The warm morning light would seep through the thin curtains and the room temperature air would swirl around gracefully as I shuffle around in the oversized double bed to increase my already phenomenally high level of comfort. This my good friends is how people wake up in romance films and novels but in this house it isn't done this way. "AY WAKE UP BITCH!" Atsumu bursts through the large white double doors screaming at the top of his lungs with Bokuto and Hinata following behind holding metal pots and pans. They were banging them together like they weren't ever going to see the light of day again which didn't sit well with me. I went to bed quite late so when I finally managed to sit up to look at the three males parading around my room they were in for a hell of a time. I was tired, hungry and in general 100% pissed off because they forced themselves in here unannounced.

I lean over to my left and grip one of the pillows closest to me before throwing it at Atsumu. He gasps and jumps out of the way, "ya fat bitch!" I return the gasp as his signature smirk finds its home on his face. He pops one of his hips out and rests an elbow on it as he flails his other hand around. "Jokes yer so skinny!" I can't help but wheeze as I see Bokuto and Hinata's faces switch to ones of confusion as they listen to this joke that is well know between me and this one certain Miya twin. Me and Osamu are also good friends but he stayed out of the mafia business and started up his own restaurant, I really fancy eating some of his food actually.

Hinata leans towards Bokuto and covers his mouth as he whispers in the older males ear, it was like a scene from a comedy movie. "What's going on?"

Bokuto leans in as well and follows Hinata's actions. "I have no clue" once me and Atsumu were done I slid out of the bed, as much as I didn't want to, and waltzed my way into the bathroom connected by a thin white doorframe and a white door with a fancy gold handle.

"Hey what're yer doin'? We've got shit to do ya know?" Atsumu bangs on the door as if he was completely oblivious as to why someone would go into the bathroom once they have woken up.

"Miss L/n is currently preoccupied with another task, please return in a few minutes time once she is DRESSED AND LOOKS PRESENTABLE!" The last part was shouted out as I wanted to put quite a bit of emphasis on my response.

He huffs from the other side of the door, "alright calm yer tits down love just hurry up" when I hear the sound of footsteps completely fizz away only then do I sigh and start looking for what I needed.

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

After I had gotten ready the small group of three took me to Sakusa's office, he wasn't in there but there was a lot of paperwork sitting on his desk and his computer screen was loaded up with tabs as well. "What's all this?"

"Paperwork about the imports and exports of every drug and deadly weapon that each and every one of our allies owns" Atsumu says nonchalantly. I forgot that shit like this is normal in our every day to day lives. "Also if you're wondering where Omi-Omi is then don't, he'll be here soon" he crosses his arms over his chest and looks out at the unnecessarily large garden around the back of the house. It was well kept and had many different exotic flowers planted in it, it actually makes me wonder who in this house is the one with such a taste and passion for gardening. If only I had the patience for something like that...

Suddenly, the polished black door swings open and the person who steps in is no other than Sakusa. His hair was messy and sprawled across his forehead and his chest was slightly heaving. His irregular breathing could be heard from across the room and his mysterious black eyes darted from each one of us. His clothes were torn here and there and when I saw a few blood splatters on his blazer I understood why his behaviour was so off. "Bokuto would you mind taking his blazer off and throwing it in the wash?" He nods and does as I said. "Hinata could you go a grab me a bowl of warm water, a cloth and bring in his body wash please?" He nods with a serious look on his face and speeds out of the room.

I look at Atsumu and we must have been on the same wavelength as he helped me sit Sakusa down in his leather chair which squeaked with every movement on it. Some blood had seeped through his white button up shirt so I asked Atsumu to take it off as I searched through the drawers of the desk to find some sanitiser and luckily I did. "Hold out your hands for me" I ask gently and Sakusa does before I gently squeeze and put an adequate amount on them. As soon as I closed the bottle his hands were rubbing together viscously, almost like the only way to make him feel clean would be to get rid of his skin entirely. Which was a gruesome image in my mind. Bleh! Just imagine us with no skin a quick tingle is sent down my spine which causes me to shake but I play it off by saying I felt a cold chill in the room, which wasn't far from the truth as the rooms atmosphere had dropped when Sakusa walked in and the temperature went with it too. "Just hang on a little longer Hinata will be back soon" only a few spots of blood had managed to reach his bare skin which was lucky but in Sakusa's eyes this situation couldn't be any worse.

