Keiji counted out the yen in his hand before giving it to Kiyoomi.

Aria was already inside since she went off to play with the twins and this exchange was routine for her ever since Keiji picked up the job at the club six months ago. Kiyoomi would watch her the nights that he worked and Keiji was insistent on paying him despite Kiyoomi saying he really didn't mind when they were best friends. Keiji didn't care, he wasn't going use Kiyoomi for free labor when he already had three pups under the age of seven to mother and it's not like their family didn't need the extra cash.

"Thanks as always, Kiyoomi."

"Of course, Arashi and Akiro were excited for her to sleep over anyway, they've been wanting to watch Mulan since coming home from school and you know how interactive that experience can be."

"Ah yes, putting their budding acting skills to use as they recite every single line from heart."

"As well as replaying I'll make a man out of you approximately fifteen times in a row, maybe they'll hit a new record tonight." Kiyoomi sighed as Keiji snickered, "Have a good shift."

"As long as they keep throwing money at me, I will." Keiji glanced over to see Aria dragging in a huge blanket and the twins carrying pillows into the living room, "I'll see you in the morning, Ari, love you."

She looked over at the doorway from the sound of Keiji's voice, a perfect, smaller clone of Keiji with big blue eyes, curly hair, and cute button nose, "I love you too, mommy."

And then she was back to work at constructing this makeshift nest for them to watch Mulan and gorge on snacks and juice boxes. Aria had a bit of an independent side to her that began to show as she rarely threw tantrums when Keiji left her with Kiyoomi and she generally preferred to be alone with her own tools. Give it a couple more years and Keiji was sure she could be left alone if he was still working the night shift… in comparison to Arashi and Akiro who tried to fit inside of the oven.

Keiji has the picture that Atsumu took where Aria was sitting outside of the oven and the twins were telling her to shut the door and turn it on. They wanted to see how long they'd last. Aria just told Uncle Atsumu they were trying to set the apartment on fire instead. Kiyoomi does not know about that specific event because he was out with Rintarou, taking a break from dealing with the pups… and left them to his husband.

Keiji rode the elevator down to the ground floor and headed off to the train station with his earbuds in and some podcast playing. The evening was cool as he adjusted his scarf and had his hoodie pulled over his head, not too many people were on the trains at this time of night so he could set his bag in the seat next to him. His mood was… neutral, the club was decent source of income and he probably wouldn't have applied if it weren't for Rintarou suggesting it.

He used to be a bartender there a couple years back before he quit and he promised Keiji that everyone was cool, there weren't that many creeps, and even if Keiji couldn't dance worth a damn, they'd be willing to teach him. This was very true for Keiji since he grew up rather sheltered and his parents forced him to marry the alpha that knocked him up in his third year of high school. His work experience amounted to taking care of his pup and being a fucking maid for his useless ex husband who would bitch at him day in and day out.

Keiji was definitely intimidated on his first day since the person who interviewed him pretty much wanted him on the spot for his pretty face and sweet scent. You can learn the rest in your training period, don't worry. Koushi tutored him on the basics of pole dancing, walking in heels, and lap dances. Tooru was there to criticize his every move and told him to work on his confidence and non-existent seduction skills or else they'd just replace him with some other omega by the end of the month.

Keiji needed the money since he wasn't going to live on Rintarou's couch and Aria had to know that mommy could take care of them both without relying on an alpha. It was rough and Keiji had to break out of his comfort zone when it came to being a stripper, but he couldn't just sit on the kitchen floor and cry about it either. He observed the club environment, he watched his fellow coworkers on stage and how they interacted with customers, and he practiced whenever he could squeeze in the time to.

He managed to get enough for a deposit on an apartment that was just a floor below Kiyoomi's and with the steady flow of cash from his few regulars, he was able to keep his head above water. Keiji had other future goals for Aria and himself, but for now he was just happy they had a home and he could afford their bills and the rent… with the new year coming up in a few weeks, maybe Keiji could allow himself to be proud for once. From leaving an abusive relationship, reuniting with his best friends, and making his own money for the first time in his life.

For now, he had another shift to clock in at. The Silver Owl was a fairly popular strip club from what Keiji figured out in his time working here. The establishment attracted drunk salarymen, horny college kids, and big spenders who would hold their meetings in the private rooms. Keiji wound up being called into those meetings quite often because the suits loved his demure omega persona and his physical attributes were quite idealistic in their eyes.

Beautiful face, lean body, long legs with a perky ass and small tits too. He never really noticed himself in that way until Tooru and Tetsurou were both pointing it out in their own blunt way. Tooru had the alpha's viewpoint of what these men seek out when they just want to jerk off and pop a knot. Tetsurou was a fellow omega who struggled somewhat in his life due to his overall build and everyone assuming that he was an alpha —including Keiji, honestly—, but he learned how to weaponize and sexualize himself so these alphas would be drooling for him.

However, most of them didn't know that Tetsurou was an omega at all and that worked out in his favor when customers sought out an 'alpha' to throw their money at. Keiji considered that for himself, being vague about his second gender so they could project whatever fantasies they wanted on him. It's not as if he'd talk to any of these people outside of the club anyway.

Even if they tried to solicit his number or offered to pay for additional services. One, that was against the rules and two, Keiji wasn't too comfortable with randomly hooking up. Koushi did mention that if he ever sought out that line of work, he had some connections to help out Keiji to land some wealthy clients right away. That… might have been filed away.

Keiji entered the club through the back entrance as he often did and dug through his bag while strolling through the hallway, past a few other doors on the way to the dressing room. He spotted the pile of wrapped presents on one of the tables and set down a small box as well. It was Tetsurou's birthday and he'd spotted some dangling cat earrings that Tetsurou would likely fawn over.

There were a pair of owl earrings that Aria wanted too and Keiji spent a little more than he planned (he was a sucker for all the jewelry he owned), but anything to make his little girl happy. She was also the one who picked out those cat earrings, only knowing that it'd be a gift for a friend at work and he better like them or I'll steal them. Knowing Tetsurou and his love of cats…

"Eh, the rookie got me something?" Tetsurou grinned, he'd been looking down at his phone until noticing Keiji come in, "I feel so honored."

"Happy birthday, Tetsurou." Keiji replied as that grinned spread wider and now Tetsurou was expecting a hug from how his arms were being held out. Keiji could indulge him just this once.

"Thank you~ now I'm so curious about what the mysterious Sapphire got me."

"You'll have to find out whenever you open it."

"Not even a hint?" Tetsurou pouted as Keiji went to flick his forehead, "Mean!"

"Ari and I both picked it out for you, so if you hate it then you'll crush a little girls dreams and heart"' Keiji flatly replied.

"I would never do that to our princess, Keiji."

Keiji extracted himself from Tetsurou's arms and went over to the usual spot he sat at to get ready for the night, "Exactly, so you'll love it. Did you have a good time today?"

"I slept through half of it, but I woke up to the smell of smoke and my boyfriend trying to save the cake he was baking," Tetsurou smirked as he went to scroll through his phone, then leaned over to show Keiji the deformed, burned cake, "I still had a slice, but he ended up going out to buy a real cake and then we fucked."

"It's the thought that counts… not however that disaster tasted…" Keiji said as Tetsurou cackled.

"I'll eat anything he makes me, the food poisoning is only proof of his love for me."

Keiji snickered as he went to tug off his scarf and zipped down his hoodie, he already had an outfit in mind tonight. Nothing too special, just feeling like slipping on the schoolgirl uniform since it's been a while. Their other coworkers came in and out of the dressing room as Keiji wasn't too shy anymore about getting undressed with all the foot traffic around him, he also needed to do his makeup.

The atmosphere overall was good and celebratory as everyone adored Tetsurou, but he was also one of the veterans here along with Tooru and Koushi, so they wouldn't dare to openly disrespect him. Keiji kept to himself, hence the teasing over being so mysterious, he didn't care about the gossip or rumors over who was fucking whatever, he came here to work and sometimes people got miffed over that. Not his problem.

"Attention everyone, at least for a moment, we've got fresh meat." Matsukawa said as there was another omega standing by him, there were freckles all over his cheeks and a mop of green hair, "This is Yamaguchi, he'll be going up after Sapphire, be nice to him."

"Please take care of me." Yamaguchi bowed.

"What'd you get me for my birthday, Yama-chan?" Tetsurou immediately asked and Keiji saw the panic in Yamaguchi's eyes, ah here we go, "It's rude of you to crash my party when you don't have anything to offer… unless you want to put that pretty mouth to use."

"Uh—"

"He's one of Kei's friends, don't bully him too much, Panther." Issei slapped Yamaguchi's back as the omega squeaked.

"That doesn't deter me in the slightest." Tetsurou smirked, "but since it's his first day, I'll go easy on him, plus I'm going up with Keiji soon and he'll spank me if I'm late."

Keiji almost fucked up his eyeliner, but his hand remained steady as the other dancers greeted the new boy and honestly, Keiji didn't care to really introduce himself. What were the chances that Yamaguchi would last beyond a couple weeks or a month, there wasn't much point in wasting Keiji's time.

He finished his makeup, strapped on his heels, and looked over his skimpy outfit that amounted to a tiny plaid skirt, a white button down, and matching lingerie underneath with white thigh highs. Keiji never dressed this way outside of the club, he was a fan of cable knit sweaters, linen pants, and ankle length dresses that obscured his figure. His closet was filling up with clothes that he solely used for dancing and his parents would probably have a combined heart attack if they saw him now.

Seems Tetsurou wanted to follow the theme as he quickly switched into one their school uniforms and Keiji didn't expect Semi to follow his lead, but the quiet dancer also grabbed a uniform. He'd joined about a month before Keiji was hired and they still barely spoke, but they shared a… bond of sorts since they danced together so often and were requested for those business meetings. Personally, he liked Semi.

The three of them were soon on stage with the club DJ, Terushima, announcing them one by one. Panther, Sapphire, Lynx. The crowd was lively and drunk tonight, meaning more cash tossed in his direction and since he was sharing the stage with Tetsurou, they could rile them up with a bit of lewd touching and kissing. Everyone loved to see pretty boys kiss and grind on each other.

Keiji was kneeling in front of a group of alphas with one reaching forward to stick a wad of yen into the top of stocking when he caught the sight of their boss strolling in. His heart always skipped a beat at the sight of Bokuto Koutarou, the older alpha was flanked by Tsukishima and Konoha, the latter of which who interviewed him. They were all dressed in suits and headed off towards the office upstairs, Bokuto barely spared a glance at the dancers on stage or the people around the club.

Keiji had never spoken a single to him in the months he'd been employed here, but that didn't stop his crush forming and the warmth blooming in his chest each time he saw the alpha. He was fairly sure that Tetsurou had been involved with him at… some point, but then Tetsurou mentioned his boyfriend and well… that wasn't Keiji's business. Bokuto soon disappeared upstairs with the other two and Keiji could only wish that his boss would deign him worthy of a mere five minutes of attention.

That wasn't anything new though, plenty of his coworkers crushed on Bokuto and it almost felt like high school with them giggling over the most popular one in the club. Keiji never told anyone about this particular crush, however that didn't stop Koushi from sniffing it out when he caught Keiji staring one night. Koushi only teased him a little, it was hard not to fall for the dominant alpha.

There was also that whole… minor thing… about him being in the yakuza. Alright the club was ran by yakuza and sometimes the clan members would fill the joint up. Keiji noticed a few weeks into working here, there were the rough attitudes, the tattoos all over their arms, the uh… overheard conversations. No one told him this detail, not even Rintarou.

"Just don't piss them off and you won't get kidnapped and killed, easy."

Keiji was still dancing here, so he was doing something right.

Soon he left the stage and had to do a couple private dances. One was a regular who loved to hear his own voice, he worked in real estate and would complain about everyone he knew. Keiji would just nod and grind his ass down on his crotch like a good omega. The second was someone who came by every once in a while, the quiet type who liked to watch and Keiji allowed him the rare opportunity to touch him as well.

His hands explored Keiji's waist, his ass, his thighs as the omega rolled with the beat of the music and he could smell just how aroused this alpha was, but he had enough self control. And money, he was loaded and would give Keiji a fat tip with a polite thank you before leaving the club. The kind of alpha that made Keiji wonder if they met anywhere else, maybe they'd end up dating… or fucking at least once.

Keiji headed back into the main room after storing his cash in his bag and scanned the crowd to see that Bokuto was still here, his attention honed in on another dancer. Shimizu was perched in his lap as his hand held her waist and the alpha whispered something in her ear. A burst of jealousy erupted in Keiji's stomach as that was always the dancer that Bokuto came to see and took into one of the private rooms.

In recent weeks, that is.

Keiji had no opinion of Shimizu beforehand as their shifts were usually opposite of each other and Koushi was best friends with her, but now he really couldn't help how envious he felt. That should be me… Keiji watched as Shimizu scooted off of Bokuto's lap and took him by the hand, her smile was soft and the alpha was clearly excited for what was going to happen next. Keiji ducked off towards the bar so he wouldn't be too obvious about his gawking and someone else slid into the seat beside him.

"Still hoping that Bokuto will notice you?"

Keiji spared at glare at Issei who just smirked back at him, "… No. I'm perfectly fine just watching him drool over someone else."

"Smells like it." Issei summoned for the bartender to get them a couple drinks as Keiji was quick to reel in his pheromones, ugh he's not a teenager anymore.

"Are they dating?"

"Nah, he has his favorites that he cycles through, Kiyoko also broke up with her last boyfriend so…" Issei said, "He's fuckin' her until Ryuu gets his shit together. Not that Ryuu knows that."

"I don't even know who that is." Keiji replied as the bartender set down their drinks and Issei raised his, encouraging Keiji to do the same.

"This is to… Tetsurou's birthday and a night without me having to drag some drunk bastard out onto the street." Issei declared while their glasses clinked together and Keiji downed most of his, "Damn, you want me to order you another?"

"I'm fine, just seeing Bokuto reminds me that… I haven't gotten laid in months." Keiji grumbled, he'd been far too busy with everything going on in his life to even consider dating or finding someone just to fuck him, "It's only gotten worse and worse and it's not as if I can just… approach my own boss to knot me, that's unprofessional."

"Extremely," Issei said, taking a slower sip of his drink, "If you're looking for a quick fuck, I'm not opposed to helping you out."

Rejection was automatically on Keiji's tongue, but was there a point in denying himself when the last person he had sex with was his ex husband? Issei was attractive, he didn't run his mouth, he respected Keiji's boundaries in the time they'd known each other. In the end it was just sex. Getting off with someone else. Having an alpha hopefully take care of him.

"… I'm willing to take you up on that."

"Seriously?" Issei blurted out, his eyes were wide with surprise, "I wasn't— you know what, I'm not going to ruin this. We can head back to my place after our shifts end."

"If you didn't mean it—"

"I want to, I want you." Issei lowered his voice as he leaned in, his hand was warm on Keiji's bare thigh, "I'll take whatever you want to give me, Keiji."

"Right now, I need another drink and a good fucking after work." Keiji felt that hand squeeze his thigh and musk of Issei's scent curl around him, "I have to leave by six though."

"I'll drop you off, it's chill."

Keiji didn't see Bokuto again that evening, Koushi surprised Tetsurou with a cake as they sang him happy birthday and watched him open his presents, and Issei waited for him out in the parking lot once Keiji changed back into his casual clothing.

… Yeah, he still wanted to do this.

Keiji was back in front of his apartment complex a little after six am as Issei promised.

"If you ever wanna hook up again, you know where I am."

