I Told You, You Were Mine
~~~
The relationship between these two was what anyone would long for...a happy couple with no problems at all...or so it seemed
Everything was going great, or was it? No!
These two young guys in love, hid a whole different identity from one another
Our MC, Iro, was adopted into a family of terrors. His parents had passed away when he was 5 and he was put up for adoption and was adopted by this family that tortured him
He finally had the chance to escape at the age of 17, where he left and finally lived a normal life, and fell in love, but hid his past from him
Our ML, Haji, a mafia lord since the age of 13...His parents trained him from a young age to takeover incase they ever passed
He was only 17 years old when he had enough, and decided to runaway leaving everything behind, where he disappeared from the world and lived a normal life where he fell in love, also hiding his past
The two of them lived happily with one another, met for 6 years and been together for 4....they believed in forever with one another, having plans to get married
But all that happiness didn't last forever
Haji's enemies finally found him, and in his mind, he needed to protect Iro so he left without a word to get stronger and build his mafia again
He rose to the top and built a company as well to distract himself from the underground, slowly forgetting his reason of going to the top
Iro's adoptive family trapped him again but being able to escape he tried calling Haji for comfort, but no answer
He waited and waited but nothing, so he then decided to join a gang and take over it, never forgetting his pain
Both rose to the top, Haji was number 1 again and Iro rose to be number 2, both with their identity hidden
Haji, with his company also being one of the most powerful, had enemies tailing him so he needed bodyguards, in order to protect his civilian side
Iro going from job to job so he doesn't get bored, got hold of this information and decided to be a bodyguard along with his friend
17+6=23 years of age (amount of time since they met and were together)
23+3=26 years of age (the years apart from one another)
26+2=28 years of age (finally stabilizing everything they worked for)

Mordecai
You are stronger than your parents were
Armani
Sir I have a move on the Black Omen
Armani
Should we move forward
Armani
Or should we stay back
Armani
(Whatever the choice is....I hope you know what you're doing)
Haji
We'll stay back for now
Haji
I need to find bodyguards though
Xander
And whats wrong with us
Haji
What if you get hurt and can't do a mission
Idris
Should we review the ones that did apply?
Haji
No just hold an audition and make them fight Xander and Armani
Haji
I trust you'll choose some good bodyguards
Haji
Make sure they're not weak
Idris
I won't disappoint you
Idris
Would you like me to send you the final list or no?
Haji
Just choose them and I'd better see them in my office the next day
Idris
What if they're hurt and tired
Haji
Then they should've never been a bodyguard ....
Armani
(He's so difficult)
Xander
(How does he reason things)
Idris
(I pray for those souls)
Elias
I heard that H Enterprise is looking for bodyguards
Rain
You're going to apply??
Rain
Who's going to help me with the Cafe 😱
Iro
Elias is here with you *smiles*
Iro
Me and Icarus will go 😜
Icarus
Just when I thought I had a break 😮💨
Iro
How else am I supposed to make him crawl back to me and have him fall for me
(^ー^)
Rain
That's not anything new
Icarus
Aish whatever you say
Iro
He probably just forgot and decided to leave for a while 🙊
Laid Eyes Again
Two young guys were sitting under a tree, having a beautiful picnic
Iro
Do you want to get married
Haji
I haven't even bought the ring
Haji
Or thought of our honeymoon
Iro
*smiles* So...you do want to get married
Haji
*pulls him close* Of course I do
Haji
*lifts his chin* Just say the date and I'll be ready
Iro
*kisses him* You can't back out now
Haji
*hugs him tightly* Of course my love
Haji
Why would I ever want to refund you
Iro
Can you give me your hand?
