Pairing: One-sided Luke x Hunt?
Summary:
Hunt was a pack of compy. Yuga was a saint.
Nipping at heels. When dogs do it, it's cute.
When Hunt nips at Luke's heels, ingratiating himself with the technical next-to-top echelon of KGC and offering to carry stuff for him in his field pack, he's definitely up to something. And nothing good, according to Romin.
It stank.
The scavenger was a pack of compy. He looked small, but could be deceitfully vicious. Slick and underhanded. Oily even. Willing to be an absolute fraud and do virtually anything – execute any scheme – all to service his own interests.
All in the interest of capital. To ride that green stock arrow up, and reach a position where he was the one charging interest.
Gouging gleefully.
Smelling his ill-gotten gains.
Eat the rich…Eat them and take their hard-earned (or not hard-earned) cash! Use the cash to buy, buy, buy! And when profitable, sell, sell, sell!
Mmm! Smells like mon-ay!
All whilst avoiding the payback of Luke's sister's brass knuckles.
She hated him. Hunt.
She only needed to say it once!
Originally, it was fun to tease her brother about his "boyfriend," but the novelty of it wore out fast, and she returned to her tried-and-true method of terrorizing Luke that never gets old: simply existing in his presence.
It was painfully obvious Hunt only stuck around Luke to funnel funds from Luke's wallet. On that, Gakuto and Romin were in agreement.
Luke was the perfect pigeon (could do a mean Hatrap too!). Pockets so deep he wouldn't notice his money missing. So deep he didn't care whether a sizeable sum went missing!
This was a successor whose family spent a small fortune locating him when he up and disappeared, and not once (or twice) were the costs of the search a blip on his radar after the fact.
Yet Luke couldn't shake his sister's insult.
Couldn't drop the notion Hunt was his "boyfriend."
He liked the thought of having one, even if it was Hunt, and even if it was hooey.
Was Hunt really only in it for the money, as Gakuto and Romin contended?
Luke liked to think he wasn't.
Yuga seemed to be the only one championing his success on that front.
