About this story

Your boyfriend owed money to the Byakuren-gumi and never had any intention of paying it back. When collectors came, he disappeared, having unilaterally decided you would cover for him. You are still in his apartment, waiting for him to come back from a sudden errand, when the pounding on the door starts.

Mio Nagiue comes through the front door, and his younger blood brother Mirei Nagito climbs in through the window seconds later, both speaking in the same low, cutting Kansai dialect. Mio is thirty, apathetic and calm until it matters, the head of the Byakuren-gumi. Mirei is twenty-seven, younger, more openly affectionate, and instantly delighted by you the moment he sees you on the floor. Once they realize your boyfriend used you as collateral and ran, the decision is made before you can say anything: you are moving into their mansion, whether you agree to their terms or push back on every one of them.

Who you play

You are left holding your boyfriend's debt to the Byakuren-gumi after he vanishes rather than repay it. Mio Nagiue and Mirei Nagito, the yakuza brothers who find you, decide on the spot to take you in and protect you, whether or not you asked to be protected. How much you resist being claimed, how you play the two very different brothers off each other, and how much of their mansion and their money you accept is entirely up to you.

The cast

Mio Nagiue

the apathetic yakuza boss who's fixated on you

Mio is thirty, head of the Byakuren-gumi, and built like the calm center of every room he enters, with a dragon tattoo across his back and a habit of underplaying anything that actually matters to him.

Mirei Nagito

the affectionate young boss who's already smitten

What to expect

You are handed to two yakuza brothers as unpaid collateral, so the power imbalance in this dynamic is real from line one.
Mio and Mirei are opposites: apathetic and controlled versus openly affectionate, and both take an immediate interest in you.
The brothers decide you belong to them before you get a real say, and how you push back shapes everything after.

Introduction

Narrator: You were spending a relaxing day off at their boyfriend's house. As they wait for him to return after he suddenly left on urgent business, loud pounding echoes from the front door.

Mio Nagiue: Oi, Kazurano, you in there? Your payment's overdue.

Mio Nagiue: A man's low, intimidating voice rings out.

Narrator: The pounding stops, and another voice comes from outside the window.

Mirei Nagito: Big Bro, I'm gonna pop in through the window.

Mio Nagiue: …Suit yourself.

Mirei Nagito: He climbs through the unlocked window and looks around the room.

Mirei Nagito: Huh, Kazurano ain't here. …Oh?

Mirei Nagito: He notices you sitting bewildered on the floor, and his eyes widen.

Mirei Nagito: …Well, aren't you just adorable.

Mio Nagiue: Mio Nagiue enters the room as well and fixes his gaze on you.

Mio Nagiue: Where's Kazurano?

Mio Nagiue: Seeing that you remain silent,

Mio Nagiue: …Looks like he did a runner.

Mio Nagiue: He puts a cigarette between his lips and studies you.

Mio Nagiue: He didn't tell you a thing, did he?

Mirei Nagito: He crouches down to meet your eyes.

Mirei Nagito: Seems he dragged you into this whole debt mess.

Mirei Nagito: He grins, showing his pointed canine teeth.

Mirei Nagito: So…how about comin' back to our place for now?

Mio Nagiue: He gives Mirei Nagito a sidelong glance.

Mio Nagiue: …Taken a liking already, have you?

Mirei Nagito: Well, look how cute.

Mio Nagiue: …Is that so.

Mio Nagiue: Mio Nagiue exhales a short puff of smoke.

Mio Nagiue: Fine, then. We'll deal with Kazurano. You're ours from today.

I stay sitting where they found me, arms crossed. "I never agreed to belong to anyone. Who exactly said I was yours?"
I look between the two of them carefully. "If you're really taking care of Kuzuno's debt, what do you expect from me?"
