Chapter Text
It had been a month since you met that kind stranger at the club and a month since you had any kind of fucking peace. Both jobs have been fucking driving you crazy. You had don’t everything asked if you but you still gotten yelled at but today had been the straw that hit the camels back.
You had been in a meeting with all the other capos and sun and moon were leading it. It was all about the upcoming projects and you were paying key attention. They then brought up the fact how protection fees will be going up in certain areas and one of those areas were your own. You knew that the business in your area couldn’t handle it, so you spoke up which lead to a hostile argument between you and Moon. It finally ended with a gun put to the back of your skull by sun. You quickly sat down sending a glare at the two of them and moon couldn’t help but to smirk as sun skipped back over next to him. To make things even worse after wards moon wanted to speak to you where sun pushed your head shading the desk of their office as moon gave you a fresh cut going straight up your face. He described it as a reminder to not challenge them again that you will see each time you look into the mirror. You were so fucking done with all this bullshit, you didn’t have to take this, but sadly you did. This is why you made your way back to the club from a month ago. The club where you met someone who helped you escape your fucked up mind.
You went to the seat you sat at before as you waved over the bartender. They rose a brow at the bandage but you shrugged it off not wanting to answer his question. They gave you a drink with a shot and you smiled thanking them. You took the shot and then slowly sipped on your drink. Unlike your previous time, you weren’t dressed up, you were still in the same outfit that had droplets of blood on it from moons little lesson. You were pissed and tired, just ready to get shit faced. Taking an other sip of your drink you sighed resting your head down on your arm. After a while you felt a hand play with your hair and you slowly sat up and looked over to the source to find the stranger from before.
“Oh hi there stranger,”
“Heh hi star, come to drink your cares away again?”
You could only nod as you go back to starring at your glass. The hand slowly moved to the back of your neck running circles around your spine cause if you to shiver.
“So what happened to your face?”
Now this got a sad chuckle out of you.
“Got to honest with the wrong people, it’s fine though, guess I was asking fo-“
Before you could finish you felt a hand grab your chin and pull your face to look over. The strangers face was filled with anger and worry as his hand moved up to your cheek then up to your nose and up to your forehead, all that was a curved bandage.
“Number one you didn’t ask for it and number two, who?”
You felt the seriousness in his voice as shock made its way into your mind. You couldn’t help but to laugh as you moved your head away to take an other sip of your drink.
“People who you don’t want to mess with, you might want to stay away from me to be honest, you don’t even know me, ”
The chugged your drink with that statement and placed the glass back on the counter, squeezing the glass so tight your knuckles turned white. You felt a hand play with your hair again but you made no motion.
“How about we talk up stairs and relax,hm?”
You looked up at him ready to reject him for his own sake but the look on his face made you realize he wasn’t asking he was telling. You sighed as you stood up and let him lead you back to the same booth as before. You were too sober for any of this at the moment and honestly just wanted to drink till your head exploded. You slid into the spot next to the stranger and a waitress brought over some drinks before scurrying away.
“ so you think I should be scared of you my little star?”
You looked up at him as you sipped your drink. You thought for a second before sighing and leaning back.
“I don’t know to be honest, we don’t even know each other yet we talk to each other so easily, maybe I’m the one who’s scared heh”
“Hmm I see so you want to know each other more?”
A chuckle escaped your lips as you leaded your head on his shoulder feeling to emotionally and physically exhausted to stay sitting up.
“Sure, I’m y/n by the way,”
“Heh name Eclipse, nice to meet you y/n,”
He then kissed the top your head as he wrapped an arm around you pulling you slightly closer. You smiled at him tiredly as you finished your drink, setting it down on the table. The two of your then kinda enjoyed the silence as the club music was muffled in the background. It was nice, relaxing, you felt your worries slowly melt away. You didn’t know what this man did to you but you weren’t complaining, he is honestly the only decent company you have had in years. You felt as his hand went back to your bandage moving his finger up and down it as you looked up at him.
“Even if you won’t tell me who, can I look? You give me the vibe that you decided to take care of it your self,”
This statement caused you to chuckle and nod confirming his statement and giving him permission to peel off the bandage. He nodded as he started at the top and started peeling down. It was highly unpleasant as it pulled your skin and new wound but you allowed it. Why were you allowing it? This was a stranger, someone who you have only known his name for less than an hour. Why did you trust him? Why did he make you feel safe and happy without expecting anything in return. This all made no sense to you but you knew in this one moment you didn’t care, you couldn’t care, not if you wanted this to last.
The feeling of the bandage coming off fully snapped you out of your thoughts as you looked up at Eclipse with a raised brow. You felt him drag a finger down the stitched up wound as if he was deep in thought.
“I guess you did a decent job,”
You watched as his eyes didn’t leave you as his hand moved all over your face till it rested on your cheek. You leaned into his hand but what you didn’t notice was the dark look on his face, a knowing look, like he knows exactly who did it, well remove the like - he did know who did it.
