Property of Kamisato Ayato ( Ayato x Reader)

Ten Minutes Till Hell

Once again your services were asked at ungodly hours of the night, you're almost convinced Ayato gets pregnancy cravings but they're all replaced with boba. You quicky pocket the ticket and pivet to the drink station, this needed to be quick since you had a group coming in less than ten minutes, they're high payers and you certainly didn't want that kind of money to go to waste.

Adding the lid to the drink you quickly slipped out the back door so people wouldn't start panicking that you were gone, you had to be quick for two reasons now.

You were speed walking through the crowd and actually made an effort to go up those damned stairs instead of lazily pulling yourself up them.

Continueing your speed walking the guards cleared their path for you as usual, a little surprised to not see you in your usual cloak but not questioning it since you look like you're in a hurry.

Throwing the doors open, the maids side eyed you as you walked in without looking like you gave a single damn, which you didn't right now. Your brother would scold you for a entire day if you lost such valuable costumers and it wad completely on you this time and not some weird twist of fate.

Entering Ayato's office you both looked at each other for a moment, just quick enough for you to slide the cup to him and turn around, already halfway out the door.

"Y/N" He spoke and you turned your head, "Be a doll and give me a straw. " He held his hand out and waited.

You realized you forgot to grab a straw, "Ayato I can't right now, I have to get back-"

He sucked on his teeth and clicked his tongue, "Surely you could just grab it from the kitchen, it isn't that far for you-"

You turned to face him, "I'm already on thin ice with my brother, I *have to* get back as soon as possible if you don't want to see me with a black eye for the next week. "

He paused at your last sentence, you didn't wait for his resoonse and made your way out of his office, finally getting to the door you were stopped by a maid looking just as pissed as you.

"Ms. Y/N, I get if you're in a hurry but you need to respect the work we do-"

You pushed her and flung the doors open, yelling as you walked, "*It's your god damn job to clean, so do your job!* "

The door shutting made a loud bang and even shook the flooring as you walked, quickly making you way down the stairs you heard Ayato opening the door, you could tell by him frantically apolgizing. One thing about the head of the Kamisato clan was that he definitely knew how defend himself, but was terrible at resolving it.

His voice fadded as you were more cofused on the rucus going on, there were some civilians yelling at the guards until one of them made eye contact with you. He was built well and a bit intimidating, but you didn't have time for this, you could probably outrun if they started running after you.

He stepped forward a bit and scowled, "There's the bartender, the boss was lookin' forward to some drinks but now he's pissed and we're the ones who have to deal with him pissed off. " The four others in his group were getting more pissed as well.

Crossing his arms he stared down at you, "Now we find her here slacking off at this place a mile away from the location. . ." He made a hand signal to another tall man in the group, "What a joke."

And with that a sharp edge formed and cut your cheek, you stumbeled back and were quickly supported from behind. You turned and saw it was Ayato holding you in place, he looked down at you and saw the blood beginning to seep from the cut.

He pulled his sword out and leaned down to whisper in your ear, "I'm sorry, this should've never happened to you. . ." He covered your eyes and turned you around, "Head inside, this is going to get messy. "

Thoma was waiting at the door, holding it open. He rushed you inside and sat you down in the nearest room. "This is deep. . ." He bit his tongue as he cleaned the leaking wound with a soft cloth, dipping it in the water bucket before repeating the process.

A couple if towel dips later and a maid brings in bandges and places them on the cut, layering two on top of each other. Thing were finally calming down until a scream was heard from outside, even leaking into the walls.

Thoma got up and ran to the front door with the maid, a couple of minutes later instead of Thoma and the woman coming in the room, it's Ayato entering the room, his sleeves are covered in crimson blood but his face makes it look like he could care less. Kneeling down to cheek your face he gives you a look of pity, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry they hurt you."

His head lowers to your shoulders and he's silent, it's a peaceful and awkward silence at the same time, the most you can do is rub his back as you both try to comfort each other.

You can feel yourself nodding off as your breathing pattern matches Ayato's. Your head finally falls on Ayato's and it's finally peaceful, countless things happened in the last seven minutes and you're both physically and mentally exhausted.

Footsteps were quickly approaching out of no where, Ayato looked up and you both mentally decided that you just woke up from a nap. He then puhed you back a bit and stood up to wait for whoever was approaching.

It was Thoma, out of breath and with a horrified look on his face.

"A woman heard screaming so she came to investigate, and she ran off yelling that she found a dead body!"

Ayato froze, "I didn't hit him that hard-"

Thoma stood up straight, "Sir we checked. . ." He lifted his hands in front of him, " You killed him. "
