Broken Love FanFic

The Cafe

After her near-death experience about a month ago, May could not get Zyggy out of her mind. How was he doing? Did they just go home after leaving her that night? She could not figure out why she had grown close to them so fast. Did she have one of those complexes because he saved her? No, she was pretty sure that was not the case. Was it Mayumi? No, that was not right either Mayumi stayed quiet unless she became overwhelmed or started to have a panic attack. Shaking her head, May moved around the cafe setting up the tables for the lunch rush. "Get a grip May, it has been a month. They probably don't even remember you," she told herself. On the bright side, she was able to find a new place to live, one with security measures in place. Even though Joe popped up last week and did some damage, she could escape thanks to Mayumi. The only thing she was dealing with was the healing. She had a massive bruise on her left side and her abdomen. Finished with her section of tables, May stepped outside for fresh air before the Cafe opened. Walking out of the Cafe, she bumped into someone she always walked with her head down. Flinching, she slowly looked up, seeing black boots, pants, and a jacket covered in pins she knew who she bumped into, causing her heart to start beating rapidly in her chest. "I'm sorry, Zyggy," May said, seeing his hands in the air like he was the one who ran into her. Zyggy was surprised to have May bump into him. He was going to go get snacks and wanted to walk past the cafe to see if she was doing okay. Even though a month passed, he nor DZ could gorget her. She was just embedded into their minds. Relaxing to see May, Zyggy lowered his arms. Taking some time, he finally noticed the outfit she was wearing. It was a black and white above the knee dress. The skirt part was ruffled, causing it to flair out. She looked super cute, which seemed to get Dz to growl. Realizing he had stayed quiet for too long, he gave her a smile. "It's okay. I was not really paying attention," Zyggy said, putting his hands in his pockets. May was more stunned with herself than Zyggy. She was happy to see him to the point she wanted to hug him. Mayumi had other thoughts, and they were not nearly as clean and innocent. Trying to come up with something wholesome to say and block out Mayumi's dirty thoughts was not easy. "Zyggy, if you like, I can get you some sweet snacks from here," May said, her nervousness of being turned down for the offer and invention was high. "Are you sure?" Zyggy didn't want to get her into trouble. She was at work, after all. May lowered her head to avoid looking him in the eyes when she spoke. "I'm sure, take it as my thank you for last month," she said softly. Zyggy could feel the kindness and even see the anxiety. She was afraid to even suggest him join her or stick around. Not wanting to leave her wondering, he smiled and answered, " I would love to try some of the snack or sweets from here," he said, watching her raise her head. May let out a sigh of relief, smiling. She led Zyggy into the cafe and got him seated. The anxious look on his face due to the number of people staring at them was evident. Handing him a menu, she left him to switch out with Dz. Coming back over to his table, Zyggy was gone, and Dz was present. "What can I get you, DZ," May asked softly. Dz had to remind himself he was looking at the timid version of herself and not her stronger self. "Tea is fine," he answered, seeing it on the menu. " One tea coming right up," May said, walking away. Dz looked around the cafe. It had a cozy feeling to it. However, the number of male customers was something to be said. All of the waitresses were dressed in short dresses that if they bent over, you would see their ass. Crossing his arms, he watched a male customer reach out for May as she passed by him. Her reaction to the gesture resulted in Mayumi coming out and hitting the guy. Getting up from his table, he moved over to Mayumi. Not really thinking about his actions, he grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards the restrooms. "Dz, why did you stop me," Mayumi said, stunned by his actions. Dz backed Mayumi up until she was damn near touching the wall. Crossing his arms, he stared at her "you're going to cause problems for May if you strike that man again," he answered. Mayumi crossed her arms, mimicking Dz "it would serve him right for grabbing my ass. We did not give him consent to touch," she said, making eye contact with Dz. Dz found he was lost for words. It was true. Consent was never given, nor was it hinted at the man just reached out and grabbed. Tapping his fingers on his arm, he watched her turn sideways, raising one eyebrow, confused as to what she was about to do. "What are you doing" he