~Sweet Punishment~ Yoritomo Route
Tumblr media
(I know I already did the summary of this, but I just couldn't resist when I see Yoritomo.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trees, dyed bright red and yellow, sway their leaves in the autumn breeze.
On this day, I was with Kagetoki-san and others, gathered in the hall by order of Yoritomo-sama.
Yoritomo: "Okay, everyone is here. I'm going to ask you a straightforward question. What does autumn mean to you?"
Yuno: "Autumn?"
Yoritomo: "That's right. Anything you can think of, I want to hear your thoughts."
(Autumn, huh? Let's see...)
Kagetoki: "Well... If I had to pick, I'd say reading. I love reading in the long autumn nights."
Tamamo: "I'm all for the food, of course. Sweet potatoes, mushrooms, persimmons, chestnuts, pears...the list goes on and on."
Yoritomo: "Chestnuts are good, indeed."
Yuno: "It would be fun to go chestnut picking together!" (Yuno is sooooooooooo cute.)
Shigehira: "Woah woah, don't deviate from the main topic."
(Oh, I shouldn't.)
I hurriedly kept my mouth shut, and my eyes met Shigehira-kun's.
Shigehira: "Is there something you want to do, Yuno-san?"
Yuno: "Hmmm.... I think I'll go for the plants. There are many medicinal plants that can only be found in autumn."
Yoritomo: "That's just like you. But none of them are the answers I'm looking for."
Morinaga: "Then, what does autumn mean to you, Yoritomo-sama?"
Yoritomo: "Training."
Tamamo: "It’s going to be a sweaty autumn then! I'm surprised to hear you say this,..... but what are you up to?"
Morinaga: "It's not too hot or too cold, so it's a good time to get moving."
Yoritomo: "Isn't it? So we'll have a martial arts tournament."
The air in the hall seemed to tighten at the sound of his dignified voice.
Yoritomo: " Of course, we’re not doing this just for fun. The purpose is to strengthen the martial arts skills of the entire army. The winner is determined by a winner-takes-all competition, and the last one standing is rewarded with rice."
Tamamo: "Rice..... I'll have chestnut, of course, but sweet potatoes are very good, too."
Yoritomo: "What are you trying to win? Anyway, this time, you all will be working behind the scenes. You too, Tamamo. Kagetoki and Tamamo, you will assist me in running the whole thing. Shigehira and Morinaga were entrusted with guiding the participants in their training."
Kagetoki, Shigehira, Morinaga: "Yes!"
Tamamo: "What, no rice for me? Well, we'll have a party later, won't we? Let's hope there will be some good food there."
Kagetoki: "It's more motivating to have a friendly competition than to just to train."
Morinaga: "It's like a festival, right? I can't take part, but it gets my blood pumping."
Yoritomo: "Isn’t it? It's time like these that we need these events."
(I guess that's why we're here now because we don't know when the war will break out.)
(....In his own way, Yoritomo-sama is thinking of his subordinates when he makes this proposal.)
(I also want to help.)
Yuno: "Yoritomo-sama, I also want to help."
Yoritomo: "You can. But you wouldn't listen to me anyway, will you?"
Yuno: "Yes, I'll do my best."
(Then I'll have to get more herbs than usual.)
(Oh, and I think I need a spared bandage. And ......)
As I quickly thought about my preparations, I felt someone pinching my cheek.
Yuno: "Yoritomo-sama?"
Yoritomo: "Geez, you're always like this. When it comes to working, that's all you see."
Yuno: "I don't want to hear that from Yoritomo-sama. Even Yoritomo-sama, works day and night....."
(Hm?)
Suddenly I felt some gazes on me.
The next thing we knew, everyone's warm eyes were on us.
(I shouldn't! They're all here.)
Tamamo: "They are fighting like couple and that they only have eyes for each other and their work....I'd say, but Yoritomo did it on purpose, didn't he?"
Yoritomo: "Yeah, because she looks cute when she fights back."
Yuno(blushing): "!"
(I've been teased..... How embarrassing....)
Shigehira: "Please do those things when you both are alone."
Morinaga: "I think we're done here, so we'll leave you to your business."
Kagetoki: "Please feel free to go crazy."
Everyone left, leaving me and Yoritomo-sama in the hall.
Yoritomo: "Hey, Yuno."
Yuno: "Hm?....Oh."
My arms were drawn and I lean on Yoritomo-sama.
My heart began to beat faster and faster at the thought of being in a place where I didn't know who could see me.
Yuno: "No. Not here."
Yoritomo: "It's all right, there's no one here at the moment. More importantly.....I'll ask you to help with the first aid necessities. I'd let you do it, but on one condition."
Yuno: "Condition?"
Yoritomo: "Yeah."
The sound of Yoritomo-sama's breathing gently tickles my ear....
Yoritomo: "Don't overdo and if you need anything, just ask. If you don't, I'll make sure you get what you deserve."
Yuno: ".......!"
