Angel calmly leads the man into the alleyway. He had challenged them to a fight after all, and though Ren had done his best to de-escalate the situation, the man had just turned on him instead.
Thatâs what made Angel snap.
Day in, day out, they dealt with disgruntled customers yelling at them about something or another as though Angel had personally gone out of their way to ruin this personâs life. They were used to it by now. Not happy, but desensitized, numb.
But when that man turned on Ren and started calling him vile, filthy names, mocking him for standing up for Angel, something inside them broke. Their face changed from an empty stare to widened eyes and a tight smile.
And that brought the unlikely group here. A clearly nervous Ren, his hands clenched into shaking fists and a wide-eyed, concerned look on his face. An eerily calm Angel, leading a fuming man deeper into the alley, away from witnesses, though he was too angry to realize the danger. It isnât until Angel turns around, a dead look in their eyes and their smile nowhere to be seen that he finally pauses. But it was already too late.
Angel makes eye contact with Ren, indicating for him to leave with a tilt of their head. He wants to do anything other than leave his Angel alone right now, but figures he would be more use as [Redacted], so he reluctantly leaves, mumbling something about calling for help. Angel carefully watches them leave before they refocus on the man. He was now pushing up his sleeves, posturing for a fight. Before he even gets a chance to advance, Angel reveals a pistol, aiming and pulling the trigger without even a flinch.
It takes the man a moment to react, staring for a split second before crumpling with a howl, grabbing at his leg in pain. Angel calmly cocks the gun, and aims once more, hitting his right arm this time. Rolling their eyes at the manâs screams, they unravel the scarf from around his neck and shove the end into his mouth, causing him to gag and choke on the fabric.
Without a change in expression, Angel cocks the gun one more time, regarding the man beneath them. He was openly sobbing now, though his cries were muffled by his own scarf. He writhed around, making sounds and gestures adjacent to pleas of mercy. Before he could crawl too far away, Angel pinned him with a shoe on his back.
They shake their head exasperatedly, âYou know⊠I donât care about you. I donât care about much of anyone, including myself. But you know who I do care about?â They pause before answering their own question, clearly not expecting an answer from the sniveling man, âRen. And you know what happens when you threaten the last fucking thing someone cares about when they have nothing left to lose?â
Angel chuckles, their tone devoid of humor, âAh, but I suppose itâs too late for you to do anything with that information, isnât it?â
They straighten, stepping off the man and watching as he futilely resumes his desperate crawl before ending it with a final smoking round from the gun into the back of his head. Blood splattered all across the alleyway and onto Angelâs skin, blemishing it with a dark shade of red.
âA- Angel?â
Angelâs head whips up, meeting a pair of baby blue eyes. There Ren stood, outlined in light like an angel, a hand obscuring the lower half of his face. His eyes were wide, shocked, horrified; no doubt at the scene that lay before him.
Angelâs impassive exterior melts into a look of panic, âW- Wait. No- Ren, it isnât- It was self defense I swear!â They click the safety on before tossing the gun away and opening their hands in innocence, advancing on Ren as they did so.
Inexplicably, instead of drawing back away from them, he stumbles forward, eyes flicking between Angel and the man on the ground, motionless. Angel pauses maybe ten feet away, unsure of what to say and wary of the wide-eyed look Ren still carried.
Ren mumbles between his fingers, still treading towards them, âAngel⊠I never thought⊠I didnât know you would do something like thisâŠâ
Angelâs eyes tear up at his words, âRen please, I didnât mean to, I really didnât! Please just- just donât⊠donât leave meâŠâ Their words trail off and they look down, unable to meet Renâs eyes that were always filled with such innocence.
Or at least, thatâs what they had thought. But as Renâs hand slips from his own face to cup theirs, Angel sees something entirely unexpected. He was smiling. A deranged kind of smile that they would have been wary of before, but now, they lean into his open palm, accepting him fully and practically begging with their eyes for him to do the same.
Luckily, he needed no convincing as his breaths were shaky, catching in his throat as he looked at them with the most intense eyes they had ever seen. Love-struck through and through, as though Angel was the only thing that kept the sun rising and falling. His state of mind was clear as day when he tugged them in closer, his hands trembling with excitement and his hold reigned in just enough to not inflict pain.