When Hinata came back he brought exactly what I had asked for and as soon as I had what I needed I soaked the cloth in warm water and body wash before delicately wiping it over his skin, picking up each droplet of blood. I remembered what he had told me last time about when some blood had managed to get onto his hand and he almost passed out from the sight of it, this is what I wanted to prevent from happening. "Did I get it all?" I ask as I put the cloth into the water to remove the blood from it and I then ring it out before folding it and hanging it on the edge of the bowl, the edges of the cloth just missing the now blood infested water.

He points to the second drawer down on the right side of his dark oak wooden desk, I take this as a sign to open it and when I do I see some sanitary wipes. Of course he wants me to go over it with something else, I should've been one step ahead of him. I nod and smile at him before taking the packet out and removing three wipes from it. I wipe over his torso first with one wipe and place it on the table. "Hands please" when he sanitised his hands not too long ago I noticed some scuffs so I used the second wipe to go over his hands again. Finally, I used the third wipe on his face even though there was no blood on it I still did it as a precaution. I notice that his breathing had started slowing when I put the last wipe down and asked Hinata to drain the water and throw the wipes away, I felt bad but he was happy to help. "Okay I think that's everything" I brush myself off before sitting down on the edge of his desk and holding his face in my hands, gently turning it so I could check for any scratches I missed and because I was also watching his eyes. When he came in they were frantically rushing between all of us in the room but now the were focused solely on me.

"Better?" I say with a hushed voice, not wanting to risk alarming him in anyway. I felt bad for treating him like a child in a way but I had no idea how fragile he was or could be in this state. He didn't answer and I could tell he most definitely wasn't happy so I held his wrist with a light grip and walked out of the office. After asking him to guide me through the maze of a house we reach his bedroom and once we are inside he darts for the en suite to presumably get in the shower. When I heard the water running I tried to find some comfy clothes for him and laid them out on the bed along with some sanitiser I found and some sanitary wipes. Just in case...

I huff and place my hands on my hips feeling all proud of myself before I spot Sakusa walking out of the bathroom with his hair damp, water droplets on his torso and his towel hanging around his waist. HOLY COW! MANS IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS WHAT THE?! If we weren't in the situation we were now I'd defo let him tap that - Y/n stop! Now isn't the time ya horny sonova gun!

"Did you put all of these here?" He spoke which broke me out of my day dream and when my eyes refocused again I saw him standing over the edge of the bed, where I placed everything for him. His voice was quiet and added a hint of worry to the somewhat calming atmosphere.

"Mhm, I didn't know if you'd want to use the sanitiser or the wipes but I put them there as a choice anyway" I leaned against one of his chest of drawers and faced away as I noticed him about to take his towel off. As attractive as he is to me I still respect his boundaries and it's kinda weird to stare at someone when they're getting naked. Unless your in a relationship or something I suppose - sorry I went off on a tangent!

I kept looking to the side until I felt one of his hands hold my wrist lightly before his other hand wipes over my palm and the back of my hand with a wipe. I look at him with a baffled face and luckily he understands what I was inaudibly asking. "You touched that filthy cloth and the wipes so I'm just going over your hands, you don't mind do you?" He had a more confident presence around him now which I felt glad to see was gradually returning.