Provocative words flow into my ears makes my heart beat even more wildly.
(it's Yoritomo-sama, so he's not going to go easy on me.)
(But, what is that punishment?)
A moment later, both hands were grabbed and put together, and restrained with one hand.
Yuno: "Eh----Hmm."
Without hesitation, my lips were sealed and my eyes widen in surprise.
I tried to escape, but he held me by the back of the head, and the kiss became more and more deeper.
Yuno: "Mmm.....Ha...ah."
I was struggling for air, but the kissing never stops.....
As I was finally released, I started to breathe.
Yuno: "Yoritomo...sama?"
Yoritomo: "It's not bad to show people that you're mine."
(You mean, if I break my promise, he'll do this to me in public?)
Yuno(blushing): "Please don't do that...."
Yoritomo(smiling): "That's up to you. If you understand, don't overwork."
Yuno: "....Yes."
(Because it's Yoritomo-sama, I'll definitely do it.)
(But I have to be careful about this.)
......................
Then a few days later.
I was treating the injured soldiers while Morinaga-san and Shigehira-kun were in charge of the training.
Tamamo was also present since he had some free time.
Yuno: "This is the end of the treatment of your injuries. Good luck with your training."
Soldier: " Thank you!"
As I was smiling at everyone's enthusiasm, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Retainer: "Yuno-san are you here? I'd like to talk to you about the medicine you're preparing."
Yuno: "Yes, I'll be there soon."
I informed Morinaga-san and the others and hurried to leave the room----
Yuno: "Oh!?"
I bumped into someone at the entrance.
Yuno: "So-Sorry---"
???: "Are you okay?"
(Ah, that voice.)
Yoritomo(smiling): "Don't be in such a hurry."
Yuno: “Yoritomo-sama!”
I bow my head, a little relieved that the person I bumped into was someone I was in love with.
Yuno: “Sorry, I was in a hurry.”
Yoritomo: “As long as, you don’t hurt yourself, its fine. You seem to be very busy, is there anything you need help with?”
(Although Yoritomo-sama told me to rely on him.)
Preparations for the martial arts tournament had begun and Yoritomo-sama was busier than ever.
First of all, this is a job that I volunteered to help with.
(I can’t let Yoritomo-sama get me and I can still do my best.)
Yuno: “No. I am doing fine. Excuse me, I’m in a hurry.”
I acted brightly as I could and left the place.
Yoritomo(smiling): “........Geez.”
Yoritomo sees off Yuno’s back, proudly as if he is amazed.
Then, Tamamo and Morinaga who was watching them, comes by.
Morinaga: “Yuno has been working really hard lately, right?”
Tamamo: “She running all over the place more than ever.”
Morinaga: “Thanks to her, everyone’s spirits are up. They don’t even mind getting injured now that there is a cute girl to take care of them.”
Yoritomo: “I see.”
Tamamo: “Aren’t you jealous? You never know when some random man will come and challenge you for her.”
Yoritomo: “Her heart already belongs to me. If a man comes and challenges me, I won’t let him take her away from me.”
Morinaga: “As expected, you seem very confident.”
Tamamo: “..............”
..................
That night----
As I was preparing the medicine in my room before going to sleep, Tamamo came to see me.
Tamamo: “You are still working?”
Yuno: “Yes, just little more for tomorrow.”
Tamamo: “No way. You look very tired. Don’t push your limit. So that’s why.....”
Tamamo, smiles wistfully and claps his hands---
The next moment, he quickly turned into a cute little fox.
Yuno: “Eh, why did you change your form?”
Tamamo: “Touching me, who is super cute and furry, has a great soothing effect. Go on, fluff yourself to your heart’s content.”
As if to give everything away, Tamamo rolls over on his stomach. 
(Tamamo’s belly, looks soft and fluffy!)
The tempting offer makes my heart flutter, but the face of my Yoritomo-sama comes to my mind.
(Yoritomo-sama told me to rely on him.)
I feel guilty, but I can’t resist my greed. .....
I put Tamamo on my lap and boldly buried my face in her belly.
(This is....!)
Yuno(blushing): “Mo..Mofumofu...!”
Tamamo: “Isn’t it?”
(Hmmmm, this is going to be a habit.)
It’s the best touch I can imagine and I’ll just get hooked----
Yoritomo: “Yuno, I’m coming in.”
(!?)
Before I could reply, Yoritomo-sama opened the doors and entered my room.
Yoritomo: “........”  (Okay, so let me try reading Yoritomo’s mind:*pictures regular Tamamo and Yuno resting her face on his belly*)
Our eyes meet and we stopped moving for a moment.
(What should I do? I can’t believe that Yoritomo-sama saw me like this....)
Tamamo: “It’s a crime to interrupt the time of lovers. Good night~” (You LITTLE BITCH!)
Yuno: “Wait!”
Tamamo jumped of my lap and left the room.