Ren leans down, burying his face into Angelâs neck with a helpless laugh, âOh, my Angel.â
His gaze locks on to the unmoving body behind his love, his smile growing hopeful in a sinister way as he murmurs, âIâm not going anywhere.â

(also pls pls ignore my bad grammar and punctuation, this is very beta)
You and Redacted had been living together quite a while now, almost two years! Really it was just shy of perfect, something was always happening in your apartment with them, some project or puzzle or new game they'd decided you must play together. This weekend was particularly lazy, with nothing to do actively around the house having done all the chores alone for once.
See, Redacted, you'd discovered early into your relationship, was a nerd. He loved his computers and his small robots, he loved to build and tinker and usually left his office quite a mess. He'd found a part he needed for his latest project off some internet forum, something no longer produced, "rare", he'd said. The only downside is that the pickup was almost 4 hours inland, meaning he'd have to be gone almost the entire day.
Redacted had slid out of your bed much too early in the morning and bade you a kiss goodbye, whispering you softly back to sleep before you'd even really noticed. That meant you hadn't seen him properly since the night before, which.. was fine, and it was normal for partners to be busy. but you missed him anyways, terribly even, especially in his absence of usual texts he sent constantly when not home.
It was about 7pm now and the blood red sunset on the beach cast a glow into your home, spreading across the pristine white marble flooring almost like spilled juice. you stood in the kitchen having decided to cook for once, in Redacted's absence who usually always insisted to do this. You stood at the stove, stupid pun apron on and wooden spoon in hand making spam fried rice with a fruit tart dish in the oven. It wasn't much but it was something he loved and you hoped to surprise him with it when he got home tonight, god willing it be before midnight since the location app the two of you shared wasn't picking him up anymore.
You paused a moment to admire the shining gold band on your left hand, a pretty diamond nestled in ornate but simple patterns. Not that it could be seen but when Redacted had proposed to you just 6 months ago you'd discovered he'd had your rings engraved, just a simple âalwaysâ but it was perfect. The metal glinted in the light of the kitchen and it brought a soft smile to your face before eventually you needed to pay attention to the food on the stove again but with a warm feeling throughout.
You stood in the kitchen humming along to some new love song off the radio, tapping the end of the spoon against the counter before ultimately deciding to use it as a microphone because, why not? No one was home after all. The sounds of the stove vent running and the sizzling of the rice in the pan coupled with the music covered anything else, a small little bubble of life which a certain someone was hearing from the foyer as he snuck through the front door.
You didn't notice a thing, eyes closed having a playful moment to yourself until large warm arms wrapped around your waist and picked you up for a spin. you squealed in surprise and wiggled around in his arms gleefully, wanting to get a look at your lover after a whole day gone. "I'm home~ did'ya miss me?" his low warm voice hummed beside your ear, making you giggle in his hold and immediately reach to shut off the stove knowing he was too clingy to allow you to continue cooking.
"Yes i missed you!! Let me go!!" his arms loosened around you just enough for you to spin around, coming chest to delicate paper with him and gasping the moment you saw what he held close. Between the two of you was a beautiful bouquet of flowers, an entire spring mix of beautiful blues and whites and purples with his smiling hopeful face above the flowers. "What do y-" "I love them!!! They're so beautiful, did you know you're my favorite?" you burst out not even letting him ask, taking the bouquet gently from his hold before leaping into his arms and pressing a hard kiss to his lips.
The two of you stood like that for a moment, wrapped up in each other with Redacted's hands running up and down your sides in warm paths till he seemingly had a new idea. He pressed you back and back and back, practically laying you down on the counter top while his kisses migrated across your face, over your hair, anywhere he could reach. his warm breath raised goosebumps across your skin and his smile pressed into your skin caused a new shiver, making you feel much too warm for an already toasty kitchen. "What are you.. a dog? All over me like a puppy.." you mumbled softly with a lovesick expression, hardly even an attempt at discouraging his overeager behavior.
"Missed you.. Can i not miss you? Missed you all day, missed you so much.." he rumbled softly against your skin where his mouth was pressed, hardly even kissing anymore so much as placing his mouth against your skin just to feel. He whispered the words reverently over and over, pressing the sentiment marrow deep to somewhere it would stick and take hold there, something that would grow. Redacted pressed his nose to your neck for a deep slow inhale, making you giggle at the sensation and finally decide to try and push him away while you squirmed in his arms. This only made things worse when he latched onto your waist tighter with a new determined look in his eyes not hiding the sparkle of mischief.
