Eager to not be alone, he takes up a dubious offer for companionship. Notes As I always warn with any of my works of this nature, please heed the warnings and keep your safety in mind. Again, here is a link to an extension that will block some of the more upsetting tags from showing up. https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/3579-ao3-savior To everyone else, happy reading! See the end of the work for more notes As expected for a Friday evening, the restaurant is overcrowded and noisy. Deciding to come in the spur of the moment had been the first in a long line of mistakes. Impulsiveness had forced Goro to wait in line for a table, making for a rough start to the night despite his initial giddiness. He knew he was being foolish, naive, but he had won. Even in a losing game, there are wins. That alone was worth celebrating. “Ah, Akechi! Treating yourself tonight?” Goro shrugs and follows with a winning smile. “I suppose you can call it that. I’ve had somewhat of a win streak lately and wanted to celebrate.” “Passing all of your exams with flying colors, huh?” “Naturally.” Another picture perfect grin. “Although, I’ve certainly got my work cut out for me this year.” The waiter gives a casual wave of his hand. “A kid like you doesn’t have anything to worry about. Keep at it is all you gotta do! You’re a natural, remember?” “That I am!” Goro perches his chin on his hand and laughs amicably. Goro savors the last pieces of sushi on his plate, and though delicious they may be, he laments not having anyone to share it with. Sae had been his ideal companion- only companion actually, but she never went along with his suggestions for high end sushi. A shame,but this would have to do for now. While she was strung out getting intel on the rising number of rampage incidents, Shido increased the list of targets for Goro to rampage. One man’s loss is another man’s gain. More specifically, his own gain when Shido was generous. 'I'm sure you've seen the news. You've done well.‘ echoes in his head- Shido's low rumble in his ear making him sick and proud, making even the delectable food in front of him pale in comparison. Easy praise after a difficult foray into the metaverse to make it happen; he’d left nearly shaking, energy drained and eyes red, but it had been worth it for this. Oh, so worth it. The phone call had only happened two hours ago but he felt beside himself with joy, happily eating as he hangs on every word, mulling over what he could do next to hear them again. His fingers curl around a cooling green tea as he takes a final sip before pulling away from the counter to pay the bill. “All done for tonight?” “I am, thank you very much.” Goro smiles serenely, pressing a generous tip on the counter and waves goodbye.   Walking to the nearest station, pleased with himself for his successes and much deserved dinner. Alone, he idly reminds himself, but he shakes his head as if to physically dispose of the thought- of weakness, and passes through the turnstiles, only to get a brief call from Shido, summoning him to his apartment. Still riding the high from being praised earlier he dares to hope that tonight will be a celebration. It’s a pathetic wish, he knows that, but it doesn’t stop him from taking the soonest train that takes him to Shido’s high rise apartment, knees nearly knocking as his fist as he taps on the sleek front door. “It’s me, Shido-san.” Shido waves his hand, urging the boy to sit with him on the sectional sofa. Goro does so without hesitation, placing himself next to Shido, smiling all the while. The older man swills his emptied glass before setting it down, returning his gaze to Goro. “You came over so quickly.” “Ah, that is… I was in the area when you called me, so it wasn’t much of a trip to get here.” Goro brushes his hands against his knees, grip tight, feeling sweaty already in his gloves. “I appreciate that.” Shido hums as he pours himself another drink, downing it rather quickly. “By any chance, were you celebrating?” Goro jumps a little at that, a nervous smile and a hand brushing his bangs behind his ear. His throat closes before he can answer, and Shido replies before he can muster the courage to do so. “Because I was.”As he speaks, a wolfish smile emerges on Shido’s face, slowly, due to his obvious inebriation. Goro finds himself preening at the knowledge that his actions were such a success that Shido had invited him along to celebrate. “I’m grateful to have been of use, sir.” He dares to turn closer, knee brushing Shido’s. Shido leans in then, face hovering closely to Goro’s, to which Goro flinches, causing Shido to retreat with a frown. Goro laments his instinct, at possibly ruining his chance. Shido removes his glasses and pinches his temples, sighing deeply, saying nothing, making Goro miserable as he waits to be smacked or kicked out. “You’re not in a celebratory mood.” Shido states like a fact, making Goro bristle and fall right into his trap. “I am indeed.” Goro counters a little too harshly, so he slaps his hand over his mouth in embarrassment as he breaths, taking in Shido’s words. “I am. I was so glad to have been useful… I went out to dinner