...oOo...
Revy groaned as her bedroom door opened
"Rock I swear to god I will put this bullet in your chest if you open those curtains," she stated lazily reaching for her guns...wherever the fuck they were.
"I not rock" a Taiwanese woman stated coming over to the bed and ripping away the covers instead
"Look chinglish, I'm tired and I spent the night drinking so why don't you fuck off."
"No can do, I know that you are planning trip to get rock and we can work together" she said quite happily "we have job in Japan and we need you"
Revy opened her eyes and glared up at the woman
Dutch had stated that she was not allowed to go and get him since he had his own personal stuff to take care of and he'd made it very clear that there'd be consequences for disobeying
"I'm not allowed to go" revy said
"you no have choice" Shenhua said before Revy's eyes went as wide as dinner plates
The gunslinger slowly looked to her side where a gothic girl stood smiling as she stabbed her with a needle
"Fuck..." revy breathed as her world started to fade.
...oOo...
Pissed.
Fucking pissed.
That's what revy was.
She hated flying on aeroplanes to rescue someone who had called Dutch in saying "oh my mother's sick and I'll probably be staying here in Japan for a while, so don't worry about me no matter how much time passes"
Yea, right.
Revy had spent the last three years making sure rock didn't get assassinated or any shit like that and he was getting dragged back to Roanapur to be punished for just sneaking away after getting kidnapped and thinking he could just go back to his normal life
"You should try not to break chair arm," a Taiwanese woman stated from in front of revy in her 1st class seat as she sipped on champagne
"Remind me again why this visit is so fucking elegant?" revy asked with tranquil anger
"Because we also doing job in Tokyo which require little diplomacy and you only person who speak proper Japanese while rock doing whatever fuck he doing; also rock just bonus so if he get in way of proper job we drop his ass"
"How does that even work anyway?" sawyer asked ignoring the last comment "Did he teach you the language?"
Revy just looked out of the window and fixed her eyes on the snow white clouds
'Well we had to do something for six months' she thought letting her mind wander
...oOo...
(Flashback)
"So this is the kanji word for tree?" revy asked pointing at the figure rock had written in the snow
She already knew enough Japanese to get by but most of it was informal and impolite
"Yea" rock smiled happily "and this is dog"
"remind me again how the fuck this is meant to help me in any way?" she asked getting slightly more pissed off as the wind speed increased outside the small hillside cave they had climbed their way up to in the fucking snow storm.
"It probably won't but it's killing time right?" rock asked in that bullshit optimistic tone he loved to use
Revy sighed and stared down at the symbols again
"if we make it out of here we're going to the yellow flag and spending the night drinking our asses off" revy stated
"On me" rock added quite happily "any drink you want and you can even shoot at the bar"
Revy then couldn't stop that warm feeling inside of her from creeping up to her face and forcing her to smile
"Yea" she breathed internally cursing herself for falling in love with such an idiot.
...oOo...
Rock sighed as he finally arrived home
He had spent the day with his mother catching up on what he'd been doing for the past year
She seemed ecstatic when he told her that he'd been the communications manager for a delivery company but not so much when he went into more detail.
He'd already been here, what?
A month?
He'd imagined revy would call him or Dutch would call back instead of just accepting that he was going to be gone for the year
The Japanese businessman couldn't help but smile as he opened his front door
"What's so funny?" his older brother asked stepping into this home
"Nothing" rock said firmly before receding back into his thoughts
He'd spent the worst part of his first week clearing out all the dirty and rotten things in his apartment which nobody had bothered to touch since his landlord didn't really have any idea where he'd gone or for how long he'd be gone for, and because he didn't know what to do with all of rocks stuff.
Rock stepped into his apartment locking the door behind him and looking out of the window out of sheer habit
"What are you doing?" his brother asked
"Nothing" rock answered
In Roanapur he'd been stalked so many times it was not even funny anymore.
Rock slowly started to make his way to his bathroom the pure thought of having a hot relaxing shower already making him feel better,
"I'm going to go take a shower," his brother said making rock give an irritated sigh
"Go ahead" he said going to take a seat on his couch
Rock closed his eyes and relaxed waiting for his brother to finish up
He hadn't invited him per say so he felt no obligation to pay any real attention to him
Just as he, began to truly relax there was a shriek from the bathroom
Rock was about to go see what was wrong when he heard the familiar click of a gun being pointed to his head
'Great' he thought ducking a gunshot
Rock turned to face his assailant only to see none other than—
"Son of a—" he hissed as she jumped over the couch and kicked him in the chest making him hit the floor. Hard.
His assailant smiled at him wickedly before stomping on his chest mercilessly
"Hello there partner" she smiled
"Oh my, rock your brother is so cute" a Taiwanese woman said dragging his only half dressed brother out of the bathroom
(Half dressed as in boxers and shirt only)
"w-what is going on here, who are these people Rokuro?" Ryouichi asked as Shenhua pressed her blade closer to his neck
"Their my associates" rock said before gasping in pain as revy once again stepped on his chest
"this is how this is going to go down" she said in Chinese "you're going to tell me just WHAT THE FUCK YOU WERE THINKING!..." the red haired Chinese-American took a deep breath and chuckled "when you suddenly decided to disappear to Japan"
"Look miss whatever the problem is here—" Ryouichi started trying to be diplomatic but immediately stopped as revy took a shot at him
"Can it bitch" revy snapped in Japanese before once again pointing her gun at rock
"Look revy I'm only here because my mom may not have that long to live and thought I'd be here for her as long as I could"
"So you just take off without any warning? I thought you were kidnapped! Do you know how fucking worried I was?!"
