Domesticated (Ticci Toby x Neko! Reader)

ლ Nineteen ლ

The figure snaps it's head up, and only now do you notice the baby in it's arms. Only, it's no random child. The baby is Rose and the figure is your father. 

--------------------------------------------------

Your eyes stay open in pure horror, unblinking, afraid. To see that innocent child cradled in the not-so innocent arms of your father...it just made you want to rip your hair you.

"Put...her...down." you choke out, your fingers curling into tight fists by your hips. Toby attentively rests a hand on your should to remind you to calm down, but you can feel the restraint pulsating under his skin.

"Why?" the man chuckles, his lips curling back to reveal horribly rotten teeth. It almost makes you gag but you're determined to keep up a strong resolve. He holds the child closer to his dirty chest, and you can see the amusement glinting behind his cloudy eyes. He was enjoying this.

That sick son of a bitch.

Without thinking, you lunge forward, but he swiftly grabs something metallic and pikes it up to the baby's throat. It was a Swiss army knife. Small, but big enough to cut the undeveloped child's arteries. Anger boiled inside you and you took a step back, your foot dragging harshly across the ground as you realized you had to force yourself to retreat. He just let out a happy and insane laugh as Rose began to cry.

The sound made your fists clench tighter. All you wanted to do was save her and get the hell out of there, but the sadistic man would never let something that simple slide. Somewhere in the back of your mind you could barley make out the fuzzy sound of Toby unsheathing his twin axes from his belt. He flips them around his fingers and jerks his head towards Ash. The demon gets the sign and takes his katana from the sheath on his back.

You, however, have no weapon. You were planning to strangle this man with your bare hands.

With silent communication, Ash slips from behind you and into the shadows. Your father's beady eyes are so trained on the knife and child he doesn't even notice. So far things were going smoothly.

You bite the inside of your cheek as you stare at the wailing child in his dirty arms. It breaks your heart to see her like this. After a minute of wordless stare-downs between you and your father, Ash appears behind him. But your father doesn't notice.

Using his attention on you as a distraction, Ash swings his katana around as if it were a baseball bat for more momentum. You grin as he whacks it down on his shoulder, not enough to cut off his arm though. He screams in pain and lets go of Rose, letting her and the knife drop to the ground. You run over and scoop her over, holding her close. You could run now. He was too in pain to chase after you.

But something stops you. Blood lust.

You wordlessly step towards him, but a strong arm wrapping around your waist halts you. Lolling your head back you see Toby looking down at you. "I just called in an anonymous tip to the police, they'll take care of him."

Tears well up in your eyes. "B-but...if he escapes again..." you whimper, feeling helpless. "Then more people w-" he silences you with his lips, moving his mouth to cover yours. A small blush rolls over your face and you kiss him back happy for the distraction. He pulls back after a few seconds.

"They'll take care of him." he repeats.

"Alright..." you nod, holding Rose close and wiping away her tears. You kiss her temple and walk off with Ash and Toby, not once looking back to see your father.
