❝No thank you to your actual savior?❞

❝Triggering the alarm wasn't saving me❞

»»»«««

"Mommy, how did you and daddy meet?" Your first child curiously asked you one night.

You smiled thinly, looking over to your husband across the room. "Hiro, should we tell her about it?"

He closes the pocket book he was reading, removing his reading glasses with a sigh. "Well, she's too young.."

"But she needs to know, right?" You finished his sentence with an understanding nod.

Takahiro strides nearer to the bed, sitting on the opposite end. He offers his daughter a smile, filled with love, "It isn't the best love story out there, sweetheart," he warns the girl.

"But that's how mommy and daddy met. I wanna know!" She pouts and throws her arms in demand.

You laugh at her childishness. She's always been so curious about everything. "Alright, baby. But this will stay a secret between us three, okay?"

"Okay!"

"So once upon a time.."

Flashback

Eighteen year old you stealthily walked across the dark room. No sound escaped you as you went behind the counter table, bringing out a hair pin to unlock the lock that stood between you and what you wanted and came to get.

As the cabinet came unlocked, you took more than half of the cash and placed it inside your empty bag. Just as you closed the cabinet, an alarm came blaring from above.

You stood alert, looked around you, and stiffened when you saw another black figure across the room. The figure was frozen in place, and you hesitated if you should do something about it or not at all.

And when you realize that the other person was the one who had triggered the alarm, a vein appeared on your forehead in frustration. 

"Oi!! You there!" You yelled and called for the person's attention. "How dare you trigger the alarm. Now the police will be here any minute now!"

The person doesn't say a word. He strides over to you, grabs your wrist and pulls you out of the back door of the building. 

You tried to say something, but he signalled you to shut up with a finger over your lips. 

It was only then you realized that the person is a he. The male had quite the attractive face, but you would never admit that out loud.

Just as he was leading you out of the alley, bright lights surrounded you both. You knew it was the end of everything.

"Put your hands in the air!"

You did as you were told, surrendering. There was no escape now. If only the person beside you didn't trigger the alarm, you would have the money all to yourself.

The police binded your hands wirh handcuffs, also to your companion. The both of you were being pushed to a police car to be taken into custody for awhile.

"Hold it right there, officer."

You looked up to see another police. But he had a much more authorative aura around him. He had his arms crossed, gaze fixated on your companion.

The police nears towards him, and sighs. "Takahiro? You've got to be shi--.."

"Please, Matsukawa-san.." For the first time, he spoke. "You've got to understand.. My mom is sick, and father is having a hard time with his job. I had no choice.."

The officer named Matsukawa heaves a very heavy sigh. "I'll let you and her go, Takahiro. Just promise me you aren't doing this type of thing again," he warns off, "I'll have Issei keep a better eye on you starting tomorrow."

Takahiro nodded thankfully. "Of course, Matsukawa-san. Thank you so much."

The handcuffs were taken away. You and Takahiro were still taken inside a police car, though, to be taken home.

You were still stuck with the attractive wannebe thief at the back. You've been silent all this time, but you wanted answers from him.

"Hey, you--"

"Call me Takahiro," he doesn't let you finish a question. He gives you a serious look. A serious look that is suppose to be illegal because he looked so damn handsome.

"Whatever, Takahiro, sir-trigger-the-alarm. Just tell you why the hell did you decide to trigger the alarm?" You sassed him without a second thought.

"Because of me, you're spared of being thrown into jail," he retorts back with a roll of his eyes.

"That doesn't spare you from being the alarm trigger," you almost yelled at him. 

"Why can't you just thank me for what I did?" He says back, certainly not amused.

You neared towards his face, ignoring the feeling in the pit of your stomach that told you to stop and get away from him as far as possible. He angered you, and you didn't let people who anger you off so easily.

"If it weren't for you, I would have the money to feed my family. I would be able to save them from starvation and dehydration for a couple of days. I could have helped my family. But thanks to you, I'm no hero," you spat the words harshly and honestly at him.

You saw the unamused expression in his eyes subside. His eyes soften, and there's a small frown on his face.

"Look, I didn't mean to offend you or anything," he apologizes contritely. "I didn't mean to trigger the alarm either. But I did save you from the police, didn't I? If I didn't, you wouldn't be returning to your family for a few days."

In realization at his points, you stay silent.

"Miss? This is your stop now," officer Matsukawa calls out from the front.

You send the man a appreciative nod and smile. "Thanks, officer."

"No thank you to your actual savior?" Takahiro cheekily asks from beside you.

You rolled your eyes at him. "Triggering the alarm wasn't saving me."

"At least tell me your name," he pleaded one last time.

You contemplated, hand stuck on top of the handle.

One look at him, and you gave in.

"It's [name]."

Flashback end

Your daughter's eyes finally closed shut at your final words. She couldn't say any type of comment, for sleep took over her.

Takahiro smirks at you, "Good times, eh? You were so feisty back then."

"Shut up, Hiro," you reprimanded him as you stood up to leave the room.

Your husband follows you. He has a boyish smile on his still attractive face as he held your hand until you reached your shared bedroom.

"Should we set an earlier alarm for tomorrow?"

"Fuck the alarm, Hiro."
