The Border of Asakusa (Benimaru x Reader)

The Academy Showcase (Pt 5) *

The playing card requesting Beni's company for Isaac's interrogation still lay on the long table. You leaned in to pull it slowly towards you as Shay spoke in the background. "I know none of you were planning to stay the night here, but I've booked you some rooms just in case." A hotel bellhop stepped into the conference room and presented Mara with a key, and then set one down next to you. You nodded to express your gratitude as you spun the ace of hearts on its corner between the pad of your finger and the table. "There's also a change of clothes for you all in your rooms if you would like them." Shay directed to you.

You raised an eyebrow. "I suppose you'd have Konro's measurements, but how'd you get ours?" You could have sworn you saw Konro blush.

"Gaku was kind enough to provide them to us." Azula replied.

"Of course." You sighed with a slight smile. "Thank you, Shay. We're gunna do that fucking off now that we said we were gunna do before this meeting." You picked up your card and shot her a peace sign before you led Mara and Vulcan up to your room.

Mara plopped down on the bed of your hotel room and you laid down next to her. "What's on your mind?" You asked, desperate to talk about anything to get your mind off the dark chaos of your own thoughts. Vulcan laid down on Mara's other side.

"Do you think Burns intentionally delayed Vic?"

You looked at the ceiling. "Probably. I would've if I were him." She looked to Vulcan, who nodded in agreement.

"Fuck." The thumb and middle finger of her right hand rubbed her temples with her palm covering her eyes.

You glanced to her out of the corner of your eye "So, Captain Mara-"

"Don't you start with that."

"Hibana looked like she was gunna shit herself." Vuclan smirked at her.

Mara did laugh at that. "This might be the worst day of her professional life."

"Maybe it'll make her grow as a person." You shrugged.

Vulcan looked at you like you were delusional. "...Hibana?"

Mara laughed harder and released the hand over her face.

"I'm not convinced anyone is having a good time at this shindig. Poor Obi isn't getting a break today. First Y/n signs us up for combat training the kids-" Vulcan began.

"Hold on, Beni said Obi loved that!" You defended with a smile. "And it's a great political move for our stations. Winning over the hearts of the youth. They're the future of this shithole country."

"Fine. But then Mara almost gets snatched out of his company. And now he has a whole new district to take care of on top of the investigations into the 3rd. Poor bastard." Vulcan rolled to his side and propped himself up with his head in his hand. "But I gotta admit, Captain Mara does have a nice ring to it."

Mara clicked her tongue and tried (and failed) to look annoyed at him as his eyes undressed her.

You shook your head and looked away from them. "If y'all wanna go... I'll be fine..." You encouraged.

Mara's head snapped back to look at you. "Y/n, your Yakuza boss boyfriend would actually kill me."

Vulcan sat up. "Okay that was actually hilarious, though. The look on your face when you realized that Asakusa is and always has been run by a mob was-" He did a chef's kiss.

"Fuck off." You smirked.

"Hey, I was right there with you. Obi had to tell me as a warning before my first visit. No one told you."