No strings attached. Casual. Keiji could do that if it meant using Issei stress relief and a distraction from his own life. The rare silence in his head as he traced the ink on Issei's skin when they cuddled afterwards, the raw satisfaction that came from having a big knot inside of his cunt. Issei was more than good, so much better than his ex… but Keiji felt as if that wasn't a high bar to clear.

Nonetheless, Keiji needed to shower and get rid of Issei's lingering scent, he'd then go up a floor to pick up Aria and with any luck, she would be in a clingy mood to nap with mommy. Saturdays were a bit more relaxed without school to worry about and Keiji could possibly, maybe, get some writing in… who knows. Fuck, he actually had to text said ex husband to remind him that he'd be taking Aria next weekend because god forbid that man actually remembered by himself.

One thing at a time, but at least he got laid.

"We're going to the park today and Rin is bringing Yoshiro, you're welcome to join us." Aria was still somewhat sleepy and in her pajamas as Kiyoomi walked them to the door, "Or I can take Aria and you can get some rest."

"I need the fresh air, I can sneak in a nap before work."

"Mmm, I'll see you at around… one?"

With today's plans made… Keiji was actually looking forward to spending time with his fellow omegas and their pups. Aria was still plenty drowsy and crawled right into Keiji's nest, wanting her mother to join her too. It was the moments like these… where Keiji knew that Aria was safe and comfortable and didn't have a single worry in her tiny life.

He wanted to shelter her from it all, for as long as he could.

»To Naoki

you're taking aria next weekend btw

and i still need child support for this month

"Heads up, the club is full of yakuza tonight."

That was just the greeting Keiji needed as he walked into the dressing room after escaping the blistering and howling freezing winds outside. He considered just skipping this shift to stay home with Aria because he didn't want to deal with the weather and he was just, tired. Keiji never called out or used a single sick day, he just braved through all of it and perhaps the entire year was catching up with him.

It really didn't help that his ex was flip flopping on if he wanted to take Aria over the holidays or not, Keiji would've loved a solid answer last month, but that fucker was the king of procrastinating. Why did Keiji even bother putting in any effort for that useless alpha to maintain some sort of relationship with his pup? It's always on the omega to do anything.

"Is Takuji here?" Keiji asked as he went over to his usual spot and went to change out of his clothing and into… fuck, whatever he'll just grab something from the racks here. He'd been in a rush when leaving and completely forgot to pack some sort of outfit, but there were plenty of clothes here to choose from.

"Unfortunately." Semi replied from a couple seats away.

"Bokuto is here too, so they've mostly been behaved." Koushi chimed in.

"Until they get one of us alone." Keiji murmured as he went for some glittery gold booty shorts and a white bikini set.

"He's been ogling Yamaguchi all night, but I don't think he's brave enough to touch him with Kei here." Koushi said, "With any luck he'll pass out from all the alcohol he's been slamming tonight."

"I think that's asking too much," Keiji went to pull off his coat and sweater, "You know once that alpha sees me, he's going to break out in a rut on the spot."

That got a few laughs from his coworkers because it was true in a sense, every time Takuji came to the club, he sought out Keiji and begged for his attention. Keiji was polite enough about servicing him and keeping him company when the alpha was here, but he definitely breathed a sigh of relief when Issei causally mentioned that Takuji would be in Osaka for a few weeks.

And now he was back, along with the other clan members. Keiji would have to mask his dislike for that clingy alpha and plaster on his pleasant smile because this shift was about to be a nightmare. He stalled long enough when doing his makeup and listened to the passing gossip about one of their regular customers cheating on his wife and got busted when she pulled up in the parking lot. Keiji kinda wished he was there for that one.

Tetsurou was leaving the stage as Keiji came on with Semi and Koushi. There were drunk hoots and hollers as Keiji strolled down the catwalk and went to wrap his slender fingers around the pole. Takuji was shoving the others out of the way to grab a seat at the stage, completely ignoring poor Yamaguchi now, probably a good thing.

Keiji tried not to let his gaze wander… or search for Bokuto… if anything he was occupied with Shimizu or one of the other girls. Keiji's job was dealing with Takuji so nobody else would be tormented with this immature alpha and at this point, Keiji was an expert in this. He maintained sultry eye contact, he gave Takuji sweet smiles, he worked the pole with all the skills he'd learned and Takuji was clapping like a fucking seal.

Alphas were so easy.

"I've missed you, Sapphire, think you can give me a dance after this?" Takuji grinned, his breath stank of alcohol, Keiji wanted to slap away the hand that lingered on his thigh once Takuji stuffed a few yen in the lace white garter.

"Of course, where've you been?"

"Eh, they had me all the way down in Osaka for some shit, I was thinking of you everyday." Takuji winked and went to grope himself as Keiji resisted rolling his eyes, "but I got paid real good, I'll take care of you, omega."

"Tell me about your trip, okay?" Keiji flashed a soft smile and Takuji's stinky pheromones were all over the air. Disgusting, but this did mean more money in Keiji's pocket. He could spend it on more presents for his daughter, that would get him through this situation.

Keiji left the stage about fifteen minutes later with Takuji following him like puppy on an invisible leash. A private dance tended to be around thirty minutes, longer if the customer paid for more time and Keiji mentally braced himself for an hour or more with Takuji. He was going to have those grimy hands all over him, the horrible dirty talk, and having not to vomit from his awful scent…

Keiji was a professional, he could handle this.

Everything started off normal as Keiji turned on the music and Takuji was grabbing for him to be on his lap within seconds. He zoned out a bit as muscle memory kicked in with grinding on his thigh and running his hands over Takuji's chest and giving one word answers to the alpha's rambling and whatever the fuck he was saying. Did Issei have plans after this? They had a little arrangement going since the first time they fucked and there were no complaints so far on either side—

"H-hey! What the fuck?" Keiji blurted out as Takuji shoved his hand into his shorts and groped his ass. Keiji tried to push himself off of Takuji's lap, but the alpha just forced him closer and wrapped his bigger hand around his neck.

"You said you missed me, yeah? Let me give you the knot you've been waiting for, baby."

…

Oh, this was not happening.

Takuji pressed his lips against Keiji's in a brutal kiss as the fingers in his shorts pushed lower and he was pumping out his scent in an attempt to coax Keiji into submission. It might have worked if his ex hadn't done the exact same thing countless times just to get Keiji to shut up and behave. He knew this was a possibility, some alpha crossing the line because they only saw him as a thing to fuck and nothing more… but most of them were terrified of the yakuza coming down on them.

Takuji was yakuza, so who was going to stop him from taking what he wanted? He went to pin Keiji down on the couch as Keiji stamped out the rising panic within him, he wouldn't go down without a fight. Worst case scenario… Aria would end up with his parents.

Takuji had gotten far too carried away with burying his nose in Keiji's neck to huff his now soured scent as the omega wrapped his leg around Takuji's waist and rolled them both over onto the floor. Takuji was caught off guard by Keiji now straddling him, but the alcohol made his reflexes slow and sluggish and he barely had time to stop Keiji from unsheathing the knife in his belt holster. The alpha showed it off plenty of times, loved to brag about how many people he'd gutted with it. Apparently his father gifted it to him, or something.

Keiji was only guided by a cool, intense rage that overtook his brain and survival instincts when he drove the blade directly into Takuji's right eye socket. The alpha let out a satisfying scream as he tried to push Keiji off of him, but the taller omega wasn't budging as he yanked the knife out by the hilt and kept stabbing him, over and over. Keiji's omega didn't react to alphas anymore once the bond was severed with his ex and after taking self-defense classes with Rintarou and Kiyoomi, Keiji refused to let himself to be weak and timid ever again.

He doesn't know who rushed in to pull him off, he just wanted Takuji to never take another breath or even have the ability to hurt another omega in his disgusting life. There were all sorts of voices and people and his hands were covered in Takuji's blood. Someone must've been strong enough to hold him back as Keiji was tunnel visioned into that bloody and injured alpha on the floor, his omega howling to tear him apart limb by limb.

"Keiji! Keiji, I need you to calm the fuck down. Listen to me, it's done, it's over." Tetsurou's voice and calming scent filled his senses, "The rest of you get out of here, especially if you're an alpha, fuck off."

It took a moment for Keiji to notice his surroundings… the staff restroom? He only caught a brief glimpse in the mirror to see that much more than his hands were soaked with blood. Tetsurou took him by the jaw to fix those worried hazel eyes on him.

"Are you with me? Can you hear me, Keiji?" Tetsurou's voice was soft now, his scent did wonders in easing Keiji out of his blind rage and into… whatever this tranquility was.

"Yeah… I'm… he tried to fuck me, but I didn't want to." Keiji murmured, "I kinda just… I didn't want his hands on me at all. I wasn't going to let him."

"I know, I had a feeling that asshole tried something." Tetsurou sighed, "I was the one who convinced Kou to send him to Osaka, but I didn't think he'd jump you once he came back."

"You did?" Keiji blinked back at Tetsurou.

"I'm not as loud as Tooru about protecting you guys, but I have some sway around here, love." Tetsurou smirked and pulled back a bit to look over the blood that stained Keiji's body, "… Let's take care of that and get you some actual clothes, hm?"

"… Is Bokuto going to kill me?"

"No, but… Takuji was one of his closer men… so he'll probably punish you in some way." Tetsurou honestly answered as Keiji expected something like this, "Kou can be unpredictable at times, but you tell him what happened and keep your mouth shut otherwise, we can hope for the best."

"Right… right, let's get this over with."

There were a line of showers that Keiji used a handful of times when the scent of an alpha was too strong, but this time he was watching the blood run down the drain. His body was here while his mind was elsewhere… bracing himself for how Bokuto, his yakuza boss, would react to some stripper stabbing his friend. There were too many horrible ways this could end up and was escape even an option? Tetsurou didn't bother offering the opportunity.

He fucked up, but he wouldn't take it back.

Tetsurou must've gone through his bag since his clothes from earlier were sitting on the counter and Keiji was quick about slipping them on. Tetsurou gave him a tight hug afterwards and Keiji's mind was still… empty. Waiting for the worst to come. He absolutely did this to himself, he knew the risk… but Takuji wasn't going to get away with this.

"Good luck." Tetsurou whispered as they stood in front of Bokuto's office.

Keiji pushed open the door to head inside and immediately spotted the alpha lounging on his couch, cigarette lit in one hand with his legs spread. The buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned just enough to reveal the silver hairs on his chest and his blazer was missing. Rings decorated his thick fingers and a gold chain circled his neck, even now that Keiji was in hot water, he couldn't deny how sexy Bokuto was.

"Come on in, pretty boy."

Keiji quietly shut the door behind him and walked across the room to stand a few feet away from the relaxed yakuza. He had no clue what to say or do, was he supposed to apologize for defending himself? Well, probably if he wanted to walk out of here with all of his limbs and fingers intact.

"Ain't ever see an omega lose their fucking mind like that in my life, especially not one like you," Bokuto's golden eyes were locked on Keiji as he took a drag, "Couldn't even command you to calm the fuck down, bet you would've gone on a sexy little killing spree."

"Is he dead?" Keiji probably shouldn't have spoken in the first place, but at this point, what did he have to lose?

"I don't think Yukie will be able to save his eye, but… it's wait and see for now." Bokuto said, "How'd it make you feel?"

"… What?"

"Pushing the knife in his skull, was it good for you?" Bokuto's smirk was… confusing, Keiji didn't know what he should reply with, "Getting to hear his screams, overpowering an alpha? The smell of his blood in the air… or do you regret it?"

"I…" Keiji could lie, beg for forgiveness, claim that he was hysterical from pre-heat or something ridiculous, but there was something in Bokuto's wide gaze, "… I won't regret nearly killing someone who tried to force himself onto me, whether they're yakuza or not. I did what I had to in the moment to survive… I wasn't going to simply lay there."

"I like this side of you Keiji, I could use that." Bokuto remarked, taking another drag of his cigarette as Keiji wondered just where this conversation was headed, "You have so much hidden potential… I wanna coax it out of you."

"I don't understand…"

"Do you feel guilty at all?"

"Not exactly…" Keiji replied, "Although I came here expecting you to… punish me, so I haven't had time to really process any of this."

"See, usually people are begging on their knees, coming up with a dozen excuses, claiming they'll pay me back with money they'll never have…" Bokuto listed off, "but I don't smell any fear on you, you're so calm about all of this… despite all that rage from earlier. It's got me so curious about you, Akaashi Keiji."

Was that a good or bad thing?

"I'm going to have Kei contact you in a week, you can take the job or not, there's no pressure." Bokuto said as he stubbed the cigarette out on the ash tray, "I'll take care of this mess that you created for me in the meantime."

"What… sort of job?" Keiji asked, "I don't kill people, I'm not a murder."

"Of course not! That's how we all start," Bokuto grinned, his alpha canines in full, glorious view, "I just need a replacement since the last guy… eh, he didn't know how to follow the rules. You look like someone who plays by the book, correct?"

"Yes…"

"Great! One week, Keiji. No need to take it on if you're too weak for it." Bokuto said, "You can leave now, but think about it! You don't want to be a stripper forever, do you?"

How can Keiji think on it if he had no clue what he was doing? Was that how the yakuza worked? … Probably, who else was going to question someone as powerful as Bokuto?

Keiji took his exit while it was given to him and all he wanted to do was collapse into his nest. Just… what the fuck was tonight? His rage… Keiji didn't have anger issues, he just wanted to protect himself. That's all.

midnight

It took a moment for the text to click for Keiji, but a week certainly passed by without further incident or anyone else coming to bother him. He went home that same night, crashed out in his nest, woke up to pick up Aria, made her breakfast and sent her off to school. The memories lingered of Keiji thrusting the knife into his eyeball and Koushi told him that he could sit out for the week, or as long as he needed.

He wrote, he spent time with Aria, he hung out with his friends, he did errands and such. Everything in his life was completely normal, as if he didn't stab an alpha multiple times. He didn't feel guilt nor regret… he didn't have some kind of mental breakdown… he kinda just went on with life knowing that Takuji wouldn't be stupid enough to touch him again.

He still didn't know if the alpha was alive or not.

And this job… he could say no and leave it at that.

But… he'd finally gotten Bokuto's attention on him. Bokuto saw potential in him, whatever that actually meant, Keiji could use this to get closer to him. Impress alpha. Receive more of alpha's praise. A bit twisted, isn't it?

i'll be there

Keiji's plans for the day were fairly light, they were going over Rintarou's house with the pups and Keiji could probably suggest a sleepover. Yoshiro was Aria's favorite of the Miya family and those two were constantly clinging to each other like a pair of cute and shy introverts. Naoki finally responded to Keiji's texts on Wednesday so Aria would be spending two weeks with him in Sendai starting on Monday.

Keiji hated being away from his pup, but honestly this was the break he desperately needed. Hopefully whatever Bokuto wanted him to do wasn't too troublesome…

Keiji had known Kiyoomi since elementary, they both attended the same school and lived in different neighborhoods, but their friendship never dwindled even in Keiji's absence. They met Rintarou, Atsumu, and Osamu in high school, although the twins went to an alpha high school and they managed to mingle through the parties that Rintarou took them to. Keiji got pregnant at seventeen, married Naoki and dropped out of school to move in with his new husband who didn't see education as useful for an omega.

Fast forward to early this February and Keiji showed up at Rintarou's door with the clothes on his back and Aria holding his hand. Rintarou didn't ask any questions as his family took them in and Keiji was just thankful that Rintarou sent him a message after he bought this place with Osamu. It was difficult enough for Keiji to stay in contact with his friends given how Naoki would take away his phone for weeks on end, but all it took was the alpha going out for one night for Keiji to make a break for it.

