MafiaTale: Family Means
Ch.6~ Second Chance
They brought in a chair for me, I sat on it and Pap put Sans jacket over my shoulders. I held the fabric to me as I saw Sans laying motionless in the bed. At least his soul was still beating, but he wasn't showing signs of waking up. It's been almost six hours since I arrived, the healing team was stretched thin. I wish I had enough magic to heal him but I could only repair something enough to stop bleeding.
"Pap…" a voice called; I didn't bother looking keeping my eyes on Sans.
"Sometimes I wonder what the world has given, some days I wonder what it will take. Still, the world is a wonderful place, cuz it gave me you for a time. The world took a lot, but it gave me much too. Still, I pray that it ain't yet your time. Cuz I want to do so much with you. Every day that you're here's a blessin', and I thank the world for them. Still, I can't quite picture a day when I'm not blessed with you. So, life take what you need from me, just leave him to the world. I just can't quite bare a world without him. After all, I just found him. Take my talent, take my youth, take the song from within. Just please oh please leave him. That's all I ask of the world…" I sang, opening my eyes I saw him still lying there.
What do I do? If it nicked his soul, he could be seconds away from falling down. I don't want to lose him, please not him too… You already took my little sisters… Took my Ma… I felt tears falling down my cheeks again. I began to rub my eyes with my palms, crying won't make him better…
"Out of my way!" Zu yelled, I turned to see her in the doorway. "So the rumours were true."
"Z-zu…" I stated, she walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.
"I came as soon as I hear the rumours." She hushed, I leaned into her chest resisting the urge to break down again. "Mitsuhide get your ass in here!"
She pulled back and I was Mitsuhide come in he had his hair tied back in a small ponytail. Wait, Mitsuhide could use his magic! He was known as the Eraser, as he could take time away from his enemies basically speeding up the natural death cycle. But few knew that he also could do the reverse, he could add that stolen time to someone else. This would extend their natural life or instantly heal grievous injuries.
"Mitsu please!" I begged, he walked to Sans bedside and smirked down at me.
"Don't worry I'll help him; you know how much we hate seeing you crying." He stated, I smiled at him and I heard a commotion at the door.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" Undyne screamed, Pap was next to her.
"Undyne let them help!" I pleaded, she looked to me.
"Mitsuhide is going to heal Sans for you all," Zu stated walking up to the fish woman. "I don't like seeing my sister crying, and I know she loves that man. So as soon as I heard the rumours I came here."
"H-heal him…" Pap stated, she smiled at him.
"Your big brother will be back to his old self once Mitsu does his work." She comforted, "So Undyne gonna fight me now?"
"Is she serious?" Undyne asked looking to me.
"Mitsu can use his special technique to heal Sans," I answered, she sighed and leaned against the door.
"Go ahead," Undyne stated, I smiled and looked to Sans.
Mitsu was calling his magic, he stored all the time he took on marks on his arms. He could choose how much to take and put out; it was his only form of magic. Some humans can be born with a magical skill, sometimes it might be the only magic they have. Zu had the skill to see souls, she could tell personality and other details in seconds. It's what made her so good as a mafia boss.
I saw the tattoo on his arms recede as he poured the stolen time into Sans. I had only seen him use his magic in this fashion one time. He had used it on Zuk after she had been shot in the stomach. Just like then a light shone as he healed Sans. He pulled his hand back and I watched Sans eyes light up.
"Sans!" I cried and raced forward hugging him tightly.
"Wha? Yashi?" he quizzed, I pulled back and smiled at him.
"It's me." I soothed, he pushed himself up looking confused.
"Where am I?" he asked, he must be confused…
"You're back at a safe house," I answered, he turned his head.
"Mitsuhide?" he stated.
"Don't go making her cry so much," Mitsuhide stated, I felt him tussle my hair.
"Well things are fixed up, Undyne mind taking us to Asgore, I think he and I need to chat about how to end this Angel nuisance." Zuk chimed, I turned to see Undyne lead her and Mitsuhide out of the room.
"Brother, how are you feeling?" Pap quizzed walking over to the bed.
"Fine, bit confused." He admitted, I turned to him smiling.
"Not surprising, you almost died there. Zuk brought Mitsuhide here to heal you for me." I explained, he looked up at me confused.
"Ain't he the Eraser?" he stated, I nodded.
"Yeah, not many know that he can reverse the effect, he's pretty choosy who he'll use it for. I've only seen him use it on Zuk." I admitted, he reached up to his chest. "Hey it's alright, you're all healed up now."
"I fucked up… Sorry I worried ya." He apologized looking down.
