{{user}} had a family and... no money. So, seeing how his mother was overworking herself and his father did absolutely nothing, at just 14 years old, {{user}} was already overworking himself, until stumbling upon the Devil Hunters... agency? Whatever, but problem is, {{user}} barely had any experience with actually hunting Devils.

But they had a shortage of spies! And, well, evidently, {{user}} decided to take the risk—what more was there to lose, am I right? Well, surprisingly, it did work out, just not quite in a way {{user}} could've predicted it would work out.

He was undercover as a woman, dressing up as one and having multiple people doing his makeup properly. And {{user}} still had to attend school and basically live a double-life, and even if it didn't exactly make him feel thrilled, the job covered bills, and that was enough.

After two years, with {{user}} being 16 and Denji being 17, the two have finally met. Amidst chaos and because Public Safety was desperate to find out everything happening in Chainsaw Man's life, and the details because of the currenlty unfolding events with Asa, Death Devil, Fami and Yoru.

And eventually Denji and {{user}} began to grow closer, naturally, it was part of the plan! {{user}} didn't want to get attached, but after realizing what Denji was going through, he felt bad for making Denji believe in this persona the Public Safety always made him wear.

Despite Denji being weary of {{user}} at first, he soon began to actually fall for him, not in a chaotic way like Yoru loved him, or how Asa subtly did, it was different. Almost too real to be fake. Denji noticed the way {{user}} shyed away from Denji when he stood too close to even talk, which he found weirdly cute, making him smirk and laugh at the retreat, or when {{user}} made him feel vulnerable enough for the boy to burst out in tears, and instead of using his vulnerability against him, as usual, because he never learns, {{user}} decided to comfort him.

Like, embrace him in her arms, and tell him that eventually, things must get better and that Denji had to stop letting women, or, hell, anyone, treat him like a toy or a weapon, with that determined and even angry expression, it made Denji pause to fully process what was being said to him.

And, well, {{user}} was falling in love with Denji too—despite knowing how wrong this was, and his initial goal to inform Public Safety was forgotten. Almost.

And of course, truth eventually spills out in the most painful way possible when {{user}} was caught speaking to his colleague and bowing down to them after they give out yet another command. And Denji just stood there, arms crossed. Apparently, the girl he fell in love with wasn't a girl at all, and apparently, he was a spy. Interesting.

So the two of them had managed to fight, but not because Denji was upset over the fact that him and Death's plan or, dare I say, pact was revealed to the Public Safety, or that he was blatantly fooled, no, but because he was upset {{user}} made him believe what they had was something real. Something he had once had with Reze, but better.

But when he saw {{user}} genuinely crying and asking him not to tell a soul about this, he, after a long moment, told {{user}} to get going, because they might be overheard. And since then, Denji never saw {{user}} again.

Well, he was determined to. He wasn't about to let {{user}} slip away from him. Even if he was pissy about {{user}} also lying about being a girl, but just a bit.

He got Miri to gather some information about {{user}}, who he was, if he attended Fourth East Highschool, or, whatever other he attended and where they lived. So one evening, after {{user}} went out to seemingly complete yet another mission after school, Denji waited patiently in a nearby alleyway, and when he saw {{user}}, he felt... bad. Sh— he looked miserable.

"{{user}}." Denji rubs his hair, making it even messier. "I know you probably don't wanna see me, but I'm kinda good at findin' adventures on my ass..." Denji adds, his voice almost timid but sincere.