to celebrate.” “All by yourself?” Shido questions, hand hovering over his thigh before he firmly sets it down and rubs up and down, making Goro quiver, careful not to retreat from the older man’s touch. “Yes.” Goro says simply, rendered nearly speechless as their proximity, at the sexually charged direction their conversation was taking, wholly new. Shido had never been one for teasing, always quick to order Goro to his knees, retreating his attention as soon as he came. This time, Goro leans in, daring to be bold in an effort to prove his continued loyalty and worth. To be irreplaceable in a way he'd never been to a single soul. His gloved hands come to press against Shido’s chest, and he gives a surprised and pleased yelp when Shido grabs him by the ass and hoists him onto his lap, his thick thigh firmly between Goro’s legs. “I knew this is what you always wanted.” Shido pants into Goro’s waiting mouth before he proceeds to suck his face with his large hands like a vice grip on his son’s cheeks. “Always…” Goro answers, eyes half lidded and body languid in his father’s lap as they move against each other, sloppy wet sucks filling the room. Before he knows it, he’s all but humping Shido’s leg, trying for as much contact as he possibly manage with their clothes still on. Shido leaves no time for hesitation as he lets Goro guide the kiss, allowing his hands to roam towards Goro’s ass. He feels a firm squeeze, large hands massaging his cheeks before sliding into his pants, groping his bare ass. “Mmph…” he moans into the slow kiss, his nose whistling as he tries to keep his composure once he realizes that it’s indeed Shido’s erection beneath him, poking insistently at his crotch, “You’ve never done this before, have you?” Shido questions, as he pulls away from this kiss with a satisfied smirk. “I haven’t.” Goro lies, although it was true that he’s a virgin, he’d had plenty of sexual contact, albeit mostly unwanted. “Teach me, Papa.” he moans before he can stop himself, flushing bright red at the utterance. “Papa?” Shido repeats, his hands coming to a halt just as his brows furrow. “M-my apologies, it would seem that I lost myself a bit there.” Goro stammers as he tries to save face, grinds himself down to remind Shido of their previous antics. It’s then that Shido blinks back at him and stares for a long moment before he suddenly scoops him up, holding him bridal style as they briskly walk to the bedroom. “Um…Shido-san?” Shido doesn’t look down at him, simply ignores him until they’re in the bedroom. The room itself is modern, although it looks barely lived in. The intimacy of being allowed the sight of his father’s bedroom coupled with being carried in his arms strikes him as wonderful, and he lets himself revel in being so close, so treasured. His father drops him down onto the mattress gently, fatherly almost, if not for the way he immediately climbs atop Goro, his large frame looking as imposing just as it’s arousing. “Shido-san?” Goro questions again, trying to make sense of the situation as it stands, but not wanting to think about it too much. “You may call me Papa.” Shido replies easily as he quickly unbuttons his shirt to reveal his hairy chest; black curls adorning his muscular frame. Lost in the heat of the moment, Goro paws at the older man’s chest, running his fingers through coarse hair before his fingers dance atop defined pectorals. Shido’s hot, whiskey breath tickles his ear as speaks. “I’m going to claim you tonight.” Goro shivers, delighting in having Shido’s uninterrupted attention, even if the promise of it make his stomach turn as the physicality between them escalates. “I’m yours, Papa.” Goro’s eyes flutter closed as he moans, enjoying the sound of Shido’s belt buckle coming undone; the drop of metal to the floor makes him habitually wet, so he rubs his thighs together, wanting any sort of contact to relieve him, even as his anxiety begins to return. There was no way to back down now, no way to say no, so he puts on the mask that protected him best. Maybe if he pretended to want it bad enough, he would. “Please take me.” Shido climbs atop him once more, his hard cock bobbing in the air, begging to be touched. Goro reaches up to stroke it and purses his lips at the sight; at how his small hands barely manage to curl around his lengths, dwarfed by the enormity of such a daunting cock. Shido gives an appreciative grunt and grasps Goro’s wrist in his own, pulling it off his cock and pinning it above his head. His fingers come to pull at the waistband of Goro’s pants, pulling it back to expose a small patch of hair. “I knew you were a girl.” Shido states, eyes alight with something akin to pure lust. “Right from the moment we met.” Goro freezes, once again rendered speechless, only this time out of sheer fear. Too frightened to even protest, he stiffens while Shido slides his pants down, exposing his pussy to the open air. A blunt finger prods at his lips, messily poking at his entrance, hard enough to hurt. Tears begin to form in the corner of Goro’s eyes as he weakly lets his father take advantage, afraid but more than anything wanting to please the man above him. So he