questioned. Mayumi turned until her butt was facing him, and she was looking over her shoulder at him. "Just because my skirt is short does not mean touch. I hate this outfit, and so does May. If a move just right, you can see up my skirt," she said, wiggling her butt to make an example. Dz had to bite his lip to prevent himself from making a comment that might get him into trouble. She was teasing him without even realizing it. Taking a deep breath just to clear his head of the dirty thoughts that came to mind. He backed away from her a few steps. " You should not do that," Dz warned. Mayumi looked at him properly. "Do what? Oh, you meant this," she said, wiggling her butt again. "I was only showing an example. I mean, bending over is worse," she said with a smirk. Dz made a low growl. " Mayumi, don't tease me," he said, moving closer to her, so she backed up against the wall locking eyes with him. Mayumi raised one eyebrow "and what are you going to do, Dz? Just so you know, I am opening a door for you," she said. Dz uncrossed his arms and pulled her into the bathroom. She was testing him. "I can show you what I could do, but I rather not scare May," he said. Mayumi shifted on her feet. He pulled her into the bathroom. At least they were not out in the open at the moment. Should she say what was off-limits? No, that was asking for other doors to open. What did she want or expect when she asked what he would do? Her other half was scared and had been abused. Rough play would be bad for May, but that is why she and Zyggy matched so well. They were both soft and needed a far more gentle hand. Making eye contact once more with Dz, she put her hands behind her back. " Since May has been through abuse, nothing that leaves marks like that. Even if I am in control and can block out her pain, it would still show up on her body. We already support a bruise from a week ago, and it takes a long time to heal." Mayumi said. Hearing May had been abused again caused Dzs more protective instincts to kick in. "what, bruise?" Mayumi looked at the mirror in the bathroom. "Left side abdomen area, I sport a nice sized bruise. So pain is a no-go for us. All it would do is cause fear and not the kind you would enjoy," she answered. Dz was getting the idea that she was trying to say what kind of activities would be okay while telling him their limits. Why was she willing to trust him? Mayumi did seem to notice that May was best suited for Zyggy while she was best for him. Kindness or understanding? "What are you getting at? Are you trying to negotiate something with me?" he needed to know in a more straightforward way that she was going over hard limits and giving him consent. Mayumi moved from the mirror to in front of Dz. " I am not good at explaining. I am giving you permission to touch me Dz, just don't hurt us. Bitting might be okay thought but no other pain," she said. Dz reached out for Mayumi running his fingers down along her arms. The last time he had touched her was when he was carrying her. The feeling of her warm, soft skin was lovely. Being gentle, he moved his hand from her arm to her neck. Moving his hand to the back of her head, he moved her close to him. "Your safe word is cafe or drop your keys. This will stop all further play," he said, seeing her keys on her hip. "I need to know you understand this before I do anything further than this," he said. Mayumi could not break eye contact with him even after he stopped talking " I understand. Safeword is cafe that or a drop my keys," she repeated. Why would cafe be his first thought for a safe word? The next thing to come from his mouth had her stunned. "Good girl, now I want you both to take care of yourself, let that bruise heal," Dz said, growling softly. Even though she gave permission, he needed her to heal before they could do any play. If the bruise was terrible, then she would be in pain. Mayumi nodded her head in response slowly. She switched from Mayumi to May, causing him to release her from his hold. Unlike Mayumi, he needed to be softer with May when she was present. May lowered her head. The shy, almost babygirl energy really did affect Dz in a far different way than Mayumi's more bratty and chaotic energy. Stepping away from Dz, May spoke. "I must get back to my shift. If you wish to come by my place, I get off work in about two hours," she said. Dz could feel the excited energy from Zyggy. He wanted to spend more time with May and see where she lived. "Alright, Zyggy will meet you after your shift is done," he said, letting her exit the bathroom before him. Stepping out of the bathroom, he almost expected to get strange looks, but no one was in or near the hallway. Leaving May to her work, he left the cafe before he hurt someone for touching someone he wanted to claim.
