(n) a reason for doing something, especially one that is hidden or not obvious

◇─◇──◇───◇──◇─◇

'Romeo Kazuma, 30 years old. Had been married once with no kids, currently divorced and is now running this club. He is known to be a well businessman, but under that facade, he is the top seller for illegal subsentences,' Y/n thought before he smirked and leaned on the balcony railings. 'Just the man I was looking for~'

"So, what brings you out here, Mister Kazuma? I would think that someone like you would be in his office," Y/n teased slightly while playing with a strand of hair. "To think that someone of higher status would be here playing with me."

Romeo seemed to chuckle as he turned his full attention to the attractive man before him. "Well then..." He seemed to trail off, looking up and down at Y/n's body before smiling sweetly. "I was actually out here looking for someone.... However, that can wait since I've found someone... more interesting to amuse me~"

Romeo and Y/n stepped closer to each other as Romeo wrapped his arm around Y/n's waist. His hand lingered lower as it patted Y/n's ass. Y/n didn't care and played along, pretending that he like it as he didn't make any moves to get away.

"Is that so, Mister Kazuma?" Y/n cooed. "Tell me, who is this person that you found 'interesting'?"

Romeo smirked as he began to guide Y/n towards an elevator to the third floor. "How about I show you, my dear?"

Y/n played with a deep chuckle. "Oh, how I would love you to~"

───◇──◇─◇

Romeo guided Y/n all the way to his office on the third floor. The flat was silent, no one was there except them. There were no other rooms besides one large room that held Romeo's office. The large windows were covered by thin sheets of cloth, blocking out the moonlight while still illuminating the room that is filled with paperwork, accessories, and more.

Y/n looked around the office in slight amazement on how big it was. He swears that it could be fit for royalty, but then again, Romeo does make a lot of money because of the club on the first level.

"So, this 'person' that you're amused in..." Y/n said as he brushed his fingers on the desk towards the middle of the room. "...mind telling me more about them?"

Romeo smiles as he stopped just a little bit away from Y/n, watching him with golden eyes. "The person? Well... I would say that they are very well dressed, something that compliments them perfectly. Their hair is styled just right, letting it show their eyes and how beautiful they look, almost like glass or gems. Their touch is filled with wanting and lust, it's addicting... And...

"...their name is Y/n L/n."

Ba-dump...

Y/n's eyes widened in shock. His sweet smile dropped immediately as his hand paused brushing the office table. He looked up and turned to face Romeo who was looking at him with a smile that was lustful and curled up to his eyes making them look like crescents. A small shiver went down Y/n's spine.

"How..." Y/n muttered in an alarmed tone. "How did you...? I didn't even say my name!"

Romeo smiled, since it was cold puff of air could be seen coming out of his mouth. A blush was covering his cheeks as his fingers barely covered his smile that he was trying to hide. His brows were furrowed upwards in a pleased look as he watched every move Y/n made and took note on every feeling that Y/n showed.

"It was simple really," Romeo stated. "A simple touch of your ass was enough for me to know that it was you, sweet Y/n. You almost had me fooled, I will not lie, but something such as just touching your body is something I will never forget~

"I was someone you captured, long time ago. Even after all these years I still remember how you feel and tasted on that faithful night. Ah~ I couldn't stop thinking about you and how good you felt that night. I had to make it my goal to find you again, no matter what!"

Y/n's breathing slightly hitched as he backup, genuinely scared at Romeo's words. Romeo strayed closer to Y/n with a blushing smile of obedience and lust in his eyes. Y/n gulped down his nerves, trying to figure out a way to get Romeo away from him as quickly as possible. Maybe he can use his ability to-

"Oh, please don't think like that, dear," Romeo said, as if reading Y/n's mind. "There's no use on using your ability in this palace." He smirked as he snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, the cloth over the windows were removed, letting the bright shining of the full moon enter the room. Y/n slightly hissed at the brightness since he was getting his ability ready. His eyes widened when he noticed that the moon was shining right into the large windows. He couldn't use his ability unless he wanted to get burned to death.

Romeo smiled lustfully at Y/n's situation as he stepped closer to him. "I've asked many of the people and men that you have captures throughout the years, old and new. I've gathered a lot of valuable information from them about you. I have to say, you are a man with many talents, Y/n, but that doesn't mean I will not back down and use the information against you."