Yoritomo(angry): “........” (mind reading: “I told her that she could rely on me and yet she went to Tamamo. But they’re just friends and I know Yuno would never cheat on me. But still she went to HIM instead of me. Looks like she’s really wants to get punished. You’re such a sly, you know.”)
Yuno: “I sorry. I’m really sorry.”
(He’s angry. He is really angry. I can feel it.)
The awkwardness in the air makes me look down.
 I clenched my fingertips in preparation for my punishment and was lightly popped when he flicked my forehead.
Yuno: “Eh...”
Yoritomo: “As I expected. It’s already late, finish your work and go to bed. If you don’t, then I’ll change your clothes and take you to bed.”
Yuno: “No need. I’m in bed! Already!”
Yoritomo: “Good.”
(I wonder if he would say something.)
(But,,,,you were so worried about me that you went out of your way to see how I was doing...)
Although I feel a little uncomfortable with the overly gentle attitude. But that was soon overridden by the joy that came from Yoritomo-sama’s thoughtfulness.
......................
Finally, the day of the tournament arrived.
(Okay, let’s do our best.)
Yuno: “Thank you for your hard work!”
Soldiers: “Eh....”
When I went to the waiting area of the first-aid team, I got a strange look from everyone.
Soldier: “Yuno-san, why are you here?”
Yuno: “Huh? What do you mean?”
Yoritomo(fake smile): “Ah, Yuno. I didn’t know you were here.”
At the appearance of Yoritomo-sama, all his men straighten their postures in unison.
Yoritomo(smiling): “I’m hoping you’ll join me in keeping an eye on everyone’s progress. As a reward for all the hard work you’ve done today, will you come and watch the game with me?”
Soldier: “Yes, leave the work to us!”
Yuno: “Er, well...”
Yoritomo: “Well, let’s go then.”
(Ah)
While I was hesitating, he immediately pulled my hand.
...............
We were shown to our seats, which were the best seats in the venue, giving a view of the entire arena.
(Is is going to be okay?)
He makes me sit down on the tatami mat, and I somewhat started to feel nervous.
Then Yoritomo-sama, who was sitting next to me, leaned close to me.
Yoritomo: “It cold today. Let me make sure, you don’t get cold.”
A knee cover was placed softly across my lap and Yoritomo-sama’s.
Yuno: “Thank you.”
Yoritomo: “It’s nothing to be thankful for. ....but it’s still a bit cold. Would it be warmer if I did this?”
Yuno; “!”
He hugs me around the waist and I leaned lightly on Yoritomo-sama.
At that moment, a buzz spread around us.
Yuno(blushing): “Yo-Yoritomo-sama?”
Yoritomo(smiling): “You’re very warm.”
(Yes, it’s warmer than before.)
As you can see, I’m embarrassed, so I try to speak up.
Maid 1: “Yoritomo-sama is so kind, isn’t he?”
Maid 2: “Yeahhh, I’m jealous.”
I hurriedly closed my mouth, when heard the jealous comments one after another.
(Somehow, we are just keep getting a lot of attention.)
(In this situation, I can’t say ‘let go’, can I?)
Yuno(blushing): “Mm, Yoritomo-sama is also warm.”
I smiled awkwardly and snuggled up to Yoritomo-sama quietly.
(I feel like, Yoritomo-sama....is little scary.)
(The other night was a bit of a let down, maybe there’s more to it?)
When I was suspicious of his overly gently manner, our hands came together under the blanket.
Yoritomo(smiling): “Your fingertips are getting warmer.”
With a warm, sunny voice, the tips of the finger rub together.
His gaze is filled with deep compassion....
(How can I doubt this kindness.)
When I thought about it, Morinaga, the referee, appeared at the game.
Morinaga: “Then, let’s start the first game, both teams come forward!”
The match starts-----
I was completely absorbed into the series of heated battles.
(Wow! That attack was very fast.)
As I leaned forward to watch the game, I felt a smooth stroke on the back of my hand.
Yoritomo: “This could go either way.”
Our fingers entwined and squeezed.
(What is  going on here?)
When I smiled back, Yoritomo-sama happily brought his lips to my ears.
Yoritomo: “Who do you think will win?”
Yuno: “Ah....Well...”
My back trembles when he deliberately sighed near my ear.
I ducked quickly, but the hands on my hips prevented me from moving.
Yoritomo(evil smile): “Oh, that was a brilliant one, right? Everyone is doing well, because of the training. How wonderful.”
Yuno(blushing): “Mm.....”
I can’t reply well, because he kept whispering to me near my ear and it felt ticklish.
(Is he teasing me?)
Yoritomo: “The next game is about to start.”
Yuno(blushing): “Oh! re-really.”
(Thank god, it stopped.)
I breathed a sigh of relief and I felt a hand on my thigh.
(Eh!)
I looked at the owner of the hand and he couldn’t have been more full of himself.
Yuno(blushing): “------!?”
Yoritomo-sama’s hand slid easily down my inner thigh, and I flinched at the strange power.
