out had went straight to his cock and he was unbearably hard to the point that he was ready to pull her on top of him and make her ride, regardless of it ruining his plans. She was a damn tease whether she knew it or not, listening to her whining and watching her shift around into the lewdest positions, heād silently cursed her numerous times because her clothing left EVERYTHING up to imagination.
āFuck me.ā
Sanzu had silently cursed himself just as much for getting shot up so many times, he couldnāt do jack shit without risking the incision sites, he was constantly having to keep himself in check so he didnāt overdo it and there was a clear limit on how much he could handle. Heād been pushing himself to walk even when it hurt to do so, using a little more strength each day so he could get back to where heād been before this mess and although it hadnāt even been a week yet since his surgery, heād expected himself to be further along than he was. Disregarding his need to get back to headquarters to touch base with Mikey and the other executives so they could bring down justice on the scum that had opposed them, he so wanted to start putting things in motion with the white-headed woman that was driving him mad; he didnāt know just how much more he could handle before he snapped enough to pin her face down ass up and wreck her pretty pussy, regardless of the consequences.
āToo soon, itās too soon.ā
Bontenās number two was all too aware of that, he had to be patient and take things slowly, she was the type that would frighten easily, heād push her away by his own hand if he wasnāt cautious and if that were to happen, sheād be entirely useless to him. Nurture trust with her, build upon the progress heād already made, continue to give her reasons to desire him, keep giving a little at a time until she was hooked, manipulate circumstances as needed to get her to a point of codependency, take things slowly and everything would fall into place where and when it should.
āShit.ā
The soft little noise that left her was almost equivalent to a purr, that was enough, he realized that trying to ignore her morning routine wasnāt going to get him anywhere, his head rising from his hand to look at Yuki. Her snow-colored locks were a disheveled mess, partially hiding her face from view, strands strewn over the arm supporting her head and along the pillow, she was lying on her belly, eyes still closed, and lips parted to release soft breathes. His aquamarine eyes were raking over her form for what was probably close to the five hundredth time this morning, taking in everything that was her from her dark lashes to the way the shorter strands of white framed her heart shaped face, the rise and fall of her chest beneath her with each breath. The woman was stunning, entirely flawless and it had to be the reason that he was teetering on the edge of snapping, heād never desired something as much as he did her and knowing that he couldnāt indulge in her was what had to be driving him mad. Heād been around plenty of beautiful women that did the same damn thing as the one next to him so there was no reason his reaction should be any different than it usually was, the only difference was that he had to wait this time around and as impatient as he was, he knew it was for the best that-
āFuck it!ā
The last whine had done it, heād snapped to some degree, not even registering what he was doing in the moment as he grabbed hold of her and forced her onto her back without a word. Her doe eyes snapped open no sooner was her back pressed against the mattress, a dumbfounded expression on her face as he planted himself above her, hands resting on either side of her head and a knee forced between her thighs. Her bottom lip caught between her teeth as she gazed up at him, not seeming to know what to do with herself as he leaned closer to her, strands of pink brushing her shirt.
āHaruchiyo.ā
The pink-haired male couldāve smirked over just how timid she sounded, her lavender pools were staring up at him longingly, just as she had every time that heād given her one of those three second kisses that she never seemed to be able to get enough of. It may have been too soon in more than a few ways but just because he couldnāt go that far, didnāt mean he couldnāt play around with her since sheād driven him to the point of insanity in the last fifteen minutes with her teasing sounds.Ā
āIsnāt this what you wanted, Doctor?ā he drawled, his tone suggestive; pink was blooming on her cheeks instantly, her small form shifting against the mattress with obvious embarrassment. āThatās why you were making those pretty sounds for me, right?ā
āW-what?ā the woman responded, sounding anxious; he couldāve giggled over how easy she was to fluster but refrained, taking his time as he inched closer to her.
āYou know what.ā He retorted easily; she bit harder into her lip, her eyes as wide as saucers and glued to him. āAs much as I like the idea, I canāt give you my best right now.ā
Her lavender orbs only seemed to have gotten wider when it clicked for her and she realized just what he was getting at, her face was scarlet as she tore her eyes away, breaking their staring contest first as she always did.
āAm I making you nervous, Doctor?ā Sanzu pressed, not bothering to hide his teasing tone; she shook her head lightly, refusing to look at him as she did so, and a small smirk formed on his lips. āLook at me, pretty girl.ā
Giddiness was threatening to overtake him at how quickly she responded, her doe eyes flicking back to him practically on command and finding his gaze regardless of the blush spreading over her cheeks, that sweet pet name already held power over her. Heād already set a line for himself that he wasnāt going to cross today or any time soon, no fucking her, not until she was completely hooked on him, and he was fully healed; heād have to find a way to resist whatever temptation was thrown at him. He was already so close to her pretty lips and only holding himself back from diving right in just to see how far he could push her, but she was too far gone to even attempt to stand against him, she hadnāt been awake five minutes yet, so this was undoubtedly the perfect time to play with her. He paused the advance when one of her arms hesitantly rose from her chest, she seemed as though she were deeply considering something for a brief moment before she slid it around his shoulders, her free hand brushing strands of pink away from his face.
āSo pretty.ā The white-headed woman murmured, not even seeming to register what sheād said aloud; the smirk on his lips widened in response.
āYou really are making this so easy for me, Doctor.ā
A quiet squeak came from her when he slid his knee across the mattress, inching further up until it was a few measly centimeters from being pressed against her core, her face filled with embarrassment, her hand made an attempt to retreat but he didnāt let her, catching her wrist and guiding it back to his cheek. As nervous as she was acting, she still had hearts in her eyes as she gazed at him, her lavender orbs cycling through staring into his, flittering to his lips and down further, which hinted at what he already knew she wanted; as impatient as he was to taste her, it wasnāt time yet.
āHaruchiyo.ā Yuki spoke softly; his knee inched closer, watching the blush on her cheeks darken at the ministration, his fingers lightly tracing the pink traveling over her nose.
āWhat is it, pretty girl? You want something, donāt you?ā he guessed, already well aware of the thoughts that had surely risen in her head by now; the shy expression on her face was all he needed to see to know he was right, the heat between her thighs said everything that she struggled to but she would say it, he wanted to hear the words come out of her pretty mouth. āUse your words.ā
Her eyes were filled with bashfulness and Sanzu was eating it up, heād never enjoyed the game so much up until now, it only got better by the minute, and he had so many ideas on how he could drag out the fun without pushing his own patience right over the edge. She folded so easily to him, didnāt try to argue against any advances he made on her, she reciprocated them once she got passed her shyness, heād even noticed her debating countless times about making an advance of her own but never following through, and the look in her eyes right now was the same as when she was considering those things deeply. His eyes lit up when she tugged lightly at his shirt, her arm pressing against his neck in attempts to urge him closer to her and although heād wanted her to say it, he allowed it this time, inching towards her painstakingly slow until there was hardly any space between them. The executive had expected some form of whining to get him to relent, it seemed to align with her submissive personality and that seemed more plausible, not for her to close the distance all on her own.
āFuck, good girl.ā
Building her up with those three second innocent kisses was what had gotten him to this point, he never wouldāve made it if heād jumped straight into it, she was so needy and desperate for more that sheād willingly stepped outside of her comfort zone. She initiated the kiss, molded her lips with his once before her composure seemed to falter since theyād never gotten passed that, hardly breaking their kiss before he took over, capturing her lips with his with the determination to make her melt for him. Her arm tightened around his shoulders and free hand moved into his hair as she followed his lead, matching the slow pace heād set while their lips moved in perfect sync. It was taking every ounce of his willpower to hold himself back from ravaging her mouth the way he wanted to, silently reminding himself that taking things slowly was the best thing he could do for himself and as impatient as he felt to get to that place, the only thing he could do was deal with it until it was safe for him to take things further with her. Rome wasnāt built in a day and as desperate as his pretty little doctor was, building trust with her couldnāt be accomplished with anything but time.Ā
At the rate that things were going, he estimated that heād have the white-headed woman where he wanted in three months and as far off as that sounded considering how quickly sheād warmed up to him in just a few days, he was including all the time that heād have to be away from her for Bonten business and the like. There were matters that he couldnāt ignore and being Mikeyās shadow was at the top of the list, there were a great many things coming up in the next few months from the Gala Koko had been planning for weeks to all the business dealings/meetings Kakucho had set up. Heād have to sacrifice time with her to attend to those dreadfully boring things but when he had the spare time to return to her side for a few days, sheād be as thrilled as a puppy was to see its owner, she was already attached enough that he couldnāt be outside of her line of sight longer than five minutes before she was seeking him out.
āDonāt rush it.ā
A pitiful whimper came from her when he broke the kiss, her lavender pools finding his aquamarine ones without pause, staring up at him pleadingly and silently begging for more, her pretty face filled with longing for him. He shifted just enough to press a kiss to her forehead, pink quickly blooming on her cheeks in response and looking away shyly.