Haji
Sure *lifts his hand for Iro*
Iro then placed a gold ring on Haji's ring finger
And then showed him his own silver one
Haji
*jumps on him* Gosh how'd I get so lucky with you
Haji
I promise...give me more time and I'll give you the biggest and most beautiful wedding ever
Iro
*trembling and crying* Come on Haji....Why aren't you picking up the phone
Rain
Are you guys really going to take the job
Iro
They're taking interviews tomorrow
Iro
So me and Icarus will head over there and show them we're the best bodyguards to ever exist
Elias
And don't you think they'll run a background check 🤨
Icarus
And don't you know who Iro is 🤨
Elias
Of course...Who am I kidding
Elias
I made sure to give you a whole different identity
Rain
Damn....Now I'm stuck running this Cafe with Elias 😕
Elias
I could literally say the same about you😊💢
Rain
Hahah....I was just kidding (^_^;)
Icarus
Well, if we're going to sign up to be bodyguards I am going to sleep
Icarus
I need the energy you know, I'm not a skillful person without it
Iro
Well we should head to the Cafe
Rain
*checks the time* You're right
Rain
My target should get there soon 😄
Elias
So someone managed to finally rob your heart?
Rain
I think they're older than me though...But that doesn't matter
Iro
Of course that doesn't
Iro
Literally anyone would be glad to be together with you
They all head to the Cafe minus Icarus who stays behind to sleep
Idris
Tomorrow we have our interview to find the best candidates to be your bodyguard
Armani
I still can't believe I'm getting wrapped into this
Xander
I'm sure no one will be able to bring us down let alone hurt us
Xander
Plus your strength can be compared to a man's
Xander
And they'll probably underestimate that
Armani
*rolls her eyes* There better be someone good enough to keep me entertained though
Haji
I'm sure someone will come
Haji
After all, I'm pretty sure my enemies will be sending their strongest men
Idris
Are you sure you don't want to come by to see
Idris
Seeing people get thrown on the ground
Haji
In the meantime I'm going back home
Xander
I'm going to get coffee
Xander
I need something bitter and sweet right now
Xander
Especially if I'm going to go through this tomorrow
Elias
So...When is your target coming
Rain
He should be here anytime soon
Iro
I need to see who's the lucky person
Rain
Oh my gosh he's coming everyone act normal
Someone enters the Cafe and walks up to the register
Xander
Can I get a caramel latte
Xander
*chuckles lightly* (Cute)
Rain
(I made him chuckle....HE IS SO INTO ME)
Rain
Would you like any dessert
Rain
We got cookies, cakes, literally anything you want
Xander
Hmmm I guess I'll take a small cake
After ringing him up and giving him his order, Rain was very satisfied
Iro
What's with that expression
Rain
I put my number in a card in his order 😜
Rain
I'm sure he'll look at it and call me
Elias
What if he doesn't.....
Rain
And if he doesn't then....I'm blaming it on you for jinxing it
The day went by smoothly for everyone
Soon the next day arrived
Iro was getting ready to go over to H Enterprise
He was looking at his reflection in the mirror
Iro
How would you react if you saw me....