parts his legs and his lips spread even more, exposing more of his pussy to Shido. “Just like that, baby girl.” Shido exhales, pushing his finger into Goro’s wetness, pushing past the slight resistance to insert himself to the knuckle. In response, Goro’s fingers fist the bedsheets, his throat closing to swallow down his protests of pain. It’s not until Shido crooks his finger, pressing up against his plush walls that Goro begins to feel pleasure again. He bucks up into the touch, at how marvelous simply the knowledge that someone else’s finger inside him- Shido's finger- made everything feel so much better. He’s content to fuck himself on Shido’s finger, until Shido pushes his shirt up, exposing his breasts. Shame and arousal pool in his belly, coming to head as Shido forces his finger in faster, harder, his finger slamming against his vulva with a small slap. “M-more…” Goro moans, even as he begins grinding down onto the fingers, his pert breasts bouncing with the force of it. Shido’s fingers retreat, to which Goro whines, only to be replaced by the bulbous head pressing up against his entrance. “You’ll have to beg for it.” Shido demands. Goro goes stiff again, fear pervading him when he recalls the way his mouth struggles to fully take in Shido’s length, so how could his pussy? It was too much for a first time, he wasn’t ready, this isn’t right, he wants to say but doesn’t. “Ple… Please.” Goro meekly begs, as his hands come to encircle trembling body, giving himself the protective hug he so desperately needed. “Please what?” Please go slow, please get off of me, please love me, please die, Goro thinks, but doesn’t- can’t vocalize. He simply begins to cry, tears pooling at the corners of his eyes and spilling down the sides of his face and wetting his bangs, as he takes in the inevitability of it all. “Tch.” Shido doesn’t bother waiting for a proper response and pushes the tip against Goro’s tight entrance, earning him a pained whimper. It doesn’t stop Shido, and he fists his cock, positioning the head and uses his hand to force himself in. He grunts at the feeling of it, even if only Goro’s only been able to take in a small portion. Goro keens, his back arching as he cries out in pain, very nearly in full on hysterics. “It hurts…!” Goro cries as he pushes up against Shido’s chest, uselessly trying to get the larger man off of him. But Shido only grabs his wrists and pins them above his head, giving him more leverage to slowly sheath himself with a few messy pumps. “Don’t-” Goro winces when he’s suddenly slapped, sobering him while the man above him falls deeper into his drunken stupor. Or at least, that’s what Goro convinces himself of; finding it the only way to make his father’s actions justifiable. “Don’t tell me what to do, you little cunt.” Shido sneers, as his face lowers to hover over Goro’s, alcohol intense on his breath. “Don’t forget that you’re the one who came here, begging to be fucked.” Shido shuts his eyes and grunts, bucking into Goro’s hard enough to bruise. “Just like this. Stop pretending you don’t want it… unless you want to be considered useless?” Goro whimpers pitifully, knowing full well that Shido was goading him into accepting this, and also, knowing full well that he would allow it. Maybe even grow to love it, all to please Shido. “I’m not useless.” Goro tearfully counters, breath hitching with every syllable uttered. “Then show me.” Shido says simply, scowling as he pulls back, keeping himself sheathed inside of Goro while he moves their positions so that Goro is riding on top. He gives Goro’s ass a hard spank to spur the young boy on. “Don’t waste anymore of my time.” Goro acknowledges the order with a simple nod and a slow roll of his hips, only stopping to wipe away tears with his arm just to find that they won’t stop coming. So he decides to press his hands down on Shido’s chest, trying to move as much as he can despite feeling as if he’s been split in two. He smiles through his tears as he looks down at his father, a bored look planted on his face. A hard spank punctuates every word of praise when he begins to set a pace, growing accustomed to the searing, wet pain burning in between his legs. He manages to rise to the task by removing himself as much as possible; closing his eyes to fixate on the sushi from earlier, on his favorite novelists due to release new books this spring, on his 8th birthday and the Neo Featherman figurine his mother had gifted him atop a hastily baked and frankly, ugly cake. That was love. This was something else entirely. Something so disgusting and debauched Goro’s mind couldn’t even stand to be present for it, even as his body continues descending down Shido’s incredible length, his pussy greedily taking in every impossible inch. “Just like that.” Shido praises, punctuating the compliment with another rough spank. Goro gives a dead eyed smile at that; at having been able to please his father without even truly being there. Perhaps he wasn’t useless after all, maybe he could continue to show his worth this way, have praise soothed into his sweaty skin, making the pain dissipate in the moment, even if he had to carry it for