āGood morning, pretty girl.ā
āFucking tease.ā
The single sheet covered everything from her waist down and had he been able to see anything, he wouldāve already removed it long before now, but Yuki was the type that wore baggy t-shirts and sweatpants to bed, no over-the-top lingerie like the women in the hostess clubs were forced to wear. Heād have to change that when the time was right, as many times as heād eye-fucked her over the course of the days theyād been together, it wasnāt enough to imagine just what lied beneath her clothes, what heād seen of her legs was perfect and what heād felt of her petite figure was immaculate. Talking himself down proved to be more difficult during every instance he touched her, the small dips and curves of her body were so very tempting to touch, he truly didnāt know how heād managed to resist this long when she molded against him flawlessly, especially during the nights when sheād be snuggled up against him. Could he have gotten by with it without waking her, absolutely but getting by with it wasnāt the problem, not being able to stop was and he knew himself all too well, he wouldnāt be able to until heād touched every inch of her, inside and out.
A smirk formed on his lips when a soft hum came from the white-headed woman as she nuzzled against him and grabbed a handful of his shirt, shifting herself so close that there wasnāt even a centimeter between them, he almost bit his tongue off to silence himself when her hip pressed against his dick. She unknowingly made the prettiest sounds, and he would surely never get enough of hearing them, sheād whined at him every time heād pressed a three second kiss to her pretty lips, her lavender pools silently begging for more. She melted every single time, heād give her one short kiss every six hours just as she did with his pills and the needy expression that formed on her face when he broke away from her always had giddiness filling him, watching the pink spread over her cheeks and pulling her eyes from his shyly. She was desperate for him, so much so that his own resolve to drag things out was threatening to crumble, cat and mouse was his favorite game to play but seeing how hooked she already was on him made him want to say fuck it. She was already his and if he could find a way to prove that toĀ her, then he wouldnāt necessarily have to keep the game going unless he wanted to. The quiet noises she made were teasing, constantly making him painfully hard with each sheād let out and he was dying to see just how pretty sheād look bouncing on his cock, if he could wait, heād have the means to record that first time to look back on whenever he wanted.
āThatās worth the wait.ā
As impatient as Sanzu felt, itĀ wasĀ worth waiting around for and until then, he could still play around with his pretty little doctor without fucking her, it was all too easy to fluster her, and he was thoroughly enjoying just how fun of a time he had with the simple things; heād never seen a woman as shy as she was. He could gather that she was the type that would beg and plead, let out soft whines and whimpers, cry in her need to cum or from overstimulation; sheād probably never had a real man before him, only boys that didnāt know how to please a woman. Seeing her reaction every morning upon waking up was a treat, it was the only time of day heād give her more than innocent pecks since heād stepped up that part of the game and just yesterday, sheād pouted when their kiss came to an end; she made no movements to initiate another, even with the deep pout on her pretty pink lips. The morning routine hadnāt started just yet, but he didnāt have it in him to wait any longer, easing her onto her back and moving to hover over her as he had for the past three, brushing strands of snow off to the side as he leaned down closer to her. He didnāt know why the idea hadnāt come to him until now, but it wasnāt worth pondering on, sheād be going back to work tomorrow, and he was going to make damn sure thatĀ everyoneknew she wasnāt up for grabs.Ā
As expected, heād been just gentle enough when he moved her that she didnāt stir, her eyes still closed and soft breathes passing through her lips, the pinkette didnāt anticipate her staying asleep much longer after he made this move. The light kiss he pressed to her nose was the first with no reaction, the next was her cheek, a small shift when he began trailing kisses along her jaw, a sleepy hum coming from her when his lips met her throat; she was starting to come to. He didnāt stop, continuing to press open-mouthed kisses along the column of her throat even as she stirred under him, soft little noises leaving her that told him she was growing closer to a semi-conscious state and he couldāve grinned when he noticed the slight roll of her hips, sliding his knee up to fully press against her core for the first time. A breathy moan left her pink lips when he found the spot he wanted whereĀ everyoneĀ would see it, sucking down with intent and almost lost his focus when her hips rocked, grinding her heat against his knee.
āFuck, thatās my good girl.ā
He was going to bask in the moment because he was aware that as soon as she awoke, that shyness would take over and she wouldnāt make a move like that again until the next time he woke her up. Sanzu pulled back just long enough to observe the bright red hickey on her pretty ivory skin before latching onto another spot, heād cover her in his marks so not a soul would dare to approach her when he wasnāt around to deter it. Her sleepy moans were the only sounds filling the empty air, grinding against his knee like a needy slut, heat radiating from between her legs as he trailed marks along her unblemished skin, satisfaction swelling inside him when her arm wound around his neck.
āThatās it, what a-ā
āHaruchiyo.ā Yuki spoke; her voice almost came out as a purr and went straight to his dick, running purely off his need for her as he rubbed his arousal against her hip, his hand quickly finding the waistband of her sweatpants. āHaru.ā
āFuck it.ā
Fuck being patient, fuck dragging out the game, fuck taking things slowly; he didnāt have another day in him after hearing the way she moaned his name. Sheād fix him when the incisions ripped, recovery time would be extended but that was the last thing he was worried about, heād find a way to contact the others to let them know he was alive, even if he had to swipe her phone to do so; right now, the only thing on his mind was being balls deep in her tight little cunt. He pulled back from her throat to find her half-lidded eyes glazed over, only partially aware of what was happening, the pink hue running over her cheeks, she looked breathtaking beneath him, and sheād look even more stunning taking his-
āShit.ā
It felt as though heād been stabbed with a white-hot iron, muscles tightening and essentially cramping up when the shooting pain hit him like a truck, a slew of curses filling his head because of the shit timing, another few minutes wouldāve been all he needed to get what he wanted. It seemed the gods were far from caring about what he wanted and were going to continue to screw with him so long as he was recovering, his side was almost on fire in the areas where sheād had to dig out bullet fragments. His hand retreated from her sweatpants and grasped at his side, managing to maneuver himself just enough that he didnāt collapse on top of her from the pain coursing through him, holding just enough composure to ease himself down onto the mattress next to her. His jaw locked as he clenched his teeth, keeping his expression as neutral as possible when she scrambled to sit up, his lavender orbs wide with alarm and fully awake as she looked him over, quickly making her way to the edge of the bed.
āIāll get your pills, donāt move.ā The woman ordered, her voice entirely collected; it was the same thing every time he almost collapsed in pain, that shyness nonexistent as sheād be in her doctor mindset.
āLike I can.ā
It looked like being patient wasnāt something he could afford to overlook; heād have to find a way regardless of how tempting she was.
āFucking shit.ā

Warnings: Mentions of Controlled Substances, Coercion, Manipulation, Profanity, possibly more that I forgot to mention.
Flashbacks are in pink text!
For the first time since heād spoken to her the day prior, she was the furthest thing from being flustered from his words, a purse on her lips and her hands on her hips, her neck craned back to stare up at her patient, her expression nonnegotiable.
āTwo.ā She repeated, her tone expressing that she absolutely refused to budge; his lips were pressed into a thin line, that displeased look sheād grown accustomed to seeing over the last few days theyād been together was still going strong, regardless of her trying to put her foot down with him.
āFour.ā He retorted lowly, his voice teetering on exasperation; she shook her head, absolutely not.
āYouāll overdose, no.ā she reasoned, stating the truth; she was the medical professional here, heād overdose if she gave him four pills three separate times a day, this was heavy duty stuff. āTwo now, you can have another dose in six hours.ā
āTwenty milligrams is nothing.ā He argued, sounding irritated; she couldāve scoffed, the opioid was stronger than morphine in some cases, he didnāt need to be teetering on the brink of death right after sheād saved his life and regardless of how aggravated he was with her, she wasnāt going to bargain about this.Ā
āYou canāt have more than sixty in a day; it could kill you.ā She explained, her voice matter of fact; if heād just take the pills and wait for them to kick in, heād see that she wasnāt joking around about how strong they were, and itād stop him from demanding a larger dose next time.
āMy tolerance-ā
āIsnāt a factor.ā She interrupted, her voice swapping to stern; if he was really going to continue to press her about this then sheād only give him one, he didnāt want to test her when it came to narcotics. āTwenty milligrams, two pills every six hours.ā
āDoctor-ā
āYou wanna make it one?ā the woman asked, her tone warning; despite how soft her features usually were, her gaze was hardened, proving that she meant business.
