I. Substory #3 Drifter Grifter

[He looks tiredly at the list of crimes of this grifter and for a moment he wonders if Bradley's out there stealing again? He's probably stealing, but is this specifically Bradley or just some idiot he doesn't have to care about?]

Okay, so what did this guy look like? Did he even have any information or was he just dining and dashing?

[Are there, for some reason, giant windows in your bathrooms? How is this guy getting out so easily?]

II. City of Rain, before hours
[Now more than Ever Nero's grateful to have his shop. An oasis of calm in the middle of the din of Jigokuchou. Of course, the quiet rule doesn't come into effect until the shop actually opens. Sometimes it is nice to be able to talk to his employees without having to write everything down on paper.

He has been cooking a little earlier than usual, but that might be because of the new hire. Bradley? Just somebody from home. At least it's very normal for Nero not to say much about himself.

He does send out a text to everyone who works there.]

Breakfast on Friday at 10 if you want to come early.

Tell me what you want.

III. Wildcard
[Give me another prompt or contact me via discord or PM.]

[It did.

He thinks he deserved more.

Bradley didn't even draw blood.

But he relaxes into Bradley's embrace, a familiar thing. Something he shouldn't have.

Maybe it's a good thing they aren't looking at each other.]

I'm okay.

[potensum]

[ of course he didn't, he's nothing if not a pro at fucking nero - even if he recognizes he let his emotions get the best of him for a second.

he cranes his neck slightly to kiss his neck, slowly, as a sort of apology for hurting him. ]

...You sure?

[perfectdistance]

[He really can't work out why Bradley is so tender with him. It feels wrong, and yet he wants to drink it up. He wants to hold this moment in his hands forever. He never wants to leave.

He really shouldn't stay.]

Yeah. Don't worry.

[potensum]

[ his hold around him tightens even more. ]

Hah. I'll always worry, dumbass. Because you're mine.

[ if nero won't say it, bradley will. ]

[perfectdistance]

[He squeezes his eyes tight and just lets himself be held. The tears are held back, but it's a near thing.]

You say whatever you want.

[What's that like?]

[potensum]

. . . Why won't you say it back?

[perfectdistance]

...

I don't know why you want me to say it.

[They both have to be aware of their shared history, right. The fact that Nero betrayed him is right there. Who else would it be? Nero was the one who asked him to meet him at that specific place, and never showed up. That was how he got captured at all.]

[potensum]

[ because he loves you. ]

How about ‘cause I’m asking you to?

[perfectdistance]

[That's such a stupid reason.

(He loves you.)]

...

[He goes quiet, wrapping his arms around Bradley's, trapping them both there.]

[potensum]

[ he won't give up. but he'll let it go, for now. ]

…You are mine. I'll make you admit it. Just you wait.

[perfectdistance]

[Why won't Bradley let him go, Nero wonders as he also can't manage to disentangle their lives. Fate isn't something he believes it, but he doesn't manage to let go, even as much as he thinks he should.

Turned away like this, he smiles bitterly.]

You're so stubborn.

[potensum]

So are you.

[ he releases one arm from around him, using it to turn nero’s face to the side. it’s not enough to reach him and kiss his lips, but it's good enough to press their faces together. ]

For no reason, 'cause there's no one here but us.

[perfectdistance]

[He doesn't resist at all, allowing Bradley to do as he wishes.]

I'll keep being stubborn.

[potensum]

Haha. I like that about you, too.

[ he loves everything about nero, unfortunately. ]

Am I heavy?

[perfectdistance]

Of course you are.

[Nero is not letting go.]

[potensum]

…If you want me to get off you need to let go, then.

[ not that bradley wants him to, but he knows he's bigger than nero and doesn't want to crush him. ]

[perfectdistance]

I didn't tell you to let go of me.

[ Nero's not that delicate. ]

[potensum]

I can't kiss you like this, though.

[ important ]

[perfectdistance]

Needy.

[He lets go of Bradley's arms and turns so they're looking at each other.]

[potensum]

[ he was half-expecting nero to not want to look at him, but is pleased that's not the case. he can see his eyes look red, and it tugs at his heart a little.

he touches the side of his face. ]

...Do you want me to?

[perfectdistance]

[Bradley's touch is so familiar. Nero closes his eyes, letting the silence stretch out between them before giving a slight nod.]

[potensum]

[ finally. something. at least this means he wasn't crying over anything important... maybe his dick is just That Good? that's gotta be it.

he leans in and kisses him - tender, lingering. whatever feelings he has for nero, he's letting them all convey through. ]

[perfectdistance]

[Bradley, how can you fit an ego that big into one body.

He melts into the kiss, so much more honest than what he can manage to say.]

[potensum]

[ it lasts awhile, with neither of them wanting it to end, but bradley pulls away first. ]

Hey. Don't kiss me too much or I'll get horny again.

[perfectdistance]

[ He tucks his face into the crook of Bradley's shoulder, a slightly muffled laugh. ]

Gonna let me sleep?