He would always consider Rintarou and Kiyoomi to be his real family as his parents would've just insisted he went back to his ex and fixed everything between them. It was all Keiji's fault for not acting like the submissive omega he was born to be and not Naoki for sleeping with a teenager when he should've been doing quite literally anything else. The only good thing to come out of that relationship was Aria and that's why Keiji kept pushing through everyday, never wanting to give up for her sake.

And now… he was probably going to do something highly illegal.

Rintarou didn't mind watching all of the pups, despite his aversion to ever having more than one (much to Osamu's disappoint), he loved his little nieces and nephews. Kiyoomi and Atsumu would get the apartment to themselves and Keiji was casual about saying he'd just sleep in. Or with the hot bouncer from work, either way none of them had a clue.

Keiji did kill some time with a short nap before heading out and seeking this address that seemed to be across the city. He tried not to let his nerves get to him as he found himself in a mostly empty parking lot where someone was sitting on the hood of one of the lone cars here. They had a phone in their hand and hoodie covering up their head, Keiji didn't know if this was the person he was meeting up with, but… no one else was here…

"Um… excuse me?"

The person glanced up from their phone, the lower half of their face was obstructed with a dark mask, only revealing their golden, catlike eyes, "… Are you the new guy?"

"Yes? Tsukishima sent me this address…"

"Oh…" They gave Keiji a once over as the sounds of their game broke the silence in the night, "… They're just sending anyone, I guess."

Keiji wasn't sure how to respond as they went back to their game and he just… awkwardly stood there fiddling with the strings of his own hoodie. A few of the stores around were still open, there was a winter chill in the air, and no one else to be seen. Now what?

"Was there something I was supposed to do?"

"Mmm… he didn't tell you anything?"

"No."

They clicked their tongue with a small sigh, they were in the middle of an ongoing battle as the sounds of spells and swords came from their phone, "That's one method… uh, what's your name?"

"Aka— Sapphire."

"Wait, you're the guy who went berserk on Takuji?" They blinked up from their phone with a hint of interest in their eyes, "I thought you would be more…"

"… What?"

"Bigger, scruffy, uglier." They said before slipping their phone into their pocket, "I see why Bo picked you for this, just hope you last longer than my previous coworker."

"Do I want to know what happened?"

"Idiot who got high on someone else's supply." They left the hood of the car and Keiji noted that they were shorter than him, "And skimming cash from the top and… some other bullshit that doesn't matter now. You can call me Kodzuken."

"Kodzuken…" Keiji let the name roll off of his tongue as Kodzuken dug something else out of his pocket, "Can I ask you what we're doing?"

"Deliveries, collection, selling product." Kodzuken simply replied as Keiji was quick to pick up on what that meant, "I don't mind doing this alone, but Bo insists that I have someone else with me, so you're the winner."

"Ah… like a bodyguard?"

"Whatever you want to make of it as long as you don't get in my way." Kodzuken tossed a pair of keys at him as Keiji barely caught them, "We'll be doing deliveries first, then setting up at a club. I'm only going to give you the run down about this shit once, so pay attention."

Keiji nodded as Kodzuken went off to open the passenger door and he hurried into the driver's seat. From his short stature and small build, Keiji would assume this guy was an omega too… or a beta from the lack of any scent. He just watched them put an address into the GPS and pull out his phone once again, guess he was going to play as the taxi driver tonight.

It wasn't all that bad, actually. Kodzuken would leave for a moment with whatever happened to be in their bag, Keiji waited in the car, Kodzuken would come back and another address was punched in. Kodzuken kept himself busy with his mobile games and Keiji was fairly relaxed behind the wheel, even if it's been a long while since he drove any sort of vehicle.

"So… I have weed, cocaine, and a load of party pills, you'll be on the first floor while I'm on the second. I'll deal with the pills for now, if you come back then I'll go over them." Kodzuken said as he dug through his bag and showed Keiji a few baggies that were filled with white powder, "Your job is very, very simple. I already have a guy inside who will direct people towards you. They ask for blow, you sell it to them. Got it?"

"Yep."

"Cash only, no sex, no favors, no giving into some pretty face or whatever the fuck." Kodzuken popped open the dashboard to take out a burner phone, "You'll text me on this if there's anything weird or someone tries to get in your face. Don't do anything stupid, repeat that to me."

"I won't do anything stupid."

"Great, leave your personal shit in here and… we'll be good to go in a few."

"What if…" Keiji started as Kodzuken raised an eyebrow, "What if there's security or police?"

"They won't be busting this club anytime soon, we're going underground, Sapphire."

Right… this was probably owned by yakuza as well, Keiji could definitely sell drugs without screwing that up. Kodzuken went over the various prices per ounce, they also told Keiji he could overcharge if they were drunk enough already. Or looked rich and dumb. Or were just a straight up asshole. Any reason, really.

Keiji followed Kodzuken as they'd parked a block away from this club and Kodzuken ignored the line in favor of walking right up to the much taller bouncer posted at the door. He didn't hesitate to let Kodzuken in and soon Keiji was greeted by the loud bass and neon lights that he was fairly used to by now. Instead of dancers on stage, they were up in cages and high platforms.

Kodzuken tugged Keiji down by his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Don't fuck this up."

That was extremely reassuring as Kodzuken wandered upstairs and Keiji just… well, he'll just find somewhere to blend into and sip on a drink until anyone approached him. He had a vague feeling that there were dealers in the strip club too since some of the dancers liked to get high on the clock. Keiji didn't care much either way, his only experience with drugs was smoking with his best friends from time to time when they were pup free.

His very first customers were three girls who were buzzed from their shots and the club environment, they said someone at the bar mentioned that he had some favors. The exchange was quick and easy, the girls were excited to snort their way through the night, and Keiji's pocket would be burning with yen. And this same exchange occurred over and over and over.

It was a rather diverse crowd too, looking to enhance their time at this club and Keiji didn't even have to take off his clothes. Some people were flustered by how pretty he was and others were flirty in that please give me free coke way, but Keiji didn't budge on them. By the time Kodzuken texted him, his own inventory was nearly wiped clean and he slipped out through one of the back exits.

"Not bad." Kodzuken murmured as he counted through the stack of yen. This was probably the most praise he would give, "This is a normal night, I'll go to a club or party or gambling hall… whatever, and sell what I have."

"That sounds… easy? I don't know why he would pick me for that."

"You're pretty, but unassuming. Koutarou has targets all around this city and they wouldn't expect someone like you." Kodzuken said, "You could probably fuck your way in anywhere, I'm actually surprised he isn't using you for that."

"I don't…" Keiji lowered his voice even as they were alone in the dark alleyway, "I don't kill people!"

"But you'll sell them addictive drugs?" Kodzuken flatly replied as Keiji wanted to argue against that, "I don't care about your morals or whatever the fuck you have going on, but if he orders a hit on someone and you stall, that's going to be your problem. Not mine."

"I'm not like the rest of you, I'm not even in the yakuza!"

"Then why are you here?" Kodzuken stuffed the money in his bag and looped it over his shoulder, "It's always a pain in the ass when I'm stuck with the new guys, wasting my fucking time."

Kodzuken grumbled under his breath as he left the alley and Keiji hurried to follow him. Why I here? Keiji was curious, he wanted to impress alpha, he wanted to try anything new. Diving deeper into the yakuza though… that did mean hurting people. Torturing them. Killing them.

"Look just— I had no idea what I was getting into, I'm not crazy about the whole… you know, but if I can stay on Bokuto's good side I wouldn't mind continuing our work together." Keiji said as they passed by a group of people, "That's why I'm here, I… I want a chance with him."

Kodzuken was silent until they reached the car and Keiji really thought he'd managed to piss the other one off. He turned around to look up at Keiji with an unreadable expression.

"You want to fuck him?"

"Preferably the other way around, but yes."

"And you're willing to kill for him?"

"… If it came down to that… yes."

Kodzuken glanced away as Keiji heard a giggle from underneath that mask, "I was only messing with you, but you must be incredibly desperate for him."

"Are you serious?" Keiji huffed, Kodzuken couldn't hide his laughter now.

"It's just so easy with a rookie and you're honest about everything," Kodzuken was definitely smiling under his mask, "but wanting to join us because you want Koutarou's knot, oh my god."

"It's not funny! I don't even know what other crimes I'll be forced to commit."

"You're a stripper, why didn't you just show him your tits and give him a lap dance?"

"Because he always ignored me and went after the girls, apparently stabbing someone was the way to get his attention."

That just made Kodzuken laugh even harder… and Keiji realized the humor of the situation he's in. Ugh, this is ridiculous.

"Okay, okay… let me just…" A few more giggles escaped from Kodzuken, "I'm not an assassinating machine nor do I like to get my hands dirty, but Koutarou has… certain goals. Certain foes out there. He sees something in you that'll help him achieve it."

"I see…"

"And maybe along the way he'll fuck you, I don't know." Kodzuken tossed the bag into the backseat and shut the door, "I do like you so far though, you follow directions and you're nice eye candy when I'm bored."

"Let me tell you about the Silver Owl club, then." Keiji replied as Kodzuken let out another cute giggle.

"I'll drive you home, we've had a successful night."

Aria was taking a happy sip of her hot chocolate as Keiji skimmed through his email and saw one from the school about their little league sports. Baseball, basketball, tennis, swimming, volleyball. Aria was far more interested in taking out a giant stack of books from the library and reading in a quiet corner more than being physically active, but maybe Keiji should encourage her to try out something.

Atsumu had been teaching the pups about volleyball since they could walk and Aria was not spared from his enthusiasm. It honestly surprised Keiji that Atsumu didn't go pro, but with Kiyoomi pregnant straight out of high school, he moved to Tokyo to work at his dad's mechanic garage and eventually became a co-owner. His passion for volleyball was still obvious as he loved to go to whatever games he could and brought the whole family with him.

"Ari, if you wanted to sign up for a sport, what would you pick?"

"Mmm…" Aria lightly shrugged, "I dunno, Arashi really likes volleyball and said I should set for him so…"

"What about a sport without the twins?"

That took her a little longer to think about, her nose and cheeks were pink from the cold, but she wanted to sit outside at the patio because she loved this weather, "… Tennis?"

"Because of the anime?"

Aria instantly nodded with a smile before going to grab her cup of hot chocolate again, "It's fun!"

"I'll sign you up for lessons next month, maybe you'll like it." Keiji said as could already imagine Atsumu's reaction. He'll have to text their group chat later, for now it was mommy and daughter time with no other distractions. Keiji missed her so badly over the winter break, but on the flip side it was the first time in fucking ages that he didn't have someone else to look after.

He picked up a few shifts at the club, he did a couple more test runs with Kodzuken and he still hadn't seen Bokuto since… the stabbing. What did Bokuto do outside of the club? What was his daily schedule like with the yakuza? Hm… Keiji just wanted to see him again.

They did some shopping after leaving the bakery, Keiji had extra cash from the cut that Kodzuken gave him from the last time they met up and he knew that was automatically going to spoil his angel. She already had an insane collection of plushies and pillows, but there was never enough for her nest and despite having to wait another eight or nine years before she presented, Keiji could assume she'd be an omega. Aria was very much like him when he was a small pup, except she wasn't scared of disappointing her own mother.

Once they got back to the apartment, Aria disappeared into her room and Keiji went to check through his messages on his burner phone that he kept in his drawer by his bed.

It's a bit odd visiting the club during the daylight, he had to text Konoha about the opening hours since he really didn't remember when it did open. Normally he would've been fine with waiting until much later to drop by, but after picking up that package… he didn't want to be in possession of that much cash for long. Keiji considered the numbers in his head while out with Kodzuken and how much product they usually sold together, however having the actual result in his hand now…

… And this didn't belong to him. Or Kodzuken. Bokuto gained the most from their efforts. There's something to be said about capitalism here, but Keiji was too busy waiting for noon to roll around and hoping to every known deity that some policeman wouldn't suddenly start questioning him about the large amount of yen on his person. Keiji was great at internalizing his panic when it mattered, he could schedule the meltdown after all this money was in Bokuto or Konoha's hands. Someone that wasn't him. Anyone.

His nerves calmed the moment he walked into the club, his second home at this point in life. He didn't question why there were already customers here on a Thursday afternoon, but it did make him somewhat curious about the day shift crew. It might've been kinder to his own schedule if he danced during the day and into the early evening, however the cash was far better on weekend nights.

Keiji headed straight up to Bokuto's office as Konoha said just to leave the package there, he wouldn't have any Koushis or Toorus to distract him either so he could go back home too. No one answered the door when Keiji knocked, however it was unlocked so he just assumed Konoha left it like that. In and out, easy as—

"Hi Akaashi!"

"What the fuck?!" Keiji yelped as he swiftly turned around, "Were you just… hiding in the corner?!"

"I wanted to see if I could scare you since you're so unshakeable!" Bokuto grinned, "Whenever you're on stage or with Ken-Ken, you're super cool and composed!"

"You've been watching me?"

"I have eyes everywhere! And I've gotten raving reviews from Ken-Ken, he thinks you're a perfect pick for the family." Bokuto approached Keiji with sheer happiness radiating from his pheromones and the omega had never seen an alpha so… bright…

"I haven't done anything remarkable, I just follow his orders and… sell whatever he gives me…" Keiji is tempted to step back, but he has a feeling Bokuto doesn't know what personal space is. Not like it's a bad thing, doesn't he want Bokuto to be close to him? To see him as more than… some random stripper at the club? Or at all.

"You'd be surprised how many people think they can get away with disrespecting them or have some ulterior motive because they wanna trick me, however if he trusts you, then I can too."

Given Kenma's quiet demeanor and small stature… yeah Keiji understood why someone would think they're easy to take advantage of. Bokuto though? You'd have to be an idiot to attempt crossing such a strong and dominant alpha…

"I… can see that." Keiji remembered the package in his hands and held it out for Bokuto, "I only came to deliver this, I don't want to take up more of your time."

"Ah… thanks!" Bokuto took the package and… tossed it over in the direction of the couch, "I was actually wanting to ask if you'd let me train you, personally."

"In what, exactly?"

"Combat, stuff like hand to hand, shooting a gun, knife fights, all of that so you can properly protect yourself out there in case anyone gets any other funny ideas."

Why can't you train me to be a cock slut instead?

"Kodzuken mentioned that you may want to use me as a hit man in the future."

"Well, that too, but I didn't know if you were ready for that yet. So will you let me?" Bokuto was beaming with a smile and Keiji should probably be way more concerned. Or hesitant. He took the job at the strip club so he could get his life back together with a relatively easy stream of cash… maybe he'd enroll into college, get a degree, a normal job like the rest of society.

And yet, Bokuto wanted to completely de-rail his life. He seemed to have little to no interest in fucking Keiji, he wanted to use him as another tool in the yakuza. He was rather straightforward and blunt about his intentions at least… Keiji would also have a reason to spend time with him outside of the club.

"… Sure, I'm only available on weekend nights though. And I can't have it cut into my dancing either, I need the shifts for my check."

"It's fine, I'll pay you to train! This is going to be so awesome, Akaashi, you're going to be learning from the best." Bokuto dared to flex his arms with a proud smile and Keiji might have heard just the tiniest whimper from his omega. It could've been from his own voice, who knows.

All this for Bokuto's ultra platonic attention…

it is the 17th.

Keiji took several gulps of his water bottle as he leaned back on the wall while Koutarou was caught up in a phone call, giving him a vital break from being tossed around like a sack of rice. Okay in reality it wasn't that bad, Keiji had visibly and physically improved in the weeks that he'd spent under Bokuto's intense tutelage. The alpha barely held back his own strength and didn't care if Keiji was an omega, he was getting the full throttle of Bokuto's capabilities and Keiji would just have to deal with it.

