Life is Strange - One shots [Lis 1 & 2, Life is strange before the storm]

Daniel Diaz x Reader (2)

Reader's POV

While I was taking a closer look around, Daniel grabbed a photo from the inside pocket of his blazer. This place had an exclusive and notorious vibe to it. It wasn’t completely crowded in here, yet enough for one to easily get lost in between the guests. In addition to that, the room was pretty huge, which definitely wouldn’t be helpful if someone really got lost. 

I turned back to Daniel and glanced at the picture he was holding between his fingers. It showed a black door with a dark green frame and a golden knob. ,,You’re seeing this door anywhere?” I took a look around, searching for the door. After a few seconds it actually caught my eye.

,,Hey look, over there.”

The door was behind a barrier guarded by some men. ‘Private area’ was written on a sign. There were some guests standing around, dancing or drinking something. If Daniel wanted to get inside of that room without being noticed, they needed to be distracted.

,,Damn.. Alright, ready to distract those people?” He asked.

Just as those words left his mouth I saw a couple poles on a stage near the crowd, there were no dancers though. A grin crept up my lips as I got an idea. ,,As ready as I’ll ever be.”

,,Good. Um.. just make sure to distract them while I enter that room. So they don’t see me, y’know.. doing my thing.”

,,Okay, I’ll make sure no one notices anything.” I reassured him.

,,Thank you. And one more thing before you go. This is important, okay?” He took his phone out of his pocket and showed me a picture of a man, his appearance was well.. not very appealing to me. He definitely seemed to be way older than Daniel and me.

,,If you see this guy, distract him. Talk to him or whatever. Just make sure he doesn’t come near the private area. He’s the guy we’re stealing from. He owns this place. And most importantly he knows who I am. If he sees me, or that his guards are knocked out he’ll know that something’s off, and then we’re busted. You understand?”

,,Jeez.. I do. You know, you’re pretty hot being so serious ‘bout these things.” I teased. 

He smirked, yet remained pensive. ,,(Y/n), if we get caught by him we’re in trouble. And ‘these things’ as you call them, are literal crimes and therefore pretty fucking serious. One little mistake and it can cost us our lives.” He said, sounding more and more harsh towards the end.

,,You sound like you’re scared of him, I thought you don’t fear anyone anymore..” I frowned, of course out of all the people Daniel knew the most how one little mistake, one wrong decision can ruin your life, how it can end a life. He had to learn that the hard way. 

,,I don’t. I am scared for you. Because after we’re done here, the man’s going to be pissed. Real pissed. I don’t want him to find out you’re in this too and then having his henchman kidnapping you in some random dark alley the next chance they get. So if you see him, just pretend you’re some random girl that came here to party and-” He sighed, running a hand through his bleached tousled hair. ,,And... as much as I hate to say it, pretend to be single, so he doesn’t suspect anything.” He said pulling my bracelet over the small tattoo at my wrist that indicated that I was his girlfriend. ,,Can you do that for me?” 

,,Yes.” I said. ,,As long as you’ll be careful. For me..” I whispered and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek.

,,I promise. Now, let’s do this babe.” 

A/n: if you want, you can now play the song that I added to this chapter. It's the song I had in mind while writing the following scenes ;)

I nodded and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before making my way over to the stage. As I approached I could already feel several eyes on me. The music was also becoming louder and I could basically feel the bass pulsing through my veins. 

Okay (Y/n), looks like now is the time to let your inner stripper out. I thought to myself while climbing up the little stage where the poles were positioned on. The sound of the song that was playing was quite sensual, so that should work.

I reached for the pole with my hand and swung myself slowly around it once. Then I simply let myself be carried away by the music. My hips swayed in sync with the beat while I slowly let my hand run through my hair, ignoring all the stares I received for that and not noticing the huge crowd that had started to form around me. It was not until the chorus of the song played that I noticed how many people were actually watching me at this very moment. They started to cheer, especially the men. 

I let my eyes wander through the room, trying to find the guy my boyfriend mentioned earlier. But suddenly I caught sight of Daniel himself, standing behind the crowd with an astounded look on his face. His eyes were lingering on my body as I continued to dance, his mouth slightly open. 

I playfully winked at him to get him out of the daze he was in. He shook his head slightly and a tiny smirk appeared on his face before he started to walk over to the private area.

Daniel’s POV

I had just put my phone and the photograph back into my pocket when I saw (Y/n) on the stage, starting to dance around one of the poles. ,,What the hell? When I said distract them, I didn’t mean-” I whispered to myself but couldn’t even finish my sentence. Wow. Her movements flowed with such a fascinating ease, it was almost hypnotizing. She simply took away the breath of every single person in her audience, including me. I snapped out of my trance as she teasingly winked at me. I couldn’t suppress a grin, one day she’s gonna drive me insane, that is if I’m not insane already. Stealing from the most respected and dangerous gang leader of Puerto Lobos is, after all pretty insane. But he had it coming. 

Quickly I made my way over to the door, making sure not to be noticed by the security men. There were two of them, both taller and more muscular than me. But that wouldn’t stop me from getting into that room. While hiding behind a column I saw one of them nodding into my girlfriends direction, a grin was on his lips. ,,Ey, mira.” He told his colleague. They both started laughing like horny immature teenagers. Pendejos..

I made sure no one was looking, then focused on them and tossed them into a dark corner next to the door. After reassuring myself that everyone was still watching (y/n)’s performance I opened the door with my powers and went inside. 

It was dark, so my eyes needed a few seconds to adjust. It looked like some sort of office, there was a huge desk in the centre of the room, a couple statues made out of glass and other decorations that I didn’t pay any attention to. 

Where is the safe? It has to be somewhere in here.. I started to search for it, but after a few minutes of looking around I still hadn’t found anything. Shit, I can’t spend too much time in here.

Out of frustration I kicked against the heavy carpet that was lying on the floor, when suddenly the corner shifted a bit and something metallic became visible. Wait a minute...

Slowly I lifted the carpet on that spot and.. ,,Jackpot.” A satisfying smile spread across my face as I began to open the safe. Several stacks of money were stowed inside, but we didn’t come for that. If we wanted the money we could’ve just robbed a bank, at least that wouldn’t risk a gang coming after us. Then again, I could buy (y/n) some real cute stuff with all that cash. ,,Fuck it.” This asshole doesn’t deserve it anyways. I took the money and wrapped Mushroom’s bandana around it before hiding it inside my jacket since I didn’t bring a bag or anything. 

And now the thing we came for. The chain. Not just any chain, it was a gigantic golden chain with a pendant that was covered with several small diamonds. It was some kind of status symbol, his very own trademark. It would be humiliating if people found out that someone stole it.

In fact, many have tried to actually steal the jewelry, but it always ended with them.. well, regretting it. I took a closer look at the huge pendant, it was representing the skull of a bison. 

Guess he doesn’t know that wolves hunt those mammals. I thought to myself with a mischievous grin and put the chain into my pocket. 

,,Okay, time to get the hell out of here.”