She was sure he was questioning why he hadnāt snapped her neck back at the clinic, he was positively fuming over her refusal to give him what he wanted and even if he debated on doing so now it wouldnāt do anything to help him. All those pills were locked up in her safe, the combination only accessible in her mind and sheād made sure not to open it when he was around, she was glad for that now because he surely wouldāve taken too many pills if he had access to them. A quiet squeak left her in surprise when the palm of his hand slapped against the wall right next to her head, stepping so close that there wasnāt even a foot worth of space separating them, her heart going into overdrive from the way he was looming over her. Her mouth felt thick with spit the instant his free hand reached towards her throat and although sheād been sure he was about to strangle the life out of her, his fingers hooked under her chin instead, urging her to meet his piercing eyes. Remembering how to breathe was proving to be a challenge, the intensity of his stare had her shifting her weight from one foot to the other, trying her utmost hardest to ignore the slick that had settled in her panties; if he thought he could seduce her into giving him what he wanted then he had another thing coming because she definitely wasnāt going to-
āFuck,Ā breathe.ā
There was no question the thought was in his head, the way his aquamarine pools were raking over her from head to toe told her as much, whether it was simply out of wanting to get his way, she couldnāt be entirely sure considering the number of times his stare had roamed her form. He was entirely aware of the effect he had on her, being high hadnāt blinded him to it from the get-go because although his cognitive function was impaired then, he functioned much better than most people. It seemed that she was dealing with a person that either abused drugs or had chronic pain to the point that he had regular prescriptions to manage it, she wasnāt going to judge him by assuming one or the other. During the moments he was high, he was still capable of holding his composure, never slurring his words or talking so fast that it was obvious; he wouldāve come off completely sober if it werenāt for his pupils dilating. Heād even been capable of retaining full memories during those moments, he could pay attention if it was something he was interested in observing and he remembered much more than sheād anticipated; some of the things heād made comments about had surprised her, like the name of her secretary, heād learned it when sheād been on that phone call. She couldnāt put it passed him not to know just how attracted she was to him, not only was he observant but she couldnāt hide it to save her life. He was going to try to use that to his advantage to persuade her to relent to whatever it was that he wanted in the moment, and heād gone as far to test it last night after they had settled in.
Ā Yuki had never been more thankful for hot water than she was tonight, sheād felt absolutely disgusting after how long sheād gone without washing her hair and she was going to have to start making a point not to spend more than two nights away from home if she wound up in the zone with her researching; itād taken much too long to both detangle and wash her hair after how many times sheād had to use dry shampoo. A content sigh left her, running the brush through her hair one more time just to ensure sheād gotten all the tangles out before stepping out of the adjoining bathroom, it would take forever for her hair dry with the length of it, but it wasnāt so damp that sheād soak her pillow should she lay down for bed in the next few minutes. Itād been a long day and the only things that she had left to do were give her patient that last shot of morphine, remove the IV, clean the area, slap a band-aid on it and call it a day. She doubted sheād even hear Kuro running the halls like he usually did in the dead of night with how exhausted she was, her couch in the office may have been her regular sleeping spot but sheād undoubtedly missed her bed.
āJust have to get a few more things done, thatās it.ā
She quickly punched in the code to the safe, opening it up and placed all the prescription bottles in it, easing the door shut until the alert sounded that it was secure again. She didnāt have very many valuable things in her home, mostly documents, but sheād wanted a safe nonetheless. It was helpful when it came to keeping all those pills safe while she was sleeping, she wanted to make sure her patient was educated on just how strong they were before she gave him free reign of them and tonight would not be the night considering he was about to get his last dose of morphine. She carefully removed the syringe from her purse, sliding over to her bedside table to collect what sheād previously gathered up for the IV removal and her lip caught between her teeth when she felt the pads of his fingers lightly graze her neck, easing her hair off to the side, the other hand pressing against her hip. There wasnāt a doubt in her mind that this man knew what he was doing, disregarding that he hadnāt even bothered to knock or announce his presence, he didnāt seem to care if she wanted personal space or not; she was pleasantly surprised at how many times heād reached out to her today but that wasnāt the point.
āDo I even care?ā
The white-headed woman didnāt, had it been anyone else then absolutely, but it wasnāt, it was him and whatever it was about him that had ensnared her, it hadnāt just up and disappeared. The reactions she had to his touch were something sheād never experienced before him, she may have never dated but he hadnāt been the first man sheād ever admired, what sheād felt towards all of them combined was nothing in retrospect to the pink-haired male. Sheād been on that page for a few days, but it hadnāt completely sunk in until now, becoming abundantly clear no sooner did her heart start fluttering, his chest lightly brushing against her upper back, fingertips softly caressing her hip, the other hand sliding her white locks off to the side. She bit harder into her lip when his cheek pressed against the side of her head, the warm breath in her ear sending a shiver through her; she didnāt think she had the courage to look at him even though he was most certainly looking at her.
āDoctor.ā He murmured; her face burned hotter in response, the way he continued saying her professional title was the definition of teasing and it didnāt take a genius to come to the conclusion that it was his intention, he was trying to embarrass her.
āSlow breathes, calm down.ā
āY-you donāt have to keep calling me that.ā She mumbled, her voice filled with shyness; it took every ounce of willpower she possessed not to shift around in his hold over the soft hum he let out while squeezing her hip lightly, her knees centimeters from knocking together. āYukiās fine.ā
As informal as it was considering they didnāt know anything about each other, she honestly just wanted to hear how her name would sound when it rolled off his tongue, she knew she had to of been thinking like a creep at this point. She was just setting herself up for disappointment, heād go back to his regular life and getting attached to someone that she knew sheād never see again wasnāt a smart move on her part, unrealistic expectations that she set would end in heartbreak. The things her friends had regularly told her over the years were starting to make sense, if she wouldāve dated long before now, even just casually, she wouldnāt have swooned over him as quickly as she had. All these small things that he was doing wouldnāt have gotten to her so easily, her heart skipped simply over him looking at her, sheād forget how to breathe just from his hand on her hip, hearing his voice drenched her panties and sheād internally begged more than a few times that heād kiss her; she shouldnāt have been getting so worked up over nothing.
She needed to pull herself together, she didnāt want to come off as desperate, but it was hard to maintain that mindset when she was looking at him, he was beautiful, and the deepness of his stare always entranced her. She couldnāt even remember what her dream guy had looked like after seeing him because it certainly had become the man currently touching her, everything about him was flawless. His rosy-pink locks that fell well below his shoulders, his aquamarine eyes that practically pierced her soul, the four small black hoops on each of his ears, the diamonds at the corners of his mouth, the gentle way heād squeeze her hip or carefully brush strands of white from her face, the intense way he watched her as though she were the only person in the room (even though she technically had been); sheād swooned long before now. The doctor managed to put the syringe down in the nick of time, she surely wouldāve dropped it with the way his hand slid across her belly to her other hip, locking around her middle. She almost swallowed her tongue when he fully snuggled up against her back with his lips hovered at her ear, his free hand sweeping snow-colored strands over her shoulder.
āYouāre my doctor, arenāt you?ā he whispered directly into her ear, his tone sensual; warmth had settled between her thighs in response and her knees were almost going weak from his voice alone, her tongue felt much too heavy to form any words.
āHeās trying to give me a heart attack.ā
āI want to be close to you, Doctor.ā He followed up, his voice implying; her breath hitched when his arm squeezed around her belly lightly, her cheeks flushing darker when his free arm joined the other, his face moving into her neck. āYouāll let me sleep next to you, right?ā
If he hadnāt been before, there was no doubt that he indisputably was trying to give her a heart attack now with a request like that, her heart was threatening to go into overdrive from nerves alone and she almost felt at a point of overheating simply from how hot her face felt. Her ears were burning in embarrassment, her mind conjuring up a number of scenarios all in a span of three seconds and not a one of them were anything close to PG, she hadnāt even had her first kiss yet so how would she manage to sleep next to a man without having a panic attack, let alone the perfect one latched onto her? She didnāt think her face could flush any darker, sheād never anticipated anything close to this when sheād decided that taking the precaution to go to her house rather than staying at the clinic would be for the best. He just continued throwing her for a loop, sheād never imagined heād warm up to her so quickly and regardless of the fact that he was teasing her for all its worth, she couldnāt find it in herself to make attempts to shut it down.
āO-okay.ā She mumbled, her voice bashful; another quiet hum left him, seeming pleased that sheād folded so easily to what he wanted without a fight.
Yuki wiggled around in his grasp until his hold on her loosened just enough that she could turn to face him, his arms still wrapped loosely around her waist and making no movement to fully release her. Despite the red hue on her cheeks, she placed her hand lightly against his shoulder and the other against his chest, avoiding touching any of the areas heād been shot, craning her neck back to lock eyes with him.
āYou need to sit down so I can give you this last dose.ā The woman urged gently; his head cocked to the side with interest, his aquamarine pools holding her lavender ones. āI need to remove the IV when weāre done.ā
He was silently questioning her, she could see it in the way he was looking at her and if she didnāt clear things up for him now, she had a feeling he wouldnāt make things easy for her, heād think she was trying to cut him off when that wasnāt it whatsoever.