He left small breaths across your jaw and onto your face, pressing feather light kisses and making a point to be absolutely as close as possible. The cool brush from his nose only tickled worse but he refused to let up, leaving a delicate trail of breathy kisses all over your face and going as far to press his nose to yours, holding just like that for a moment. He slowly opened his mouth and bit on the tip of your nose, making you yelp in surprise and scrunch up with distaste. Redacted practically shook above you in a silent laughter, kissing the small nip better in a sincere apology with his soft eyelashes fluttering into a slightly remorseful smile.
"Redacted.. what is this? What are you even doing?" you said soft and endlessly fond, giving in and closing your eyes to his smirk pressed against your cheek, allowing him his fill of some much needed love. Once he started to nibble on your skin again you finally decided to gently put a hand over his mouth, snickering softly when he just started to gently nip and kiss at your fingers instead. You meant to push him away till his lips met the gold band on your finger, giving it a special devotion with your hand cradled between his own as if he held something to be worshipped. The sight was almost too much to bear, something fuzzy and warm tightening in your chest reminding you that you had this, he really was yours.
"Again, what'll i do with you??" you sighed with the fondest smile and a certain helplessness to your voice as he finally glanced up and your eyes met soft blue, a ghost of a hidden grin on his face, clearly very proud of himself. "Keep me?" he murmured in return, clearly gearing up to dive back in for more kisses which meant quickly squirming away off of the counter, wagging a finger in his direction.
"No more of you! Our dinner will get cold and then what?" you scolded, picking up your discarded wooden spoon to wave in his face. Redacted immediately crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks out in a pout, giving a small kick to the floor with a socked foot like there was any dirt to nudge while glancing up at you to see if his little show was working. "But.. yâcould always reheat it..." he said petulantly, reaching for you and not expecting you to dance away, a smile on your face.
He reached for you again with a bit more speed and then it quickly became a game of cat and mouse, doing your best to slip and dodge from his reach while he became continuously competitive. He chased after you out of the kitchen and in front of the couch, smiling so hard it hurt and having worked up a slight pant. when he lunged for you this time you let him catch you, falling back onto the couch with a loud oof and a series of wheezing laughs knocking the breath from you both.
you reached up a hand to cup his cheek, brushing a thumb over the gentle flush from the exertion and excitement. "Got it out of your system? Can we have dinner now?" you said wryly, looking up at him with your best unamused expression. He put on an overly dramatic thinking face and hummed softly, looking around as if this were the hardest thing in the world to decide. his hands ran warm up and down your sides, sliding slowly over the skin under your shirt taking deliberately long touches to burn the feeling of his rough fingers into your skin. Redacted made a sound of affirmation and looked down at you with a smile "Nope. Missed you.â
Needless to say, dinner did need to be reheated and the tart was a little bit too toasty to taste good.
Uhhhh this is my first time posting a fic anywhere lmao, idk what I'm doing but enjoy ig? :D Ren and image belong to @14dayswithyou content warnings are in the tags
Summary: Angel runs into trouble after hanging out with Jae and Teo
2.1k words
âGet away from me!â I yell as loudly as I can, hoping to either get the guy to back off or get someone elseâs attention. Of course the one time I decide to go to a bar and try to be social I get some creep trying to follow me home.
The man was swaying just a bit, clearly intoxicated, with shoulder-length black hair falling over their flushed face in greasy strands. I was pretty sure I could take him down if need be, but the fact that he was blocking the only way out from the alleyway concerned me. I had used the back exit specifically to avoid him, but he was a step ahead of me, probably not the first time heâs done this.
He began speaking again, slightly slurring his words, âAwww, câmon, a pretty girl like you walking home alone? Sânot safe, let mâcome with you.â
I glare, âListen, Iâm not interested in anything you have to offer me, what I would appreciate most is if you got out of my way.â
He takes a step forward and I take a matching step back. He croons, âIâm not gonna hurt ya, stop being so paranoid.â
This time when he steps forward, I hold my ground, shifting my stance and holding my hands out in something between a placating gesture and a guard, âIâm warning you now, if you donât back offâŠâ
I donât finish the threat as I donât really have any leverage. My phoneâs battery is dead so I canât call for help, and my knife is in my bag, which I had forgotten to even bring. Sure, I knew martial arts, but that probably wouldnât mean much to this guy.