"No need to apologize for getting hurt." I huffed, grabbing his chin I tilted his head up I kissed him quickly. "Just keep coming home, that's all I ask."
"Will do." He hummed, I pulled back and he turned to Pap.
"Sorry, Pap." He apologized; Pap turned his head to hide the tears pricking his eyes.
"Just be more careful next time." He huffed; Sans chuckled.
"Sure thing, Pap." He soothed; I was glad he was going to be okay.
(Zuk's POV)
"So Asogre I think you know why I came," I stated as I sat down at the table in the meeting room.
"The Angels." He replied leaning his head on his hands as he leaned over the table.
"I think it's about time we got our gangs to team up and take care of this pest. You see I've been working on taking down these fools for a while now, I got a bit of a problem with them." I elaborated leaning back in my chair to cross my thighs.
"What do you suggest?" he quizzed, I smirked leaning forward.
"I suggest we lure them in with a fake turf war, cause a lot of ruckuses, make it look like we're fighting. Meanwhile, I can use the connections I've already made inside the Angels to cut a few resources from them." I explained he slammed his hands on the table rising up from his seat.
"You have men inside their ranks?!" he exclaimed; I slowly rose up.
"Yes, have been working on this for a long time, you know their connections to the church. I used that to gain access into their ranks, I now know where their biggest stockpiles of weapons and ammo are stored in the city. We distract them with the fact turf war and when they plan to strike, we take down these stockpiles. Explosives planted by the good fathers I planted in their ranks."
"You think this will work?"
"Seeing the Monsters open will be enough to bait them, you know as well as I do how much they want to take you down. Considering what just happened and my gang's reputation they would see us as taking advantage of the situation to gain more turf. They won't question it."
"How do I know you won't backstab us?"
"Well, my little sister is dating Sans, Mitsuhide and I just healed him before we came to meet you. I have an invested interest in keeping this good relationship going."
"You healed him..?"
"He's someone special to my sister, and I'm sure you know the rumours enough to know I will do anything for my sister."
"Alright, let's discuss the details and get this plan going."
"Glad to work with you."
(Yashi's POV)
I hopped out of Pap's car and turned to offer Sans a hand he brushed it off getting out of the car himself. He looked pretty bad, his outfit was covered in blood and he looked tired. I heard Pap hop out of his car and I led them to the door. I unlocked the door and ushered them in, Sans needs to rest. Mitsuhide was able to heal him but that didn't change the fact that he spent almost twenty-four hours at death's door.
"I'll go run a bath, those clothes are a lost cause so put them aside and I'll burn them later," I informed, he nodded and I headed to the bathroom.
Entering the bathroom, I went to the bath and began to run the water. As I waited for it to warm, I grabbed some towels and set them on a stool by the tub. Testing the water, I smiled, perfect, plugging the drain I grabbed the soap and poured a little into the tub. I went to the vanity and leaned against it sighing.
"Alright, the bath is running, I'll throw his clothes into the furnace while he relaxes. I should head out to grab ingredients for dinner to." I listed, I heard the door creak and I saw Sans in the doorway in only his boxers.
"Pap took the clothes to the furnace for ya." He stated, I smiled and motioned to the bath.
"The bath will be ready soon, anything, in particular, you want for dinner?" I asked.
He walked over to the bath and dipped his hand in, I could see what looked like a scar along two of his ribs. Must be where he was stabbed, I cringed a bit at the mental image. He turned off the faucet and sat on the edge of the tub. He looked troubled, I walked over to him.
"Something's bothering ya still, right…?" he muttered; I turned my head away.
"You're always rushing like you're not going to be here…" I muttered, I heard him rise and I felt him grab my hands.
"I'm sorry, guess that comes with the job, ya know it ain't easy or safe work… I just don't want to run out of time before I get to experience things with you. You're the first real relationship I've had." He admitted, I turned to look at him he had tears in his eyes. "I ain't planning on leaving ya anytime soon, but sometimes things don't go as planned…"
I reached up and cupped his cheek and he leaned into my palm; he's right we never know what life could throw especially living the way we do. I mean we've only been together a few months and I had already moved him into my home. Guess we both lived life in the fast lane… I stood on my tippy-toes and kissed him; he was my first real relationship too.
"You don't have to rush when it comes to me, I think we're on the same pace." I soothed, he smirked and wrapped his arms around my hips.
"You may have a point there." He hummed, I kissed him quickly.
"Now you didn't answer me earlier, what do you want for dinner?" I quizzed.
"Besides you?" he purred, I laughed and poked his side.
"Cheeky bastard." I teased, he chuckled.