Yuno(blushing): “Wai...Wait...”
Yoritomo(evil smile): “Hm? Did you say something?”
Yuno(blushing): “No, What’s the matter with you?”
Yoritomo(evil smile): “You said you are too embarrassed to do this in public. It’s not a problem, if it’s hidden under the blanket, right?” (Geez, if Yoritomo had one of those small vibrators, he would have not shown any mercy.)
(That’s)
---------FLASHBACK-------
Yoritomo: "It's not bad to show people that you're mine."
---------FLASHBACK ENDS-------
(Although it’s hidden.)
I still think it’s too mean to bea simple teasing.
(Is this how he intends to punish me?)
(I wonder if he was still angry with me for because of that Tamamo incident.)
The moment I tried to open my mouth to apologize.
The hand that had been caressing my thigh, crept inside, splitting the gaps in my kimono.
Yuno(blushing): “!? A......”
I bite my lips in panic as he stroked my bare skin.
Yoritomo(evil smile): “Everyone is crazy about the game right now....If you raise your cute voice, they’ll notice you.”
(No doubt! You are still angry about the other day.)
I bring my face closer to his ear and whispered lightly.
Yuno(blushing): “I’m truly....very sorry. I’m reflecting on it, so please....”
Yoritomo(evil smile): “No, not yet. You’re too stubborn, so I won’t let you go that easily.”
Yuno(blushing): “Mm, ah.”
The tips of his fingers lightly scratched my inner thighs, causing me to gasp uncontrollably.
At the same time, cheers go up.
Apparently, the game is in full swing.
(But now, I can’t focus on the game.)
Yuno(blush): “Mm....oh.....”
A soft numbness runs up my back as my ear is bitten sweetly. 
Further more, when his hand moved between my legs, I quickly tried to stop it.
Yoritomo(evil smile): “You’re pretty resistance. But how long can you hold up?”
Yuno(blushing): “Ah.....not there....oh.”
(No matter how crazy everyone is about the game, no more....!)
Yuno(blushing): “Okay, I understand. I’ll take the punishment but at least take me to your room....!”
With tears in my eyes, I pleaded and finally his hands stopped.
Yoritomo(evil smile): “I’ll take that word for now. The rest will be in my room, okay...?”
Premium END  // Epilogue
This story event is in short the scenario of what will happen if Yuno and Yoritomo go to movie theatre. Anyways, I’ll only be doing Yoritomo’s route because I love him and then I’ll take a break until the next story event. Also I’ll be posting the collection events time to time when I feel like it.

Home isn't Always a Place
You're pushed forward, a gun on your back. You step down the ramp, the sunlight blinding you for a while. The headquarters were built here, in some sort of field. There as soldiers everywhere, and they're immediately aware of you. Of course they are, you're a threat. With a gun on your hand, seven bullets means seven men on the ground, crying in pain. You hardly miss.
“Sister!” A yell gets your attention, and you turn to its source. Harley comes running, throwing her arms around you. “So good to see you. Where have you been?”
In paradise. “Same place as I've been for the last year. Isn't it obvious?” Shrugging your shoulders casually, you try not to look to misplaced. Wait. Why would you look misplaced here?
“Well, now we get to have fun and some family bonding.” As she speaks, a soldier walking by gets her attention. “Hey, you. Can you help me with something?” She says in a flirting tone and walks away.
“Now it's a party.” A rough voice says, and you soon recognize the owner.
“Killer.” You greet him with a smile and a quick hug. “Nice to see you'll be here to have my back. Who else is here?”
“Deadshot is arguing with a soldier. Diablo is seated in some corner whining.” He smiles, gesturing at his left. “Long time no see. How's life?”
“Life's fine. As fine as it could be.” You start walking over where Deadshot is, watching as the soldier rolls his eyes. Floyd is gesticulating a lot, which means he's pissed.
“I won't have it like it was the last time. Now go, be a good puppy and tell this to your boss.” He says, turning his back at the man. “Havoc. Hi.” He says, exchanging a glance with Killercroc. “Ready for another stupid mission?”
“It's not like we have a choice, right? I–”
“Listen up, assholes! Your dirty things are in these boxes. So change and let's get the hell out of here. You have five minutes.” A man shouts, and everyone rolls their eyes.
You make your way to your things, and as you expected, your box is filled with your old clothes. All in shades of lilac, purple and pink. As usual, the soldiers just stand around you, not caring too much, as you change. You never liked that. Harley doesn't seem to care, and many eyes lay on her. But you do care. And you care a lot more now.
“Guys. A little help?”
Floyd and Killer grab some of the dark plastic bags that lie on the the floor, as you take a dark purple sleeveless jumpsuit. You move to stand near a wall, and the guys turn their backs at you, holding the bags high so you're shielded from anyone's eyes. They did the same on the first time, and you're very thankful for that.
“Thanks, guys. I'm done.” You tell them, fixing the jumpsuit on your body. The hard material makes you feel strong, like Havoc again.