So as he staggers closer, giggling, I follow his movements, recalling some of the simplest ways to take someone down. But just as he gets within range, his entire demeanor changes, his dazed look and swaying stance fall into a predatory glare and light-footed lunge. I catch the glint of what was probably a knife slashing from behind his back and sloppily swing my arm down to block it. I intercept his forearm, but donât have the strength to hold back a full-bodied swing at a momentâs notice, so the blade catches my shirt and burns across my hip.
For a moment, the world freezes. I can hear a thousand thoughts and regrets flash through my mind, but they sound distant, detached. The man steps out of my reach and gives me a disgusting grin while I stand in shock. My hand shakily moves to cover the open wound, and I canât help but look down at the thick liquid smearing on my palm. I try to step backwards, but the twisting of the wound sends jolts of searing pain up my side and I fall, holding my hip as hard as I can as I yell out expletives.
From my collapsed position on the ground I raise my head to keep track of my attacker, but he just stands laughing at me, apparently reveling in the first blood he had managed to take. What I didnât expect to see, though, was a different figure, clad in all black and wielding a sledgehammer above their head, aiming at the black-haired stranger in complete silence. I canât see their face clearly since their hoodie shadowed it, but I can feel their anger as the sledgehammer makes impact with the strangerâs head, flinging his entire body to the side with the force of the blow.
I stare at what's left of the manâs head as it makes impact with the wall of the alley and slowly slides back down. Red. Everything was red. The walls, the ground, the body that was laying crumpled at their junction, and the face of the person who undoubtedly just killed him. As I follow the trail of red, I notice its hue doesnât stain their clothes, only turns it a richer shade of black. But their faceâŠ
It's twisted into an ugly expression, something between disgust, frustration, and utter apathy as they consider the body before them. The splashes of red sharply contrast their pale skin as it drips down their cheek. I shuffle backwards as best I can, fighting the morbid curiosity to look back to the silent body on my left, instead keeping them fixed on the cold face in front of me. I see a flash of blue as they turn away hurriedly, dragging a neck gaiter higher over their nose and pulling their hood low once again before approaching me.
I belatedly notice the tears running down my face and try to wipe them away, not wanting to appear weak before this new opponent, though there probably wasnât much chance of that at this point. My efforts accomplish nothing but smearing my own blood and dirt across my face, but I have no time to worry about that as my back hits the dead end behind me.
I canât hear anything except the roaring pain in my side and my heartbeat thrumming in my ears louder than any bassline Iâd heard before. I glance behind me to confirm that there was indeed no escape before returning to the shadowy figure now crouching just out of my reach.
To my surprise, when his gloved hand returned from the depths of his pocket, it held not a weapon, but a phone. He speaks into it in a foreign language, and a million thoughts run through my brain, piecing together what I can from my shaky understanding: Fuck, he called someone. Thatâs Japanese. I know Japanese! DaijĆbudesu? Itâs okay? No the fuck itâs not! Is he even talking to me? Something about this place? Someone staying here? Fuck, is he calling in reinforcements? Whoâs on the other line? Kudasai? This bitch is being polite??? Is it the police?
When he finishes speaking, he immediately turns the phone to face me. I read the displayed text:
âAll right. Called an ambulance. Please exist here and keep stress on the defects.â
Despite the situation, I let out a choked laugh at the shoddy translation, though luckily it managed to convey the pieces I hadnât understood. The blue, red, yellow, and green logo in the top right corner confirmed my suspicions, âGoogle translate? Really? Thatâs not even close to what you said. Google sucks at translating Japanese; youâd be better off with Spanish or another romance language, if you know it,â I ramble out what comes to mind, whether he can understand me or not.
It seems like he understands me since he makes a surprised sound and shakes his head before turning the phone back to read it himself and letting out an irritated sigh. He pulls off a glove to attempt typing but I speak up again, despite my voice shaking and hitching so badly that he might need google translate to figure out what Iâm saying, âI think I know what- what⊠you mean. Do you- do you- do-. You- FUCK,â cursing to dispel my stutter, I continue, âYou want me to stay here for the ambulance and keep pressure on the cut, right? Thank⊠you?â It feels weird to thank someone who just smashed a guyâs head in, but staying on their good side was probably the best idea for now.
