Love's the only rule (Ojiro Otori x SMR)

Chapter five: The seeds of doubts

-I got fucked over. - said Y/n, looking through the contents of the pallet with the shrimp crisps.

-Unbelievable. - Yume mocked him playfully.

-They promised me wasabi taste crisps, but not a single package has been put in here. - Y/n complained as he kept going through the different packages of his favorite snack. He was so focused on it, he didn't hear his assistant walking up to him.

-Sir. - he said, getting both L/ns' attention. - There's someone, who wants to see you. - he looked shaken up.

-Bring them in my office, I will join them soon. - Y/n answered in an uninterested tone.

-We both know you will make the guest wait. - pointed Yume. - Go and see them.

-I don't wanna. - whined Y/n.

-It's Ojiro Otori. - said the assistant.

-On my way. - Y/n immediately changed his mind and basically ran to his office.

Few minutes later Y/n was seated in his office, waiting for Otori to be led in there. Y/n didn't expect him to show up silently like this. He thought Ojiro will want to play XB again. Yet here he was.

The door opened and his assistant walked in the room with Ojiro himself. Y/n stood up and greeted him, then he asked him to take a seat. He told his assistant to leave. Y/n wanted Ojiro to speak freely about what brought him to him.

-How can I help you? - he asked.

-Surrender. - said Ojiro.

-Not an option. - answered Y/n.

-I expected you to say that. - sighed Ojiro. - I want to know why are you so sure my father would turn his back on me.

-Because you're a tool for him. - Y/n answered immediately. - I've been in that predicament before. When you played against Minato, I could easily kill both you and Kamiya, taking over both of your territories. But then I saw you, I asked here and there, and I know that you and I went through similar things. - he explained. - And I want you to know, that when it happens, you have a place to go. Because I'm sure it will happen if only you lose.

-I never lose. - Ojiro narrowed his eyes. - The recent news are that your dear Kamiya is dead.

-I know. - nodded Y/n. - And you haven't lost indeed. Yet. I'm offering you a back door.

-I can either be your tool or my father's. - said Ojiro.

-Or you can live your own life and I will support you with everything I have. - offered Y/n. - The choice would be yours. If you decide to stay with me, you will be treated as family, if you leave, you will be treated as a friend.

-Why do you care so much for such insignificant things? - asked Ojiro.

-Can you be more specific? - Y/n didn't understand the question fully.

-Why do you care of helping me so much? I don't need that. - Otori explained.

-Yet you're here. - smirked Y/n. -Which means you see the signs already. To answer your question, I have learn that friendship and love are the strongest things in the world, at least in mine.

-I'm not your friend. Nor your love. -Ojiro crossed his arms on his chest.

Y/n had to clear his throat.

-You're not. - he nodded. - But you always can be. - he said and handed Ojiro his number. - Call me anytime you need. Whether you will be in trouble, or just need to talk.

-It won't be useful to me. - argued Ojiro.

-That's okay, you can even throw it away right after this meeting ends. - insisted Y/n. - Just take it. After all you came here for a reason.

Ojiro sighed and put the piece of paper with Y/n's number in his pocket. Y/n smiled at this small victory. Y/n didn't try to push Ojiro into talking. Soon Ojiro had to go back to his duties, so he stood up.

Y/n copied his moves and walked him to his car. He watched as Ojiro left Y/n's property.

-What were you talking about? - asked Yume.

-Many stuff. - answered Y/n. - He has doubts about his father's loyalty. Which is good. - he added. - Now I have one thing to take care of.

-Which is? - Yume raised his eyebrow.

-Getting my wasabi shrimp crisps. - Y/n said lowly and took his phone out.
