Ribbons (Nino X Reader)

Ch 10 - Firework

This ain't Katy Perry. It's business (biz-nis pending accent).

Enjoy.

Now this man was on the verge of crapping his pants. His eyes were wide and you could see sweat pour off of him.

"I'm giving you a chance to talk. Don't fuck up."

"What is this?" He shook.

"Lucky you. And too bad for me. I just cleaned this thing two weeks ago. Protection purposes. Bike jackers, getting home late at night, and all. Then punks like you ordering around girls? Give me a break."

"Hun I work with him." Eased Ichika.

"Say what..." You look back at her with a nervous nod and back at him. Pushing him off and putting the knife away. "Now if you didn't act like a dick it didn't have to be like that. You just barge in here uninvited and grab someone? It's how you get duffed."

"Er, what does duff mean?"

"It means hit that bitch in the mouth and don't stop until he hits the ground."

"You didn't hit me. You pulled a knife on me."

"You grabbed me and I don't even know your name. On top of that, shave the mustache. You look like a pedofile. She's seventeen and your dumb ass looks 30. Shuddup and go that way." You point to the exit. This guy has really gotten on your nerves.

"Another time Hun." He bowed and apologized to Ichika. "Sorry Sir. Thank you for sparing me."

"Apologizes for the action. Panic mode happens. Enjoy your night. Get home safe."

"Aye." He turned around and waved goodbye. Now that was a sigh of relief for everyone.

"Thank God." You sighed and walked over to the railing. To receive a smack across the face.

"What the hell?" Barked Nino.

"What?"

"You carry a knife? What's wrong with you?"

"If you were out late at night going through the city, I'd love to see you out at night. For example you asked for me to call you that night. Nothing good happens at 3 AM. When a guy has thousands in his pocket what is he doing that's positive?"

"Just," She turned away.

"Please be careful. We all got nervous." Put in Miku.

"I'm sorry I lost my cool. I thought he was a predator. Nothing more. I use this thing only sparingly."

"Well it adds up but it's so scary." Squeaked Yotsuba.

"What happens if you get caught with that?" Asked Itsuki.

"I'm screwed. I got that part. I leave this at home mostly."

"Dummy. What happens if you go to jail?" Huffed Nino crossing her arms.

"I'm screwed." You sighed and reach into your pocket. "Let's do this."

"Huh?" Nino flinched as you hand it over. "Wha... what's this?"

"I'll find an alternative. Get rid of it for me." You smile at her. "I deserved that smack. I get it. I really do. I've been honest and got nothing to hide. Throw it out, keep it, do what you want."

"I love how the other day you said you were honest and you were done with those ways of yours. What's this?"

"I've had one since I was a kid. It's been normal for me."