"No I don't you just took me by surprise" I hold out my other hand for him, ready for when he grabs another wipe to clean it. He sanitises his hands once more and then finally settles down on his bed. He pats the space next to him so I walk over and plop down beside him. We sat there in silence for a few minutes just staring out of his mahoosive window. Thousands of stars could be seen from where we were sat and it was beautiful. Whenever one twinkled a tiny area in the room would light up for a split second before dimming down again. Also I couldn't help but notice how astonishing Sakusa looked in the moonlight with damp hair but there is a time and place for everything and now is not the time! "Can I ask you a question?" Something was pondering in the back of my mind and I had to get an answer from him.

"I'm guessing it's about where I was and why I was there?" He was onto me and boy was he good at it. Dude could read a room before even stepping into the bloody thing. Instead of answering verbally I just nod and scoot a bit closer to him, I was VERY interested as to why he came back with blood on him. "I had a deal to sort out with someone but it was a trap, four of his men came out of nowhere. Each with SIG Mauser M2's which is a-"

"A recoil operated, locked breech semi-automatic pistol with a short barrel recoil and rotating barrel locking. It also has a DAO trigger with striker firing meaning no hammer but despite all of this it has many safety features" I cut him off before he gave me a mini lecture on the features of the gun that was pulled against him. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow before chuckling.

"Shit...I forgot you've been involved in this kinda stuff since you were born"

"Yup! I've been an expert in guns and drugs since I popped outta my mommas cooch!" I throw him a wink but instead of laughing at what I said he was completely lost for words.

"I'm sorry what?"

"Nothing! carry on!"

He chuckles again and brushes back his hair with his hand before smiling at me. It was a smile I had never seen before and I couldn't quite comprehend what it meant but I admired it nonetheless. "You're so strange sometimes" he speaks as he tucks some hair behind my ear, his eyes following every movement that his hand made. "But I like it, it's..." he pauses. "Refreshing" I had to admit I was a bit confused by what he meant but I soon took it as that he had never met someone like me before. As it should be bitch imma unique motha fucka!

"Thank the lord you said that cause if you insulted me I would've whooped yo ass!" I raise my hand jokingly and he raises both of his in surrender. A short lived laugh is shared between the two of us before we lay back on the bed, comfort overwhelming me more than him since he was used sleeping in it. We were silent for a couple of minutes but something else started occupying my mind. "You really scared me today yknow?" I turned on my side to look at him and he turned too.

"It's not like it's never happened before" he answered softly, fatigue was slowly building up in the both of us.

I flicked his forehead lightly. "I understand that but the look you had in your eyes, it terrified me"

"Well you don't need to worry I'll always make it out alive"

I hold up my little finger expecting him to lace it with his but he doesn't take the hint. I roll my eyes and click my tongue. "It's a pinkie promise dumbass"

"Oh..."

"Promise me you'll always make it out alive" it was strange. I felt strange. We had only known each other for a short time but I felt as if I could trust him and the others with my life. If they were going to protect me then I would do everything in my will power to keep them safe as well, it's the least I could do.

He finally laces his little finger with mine and smiled. "It's a promise"

"Good! Now I'm gonna go try and find my room so I can sleep, I need my energy to deal with Atsumu's chaotic ass" I go to get up but he pulls me back down on the bed, still laying next to me. "Huh?"

I look at him, shocked. "You can sleep here if you want" his voice had gone quiet again and not gonna lie it was kinda cute. The way I wanna squidge his cheeks right now - the ones on his face ya filthy bastards!

"You sure?" I wanted to get reassurance cause this came from nowhere.

"Mhm I don't mind as long as..." he stopped.

"As long as?" I draw out my question.

"As long as it's you..."

OKAY HERE WE GO! FINA-FUCKIN-LY, how're we all? 🤠
I'm sorry I've been gone for a while but my eyes decided they hated me for a lil bit but I'm good now.

Just a quick thank you for over 1k reads on this book and nearly 4K reads on "perfect" (I think I said this in the new chapter for My Little Angel but eh)

Happy Easter and I'll try and make a schedule again (probably won't but I'll try 💀)
