Beneath the Moon (Thatch x reader)

Disappearance

Having finally cleared your head after your talk with Raisin, Pudding, and Flampe you finally climbed back onto your motorcycle and headed back to your apartment. Walking into the building you stalled as you went to head up the stairs, eventually you turned back around and knocked on Katakuri's door. You heard some shuffling inside before the opened and he looked down at your figure.

"Can I help you, y/n? Is everything alright?"

You were about to ask something but eventually shook your head and smiled at the man, "Never mind, it's nothing. Have a good night Katakuri!"

He stared at you for a few minutes and watched as you began to climb the stairs, before you got to the corner though he said, "This won't solve your problems, y/n."

You turned back and smiled, "You always know what everyone is going to be up to." A small chuckle passed between your lips, "Don't worry I just need a few days. If anyone comes asking you just..."

"I haven't seen you I got it. You know..."

"Yep, there will be a lot of traffic through here for a while, my apologies and I'm also sorry that they will disturb you."

"You're sure this is really what you want to do?" As you nodded, he sighed and crossed his arms across his chest before leaning against the door frame, "If you need something don't hesitate to contact me, we are family after all..."

You frowned as you turned your attention to the floor, "I appreciate the thought, but we aren't family, and you know that..."

"You are dating my brother which makes you family y/n."

You could feel the tears begin to form in your eyes, you looked up past the blurred vision and smiled at him, "I appreciate hearing that, but I already know what Mama has planned for Cracker and what Mama decides is what is going to happen. Plus he seems okay with it. Did you know even though both Raisin and you said that Mama gave everyone day off Cracker still insists that he had to work and that it was busy?"

Katakuri looked at you in confusion before motioning for you to come down to talk to him, eventually you gave in to the stern look he was giving you and made your way into his apartment. The two of you sat in his living room in silence for a while, "What are you talking about, what decision did Mama make? I haven't heard anything about a decision involving Cracker..."

Interrupting you blurted out, "Mama has arranged a marriage for Cracker with someone from Kaido's "family"."

"Are you sure, I really haven't heard anything about this and..."

"Kata...I trust who I heard this from, they have no reason to lie to me about it especially because it puts them at risk just for letting me know."

You could see his eyebrows furrow as he sighed once again, "Are you sure that maybe they misheard Cracker's name? Cracker and you have been together for so long now I find it hard to believe that Mama wouldn't agree to let you marry him."

"Listen, I get it I thought that was going to be the case as well but if we are being honest it make sense with his strange behavior lately. I get that I'm not everyone's cup of tea after all I'm just as loud and rash as my baby brother is sometimes, as well as I'm sure Mama knows full well that she won't be able to control me like she does the rest of the spouses because that just isn't how I roll."

"All the siblings love you though and the most important part would be the kids the two of you would eventually..."

You found yourself frowning even more than before, "Cracker never told any of you, did he?" Katakuri looked at you with a look of confusion telling you that your assumption was correct, "That is exactly why Mama would rather him marry someone else. I can't have children Kata, I told Cracker that at the start of our relationship, so he has known all this time. Due to an...incident when I was a kid, I won't ever be able to have children of my own."