"Anything sounds good."
"You know that's the hardest request."
"No one said I wasn't a difficult man."
"I guess so, go get in your bath before it cools off. I'm going to go out to get some ingredients."
I pulled away and blew him a kiss before leaving the bathroom and shutting the door behind me. I headed to the main room as I saw Pap emerge from the basement. He was such a good boy, he walked over to me with a smile.
"Need anything Moll?" he asked, I smiled.
"Think you can drive me to the store, I need to pick up ingredients for dinner. Also, it's your choice since your brother is being indecisive." I answered, he tilted his head confused.
"My choice." He stated, I giggled.
"Of course, you'll be staying for dinner won't you." I insisted, he smiled.
"I'd be glad to, shall we head out then." He chimed bowing a bit, I nodded. Such a sweet young man.
(Sans' POV)
I stood in front of the mirror tying my tie, I was all clean and the bath eased the last of my aches. Finishing my tie, I looked myself over, I looked fairly good considering all the damage I had taken. Mitsuhide's healing really was a miracle worker, all I had was scars over my ribs where I'd been shanked.
I really must have been close to dying, I could see the puffiness in Yashi's eyes. She'd been crying, most likely for a long time. She kept checking in on me too, I wonder how long I was out of commission. I'd been so close to never getting to fulfill my dreams with her. I wanted to marry her, I wanted to have a family. I wanted that stupid domestic lifestyle I never had. I wanted her.
"We're back!" Yashi chimed breaking me out of my thoughts.
I headed out of the room and down the stairs, looking into the kitchen I saw her directing Pap's around with bags. I guess he had gone with her shopping, she noticed me and waved me over. Entering the kitchen, I saw her laying out ingredients on the table.
"Pappy suggested we make stew, so I'm making you some Irish stew." She informed, I nodded as she grabbed some beef from a bag. "You two can go relax while I get cooking."
"Don't need help," I stated, she shook her head.
"Nope, besides I know how bad you are with this kind of thing. You two go relax." She urged, I nodded and led Pap back into the living room.
"She keeps such a clean house," Pap stated, of course, he would notice that.
"Yeah, she's a damn good cook too," I added taking a seat on the couch. "Sit down."
He took a seat on the other end of the couch, he was always so polite, always been that way. I remember when he was small and I just joined he used to hang in a clubhouse. All the ladies of the night adored him, he was their little gentleman, always opening doors for them and pulling out chairs. I'm glad he never changed even after he joined the family himself.
"You two are a good match." He stated, I nodded leaning back into the couch.
"Yeah, pretty lucky to have a lady like her," I admitted, he chuckled and turned to me.
"So when are you going to ask her to marry you." He whispered, I chuckled.
"Give it a month or so, I'll propose by then," I replied in a hushed tone.
"Don't skip the ring." He lectured, I snickered.
"Never," I affirmed, he nodded.
"I'm glad you're all healed, I was worried when I came back to find you like that… You were under a dead body bleeding heavily with a knife in your chest… The healer was able to fix those up but the knife nicked your soul…" he explained, I reached over to touch his arm.
"Sorry, you had to see me like that." I apologized; he turned his head away tearing up.
"I called Yashi when we got back to the safe house, she raced straight from the Villa. She looked ready to kill, but when I brought her to you, she broke down… She refused to leave your side…" he continued; I nodded my head sadly. "Please be more careful."
"I will, I got a lot to come home to." I soothed, he chuckled.
"That you do." He agreed.
(Yashi's POV)
I slipped out of the clothes and into my nightdress, I felt arms wrap around me. I leaned back into Sans chest, he leaned down and nuzzled my neck. I giggled a bit, then he began to suck and lick at it. I gasped as I felt him reach down to cup my groin. He was eager tonight.
"I want ya, wanna feel ya." He asked.
"Me too," I answered, he slipped his hand under my nightdress to tug at my panties.
"You're so fucking perfect." He muttered, I shivered as he slipped a finger into me.
"Sans." I gasped, he chuckled and he rubbed my clit.
"Let's get you nice and wet for me." He hummed, I twitched in his hold as he played with me.
I twitched hard as he found my sensitive spot and began to toy with it, I collapsed into him. He chuckled and scooped me up carrying me to the bed still fingering me. I whimpered as he pulled his finger out to lay me down on my back. He crawled over me and pulled me into a heated kiss and his hand worked its way back. I could feel how wet I was getting as he teased my clit.
"Sans, please," I begged, he chuckled pulling his finger out.
"Don't worry love." He hushed, he spread my legs as he pulled down his boxers. "I can never get enough of you."
