Collateral Bride - Drabble 1 This can't be happening...This can't be happening...This can't be happening...This can't be happening...This can't be happening…This can't be happening…This can't be happening…

“THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M COLLATERAL FOR THIS LOAN” asked Reki as he stared at the figure in front of him with his hands in the air. It may have been an understatement to say he was confused, but this situation cannot get any more strange.

Last he remembered he was on his way home from a birthday party his classmates invited him to, ready to fall into his bed in his tiny apartment in Tokyo for a good night’s rest. He had so much fun today and he knows he will be well rested for tomorrow. Never in his wildest imagination would he be found sitting in a shady looking office talking to…people Who are they even…

“Exactly as the document states,” a monotonous voice replied, belonging to a lithe figure from behind the desk. They looked so unfazed and placid, almost as if they had seen this exact situation one too many times.

Reki was having the hardest time concentrating and trying to grasp his current predicament. This monotonous figure was so graceful with their every movement; not to mention inhumanly gorgeous despite being so bland; he was becoming more confused. He watched them reaching down to grab some sheets of paper and handing it to another member in the office, silently gesturing to have it passed over to the him.

Reki took the papers to look them over. At the end of the document was indeed his name and signature, but he never remembered signing anything The last thing he remembered signing recently was… “You can’t be real, that birthday card“ Reki asked rhetorically as he recalled signing a card for that classmate. How on earth did it become agreeing to be put up as collateral for a loan Out of panic, he looked over how much was owed and was even more confused. What kind of currency is the loan in There are so many zeros, he lost count after twelve before looking up from the documents and staring back at the occupant behind the desk. “Oh my…god…,” as he stared into those vibrant green eyes and handsome complexion…

“Looks like you need to learn to make better friends…,” as the monotonous voice spoke to break the silence after Reki’s realization. “Let’s not waste any more of our precious time, we would need to discuss…”

“Wait a minute” gasped Reki as he clutched onto the sheets of paper close to his chest as he remembered his greatest fear and fainted in front of a room filled with non-human beings.

“Let him rest in one of the spare rooms, we’ll deal with him again when he wakes up,” sounding as unfazed and placid as ever while he gave the redhead a look over before an amused grin came across his face.

“Interesting…”
