Afterdark (Aoi x Male Reader)

Raid Part 1

"No."

(YN) stood in front of the door with arms crossed and the biggest frown he ever made.

"But, look at him, he's cold, dirty and hungry."

Aoi tried to get the white white cat closer.

"That's exactly why, he's cold, DIRTY and is a stray." He refused again. He will not yield this time.

She would need to use not so ethical tactics. Perks of knowing his strong and weak points, she can pinpoint exactly were to strike.

"Oh, I see, it can't be helped, he will have to go back to the streets, all alone in the rain while meowing for food and shelter, what a wicked fate for this lonely furry child." She even held the cat up high.

"Hold your horses, Shakespeare." (YN) covered his face with one hand, mumbling curses, he step aside "You have to take care of the furball. Go wash it like right now."

And in the middle of the night, her smile and deep sea blue eyes gleamed like stars in the middle of the night. He even felt his heart throbbing at that, it was the right decision.

"You see, Kohaku, I told you we can convince him. He'sweak against my charms." Aoi puffed her chest out.

"Oh? So you already gave her a name?" A vein popped out of his forehead "And what was that about the charms?"

"Uh... you must have misheard." And she flee to the bathroom to start preparing the bath for the new roommate.

"I wonder if I'm spoiling her too much..."

Before closing the door, he spotted it. Just a fraction of second was enough to see a glint coming from the gloom of one of the neighboring doors, just a small peeking space was open. As soon as he detected it, the door closed.

A thousand questions began to arise inside him. Fears and doubts, thos never happened before, until now there was just three people living in this floor, the old grandma in the first apartment door, the Neet at the end of the hallway and him, who took one of the middle rooms. No notice came about a new neighbor nor he saw anyone going out of that place.

Call it paranoia, sixth sense or detective intuition, but something feels off.

He took a last glance at the apartment and then closed the door, put the lock on it and double checked his gun that rests in the holster.

"(YN)? Can you help me?" His girlfriend called from the bathroom.

"If it's about the cat, I can't."

He heard her pout, the mental image of her balloon-like cheeks was already engraved in his mind. Such a cute face.

How he loved to tease her. At the end (YN) helped with Kohaku's bath. That night they had an intruder in their bed, the little neko is attached to him for some reason, she slept right besides him and even stroke Aoi with her paw everytime she tried to hug him.

Even so, the man could not sleep at all. The image of that squinted door and the observant gaze hiding in the shadows. That was the first time since Aoi showed up that he slept with his gun in the nightstand, only one move away.

That night, the bad feeling didn't fade.

He woke up even before than the girl and the cat, not even the sun began his rising. Turning in the shower he let the water wash away all his problems with the soothing pour of the liquid.

The breakfast took no time since he didn't want to pour much energy into it, taking eggs, beacon and toasted bread would be enough. A white cat strolled out of the room as soon as the delicious aroma of the crispy pork meat began to sizzle in the pan.
