The lights were blinding. It hurt. I felt nauseous. This stupid dancewear is scratching my body. But it attracts. I don't think I can move, but my legs are doing otherwise. Arms wrapping around the cold pole, lifting myself up as I do my prepared dance. Love is a bitch by Two Feet blasting in this stupid damn club. Old men watching me. Women wanting their attention but the men to busy watching me. Some of the women there wanted to be me. I felt it. Can I just leave? Let me go home. I'm so tired. But I can't. I need to provide my baby brother with a college. So, he doesn't end up like me. A woman who is only 22 and working 3 jobs to keep food on the table, to provide a roof over her and her brothers head, to pay for the bills, and things her brother needs for school or wellness. It's sad really. But it's reality. My parents died when I was only 15. So, I've been taking care of myself since I was 15, which gave me the horrible habit of being too independent. Boys don't like that. They want a woman who depends on them. But not too much because it's not attractive. But he was different. They were different. Bonten. A dangerous organization I work for. A member of 7. Mikey Sano, or Manjiro but he prefers to be called Mikey, Sanzu Haruchiyo, Kakucho Hitto, Takeomi Akashi, Kanji Mochizuki, Ran Haitani, Rindou Haitani, and Hajime Kokonoi. All of them in order. I knew their names all too well.
Mikey Sano, the leader of Bonten. He's been hurt oh so much. I wanted to take his pain, but I couldn't.
Sanzu Haruchiyo. Number two. He's the strongest, aside from Mikey, but a druggie as well.
Kakucho Hitto. Number three. The sweetest out of the 7. He has comforting hugs, and I can really talk to him. Aside from that, he's the third strongest aside from Mikey.
Takeomi Akashi. Has the most Wisdom, so that's why he's advisor. Takeomi makes the most plans. If Mikey says he wants to kill someone or wants to kill a organization, Takeomi plans it out. I don't know much about him but he's someone who's good to talk to.
Kanji Mochizuki. Gets set on missions often. I don't know him much. He's more of an aloof type of person.
Ran Haitani. Cocky bastard. And a simp. Handsome as hell. I could go on and on about him. More of the extrovert between him and Rindou. Ran is the older brother, and makes victims suffer a lot more.
Rindou Haitani. Opposite from Ran. But I know he's rough in bed as well as Ran is. How do I know? They brought home girls once and they walked out with wobbly legs. Kills victims immediately. Does not mess around but will if he's in the mood.
Hajime Kokonoi. Handles money. And probably the richest of all 7 of them. But he still goes on missions from time to time. As well as Ran, he's hot, and rich. But I'm not some gold digger.
Soon enough I'm off stage, thankfully, and went to my dressing room. Puking into my trash can. Not better. I'm so tired. Fuck I don't even think I'll make it home tonight... Should I call them...? Tell them to pick me up because I'm so fucking tired? God I sound pathetic. I sound weak. What happened to me...? Have I worked myself to exhaustion...? Need to go home... I can't even focus. I change slowly. From the exotic set to the simple jeans, shirt, and sandals. Pulling out my phone I scroll through my contacts, choosing who I should ask to come pick me up. I know better than to drive home myself. Then his name just sparkled to be picked. Ran's. So I called him.
𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨: 𝘳𝘢𝘯 </𝟥
Ran: Hello Y/N
Y/N: Can you come pick me up please...?
Ran: Why, pussy so beat up you can't walk? He chuckles
Y/N: Ran. Don't make me call your brother. And no. I can't focus on anything, and I feel weak. Please just come pick me up.. you weakly said
Ran: Alright princess. Don't go to sleep just yet. I know you're tired, but I need you to stay awake for me until I get there.
Y/N: I don't think I can.
Ran: Yes, you can princess. Stay on call with me until I say otherwise.
Y/N: I'll try..
The next few minutes were just him asking me out of the blue questions. I assume to just keep me awake. He got here eventually and hung up. I tried to keep myself awake, and succeeded. He came into the room and picked me up.
"Let's get you home yeah?"
I nod in response; I fell asleep in his arms unintentionally, but I got the best sleep that night. Ran takes it seriously when it comes to my health. Or my sleep in this case. That's why his act dropped when I told him I couldn't focus. I slept in his bed that night. With him keeping me close.