Like it was fate you heard yelling from the entrance to the top floor as a familiar voice was yelling at the bouncer.
“I don’t care if the boss said he was alone time, I need to speak to him you fucking Sasquatch so let me through before I force you to,”
Your entire body tensed up and froze as you recognized the voice as Moon. Eclipse felt your arm tensed up in his arm and how your jaw clenched down. You obviously wasn’t impressed with being interrupted but he couldn’t tell if you were scared or pissed, and he loved it. Once Eclipse saw Moon push past the bouncer, he lifted you up and placed you in his lap so you were facing him. You were about to question him but he just put a finger on his lips and gave you a devious smirk. His hands went down to hugging you like an over sized teddy bear, making you feel safe odly enough. He felt as you slightly relaxed as he put a hand behind your head to guide it onto his shoulder. You happily started to nuzzle his neck as Moon sat on the booth across from Eclipse.
“Urg boss I got business to talk to ya about can ya tell the whore to get lost for a few minutes,”
Your felt as Eclipse tightened his grip on you in a protective matter as he glared down at moon. Hear the title boss though made you sober up real quick, boss as in the big boss, the boss you had been trying for years to reach so you could go back to having a normal life and no longer have to keep up your cover.
You were forced to listen as they discussed different topics and when Moon was packing up with documents that he brought Eclipses cleared his through to catch Moons attention.
“Also I have one quick question for you, so you remember when we discussed marking people, how you needed to stop slashing a curve across their face as a reminder to behave or however you like to phrase it,”
Moons blood went cold in that moment as he rubbed his neck.
“Yes I do remember boss, why do you ask?”
Eclipse snapped and motioned for a waitress to bring something over and what she set down on the table shocked moon.
Before hand when Eclipse removed the bandage he took a picture of it without you noticing and sent it over to a printer that was near by. He was planning on bringing it up next time he was in a meeting with the two of his brothers but this was kinda poetic. He got to give you the justice you deserve with you present oh and how he lived to issue karma to others.
“Well boss I can explain,”
“Oh I don’t need an explanation not from you, not when I’ll hear about it all later, no right now I’m teaching you a lesson, so this capo in the photo heh their my new advisor, my new assistant if you will,”
Oh the way you jump in his arm about to look at him but he just put his hand on the back of your head, starting to play with your hair.
“Boss I’m not sure that’s a good id-“
“Oh so the person who broke an order from me gets to tell me what’s a good idea heh no, you don’t get to do that dear brother, now unless you want me to truly let all my anger out on you I recommend you leave me, this is my night and I’m not letting you ruin anymore of it,”
Moon grumbled as he stomped away like a toddler causing Eclipse to chuckle to himself. You on the other hand were kind frozen in place. What the fuck just happened? This dude was your escape for two nights and it turns out he was the boss you have been trying to get to the whole time and you somehow seduced him into becoming his advisor, secretary, what ever the fuck he called it. Your mind was racing trying to think through everything when little speckles of kissed across your face brought you as you were face to face with eclipse. You gave him one of the most baffled looks of all time not knowing how to feel as a hand reached up to your cheek.
“How…”
Your voice was barely a whisper as he smiled softly at you.
“Oh my little star I remember everything, I’ve seen you at those monthly meetings though you all never see me,”
You face dropped slightly at this. So were you just a game to him this entire time. Did he just want to see one of his members get flustered and weak. You didn’t understand this at all.
“Though that wasn’t why I approached -sorta I guess- the other night , no, you were here the same reason I was and I admired that so don’t think that this was all on big game because-“ he gently made you look up at him as he gave you a kiss on your nose “I am being truly genuine,”
In that moment you forgot everything, your job, your cover, the sadistic son of a birch (moon), all you could focus on was Eclipse in that moment. Everything melted away, you hadn’t felt a connection like this in years as you found your self glancing down at his lips then back up to his eyes with the longing look that the two of you shared the last time you two parted ways. Eclipse smiled as he rested his hand on the small of your back and the other on the back of your neck. The two of you slowly moved forward towards each other till your lips met and fireworks went off. It was so gentle and warm. You reached up to put your hands on his cheeks to deepen it but you miscalculated and ended up accidentally stabbing your hand a bit with his ray.
“Ow fuck,” your backed up checking your hand that was fine, it was mostly just the shock of something pointy. Eclipse couldn’t help but to laugh as you as he held you closer and you started to laugh along side him hugging him back. You couldn’t turn him in, he makes you so happy which such the short amount of time you knew him, there’s no way he’s the evil master mind behind a whole organization. You rested your chin on his shoulder again and you found your self whispering- more to your self than him.
“Are you sure about this decision?” Are you sure that you can turn him in, are you sure you can keep up your act, are you sure you could handle the heart break that will happen no matter what.
Eclipse just smiled as he ran his fingers through your hair.
“More sure of anything I’ve done in a while,”