“You're welcome.” Killer says.
“To the trucks! Now!” A man barks and you have no choice but to do as he says.
All of you go in the back of one of the trucks, together. Harley seems to be the only one excited about it, since she's trying to flirt with a soldier named Tom. You wonder what Joker would think about that. Oh. He's stuck on a bed for the rest of his life. He won't be saying anything, you bet.
As you move through the town, you can't help but think about what you did before leaving the house. The kiss. You can't believe you actually kissed him. What in hell were you thinking? You're very brave to do such a crazy thing like that. And you should've at least stayed to see his expression. To see if he was mad or not. But even if he didn't like it, you trust him enough to know he won't break his promise. He still keep helping you after you beat him up twice, so it's not a peck in the lips that will make him change his mind.
Being sure of this is a weird feeling. Your head is so much clearer now, you're not as scared as you were. And you're liking who you're becoming. This mission is just a inconvenience. It'll be over and you'll head back to the house, back to the way of getting a real life. A good life, a life you'll actually enjoy having.
You stop suddenly, and you're ordered out of the truck. “There's a small group here. Eyes open. They might have put mines here so... Don't blow up.”
You get two guns, one in your hand as you walk the perimeter. Harley stays close to Tom, but it doesn't bother you. You walk near Killercroc and Floyd, your head too far from this place.
“Hey.” Floyd elbows you. “Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I'm just... Thinking.” Shrugging your shoulders, you need to focus on being casual. “How's you daughter?”
“She's great. Best student of her class and she's in a hella good school. The best of Gotham.” He looks at the sides, making sure nobody is too close. Killercroc is a few steps ahead and he doesn't really care about these stuff anyways. “You will never guess who put her there. And also guaranteed her a good University, any one she chooses.”
“That's freaking amazing, Floyd. Who did all that?” It couldn't be Amanda. She's not that good.
“Batman.” The mention of Bruce makes you blush, your heart aching from his absence. You look down, running a hand through your hair.
“Batman? In like the man you hate with all your strength?”
“How can I hate someone who does that for my kid? No, no. I respect him. Even admire him now, doing this after I tried to kill him half a dozen times.”
“Floyd, he's...” You need to let out out your chest, and having someone to talk about it would be nice. And you know you can trust Floyd, even more now that his hate for Bruce is gone. So the words roll out your tongue in a whisper as you both stop walking. “...Batman is the one helping me... Rehabilitating me.”
“Oh. So the rumors are true. I knew they took you somewhere else, just didn't know where.”
“You two. Walk.” Someone says and you start moving again.
“Yes, he... I'm going well. I...” Floyd looks down at you, raising one eyebrow. “He said it was mostly just me, but he did help. He treated me with kindness, believed me. I don't know how to explain but I'm different.”
“I did notice something was off with you. But I'd never guess.”
“Really? I was trying to keep it cool.” As you speak, three man come from the corner, immediately shooting at you. You duck behind a car, peaking just enough to lay eyes on them and aim. But they're easily put down without you having to shoot.
“All clear!” Harley says, smiling.
“So...” You continue when you start walking downtown again. “I didn't want to come, but he promised me it would be the last time.”
“Uhm... He's making promises?”
“Yes.” You don't get his tone. “He's very kind to me. Unlike anyone else... He even threw me a birthday party.”
“Happy birthday by the way, and sorry it's a little late.” You turn the corner, carefully at first. “How kind?”
“Kind.” What else can you say? That his touch is so soft, so gentle that you couldn't help but fall in love with him? “He... Cares. I think.”
“You fell for him.” Floyd bursts out, and it's not even a question. It's an affirmative. How did he get there so fast?
But you're fast to dissimulate. “What? No.”
“It's called Stockholm Syndrome.”
“It's not like that!” You exclaim. “You know I've been kidnapped before. Twice by the Joker, who kept me hostage for five months... I did spent three of them just to play tricks on his mind and get some of his money but you get what I mean. Batman didn't held me hostage. He spoke to me, helped me get clean of the drugs they used to give me at Belle Reve, he... He won't let the door locked anymore. He wants me to be able to live in society again.”
“I was teasing you. But since you went into great lengths to defend your relationship with him... You did fell for him.”
“Shut up, Floyd.” You mutter, too much on your head. Increasing your pace, you reach Killer, walking beside him.
Your feelings are pretty clear, as much as you don't want to admit it. And hear it like that just makes it even worse. The kiss... All you think is about that kiss you shouldn't have given.
You're thankful when the action starts, because you have something else to focus on. It doesn't resumes in shooting, you eventually get into hand to hand combat. And you can deal with it pretty well. Of course, it's easier because the guys have your back. You guess they somehow noticed you have no pleasure on doing this anymore. Diablo, as usual, doesn't participate much.
When you stop, hours later, you feel your body complaining a little, but you know it'll get worse. But you also know you can deal with that. And you will, because this time you have somewhere nice to return to.
