Chapter 7: Windy

Ran spent the next weeks that followed beginning you to change your mind.

It would always end the same, both of you would spill very solid arguments, you'd start yelling at each other, you'd fight for an hour or so before he would end up rearranging your guts.

You didn't even care anymore that Mikey could come in unannounced and find you. You were in daze, addicted to everything Ran was more than willing to give you.

It was no longer a game, the more you took from each other the more addicted you became. There was no stopping.. but the problem remained stagnant and neither of you had any other way out than.. well.. killing Mikey.

Entwined in the intimacy of your bed, you both laid naked, your head resting upon his chest, both breathless in the aftermath of recently shared ecstasy.

Ran: "Did I tell you I love you?"

You laughed and gave him a quick peck on the lips, his words sending you to heaven like they always did.

Y/n: "Only a million times before."

Ran: "Well, it's true. Seriously Y/n, you're something else entirely.. I've never met someone like you."

Y/n: "Oh, this world wouldn't be able to handle two y/n's"

You both laughed and started to search for your clothes

Y/n: "..I love you too, you know that, right?"

Ran: "Vaguely"

He grinned in a playful manner, pushing you to give him a little more

Y/n: "Vaguely?!"

Ran: "Maybe you should prove me more.. just to be sure."

He grabbed you from behind and pulled you back in the bed, hovering over you while you yelped in surprise from the sudden movement.

Y/n: "How much more are we talking about? Because  I'm pretty certain that if we do it one more time I'm probably going to need a wheelchair from now on."

Ran: "Meh, I wouldn't mind pushing you around."

Y/n: "You know.. you can't always shove a dick inside me just to shut me up, eventually we're gonna have to end the conversation."

Ran: "Can't I? I mean, it proved to be pretty efficient so far."

Y/n: "Ran.."

You gently pushed him off you, doing your best to put on a serious face as he pouted.

Y/n: "We've been dragging this long enough, I know the risks and I'm fine with it."

Ran: "Well I'm not. It won't be an assassination.. this is suicide my love."

Y/n: "What makes you so sure I would fail? Don't you trust me?"

Ran gave you his signature lazy smile and ruffled your hair.

Ran: "You might be one hell of a woman y/n but it would take so much more than just you to bring the organization down. I won't be able to protect you from them and it will kill me. We already have this, isn't it enough?"

Y/n: "Yes but for how long? How long till he decides to come home again? Take me again? Will it still be fine?"

Ran: "Considering the alternative.."

There was silence between the two of you. He would like nothing more than to be able to publicly be with you.. not just in secret, not just indoors. He truly wished he could just run away with you, but he wasn't dumb. He knew it would be just a matter of time until Mikey would find the two of you.

He tried to figure out a way, any way.. but to no avail.

Y/n: "You know, I also thought about something else.. I've been selfish. I have no right to keep you stuck in such a dire and frankly dangerous situation. I want you to know that I would honestly understand if you would choose to leave and be with someone who isn't.."

Ran: "Married?"

Y/n: ".. complicated. But yeah, that too"

You both laughed and he launched back on top of you.

Ran: "And why would I do such a thing? You showed me parts of me I never even thought could exist. I like complicated, makes things feel better."

Y/n: "Or you are just a bit of a masochist but either way.. I'm glad you think so"

As you and Ran were taking a shower together someone else was taking advantage of a window left open on the ground floor. The first man climbed inside and after checking around he signaled his other two friends to join, as they thought the house to be empty.

Your  home was definitely standing out, making it a frequent target for desperate young men who wanted to steal whatever they could. Unfortunately for them, Ran had an amazing ability to make himself unknown unless he wanted to be seen.

He heard the noise, shushed you with his finger, signaling you that there might be someone downstairs.

He quietly took his gun from the floor, got out the bathroom in a towel and hid himself in a corner while loading it.

He knew that Mikey was in a meeting so there was no way it could be him so it was fun time!

Took him about half a minute to shoot all three men and after clearing the area he came back around to let you know it was safe.

You almost shot him when he pushed the door open but thankfully, your aim was shit.

Ran: Jesus Christ Y/n I'm saving your life here and this is how you thank me?

You rushed to his side and started apologizing profusely while holding back a laugh but then it dawned on you..

He had to alert Mikey.. A node started to form in the back of your throat intuiting he'll probably come home to sort out this mess.

  Ran figured that as well but despite wanting to avoid Mikey  coming, he couldn't just keep 3 bodies in the middle of his living room without him finding out so he sighed made the call.

And as you both suspected..

Mikey came.
