SO~ this is coming out of nowhere, isn't it? well, this is an idea of mine that was supposed to be a one-shot type thing, a test if you will, in fact, this was supposed to come out BEFORE Midnight Mile but I never got it finished... until now at least! however, though it is no longer going to be a one-shot because I really like this idea and having it as a one-shot would make it more rushed and less detailed in general (in my opinion) so I decided to make it a full-on story detailing the love story between Makoto Naegi and Sae Nijima. So i hope you guys enjoy and DFTBA
Luck in Prosecution Chapter One: How Did They Keep This A Secret For So Long.
Sae was acting strange.
Now being the sister of one of the greatest Prosecutors in Japan she would know if something was up, and OH BOY WAS THERE! Whenever she had a day off she claimed to be doing overtime only for the offices to prove her wrong, whenever she returned from this "Overtime" she always had her clothes in a messy state and the brightest smile on her face despite her lipstick being smeared and there was kisses in her usual shade on her cheek and neck. Something was definitely up, and she would get to the bottom of it!
"Are you sure this is the place Mako-chan?"
Although she would never work up the courage to do it alone.
"I am positive this is the place that sis was meeting with whoever she was talking to on the phone," I said looking back up to my best friend and older brother figure Akira Kurusu and his girlfriend Haru Okumura somebody I preserved as a sister (Especially after fighting with them as phantom thieves for so long)
"But why the red light district?" asked Haru, "Your sister does not seem like the type of person to sell her body for money."
"No I don't think it is that." said Akira, "Maybe she is reversing the roles here and doing the nasty with male strippers or something?"
"THAT SOUNDS EVEN WORSE!" I shouted
"I was just joking, Mako-Chan, although I think that if she was doing that she would have more than just smeared lipstick and mascara," said Akira before looking over my shoulder
"Fair enough, But don't scare me like that!" I said before looking back to the city streets beside us.
And as soon as I did I spotted something that stood out like a sore thumb, a teenager looking at one of the jewelry stalls with intrigue. He was notably shorter than almost all of the people around him, almost like he was the size of Futaba. He has spiky, desaturated brown hair with a prominent ahoge, and from what she could tell washed-out hazel eyes. He wears a zipped-up dull green hoodie with a red stripe along the zipper, an open black jacket with gold buttons over the hoodie, black jeans, and red sneakers with white toes. Now, this person would be strange enough when it came to the field of people around him but it was his apparent knowledge of the contents of the table and the fact that people that were passing by were asking him about something and laughing after he respond and giving him head pats, not just the males that passed by him but the women and the stand owner that he was standing in front of him knew him with almost familial gestures as he paid her the money. The question was, Why?
He turned toward the stand that we were standing at and smiled before running over to us and shouting, "HEY NIJIMA-CHAN!"
At that moment I could see Haru and Akira tense for a second as I watched the boy run over to us… and then past us, over into my sister's arms where they promptly hugged and soon after kissed in front of us before separating and they both said the same thing, "Happy two year anniversary!"
Two years… they have been together for TWO YEARS. HOW HAVE I NOT FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS?
"So what do you have planned, Makoto?" asked Sis
AND HE SHARES MY NAME?!
"I was thinking of a nice dinner with the love of my life."
Oh god, the words he was spouting were pure gold too (not really but hey for someone who has no relationship experience it was working pretty well)!
"Sounds romantic." said Sis, "Although I am wondering how long it will take before you let me pay for dinner for once, or even make it for you."
There was a slight blush on his face before retorting, "you know I can't do that, a Kuzuriu knows that they must be gentlemanly!"
Kuzuryu? As in the Kuzuryu faction of the damn MAFIA! Who was this kid?
"Please don't bring up your adopted family's motos, it is unbecoming of you," said Sis
"Well, it is true! And besides, you provide enough while we're in bed."
And at that statement, my sister blushed, before hugging him again and whispering something into the teen's ear while also grabbing at his ass… WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON?!
"Let's go then Nijima-Chan, Don't want our table to be stolen," said Makoto
"Let's go then," said Sis
They walked away from us and as soon as I thought that they were out of earshot i pulled out my phone and texted the rest of the Phantom Thieves,
"MY SISTER IS DATING A YOUNGER MAN!" I texted, "HE MIGHT BE A GANGSTER!"
"Mako-chan, I doubt he is a gangster, he did not seem like the type," said Haru
"Wait Makoto, What the hell are you talking about? You're weirding me out damn it!" texted Ryuji
"I thought it was weird that my sister was going out all day for her days off so Haru, Akira, and I decided to investigate." I texted back
"OH I KNOW WHO YOU MEAN!" texted Futaba "Naegi-Kun is not a gangster tho"
"Wait, they know him?" asked Akira
"This Naege person is new to me." said Yusuke, "then again your sister's love life was never something that was very important when we stole her treasure."
