Work Text:
The others were worried for their lover Luca Kaneshiro. They understood that being a mafia boss meant expecting Luca to come home injured time to time. But how Luca seemed to handle his injuries were not ideal. His lovers noticed how careless the mafia boss have been of taking care of himself.
- FLASHBACK: Ike’s Perspective -
“Welcome home, Luca!” Ike greeted the mafia boss who had just come from a long and dangerous mission.
“IKEEEE!!!” Luca eagerly went to hug the novelist from behind the couch, missing him very much after not seeing him for 4 days.
“Are you hurt anywhere?” Luca kissed Ike on the cheek, ignoring his question, “Can we cuddle?”
“Of course. You’ve worked so hard.” Ike could see Luca’s imaginary tail wag. He knew he loved being praised. Luca sat on the couch with Ike, his arms wrapped around the other. Ike stared at the mafia boss endearingly as he watched him slowly drift to sleep. He kissed his neck and gently smiled, however, in the corner of his eye, he noticed blood on Luca’s pants. He took a closed look and realized it was in fact a bullet injury. Ike grimaced at the bloody sight and carefully slipped away from the sleeping mafia boss to get a first aid kit. At the same time, also wondering would Luca hide such an injury. Had he not seen it earlier, it would’ve gotten infected, or worse.
Luca found himself awake in his room. He looked to the other side where Ike waited.
“Luca, you had a bullet injury in your leg. Were you aware of that?”
“Oh.. I’m sorry for worrying you, Ike. I was really exhausted from the mission since I barely had any sleep. The fatigue must’ve distracted me from the pain…” The truth was, Luca WAS aware of the injury. However, he didn’t take care of it because Ike had told him he’d be waiting for him to come home so he didn’t want to keep the novelist waiting any longer. He thought he could slip away to take care of the injury once he had the opportunity, but he couldn’t help but cuddle Ike and fall asleep!
Ike sighed and kissed him on the forehead. “It’s alright. Get some rest okay? I’ll be right here.”
Luca did a grabby motion, gesturing Ike to sleep with him in bed. He couldn’t say no.
- FLASHBACK: Vox’s Perspective -
Vox always woke up early to cook breakfast for his lovers. As he had just entered the kitchen, preparing the ingredients for todays breakfast, Luca came in and sat by the counter.
“Morning, Darling.”
“Mm… morning..” Luca sounded very tired. It was understandable since Vox remembered hearing Luca come home at 2 in the morning.
The demon began cooking breakfast for the others when he heard a tsk from behind the counter. He turned to look at the Mafia boss.
“Are you alright?”
“Ugh- I’m sorry. Received a text about more complicated stuff about work. I also have this horrible headache. Or migraine…?” Luca groaned in annoyance with himself.
“Woah, how about you put the phone down and rest a little?” Vox turned off the stove and went to sit by Luca. “You don’t seem like yourself today, is there anything I can do to help?”
“I’m sorry, Vox- I- I don’t know what’s up with me today. This headache or whatever is killing me and just.. I don’t know… I just seem to be on the edge today. My vision is a little blurry… I forgot where I put my charger…” Luca shakily sighed as his ran his fingers through his messy hair.
“Hm… What happened the other night?”
“A little fuzzy… There was a lot going on. Huh… come to think of it… I do remember being shoved against the wall. Might’ve hit my head.”
“It’s possible that you’ve gotten a concussion. Do you remember how hard you were shoved?”
“Uh.. it couldn’t have been THAT hard enough to give me a concussion. It- it should be fine… I have a mission tonight anyway…”
“Luca darling, It’s admirable how devoted you are to your work, but if you don’t prioritize yourself, it will lead to bad consequences. Please just rest for today.”
In the end, Luca went on the mission anyway. Vox took him to the hospital the next day where it was confirmed it was indeed a concussion and he had to be on bedrest for 5 whole months.
