Got the idea from a random quote somewhere.

Thank you for the 115k reads!

I wouldn't call the ending an angst, lmao but it isn't happy either.

For Santa_the_Hitman as 'soryu x reader'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Killing is your job. You live for blood shed.

All you had to do was flip yourself up onto a balcony and wave a knife, then a life would be taken easily by your very hands. You would then enjoy a small glass of champaign while you stand in front of the body.

Known as [Assassin Name], you went by disguise, no one knows your true identity. No one suspects a shy hotel maid to be a world-class assassin.

Several months ago, you received a request. It was your largest order yet, and just for one target.

Soryu Oh. 

You grin to yourself in satisfaction. It wasn't easy, but gradually, you're beginning to gain the cool mobster's trust. He interested you, so you're not going to kill him off like any other victim you've had. 

You're going to make him hand his own heart right to you.

"Sorry I'm late!" You exclaim as you run to your meeting spot with Soryu, you then sheepishly tugged onto your purse strap, "I-I was a little self-conscious...."

Truth is, you took a while to make sure your plan will go unscathed.

You can see the visible tint on his usual cold cheeks as he smiles softly, "You always look cute."

Sometimes you kind of feel bad that he's opening up to you, but you're just using him.

You nervously intertwine your hand into his as you begin walking. He looked over at you in shock, but you had your head averted. He relaxes and squeezes your hand as he thought you're too shy to look him in the eye at something affectionate.

Well, you just can't fake a blush sometimes. Why not hide your smirking face with your long hair?

The two of you went to watch a random movie that just came out, the theatre was packed. You realize it was a horror movie when it began. It was rated R as there are extreme gores.

You sigh internally because you won't be able to enjoy the movie as you have to act like a scared girl who's never seen any bloodshed in her life the entire time.

You did your best flinching and screaming and shaking, earning concerned comforts from the mobster.

"Sorry for picking the movie without looking at the description...." He says while scratching the back of his head after you walked out of the theatre. 

"It's alright...I think I'll be fine...." You say while tightening your hold on his hand, as if doing it unconsciously. Hopefully he'll take the hint that you're trying to be tough. 

"[First Name]...." The way he says your name is so full of truth, you're sure you just got another step closer to completely breaking his walls.

Sure enough, you spent the night at his apartment.

A few days later, you visited his head office and met a lot of the Ice Dragons members, who all treated you like their future Queen. Especially Ryosuke, he looked like he was ready to worship the air you breathed.

To them, you're the innocent commoner who somehow crossed paths with Soryu.

To you, they're the fools you're toying and playing around with.

Another two weeks passed, just as your relationship with Soryu reached its highest point.

He had said he wanted to take you to a special place two days ago, so you arranged another date this evening.

"Tonight, is the night." You say to yourself in the mirror with a victorious smirk as you apply red lipstick. Then, you pull up a thigh band to where your dress would hide it, and attached a knife through it. 

When you arrive at the front of the park, he's already standing there, his expression somehow a bit different than usual.

"Soryu!" You called out cheerfully. He looked at you, then a slightly stressed smile tugged at his lips.

"Is something wrong?" You ask as you rest a hand on his arm, "You look a bit strained."

He simply shook his head and caressed your cheek with that same smile, "Probably just from work. You look fantastic, as always, [First Name]."

You bashfully blushed, "Thank you, you do, too."

Today is the day he'll finally kiss me. You thought sinisterly but you take his hand blissfully.

You had fun until it was 9:30pm, the lights in the park lit up one by one, illuminating the dark area. Though during the time, it seemed like there was always something on his mind that he's stuck in a dilemma with.

Soryu brought you to a spot that has the perfect view of the park's pond, which has pretty blue lights set up above it and on the bridge.

"So pretty~" You hold both your hands in front of your chest as you gaze at the flashing lights.

You then notice that Soryu's frowning, a look of determination crossing his eyes. You peer at him, "Soryu, are you really alright? Are you sure you're not pushing yourself too hard with work?"

He turns to you and takes your hand, pressing a small kiss on it, then looks up into your eyes, "I know your identity, [Assassin Name]. I found out this morning."

That alarmed you greatly, no wonder he was acting weird all evening. Why didn't he just get rid of you as soon as possible, though? Did he want to torture you?

Your eyes darkened and you're about to grab your knife when he continued.

"I don't mind." He says with a small, sad smile, "Even though you're probably targeting me, you won me over faire and square, whether or not it was all an act."

"You...what're you getting at?" Your natural voice and expression shows as there is obviously no point in pretending anymore.

He chuckled, "I just wish I could've gotten to know the actual you better. I admit, you win."

You look at him with bewildered eyes. 

Just then, Soryu pulled you into a tight embrace, "You got me head over heels for you, but you played me like a fool.... Honestly, I kind of had the feeling that you were using me since the day we first met, but I didn't know you're trying to kill me."

He laughed at himself before pulling back and looking you in the eyes, "Thank you, for the good times you brought me. Even though they were fake to you, they felt real to me, and those were the best times of my life. I'm not done falling for you yet, but this is probably the end."

His hand softly combs through your hair as he gazes at you lovingly, "Let me pretend this is real until the very end, I'd gladly exchange it for my life."

At that, he leans in to you and puts his hand behind your head. You slowly close your eyes, your hand reaching for the knife in the thigh band.

As his lips finally crashes against yours, you smile into the kiss and slide the blade into his back.

I actually really like this XD 

"Let me pretend this is real until the very end, I'd gladly exchange it for my life."