"Futaba Sakura! Give me everything you know about Makoto Naegi!"
"OH, I know him too! Only through reputation though, He should be the Ultimate Lucky student Right?" Said Ann
"Yuppers, here is a man that is mostly normal that got into one of the most prestigious schools on the planet with only luck." Said Futaba, "the only relation he has with the Kuzuriyuu clan is that they are blood brothers by mafia rules."
"How do you know any of this?" Asked Haru
"Hacked into the servers a while back, A year ago if I remember right, however, that was before the servers got an Ultimate level firewall protecting their info," said Futaba
"You know I kinda figured as much." said Akira, "That is something Futaba would do in spades"
"Makoto?"
And that question was like a gun going off on the streets of Tokyo. I turn around to see Sis looking at me with a look of confusion and intrigue with her "boyfriend" standing beside her knocking on a drainage pipe for some reason before looking toward us.
"Hey, Sae! Long time no see!" said Akira
YOU IDIOT!
"What are you three doing in this area? Last I checked teenagers are not supposed to be here until they are over 18," said Sis
"Well, THAT is a poor excuse! Remember I do have a part-time job in this area," said Akira
Never mind Akira you are a genius!
"Last I checked Haru Okumura did not have one here." said Sis, "Or my sister."
GOD DAMN IT!
"Well isn't he a teenager too?" asked Haru while pointing at the other Makoto
THANK YOU, LORD, FOR GIVING US HARU!
"He is a special informant from Hope's Peak." she Lied, you know for a prosecutor she really is bad at lying
"So your Sae-chan's sister, it is a pleasure to meet you!" said the other Makoto, "My name is Makoto but I know that will get confusing so just call my Naegi-Kun ok!"
"It is a pleasure," I said in the most polite tone of voice I could muster
"So a lucky student is your informant, why is that?" said Akira with likely the biggest smirk I have ever seen apare on his face
"Yes, He was personally recommended to me by the Ultimate detectives themselves," said Sae
Oh, we are getting closer I can taste it!
"The things sort of got a little more heated after our fifth meeting though," said Naegi-Kun
AH HA! The weak link in the boy!
"What do you mean by heated?" asked Akira
Oh, he knows! YES! I am so glad I am on your side!
"Oh I will explain in a second, Let me just do something real quick," said Naegi-Kun before grabbing a tiny piece of concrete throwing it into the drainage pipe with a loud CLANG as it made an impact on the pipe.
Suddenly screaming could be heard from the roof of the building and a reverberating CLANG as it came out louder than the first one, likely because of a subwoofer on top of the roof that was hooked to a mic that was put in the drainage pipe, now dear reader you might be asking why didn't I think of that? I wanted to do so but I did not have enough money for one.
"You guys can come down now!" Naegi bellowed up to the roof
"DATING AN OLDER WOMAN AND HAVEING SEX WITH HER IS AGAINST SCHOOL POLICY!" shouted a voice from the roof, "YOU KNOW THAT MAKOTO!"
Sis facepalmed at that although I could not hear it over the sound of Akira laughing his ass off while Haru and Naegi-Kun were now reduced to either a simple blush and a smile or a blushing mess respectively.
"Welp… guess that cat is out of the bag," said Naegi-Kun before pulling his hoodie over his face to cover his blush.
It was only a few hours later (and MANY texts later) Cafe Leblanc was essentially filled to the brim with people, of course, there was our small party of people (plus talking cat) but there was also the party of people Naegi-Kun brought with him and to say it was large was just plain wrong! Likely more than 16 people were brought into the cafe at that moment. Most of them seemed normal, like the Ultimate detectives in the form of Kyoko Kirigiri and Shuichi Saihara or the Ultimate gamer in the form of Chiaki Nanami but most of them were likely insane other than them! Like the Ultimate (Neo) Aikido master Tenko Kaboshira who was trying to start a fight with Yusuke because he was drawing instead of speaking with the group, or the Ultimate breeder who was claiming that Morgana was a dark god, which he was not entirely wrong because he could talk and was a being of the velvet room, but still! So finally somebody decided to ask the question that was on everyone's mind.
"So what's up with your relationship?" I asked, I mean if anyone was going too it might as well have been me!
"I would like to know as well!" Said the Ultimate Swimmer, Aoi Asahina, "Mainly because I think I might have acted as a home breaker for a bit."
"Well for one I was aware of the fake dates from the start Aoi, Makoto told me about you and frankly you are the only person I trust with my boyfriend in general." said Sae, "how I ended up with him is a slightly different story."
