“So you still don’t have any leads?” Tatsuya can’t hide the gleeful smirk on his face. Once again, he’s been spared.

“Don’t worry darling, this yakuza boss of yours will turn up soon.” Little do you know, said yakuza boss is right next to you with a wedding band identical to yours around his finger. Figures Tatsuya would marry a detective— though he thinks it's your intellect that drew him to you.

What can he say? Nothing beats the thrill of a double life.

You don't know what he does for work. How could he ever tell you? Officers don't go for criminals like him. You're too righteous and shit... but he'd wanted you.

You; the only person who ever managed to decipher his codes; the only person to ever trace a crime back to his yakuza. That's when he'd known you were the one for him.

That was four years ago. Playing the long game ended in him marrying the spouse of his dreams. Like hell he'd lose you now.

Besides, lying's easy- honestly, Tatsuya makes a living off of it. Even if his spouse is the best detective in Japan, he’s always one step ahead.

He has to be.
