Chapter Text
Morning swept inside Sae's bedroom, bright and quite unpleasant.
Ugh...
Why?
Why did morning always come so soon?
Sae groaned softly as he sat up, his legs tangled with the sheets.
The first he checked was his phone — which thankfully,was free of notifications.
A very rare sight.
And no. It was not because he had a lot of 'friends' greeting him good morning. It was becuse of the contracts.
The contracts of targets and people who had no respect for time.
However, as long as it payed good money, Sae could not be less concerned.
He stripped off his clothing and stepped into the shower, the water hotter than necessary, cascading down his back. But Sae preferred it that way. It soothed his scars in ways that antidotes could never.
His usual routine was done — face cream, moisturizer, etcetera. His hair, however, was in a worst shape than usual. No matter, Sae had dealt with worse.
He slicked his wretched bangs back with the same precision,like a surgeon with their patient.
Perfect.
Perfect was what expectations that had been set for Sae from birth. The expectations were high as hell. He had worked for this reputation and he sure as hell wasn't going to give up that horrid training in Spain just because he was, what? Lazy? Yeah, no that was not Sae Itoshi.
Isn't and never will be, in the far, far future.
Sae walked over to his bed, unplugging his phone from the charger.
Ah, 'Demon' had sent a message.
As expected.
Demon:
Lashess
We gotta meet at 6 in the evening for sm discussion 🙄
You:
Okay.
Anyways, back to the matter at hand.
Bunny Iglesias.
He was about to have a hard time with that ass.
And Sae swore to make him suffer.
Made a vow that he would be the one to drain the fight out of Bunny, to see the light fading in those stupid marroon eyes that Sae used to be mesmerized by.
He would probably kill Shidou on the way of that 'spiritual' journey as well.
And then Sae would finally have the peace he deserved.