Iro
Will you be happy to see me or will you just treat me like a stranger
Iro
The second you promised me to marry, I wasn't going to let you go
Iro
*puts on his necklace that has the engagement ring as the pendent*
Iro looked at himself, satisfied..He sprayed on his cologne and headed to the door
Icarus
You look ready to go on a date
Iro
I'm going to see my husband
(*^ー^)ノ♪
Icarus
(I swear I'm friends with delusionals)
The two of them head to the company and see the big line
Iro
How many people wanna be his bodyguard 😠😠
Iro
They should all just leave
Icarus
We...Should also leave
Iro
We're going to be his bodyguards
Iro
Because only I can be around him 😌
Icarus
Then why are you dragging me in
Iro
Uhhh Cuz you're my right hand
Iro
What if I get attacked
Icarus
(You're literally stronger and better than me 😑)
Icarus
I guess we're staying here waiting our turn
They watched as everyone tried out
Both Xander and Armani were undefeatable
No one could land a scratch on them
It was beautiful the way they moved, and embarrassing for everyone who fell down
Iro
Hmm....It's our turn next and Haji still hasn't shown up
Iro
I wanted to get a glimpse of him at least
Icarus
I'm sure your lover boy will show up
Icarus
We're the last people
Idris
NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU WAS ABLE TO LAND A SCRATCH ON THEM
Idris
You two *points at Icarus and Iro* You better be good
Iro
We cant disappoint you
Iro was made to go against Xander while Icarus was made to against Armani
Icarus
*standing still analyzing Armani*
Armani
(Tch...Another one that doesn't want to make the first hit)
Armani
*goes near to land a hit*
Icarus
*easily dodges it* Come on~
Icarus
You can clearly do better than that
And with that both Armani and Icarus started their rivalry
Xander
You can land the first hit
Xander
I'll let you land one
Iro
No I'd rather see you start first
Xander goes and starts with a kick heading straight for Iro's face, but that is quickly blocked
Iro
I almost failed at blocking
Xander
No one has ever blocked it
Idris was looking carefully as he saw Xander and Armani actually breaking a sweat
Idris
(Okay so these two passed for sure but I want to see how it ends)
Xander
*tired* (Dam this guy has a lot of stamina....He doesn't even look tired)
Iro
(OH MY GOSH someone please save me I'm so tired 😵😵😵)
Xander
*sees Iro's necklace and starts moving towards him to yank it* Shouldn't you know wearing jewelry will make you an easy target
Iro
*quickly kicks Xander on the floor and looks at him coldly* Never lay your disgusting hands on my necklace
Xander
*a shiver runs down his spine* Y-Yes I'll take that in mind
Haji
That was an amazing performance you two put up
Iro
*eyes glistened up* (Finally...That voice that I've been wanting to hear)
Icarus
*looks at Iro* (He's going to get emotional no....)
Haji [1]
Haji
That's quite a performance you two put
Haji
I'm guessing these two are my new bodyguards
Idris
I was just about to ask them for their information
Haji
You mean you didn't already ask them for it?
Iro
*looks at Haji's behavior* (Does he not remember me ☹️☹️☹️)
Iro
(I guess....I do look a little different...I grew a little muscle..But I'm just toned 🤔)
Iro
(Theres no way I didn't change dramatically...Did this fool really forget me 😠😠)
Armani
Either way there's many people here
Armani
We should ask them to leave
Haji
Yes that's a good idea
Iro
Sir..Can I talk to you in private right in that corner 😄
Haji
(His voice sounds familiar 😕) Sure...Armani, Idris, Xander escort these people out
Haji
Our fellow recruit please help them
Iro
(Hehehe my appearance may have changed a little but my voice is still the same....He should remember me 👻)
Iro
*looks at Haji* (I know I'm still in your heart 😋 Otherwise why would you still wear your ring on a necklace too)
Iro
(I can see it from here) *eyes Haji's chest*
Haji
Alright...So what did you want to say
Before Iro could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the scream in horror
Iro within a millisecond, looked at where the danger came from as he heard the gun go off, and quickly shifted Haji to the side so he wouldn't get hit
Instead the bullet hit Iro right on the shoulder
Haji
(I-Iro?) *looks down at Iro* (Are you my Iro...)
Iro
Aww my arm is now stained with that scar
Icarus
*looks at his shoulder* Okay luckily the person missed and it didn't hit you directly
Icarus
(I've been taking lesson from Elias 😌)
Icarus
*looks at Haji* Sir I suggest you help him out in dressing his wound
Idris
Why should he do it?
Idris
Or any one of us can
Icarus
That's true but my friend here did get hurt saving your boss
Armani
Isn't this what you signed up for though?