"Aw how very sweet" Shenhua laughed, "what do I do with what his face here?" she asked darkly
"Don't hurt my brother Shenhua" rock said in a rather blank tone, honestly he didn't really have any emotional attachment to his brother
He'd always been that person he was meant to be bonded to but never really got to know well enough to bond with, but that didn't mean that he had no moral obligation to protect him
"Alright, but only cauz you say so" she said happily removing her blade from his brothers throat
"These are the sort of people you paired yourself with in that hellhole?" his brother said incredulously
"hey Roanapur may be a hellhole but at least it's not a...wait I started the sentence without thinking of a reasonable ending to it" another voice came as a blonde walked out into the living room holding a mini laptop on which he was typing on
"Benny" rock smiled "I guess that means the entire companies here"
"Well yea...but no." Benny sighed taking a seat on the couch "Dutch wouldn't let revy come without proper supervision so he let us take a job here and became mission control back in Roanapur"
"So Shenhua?" rock asked staring at the Taiwanese beauty
"chang" the blonde said simply
"And sawyer" he said looking at the woman stood silently at the other end of the apartment holding a chainsaw
"Also chang and possibly balalaika" Benny said stopping and looking up at the group "also lotton or whatever, it seems like someone's stirring something up in the country" Benny stated "and since chainsaw is here it means that some of us may get seriously hurt"
"We get paid big bucks to do job then more money to bring you back to Roanapur" Shenhua smiled playing with her knifes
"Can I get up now?" rock asked revy who pressed her gun down on his forehead
"No, you know why?" revy asked angrily
"Because I was a bad person and I have to repent" rock said almost comically
He had heard revy do this act with Sister Yolanda once
"You FUCKER" she hissed hitting him with the hilt of the gun but somehow that didn't stop him from laughing
His brother watched this exchange with disgust
"Are you two...together?" he asked which made the room fall silent
"What?" revy questioned with complete cluelessness
"Like together?" he asked "girlfriend and boyfriend?"
"No" rock stated "she's my fiancée"
He had been joking but the statement had made revy go silent and completely red with embarrassment
"Oh" his brother said "really?..."
He didn't sound happy about it. At all. But he seemed to have accepted it as a fact
"I was only—" rock started
"Look rock, I'm gonna go head back down to the hotel we're staying at" Benny said pulling a wicked smile to the joke that his brother didn't seem to pick up on "you and revy have fun alright?"
"I will also leave" Shenhua yawned heading for the door after the computer genius
Sawyer gave a small nod before also exiting which only left revy, rock and Ryouichi
"So...revy" Ryouichi said clearing his throat "I'll go get changed and also leave you two alone"
"It's not—" revy started but rock quickly smacked away her gun and gave a very contented smile as he pulled her into a hug (read: restraining hold)
"Thanks onii-san" he said as his brother walked into the bathroom and was soon also on his way
Revy struggled against him but rock was physically stronger than her
"What the fuck just happened?" Revy asked her partner in confusion as the front door slammed shut
"You just saved me from thousands of meetings with a billion different girls as my mother tries to set me on a course for happiness" rock smirked
He knew his mothers character very well, she was the smothering type who wanted to have grandkids before she died and even though Ryouichi was married, him and his wife had no time for such a thing as kids
He also knew as a fact that she had gone as far as to hope that he'd knock up some random girl one day and tell her that he was going to take responsibility as a father.
"You fucker we're not engaged!" revy snapped, "Tell him the truth!"
She had now grabbed him by the collar and was shaking him
"No way, unless you want to see me actually get engaged to some other girl"
They were not together.
It was definitely never like that but they had a rule
'Sleep with whoever the fuck you like but don't get attached'
How this rule came to be, rock had no idea but it was there and he had realised that a long time ago
"Fuck you" revy said pushing away from him and standing up
"So did you miss me while I was gone?" rock asked "I mean it was only a month but you must have missed me"
"Of course I missed you" revy admitted in a sulky tone "y-you usually make me coffee in the fucking morning and bring it to my bedroom"
Rock smiled
He knew the reason was far more meaningful than just that but he didn't press her any further. She'd always had commitment and admitting issues so he knew full well that she'd never really say that she missed him because they'd formed a not so platonic but disappointingly celibate bond.
Revy spared a glance at her incredibly happy partner
"I'm gonna go now" she sighed also heading for the door
"You don't have to go" rock said, "you could stay here"
She could but she was scared of what might have happened. She had missed him a lot while he was gone and didn't want to do anything stupid because of all these feelings that were boiling up inside of her
"Fuck no," she snapped heading out of his apartment door.
Yep. He was truly an idiot.
There you go
I've finally updated
I'd just like to take this time to say that my spelling and grammar are usually off and MS doesn't always pick up on it (maybe because someone messed with it on my computer or whatever I dunno)
Also that I may make mistakes that (even if MS doesn't spot it) I probably won't be able to either because I have a hard time with English spelling and grammar (srsly I grew up in England but I still have a rough time getting the hang of it)
I did my best on it thought so if you're going to complain about details like that then. Just go away.
Seriously.
Leave, I don't particularly think I need you to make me feel bad.
I really only see writing fanfic as a hobby in which I could do as lazily as I wanted and (hopefully) not get persecuted for doing so
It's also one of the reasons why I didn't really update consistently with this.
I WAS planning to not update at all and delete it but some people actually seem to like this so I've decided to continue .
But seriously if you make a big deal out of misspelling and grammar then I automatically give up even if I do like the story I'm writing.
Any who
I was going t update yesterday but the internet was like "nope not going to work on the computer buut I am going to work on your phones and laptops"
Y'know because you can connect your phone to your computers wifi.
:D
If I get enough review on this then I'll update as soon as possible
Oh, and the entire part about revy being seen as rocks fiancée?
Kinda important.
Panda. Out.