Romeo slammed his hands on either side of Y/n's body, trapping him, as he tilted his head and leaned in closer to Y/n. "I was jealous of the people who you used the same method on to get to me, I hated it. But I made a deal with all those people." He caressed Y/n's jaw. "I will trap you, capture you, and make you mine. On behalf of all the people who you wronged, I will take you and make you my slave, that's a promise~"

Y/n suddenly ditched the scared look as he narrowed his eyes at Romeo. He swiftly punched the criminal across the face, making Romeo stumble away from Y/n, holding his cheek in pain. Romeo blinked for a moment before spitting out blood and looking at Y/n. Y/n only gave a careless small shrug to Romeo.

Romeo huffed as he puffed out his chest and extended his arm. "I will not go down that easily, Y/n," he claimed boldly.

Y/n narrowed his eyes. "And I don't need an ability to get rid of you," he said as he held his boa in one hand.

Romeo smirked. "I would like to see you try. Slash of the Thorned!"

A ribbon of gold lingered down from Romeo's shoulder to his arm then into his hand. Soon the golden ribbon materialized and created a whip that Romeo clutched onto. The whip seemed to burn into Romeo's hand as he held onto it tighter, a side effect of his ability.

Y/n smiled. "Hmm, how entertaining~"

Romeo's smirk wore off as he reeled his arm back. The whip grabbed some books lingering around the office as he threw it at Y/n. Y/n's smile dropped as he quickly ducked to dodge them in the nick of time. The books clashed with other books making a commotion.

Y/n quickly ran as he saw Romeo aiming his whip at him. Y/n ran around the room before grabbing a large vase and throwing it as hard as he could. The vase hit Romeo on the side, making him hiss. Romeo quickly looked to where Y/n was, only to see him running at him at full speed.

Romeo tched as he used his whip and aimed it at Y/n. Y/n was quick to dodge by jumping to the side. The whip grabbed more books as Romeo continued to throw books and other objects at Y/n, wanting to immobilize him.

The way Y/n moved and dodged, made Romeo imagine that he was watching a dancer preform. Y/n moved with such elegance and perfection it almost made Romeo sick to the core. He couldn't help but smile as he blushed insanely, wanting nothing more than to have Y/n in his arms once again.

Y/n panted as the fight kept being prolonged to his benefit, however, he was getting tired. 'If I can just fight until the moon passes, I will be able to use my ability in the dark to arrest and immobilize him. But how long can this keep up?

'Romeo isn't getting tired anytime soon since he's not technically moving, and the party guests will realize how long the other guy and I have been gone and will get suspicious. I'm just hoping that Dazai can keep them busy in the meantime...'

Suddenly, as Y/n was dodging flying books coming after him, a vase hit Y/n right upside the head. His eyes turned white for a second out of shock as he stumbled. He leaned onto the office desk as he held onto his head out of pain.

Romeo saw his chances and smirked. He used his whip and wrapped it around Y/n's ankle and pulled. Y/n let out a yelp as he fell slightly, using the table for support as he tries to stay standing, but the world around him was spinning and his head was pounding in pain. He can feel the blood dripping down from his head to his chin.

'Was the vase made out of stone!?' Y/n thought for a moment.

The grip on Y/n's ankle disappeared but then he was tied up, making him immobile. Y/n groaned as he tried to get out of the whip that was wrapping around him and getting tighter with every moment. If only the moon hadn't been out, he would be out of this predicament in seconds.

Romeo smiled as he walked up to Y/n. Y/n only glared up at Romeo, however it stopped what Romeo wrapped his fingers around his neck and started to lift him. Although Romeo was a bit taller than Y/n, the whip around Y/n made him feel weak, a pro to Romeo's ability. Y/n choked on the little amount of air he had as drool rolled down his mouth with blood from his head.

Romeo tilted his head as he smiled. "Now this... is a view that I like to see," he said as he looked at Y/n up and down. "Such a beautiful view that I missed dearly."

Y/n pants as he tried to get as much air as he could in his lungs. "You... fucking pervert..." He choked up.

Romeo chuckled as he looked down and put his leg in between Y/n's, roughly grinding himself on Y/n. "Say what you want, but you spent the night with me and know that whatever you say will not matter. So, let this night last, and last long between the two of us."

Y/n flinched as he felt Romeo grind his clothed cock. He narrowed his eyes and was just about to raise his leg to kick Romeo off of him, however, someone beat him to it. With a loud crash, a chair hit Romeo up the head, making him knock out completely and the chair completely shattering on impact.

Y/n fell to the ground and he coughed, the whip around him disappeared as its owner was knocked out cold. His eyes slightly widened as he watched the whip burn away from the tip to the hand of its owner. His eyes then strayed up to see who had saved him.

"Y/n!"

"Dazai?"