āIām replacing the morphine with something else; I know youāre still in pain.ā She continued with compassion; she didnāt want to invalidate his feelings because although heād moved around more than sheād ever anticipated he would at this point, she could see from his expressions that it wasnāt without significant trouble, he was pushing himself to. āI want to start you on it while youāre with me, so youāll be used to it by Monday.ā
She could tell that as much as he didnāt like it, he did understand on some level why he couldnāt be on the morphine any longer, and she was thankful that she wasnāt going to have to go into a big spiel about why it wasnāt for long term use, the dependency it could cause, etcetera; he was smart enough to know that he had to use something else for pain management. He was obviously reluctant to agree but gave a short nod regardless, his arms never slipping from her waist as he maneuvered the two of them around until he was able to take a seat on the edge of the bed, pulling her to stand between his legs. Her cheeks went warm all over again over how close they were and being face to face with him was more impactful than sheād thought it would be, they were around the same height now and she could see details about him that sheād missed before; his nose was cute. Her patient seemed to be on the same page as herself in some respect, his gaze focused solely on her face, taking in her features, studying her with the utmost dedication; it was almost as though they were seeing each other for the first time all over again. She couldāve gotten lost staring at him, and she almost had up until one of his hands left her waist, her eyes pulling from his to pay attention to her movements while she grabbed the syringe, uncapping the needle end.
Her persona swapped to professional without so much as thinking about it, holding total composure while she injected the opiate into the IV, effect was immediate just as it always was, his arm relaxing around her just enough that she knew it was working. She made quick work of removing it from his hand, going about the aftercare meticulously and covered the site to protect it during the healing process, he hadnāt so much as flinched the whole time sheād gone about the process from start to finish.
āFinished.ā She commented; a pleasant hum left him in acknowledgement, her doe eyes quickly finding his when he tugged at her waist with just enough strength that she was pressed flush against him.
āLay down then.ā He followed up easily; his tone told her that arguing against it would do her no good, he wasnāt going to budge about wanting her right next to him. āI donāt want to make you, youāre a delicate thing, Doctor.ā
Yuki nodded without argument, unable to hide just how flustered she felt as she climbed up onto the mattress after switching off the lights, following his own movements as he made room for her and laid down on her side facing him. A quiet scoff left him in displeasure, it was indefinitely over how much space sheād left between them, but she didnāt get a chance to say anything before he latched onto her waist and drug her across the sheets until there wasnāt an inch of space between them. Her pulse was racing all over again over his boldness, high or not, he hadnāt been fooling around about wanting to be close to her and as high of a priority as figuring out what it meant was on her list, itād have to wait until tomorrow.
āUmā¦goodnightā¦ā she began with uncertainty; sheād figured itād be uncomfortable to some extent and the lack thereof was strange in of itself, she felt entirely thrown off from how natural it felt.
āGo to sleep.ā He muttered unenthusiastically; she sealed her lips, nodding into his chest, his hold on her was so secure that she wouldnāt be able to slip away from him should she want to and trying to argue with him about how he needed space so she didnāt unknowingly brush up against any of the incision sites wouldnāt go over well.
āTired.ā
Exhausted was the more appropriate term, she was sure sheād manage eight hours at the least tonight and if she was lucky-
āHaruchiyo.ā
Her eyes fluttered open at the sound of his voice, her lips parting in confusion.
āWhat?ā she asked softly; the word came out before she had time to think about the best way to respond, a heavy sigh coming from her companion over her question.Ā
āNot repeating myself.ā He mumbled with a grunt, his voice slightly annoyed; she sealed her lips all over again, her body going limp in his hold when his free hand moved to petting her hair. āGo to sleep, Doctor.ā
āHaruchiyo.ā
She took a small step back without so much as thinking about it, another squeak leaving her when her back bumped the wall and his eyes practically lit up with amusement when pink returned to her cheeks the second his thumb traced her bottom lip. The doctor was indisputably at a rock in a hard place, she couldnāt pull herself together when he was so close to her nor could she screw her head on straight long enough to create distance so she could think, heād only blocked off one side so if she really wanted to, she could slip away from him. She looked up through her lashes to find him staring at her so intensely she couldāve forgotten who she was, his eyes were mesmerizing and as hard of a time as she had maintaining eye contact with him, she continued trying her best to hold it for as long as she could, his eyes were her favorite thing about him. The thought of creating distance disappeared no sooner did it show up, sheād blanked all over again just from staring at him too long, standing her ground against him was looking like a pipedream since she just continued losing her train of thought and the like from that alone.Ā
āDoctor.ā The pink-haired man drawled playfully, his voice coming out lowly; her face flushed hotter, he was hovering closer to her, his gaze zeroed in on her lips, strands of pink slipping over his shoulders and lightly brushing the sides of her face the closer he got.
āDonāt cave, be strong, donāt cave!ā
āN-no, two, only two.ā She stammered anxiously; her words didnāt seem to even faze him, a smirk forming on his lips when she batted his hand away from her chin, only for it to slip around to press against the small of her back and tug her right up against him.
āOh god!ā
She couldnāt fold, no matter how flustered she felt nor how close he was to giving her what would be her very first kiss, she couldnāt give in to what he wanted, and sheĀ wouldnāt; heād overdose and likely die if she gave him forty milligrams in one go. He wasnāt going to give up though, she could see that he was just as stubborn as she herself could be and the only way that she was going to be able to get him to drop it was if she offered some kind of compromise. He was much too determined to get his way so regardless of how dangerous it could be, it was the only thing that she could do, she wouldnāt have to follow through with it once he realized that she wasnāt trying to short him pain relief once the pills kicked in. She just had to word things carefully, make no promises so he couldnāt claim that sheād lied to him once he wasnāt on another planet because he most certainly would be in the next half hour after he took the pills. Her pulse was racing at the feeling of being pressed against him, the blush on her cheeks darkening shade by shade the closer he inched towards her lips, her free hand moving of its own volition to tangle in his shirt, the other resting at his shoulder.
āHaruchiyo.ā She spoke, her voice barely above a whisper; his aquamarine orbs were gleaming as he took her in, seeming all too pleased at how close she looked to giving into him.
āYes, Doctor?ā he responded with a hum; she felt like sheād gone completely stupid simply over his hand leaving the wall to cradle her head, white slipping through his fingers as he guided her face closer to his.
āY-you shouldnāt, we sh-shouldnāt.ā she began, her tone anxious; she didnāt know why sheād even bothered speaking words of resistance, heād made it perfectly clear that he wasnāt going to stop just because it stepped outside of the doctor-patient relationship dynamic.
āWe shouldnāt.ā he repeated quietly, sounding entirely collected; despite agreeing with her, he hadnāt stopped closing the distance, so she knew for a fact that he didĀ notĀ care about trying to maintain whatever professionalism was left between them. āTell me to stop.ā
Yuki was internally screaming at this point and couldāve fainted with how lightheaded she felt, there was no way she could face that challenge head-on nor come out of it victorious if she tried her hardest, it was taking every ounce of her willpower to resist temptation, his lips were hardly three inches from hers. As unbecoming of her profession as it was, she couldnāt force herself to say no, the line had been blurred to the point that having purely a doctor-patient relationship wasnāt possible anymore because she hadnāt kept a businesslike approach to things. Sheād been too caught up in whatever infatuation she was feeling towards him and hadnāt been able to turn it off, itād practically made all of the decisions for her, and it was why sheād wound up in this mess. She shouldāve called an ambulance as soon as he was stable after surgery, she shouldnāt have hidden his existence by putting off reopening her clinic after the holiday, she shouldāve called the police, she shouldnāt have taken him to her private home, she shouldāve done things as a doctor and instead, sheād done things that a desperate teenage girl with a crush wouldāve done. Sheād opened herself up for this to become what it had and although it was ethically wrong, she was teetering right on the edge of not caring which told her that sheĀ absolutelyneeded to take a step back from this, lest she complicate things further for herself.
āYou canāt, can you?ā he gathered, his voice knowing; the pink on her cheeks spread further across her face, running over her nose and silently answering the question for her.
The white-headed woman wanted to feel ashamed of herself because morally speaking, she shouldāve felt some form of guilt, forming relationships with patients wasnāt the norm and, on some level, she did feel the smallest bit of remorse for crossing lines to some degree. She may not have been the one to initiate that first intimate touch, but she didnāt try to stop it either, sheād reciprocated it which made her just as guilty as him. More than anything, she wanted him to close the distance and kiss her, he was already so close that he could do so with ease, but should that boundary be crossed over, she had no guarantees that it would stop with that. Whatever this was between them had been mutual from the get-go, entirely consensual on both sides, he wanted the same thing as she and the only reason he hadnāt gone there yet was because he was waiting for her to say it, heād pushed her to tell him to stop and she hadnāt. Now, all that was left for him to do was pry the words from her lips and aside from the rough shape he was in, there wouldnāt be anything holding him back.
āW-we shouldnāt.ā she repeated with unease, hinting at just how nervous she felt; his expression didnāt falter, reflecting nothing but confidence as he leaned down closer to her.
