Over the next couple of days, we exchanged a few texts while avoiding the subject of that night in the van. I had plenty reminders still on me so I hoped it hadn't been too forgettable for him.
Secretly happy that the Okada crush was only a figment of my imagination, I didn't mind much that he preferred staying in Japantown. Goro had shown unequivocal dislike for Night City in general and Kabuki in particular.
I should get a small apartment in the area. He's broke, probably. Worrying about his living arrangements seemed like overstepping. Not like I could afford a place up to his standards with my current budget, I thought letting out a self-deprecating chuckle. Still, I'd feel better knowing he's staying in a safe place.
Kicking my feet up as I indulged in the delusion that we could have a lil' lovers nest, I picked up the phone at the same time a text from him popped up, asking to meet again.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
It was early evening when I arrived at the agreed meeting point, and spotted him chatting up a lady cop. Massaging away the beginning of a frown, I thought: I shouldn't feel any particular way about something this trivial. I'm not the type! He's not the type!
But you thought he wouldn't be the type to fuck you raw in the back of a van either, didn't you?
Ugh, dammit. Forgot to take the suppressants. Dry-swallowing one, I bid JS bye-bye. If you must know, Silverhand, I think what happened between us was unusual for him. The exception that confirms the rule.
Despite my inner monologue, I childishly clung on to his collar, demanding his undivided attention with a few facial gestures. Don't pout.Don'tpout.Don'tpout.
My dear fox caught on immediately and walked away with me. Our conversation was, as expected, focused on his plan to use the upcoming parade to reach Hanako.
"I know how important this is for you. I get it. But have you considered how high the stakes are? Aren't you throwing your life away?"
"What life? This life?". He sounded dejected. Mournful, even.
"Wow... a'right. I guess I should be thankful I'm dying soon then. Liberation from a life so fucking miserable should be a good thing, no?"
"Ahh, V. That's not what I mean. And I'm not being reckless with our lives. What to do to convince you...".
"Sky-diving into Hanako's float is what then? BD thrill material?".
Our argument carried on. In hushed voices and full of uncomfortable gestures. He was unhappy that I showed reticence to play along. He hated the idea of me trying to find a solution to the relic that didn't involved Arasaka.
After a series of clenching fists, face rubbings and exasperated sighs, he took my arm and half-dragged me to a more secluded spot. I was wound so tight I felt I'd snap if he tried to put his foot down.
"We'll run a test. So you see for yourself that the tech I got works. Arguing like this is leads nowhere. Let's stop".
"... the Kabuki shard? That's not even the part that worries me most".
"Do this and we can relax after. Talk more calmly. I promise".
I was feeling a bit shaky and much annoyed at him. He still had his arms crossed and his lips tightly pressed together as I stalked towards my objective.
I can't let his assertiveness cloud my own judgement. His bed manners may be my type but this is biz! And I'm not his pet.
The infiltration was quick and the shard, I had to admit, effective. With the virus in place we took our conversation to a nearby food stall. The suppressants started waning off so Silverhand chose to ruin my appetite. Don't get too attached to that 'Saka Dog.
I know I may have to kill him. I know he may be thinking the same. If you piss me off enough Johnny, I just might let him.
"Is the food not to your taste?" I asked, noticing his expression of disgust.
"Plastic and sawdust", he replied, repulsed. "You don't seem to like it either".
"I just lost my appetite, that's all. You truly hate it here, huh...", my words trailing off with a hint of sadness as the memory of him stating we had no future resurfaced in my brain.
"About your plan... let's assume I pull off my part and buy you time to reach the float and you don't get immediately killed there. What about me?".
"You know if Oda spots me, he'll kill me. I'm nothing but toxic in his eyes. And even if I manage to avoid him, there's a netrunner who could fry me. Oh, and Hanako can still refuse to help"
The silence was deafening. But I saw what I was looking for. Up close, in a well lit area, he couldn't completely hide that a part of him didn't revel in the idea of my death. He wasn't completely indifferent.
"Your eyes are truly honest, Goro. No matter how I spin this, the chances of me being fucked are high. And not in a fun way."
I bowed my head and he shuffled from the barstool.
"I'll do some recon to prepare our next task. Contact you later".
Ha, like hell you're leaving me like this.
"Goro. It's late. You've been thinking about this non-stop for days. What recon are you gonna do in the dark with the limited gear you've access to?"
"I'll help you out with it. Tomorrow. Fresh eyes, n' all"
He clenched his jaw tight. I pressed on.
"Stay with me tonight. Don't you feel even a little guilt using me so shamelessly and making me go hungry?"
With a small smile, he nodded and we drove back to my apartment.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Let's get pizza and some beers. Maybe it won't be as disappointing as the food stall since you have no expectations".
"No wonder your eating habits are so frightful. You don't even have a kitchen", he said scanning my place in one quick sweep.
I rolled my eyes at him and busied myself trying to tidy up, while he was standing by the door like a statue.
"Make yourself at home, will ya? You're off the clock!", I encouraged him passing him a beer.
Slowly, he started showing interest in my things. He rummaged around my stash, admiring the weapons I'd collected. He seems to have perked up, the thought making me smile widely. The man does love a weapon collection.
Now, I had honestly forgotten that that was there. I'd even forgotten I owned it. And I certainly didn't expect him to find it.
"Leather straps? What do you use this for? Is it broken? Should you toss it?, he fired the questions in quick succession without letting me interject.
Burning red like a ripe tomato, I rushed to snatch it from him and stuffed it deep in the wardrobe.
"Wait. Is that... clothing? But... There's barely any "cloth"... just what do you..". His voice lowered into a mumble and his eyes flashed from side to side rapidly, as he was trying to piece it together.
"Put it on", he said after a few half a minute, in that tone he seemed to use with his subordinates.
He stared hard and his presence seemed to grow bigger, towering.
"Are you going to make me repeat myself?", he said cocking his head down on me and slowly enunciating every word.
"I don't want to. I haven't even showered yet! I'm dirty!"
He dug the "outfit" back out from the pile I hid it under, and put it in my hands. Then pointed towards the bathroom and turned to keep rummaging my things. Sighing, I conceded.
As I took a few steps out, feeling extremely exposed, he didn't even try hiding the fact that just looking at me made him adjust his cock, fixing it as if it hurt.
"Need a hand? , I asked, putting as much playful intent in my voice as I could. Then, I noticed he was holding something else he'd found.
"Ah, that!", I stammered, and forgetting my nakedness I hurried over to take my stuff away. But he reacted fast. The feeling of his rough hands against my skin sent an electric jolt down my spine. As he strapped the choker and garters tight, he toyed with the string suit, making me squirm.
"Given your talent and eagerness to please I think it’s about time I put a collar on you. And these too. You'll have to wear these three pieces, always. Do not remove any of them without my express permission. Understood, V?"
"You look amazing. Now let's see about that shower".