And he did, very… very well. So extremely well in fact that whenever he ran his fingers over a new bruise somewhere on his body, the slight ache of pain made him wet in his panties. All of this physical contact, Bokuto teaching Keiji other self defense moves, the grapples, the take downs, the body slams…. oh god getting slammed onto his back and Bokuto pinning him down on the mat. Those triple duty scent patches and extra strength blockers were doing an incredible amount of heavy lifting so Bokuto wouldn't smell just how damn aroused Keiji was for every session they spent together.

There was also the praise Bokuto would heap onto the omega, he wasn't a 'tough love' or 'screaming builds character' type of mentor, he was enthusiastic about literally everything Keiji did and would positively correct him when he did anything wrong. Keiji was quick to pick things up though, he was already somewhat in shape from dancing for six months and Bokuto pointed out specific parts of his body he could strengthen up with a consistent workout routine. Keiji took every word as gospel because he was fucking gone for this alpha and he would allow himself to be molded into a perfect little weapon for Bokuto to use… and fuck if he ever asked. Or didn't ask and just took.

Keiji would take anything at this point, Issei was a decent distraction, however he wasn't enough when Keiji has been spending nearly every Saturday and Sunday night at this gym with Bokuto. He'd get off his shift at around one am and sometimes Issei would drive him to the gym or it would be one of Bokuto's other subordinates like Komi or Sarukui. The training session would then last two hours at minimum, maybe longer if Keiji had a burst of energy and was too focused to notice the time.

It was something new and exciting to look forward to at the end of a long week, it made Keiji forget about everything plaguing him outside and he could just… take orders from Bokuto. He was also still dealing on the side with Kodzuken and that was unpredictable in its own way when Kodzuken would bring him to penthouse parties, yacht parties, country club parties full of horrendously rich people who were looking to get high of their asses. Kodzuken never revealed just how he landed these connections, but Keiji was smart enough not to ask questions and rolled with whatever he was given to do.

This was the double life he was living, embracing now.

"Take off your patches." Bokuto said once he was finished up with his call, they still had a half hour on the clock and Keiji wasn't too exhausted yet, "How much control do you have over your pheromones?"

With you? None.

"Enough that it doesn't interfere with work," Keiji set down the bottle and walked over to meet Bokuto in the middle of the room, it was always just the two of them at this time, "I can go without patches most of the time."

"Good! Well, I need you to use them on me," Keiji was a bit taken back by Bokuto's request, "You know how Takuji tried and failed to overpower you with his pheromones? Omegas can do the same thing, but it's usually a panic or trauma response."

"… Right, we're normally taught to de-escalate the situation and use soothing or calming pheromones." Keiji replied as he didn't have much of a reaction to Takuji being mentioned, in fact this is the first time Bokuto brought it up since the incident happened. He still didn't know of the alpha lived or died.

"I want you to do the opposite, I want you to tap into your anger and channel that into your pheromones, make me submit to you… or at least disable me."

"Won't that enrage your alpha?"

"It's different when it's an omega, if an alpha tried the same thing I'd just fight back harder and rougher… but with an omega… my instincts would go haywire. The vast majority of alphas would never see it coming, it's why an omega like you is so important to have in the clan." Bokuto explained as Keiji just heard that as alpha thinks I'm important, "The best assassins, hit men, and spies tend to be omegas that no one really suspects. Especially when they don't fold at all around alpha pheromones."

"I see…" Keiji nodded, "I would like you to take off your patches as well, it'll help with resistance training."

"Alright!"

The sweaty patches were tossed aside and Keiji was immediately met with Bokuto's musky scent, his nose wrinkled from how damn strong it was, but his stomach didn't churn. Nor did he fall to his knees in a horny heat haze, as much as he would've loved to. His omega was silent, he centered himself to focus on this spar with Bokuto, he had to defeat alpha.

Using his pheromones in a fight… hm… he could handle Bokuto's style by now, he was a massive alpha who hit hard and absolutely dominated when you gave him a mere inch. Keiji would have to experiment, be unpredictable, abuse the weak spots that he mentally recorded with Bokuto. Tap into your rage… that wasn't difficult when all he had to do was think of Takuji or his ex, let it drench his sweet pheromones into something rank and sour.

Bokuto's reaction was damn near instant as he stumbled with his footwork and Keiji pushed further into his space, fueled by the infinite well of anger he held towards his ex. Keiji didn't hesitate with his strikes, he was cold and calculated from all the lessons that Bokuto taught him. This was different from his feral, unbridled rage towards Takuji, he'd just seen red as his omega took direct control from his brain… but now he knew was he was doing.

How to crush Bokuto's defenses and take him apart piece by piece.

And that's how he wound up on top of Bokuto, pinning him down by his wrists and with his own oppressive pheromones, the alpha was clearly stunned by anyone besting him… let alone an omega.

"Holy shit…" Bokuto blurted out, "That was… awesome, we should go another round!"

"Don't tell me you'll pick up a fetish for me dominating you." Keiji said as Bokuto raised an eyebrow and wow he was especially handsome like this—

"Oof!" Keiji yelped as the alpha managed to flip them both over and now Keiji was flat on his back with Bokuto grinning down at him.

"Never let down your guard, Akaashi!" Bokuto declared, but Keiji's head was spinning at their new position, how Bokuto slipped so easily how out of his hold, how his large body was caging him now. Alpha, alpha, alpha!

…

Keiji's skin was already flushed from exertion, but he was bright red from the sound of his omega squealing in his head and his scent shifted into something much sweeter. Bokuto's nose twitched at the sudden burst of florals in the air, Keiji wasn't sure if he wanted to die or get fucked at that very moment. Both, honestly.

"Bokuto—"

"Ah! Sorry, I'm sorry!" Bokuto scrambled off of him like he'd just gotten ripped out of his trance, "You did really well though, amazing! Better than I ever expected! We can keep going or we can finish for the night? I'm totally fine with stopping, you know whatever you're comfortable with."

Keiji blinked up as Bokuto rambled and was there a blush on his cheeks?

"I'm okay to keep going… if you'd like to."

"Yes, yes, let's keep it up!" Bokuto flashed him a smile and went to give him a hand up, "Is uh… is that your natural scent? It's really nice. I think it's the first time I've smelled it…"

"Mmm… it is." Sort of. Keiji wasn't about to admit that he was severely horny for his boss.

"Wow, that could destroy an alpha too…" Bokuto murmured as they both got back into their stances, "Whenever you're ready!"

Keiji could push it, he could tease a little, he could fluster Bokuto a little more… but he had to be serious. And it was nearing three in the morning.

But the temptation.

"Do you enjoy it, Bokuto?"

"What?" Bokuto blurted out, his eyes were wide, "Your scent? Yeah! I can't imagine who wouldn't, it's perfect and delightful and reminds me of everything that's wonderful in this world. It makes me think of home, actually."

Oh, that's… sweet.

"Come at me, Akaashi!"

Keiji flipped another page in his book, Kodzuken was jumping from mii to mii in this new game he'd been addicted to called Tomodachi Life and he showed Keiji the 'Sapphire' mii he'd made a few days ago. It was a rather cute version of Keiji that apparently crushed on Bokuto mii within a few seconds of being placed near him… Sapphire still hasn't confessed, but he liked to pine from afar with blushing cheeks and pink hearts all over the place. This looked like a game that Aria would enjoy from first glance, then one of the miis started talking about picking big dick and balls or small dick and balls while they were sitting in Kodzuken's car.

Keiji couldn't contain his laugh at all, he still may consider buying the game for his daughter though, she didn't have a dirty mind like his coworker.

They'd been waiting for… going on forty-five minutes… a client that was supposed to pick up some product and Keiji couldn't say he was too bored, he enjoyed the book he was finally getting the time to read. Kodzuken wasn't in a rush either, he was curled up in the driver seat with his switch and watching some romantic cutscene of two miis chasing each other on the beach, that should have been Bokuto and him. Sapphire mii needed to gain some confidence, not shake his maracas in his tiny room.

"Did you make yourself in there?"

"Yeah, but I deleted myself because they annoyed me by falling in love with someone who wasn't my boyfriend and then they refused to be friends with him…" Kodzuken grumbled with a cute, scrunched up nose.

"Oh, can I see the boyfriend?"

"Deleted him too, if I can't have him, no one can," Kodzuken replied as Keiji let out a little snort, "however on his switch, we're already married with two kids, I think mine is the alternate reality where I fucking hate him or something."

"Now that is an awful nightmare," Keiji replied as he went to grab his drink sitting in the cop holder, they'd grabbed some fast food earlier since Kodzuken skipped dinner, "Is he yakuza too?"

"Mmm… not really, he's always been on the straight and narrow, but he helps sometimes," Kodzuken said, "I wouldn't want him to be in it anyway, he's got a soft heart… I don't want him to end up as fucked up as me."

"You seem completely normal to me."

"Given that you're crushing on one of the most bloodthirsty alphas I know, I fear your definition of normal."

Keiji snickered and went back to reading his book, if he met Kodzuken in his… civilian life, he's sure they would've been friends. He'd probably be a little awkward with Aria, but she'd favor his quiet personality and would warm up to him fairly quickly. Even if Keiji didn't know much about Kodzuken outside of… this… not his real name, nothing about his actual life… he trusted the beta.

"… I think that's them?" Keiji caught movement from across the street, there was a wide alley where two men were standing, one of them had a duffel bag on his shoulder.

"Took them long enough, did they just pull in from Osaka?" Kodzuken grumbled, but he handed the switch off to Keiji and hopped out of the car, "Stay alert, there's a gun in the dashboard if they try anything."

Kodzuken rarely warned him, if anything they were too relaxed about half the deals they wound up getting into. Keiji felt the uncertainty welling up in his gut now as Kodzuken grabbed a bag from the backseat.

"Maybe I should talk to them? Or go with you."

"Nah, I'll be fine."

Keiji did not feel as if things were going to be fine, call it his omega intuition or a case of mild paranoia, especially since these guys already looked shifty. Keiji popped open the dashboard to see the pistol sitting on top of a few other papers and things before taking it in hand. Bokuto gave him some basic lessons that amounted to Keiji's brain frying when the alpha decided to be hands on about helping Keiji with his aim.

Keiji still wasn't sure if he could shoot worth a damn, but it was something just in case. He tucked the pistol into his waistband and left the passenger seat as Kodzuken was meeting up with the two strangers. He stayed by the car so he wouldn't interrupt their deal and kept a lookout for anyone else that may be lurking, it was late enough at night that nobody should be around in this area of the city. A positive for their illegal exchange.

… But a negative when someone got too brave. It all happened too fast as Keiji saw the faint glimmer of a knife pulled from one of their jackets and thrust into Kodzuken's abdomen. The other man, stranger #2 snatched the duffel full with drugs as Kodzuken fell to the ground and they began to dash away. Keiji couldn't afford to panic when they just hurt Kodzuken.

His weeks of training kicked in, slipping onto him like a second skin as he pulled out the gun and aimed for the slower guy, stranger #1 who was about to plunge the knife into Kodzuken again, trying to finish the job. Maybe he was too focused on the person before him since he made no other move to dodge or duck as Keiji pulled the trigger and sound of the gunshot cracked through the air. Keiji wasn't sure just what he hit, but there was definitely a scream of pain from the knife wielding man.

"Sapphire, go after the other fucker, get the drugs!" Kodzuken yelled at him. Keiji wanted to say no, your life is a million times more important, but god knows that was probably millions in drugs they were running off with. Keiji chased him down, not needing to run too far into the alleyway to see them bolting off towards a car that was sitting just across the street.

He raised the gun again, another shot went off, the stranger screamed and stumbled onto the wet gravel, not quite making it out of the alley. He attempted to push himself up, but a second bullet hit his back with his cries of pain getting louder. Fuck, Keiji would have to shut him up before he actually alerted anyone to their presence.

The omega didn't hesitate as he neared the man trying to crawl away. A third shot right in the skull, that put an end to him. Keiji scooped up the duffel bag and hurried back to Kodzuken, he spotted him with the bloodied knife in hand and well… he definitely made sure his assaulter was dead. They dragged themselves up to their feet and held a hand on their wounded stomach, a hint of relief was on their eyes as they saw Keiji.

"Take that other bag too, although I have a feeling there's nothing in it," Kodzuken grumbled.

"I think I need to get you to the hospital… or someone who can treat you…" Keiji grabbed the second bag and went over to their car to toss them into the backseat.

"I'll be good… probably, but mmm… Yukie runs a clinic, her address is already saved in the GPS," Kodzuken said as Keiji went back over to help them, "I'll call her and tell her we're on the way."

"Should I call Crow or Silver?" Keiji opened up the passenger side for Kodzuken to side onto the seat, his hand was covered in blood. Most of it was likely his own.

"… Crow, tell him that— ugh, did you kill the other guy? Sounded like it." Kodzuken grimaced from the pain.

"Yeah, I got him."

"Good, tell him we need the cleaners out here before the police find out."

Right… Keiji shut the door and went to get into the drivers seat, he then tapped the touchscreen in the dashboard to pull up the GPS and found the clinic's address. Kodzuken nabbed his phone from the center console and Keiji fished his own from his pocket.

It took a few rings for Tsukishima to answer.

"What is it?" His voice was drowsy like he'd been woken up, oops.

"Kodzuken got stabbed on this deal, I'm currently driving him to Yukie's clinic. They said that you should call the… clean up guys to handle the bodies." Keiji quickly relayed as he followed the GPS route.

"Is he okay?"

"Yeah, he's alert and awake, but I don't know how much blood he's lost, it'll take us at least another ten minutes to reach the clinic from here." Keiji replied.

"I texted you the location," Kodzuken said loud enough for Tsukishima to hear, "I don't think anyone else was around since we got out after those fuckers died."

"Kenma… alright, get to the clinic, I'll be there after I call up Yaku, don't do anything else ridiculous."

"You say this like it's my fault."

"Did you insist on meeting them alone?" Kodzuken just shrugged, or tried to, "Exactly, if Sapphire was with you— nevermind, I have calls to make. I'll meet you at the clinic."

Tsukishima promptly hung up.

Kenma…

"This was a set up, then?" Keiji asked as he tried to get his mind off of the possibility of Kodzuken bleeding to death.

"Something like that…" Kodzuken sighed as they leaned back in the seat, their hand steady on the wound the blood soaked through their hoodie, "Most of these people don't know that we work for Bokuto and that's on purpose, makes it easier to move product and reach certain places. I've never seen those idiots before though."

"Do you know where they were from or… what family they belong to?"

"It's all very anonymous, I connect with them through… various means, I tell Kei what I need… he delivers it to me and…" Kodzuken shuffled as the discomfort must be getting to him, "you know, if we get caught, there's nothing I can say about my clients… unless they're already famous or… whatever."

"We're almost there, stay awake for me."

"With any luck… they might have some tattoos or someone will know their faces… they may just be some random dumbasses who tried to pull one on me or… a rival group," Kodzuken murmured, "We actually spend so much time in rival territory, Saph, they have no clue because I'm good at my job so… I don't know, it's a pain in the ass though."

"No shit…" Keiji said as they made it to the outside of a… sushi restaurant. Keiji had to wonder if the address was wrong, but there was a woman inside with two others that Keiji didn't recognize. She came right out once Keiji parked on the curb and already had her blue latex gloves on to examine Kenma's injury.

"I can carry them inside." Keiji offered.

"Yeah… he doesn't look too bad right now, you got him here just in time."

"I told you…" Kodzuken said.

Keiji was quick with helping the beta out of the car and hauled him up in a princess carry as Kodzuken looped an arm around his neck. Yukie led them through the closed restaurant to the hidden clinic in a separate room and Keiji set Kodzuken down on one of the beds, then let Yukie and her assistants handle the rest.