He nods and reaches out a hand toward my head, which I would have withdrawn from if my head wasnât already against the wall, but since I couldnât, I just squeezed my eyes shut, hoping whatever came next wouldnât be too painful. When I feel a gentle ruffling sensation of my hair, my eyes pop back open in surprise. I clearly see their own eyes for the first time, looking at me far more softly than they had any right to.
My confused look seemed to shake them out of whatever reverie they were in, and he abruptly retrieves his hand, looking down again and mumbling, âăăă, çźăăăă.â
To reinforce his meaning, he covers his own eyes before pointing at me. I hesitantly raise a hand over my eyes, but peek through a sliver to make sure he wasnât going to try anything. He didnât, instead turning and standing, approaching the dead man. I close the gap, not wanting to see what he did.
The swirling, sickening feeling in my gut only increases the more I think about the strangerâs eyes. A strikingly beautiful color, ocean blue with a hint of pink swirling through them if you looked closely enough. I was sure I had seen them before but couldnât recall when or where. What bothered me more though, were their eyebrows. Pink. I only knew one insanely tall person with pink hair.
But of course it couldnât be him, itâs not like pink hair is unheard of. And he would never be able to wield a sledgehammer like that, heâs always so timid⊠and those definitely werenât his eyes. His are a much lighter baby blue. Plus he speaks English, he probably doesnât even know Japanese. I reassure myself. Surely my partner could never kill someone with such ease.
Despite my conclusion, I canât help but spread my fingers again, peeking out to see the personâs form dropping a half-full trash bag on the spot where the remains of the manâs head was, covering the worst of the remaining viscera. I couldnât see the body anywhere, but the dumpster was closed now, and I wasnât about to check it. I evaluate his height, placing it at about six and a half feet. The same as⊠No. But what if?
I see him pick up the serrated knife that was left on the ground, inspecting it closely, though for what I wasnât sure. I drop my hand from my eyes, instead using it to brace against the wall as I try to stand up, but hiss in pain and slide right back down. This grabs the attention of the black-clad figure and he takes a few hasty steps towards me, gesturing for me to stay down.
I warily eye the knife in his hand, and he gets the message, tossing it behind him somewhere carelessly before opening his hands, showing that theyâre empty. They then back away, glancing between me and the entrance of the alleyway a few times before turning to leave.
I call out desperately, âWait!â Iâd never be able to face my boyfriend if I didnât confirm this wasnât him now, but how could I do that? I continue in a timid voice, forcing a few more tears to roll down my face, âDonât leave me, please. Iâm scaredâŠâ
He hesitantly turns back to me but stays where he is, clearly uncertain.
I let my bottom lip tremble, âCould you just⊠could I hold your hand?â I cringe internally at the insane request, but to my surprise it seems to convince them as they return to my side, kneeling on one knee and offering his right hand to me.
But thatâs not what I needed, so I winced and snatched both of my hands back to my hip. When he reaches for my hip with his left hand, I grip onto it as though it was the only thing keeping me from dying. To my shock, I feel what I was looking for. A ring on their ring finger, the same thickness and width as the one he always wore around his neck.
I freeze, not able to meet their eyes. Turns out I knew nothing of my boyfriend of three months. I pull my hand back as unobtrusively as possible, betrayal and horror coursing through my veins as I murmur, âSorry, you probably should go before the ambulance gets here.â
I watch as they pause, clearly thrown by my sudden change of heart. But when we hear sirens closing in from the distance, they shoot to their feet and briskly walk out of the alleyway, casually grabbing the sledgehammer they had left standing in the middle of the path as though it weighed nothing. I shivered at the comfort he handles the weapon with.
When the ambulance arrives, they asked me a multitude of questions, most I didnât know the answer to. When they asked me who was responsible for my wound, I just pointed a shaky finger towards the dumpster, âI think heâs in thereâŠâ
When questioned further about the second figure, I only gave vague answers, not anything that would be helpful in a search. Luckily for me, my swimming vision and pounding headache finally gave way to sweet unconsciousness, the blood loss finally catching up to me.
