strangled

²⁷truthood of the butterfly effect

Shouto's eyes had dulled quickly after he realized.

Realized what had happened before him and his father walked in. Realized what could have happen if him and his father hadn't walked in. He's staring at you with emotionless eyes.

Everything in his body feels numb, senseless. The man wasn't expecting to walk into his house just to see his wife underneath his brother. If he had known this would happen, maybe he would have also known what to do in response. There are so many ways he can react in this moment but he can't feel enough emotion in him to pick. Who should he be mad at? His wife for cheating on him, or his brother for betraying him? At this point, he can't tell.

Enji, on the other hand, is fuming mad.

He thinks that he has every right to be upset. Any normal father would be mad at a woman that cheats on his son. Truthfully, he is more upset about the fact that Natsuo knows how much he wanted you to marry and stay loyal to Shouto. He did multiple things, that he regrets till this day, just to ensure a relationship between you and his youngest son. Now all of the hard work nearly gets thrown away because his middle son somehow began to lust for you. What if Natsuo had decided to have sex with you and you got pregnant? All Enji's years of planning would be gone.

How long has Natsuo wanted you? It couldn't have started just today.

Enji's body heats up in anger.

The goal he had to become a better person gets thrown out of the window as he stomps closer to the sofa.

Natsuo is the first to speak, holding your body tight against his in fear of what his father or brother might do. "Relax you two. We didn't do anyth--"

Enji yanks you off of the couch by your hair, tugging you out of Natsuo's arms to slam your body on the floor. You let out a noise of surprise when your back hits the hard ground. Thrashing around, you try your hardest to free your hair from his grasp but he's holding tight onto your roots. A striking pain rips through your scalp.

"I shouldn't be shocked that you're such a whore!" He shouts and kicks your body against a wall.

You grit your teeth to suppress a noise from the pain.

Shouto finally starts to feel rage seeping into his veins. However, the emotion is not because of you.

"You're going to do this now old man? Your wife is home! Don't you give a damn about the fact that you beating (f/n) up might be one of her triggers!?"

Enji growls at you, his hand roughly grabbing your chin and ramming the back of your head onto the concrete wall. His fury is getting to his head, causing him to not hear what Shouto had said. The noises of his other son yelling also getting drowned out.

"You are such a whore! You tried to have sex with your husbands brother! Sluts deserve to be treated like sluts!"

You scream as Enji tears your bandages off of your arm, revealing the scarred skin. Fire is sent at your injury making your voice raise in a way that hurts your throat. Because of the position you are in, you can create a weapon but you won't be able to attack him. He's keeping your arms locked in place behind your back with his hand. Theres no way you can stop the utter pain, burning and overwhelming. Eyes searching around for Natsuo, you see him being held back by Shouto. He tries to get out of his brothers hold to save you but Shouto is much stronger than him.

A heavy hand smacks your face. Your head turns to the side from the impact, neck horridly cracking.

If Enji had hit you only a bit harder you are sure your neck would have broken.