āYou already said that, Doctor.ā Haruchiyo pointed out, sounding teasing; she was doing her utmost best to steady her breathes while her fingers curled lightly in his shirt, clinging onto him tighter, his lips were almost brushing hers there was so little space between them. āYou donāt mean it.ā
Heād called her bluff without batting an eye which just proved without a shadow of a doubt that he did see the way she looked at him, but she couldnāt say it aloud, it would only make it more real if she did, meaning it would only hurt more when he left; she didnāt know how sheād managed to get so attached to a total stranger in less than a weekās time. The woman couldnāt manage anything in response, her throat had fully dried up, and her heart doing summersaults over his soft breathes ghosting over her lips, feeling too scatterbrained to do much of anything except hold his intense gaze.
āYou want me to do it for you, huh pretty girl?ā he murmured sensually, his hand slid from the small of her back and wrapped fully around her waist to keep her securely pinned against him.
Her heart straight skipped a beat from his words, her pulse going haywire while she gazed up at him longingly, sheād never felt so overwhelmed by her emotions that she felt lightheaded and that was exactly what heād done to her. The dizzying feeling in her head was only growing stronger the harder she swooned for this man, outside of her friends and her grandmother, no one had ever called her pretty before; she had zero chance to protect herself from heartbreak this far into things, he had her hook line and sinker.
āThatās it, isnāt it?ā the pink-haired male breathed, his voice low; Yuki didnāt realize sheād responded to the question until it was too late to stop herself, a barely audible whimper leaving her lips, silently pleading with him to close the distance. āI will, just give me what I want.ā
āWhat doesā¦?ā
āThatās fair, isnāt it Doctor?ā he pressed, sounding agreeable to compromise; she waited patiently for a follow-up from him that would clear things up, a curious look in her lavender orbs as she attempted to bring herself back down to earth long enough to piece things together. āFour.ā
āā¦fuck no.ā
Whatever spell heād cast on her broke in the instant everything connected, her hand pressing against his shoulder to create distance and the other releasing his shirt, a purse forming on her lips while she attempted to slip from his grasp.
āTwo.ā She retorted, her tone adamant; Haruchiyoās persona swapped out just as quickly as her own did, looking infuriated that she was still refusing to budge even with his attempts to sway her with his damn seduction tactics, narcotics were something she didnāt play around with, and she was not going to let him be careless with them.
āMy tolerance-ā
āIsnāt a factor.ā She repeated, cutting him off before he could argue with her; she didnāt have much of a choice at this point, she had to offer something else to get him to relent and once he realized that she wasnāt playing around about these pills, he wouldnāt bring this up again. āTwo, twenty milligrams every six hours.ā
āDoctor-ā
āMuscle relaxers in between if itās not enough.ā She interrupted, her voice heavily annoyed; his lips pressed into a thin line as he looked down at her, his hand having released her head and grabbed her forearm when sheād begun making attempts to create space, he wasnāt budging about letting her go.Ā
āStubborn man.ā
āFine.ā He huffed, sounding entirely reluctant to agree; she herself let out just as huffy of a breath, her soft face the definition of aggravated, sheād just been thinking minutes previously that heād try to seduce her into getting his way, she shouldāve seen it coming before then.
As gentle as she was, she was heavily considering suffocating the man with a pillow the next time he tried to pull something like this on her even though she wouldnāt make it very far with that, heād combat her in a heartbeat, high or not. She shouldāve known better, and sheād walked right into that one, whatever it was that she felt for him was behind the wheel over half the time and it didnāt help anything that in the rare instances when she was capable of holding composure, he could overpower her with ease if he so wanted to. Her patient wasnāt in the best shape and had still managed to pause her movements, his arm wasnāt budging from her waist, and she couldnāt slip her arm out of his iron grip; there was no doubt that heād have no problem snapping her neck or strangling her to death should he choose to.Ā
āDoctor.ā
āI need to get your pills.ā She muttered in response, keeping her eyes low; she needed to be professional about things, no more caving to his charm or those piercing eyes of his, protect herself from the unavoidable heartbreak that would come from not being guarded.Ā
His hand retreated from her forearm, the other stayed wrapped securely around her waist without showing any signs that he was going to release her, and she shoved at his chest weakly, not managing to make him budge an inch. She just may attempt to suffocate him; he was practically rubbing in her face that she couldnāt fight him off if she tried her hardest and something inside her was dangerously close to snapping.
āI need to get your pills.ā She repeated quietly; she craned her neck back to look up at him as she spoke, trying to remain levelheaded. āIf you want themā¦ā
Yuki froze in place no sooner did she look up to find herself face to face with Haruchiyo, her words trailing off when her lavender pools met his aquamarine ones, his free hand moving back to cradling her head, not giving her time to register anything until itād already happened. Her eyes were blown wide in response and her heart was threatening to leap from her chest, she hadnāt expected him to follow through with kissing her after she hadnāt budged on the number of pills, but he had. Heād closed the distance without giving her a chance to argue with him and pressed his lips to hers without missing a beat, she didnāt know what possessed him to do so nor did she try to come up with answers, sheād gotten her first kiss. Sheād just managed to take a handful of his shirt and mold her lips with his a single time before he pulled out of the kiss, a whine leaving her in protest, her eyes fluttering open. A sly little smirk formed on his lips as he stared down at her, keeping just outside of her reach while she regained her bearings, sliding his fingers through the white.
āYou only get one.ā The pink-haired male spoke; she stared up at him slightly dazed, a dumbfounded look on her face. āYou can have another in six hours, Doctor.ā

I havenāt posted about it in a while but my Tokyo Revengers fic on AO3 has had a few updates since. Chapters 24, 25, and 26 are available for reading!
Link below to The Haitani Princess š
Chapter 24 Excerpt!
āWeāre leaving Aniki, Nii-san.ā
Ran pulled his eyes away from the notepad, his violet orbs finding his sisterās identical pair for a brief moment before flicking to the teenager standing right next to her, his gaze settling on their interlocked hands, a pleasant smile forming on his face at the sight; how strange it was to see this kind of behavior out of his sister that forever showed disinterest in things of this nature.
āAlright little dove, be home around seven if you want dinner.ā He commented, turning his attention back to the in-progress grocery list. āMaking your favorite.ā
āOkay Aniki.ā Reina agreed, her voice cheerful.
āIf anything happens to her Hanemiya, Iāll break your damn leg.ā Rindou threatened, sounding the furthest thing from content; the elder couldāve chuckled at the words, his brother was certainly not pleased over this situation and there wasnāt a doubt in his mind that theyād be discussing it in private no sooner did the pair walk out the door.
āI can take care of my damn self Nii-san.ā The girl scowled, sounding just as irritated; the smile stretched further across his face over her attitude, she was like a perfect mix of the pair of them at times, her short temper was Rindou made over and the usual dull look in her eyes was all him.
Chapter 25 Excerpt!
āDraken!ā
She could see it just as clearly as itād been twelve years prior and trying to shove the memory into the recesses of her mind never worked, sheād tried every time the anniversary closed in, but it was a wasted effort. She may have been desensitized nowadays to blood, dismemberment, having borne witness to the raw torture of countless people, but back then was different. Itād been the very first time that sheād come face to face with death and to make matters worse, itād been one of her dearest friends, one of Tomanās foundersā¦Ryuguji Ken had been one of the strongest and even he hadnāt been able to fight off death.
āMikey! Heās bleeding! Mikey!ā
A wailing shriek left her throat, her fingers knotted in her curls as she proceeded to bash her head off the wall in hopes that it would kill her, the back of her skull colliding against the wall so hard that the sound echoed through the bedroom but it didnāt do a damn thing, she hadnāt even managed to see stars so it truly looked like she was going to have to eat a bullet.
āReina!ā
āDraken! Say something!ā
It was every damn year, August 2nd going into August 3rd was when the memory replayed as a dream and keeping it at bay never worked.
Chapter 26 Excerpt!
āSo hungry.ā Reina whined dramatically, tugging at his shirt childishly; the grin stretched further across his face, he loved it when sheād get clingy with him and sheād been glued to his side all day, it didnāt get any better than this. āKazu, Iām still hungry.ā
āWeāll get more food then, yeah?ā He responded easily, nodding once in affirmation; she beamed brightly at the words, snuggling up against his side.
āStill a damn pushover, always giving into her shit.ā Baji commented, his tone annoyed.
āRei didnāt have breakfast this morning.ā he reasoned with a shrug, slipping his arm around her shoulders to hold her closer. āYou know skipping meals makes her tummy off.ā
āDonāt know how you donāt weigh seven hundred pounds.ā He mused, he was practically asking for a fight with those words; a haughty look formed on her face, her lips pursing in pure annoyance. āAll you do is eat and nap.ā
āMurdering people with my kicks takes energy.ā Reina announced, her voice monotone; he arched an eyebrow, heād been noticing her indifferent tone of voice in the past two days, and it was certainly different than how exuberant sheād always sounded when they were kids. āNot my fault you donāt understand how food is converted into energy.ā
āYou little shit.ā The first division captain snarled, sounding heated; the dull look in her eyes didnāt falter as she stared across the table at him, her expression filled with boredom. āIāll murder you.ā
āIād like to see you try.ā She retorted, her own voice smug; Kazutora rolled his eyes, his arm tightening around her shoulders. āIāll murder you first.ā

Clarity Chapter Five (Bonten Sanzu)
Minors do not interact (18+ fic)
Warnings: Not very many things going on this chapter, we've got profanity, sexual thoughts, manipulation if you squint really hard, unprofessionalism.
