-21- Birdbrain

5 years and 8 months later:

"Get! Up! Y/n!" I heard while being aggressively smacked with a pillow. I picked my head up and blinked to adjust my eyesight. The room was well lit by a wall of windows and smelled like a sweet vanilla candle.

"Yeah yeah I'm up, cut it out Ke!" I snapped back at my friend, who was standing over me with his big red wings and only had his yellow glasses on.

"You look fucking ridic-".... Dick!

I looked down and noticed his naked bottom half and nearly shrieked. "OH MY GOD KEIGO! PUT SOME FUCKING PANTS ON!!" I viciously turn around and bury my head into the mattress, trying to erase the image from my mind.

"Oh come on babe... that's not how you felt about it last night." He teased.

"Oh shut up. Gimme my clothes." I point to the pile of dirty clothes on the floor. He picks it up and holds it above my head, taunting me.

"I'm not doing this. Give!" I snap at the blonde. He sighs and lowers his hands, allowing me to retrieve my belongings.

"You slept in. We got a shit ton of work today so meet me downstairs." He slips on some gray sweatpants, skips the shirt and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Fuck. Why did I agree to have sex with him.... Again... damnit. I've got to stay away from alcohol, I obviously can't control myself when I'm drunk.

Keigo and I have been working together for the past four and a half years as mercenaries. The commission promised to keep my arrangements with them under wraps and in return, I would hunt down bad people and kill them.

It felt like my childhood all over again... killing for money. Only this time, I feel the guilt I once didn't feel as a child.

I got dressed in my black jeans and.... Bra? Where's my bra? Damnit Keigo! Stop hiding my fucking bras!!

I looked over to the broken bed frame and pulled up sheets and I noticed my gray bra strap under the pillows. I yanked it out from under them and snapped it on. I grabbed a black tank top from my duffel bag and slipped it on as well.

Once I put my boots on, I laced them and made my way downstairs. Keigo and I are currently staying at a very, very nice Condo on the eastern shore of Japan. I called dibs on the room with all the windows and he got stuck with the... other room with windows. It was a pretty big place and since no one has been able to track us down... we'd be staying here for a while.

I saw Keigo leaned forward in the kitchen chair, hovering over the loads and loads of paper articles laid out across the table. "I don't know why you bother looking at those... it didn't get us anywhere last night." I said to him, pulling up a bar stool.

"Yeah, well maybe that's because someone got a little too stressed and started drinking."

I rolled my eyes at his remark. I know Keigo. No need to rub it in. I thought to myself.

We looked over the loads of papers for nearly two hours before realizing a new clue. "Wait wait... look here..." he tells me, pointing at a street sign barely visible in the corner of a photograph. "....Locke."

I looked hard at the photograph. "Alright. That's good....right? That's only forty five minutes from here." I tell the blonde a little too chipper. He pulls off his golden glasses and runs his face. "Mmm yep. I just don't feel like flying right now... I'm hungover as a bitch." He tells me and I pat his head.

"It's cool... I'll go scope it out."

"Woah! Hey don't be stupid." I tells me placing a hand on my thigh. This makes me laugh and I slap his hand away. "Relax birdbrain... I'm just going to look. I won't engage, promise. Plus the big boss would probably kill me if I did." And with those words I threw on my black cloak and walked out the door.
