Unbound

A prince's descent

"Not even a man with your stature can stay sober." Akira mocked him as he walked in between the roads with Yuki on his back. "Oh please, it was only a few drinks. Stop being dramatic." Yuki said drunkily, in a slow and deep tone. The two eventually get home as they both get more impatient by the second, both for different reasons though, and it had gotten even worse as citizens passing by were left amused and weirded out over the sight that they were witnessing. Akira had felt a sense of relief on a whole other level as he approached his front door, until he realized he had forgotten his house keys back at the pub. What made matters worse was his lack of trust for Yuki, which was less considering he wasn't sober, so the two had to return the same way they had arrived. Eventually, after a couple of minutes, they finally finish their trip and enter Akira's house. Akira had gotten tired, leading him to resort to dragging Yuki's slugish body across the floor. Akira drags him into the bathroom and starts to undress, though he had felt uncomfortable since Yuki was there, but he had no other choice and wanted the day to end in peace. " Lend a hand, will you?" Yuki joked, followed up by his iconic laugh. Akira looks at him in disgust and decides to ignore him, continuing with cleaning up and ignoring Yuki's comments on his scars.

Akira had decided it was enough, and he fed into Yuki's words. He heads over to the bathtub to let the water run, and gets towels ready for the both of them. The bathtub eventually filled up, and luckily for them, Akira had left the heater on for a while. He helps Yuki with his attire, and he picks him up and places him in the lukewarm water. Akira sits on the closed toilet seat and isn't comfortable doing so, but has no other choice since he had to observe Yuki. Yuki, on the other hand, is trying to fight off being sleepy. But the water's temperature had only caused him to relieve more stress. "Why would you help me?" Yuki questions him as he brings his legs in and sits in the tub. Though he gets no answer as Akira ignores him, only giving him a few moments of eye contact, which was enough to show Yuki that it wasn't the best time to ask. Akira gets up, places his glasses on the sink top, and heads into his room. The silence has filled up the house once again. Leaving Yuki pleased with a rare break,

Meanwhile, in the agency.

"Haven't you tried contacting him?! Just when we get closer to our goal, this unprofessional brat decides to disappear somewhere in some local area. I cannot tolerate his behavior any longer. If I don't see him in the office by tomorrow morning, it's over for him." Executive Randy said in a raspy, loud voice. letting it be known that he had all the control, and at the end, he was left with a smile as wide as his face. He picks up the phone once again, but this time calls an unknown contact. "Mission overthrow has begun. I await other orders, sir." Randy whispered at last, with an accomplished laugh, lighting his cigar and laying back, feeling as proud as ever. Unluckily for him, Diana had been overhearing his conversations, even recording them at some point. Being prepared was the least of his worries as it was the simplest task.

Diana, a 24-year-old woman of French descent, was and continues to be an intern at Yuki's agency.Though at first, their chemistry couldn't have been weaker, she envied his status and charisma and hated the way he worked. That was until it was New Year's Day in 2011, when she was on her way back home after a long day of work and paperwork. She was too tired to pay attention to the road.Unfortunately for her, she dozed off too much and pulled the steering wheel too hard, causing her to crash into the woods near the road. Luckily for her, Yuki had been unknowingly escorting her home in the car behind her. He sees her crash and immediately exits the car and runs towards her. Fortunately, she had only suffered minor injuries like bruises and cuts. Yuki grabs her and carries her all the way back to his car and rushes her directly to a nearby hospital. Diana has only remembered leaving the office and nothing to do with the crash, and she wakes up overhearing the doctor's discussions. As she looks at the glass panel past him, she finds Yuki asleep on the hospital chairs. Since then, she has been trying her best to bear with his unprofessionalism and sees it more as a blessing to have such a dark job.