Words in blue are text/email
Doctor Ikeda,
I was so very happy to get such a quick response from you and I apologize for not getting back to you sooner, the holiday has put me significantly behind on a number of things, Iām sure youāre going through something similar at your clinic. I canāt express how thankful I am that you agreed to work alongside me for this case, itās quite the tough one and I truly believe that with our combined efforts, we should manage to find some answers and come to conclusions about it by putting our heads together. Iāve attached copies of all the information relevant to the case, some of it is repetitive as theyāre from the various doctors that had a go at it before us. I have pages worth of notes Iāve compiled concerning my thoughts about it and once youāve done the same, I would love to get together with you to discuss them. I know of a wonderful restaurant in Ebisu where we could-
āCould you be any more insufferable?ā the woman muttered to herself, irritation in her voice; she rubbed at her temples, willing the approaching headache to go away, Shimizu had put it in motion with this ridiculous email and she already knew that playing nice with him was going to be a trying time for her.
Yuki wasnāt so sure what she would rather deal with at this point nor which side of him was any less of a pain, his over-the-top fake politeness or his argumentative and demeaning attitude. It was obvious just how hard he was trying to pull the wool over her eyes, but she wasnāt an idiot. Heād only reached out to her because he couldnāt solve this case himself, he didnāt want to admit defeat, so heād rather team up with her and get partial shared credit than none at all; she was sure his family had something to do with it, the Shimizuās had never once given up on a case and he was expected to do whatever it took to keep that record going strong. Regardless of how unbearable being around the man would be, especially considering sheād chosen to do so of her own freewill, sheād have to suck it up because saving a life was far more important than her ego. As great as the money was, she hadnāt become a doctor for a high pay day, watching her grandmother wither away to nothing had been the start of it all. The doctors hadnāt had the answers, they hadnāt been capable of doing anything for her except managing her pain and when she finally passed on after years of torment, the white-headed woman started working on her thesis about that disease; she was going to find the answers one day.
Moving on, she needed to save all those files heād sent over before she replied to his irritating email, make physical copies of them after, and get to work on studying them at her earliest convenience. She already had so much on her plate and more only continued adding to it since sheād gotten herself caught up in too much at once, she didnāt know how she was going to manage. She had this current situation with the shared case, sheād had to push back her visit to the orphanage so now she had to find another day soon this month where sheād be capable of going, she had to make time to continue her research and work on her thesis so she could (hopefully) have it done by the next conference like sheād been trying to do for years, sheād spent the whole of today on phone call after phone call as she rescheduled every single one of her appointments for the rest of the week herself since sheād closed the clinic, so much for a vacation.
āā¦coffee.ā
Not only had that new coffee brewer for the staff room come in right on schedule but sheād ordered one to keep in her office with hopes that it would keep her from being interrupted nearly as often, she felt like sheād made a mistake though seeing as now she was drinking coffee practically the whole day to keep herself awake with how exhausted she was; she was going to wind up with a caffeine high before the end of it all. There was so much that she needed to see to, and she couldnāt give any of those things her entire focus or all of her attention as it were, they may have been priorities but none of them were at the tiptop of the list; that spot was taken.
āDonāt look, youāre being a creep.ā
Yuki bit into her lower lip, rolling it between her teeth with thoughts of why it was best that she did not look for a little while longer, she couldnāt continue on like this and had to find a way to stop the slightly obsessive behavior so she could actually get things done. There was absolutely no reason for her to behave this way, she had to focus on the things that mattered and although her patient certainly did matter more so than anything else going on right now, it wasnāt an excuse to hover around him. He needed to continue resting without her distracting him, the incisions were healing and showing no signs of infection, it was looking like he was almost in a good place where sheād be able to stop the morphine and swap it out for a painkiller in the form of a pill. She had plenty of those in stock and sheād certainly be sending him on his way with a prescription once he was at a place where he could leave, that was the goal after all, to get him healed up so he could go back to his regular life. He wouldnāt be staying at her clinic forever and she had to come to terms with the reality that sheād more than likely never see him again, she had to be okay with it because there was honestly zero reason why she should be antsy about it. Yes, she would naturally worry because she did so towards all her patients but with himā¦
āItās different.ā
As clichĆ© as it sounded, it was different with him, and the young doctor was aware that it made her seem desperate but what else was she supposed to think after heād touched her in what was very obviously meant to be anĀ intimateĀ way? She bit harder into her lip at the memory of his hand brushing strands of white from her eyes, his featherlight touch ghosting along her cheek, his aquamarine pools hadnāt pulled away from her once during that time and her heart was readying itself to give out simply from that alone. The female needed to remind herself that he hadnāt been sober since before she had to perform surgery, morphine was a strong opiate and half the time, people didnāt remember much of anything with how floaty it made their head feel, disrupting their cognitive function and the like. There wasnāt much of a chance that heād remembered doing so considering he hadnāt made attempts to do it again, she couldnāt answer why heād done so to begin with taking into account that heĀ stillĀ hadnāt spoken a word to her, and itād been days since he'd first woken up after the procedure; he was high with how strong that stuff was and she couldnāt take anything he did in that state as being meaningful.
āThereās no reason for this.ā
There wasnāt one, as a medical professional, she was supposed to have been maintaining said professionalism this entire time and instead, she was doing things that were entirely leftfield from her normal, she almost didnāt know who she was. She couldnāt count the number of times sheād gotten lost in her head daydreaming about him when she was supposed to be focusing on her work, sheād embarrassed herself probably well over a hundred times when heād catch her gazing at him and during the moments that heād be staring at her, itād take everything she had not to shift around because of the sticky sin pooling in her panties. As beautiful as he was, that wasnāt an excuse to lose her wits, she was a doctor and sheād already seen her fair share of attractive men, so she shouldāve had no problem keeping herself held together.
āBut they werenāt him.ā
Her lavender orbs flicked away from her laptop at the thought and flittered in the direction of the hospital bed, trying to be as subtle as possible when they locked onto the pink-haired man, the tension in her body melting away at the sight. He was still sleeping, as heād been for a couple hours now since sheād given him that last dose of morphine so she needed to keep her butt parked in this chair until he came to on his own, rest was the most important part, and it was almost as though he could sense her presence during the moments that she approached him when he was asleep. She didnāt need to compulsively check his vitals anymore once an hour as sheād done before, he was entirely stable now and she couldnāt continue to disturb him as sheād wound up doing more than a few times since she couldnāt seem to keep her distance. The internal struggle had only gotten worse since heād touched her and sheād never been intimately touched by a man, heād caressed her cheek as though she was as fragile as glass and would shatter under his touch. Her emotions were in a frenzy during the moment, her pulse racing and heart pounding so hard that it was a wonder that he didnāt hear it, she couldnāt recall what had been going on in her head as sheād practically blanked simply out of how flustered she felt.
The woman couldnāt count the number of times her friends had pestered her about dating over the years since sheād become an adult, even before then when she was a teenager, but they hadnāt been nearly as adamant about it since there werenāt very many teenagers on campus at university. Kaori had been so defensive that most men hadnāt been willing to even attempt to approach her and as much as she still backed her up when Choyo and Akari started on her about it, even she would make comments about how there wasnāt anything wrong with casual dating. Akari was a social butterfly and friends with an abundance of people, sheād made so many attempts to introduce her to someone she felt would be good for her and as much as Yuki appreciated the thought, sheād always been more focused on her career. Choyo was always starting the argument that she didnāt have to be in a serious relationship to date, there was no reason why she shouldnāt go out once a week or so, how nice it was to get to know someone, and her career shouldnāt have impeded on her social life. As right as all her friends were, dating was something she had zero experience in and didnāt know the first thing about, she wouldnāt know what to talk about or what to do; sheād been a frazzled mess when her cheek was touched so how was she supposed to get through a kiss, let alone sex?
Just the thought alone was enough to cause her face to flush and thighs squeeze together, the silent embarrassment of what his intense stare did to her, the way his aquamarine pools would zero in on her and watch every move she made, studying everything about her. She was anxious every time she noticed his unrelenting gaze and trying to ignore the ever-present arousal was a challenge, thoughts swimming with scenarios that sheād gotten lost in a multitude of times. Her pulse would race at the thought of him being close enough that his lips would brush hers, her heart would pound at the idea of his hands slipping under her dress, her face would burn over the imaginings of him between her legsā¦which only continued to get worse the longer she was around herĀ PATIENT!