The commotion goes on for a couple of days. It gets messy, and it only gets worse when the granades start falling from the skies. You're all bruised up again, but not as bad as you were in the hell hole. How is it possible that you're in the middle of a war and you're not as much hurt as you were inside a prison?
As you approach the terrorists base, things get worse, and even the soldiers seem to get anxious. So that means they're extra evil to you. One of them denied you a bottle of water, what made Killercroc almost get his head blown out for arguing with the man. That reminds you that you don't have an explosive this time, but the soldiers told you they will put a bullet through your head if you try anything. But they can rest their minds because the only thing you want is to end this soon.
A week later, the soldiers decide to settle for the night, and push you into a half destroyed house. Harley uses all the hot water, so you have to endure the cold. But it feels good to clean up, and you can take a look at your wounds. A few cuts and purple bruises, nothing you can't deal with. The only bad part of the times you stop to rest a little before start moving again, is that your mind involuntary floats back to Bruce. You can't help it, everything comes back. When he left his gala to dance with you, the dreams, the birthday surprise, the kiss... Why can't you take this man out of your head?
You're alone in a room where half of the wall is down. The others are downstairs, but you want to be alone. You can see the stars from here, and you wonder if Bruce is staring at them too. “Hey, freak.” A soldier comes in, throwing a small radio at you, that looks like a very rustic cellphone. “Someone wants to speak to you. You have five minutes.”
Watching as he leaves, you lie back on the floor, approaching the radio from your ear and mouth. You know who it is, and your stomach goes crazy, with a thousand butterflies flying around.
“Hi.” He answers. “How are you?”
His voice is so familiar, like home. “I'm surviving. Enduring. Just want this to be over soon.”
“It will. And you'll be back here.”
“I hope so... We're near their base now. So only a couple of days more and we'll reach it. Take them down.” You close your eyes, hoping that his voice will be enough to make you dream of him tonight. You would give anything to have him here... Or to be back home. You mean, back at his house. “How's everything there?" Stupid question, he's fine, everything is fine.
“It's weird not to have you here.”
A smile comes to your lips. “Is it?” You whisper, taking a deep breath. You're scared you'll lose control, and the words will roll out your tongue. “Our time is almost over but... Thank you, I... It's good to speak to you.”
“Just remember I'm waiting for you.” You hear his heavy breath, as if he's suffering too, tired, exhausted.
Then you hear a little static, and you know he's gone... There's a weight on your chest and you can't help but let a single tear roll down your cheek. You keep the radio near your face, as if you could hold Bruce with a little longer. “I miss you so much.” You say, barely recognizing your weak voice.
“I miss you too.” The sudden answer scares you, your eyes widened.
“I- I thought you hanged up.”
“No, I'm still here. And I miss you very much, sweetheart.”
The pet name makes you lose it, and now you're crying. “Bruce, I–”
“Time's up, Havoc.” The soldier comes back, hand reached out. “Say goodbye to your protector.”
“I gotta go. I... I miss you.” You burst out before another sentence, far more dangerous, leaves your lips. You give the man the radio back, curling up on the floor, bracing yourself.
From tomorrow, you'll fight harder. You need to go back.
• • •
“Their base–” The soldier who announces is shot in the throat, right beside you. You're duck behind the barricades, waiting for the big guns to arrive. You cannot approach with the risk of being blown up, and they're not allowed to spend you just yet.
“That's it. Shoot to kill, that's an order.” The commandant yells, and the bodies start dropping faster. But not from your gun. You keep aiming for their knees, but another bullet always finds the man you leave collapsed on the floor. “Are you deaf, slut?” He barks at you, leaving his post and pulling you up by the shoulders. “Don't you think you can trick me just because the Bat took you into his wings. Do what you do best and kill those terrorists.”
“I don't kill, sarg.” You tell him, making your way back to your post. But the grabs your arm violently, squeezing right on a wound you got. You groan, trying to pull away.
“You don't kill? Nice try. You will do as I say!” He yells right to your face, and you can feel his disgusting breath. But you won't back down, and you won't take a life just because he told you to.
“I don't kill.” You repeat, standing as tall as you can, head up raised up to look the man in the eye.
His gun makes sudden contact with your face, in the apple on the right cheek. Your head jerks to the side, and you're knocked down, a sharp pain spreading through the skull.
“Hey! Leave her alone!” Killercroc comes running, and you see through the corner of your eyes as he engages in a fight with the man.
You're done here. Crawling away from the fight, you hide yourself behind a building, seated on the floor and resting your back against the wall. They seem to be dealing with that very well, so they don't need you. You're tired of fighting, tired of being in pain.
“Havoc?” Floyd calls, startling you a little. “Are you ok? Your cheek is–”
I'm (Y/N). “Yes, I'm ok. But I'm not going back there.”
“You'll have to tell them you're feeling unwell or else–”
“I don't care, ok? I just need to go back home. I'm sick and tired of this shit.” You burst out.