Icarus
Yes but we're not on duty right now...You guys don't even know us
Icarus
So...we're just normal civilians
Haji
I'll take him to my cabin and treat him
Iro
(YESSS) *looks at Iro* (Thank you Icarus 😝)
Icarus
*chuckles* (Shii he better be worth it Iro)
Icarus
I'll help escorting the rest of the applicants
Icarus
I already detained the one that shot the gun
Haji was walking in front of Iro showing him the way to his office
Iro
(Eekkkk both me and him in a room again 😻)
Iro
(Oh all the things we can do 🤤 Or the things I can do...And no one will stop me 🙊)
Haji
Alright you sit there and I'll treat your wound right now
Iro
*pulls Haji to the chair instead and climbs on top of him* I missed you
After years, Haji finally remembered why he rose to the top...It was all for him, Iro...Everything that he did was for Iro
So he could be strong enough to protect Iro, but he still had to hide him away from the world
Haji
*coldly* You heard me...Get off me
Iro
*sighs and gets off* So that's how it's gonna be
Iro
No "I've missed you" "I'm glad you're okay"
Iro
Do you seriously not care about me...
Iro
*looks at him then a sinister smile appears across his face* Ah~
Iro
After all you did leave me 5 years ago without a word
Haji
*an ache in his heart appears* (Right....)
Haji
If all you did was come over to talk to me about this, I suggest you leave
Haji
We'll look for someone else to hire
Iro
I'll gladly take the job
Iro
I need something to keep me occupied
Iro
But if you really don't care about me no more, I'll take this *takes off the necklace that Haji was wearing*
Haji
*shocked* How did you-
Iro
I'm sure it'll just burden you down
Iro
Plus...You don't deserve it
Haji
*a loud ache in his heart* (N-No....)
Iro
*grabs onto the necklace* That was it though
Iro
I'll see you tomorrow *with a softened expression*
Haji
*watches as Iro leaves* (No....I promise that's not it...Please)
Iro
*mad* (Hmph....I know you still like me so why are you being like this 😠😠)
Haji
(Believe me....I don't want to be like this, but I have to protect you)
Haji
*ache in his heart* (Maybe...if we never met)
Haji
(If I knew all of this would have happened...)
Haji
(I had you all and now I got none of you)
Haji
(I wish I could go back to the night we met Iro, so I could avoid you and prevent myself from hurting you)
Haji
*looks around his location* I'm...I'm lost
Haji
I thought i was finally able to escape but it won't be long until I die of stupidity 🤡
Iro
*runs to Haji and holds his shoulders* You have to help me
Iro
Just hug me *buries himself in Haji's chest*
: dam I thought i was going to enjoy tonight
Iro
*peeks out* They're gone
Iro
*observes him* Are you new here?
Haji
Yea....Does it look like it
Iro
*looks at him and his suitcases*....Nooo
Iro
But if you're lost you can come live with me for the time being
Iro
I just got a new place 😜
Haji
*looks at the apartment in horror* This is your new place
Haji
*looks at the cracks in the wall*
Haji
How much did you pay for it?
Haji
We'll look for a place together tomorrow
Haji
*chuckles* Yes we're friends now
Iro
WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND 😖
Haji
WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND 😖
Iro
*jumps and hugs him* Yayyy
Iro
The lead was super young and he broke her heart
Haji
Baby they're around the same age as us
Haji
Everyone gets their heart broken
Iro
*looks at Haji* Will you ever break mine?
Haji
*snuggles in his neck* Of course not
Haji
The day I break it, you could torture me however you'd like
Haji
*at the store looking for lunch* Hmmm what should I make for lunch
Armani
Going anywhere Haji *smirks*
Haji
*stands in horror* Armani
Armani
Surprise seeing you here
Armani
You left our gang and hid pretty well
Armani
Don't worry we get it
Armani
I just came to tell you that Nova and Mordecai are on the move
Armani
They already attacked our base but they know you're not there so that was more of a warning
Haji
I can't leave though....I
Armani
I know....I did a background research and found out you're living with someone
Armani
Whoever it is...Either tell them and bring then in protection or just leave
Armani
*starts heading out* That's all
Haji
(Do I really have to.....)
Haji
Why am I such a coward
Icarus
Because you are *says bluntly*