āStop it!ā
It was too late, her face had to of resembled a tomato from how hot it felt and ignoring the warmth that had settled in her panties was impossible, she didnāt know how she was going to manage to get through the next few days without losing the battle against her raging hormones. There were too many factors at play, outside of the fact that she was a virgin, he was beautiful to the point that her brain quite literally turned to mush just from looking at him for too long, her dream guy didnāt even compare to how gorgeous this man was. Sheād never felt so bashful in all her life and although she was managing to push her shyness off to the side to attend to her duties as a doctor in order to give him the best care, it wasnāt letting up nor fading away as the days went by. It was as though the longer they were around one another, the worse it would get, and it didnāt help anything that when she wasnāt looking at him, she could feel his eyes burning holes through her. At first, sheād been sure it was out of wariness considering heād not only tried to shoot her in the beginning but had almost strangled her to the point of passing out, itād become clear though that heād moved passed feeling distrustful of her.Ā
His stare wasnāt out of keeping his guard up or even curiosity, he was looking at her in the very way that she was looking at him, obviously imagining the same things that she herself was with how his gaze continued raking over every inch of her and because he was on a powerful opiate, she couldnāt take it with anything but a grain of salt. He was impaired, his mind nowhere near where hers was since she was sober and it was doubtful that heād be looking at her the same way once he was off the morphine, even more doubtful was that heād remember the last several days which undoubtedly meant that she needed to pull herself together. She had to get him off the morphine and onto another painkiller that he could take with him when he left her clinic, maybe some muscle relaxers to take as needed, anti-inflammatories for the swelling; her mindset had to be one of a medical professional. Her train of thought hadnāt been anything close to what it shouldāve been, and sheād already internally scolded herself on an infinite loop for the graphic images that continued floating in her head, she had to remind herself that the feelings she was having towards a patient was unacceptable.
What was worse, the woman didnāt know what she would even do if he wasnāt at a solid point by the time Monday rolled around, she couldnāt put off opening the clinic any longer than that because not only did her staff need their hours, her other patients certainly needed her. Her life couldnāt be on pause simply because of one person and she shouldnāt have even considered doing what she had; she shouldāve gotten an ambulance transport as soon as he was stable after surgery, she shouldāve called the police because even if she didnāt tell them about him trying to shoot her, heād been shot, and the authorities wouldāve needed to follow up on that. Sheād made a huge mistake that she couldnāt correct with how much time had passed and getting in contact with the authorities now wouldnāt have done anything except make things a mess forĀ her; her patient had silently made it clear he didnāt want to go to a hospital, and she didnāt want to imagine how infuriated heād be if she made attempts to get him to one. If he wasnāt in a place where he was healed up enough to resume his daily life by Sunday evening at the latest, sheād have to figure something out, no one could know about him or what had happened last Friday, lest things become even more complicated than they already were.
A weary sigh left her in complete frustration with herself as she entered the medication room to grab a dose of morphine, sheād gotten herself into quite the huge mess and it was only getting better by the day; she didnāt know what she was going to do. She hadnāt been home in nine days now, she was sure that her cat was almost out of food and desperately needed his litter changed out, sheād thrown on her last clean dress yesterday, sheād practically cleaned out the cupboards and fridge of the breakroom, and she so badly wanted a shower. The young doctor knew that sheād run herself completely ragged by now since she was at a point ofĀ wantingĀ to be home but there wasnāt anything that she could do about it, she couldnāt leave her patient unattended, even just popping out for an hour wasnāt plausible since she couldnāt trust him on his own. Heād come far already, he hadnāt needed fluids for a while, sheād taken him off the heart rate monitor as well, he still had the IV solely for the morphine injections and that was about to come out no later than tomorrow, all she was really doing now was managing his pain and waiting for the stitches to dissolve, that was still days away though.Ā
āMaybe I couldā¦no, donāt be stupid.ā
Not only was it unprofessional but it most certainly wouldnāt send a good message to him, taking a patient to her house was out of the realm of being socially acceptable, not to mention she didnāt even know his name or a thing about him aside from his blood type. It was the furthest thing from being smart, it was highly unsafe as well, but could she even make that argument considering sheād been alone with a complete stranger since Friday? He hadnāt made a violent move against her since she made her intentions known that she wanted to help him, heād developed some form of trust towards her since he wasnāt trying to deter her from checking his vitals and such, he may have not spoken to her yet but that hadnāt been bothersome to her. This could also be the best move that she could make, if he wasnāt at a place where she felt confident that he could manage on his own, then being tucked away at her house would keep her staff from finding out about him and itād be more comfortable for the both of them; she was sure he wanted a shower just as much as she did and she could cook a real meal for onceā¦or order takeout.Ā
āAm I really doing this?ā
Yuki didnāt know how she could even ask that, especially considering sheād already grabbed a few bottles worth of the medications sheād need for the upcoming days and for her patient to have when he left her, already having doctored all the records so no one would know they were missing from the medication room; there was no backing out and the only way was forward.
āItās just a few days, just like how itās been here.ā
Her hands were entirely full as she reentered her office, it almost sounded like she was starting a Mariachi band where the primary instrument was maracas with how many pill bottles were being shaken with each of her steps, keeping as secure of a hold as she could on the syringe of morphine while she dumped the contents onto her desk with a heavy sigh of relief. Sheād get them tucked away into her purse and after her patient woke up then they could be on their way so long as he was comfortable with doing so, she couldnāt give him this last dose until after they made it, otherwise heād be deadweight and there was zero chance she could move him should that happen. The woman eased her laptop shut before grabbing her purse off the hook, opening it up and tossing one bottle after another into it, the front pocket was the safest place for the opiate. She closed up the main pocket and zipped open the front one, making to tuck the syringe in, pausing her movements when she felt the warm hand pressing against her hip from behind her.
āBreathe, you have to breathe.ā
The white-headed woman warily turned to look back over her shoulder, her heart fluttering no sooner did lavender meet aquamarine, she hadnāt known he was awake upon her return but then again, sheād been so focused getting things packed to keep herself from hovering. She was pleased that he wasnāt struggling to keep himself held upright, heād walked around a little yesterday after sheād pushed him to do so, his expression had been the furthest thing from happy with her since sheād refused to give him morphine until then. As dilated as his pupils still were, the usual impassive expression he directed at her was nonexistent, his lips pressed into a thin line and hinting at displeasure; she noticed he always did so when he was in pain, but it shouldnāt have been wearing off yet. Her lips parted to speak but she didnāt manage a single word when his hand tightened around her hip just enough that he could guide her to turn to face him, warmth building on her cheeks when it registered that she was sandwiched between him and her desk, hardly a foot of space separating them.
āGet it together.ā
She was struggling to remember how to breathe at the light squeeze of his hand, her eyes darting away from his shyly, trying to gather herself enough that she could find the right words. Her heart couldāve given out right there over the light push against her hip that had her lower back bumping the desk and his fingers hooked under her chin, urging her to meet his unrelenting stare.
āBreathe, breathe,Ā breathe.ā
She didnāt know how she was even managing to think with how intense his gaze was this time around, she hadnāt expected whatsoever for him to get so close to her, his face had hovered so close that if she stood up on her toes then itād be just enough that she could-
āNo, stop it!ā
āI-I umā¦w-weāreā¦I meanā¦ā the woman hesitated, trying her utmost best to steady her voice; her mouth felt thick with spit over just how deeply he was studying her, his piercing eyes leaving hers only to drop to her lips.
āBreathe, fuck, shit.ā
āW-weāre going to go-go to my house f-for a few days.ā She stammered, her tone anxious; it seemed that had been the last thing heād expected to hear, his gaze darting back to hers no sooner did she have the words out. āI-I meanā¦it-itās just a precaution, in case y-you need more time. I have to reopen Monday and umā¦I need to feed my cat.ā
āGet it together, come on.ā
āI-is thatā¦okay?ā she continued, her voice filled with worry; she wished she knew what this man was thinking, his expression hadnāt faltered whatsoever aside from swapping back to his usual neutral look and he hadnāt shown a single sign of discomfort, a simple head movement would satisfy her at this point. āI-if youāre not comfortable with that, I-I can always-ā
She sealed her lips when his hand gave her hip a gentle squeeze, the pink on her cheeks darkening a shade and breaking away from his stare was impossible, not only hadnāt he released her chin, but she couldāve sworn he was hovering closer to her; heĀ was. Strands of pink were slipping over his shoulders as he leaned closer to her, almost pressed right up against her and sheād entirely forgotten how to breathe when she felt his warm breath ghost over her lips, she didnāt know how sheād keep herself in line if he got any closer to her. He was breathtakingly beautiful and out of everything sheād admired about him, as nerve-wracking as being under his gaze was, his eyes had to be her favorite thing about him; he looked at her as though he was trying to see straight into the depths of her soul, it was no wonder she blanked practically every time she was on the receiving end of his stare.