“Home?” He questions, not seeming too excited to head back to the battlefield.
“Yeah, just... I'm confused, I'm hurt. I'm not thinking straight.”
“I have to head back. Sorry.”
Nodding, you close your eyes, taking in the explosions and shooting. The only thing you want is peace now, silence... Bruce's arms. A heavy, cold rain starts falling, and you're soaking wet in a matter of seconds. Your head spins around, and you lie down, eyes closed tight.
Suddenly, you're pulled into a heavy sleep.
• • •
“Lucky bitch. We should be taking her back to where she belongs.” A rough voice wakes you up, and you sit up, eyes opening slowly. You're in a truck, in the back, on the metal floor. Your hands are tied by huge metal handcuffs, that cover both hands, reaching the middle of your forearm. It's heavy.
“Let's teach her a lesson. Just like old times.” A man say, and you recognize two out of six, both were your guards in Belle Reve.
“Don't leave too many bruises. She'll be with Batman in ten minutes, he'll notice.”
Ten minutes... You're going back. This truck in taking you back. Lowering your head, you smile, breathing deeply.
“She was with the Task Force. He'll think she got them there.”
“Fine then.” You're pulled back, a dark, heavy fabric covering your head. “This is just to remind you of who you are, Havoc.”
“And to give you a nice memory of home.”
The beating starts, and your body easily collapses to the floor again. But you're lifted up, again and again. You should fight. You should do something, but you can't. You're not the superpowerful girl you thought you were. You break too, and you get hurt. And you are hurt, with countless cuts and wounds through your body. When you were high on whatever they gave you, you could keep moving. Now you can't. Being vulnerable, weak, feels awful, but there's just no strength in you. You just need to make it through the last ten minutes that separate you from home.
Home.
When exactly did the house became that?
Or is it Bruce? Is he the one becoming your home? Is it even possible? You hope it is.

V has been staring at the peanut butter cookie in his hand for the past half hour.
Admittedly, the events that took place earlier during the day in the Red Grave shopping district has been weighing heavily on his mind. 
Yes, the atmosphere ( despite the place being jam - packed with Christmas holiday shoppers ) was perfect, the movie ( although the majority of the scenes were not very tolerable ) was eye - candy, the food ( which was uniquely and refreshingly Japanese for him ) was great, even the little trip to the music shop ( which almost tempted him to buy a new violin of his own ) was calm and peaceful.
All in all, it was almost perfect. Almost.
What really took the perfect moment from him was that Christopher Lancaster guy. Again.
After defeating the evil doctor almost two months ago, V seriously thought that it was the end of that fiend. He truly believed that the evil doctor was rotting away in the fiery pits of the Underworld, his flesh being fed to a multitude of famished Demons. Alas, he was wrong: it turned out that he, like you, was reincarnated, and, apparently, he was your former lover.
The ride on the way back to Swan Lane was the most awkward moment that V has ever experienced. Although Nico's driving was normal for once, V, or Griffon, wasn't able to say anything to lessen the tension in the air. In fact, one could safely say that the demonic bird and the noisy Artisan were both tongue - tied for once. Despite knowing that his familiar ( who was still feeling salty after being left alone in the house ) and the Artisan ( who was feeling extra curious and mischievous to know the status of your relationship with him ) teamed up to spy on your very first date with V, the poet just couldn't bring himself to scold either one of them. He knew it would only make you even more uncomfortable, and the least thing he wanted was for you to feel bad.
The one hour ride from the shopping district to your house ended with you nodding to him and entering your house without even saying a word. So, naturally, V was worried sick about you.
What happened between you and that man that made you feel like that? Did he hurt you? Humiliated you, then left you? Lancaster did have strong opinions about your domestic personality. What did he mean by that, anyway?
Wait a second, V thought as some awful feeling made his stomach turn. Did Lancaster - ?!
"WHOA, V! WHERE WILL YA BRING THAT COOKIE?!" Griffon, who was quietly observing V from his perch for the past half hour as his master stared at the said cookie in his hand, squawked and flapped his wings erratically, positively shocked upon witnessing the poet's weird behavior.
V noticed how his actions must have startled the bird, opened his mouth wide, and finally ate the cookie whole.
Hmm, yum,...
V swallowed and turned to Griffon. "That man must've done something that made her feel that way." He said quietly as if someone's listening or spying on him.
"Well, yeah, of course he did! What do ya expect?" The bird answered. "That man is evil! I should've plucked his eyeballs out but, that crazy bitch stopped me and called me a chicken!"
Griffon's words successfully started the fire, making V's eyes widen in both shock and anger. The man grabbed his metal cane from the sofa and started making his way towards the front door, sweater, loose pants, fluffy slippers, and all. The man would've walked outside without any protection from the harsh cold weather if it weren't for Griffon's intervention.
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! WAIT!" The bird flew towards V at a break - neck speed and yelled at his master's face, desperately trying to prevent the poet from storming outside and killing himself in the process. "WHAT DO YA THINK YE'RE DOIN'?!"
