Chapter Text
Yagi hadn't really meant to take an interest in the random bartender. But from his Intel it was just supposed to be Nemuri and Emi Kayama, and Dabi working there. And yet here was this man who looked like a cross between a hobo and a school teacher.
His Intel hadn't mentioned any men working here besides young Dabi.
What changed?
He watches him greet the Kayamas like a friend before setting to work preparing for the inevitable weekend rush.
The man is attractive in an obscure way. And he's definitely competent. He handles the glasses and food that are ordered.
He watches a little longer before motioning that he wants to make an order and the man approaches and starts to take his order before they are rudely interrupted but some small potato wanting to be a dick.
But the man doesn't take it lying down. Simply sends the man to young Emi and returning his attention to him.
Yagi only meant to observe for an hour. To find out if this place would be worth it to protect. He does have a lot of bars in his territory.
But he stays there till it closes ordering drink after drink from the pretty Raven haired man.
It's so easy to slip out with the crowd and leave a large tip for him.
He continues to his car and then turns into the form he's known as, and heads back in after giving them some time to begin cleaning.
He puts in a call to someone be trusts with the description of the elephant quirked man and is assured he'll be dead within the next three hours.
When they notice him, he's well aware of the tension. He even watched the man move closer to the two Kayamas and the way he grips the glass he's washing, tells him he'll end up with glass in his face if he tries to hurt either of the women.
That's an interesting reaction.
The man turns out to be a friend of the Kayamas names Shouta Aizawa and Yagi wants him.
Wants to see those eyes wet with tears behind a blindfold as Yagi pushes and pulls in and out of him.
He offers a ride like a gentleman but the man turns him down. Claiming he has a bike despite All Smite not seeing anything about a bike outside.
But he lets it go and watches from out of sight. While he waits he receives a simple thumbs up from a number and he smiles.
He sees Aizawa leave, check the door of the library and keep walking and Yagi gets in his car and has his driver drive.
It doesn't take long before he stops the black haired man. He's far too attractive to be walking around like this.
So he interrupts.
Aizawa looks like he's about to bolt from him when his brain makes out the situation he's in but the raven haired man shakes It off before getting in the car.
He keeps his surprise at the man's address well hidden he things and instead asks questions.
He learns a bit about the man and his relationship to the Kayamas but nothing Yagi can use.
Maybe Hizashi can find out more information.
It's worth a shot.
He lets the man part with a warning not to lie again and he can taste the fear rolling of him.
He watches the man walking into the building after escaping the car. He looks so nervous.
Yagi cang wait try a few games.
Yagi waits until Aizawa is a few feet away from the car before pulling out his phone.
YT: what do you know about Shouta Aizawa
NT: Quiet guy. Owns a cat. Always out. Keeps to himself.
NT: Why?
YT: I'll tell you while I give you a ride to work
NT: did you kill someone again?
YT: no…
NT: I'll be down in a minute
Tsukauchi is a childhood friend. He was there for when Yagi had explained the concept of a kingpin throughout the City and others who controlled the area with a strong but easy hand. He understood that All Smite was a necessity in a world with quirks.
That he kept there from being constant battles did territory and that he enforced a certain set of rules on the criminals under his command.
So Tsukauchi became his inside man on the police force. Making sure they couldn't touch him.
And he just so happens to live in the same building as the newest thing to have caught his eye.
When Tsukauchi slides in across from him he quirks an eyebrow at him.
"What's with the interest with my neighbor? He do something to piss you off?"
"No. The opposite."
"I can't really see him joining in on criminal activity. The man works too hard."
"Again. I don't want him to. At least that's not the main thing I want from him."
"Oh...well I can tell you I haven't seen him have a partner. Or even a one night stand so good luck."
"Tsukauchi, tell me more about him."
"I don't know much. He has a cat. He guards his laundry like a dragon would gold. He wears baggy clothes. He's super fit. Um….he keeps off hours. That's all I know really."
"Thanks. Now onto real business. You're going to receive a call to a warehouse in the fish market. A man with an elephant quirk. It's a drunken fall. That's it. Not need to bother the bar he was seen at."
"Goddamn it Yagi."
