Linky's Fics

Hearts That Carry Endless Love

---

It all began with just Shichiro. Nishiwaki fell in love again and again with his best friend across multiple points over the years they knew each other. The more missions they accomplished together, the more those feelings only deepened. Becoming stronger than where they were last before. He knew he would take a bullet, or several for him. As well as do so much more for Shichiro's sake.

Then Michiko entered the picture. Stealing Shichiro's heart as if it was the most effortless act in the world—but also Nishiwaki's own in the process.

Her kindness and the sheer strength of her will were captivating beyond words. No language could ever begin to do it justice. She was someone who strongly believed in love, to keep it close within one's heart. It really was no wonder how Shichiro got swept off his feet not long after they crossed paths.

Nishiwaki could never be able to hold it against him. And why would he? That very same part about Michiko was also what sparked his own love.

Before she entered the picture, Nishiwaki didn't know a heart could carry so much love deep inside of it. She changed everything for him. Forever would he be extremely grateful that she showed him this beautiful possibility. Just like her now-husband, he would do anything in the world for her. Including protecting her with his life on the line without a singular moment of hesitation.

Nishiwaki knew what he did was beyond bold—trying to find a way to join this relationship. Despite the risks his heart yearned for it more than anything else. He'd long lost count of how many days and nights passed where it was all that was on his mind. He had utterly fallen for both of these people.

In the process of trying to follow his heart, he could have ruined everything he had built with Shichiro. Destroying so many years worth of a close friendship and rich history.

Though luckily for him… Those two also carried that same immense amount of love as well.

Perhaps that is why they were all drawn to each other. Just maybe, it was meant to be. Three individuals who possessed infinite love within their hearts. Ready and willing to share it with each other as life continued to go on day by day in the mansion.

Shiori was only a very young girl at the time. A mask made of iron to be put on her head, taking away her youth, and a yo-yo that was just the same, symbolizing that stolen childhood—these weren't occurrences anyone was going to consider a possibility for Shiori's life.

(In regards to that iron mask, it wouldn't take too long for that to suddenly change.)

Raising her together with Shichiro and Michiko was something Nishiwaki would never take for granted. Not even for a second. He wanted to see her grow up and have a wonderful life. Carrying that deep sense of love as her mother, and the beautiful eyes of her father.

Nishiwaki would make sure of it. Just like her parents, this he staked his life on.

Silently closing the door and watching over her as she drifted off into sleep, Nishiwaki prayed that these days would go on forever. Given the shadows that lurked across Japan… One could never truly be sure how long it would be able to last.

Shichiro was deep in his study with Michiko. Reading up on various artifacts, some of which he hunted for with Nishiwaki back in the past when it was just the two of them. Looking over these books brought up feelings of nostalgia he couldn't help but carry. Each mission was dangerous, their lives at risk during every moment. And yet it brought the two of them together in ways that only near-death experiences could achieve.

This line of work eventually led them to Michiko. So they'd never complain or take back the countless scars that laid across their skin. The two knew they had to take Michiko along with them on their next mission together. More hands in their line of work would be very welcome.

As the book was closed Nishiwaki walked in. Who carefully shut the door behind him, making sure not to wake up the sleeping child across the hall. "Shiori is asleep now. I was finally able to get her to settle down." He chuckled. 

Michiko looked over to him with the most stunning smile in the world. Once again, he fell even deeper in love as he felt an arrow go straight through his chest.

"Thank you Nishiwaki." She promptly went over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

Just then something inside Nishiwaki surged. As his heart began to swell, he couldn't help the urge to give her a kiss of his own. As he put his hands on her cheeks, ones that were rough from countless deadly missions—they were so soft in contrast. Michiko happily returned it. Melting into his touch, one that was reverent. She savored the warmth radiating from his skin.

Glancing over with a grin, Shichiro knew he had to join them. Even after a long and arduous day of work.

After some loaded workdays, he'd be content to watch his two partners have some smooches to themselves. Tonight was not one of those nights however. He had more than enough energy to join in on the fun. On occasion the kissing of the three would lead into something so much more. If that were to happen tonight was yet to be seen.

Shichiro kissed Nishiwaki's forehead, then Michiko's. His own smile emitting a radiance that was unlike anything else on earth. And the happiness that one could see from his eyes… It was even more breathtaking.

There was an overwhelming feeling of the purest of love throughout every millimeter of the study. Each of them took it all in, basking in it. Savoring it all as they took turns kissing while embracing each other. Once the three took a moment to get some air, Nishiwaki held the two of them close to his chest.

What they had was truly something very special. This they all knew.