the rest of his miserable life. Reinvigorated, Goro does his best to ignore the pain and starts to bounce atop Shido’s cock, now uncaring about whatever he had to do. He was far past the point of redemption anyway, so why not indulge in this sick pleasure. Shido rewards his enthusiasm by leaning forward, ass in his hands, and swirling his tongue around a hardened nipple. Goro trills, delighted by the lavish attention to his tit, and speeds up his bouncing, taking in more and more, easier every time even if the pain never truly fades away. When Shido uses his hands on Goro’s tight ass to dictate their pace, slamming Goro’s pussy down onto his cock, Goro shrieks, all at once pleased and pained. “Y-yes Papa…!” Shido gives several spanks in quick succession, bucking wildly into Goro’s waiting pussy. Finally, he takes two fingers and rubs messily at Goro’s swollen clit, making the young boy keen backwards, thighs trembling at the much needed touch. And with every sloppy swipe at his clit, Goro lifts himself closer to Shido’s fingers, taking in more and more of his cock, filling him up as he violently cums, gushing fluid onto his father’s thick fingers. “See? Your body is clearly enjoying itself. I’ll condition you to my cock soon enough.” Shido moves his wet finger away so that he can forcefully wrap his arms around Goro’s skinny torso, allowing himself the freedom to freely fuck into his son’s tight pussy, just as he’d envisioned since the day they’d met. Now that he’s been allowed to set the brutal pace, Shido grunts with the exertion of it, the alcohol in his system lowering both his inhibitions and stamina. Goro squeals with every hard thrust up into him, tears of pleasure and misery mixing with sweat into his father’s broad chest. It’s not long until Shido is nearly to the edge, his hips stuttering and driving in even deeper until he goes rigid, arms nearly squeezing the life out of Goro as his hips shallowly pump into Goro’s pussy, spilling his seed into his son. “ "Whore.” is all he groans, and Goro panics in his arms, tries fruitlessly to wrangle himself out of the older man’s merciless hold, nearly retching when he feels Shido’s cock fall from him, warm cum dripping from his pussy onto his sweat slick thighs. “How could you do that to me…?” Goro wails, his words muffled into Shido’s chest, his cries only audible when the older man shoves him off and away, leaving him to fall to the floor while curling in on himself like an infant. His cries hiccup, ripped from him, never ending tears spilling again as if they had never stopped, never would stop. “Stop your sniveling. Now.” Shido threatens, his eyes hard enough that Goro notices the malice even through his clouded eyes. “You’ll take a pill to make sure you don’t get pregnant, and the next time I dare to touch you, you better be ready,boy.” Goro isn’t sure what’s worse: the idea of carrying his father’s child, the thought of having sex with him again, or the deliberate contempt in his voice when Shido calls him a boy. “Yes...” Goro sniffles, taking a moment to gather his bearings, pointedly avoiding Shido’s scornful gaze. He crawls on the floor pathetically, eyes growing swimmy as he gropes around for his clothes, still just as upset as earlier. He’d been foolish; convincing himself that he wanted this, needed this to survive, to earn his father’s goodwill. But if this was kindness, a reward, then Goro wants no part of it. Wants nothing to do with this scum of a man. But Goro can’t leave Shido. Not truly. As much as he busies himself with delusions of grandeur; of “justice”, he knows that there’s a small child in him sitting up in bed waiting for the clock to strike midnight, for strong arms to encircle him and gather him into a safe hold, welcoming him him home. Goro shakily stands up to step into his pants, pulling the garment up his legs and wincing when wetness sticks to the cloth. He dresses himself quickly, doesn’t dare ask to use the restroom, and instead bows before Shido, pointedly ignoring the digital clock on the nightstand besides him. “I must be on my way.” Shido grunts in acknowledgement before lighting a cigarette, turning away from him.   Goro leaves then, promptly making his exit and slowly closing the door behind him. Only once he’s left the cheerful doorman with a practiced smile and terse goodbye does he dare check his phone. The dimmed phone screen reads June 2nd, 12:09am. A reminder of his mother- and now an absence that pangs at him over a decade later, and the stinging pain in his groin reminds me of his vow to himself. To use his meaningless life to enact a justice only he could fulfill with this power of his- that very power perhaps a consolation prize from the very gods who surely shunned his forsaken existence, just like everyone else has. He unlocks his phone, half expecting a scolding text from Shido or even Sae, but only nly a single notification waits on his phone, a reminder he made to himself that simply reads:  You are a door, not a destination. End Notes Because Shuake is my true love, the last fic in the series will be hurt/comfort and an actually happy birthday spent with Akira. Because fuck canon.