āSo pretty.ā
āAre you always so shy, Doctor?ā
Yuki wasnāt sure what was more prevalent in the moment, her heart threatening to give out or the blush overtaking her face as she stared up at him in a combination of dumbfounded and total awe, her eyes as wide as saucers. Heād just spoken to her, after four days, heād finally said something to her and the sound of his voice had done more to her than sheād ever expected, her panties wereĀ soaked. Her face was flushing furiously over the question, this man had the audacity not to speak to her for FOUR days and the first words out of his mouth were meant to tease her, sheād never felt so flustered in all her life. She was reeling in shock from just how unexpected it was, so much so that she was grasping at straws with hopes to figure out what to even say in response and she couldāve swallowed her tongue when his thumb brushed across her lips, his head just barely cocking to the side to observe her from another angle.
āBreathe, you have toĀ breathe!ā
āI-Iā¦ummā¦it-itās justā¦ā she responded, stumbling over her words despite how hard she was trying to pull herself together; sheād certainly made a complete fool of herself and would continue to do so unless she could reel herself in. āY-you havenātā¦ā
This man had to of known the effect he had on her, between the knowing look in his eyes and the small smirk that formed on his lips from her babbling, he was already fully aware of what he did to her, she could almost feel the confidence pouring off him as his aquamarine pools held her lavender ones.
āIām sorry, what was that;Ā Doctor?ā he pressed, his voice the definition of teasing; her face was on fire in embarrassment, her thighs shifting closer together absentmindedly in response. āAm I making you nervous?ā
āN-no.ā she managed timidly; the pink-haired man didnāt look convinced whatsoever, the smirk on his lips widening as he released her chin, placing his hand flat against the wood of the desk and essentially caging her in. āYou-youāre still healing, you shouldnāt-ā
āI canāt feel shit right now, Doctor.ā He interrupted; the woman felt a shiver move through her when his hand slid away from her hip to the curve of her waist, she was positive her panties were ruined from how wet she was, and he was so close that even just a subtle shift in her weight would have him pressed up against her. āIf weāre going, we should now before it wears off.ā
As confused as she felt over just how much composure he had, she didnāt bother questioning it, itād been the same when heād been bleeding out and refusing to ask for assistance, his expression hadnāt faltered then, and it wasnāt faltering now despite that he was still impaired. Although the high wasnāt nearly what it would be had she just given him a fresh dose, his brain was still floaty, and heād been able to express that it was still strong enough in his system that he couldnāt feel any pain. He was right about needing to get going before it wore off, she may be able to get him off the morphine starting tomorrow but heād still need pain medication for the upcoming days, heād been shot twelve times after all. Sheād hoped heād be in a good spot come Monday, figuring heād want to get back to his regular life but now she found herself hoping that itād take a little while longer just so she could get more time with him since heād finally chosen to speak to her; she couldnāt imagine just how antsy sheād feel being at work for ten hours rather than looking after him should that be the case. She nodded in reply rather than the alternative of trying to force out words that she knew sheād struggle with, his aquamarine pools taking her in for a brief moment before he took a step back from her and she somehow managed to resist the urge to whine in protest when his hand left her waist; the upcoming days were going to be a rough time for her.
Had they not been so pressed for time, she certainly wouldāve struggled to keep herself held together numerous times over the course forty minutes, everything from leaving the clinic to the drive to her house wouldāve been a time and a half, and the only thing that saved her was keeping herself in that professional headspace paired with her patient keeping his hands to himself. Every bit of that composure was threatening to shatter no sooner did she lock the door behind them, her lip rolling between her teeth when his gaze found her form for what had to of been the thousandth time since heād woken up Saturday night, she was unsure just what to do now that they were tucked away in her home. Sheād never had a man over before, the last one having ever been in the house was her grandfather and heād passed away when sheād been hardly six, sheād never imagined just how out of place sheād feel in her own home simply from a visitor. She just had to stick with what sheād been thinking about before heād unexpectedly woken up, she could get him settled, take care of everything for her cat before she ordered some takeout for dinner, start some laundry for herself and her guest (her grandmother had never had the heart to throw out anything belonging to her grandfather and she knew for a fact any of it would fit, sheād have to return the clothes sheād found for him at the clinic on Monday), showers for both of them, get him settled into the guest room and she could finally pass out after she gave him that last dose of morphine.
āHave to keep it together for just a little while.ā
The sound of patters was enough to settle her down and pull her out of her head, her gaze pulling from his while she knelt down just enough that she could nuzzle her nose against her sweet boyās; she was sure that her cat was furious over how long sheād been gone, she usually didnāt leave him for longer than five days and itād put her behind on her usual routine with him. He certainly needed brushed, he was constantly shedding, and sheād find black fur quite literally all over her house every day.
āI know, youāre hungry, arenāt you?ā the woman murmured, her voice apologetic; Kuro was undoubtedly upset with her, meowing and much more talkative than usual, nuzzling his head everywhere that he could reach while she turned her attention back to the man. āI um, Iām going to feed him, and Iāll order some takeout for usā¦is that alright?ā
Yuki didnāt know why she was even asking; this was her house to begin with, so she didnāt need to ask for permission to do anything here, she mustāve still just been frazzled over how much had happened today that she hadnāt anticipated and was struggling to ground herself. Pink was streaking over her cheeks all over again as he looked at her in the same way he had been for days, giving her a short nod in reply without saying a word, she hoped they werenāt back to not being on speaking terms but pressing him wasnāt in her best interest; her cat was going to lose his mind if she didnāt feed him right now. She pulled her eyes from his bashfully, ducking her head while she scampered down the hallway towards the kitchen with her sweet boy at her heels, the heavier footsteps filling the silence by the time sheād turned the corner and she exhaled a slow breath, trying to calm her nerves with reminders that everything would be as itād been at the clinic, the only difference being the location. It took less than three minutes for her to refill the automatic feeder, Kuro immediately buried his face in the bowl with enthusiasm while she got fresh water for him, keeping her ears open for the pink-haired man. She could hear his footsteps as he wandered around her house, the morphine seemed to still be managing his pain, so it gave her the chance to get some things done while he explored.
Laundry started, takeout ordered, fresh sheets on the bed in the guest room, her things tucked away in her bedroom along with all those pills and that last dose, sheād have to remove the IV tonight, so she gathered up everything sheād need for that and set it off to the side until later; there wasnāt much else she could do until laundry was finished or dinner arrived. She breathed a deep sigh, turning her phone off and placing it on charge for the night, her fingers pinching open the claw-clip and freeing the rest of her white locks, brushing the shorter strands away from her eyes. She needed a game plan for the upcoming days, to figure out what she was going to do for when she had to go back to work if he wasnāt ready because although she was entirely fine with him staying at her house, she would worry herself half to death since she wouldnāt be able to keep an eye on him for ten hours at a time. If she wasnāt the sole doctor at her clinic then shortening her days wouldnāt be questionable, her nurse practitioners could do quite a bit to help lighten the load on the days she absolutely had to leave early but she tried not to do that often, hiring another doctor on was an option she could consider but she felt it would be suspicious to some degree since sheād taken a āvacationā completely out of the blue.
āThereās nothing I can do that wouldnāt raise questions.ā
There wasnāt and sheād already done so much already that had been the biggest curveball ever thrown at her, doctoring the inventory so no one would know that high class medications had been essentially stolen, sheād performed a surgery without contacting anyone afterwards, sheād cleaned up the evidence of what her staff would see as a break-in, sheād kept a total stranger in her clinic for days, only to take him to her house to hide his existence. Sheād have to go into work Monday early enough that she could hide all the evidence of another person and what sheād done, clean everything out from her office, get everything back in her make-shift hospital room and lock up the door until she had the time to actually put things back the way theyād been beforehand. The young doctor was doing things that sheād never dreamed of and as optimistic as she wanted to be that things would continue on as they had after her patient was on his way, she wasnāt naĆÆve enough to believe that as truth. Things would never go back to how theyād been before Friday unless she wound up with amnesia and had the event completely wiped from her brain, she may not have knownĀ howĀ it was going to affect her life moving forward, but it undoubtedly would.
Regardless, Yuki knew that sheād done the right thing, she wouldnāt have been able to live with herself if she hadnāt, sheād gone into the medical field to save lives and thatās what sheād done. Sheād saved someoneās life and with the precautions sheād taken, no one would know aside from her and her pink-haired patient, she didnāt need nor want recognition for doing what she felt was right. She was worrying herself for nothing, this wouldnāt drastically affect her life in any way shape or form, she was just overanalyzing things. Once they parted ways, itād be like it never happened, sheād go back to what sheād been doing and heād go back to his life, theyād never see each other again, and that was that. The occasional thought about one another was the extent of it, maybe see one another on the street in passing but even that was slim chances with how crowded of a place Tokyo was.
The white-headed woman paused from pulling the last box from the delivery bag when she felt the warm hand press against the curve of her waist, her cheeks flushing as she looked back over her shoulder, lavender meeting aquamarine.
āJust a few days.āĀ
