The Bounty Hunter(Spike Spiegel x reader)

Cashing out

        You held back an eye-roll at the various comments the guards made as you stood there. They were just as crude as you'd expected and it only made you even more unenthusiastic to deal with them. But you swallowed your pride, reminding yourself of just how much woolong this was going to get you.

"Would you be able to tell me where somebody could find a decent drink around here?"

There was a quick deliberation between the two guards before they both looked back at you. Each had an expression that you assumed was their attempt at charming but it came off more hungry if anything. You were honestly creeped out as they approached you and you almost reached for your gun before one of them spoke up.

"There's a place around the corner," the one that said this had short black hair and was by far the creepier of the two.

"We could take you if you like," Apparently they spoke in turns because this time the one with shaggy red hair spoke up.

You swallowed your pride and continued to talk in your honeyed tone. "Sure! Let's go grab a drink. lead the way."

You stood between the two men as they escorted you to the bar. You were surprised when they actually took you to a bar. You'd half expected them to just stop in some alleyway and try to take your woolong. But then you would've had to fight and as much as you knew you could defeat these two you weren't keen on the bruises it would give you.

The Bar they took you to was the sleaziest place you'd been in in a while. None the less you took a seat at the bar between the two men. They proceeded to order you drink after drink which you didn't drink but you pretended to drink and the med both got drunk enough not to notice.

They also both got drunk enough that the filter between their thoughts and their mouths disappeared. They said whatever they thought of and that lead to about a thousand more crude comments than you ever could've wanted. It became increasingly uncomfortable as time when on and eventually you couldn't deal with it anymore.

You excused yourself quickly to go to the bathroom and luckily none of them followed you. When you got to the bathroom you immediately called Jet. "Hey, have I thoroughly distracted the guards yet?"

"Yeah, Spike just got finished,"

"Thanks for letting me know, I'll see you soon." You said with the subtlest amount of sarcasm in your voice.

You hung up and started looking for a way out of the bathroom. Luckily there was a window that you were pretty sure you could wriggle your way out of if you tried hard enough. And sure enough, after you removed the glass you managed to escape to the alley behind the bar.

It didn't take long for you to find your way back to where you'd left your ship. Spike's ship was no longer next to yours so you didn't bother waiting and just jumped into your ship. Returning to the Bebop as quickly as possible.

As you docked your ship you saw that Faye's ship was also there. You groaned as you slowly put it all together. It seems like the cycle would never end but at least there was a new batch of clothes to dig through. Even though it annoyed you to no end that Faye would just up and leave with all your money it did give you the occasional wardrobe piece.

With the added bonus of your closer relationship with Spike, you were sure he wouldn't mind you taking any of the clothes for yourself. It's not like he was going to wear any of it. As much as you'd love to see it, you'd yet to see him borrowing from Faye's wardrobe so that was a wish you knew would go unfulfilled.

You walked into the main area and unsurprisingly you found about five of the men who had that lovely bounty on their head, along with Faye. Faye looked over to you as you walked in and looked disappointed that you weren't someone else.