Damn.

The omega could breathe a sigh of relief for a moment, it didn't take long for Tsukishima to come in looking and smelling terribly worried for the beta. He didn't need much direction as he bee-lined through the dining room and into the back. Keiji just found a random booth to sit at as he processed just… everything that happened.

Kodzuken… Kenma… they were safe in Yukie's hands. Those men were dead. And it was… close to three in the morning. Three more hours and he'd need to pick up Aria. Holy shit.

Keiji closed his eyes for just a moment, letting his current situation hit him… Bokuto was right, he didn't really have a problem with killing if he was protecting himself or… someone else. No guilt, no shame, no mental breakdown. Kenma could've died if he froze up and Keiji wasn't about to let that happen.

Except this time… Keiji did have control of himself. His omega didn't take over, Keiji knew exactly what he was doing and his own end goal. You don't let anyone like those scumbags escape because they will come after them again. They seriously thought they could get away with it too…

"He'll be fine, they missed anything important." Tsukishima's calm voice had Keiji blinking over to the table just across from him. The alpha was sat on top of it and had a cigarette in his fingers.

"You saved his life, I have to thank you for that," Tsukishima said, "His last partner was… a complete and total fucking moron that I had the pleasure of putting a bullet through myself. I've never felt comfortable with him doing these deals by himself and… I didn't have too much faith in you."

"All that training with Bokuto paid off… I wasn't going to let them just kill Kodzuken either."

"You've earned my trust," Tsukishima replied before taking a drag of the cigarette, his alpha scent had calmed down considerably, "You can head home, Koutarou will call you tomorrow or… sometime this week."

"Right, um… best wishes to Kodzuken, I hope they have a fast recovery."

"He would be right back on these streets by morning if it was his choice," Tsukishima rolled his eyes as he brought the cigarette back to his lips.

"Yeah… sounds like them…" Keiji shared a small smile with Tsukishima, "Do you know who might be behind this?"

"I have some ideas, but I won't know until tonight, maybe."

Keiji hummed and soon exited the restaurant, the street and shops around him were all closed and empty. It's a good thing he always opted for black clothing or else the bloodstains would be far more obvious. It took a little over ten minutes for an uber to show up at the end of the block where Keiji chose to wait, but he was already wanting to shower and hit the sack.

At this point in his life, Keiji was used to going to these random addresses that Kodzuken or Tsukishima texted him, but this time Bokuto wanted to see him outside of the club. Namely at his penthouse the very following morning after Keiji dropped off Aria at school with Kiyoomi and the twins. There was nothing on the news, no cops were waiting at his apartment, nobody had come to snatch him up for revenge.

It's was if last night… didn't happen at all.

Kiyoomi didn't know as they talked about an upcoming field trip and their pups were bounding down the sidewalk. He didn't know that Keiji watched the blood run down his shower drain at three in the morning. He didn't know that Keiji felt no fucking guilt over murdering two people who he never learned the names of…

Once he saw Aria's happy face while she was eating her breakfast, everything else melted away. Is that how yakuza life functioned? Someone else dealt with the mess and Keiji could just walk away without a care in the world? Tsukishima thanked him, that man barely spared him a glance on a good day… he must be close friends with Kodzuken since he rushed out so quickly to see him.

Keiji's mornings would either be spent getting some extra sleep or chatting with Kiyoomi as they did their errands and chores together. Kiyoomi had to head to the grocery store and then stop by the mechanic garage to drop off Atsumu's forgotten lunch, so Keiji tagged along. A normal, by all accounts, boring run of the mill morning… yet Keiji was buzzing with energy that he'd never felt before.

He stayed at the garage long enough to say hello to Atsumu and his few other employees who would fawn over the single omega. He then made an excuse of wanting to get in some writing and left for Bokuto's penthouse… because of course the man lives in an expensive penthouse. At least he was dressed… somewhat nicely, not half naked or the sweaty clothes he wore for training.

It was a knee length summer dress with flower patterns all over the white fabric, as well as a soft green button up sweater to match. He debated on stockings or not, letting Aria choose some socks with green bows on them. This was the omega that Aria saw on a daily basis, her lovely mother who would not gun someone down for a duffel bag full of cocaine and pills.

Keiji eased his nerves as the elevator rode up and up and up… what should he expect?

The elevator doors soon dinged open and he was welcomed to Bokuto's living space, the alpha's pheromones were strong and Keiji's omega gave a small purr, he shouldn't be distracted. Keiji didn't have to look around for long to see Bokuto with a group of his men in the dining area, all of them surrounding the table.

And all those eyes were on him within seconds. Keiji recognized Konoha… but none of the rest.

"Who is that beauty?"

"Oi, oi, oi Bokuto! I have dibs, I saw him first!"

"Did he get lost on the way to heaven?"

"Sapphire! Give us a moment, we were just wrapping up this meeting."

Once Bokuto uttered his code name, he sensed the shift in the air as their reactions ranged from jaws dropped to curses uttered to obvious surprise on their expressions. Keiji just… wandered over to the furthest side of the couch to sit down and pulled out his burner phone to play one of the games Kodzuken recommended. He hoped that they were okay.

The others left after a few more minutes of quiet chatting among themselves that Keiji tried to tune out since it wasn't really his business, plus he had no idea what they'd been going on about anyway. He glanced up from his phone as the elevator door shut and Bokuto was practically rushing over towards him, as the yakuza usually did when they were alone, at least he was in a good mood.

"How is Kodzuken doing?"

"Great! Yukie just had to stitch him up and he'll be out for a week or two, but otherwise Ken-Ken is all good, you did so well in handling everything! Just what I'd expect from you."

"Ah… thank you," Keiji perked up from the praise, his omega chirped in his head from alpha, "have you made any headway in who attacked them?"

"Basically they're from one of the clubs that you guys visited and they wanted to pull a fast one," Bokuto joined Keiji on the couch, sitting right next to him, "I guess they wanted to impress their higher ups, but all they did was piss off Kei! So we're going to get some surveillance and Kei wants to destroy their little group, you're invited to come along if you want."

"Yeah, anything for Kodzu… I wish I did more to prevent him from getting hurt, but…"

"Don't blame yourself, shit happens in this line of work. You're just lucky they didn't have access to any firearms or else… well, I'd be going on a rampage right now!" Bokuto replied, "It's been awhile since Kei has been so fired up, it's actually really cool to see."

"I can imagine," Keiji said, "Is there anything else I need to know? I don't want to take up too much of your time today."

"How do you feel? Kenma said you didn't really hesitate to take them down."

"I wanted to protect them… and then they told me to get the drugs, so… I did what I had to. I don't feel all that differently other than… I'm happy to have kept him alive."

Bokuto was silent for a moment as Keiji wondered if he gave the right answer… or wrong. The way those golden eyes were staring back at him. His much bigger and stockier body sat beside him… Keiji could go to town on riding that thick thigh.

"Good, good… I knew I wasn't wrong about you," Bokuto smiled as Keiji felt the butterflies in his stomach, "Do you… is this how you normally dress?"

"Yes… I generally don't walk around in lingerie in my daily life."

"I don't mean like that!" Bokuto blurted out, Keiji let out a soft laugh, "You're just… really cute… I like seeing more sides of you outside of work and training. You're so unpredictable."

"I'm really not, I have a somewhat strict schedule because of…" Keiji wasn't sure if he should mention his daughter to Bokuto, but his trust in the alpha had grown, "… my pup, I can't have too crazy of a lifestyle with her."

"You're a mom?" Bokuto nearly yelped in shock, "And you're doing all this?!"

"Should I remind you about who is enabling me?"

"Okay true, but I just… looking at you right now…" Bokuto's mind was apparently rather blown as Keiji wasn't sure what to do or say, "Can I see a picture of her?"

"No." Keiji flatly responded as Bokuto visibly deflated, "My life as a mother and what I'm doing here are completely separate, I'd prefer you not talk about her… or attempt to use her against me."

A stupid thing to ask now that a yakuza knows about Keiji's greatest weakness.

"I would never do that, if anything it makes me more impressed with you… I'm in true awe…" Bokuto replied, "You know there's— eh, I probably shouldn't talk about that actually, but anyway I wanted to invite you to stay to just… hang out. I don't have much else to do and I wanted to check in on you and since you're okay…"

"I'm… okay with that. I'll have to leave at two, but I'm all yours until then."

Bokuto's genuine smile had Keiji's poor gay heart racing, "Let's go out! There's a park that a couple blocks away and a food tuck that sells some of the most delicious stuff."

Of all the places Keiji ever expected to see Tsukishima, it was not in the middle of the school bus line surrounded by seven year olds in front of this dinosaur museum. Tsukishima was clearly taken aback at seeing Keiji too as their eyes met and Keiji's brain flashed back to last week when they gunned down the gang responsible for Kodzuken's stabbing.

"Daddy!"

They both looked towards the tiny girl with bright orange hair who wanted to tell Tsukishima something and his face smoothly changed into something soft. Fatherly. He knelt down to her level and Keiji wasn't even sure if this was the same Tsukishima who was ruthless about putting down those men one by one. Ah… that must've been what Bokuto felt when he talked to me…

It was incredibly easy on Keiji's side, all he had to do was show up to where the gang was partying, put on a mask, and take down their intended targets. It was a five man job with Tsukishima leading and wanting to make sure none of these people survived, a harsh punishment to anyone who touched their clan. Keiji didn't know the history of this gang or the moralities of any of them, he just had a job to do and it was… thrilling in a way.

There was the ambush, the firefight, the screams of alphas dying and all the blood that stained the floors… when you fucked with Bokuto's clan, they hit you back hard. Keiji fit right in with his coldblooded attitude towards anyone who went against them or hurt someone he cared about.

And the payment he received afterwards? That large bundle of yen was stashed in his closet, along with the rest of his savings from the club. He could've just quit working at the club right then, it was certainly a… life changing amount of yen. Enough for him to move into a much nicer apartment and enroll Aria into the private school that Tsukishima's daughter went to.

Keiji had to stop staring though, he was here to help out the teachers and Kiyoomi volunteered as well since his twins could be obnoxious and easily over stimulated at times. His youngest, Kiyoshi, was with Atsumu back at home. Aria had been waiting with her little group of friends as they were making sure all the students were together and none of them got lost.

Then it was time to head inside to look at all the dinosaur skeletons and paintings and whatnot, honestly Keiji hasn't been here since he was in middle school. He knew the troublemakers in Aria's class and had to keep an eye on them so they wouldn't go touching everything, but his own pup was well behaved as always. Just last week she'd been spending spring break with her father and his… new boyfriend… and all she had to say about him was, 'He's nice, but boring.'.

Keiji can accept that…

He saw Tsukishima around a few times and if Keiji didn't know any better, he'd assume the yakuza was an employee of the museum from how much he enjoyed talking about these dinosaurs. Perhaps this was his special interest, killing people and geeking out over every possible species of ancient reptiles… that's a bit cute if so.

Keiji wasn't sure if he'd ever get a moment to actually talk to Tsukishima, but lunch time struck the kids were corralled outside to be fed. They didn't have to worry much about the pups acting out when Kiyoomi managed to make them straighten up with one annoyed glance. Now Keiji just… needed to make an excuse about having to use the restroom since all the pups were busy happily eating their lunches.

Tsukishima shared the same idea.

There were people wandering all over the museum, but Tsukishima gestured over to a 'closed' exhibit room that the staff simply did not see them slipping into. It seemed they were still constructing this one for whichever dinosaur was getting spotlight this summer.

"I did not pin you as an aspiring Paleontologist." Keiji said as Tsukishima quietly closed the door behind them.

"I have a degree in it, actually. I used to work at the Sendai City museum when I was younger then… well, you can make up your own assumptions as to what happened," Tsukishima replied, "You… Are you a teacher?"

"Volunteer for the day, my daughter's class is here."

"The pup that looks suspiciously like you."

"Bingo, meanwhile yours… takes after her mother?"

"To a terrifying degree." Tsukishima replied with a small sigh as Keiji smirked, "her younger brother is more like me, however."

"I cannot tell if that's a good or bad thing."

"Awful, but his sister is making him softer around the edges…" Tsukishima said, Keiji felt oddly comfortable with the yakuza now, seeing this new parental side of him, "I didn't expect you to have a pup."

"Neither did Bokuto, my ice cold bitch reputation seriously proceeds me," That got a chuckle out of Tsukishima, "Is her mother also yakuza? Or…"

"He knows what I do and still wanted to get mated after I accidentally knocked him up, so…" Tsukishima said, "I suppose we're both balancing the same thing."

"Who knew I'd ever have so much in common with Tsukishima Kei?"

Tsukishima scrunched his nose at that, but it was true, Keiji just didn't have a mate, "Don't tell me you'll want to schedule play dates next."

"That's… not a bad idea, actually. Aria's shy, but I think she needs more close friends who are girls… instead of the boys she's always running around with."

"Mmm… those twins were attached to her," Tsukishima commented and had Keiji wondering just how much Tsukishima noticed in their short time together, "… Sure, Hikaru loves everyone, Shouyou wouldn't mind a fellow… omega who can relate."

"That's a good idea, none of my friends know about this and it's… a bit much to handle all alone."

"Isn't Koutarou up your ass whenever you're together?"

"Not literally." Keiji clicked his tongue and that got a real laugh out of Tsukishima, although he had to stop himself before they were caught, "Did Kenma tell you about my crush too?"

"Every omega falls for him, but he has a very specific type… one that you may fit into." Tsukishima said, "Anyway, you should leave first before they send a search party."

Keiji might be Bokuto's type?

Huh…

and not a week beforehand.

Keiji almost had to skip this shift since Aria was having a rare bout of feeling clingy for her mother and he hated to see her cry, but the promise of spending the entire weekend together had her mood lifted. No working, no Kodzuken, just mommy and daughter time without anyone else interrupting or stealing Keiji's attention away from her. Keiji felt somewhat guilty each and every time he would leave her with Kiyoomi for the evening and he rationalized it by telling himself it was only three or four times a week, but now he could technically afford to skip out on more shifts…

.. But she was also seven (turning eight in another month) and didn't fully understand that Keiji needed to work to keep a roof above their heads. Pups will be pups, he couldn't blame her for missing him when he was gone and if it weren't for her useless fucking father then Keiji wouldn't have to be in this position in the first place. But it'll be fine, he wasn't the worlds worst mother even if he did want to crumble on the spot from Aria begging him to stay.

Tonight seemed normal enough as Keiji came in through the front entrance just to get a decent look at the crowd before heading into the dressing room, only to be immediately accosted by Tetsurou. The omega took him by the hand and pulled him away towards the opposite exit that led into the back hallway and Keiji was mighty confused as Tetsurou took him in a tight hug.

What happened?

"Thanks for what you did… you saved my boyfriend." Tetsurou said with that fond smile.

"… Kenma?"

"Yeah, he wouldn't tell me anything so I had to pester Tsukki and he spilled about Sapphire killing those guys trying to rob him." Tetsurou said, "And what you did afterwards, I didn't have a clue that you were getting that deep into the yakuza."

"I… wouldn't say that, I just wanted to help and no one was going to get away with hurting him."

"Uh huh… well, still, I'm happy it was you." Tetsurou squeezed him for another hug and Keiji reciprocated this time, he didn't know those two were even dating, "I really don't know what I would've done without him, he can be so stubborn and risky."

"As long as we're working together, I won't let anyone else hurt him, I can promise you that."

"I trust you on that," Tetsurou smirked, "Kenma thinks I can't handle the gruesome details, but I'm not naive, I know it can be rough out there."

"It's probably not that… it's likely they just want to keep their two lives separate, you're his mate, his source of comfort and love… mixing that up with yakuza gets messy."

