Spark of hope (Yang Xaio Long x Male SI)

Chapter 1

Y/N sat next to his companion watching as he held a bag of ice to his jaw. "So a girl beat you up in your own club, in front of your guys and you don't want me to kill her." Y/N scoffed as he picked up a small glass to take a sip. "Sounds like you're growing soft Junior, or is something that you're secretly into?" Junior gave Y/N a side eye as he looked over to the Malachite twins. "She didn't damage anything that couldn't be replaced or repaired, if she hurt them it would be different."

Y/N nodded as he took another sip of his drink. "You've changed quite a bit in the past year Junior, for better or worse." Junior scoffed as he put the ice on the counter. "That is what you think, I may a be a mob boss but I'm also a business man, and hiring someone go kill a girl isn't good for business."

Junior pointed at the twins. "Especially when I have them, you do know they're useful for more than their looks right?" Y/N rolled his eyes as he analyzed them for a moment. "I've met their mother on more than one occasion, I'd be disappointed if they were just cute. They your personal assassins or thieves?"

Junior gave a smirk as he turned to the counter tapping his weapon. "More than that actually, I asked for the best, and I got them. Anything I ask, they can do." Y/N leaned against the counter as he took a look at his empty glass.

"Oh, and what's the most dangerous mission you've put them in, stealing from the library or some cookies?" Y/N asked with a smile only for Junior to give him a hard look. "They've killed 10 HVTs in the SDC ,stole thousands on lien worth of dust and have stopped multiple attempts on my life. Got any more jokes?"

Y/N let out a small whistle as he leaned back. "You weren't kidding about the best, I may have to ask them for tips... how much do they charge?" Y/N noticed the edges of Juniors lips twitch in a smile. "Depends on how much they like you, and if I put in a good word you could be a 1/10th as good as them for the low price of 10k."

Y/N gave Junior a scowl as the man sipped his drink holding back a smile. "Luckily Roman pays me in more than exposure and dreams, how's your benefits look by the way?" Junior set his glass down with a scowl as Y/N smirked at him. "I hate you."

Y/N sat outside of the club holding a lit cigarette between his lips as he scrolled through his messages. "Damn Neo is getting desperate tonight, I can't blame her with how long that meeting has been going on." Y/N looked at the time raising his eyebrow. "Who in remnant could need 3 hours just to talk some simple terms, and why hasn't Roman ended the meeting or at least had a pause?"

Y/N let out a puff of smoke before putting the cigarette out with his fingers before tossing it to the ground. "Do I risk going back and getting yelled at or do I do some fun stuff as I wait to get called back?" Y/N looked up as he examined the stores near him. "Maybe I should go get some stuff for Neo and I to enjoy."

1 hour later

Y/N sat idly twirling a karambit with his finger as he listened to some White Fang members talking. "I heard the new boss can manipulate glass." Y/N raised an eyebrow as he heard a scoff. "What kind of semblance is that? Oh I just got my butt whooped and now I need to check my make up!"

Y/N rolled his eyes. "There has to be something useful to the semblance other than mirrors, maybe reflecting semblances or attacks with glass?" Y/N looked at the pair as they continued to joke.

"Other than rumors what have you two heard?" Y/N watched them stiffen as they looked at him. "Apparently she's rich, and quite the looker. To bad you're off the market huh?" Y/N shrugged as he walked closer twirling the knife.

"A one night stand couldn't hurt." Y/N said stopping near the two. "And they say you're a loyal guy."

Y/N gawked as he put the knife away"Why would you say such a heartless thing about me?" Y/N said with fake sadness white fang members shook their heads with laughter. "You are a funny one human, but what would Neo th-"

Y/Ns eyes ignited as his arms did the same "I'd recommend being a good dog and being silent unless you want to be punished." The White fang members scoffed. "Or what, we have rifles ready to go and all you have is-"

Y/N closed the distance between them as his hands hovered at their throats. "Or I kill you, and I've been itching to practice a new technique I've thought up." Y/N watched the two gulp as the smoke coming from his arms reached their nostrils.

"Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have your lungs burnt from the inside? With one more word you can at no charge." Y/N said with a sneer before ripping off the two masks and burning them to ash. "No be good animals and run."

Y/N smirked as the two ran off before turning to see Neo leaning over the railing looking unamused. "Can't a guy have a little fun?" Neo rolled her eyes as she pointed behind her. "Gladly my little psycho."

Y/N watched her tap her wrist once making him roll his eyes. "Sure, sure we can... if we don't get occupied with other items." Y/N said slyly making Neo look at the bag near her room. "I know those meetings had to be boring beyond belief, so I got some treats and... toys to use."

Neo ran over pulling out the tub of ice cream with a smile. "There's more in the freezer, now do you want treats... or me?" Y/N watched the girl look at the ice cream before looking back at him before rubbing her chin as a sinister smile grew on her face.

? Hours later

Y/N groaned as he lay next to Neo as she enjoyed the last of her ice cream. "You... you really were pent up huh?" Y/N could feel the bruises forming all over him yet he couldn't complain after the past few hours of bliss flew through his head.

Y/N was disturbed from his thoughts as Neo poked him in his now very sensitive pelvis. "What Neo..." Y/N looked over to see Neo with a set of pink hand cuffs in her hands. "Are you kidding me? I'm going to need weeks to recover after this." Y/N watched as she tapped her chin before shrugging and holding the cuffs out.

"You're evil you know that?" Neo nodded with a smile as she got up and straddled him. "Neo I don't think I can-" Y/N froze as with a single touch his miniature came to life once more. "Will I suffer later? Yes but it'll be so worth it."

A lot of agonizing minutes later

Y/N sat in a chair outside of Neos room smoking with multiple bags of ice on him as a familiar set of steps came up to him. "I see Neo got to you first, you going to need some time off?" Y/N shook his head as he turned to Roman.

"Good, now I have a mission for you." Y/N nodded as he pinched the end of his cigarette and tossing it away. "This will be a simple job, how long this takes will be up to you."

Y/N raised an eyebrow as Roman handed him a folder. "We need you to infiltrate Beacon, with the Vytal Festival coming up you need to assess all the students for weaknesses." Y/N felt a smile grow on his face attempting to hold back laughter for a moment before breaking.

"You are funny sir but what's the actual job!" Y/N said unable to breathe before looking at Romans annoyed face. "Oh shit you're serious." Y/Ns said before laughing harder.

"We've already had a few plans foiled due to Beacons students and staff, it's either I send you or Neo... and we both know how that went last time." Y/N shivered as he remembered Neos last infiltration job. "Poor White Fang bastards needed therapy for months afterwards, I assume you don't want them dead then."

Roman nodded as he tapped his cane on the floor. "We've been told there will be others like you in the ranks of other schools, as well as there being an unknown HVT to snatch." Y/N nodded as he thought. "Simple infiltrate and get Intel, try to avoid casualties and get paid."

Roman nodded as Y/N opened the folder. "We've made false records for you so you can fit in easier, especially since the entire time you'll be there you will have to stay on Beacons grounds. Try not to kill anyone, but if you do make it look like an accident."

Y/N smiled as he stood. "Gladly, now when do I start?"