"What I'm doing,... is putting an end to that miserable man's life once and for all."
"I get ya! I get that he may have done somethin' to sweets - HEY, LISTEN TO ME!" Griffon screeched as he tried his best to stop V from going outside by grabbing onto his shirt with his talons, almost ripping the white fabric to shreds.
But, the poet would not be stopped. Despite the demonic bird's efforts, he still made his way towards the door. He grabbed the brass door knob and turned to his familiar one last time before throwing it open. "I swear: if he so much as touch a single strand of her hair, I will send him back to the Underworld where he belongs! I don't care if I die in the process! I want to see him suffer and I don't care if it's the last thing I see before I die!"
"NO, NO, NO, V! YE'RE BEIN' RECKLESS! YE'RE - !"
But, Griffon was too late. V managed to open the door, and,...
The poet and the familiar stared in disbelief at the figure standing before them. Slightly shivering and partly covered with snow was none other than the lovely female that almost drove V to murder.
"(Y/N)?" Both V and Griffon muttered in disbelief. 
How long have you been standing there in the cold?!
Were you,...
Were you listening all this time?!
You smiled at him as you held a small container closer to your chest. "Hi, V! Umm, did I, ahh, come at the wrong time?"
"No! I mean," V stuttered as Griffon quietly retreated to his former position near the shelves. Stepping aside to make way for you, he spoke, " ... please, come in. Make yourself at home."
"Ah! There's no need. I won't stay for too long. I,... just wanna ask for a favor, actually."
"What favor?"
Griffon, who deliberately heard this, sneaked back towards V and positioned himself just behind the door next to the poet to listen to the conversation. Shadow, who seemed to have picked up on the situation, as well, only squinted her eyes as if to let her fellow familiar do his thing.
"You see, uhm," You began quite awkwardly. As used as you were to talking to the opposite gender, you still couldn't shake the unfamiliar feeling you have when talking to V. There seemed to be something in the poet, in the way he looked at you, touched you, and spoke to you, that pulled you in like a moth to the lamp, or the lamb to its shepherd, and you have mixed feelings about this, honestly.
However, it was not the right time to be musing about the mystery that was V. Taking a deep breath and inching closer towards him, you spoke once more. " ... I've heard from Nico that you can play the violin."
"Oh! Why, yes, of course!" V, who caught a whiff of your lovely flowery - scent cologne and going internally crazy about it, confirmed with a huge smile on his face. "How can I help you?"
"Can I invite you to work tomorrow? Do you still have that violin of yours?"
"She's asking him out!" Griffon whispered back to Shadow. After hearing this, she stood from the fluffy carpet and made her way to the demonic bird to also listen in on the conversation.
"I'm afraid that - "
"You can't come?" You whispered, feeling sad and disappointed with his answer. "It's okay, though. I understand. It's all too sudden, after all."
"The shy boy is ruinin' it!" Griffon savagely whispered, making Shadow raise her paw in an effort to push her master forward towards you.
"No! W - what I mean is," V stuttered ( at the same time Shadow’s paw almost made contact with his bottom ), wanting to clear out the confusion. " ... I'm afraid I don't have a violin right now. I would love to go but,..."
You knitted your brows, your mind deep in thought. Then, raising a gloved hand and pointing at the ceiling, you looked back at him with your eyes wide open. "My partner has one! I mean, she left it there, I know! You see, we have a thanksgiving party tomorrow, and we're short on participants. My partner was supposed to play the violin during one of the book reading sessions. But, she said she needed to take a break.”
"Is that so?" His confused face finally clearing up and his tensed shoulders finally relaxing, he smiled and nodded. "I can do that, yes. I will come."
Griffon and Shadow peaked just in time to see you leaping in the air in excitement and grabbing V's sleeve with your free hand as you smiled all too brightly at him.
"Thank you so much! Oh, God! You don't know how relieved I' am to know that you'll come."
"Anything for you, my dear." V answered, once again making your face heat up. "What time shall I pick you up?"
Oh, why does he have that killer, adorable, smug smile?! "Oh, uhm, would seven in the morning be okay? The program won't start until eleven but, we still have to prepare."
"Seven o'clock, it is."
"And here, gran insists I give you this."
V received, yet, another jar of cookies. Classic chocolate - chipped, this time. And it's still so warm and looked so delicious,...
"Could you, please, deliver my gratitude to your sweet gran?" V asked, knowing how much Adelaide missed her own grandfather, who looked exactly like him.
"Will do." You smiled at him. "See you tomorrow, V!" Taking a step back, you waved at him and finally went back home.
"Good night, my dear." V said, also waving at you as he was watching you make your way safely to your house. And when he turned around, he noticed both Shadow and Griffon looking up at him.
"Ohoho, someone's gonna get fat this Christmas!" Griffon mocked as he focused his golden eyes on the jar at V's hands. "Hey, we're invited, right?"