"Mmm… yeah, it doesn't make me feel any better when he comes home stitched up from a stab wound though…" Tetsurou sighed, "It almost makes me wish I did drop everything just to join Koutarou and Kenma, but… I'm not cut out for that life."

"It's not a bad thing, from everything you've told me about your relationship, Kenma seems… much sweeter and thoughtful than I assumed, it's good that you still support them despite the… crimes."

"An infinite amount of crimes," Tetsurou rolled his eyes with a small huff, "I'll always be there for them, they've been my soulmate since we were like, eight. Anyway, Koutarou is coming in soon with some friends, you should join us."

"Is he getting a private room?"

"Yep~ and I think you should make a move, Keiji."

"That's…" Keiji had at least a dozen rejections on his tongue, but, "… Tsukishima mentioned I might be his type."

"He's probably getting sick of watching you two dance around each other. I, for one, love the free entertainment."

"What about Shimizu? He always favors her when he comes in."

Tetsurou just shrugged as they began their walk back into the dressing room, "You just have to park yourself in his lap first, make him forget all about her."

Hm…

Keiji could do that…

He grabbed a tiny black skirt to pair with the black lingerie he took out from his bag. There were the black garters and stockings and heels. Applying his dark eyeliner and lipstick. His curly hair was a bit longer since he hadn't gotten it trimmed lately and it made him appear even more feminine than usual. He liked it.

Tooru was the one to call them up to the private room, Tetsurou, Shimizu, Yamaguchi, and Keiji. Honestly he'd forgotten about Yamaguchi working here since he barely acknowledged him, but one soft smile at the omega had him tripping over himself. Cute.

They headed upstairs and Bokuto was already drinking with the friends he'd brought, Tsukishima was here along with Konoha and Sarukui. There were other familiar faces, but Keiji didn't know their names, nor did he really care as he went straight for Bokuto. The alpha was definitely surprised by the Sapphire coming over to straddle his lap, but he didn't stop him either… those big golden eyes were fixed on him.

Only him.

Sorry Shimizu, this is a night for Keiji.

He'd dreamed of the day that Bokuto would ask him for a private dance, but he'd just have to take what he wanted tonight. Maybe the alpha would get the hint as Keiji's pheromones spilled all over him, his he ran his hands all over Bokuto's thick chest and broad shoulders, when he ground his clothed cunt against Bokuto's thick thigh. Keiji wasn't just working, he wanted to seduce this alpha, dammit.

"You can touch me, alpha, don't you own this club and everyone inside of it?" Keiji purred next to his ear. Bokuto cursed under his breath before taking the omega by the waist, his warm hands burned on Keiji's exposed skin and that just made Keiji want so much more. He lips trailed over Bokuto's neck, kissing his scent gland as he rocked down on his thigh, so needy for this alpha.

"Sapphire…" Bokuto said as Keiji made a show of turning around and going to grind his perky ass onto Bokuto's crotch, he could definitely feel his hard cock in his pants. His eyes caught on Shimizu for a moment… she was twirling around the pole with an unreadable expression, did she care enough to be jealous?

"Is this what you like, alpha?" Keiji felt big hands gliding up his torso and to his chest, Bokuto's warm breath fanning over his neck and ear.

"I do…" Bokuto's fingers went to unclip his lace bra and took advantage of his cute nipples by pinching them, "You're so fucking gorgeous, baby, I didn't think you'd want me like this."

Keiji leaned back on Bokuto as he grabbed one of his hands and pushed it lower, low enough to cup his cunt while everyone else was still in the room, "This has always belonged to you, I've just been waiting for you to take it."

"Keiji, you can't just say that…" Bokuto nearly whined in his ear, but his hand sure knew just where to rub to get Keiji soaking in his panties, "I can't read you at all, I thought you might've hated me for a second there."

"… Just do your job, alpha." Keiji said, being bold enough to guide Bokuto's hand under the waistband of his panties. It's not too shocking when people fuck in these rooms, especially when they're drunk and high and surrounded by their own coworkers. There were a mix of all kinds of pheromones in the air and Keiji didn't care at all, he just wanted Bokuto.

"Right here?" Bokuto's deep voice was right in his ear, his fingers pushing into his wet pussy, "You don't even care if everyone sees, huh?"

"As long as your attention is on me, alpha." Keiji whined as he was so damn turned on, he's wanted Bokuto's hands on him for so long, just one chance.

"I'll give you what you need." Bokuto kissed along his neck, licking a wet stripe up his scent gland as his fingers plunged into his pussy and riled up Keiji even more. His slutty hips rolled against Bokuto's hand and he met Shimizu's eyes once more, there was a hint of irritation in her gaze that had a smug smile forming on his lips. It's about time that Keiji won.

And gods, he was so close already. Alpha knew what he was doing with licking his sensitive gland and rubbing on his clit. Keiji's slick had soaked his panties and was dripping on Bokuto's lap, the alpha could put it in right now if he wanted. He should… just to show Shimizu that he had a new omega to play with.

"Bokuto—" Keiji moaned just as someone's phone began to ring and the alpha quickly used his free hand to retrieve it out of his pocket.

"This better be important."

Keiji couldn't hear what was being said on the other end, but Bokuto's fingers stopped moving and that was so mean of alpha! Just when Keiji was about to come too.

"… Alright, alright, fuck, I'll be there in… ten or fifteen." Bokuto groaned, "Kei, Akinori, we gotta go check out one of our warehouses because someone decided to shoot up the place. Sorry leave you like this, Shuugo, but enjoy what I can offer you while you're in town!"

"Eh, it's no problem." Shuugo must've been watching as he had Yamaguchi cozy on his lap and a hand prominent on his freckled thigh, "If ya need any help, we're here."

"It'll be good, just some… local problems." Bokuto pulled his hand out of Keiji's panties and the dancer reluctantly left his lap, "We can come back to this later, yeah?"

"You know my number."

Bokuto flashed him an easy grin, Keiji had to calm himself down now that they were leaving. Fucking hell. Tetsurou and Tsukishima shared a knowing look, silently enthused at Keiji's suffering. Konoha was pouty as he had to leave his two women behind, but he couldn't object to Bokuto's orders.

"Hey sweetheart, ya can join me." Shuugo winked up at Keiji and… honestly he would have rather done anything else… but this was his job—

Before Keiji could even move, he felt a rough hand wrap around his waist and another take his chin, possessive lips were kissing his own. Oh, Keiji melted onto Bokuto's body, he easily matched the aggression that the alpha was giving him. There was no question that Bokuto would be back to take and fuck him.

"… You can't have this one." Bokuto glanced over at Shuugo, Keiji's omega squealed at belonging to him, being owned, "Understood?"

"Of course, ya would take the prettiest one in the club."

"Koutarou, can you finish posturing later? Or else we're going to ditch you."

Tsukishima's voice had Bokuto finally pulling away from him… Keiji should've made his move so much sooner, but at least there was a promise of more.

You've been invited to a group chat!

»Crow, KDZN group chat

Crow: idk why i didn't do this sooner but

whatever

i need to meet u both at the black feather tonight

it won't be very long

KDZN: ooooooook

where is it? :Me

Crow: oh right

[ADDRESS]

it's where the members hang out in their down time

KDZN: or if they're no-lifers

Crow: like you?

KDZN: die

The bar was located on the third floor of a bustling street that was lined with host and hostess clubs, gambling joints, and other skeevy businesses that Keiji should have expected. He wouldn't be surprised if Bokuto's clan owned several blocks of this place and was pulling in billions of yen from the revenue. Alpha provide?

Keiji wore a mask that covered the lower half of his face not to really hide his own identity, but to embrace what it meant to be Sapphire. He was that mysterious omega who had a buzz around his name and the violent acts he committed, he liked the fear in their eyes when they were told he was Sapphire. The person standing just outside of the bar looked Keiji up an down, asked for the password, and stepped aside to let him in once Keiji told him, welcome to the Black Feather, Sapphire.

The bar itself was… cozy in a way, not too upscale and stiff with the interior. There were a few eyes on him as Keiji saw Kenma and Tsukishima at a far booth and joined them. Some faces Keiji recognized from the strip club, regulars of the other dancers, a few that Keiji danced for on occasion. He never had to remember names though, they were rarely given when he did ask.

"Now that everyone is here…" Tsukishima started off as Keiji sat opposite of the two in the booth, "I'm sure you remember Takuji, he was quite angry that Koutarou wouldn't kill you and he deserted the clan, just disappeared. Until recently with the hit to one of our warehouses."

"Oh… so he lived." Keiji said.

"With one less functional eye, yes," Tsukishima replied, "He's gathered some idiots who have grudges against Koutarou and we need to get rid of them. I was curious if you wanted in."

"Of course." Keiji didn't have to think about that one.

"Great," Tsukishima spared him the rare smile, "Koutarou wants to handle Takuji himself, but before that we have to kill off his closest confidants."

"And guess who is friends with them." Kenma said as they were busy on their switch, "Well, not friends, but I've been selling them shit for a couple years now… still am."

"They don't know that you're allied with Bokuto?"

"Nope."

"So, assuming that shithead doesn't try anything, in two weeks there's going to be a party. Kenma will be scouting for us and tell us when we're good to go." Tsukishima said.

"I can do that… should I be hiding or something?" Keiji asked.

"There's a reason why Bokuto sent you off with me after you nearly murdered him, I mean, he wanted to check out your potential… but he also couldn't have some bullshit happening at the club." Kenma replied as he glanced up from the console, "Takuji had a lot of friends, but not enough that would betray Koutarou for his revenge plan."

"… Of course, that actually makes a ton of sense." Alpha was protecting him, "And neither of you liked him?"

"My boyfriend hates him, therefore I hate him." Kenma replied.

"He was useful muscle, but beyond that… trying to force himself on you ruined any good opinion I may have had of him," Tsukishima said with a slight shrug, "He was a loud gossip, drank too much, fucked around with too many omegas.. good riddance."

"That's fair." Keiji softly smiled as maybe he could regard these two as friends now, his yakuza friends, but… they were honest with him, "I can't stay long, I don't have work, but I need to get back to my pup."

Aria was on a play date with Rintarou's son and he could've lingered for another hour or so, but he told Rintarou that he wouldn't be gone for too long. Although he did wonder in recent days if his best friend had any yakuza connections as well since he was a bartender at the club in the past…

They said their goodbyes and Keiji was off, making his way past the barkers and towards the train station. He found himself excited for this next mission…

Kenma laid the bait with another connection he had, Nicolas Romero, he was the oyabun of his own yakuza family and didn't have any (current) conflicts with Bokuto. Takuji was apparently trying to sway him over to his side and Romero had no interest in starting a fight with a syndicate known for slaughtering everyone in their path without a second thought. He'd let Kenma run his little game and deal on his territory as long as Romero got a cut of the profits and in this case, it was well worth the temporary alliance.

See, there was the option to take out Takuji's allies quietly and without fanfare, but Bokuto always loved to be flashy and flex his big dick whenever he could. Tsukishima knew how his boss worked after all this time and formulated the perfect plan that Bokuto was excited to see executed. The party would be at a night club owned by Romero and Takuji would be there with three of his closest men, lured by the false acceptance of Romero and Kenma's wealth of drugs for them to buy and snort.

Takuji wasn't the target though, everyone else around him was.

The goal was for Crow and Sapphire to go up to the VIP lounge and take them out, right there in public. They just had to wait for Kenma to give them the signal… however, Keiji was immediately distracted by a very, very familiar face sitting at the bar. As in, that was his fucking ex husband chatting with someone who worked under Romero and that could be a problem.

A huge problem because Keiji's ex husband was a detective with the Tokyo PD and Keiji didn't know if he was actually on the clock right now or… possibly corrupt. The latter wouldn't shock him. What if his new boyfriend was a yakuza that belonged to the Schweiden Adlers? There were a million questions that ran through his mind, mainly concerning his daughter's safety because why the fuck is he introducing her to someone in the yakuza?!

"… Sapphire you seem very concentrated on him." Tsukishima commented a Keiji nearly choked on his drink, "Someone you know?"

"Um…" Keiji could lie, but maybe it was easier just to tell the truth while he was here, "That's my ex, he's the shorter one with black hair, I don't know who he's talking to, though."

"Oh… Hirugami, he's a wakagashira like me," Tsukishima calmly replied, "I don't know much else about him, we don't speak outside of official matters… does that mean you want to back out?"

"No, no… it's fine, I was just a little surprised to see him here of all places." Keiji took another sip of his drink. They were both crowded around a small table and with the dim lighting of the club, hopefully they wouldn't be noticed.

"We can kill him too while we're at it."

That got a sudden laugh out of Keiji, especially seeing Tsukishima's bored expression on top of that, "Nope, that would give us much more trouble than it's worth."

Tsukishima raised a curious eyebrow as Keiji debated with himself, "I'll tell you afterwards, but I don't think he's associated with any yakuza or gangs… that I know of…"

"Mmm…" Tsukishima gave a side long glance to Naoki who was smiling and drinking with Hirugami like it was the best damn night of his life, "Interesting for both of you to end up involved with yakuza."

"I blame the strip club, I don't know what his deal is." Keiji had to stay calm, he didn't know if Naoki was investigating Romero or besties with those people or what. Why would he bring Aria around them?

"I'll ask around."

Keiji nodded as he spared one more glance towards his ex, he didn't feel any attraction or jealousy at all, just the plain annoyance that arose every time they saw each other. He was an awful man, never happy with Keiji and always yelled at him or used commands to force him to submit. Aria saw too much for her young age… how Naoki would beat Keiji until he was bleeding and sobbing for him to stop, how the pup would come out of her hiding spot to try comforting her mother, how Keiji would tell her over and over that they would escape one day.

And yet, given his… reputation and standing with the police, there was nothing Keiji could do. Majority custody was given to Keiji since the courts often favored the omega mothers and Naoki didn't fight him on it. Keiji never brought up the domestic violence or sexual abuse on top of that, he just wanted to settle this as quick and smoothly as he could.

Perhaps Naoki wanted the same, who knows.

A text from Kenma had them both alert and ready to head up the VIP lounge, they mentioned there was an emergency exit with a fire escape they could all bolt out of. Seeing that the security was on Romero's payroll, they shouldn't have any interference other than the innocents screaming and running around. The sound of the gunshots would be covered up by the loud electronic music playing and the trio would have just enough time to bail.

Tsukishima and Keiji both donned their masks and headed up the VIP lounge, as expected there were plenty of girls hanging off of these men. Keiji had half a mind to put a bullet through Takuji's head right now, but there was a sick thrill that came from feeding off of his fear too. Kenma made a strategic exit just minutes beforehand and these alphas barely had time to ask who the fuck are you before Keiji and Tsukishima opened fire.

Ah… Keiji was growing to like the sight and smell of blood and terror on their frightened pheromones. Takuji ran off in some random direction as the girls scattered. Tsukishima pulled out his phone to snap a few pictures to send off to Bokuto. They would quickly be spread throughout their criminal circle, more news of Sapphire and his deadly deeds.

Their next stop would be Bokuto's penthouse once they made sure nobody was tailing them.

And it was so terribly obvious that Bokuto wanted to be there from all the emoji filled texts that Tsukishima was receiving. It was… endearing. Who knew an oyabun could be this cute?

An oyabun who still owed him sex, mind you. Keiji was set on ruining his chances tonight as the three of them stepped into Bokuto's penthouse and the alpha congratulated them on doing such a good job. Praise from alpha…

"I have to tell you all something you should know…" Keiji said, "I told Tsukishima while we were there, but my ex husband was at the club and… he's a detective. I don't know why he was there and I'm not helping him out with any sort of investigations, I barely speak to him outside of trying to get him to pay his child support and seeing Aria…"

"Whoa, whoa… it's okay, if you were a narc, Yakkun would've figured that out by now," Bokuto quickly reassured him, "Although he didn't find anything about your ex… but good to know!"

