My Neighborly Demon (Eustass KidxReader)

Papaya

When September came- things were starting to be a little more intense.

Kid was visiting more often your apartment to the point where he would stay until you fell asleep. You'd sometimes wake-up in the middle of the night to see him either playing with your gaming stations or snoozing on your living room couch if it was very late.

He'd always wake up with a blanket he didn't remember falling asleep with in the mornings.

Killer was also a little more involved in your daily life now. He would ride with you (or you with him) sometimes to work since the garage and the office were nearby each-other. It was fun to have a conversation with the normally busy blonde in the mornings with hot coffee. Kid would be normally working from the afternoon to around 9 in the evening since he mainly focused heavier machinery and small detail work. Like motorcycles, diesel engines, the occasional boats and the once-in-a-blue-moon semi-trucks.

But he'd sometimes work in the garage with other things when his usual workload was done for the day (or the week. It wasn't all the time but, boy, did he like a challenge) and lent a hand with the other things around the shop.

Tonight was surprisingly normal. You went to your job alone, came back to an empty apartment, your neighbors were working late tonight because they went an hour later to work today. You decided to get chinese takeout delivered tonight instead of cooking. It was shaping up to be the normal Friday night you were used to when you lived alone.

When your food arrived, you noticed the restaurant made a beautiful mistake.

They delivered four times the food for the price you paid.

Happy accidents.

Today was not a good day for Eustass Kid and Killer.

Everything that shouldn't have gone wrong, went wrong.

First Killer spilled his coffee all over his pants, had to change to his work overalls. Kid's part orders were missing so he spent 2 hours at the post office just so they could tell him that the order was being delivered. Killer received the package but it was the wrong parts- they lost a minor client because of the parts and the wait time, and Kid had accidentally ripped his favorite shirt because it got snagged on the door frame.

It was a disaster.

When they finally made it to their apartment- they let out a sigh of relief when Killer parked.

"We need a vacation..."

"I can tell Heat to manage the shop for a few days. I want to sleep, eat and repeat..." Kid whispered, his forehead against the dashboard.

When the mechanics made their way up to their apartment, at their door was a bag with a little note:

"Please Enjoy!
-(Y/N)"

When they opened it, it was warm Chinese food.

'Maybe it wasn't too bad of a day today. ' Killer thought as he grabbed the food, opened the door and both sat down to eat their surprise meal.

It was late was getting late and Kid found you floating at the complex's pool. You were enjoying the warm night and then thanked the stars that the breeze was moderate. You just floated looking up at the starry sky with a smile.

"Want some company?"

"Come on in, the water is fine." You said with a grin. You felt the water ripple softly and heard a soft 'Shit, its cold' from the normally gruff man, earning him a giggle from you. "If you submerge yourself, it wont be as cold." You whispered, not taking your eyes off of the sky. You heard a splash and for some reason that made you a little uneasy.