- FLASHBACK: Mysta’s Perspective -
Mysta jumped up from his bed in excitement as he heard Luca come home. They had made a promise earlier that morning to have some… “fun”… as soon he came home. He ran towards the mafia boss and kissed him. Luca wrapped his arms around Mysta’s waist, deepening the kiss. He gently pushed Mysta against the wall and carried him by the legs, continuing the kiss.
“Ooh~ We’re doing it right side up tonight?” Mysta whispered.
“I don’t wanna waste anymore time..” Luca whispered back, using one hand to slide his coat off.
Mysta began undoing Luca’s buttons and the other then started kissing and bitting the detective’s neck, leaving lots of love marks and loves bites. Mysta felt Luca grind his knee against his crotch, letting out a whine.
Safe to say the two had lots of fun that night.
Mysta woke up in his room, his eye settling on Luca who seemed to have woken up not too long ago.
“Morningggg.” Mysta greeted with his morning voice.
“Morning! Had a good rest, Mysta?”
“Mhm!” The detective yawned then sat up to stretch.
Luca stood up, planning to head to the door. However, a sharp pain shot up his leg and he flinched and let out a curse, sitting back down on the bed. Truth was, the mafia boss had injured his right ankle during his mission. He kept the pressure off his right leg the entire time, but he had forgotten all about it until now.
“Luca-?”
“Sorry sorry- I think I stood up too fast.”
“I can smell your lie.”
“What-? No.. hehe…” When it came to lies, Mysta could never be fooled. Luca sighed in defeat.
“So I might’ve injured my ankle on my mission…”
“You’ve been standing on it the entire time?!”
“No- I’ve been keeping all the pressure off of it!”
It took a lot of convincing but Mysta managed to get Luca to visit the hospital where he had to get a cast as it turned out to be a fracture. Nonetheless, while it was a fun night, Mysta was not pleased with the mafia boss taking his injury so lightly.
- FLASHBACK: Shu’s Perspective -
It was 11 at night. Shu wanted to wait for Luca to come home as he felt like cuddling him today. He was scrolling through twitter when he heard the door click and open. He turned to see the mafia boss.
“おかえりなさい~ (Welcome home) How was the mission?”
“Aaa I’m home!! The mission was exhausting.”
“Did anything interesting happen?”
“Hm.. not really. Just lots of fighting.”
“Good to see that you’re alright though.” Shu went to pour Luca a glass of water and handed it to him.
“Ah- thank you.” As Luca finished drinking the water, he placed the glass down and went to give Shu a kiss. He found himself deepening the kiss and just before he went to carry Shu, the sorcerer stopped him.
“I’ll do all the work today, alright? Just relax.”
“Aa Love you, Shu~” Luca said just as Shu kissed him. The sorcerer pushed him onto the couch and continued with their passionate kiss. The two began stripping each other, and when it came to unbuttoning Luca’s button up shirt, Shu noticed something concerning.
“Wait- sorry… but this bruise…” Shu gently felt the dark mark with his thumb.
“It’s just a bruise, Shu. Don’t need to worry about it at all! I’m fine, see?”
“Yeah- sorry… probably just being paranoid…”
The two continued on with what they’ve started. However, later on when Shu had just finished sucking Luca off, he noticed that the bruise had grown larger.
“Luca- the bruise…”
“Oh- that’s a bit weird.”
“You need to go see a doctor. Now.”
“But, Shu!!” Luca let out a small squeak as he felt Shu carry him in his arms.
Luca couldn’t do anything as Shu took him to the hospital. It was where they found out that he had an internal bleed and had to be treated right away.
Very close call! Luca was spoiled by his lovers for the entirety of his recovery.
- END OF FLASHBACK -
It was the present day. Luca mentioned to his lovers that he’ll be back early in the morning so they woke up extra early to wait for the mafia boss to return home. In the meantime, they had a little chat about Luca’s carelessness of taking care of his own injuries.
“Should we talk to him about it?” Ike asked.
“Yeah, before it gets out of hand.” Vox responded. Mysta and Shu hummed in agreement.
The 4 looked at the door as they heard it open. Luca came walking into the house. His white clothing covered his blood and an irritated expression plastered on his usually smiling face.