"A detective and he's hanging out with Hirugami?" Tsukishima remarked.

"Possibility dating him…" Keiji would have to ask in the most innocent of ways next time he texted his ex, "If he finds out about me and um… all of this…"

"Don't worry, I have guys inside, I'll do a little prodding and see where he stands." Bokuto came over to rest his hands on Keiji's shoulders, "Tsukki can ask Romero's men and you can remain completely innocent!"

"Alright, I… trust you." Keiji softly said as Bokuto visibly brightened up like the sun in the middle of night, "I don't want anything to happen to him, my daughter loves him and… I just don't want trouble."

"There won't be any, Keiji, you just have to lay low for a few weeks while the police are all over this and they aren't going to connect this back to you, right Kenma?" Bokuto said.

"Yeah, the cameras stopped recording once they were in and anyone working for Romero won't squeal." Kenma answered from their cocoon on the couch, "As far as they're concerned, it was a hit from some random guys… and only a handful of people would connect Sapphire the stripper and the hit man…"

"See? You're covered! I always have the smartest and best people working for me." Bokuto bragged as his alpha pheromones worked in soothing Keiji's nerves.

"Mmm… I should head back home then." Keiji said, "I need to figure out how to ask my ex husband… or my eight year old about his new boyfriend.'

"Yeah…" Bokuto nodded, he seemed to hesitate for a brief moment, but he leaned forward into Keiji's space to drop a kiss onto his lips, "… I hope that was okay, it's the first time I've smelled you actually being worried."

Keiji responded by kissing him back, nothing too long, but just enough to enjoy having alpha for a moment, "Thank you, I wish I could stay a little longer, but… I need answers from him."

"We'll have time later, don't worry your pretty head, omega."

Omega…

Keiji eventually pulled away, noting that Tsukishima found himself sat next to Kenma with the beta laying his legs across Tsukishima's lap. He needed to be near Aria, he wanted to make sure she was okay, knowing that she was probably dead asleep in the twins bedroom. Maybe he should keep her over the summer…

"Aria, can I ask you something?" Keiji had just made her lunch and she was nibbling on her sandwich while drawing in one of her many coloring books. They were both sat at the chabudai in the small living room and Keiji had his laptop out. She always liked to be near him when he was busy 'writing' and wanted to be productive with her mother.

"Mmm…" Aria blinked up with her bright blue eyes, a total reflection of Keiji. Her curly hair was getting much longer though, he tied it up in a ponytail and debated on getting an appointment with a stylist later.

"Do you remember the name of your father's boyfriend?"

"… Fukurou-kun."

Was that Hirugami's given name?

"Did he happen to have any tattoos?"

"Um… I dunno, I didn't see him that much."

"Then… was he taller than Naoki?"

"Super tall! I had to crane my neck to see him! It was really annoying." Aria let out a little huff with her puffed out cheeks, "And he was nice, but awkward because he doesn't know anything about the stuff I watch or read and that's like, boring!"

"Terrible with kids, huh?" Keiji mused as Aria went to take another bite of her sandwich, "Did you do anything fun together?"

"Not really, I kinda wish it was just me and daddy, but Fukurou-kun would show up and it was a drag like oh my god why can't he stay home?! It's unfair because daddy really likes him too… he's not mean to him like he was you… I don't get it, you're the best mommy."

"It's hard to explain, I barely understand him either."

"Well… if you get a boyfriend, I want him to be exciting and fun and super duper nice to you… and me too, but he can't hit you or else I'll get uncle Atsumu to bite him!"

Bokuto sprung up right in his head, Bokuto meeting Aria… Bokuto spoiling her with affection and gifts and being a good alpha…

"I'll make sure he's Aria approved before we start dating, how about that?"

There were sparkles in her eyes as she was suddenly hyped up, "what if I find a bunch of alphas and you go on dates with all of them and then you pick the ones you like the most and then we make then fight?!"

"… Sure, it's been awhile since I've been on a proper date, let's make it twenty dates too."

"Okay I'll make a list!!!"

Aria's list consisted of the alpha librarian, the vice principal, the guy who runs the ice cream stall at the park, and uncle Osamu because he cooks good. She didn't know many alphas to begin with and Keiji applauded her cute efforts. This was before she started adding all the alphas in her anime and manga to the list.

i guess ill see at the end of the week 🥀

Clear blue skies and the salty smell of the sea welcomed them as Atsumu found a parking spot for the van right by Osamu's sedan and the pups were all excited to immediately run off into the cool water. Keiji helped Kiyoomi with setting up by the spot that Osamu already claimed as Rintarou and Atsumu chased after their hyper pups across the sand and into the ocean. Yoshiro was at least occupied with sneaking snacks for himself, but Aria was right there with the twins and giggling her little head off as she went to splash into the waves.

Kiyoshi was still half asleep and Kiyoomi plopped him onto a towel without having to worry about the youngest pup crawling off somewhere else. The towels were spread out on the cool sand, along with umbrellas and coolers full with snacks and juice boxes.

Tsukishima arrived with Hinata just minutes later, along with surprise guests Kenma and Tetsurou, they didn't have a little one though. As Keiji could assume from how energetic Tsukishima's daughter was at the museum, Hinata was just as enthusiastic and bouncy when they were to introduced each other. Hikaru wanted to go into the water while their youngest son was clinging to Tsukishima and wary of all these new people, very adorable of him when Osamu bribed him with a fat onigiri and he immediately took it.

Keiji was not waiting on Bokuto. He was perfectly fine just catching a tan and gossiping with his friends and seeing the little reunion between Rintarou and Tsukishima. Aria was on a mission to collect shells for her sand castle and Kiyoomi was counting down how long it'd take for Atsumu to drag them into beach volleyball. Despite the new and fresh faces, they all got along over volleyball and Tetsurou was just a huge nerd for all the stats and that really got Atsumu going…

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Bokuto wasn't in a suit or his gym clothes when they trained together, he was in a blue hawaiian shirt with shorts that perfectly showed off his thick thighs, god damn. The muscles in his arms were exposed, there was the tiny hint of his ink underneath the sleeves of his shirt, and he wore the brightest smile that could rival the sun. Keiji's omega was more than pleased.

"Bokuto?" Rintarou whispered, "You're fucking the boss?"

"Not yet! Everything keeps getting in the way."

"He's the boss of the club?" Kiyoomi nosed his way into the conversation, "Or the unsavory things that Rin wouldn't tell me about?"

"Both." Keiji and Rintarou answered at once as Bokuto was happily greeted by his friends.

"Is he yakuza?" Kiyoomi asked.

"Why would you assume that?" Keiji quickly answered.

"He looks like one, duh. Wait, are you involved in that shit now?" Kiyoomi furrowed his eyebrows.

"Wow, can't believe our Keiji went from stripping to the underground criminal life~" Rintarou just had to tease.

"Uh…" Keiji wasn't sure how to answer that, but thankfully that alpha came dashing right on over.

"Hey Akaashi! Sorry I'm a little late, something came up and I had to deal with it," Bokuto said as his gaze briefly shifted to Rintarou, "… I remember you, Suna? Did you work at the club?"

"I was behind the bar for a bit, yeah, I didn't know you were dating Keiji." Keiji wanted to smack that cheeky smile off his face, "It's also Miya now."

"We're just friends, Rintarou, but I'm happy you've made it, Bokuto." Keiji replied as the alpha seemed to be vibrating in place, "This is Miya Kiyoomi, another close friend of mine."

"Whoa, there's so many Miyas here! It's like Miya convention! Wait, let me guess…" Bokuto looked back at the twins, Osamu was helping the pups with a castle and Atsumu still going on about the latest MSBY match with Tetsurou and Hinata, "… Miyarin is with Osamu and Kiyoomi is with Atsumu."

"I'm curious for your logic behind that." Kiyoomi said.

"I'm just guessing! … And Atsumu was holding the pup who looked like you, very cute!"

"That's just cheating."

"Maybe if Atsumu's genes did any work…" Rintarou stood up from his towel and glanced over at Kiyoomi, "We should give these two some alone time, let them become more than friends."

Kiyoomi's judgemental gaze flickered between the two before he rose to his feet as well, "… I expect some sort of explanation later, Keiji."

"Of course…" Keiji nearly felt as if he was being scolded by his own mother, but both omegas went off to join the others as Bokuto plopped down in the sand beside him.

"Does he hate me already?"

"That's just how he is, don't worry," Keiji shrugged it off, "I hope that you don't have any… important work waiting for you… I wouldn't to—"

"No, no, no don't say that, I do have… sort of a life outside of that and I'll always try to make time for you… as long as you'll have me." Bokuto said as Keiji felt the warmth burning his cheeks, "I want to focus on us and your pup… and um, like Miyarin said… if you want to do more than just… friends."

"It's strange to see you flustered, Bokuto." Keiji couldn't help his smirk as Bokuto pouted back at him.

"I don't know what we are! I know there's chemistry between us and what happened at the club, but we haven't had time to talk."

"I have no idea, to be honest, none of this is normal." Keiji looked from Bokuto to see Aria extremely focused on her castle, making sure all the little shells were lined up, "I told Aria that my next boyfriend had to be approved by her."

"I can be approved, I will do anything to gain her favor."

"She's not that difficult, just be more exciting than Hirugami," Keiji commented before calling her over. She seriously hadn't noticed Bokuto enter at all and was surprised to see the stranger next to Keiji.

"Ari, this is Bokuto, he's one of my friends from work." Keiji said once she came over to stand by the omega.

"Hiya Aria! That's a really cool sand castle you're building, did you want any help?"

"No." Aria bluntly said, "… I have a vision, I don't want someone else to ruin it."

"Then I eagerly await the final results, I know it's going to be amazing."

She was silent for a moment as she looked over the alpha, "… Right."

Aria hated when she was distracted away from her current hyper-fixation so Keiji allowed her to go back to her sandy project.

"I think that went well, she's a lot like you." Bokuto said with a beaming smile.

"I won't deny our similarities," Keiji felt himself relax as the tension melted from his bones and his shoulder rubbed against Bokuto's, "Are you actually interested in dating me or do you want a quick fuck? "

"I want you, I can't get you off of my mind and when I learned that you have a pup, I immediately wanted to be the best alpha for the both of you," Bokuto's hand went to slip into Keiji's, his fingers were so warm against his skin, "I know that you want to protect her and trusting an alpha is hard after whatever happened with your ex, but I'm willing to wait for you to let me in… I want so much more than just sex with you, Keiji."

"And here I just wanted you to fuck me once," Keiji plainly replied as Bokuto snorted at that, "I've only been with one alpha and it wasn't exactly my choice… nor was it the easiest relationship when I could never meet his expectations. So, I don't know how these things are supposed to work when I prefer to keep every alpha at arms length."

"We can take it at your pace, I wouldn't want you to rush into this and end up regretting everything." Bokuto squeezed Keiji's hand and his calming pheromones did wonders to ease his nerves and bubbling anxiety, "I like you, let's start there."

"… I like you too." Keiji had to resist the urge to kiss him right there, Bokuto may be dealing with the same exact thoughts.

"This can count as our first date… well, first group date with every married couple we know, but we aren't doing anything illegal for once!" Ugh, Keiji adored Bokuto's cute smiles.

"I can accept that, Koutarou." His name rolling off of Keiji's tongue had the alpha's scent spiking in the air, "… So, are you into volleyball like everyone else here?"

"Oh yeah, I played in high school and college…"

The rest of their beach date went rather well if you don't count the obligatory three separate melt downs from various pups. Once Aria was happy with her sand castle and immaculate shell placement, she wanted the both of them to come over and Bokuto was the greatest cheerleader anyone could ever ask for. He then offered to treat her to ice cream for a job well done after taking a dozen pictures with Keiji's phone and she looked to her mother for permission, of course Keiji said yes.

… And then everyone else wanted ice cream, but anyway.

Beach volleyball was played and Bokuto called dibs on Keiji as he wanted the omega to set for him… unfortunately Keiji couldn't even lie about not having played when Atsumu would rope him into the community center games. Kenma was definitely pleased that they could sit out and Keiji learned from Tetsurou that the tiny beta was a setter as well, ah, Keiji could be the sacrifice. Well, at least he was still in shape, if not even better than in high school as he remembered just how setting worked and tossed to his teammates, gaining loads of praise from Bokuto.

The only downside was that Keiji couldn't see Bokuto shirtless as they played set after set, he was itching to see all the colorful ink on his skin. He did experience a sweaty and aggressive Bokuto as he slammed down spikes into the sand and Keiji had to keep his thirst under control. On that note, Bokuto did a decent job at reeling in his pheromones so he didn't end up scaring the pups who were also watching and playing.

They all stayed out on the beach until the sky was turning pink and orange from the sunset, Keiji had been in and out of the water multiple times, Aria was plain joyful to be around all her friends and make some new ones, and Bokuto… he was a pure delight to be with. It made for a memorable first date that Keiji hoped would lead to more, he didn't dare let himself think beyond Bokuto wanting to knot him once and that was all… however.

The alpha laid his heart out for Keiji. Straightforward, no mind games or messing around. Keiji was always a little envious of Rintarou and Kiyoomi, how they found their soulmates in high school and Keiji dealt with that terrible man. He didn't want to wind up put in that situation again, he'd rather be single for the rest of his life if it meant sheltering Aria away from any alphas who would mean them harm.

Bokuto had been worming his way in, whether Keiji liked it or not.

There were a few kisses stolen behind the vending machines as Kiyoomi helpfully recruited Aria for clean up duty. Oh, Keiji is in so deep… he felt like a lovesick teenager with all these foreign emotions hitting him at once as the floodgates opened. He didn't want to leave the alpha, he wanted to invite Bokuto into his nest, he wanted to have a pack bond with Bokuto…

Keiji needed to be alone to process all of this…

Aria wanted to crawl into bed once they were back at their small apartment and she changed into her pajamas. She was surrounded by her plushies and pillows and Keiji found the sight too adorable, he snapped a picture and had to text Tsukishima for Bokuto's real number.

"Goodnight, love." Keiji leaned in to kiss her forehead as the pup purred with happiness.

"Mmm… I liked Bokkun." Aria's sleepy eyes met his own, "… He was nice and not boring."

"Yeah? You want to see him again?"

"I do… he should be your boyfriend."

"You've met him once."

"I saw you holding hands, you only do that with people you like." Aria let out a yawn, kids were too damn perceptive, "And you were super happy for once, soooooooooo."

"Soooooooo, you should go to sleep." Keiji should've raised a pup who wasn't so blunt with him… and far less observant, "We can talk about this tomorrow."

She yawned again upon his exit and there was Tsukishima's text with Bokuto's number.

id love to

An hour gave Keiji enough time to linger in the shower as his thoughts were dominated by Bokuto and he couldn't help getting off just once as the hot water hit his skin. He was so aware of all his feelings, more than just wanting to be knotted, he desired a romantic companionship with Bokuto that he didn't seek out with Issei. The difference between letting one alpha use him and another alpha who was constantly on his mind with everything he did in his daily life.

Issei probably would've been a decent boyfriend and Aria would grow to like him, however Bokuto had his omega chirping and purring and whining for his attention. Koutarou… the name was on his tongue as his fingers rubbed over his aroused clit and his thoughts took him to all those lewd places he'd fantasized about before. He was so huge and strong and those sharp canines would leave a big bite on his scent gland if they ever mated… when they mated.

