Haitani Brothers x Reader

17) The Bosses

"So, that's the little bitch, then?" a gruff voice scoffed as he scratched his blonde hair. Y/n stood a few feet from the group of delinquents that had followed the Haitani brothers. The guy tched as he remembered what the brothers had said when they gathered.

Ran's face was cold as he smiled at the group, Rin at his side with an equally cold glare. The blonde guy from before, squirmed under their gaze. They seem serious today, he thought as his hands clenched behind him.

"We'll be having a guest tonight for the festival," Ran announced, placing his hands in his pockets. "I expect you bastards to treat her respectfully," he announced, and gave the group a close-eyed smile. The guys started whispering among themselves.

"A girl?" the blonde muttered, gritting his teeth as his face darkened. How annoying.

"Oh, the rain stopped," Y/n mumbled, a hand extended. You close the umbrella, shaking the droplets off.

"She's not bad looking up close." You turned around, not showing your surprise at the sudden group of delinquents surrounding you.

"Can I help you?" you asked. A guy with blonde hair stepped forward, sizing you up as you watched.

"What do the Haitani brothers see in this bitch?" Your brow twitched as he sneered down at you. "You look like a spoiled brat," he laughed, the others joining.

You smiled, a vein bulging. "At least I'm not trash prancing around as if I own the place." Your eyes narrowed as you fixed him with a cold glare. He recoiled. "You should go back to whatever sewer you crawled out of."

He gritted his teeth, a vein bulging at his jaw. "You bitch!" he shouted, raising a hand. A blur shot past you and grabbed his arm. Y/n watched, unfazed.

"Hey now~ are you going against the boss right now?" the newcomer chuckled as he grinned. A shadow fell over his smiling expression, vein bulging. "I can break your arm without even trying, bastard. So, back off." His face grew serious.

"Ugh, like hell you can! Do you know who you're━" A sickening crack cut him off as the guy flung his arm, his bones snapping from the force.

A blood-curdling scream escaped the blonde as he held his crooked arm. "Take him away," the newcomer said, jerking his head. The guys quickly grabbed the blonde and dragged him out of there.

You glanced over your shoulder, and the guy turned around. You both watched as a couple of others joined them.

"You alright there, miss?" You glanced up at the black-haired guy and nodded. "Yeah, but who might you be?" He smiled as he bowed slightly. "No one important, just someone who admires the Haitani brothers."

"I assume you knew the blonde and the rest of his crew." He chuckled awkwardly, still smiling. "Ah, unfortunately, they follow the brothers as well."

"I see," you replied, glancing at the others behind you, your guard up.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about these guys!" the ravenette beamed. "The bosses asked us to treat you respectfully."

You blinked, "They said that?" He nodded. "Of course, you're their girl! Of course, they would ask that of us." You stepped back, cheeks flushing. "H-huh?" He blinked at your reaction. "Are you not dating them?" he asked, innocently tilting his head, his red earrings clinking with the movement.

Your face became redder as you looked away. "I-I, no, I'm not dating...them," you whispered the last part, eyes wide. He blinked as you looked away, then spotting two familiar silhouettes coming this way.

"What going on here?" Rin asked, glaring as he walked towards the group, Ran close behind.

"We greet the bosses!" the men exclaimed, snapping their hands behind their backs as they bowed.