“Luca darling- are you alright? You’re covered in blood.”
“Huh-? Oh- it’s 5 am, why are you guys up so early?”
“We wanted to greet you when you come home.” Ike replied.
“Awe- thank you, guys. And yeah, I’m alright. Just…” He sighed, “The mission didn’t go as planned and it had to get really bloody. I was honestly expecting a better outcome, but it couldn’t be helped.” He groaned and took off his coat.
Vox got up and took his coat. “I’ll take this to the laundry room for you alright? Give me your blazer too.”
“Thank you, Vox” Luca took off his blazer and handed it to Vox.
“No problem, Darling.” He kissed him on the forehead and left the room.
“I’ll prepare a hot bath for you!” Mysta ran off.
“Aa you guysss… I love you so much!!”
“We love you too, Luca,” Ike smiled.
Shu went over to him to give him a peck on the lips and handed him a glass of water. “How about we all watch a movie later after you get some rest? You can pick what movie we watch, Luca.”
“Pog!!” Luca felt a little dizzy but obviously it was because of his exhaustion.
Much time had passed. The 5 were all cuddled up together in the middle of watching “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” when Luca started experiencing a little dizziness and nausea, along with a bit of abdominal pain. He kept silent about his discomfort like always, to avoid disrupting the fun time the 5 were having and to avoid worrying them. To him, it was probably from the fatigue anyway.
More time had passed, the movie had just ended. Vox and Mysta started screaming at how it ended, while Shu was comforting a sobbing Ike. On the other hand, Luca was feeling worse than ever. That was when all hell broke loose. Luca realized that his mouth started tasting like iron, he felt the sudden urge to cough and covered his mouth where he started violently coughing. This got the others attention.
“Woah- Luca- did you choke on something?” Shu asked, gently patting his back.
The mafia boss, uncovered his mouth and found blood spattered all over his hand and dripping from his mouth. He froze.
“Holy shit-” Mysta quickly got up and raced to the phone to call and ambulance.
“No, Mysta! I can teleport us there.” Shu did just as he said and the 5 found themselves at the hospital entrance.
Vox picked Luca up and dashed into the hospital. The nurse brought a gurney where Vox placed Luca on. Whatever happened next was history.
Luca woke up in a hospital bed to the sound of beeping. He looked to the side and saw his lovers.
“You’re finally awake you bastard.” Mysta said, his voice slightly shaky.
“You scared us half to death- you know.” Ike said, wiping away the tears in his eyes.
“Thank god you’re alright-” Vox sighed in relief.
“How are you feeling?” Shu asked, putting his hand on Luca’s.
“Woah woah- what happened? So much was happening- I…” Luca was very dazed.
“You coughed up blood. We took you to the hospital and the doctors said you were poisoned.” Vox said.
“Huh- so that was what that glass of water was for-”
“Luca- you felt off before the… blood… right?” Ike asked.
“Sure- just some nausea and dizziness… it’s from the fatigue!” Luca looked at his lovers, “Right…?” Ike sighed.
“Luca- the thing is… we’ve been meaning to tell you something…” Shu looked at Vox.
“We’re concerned, Darling.”
“Yeah! You’ve been coming home with untreated injuries and completely ignoring them! You know you can always come to us for help you know?” Mysta said. Shu nodded.
“You’re well-being is the most important thing to us. This time was a really close call.” Ike added.
“I- I’m sorry guys… I just- I just don’t want to burden any of you, you know? The field I work in is a dangerous place, I just thought that none of my injuries were worth stressing over so I hid them..”
“Oh, Luca, you do know we love you right? Nothing you ever do will ever burden us. We can’t ever imagine a world without you, so please, don’t keep things like this to yourself ever again, alright?”
Luca nodded. Feeling horrible for worrying the others so much. They all hugged him. When discharged from the hospital, Luca was pampered by his lovers from the beginning to the very end of his recovery. Luca Kaneshiro learned to be more honest about his injuries and discomforts from now on!