He left the shower, went on with his quick night routine, and collapsed in bed as he waited on Bokuto to text him back. Rintarou bringing up Issei really did have Keiji discovering the obvious differences… and if Issei had any feelings for him, well, the alpha would just have to get over it. His heart belonged to Bokuto, probably since the first day he saw the alpha step into the club while he was on stage. It's why Keiji was so bothered whenever he saw Shimizu.

There was a text on his phone ten minutes later, asking if Keiji was ready and within seconds the yakuza was calling him. He didn't actually know what Bokuto's bedroom looked like, but from the pillows and black headboard, he determined pretty easily that Bokuto was in bed.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Bokuto was instantly smiling upon seeing Keiji, "You look so beautiful, I wanna cuddle you… and kiss you and fuck you, ugh! You have no idea what you do to me."

Keiji's blush was high on his cheeks as he mirrored Bokuto's smile, "You're rather handsome yourself, although I'd appreciate you a little more if you took off that tank top."

"Role reversal?" Bokuto snickered, but he didn't hesitate to pull it off over his head so Keiji got a glorious view of his tattoos all over his chest and shoulders… they definitely led to more on his back too.

"… Your tits and ass are bigger than mine, you'd do well in the club." Keiji said as Bokuto had to flex his muscles and show off his sculpted body, "can you dance?"

"Absolutely not, would you teach me?" Bokuto perked up at the mere possibility.

"I'd end up getting too distracted and I'd probably suck your cock before the end of the lesson."

"Keiji! I didn't know you had such a dirty mouth…" Oh, Bokuto is cute…

"I quite literally let you finger me in front of everyone that you know, I'm not a shy or demure omega when I'm hungry for an alpha, or just… you."

"I've figured that out very quickly and I love it! I guess I just had… a different picture of you in my head and now I have so much more to learn," Bokuto admitted, "My experience with omegas is that they just obey me and do whatever I say… and that makes sense given my… position."

"Do you want me to be submissive and quiet and obedient? Only to be seen and never heard?"

"No, nope I love the Keiji I'm getting right now, I'm absolutely falling harder for you with every word that you say and how pretty you are and fuck, you have me fucked up." Bokuto nearly whined at the end there and Keiji could only smugly smile, to have an oyabun wrapped around his finger like this, extraordinary.

"I've been crushing on you since I was hired to dance at the Silver Owl, I have plenty of nasty thoughts on my brain… but I'd vastly prefer to know when we can actually fuck." Keiji made sure to pout so the alpha would further lose his mind, "I even touched myself in the shower before you called, thinking all about how I wanna be full with your fat cock and huge knot…"

"Tomorrow! I can show you your present tomorrow and I'll fuck you."

"You promise, Koutarou?"

"I do, and I know you're going to love it." Bokuto's wolfish smile had Keiji getting wet in his small shorts. Just what could this present be… Keiji couldn't ask about it, so he'd just have to wait. Kiyoomi would probably do a little huff and roll his eyes when Keiji said he was going to see Bokuto, but he knew his best friend needed this. He didn't want to feel lonely anymore or carry the world on his shoulders when Bokuto was right there with his arms wide open.

The address was sent to his burner phone which meant this was not a normal present. Keiji hadn't been to the warehouses that Bokuto owned and he hoped he wouldn't wind up lost from wandering around, but there were a few cars parked outside of one. He recognized Issei's.

There were two men keeping watch as Keiji strolled up and they immediately straightened their postures once they noticed him. Go on inside, Sapphire, the boss is waiting for you. Keiji nodded, there was a faint smirk behind his mask as he walked in and could smell the blood and fear in the thick air. His omega was curious on who it could be, were they torturing someone?

He turned the corner past the tall shelving and pallets and box filled with god knows what to see a splash of blood covering the concrete floor with someone tied down to a chair. The alpha was so bruised and bloody and injuries that Keiji almost didn't recognize him on sight, but those foul pheromones had his nose wrinkling. Takuji.

"Sapphire!" Bokuto grinned, "This was the present, he tried so hard to run away from Tokyo, but he had no clue that I already had people tracking down his every move. I've been playing around with him and reminding him that no one gets away with outright disrespecting me or you."

Seems Issei and a few of the others around had their fun as well. Keiji would've expected Tsukishima to be here, but maybe he was actually getting some sleep for once.

"Is he still alive?" Keiji asked as he approached the wounded alpha, noting that there was a missing eye where he'd stabbed him months prior.

"Barely." Issei commented, "Kou said you might want to get your revenge in before he kicks the bucket."

"I have so many tools for you." Keiji saw the metal table that was indeed full with various devices that Keiji could torture him with, but was that really his style? He did his damage when Takuji attacked him and the cocky alpha was stupid enough to try turning everyone against Bokuto.

"… He still has his fingers." No finger nails, but. Fingers. That were mangled and broken in several, gruesome ways, "Give me a knife."

That seemed to wake him up, but there was a gag on his mouth and Keiji wasn't even sure if Takuji would see him through his other busted eye.

"You're an idiot if you thought you could get away with trying to hurt Bokuto and anyone in his clan…" Keiji drawled as the older man handed him a clean knife, "I don't know what else you've done to other omegas, but I'm sure I wasn't the first."

Takuji couldn't escape when he was tied down to this chair, but Keiji's omega delighted and squealed from how horrified the alpha was. This was an amazing present from Bokuto.

…

…

…

They didn't wait until they were back at Bokuto's penthouse. Or even in his car. Bokuto took Keiji's blood stained hand and pulled him up the metallic staircase that led to some office on the upper level. Takuji was barely dead for thirty seconds after Keiji slit his neck open with his multiple fingers littering the ground, soon to be drowning in the pool of blood from the scumbag alpha.

Keiji didn't even get a good look at the office before Bokuto was on top of him, kissing him breathless, needy to for every bit of Keiji's affection. He didn't care if the blood smeared over his shirt as Keiji grabbed his shoulders, there were no other thoughts in their heads when Bokuto pushed him over towards the desk. The alpha growled has he pushed off the monitor and keyboard and whatever else was there onto the floor, he wanted to fuck his omega right now and nothing was going to get in the way of that.

Keiji had gone through dozens of scenarios in his head for their first time, but nothing like this.. nothing like Bokuto presenting a man for Keiji to literally take apart finger by finger. Keiji didn't feel much for Takuji either, like there was some residual anger, but he was more irritated on Bokuto's behalf because how dare anyone go after his alpha, the one he'd fallen in love with.

"I wanted to fuck you right there in front of them all, wanted them to know that Sapphire's cunt belongs to me," Bokuto said as he went to undo Keiji's dark jeans, "but I also don't want them to know what you smell like when I'm inside of you… I know Issei already got the privilege."

Keiji lifted his hips as Bokuto yanked his jeans down his thighs, "It's not like that with him, he was only—"

"I know you only want me… but I still wanted to rip his fucking head off from his shoulders, you're my omega, no one else is going fuck you there for as long as I live." Bokuto growled, Keiji's jeans were tossed off to the floor, those possessive thick fingers pushed inside of his cunt, "I wanna do so many things to you, I wanna knot you, breed your full with a litter, wanna see your skin covered in ink from my clan… god, Keiji, you'd be even more gorgeous."

Bokuto was just babbling now and Keiji agreed with it all, he'd do anything for alpha, he never wanted to be apart from him again. They shared one more needy and messy kiss before Bokuto was on his knees and settling between Keiji's spread thighs. The raw hunger in his eyes had Keiji getting wetter, no thoughts of any other alpha in his head, just Bokuto, Bokuto, Bokuto!

"You smell like heaven, can't wait to taste you." Bokuto nuzzled his inner thigh, his wet tongue darting out to lick his scent gland there. Teasing as he sucked in hickeys and nibbled the soft flesh. Keiji wanted his mouth on his pussy now, but he was losing his mind from alpha marking him up too.

The thought of those other alphas seeing the bites and hickeys on his thighs as he danced… too delicious. They couldn't touch him, they'd never have him, but Bokuto would.

He finally dipped his tongue between Keiji's folds and licked up his sweet slick, making the omega moan from from his tongue pushing inside of him. His hand grabbed Bokuto's hair as he rocked forward onto his lewd mouth, he was so damn sensitive and needy to come already, he had no patience. Bokuto seemed to be into it as he gave Keiji whatever he whined and begged for, the first time he's seen the omega actually lose his composure.

"Just like that, so fucking good for me, alpha." Keiji groaned as Bokuto sucked on his clit and fucked his three fingers into him, "Don't stop, don't you dare stop."

Bokuto was perfect on his knees, an all powerful and scary oyabun who controlled so much of Tokyo's underground and wasn't afraid to spill the blood of his foes. He's sole attention on Keiji, his omega that he'd grown obsessed with over the months and molded into this deadly killer. Keiji may not be the ideal demure wife anymore, but he was great as a yakuza wife who could protect the clan —and his husband—.

That was it… that's when Keiji knew he didn't want to quit this life. He aw the wealth of tattoos that spanned across Bokuto's back, proof of his loyalty and efforts. He needed that for himself. Sapphire wouldn't simply fade into the background, Keiji would get stronger, bolder, he'd deal with those who threatened his Bokuto.

It took the skilled curl of his fingers and Bokuto licking his swollen clit for Keiji to come all over his hand and drip down his thick wrist. He loved Bokuto, he was thrilled by the yakuza, he craved the respect and fear that came with being Sapphire. Just who else would be staring down the barrel of his gun or meeting the sharp end of his blade in the future?

The rest of their clothes were torn off, Keiji was pushed back on the wooden desk as Bokuto loomed over his prone form, he was so huge like a dominant alpha should be.

"I'm not going to stop once I start, I'm going to be rough with you and I know you'll love it, Keiji." Bokuto said as Keiji felt the push of that big cock penetrating him. The alpha's hand slid up his torso and collarbones, pinning the omega down by his neck as his hips dragged back and snapped forward. Keiji's lewd moans filled the office with Bokuto pounding into him harder and faster, with the alpha so easily holding him down with a single hand wrapped around his neck, with that massive cock stuffing him to the damn brim.

This was worth the wait… he knew Bokuto would know just how to fuck him like he's been fantasizing of. There was the feral gaze in his golden eyes too, how his sharp canines have dropped and Keiji's scent gland was throbbing for the bite. It would be way, way too soon, but Keiji's already killed for Bokuto how many times now? A bite would only strengthen their unhinged love for each other.

"Feel that? It's the only cock you need, say it."

"Only want you, alpha! I don't care about anyone else, I swear."

Bokuto lips pulled into a crazed grin, his thrusts slowing much to Keiji's detriment, why wasn't he drilling into his pussy faster? Keiji had been a good omega, he loved Bokuto's sick and twisted present, he promised to swear off any other alphas. Keiji was about to beg him to move when he felt it, the hot rush of Bokuto's pissing into his cunt, marking him in the most primal of ways.

Bokuto pulled out for a moment, just to piss all over his stomach too, some urine dripped down past his ass and over his small tits. Keiji's omega went wild in his head, love alpha marking his territory, his fucking property in such a nasty way. Keiji felt proud though, he wasn't disgusted, only incredibly turned on as that hot stream of piss hit his skin and Bokuto's dominant pheromones overtook the small office.

"All mine…" Bokuto said before fucking his cock back into Keiji, he hoisted him up by his waist and Keiji scrambled to grab his shoulders. He felt that fat cock pounding into his core from below and could only moan and whimper in sheer delight, alpha was so strong to carry him. Showing off, possibly.

Keiji captured his lips in a demanding kiss, his fingers grasping and gripping Bokuto's hair as he was being fucked so good and thoroughly, his legs wrapped tightly around alpha's waist. He greedily sucked on Bokuto's tongue as his nails dug into his back, leaving deep scratches that the alpha would fawn over after this. They were meant for each other…

The press of the knot against his cunt had Keiji slicking more, Bokuto pushed him onto the wall and had a fierce grip on his thighs, fucking up into him like he was in rut. That knot belonged to Keiji, they were going to be locked together and he'd be full with Bokuto's cum wanting to impregnate him. Honestly, he would have quit the birth control last week if he knew he'd be getting fucked by his dream alpha tonight.

… But next time.

He couldn't be disappointed when Bokuto shoved his huge knot into his tight cunt and sank his sharp teeth into his shoulder. Keiji cried in pleasure, this was all he ever wanted and now he'd be getting so much more than he hoped for. An alpha who loved him and respected him and wanted to be by his side…

"Not letting you go yet… taking you to my place, I need to fuck you in my den…" Bokuto drawled in his ear, his cunt squeezed down around that knot and Bokuto groaned in response. Keiji was drunk on alpha, he'd let Bokuto do anything as long as wasn't empty.

Their relationship certainly didn't have a traditional beginning, but that didn't mean they couldn't try to veer over into normal territory with Bokuto taking Keiji on dates, getting to know Aria more as he came over with gifts, and convincing Keiji to move out of his shitty apartment and into the penthouse with him.

It was odd to leave Kiyoomi and his family when they'd been reunited as neighbors, but Kiyoomi reassured him that they'd been saving up for a down payment on a house soon. Keiji offered his own share of the yen as a… bonus babysitting tip… and Kiyoomi, while stubborn, did accept it since they desperately needed more space for their pups.

By the end of the summer, Keiji and Aria moved in with Bokuto and Aria had no clue that a house could even be this big. Or sit up so high in the clouds. She wanted to explore it all and Bokuto was right there with her to show off everything. He'd turned one of the guest rooms into her room and her favorite part was definitely the massive bed she could roll around in and share with all of her stuffed animals.

Keiji didn't have to work at the strip club anymore since he was literally only there for the sake of making money, but he did have one last shift where the other dancers celebrated his departure and got him a cake too. Congratulations on fucking the boss! Kenma did not make the cake this time, that was Koushi. Keiji would miss them though… and he finally got around to getting all their numbers and was put into a group chat specifically with the veterans.

For now… he could actually spend his days writing and taking care of Aria and be a good little omega wife for his Bokuto. Then there was the other side of his life… where he was Sapphire and Bokuto could trust him to take care of whoever was on the list that night. There wasn't much need for a babysitter when Bokuto was at home or he'd get one of the other omegas in the clan to take up the honored duty.

"That was a terrible movie."

Bokuto snorted, but he couldn't laugh too much when Aria was passed out, her head was on his lap and he'd been running his fingers through her hair. Keiji was cuddled up right beside him, he'd been half asleep as well from how boring that movie was, however he didn't want to move away from his alpha.

"It had a happy ending at least?"

"The bare minimum." Keiji sniffed, "Should I get a blanket since you're going to be trapped here?"

"Nah… I can carry her without waking her up, I've done it before."

Keiji left a kiss on Bokuto's cheek, it's almost surreal how Bokuto has been such a good father to Aria in Naoki's extended absence. There were so many sides to Bokuto that Keiji had seen in just this year alone, but the way he lights up around Aria and treats her like she's always been his own was his absolute favorite. Aria's confessed in private to Keiji that she hoped he would stay forever and would always be nice to mommy, she could never ever imagine him as being mean as Naoki.

And if she noticed that Naoki gone silent in recent weeks, she didn't care enough to say anything. Keiji was tempted to ask Tsukishima for any sort of update, but he just… didn't care as long as that man wouldn't be in their lives again. A terrible memory that should stay in the past.

"What are you thinking about?" Bokuto asked, his other arm was hanging on the back of the couch and he brought his hand over to rest on Keiji's shoulder.

"Nothing, just that you're the best alpha I could have asked for when it came to us."

"Well, yeah, I love you both… I'd do anything to keep a smile on your face."

That was met with a kiss to the lips, one that would be followed with many more in the future. Some from the peaceful quiet of their family home and others… with the blood still staining Keiji's fingertips.
