Vinegar Doppio/Diavolo x male reader

Was it worth it?

Y/N woke up with the worst headache, but he didn't want to stay home. He followed his usual routine and headed to work.

As he opened the shop, attending customers he put on the customer service attitude putting on a bright smile, and polite manner. "Have a good day!" Y/N said after attending each customer.

Solido also attended work with much enthusiasm, to distract himself.

The days went by both not forgetting about their situation. They were both hurt but worked helped keep their mind occupied.

Solido was starting to feel stuck. As much as he didn't want to he would have to talk to Y/N to move on. They were never dating, but their friendship was far from a normal one.

Y/N had worked overtime till the late evening. "Y/N, why don't you start heading home its gonna start getting late." His manager offered. "It's fine. I'll help you lock up." Y/N said as enthusiastic as he had done all week.

"Oh what I would do to be as energetic as you to work." His manager said ruffling their hair. Just fake it till you make it. Y/N thought to himself smiling.

They closed up both going home. His manager had a car since they were older and lived further away.

"Have a good night Y/N. Be here on time tomorrow." His manager said getting into their car, driving away.

Y/N walked home carrying his backpack with his hands in his pockets.

Solido had gotten off from work and walked to Y/N's house. He knocked and Estella answered it. "Hello, Solido. If your looking for Y/N I'm guessing he's still at work, you can go see if he is almost done with his shift." Estella said smiling at him.

"Thank you, it was nice seeing you again. Good bye." Solido went to Y/N's job. Living close to each other was making this harder on both of them.

Y/N was walking home until all of a sudden he was dragged into an alleyway. "Hey, what the hell!" Y/N said mad and disgusted that someone had touched him.

Its three guys, Y/N analyzed everything. Two guys holding his arms so he doesn't resist, ones pretty strong but stupid does know how to hold him. The other one has a strong grip but is smaller then the other one.

They have on basic clothes, they probably hold a grudge against me. What the hell did I do. Another guy, making it three people against me. I'm pretty sure that's their leader. He's dressed slightly nicer, and look more stern, strong, and most likely smarter than both of his men.

Y/N stopped struggling since he wanted to conserve as much strength as possible, for when he really needed it. "So your the kid that's always with that pink haired punk." The leader said with a toothy grin.

"Yea, what do you want?" Y/N wasn't one for confrontation or big guy act but he had to pretend to save himself and maybe even Solido. "Nothing much, its just that kid was an easy target and your preventing me and my buddies here from easy money."

Y/N didn't want to deal with this, but if he let it go Solido would be in trouble. "Well, what do you want me to about it." Y/N said sternly. He got angry and stomped towards Y/N. He got scared but didn't flinch. "Back off." He said.

They would hurt Solido, Y/N knew what would happen to him and he was scared shitless but he had to do it.

"Now why would I do that?" He said with a cocky smile. The leader giggled before swinging to hit Y/N. He groaned and squirmed. Fuck this hurts! Y/N still felt his knuckles on his face. "Now back off or else."

Y/N felt dizzy from the pain but couldn't stop. "Or else what" Y/N couldn't even speak properly he was looking down trying to ease the pain.

Without warning he hit him again. Kicked him in the stomach, punched him in the same spot he kicked him. After a couple more hits Y/N went limp wanting to pass out.

"Pathetic little vermin." They walked past him out of the alleyway. He laid there thinking. Was protecting Solido really worth and did he really do anything. He gathered whatever strength he had and started limping home.

Solido was walking to his job. He usually gets off work earlier than this. Solido thought walking towards a silhouette of a man limping. As he got closer...it was Y/N.
