Kamen Rider Kiva: Useless Things, part 13 (Nago/Wataru, rated 13+)
Well, at least 28 has been subbed now, but there are still spoilers for those who haven't caught the ep. And it's AU to the series now, no surprise. And it's Nago/Wataru, which means slash.
Keisuke hauled Wataru back to Wataru's house, his mind full of plans. It had become apparent to him that Wataru had been telling the truth about his lack of knowledge about his ancestry - the isolation by his mother had meant that he didn't know that most people didn't hang around flying, talking bats. Wataru's mother had been a strong individual, and she'd raised her son her own way. But at least thanks to Shima-san's promise, she'd at least been unable to raise Wataru out-and-out as a Fangire.
Which meant that Wataru had the upbringing to assume a role in the Checkmate Four, and for the moment, more ties to humanity than the Fangire. Keisuke had to change his plans to accommodate what would happen if Wataru became King, but also keep Kiva's weilder human. That would require keeping an eye on him, keeping him on the straight path. And if it meant making him a puppet ruler of the Fangire, Keisuke would do that.
Wataru could have his rebellious moments, but he was mostly a sheep. Keisuke had to wonder if that could have been Maya's form, and if Wataru could ever assume it. He hoped not, on both counts. He had seen a sheep Fangire before. It looked stupid, and had apparently been a really big pain.
He could deal with any other form Wataru had later. If he was to keep Wataru human, then he had to set out rules that were right. Wataru would follow his rules.
And then, maybe, he'd get his clothes back from that little golddigger.
"Rule one," he said. "Don't argue with me. That hasn't changed. Rule two. Don't date women. You know as well as I do why that's important. You can talk to them over the phone or in person. Rule three. Avoid Fangire unless you're fighting them. I'll figure out what to do if it turns out you're King. Rule four. The only person you sleep with is me." He couldn't imagine Wataru not having urges, and he'd have to handle them, for the sake of humanity.
"So, you're still going to pretend to be my boyfriend?" Wataru asked, not looking at him. "And sleep with me?"
"I have to, for the sake of humanity," Keisuke said. At least Wataru wasn't arguing with him. He could be shaped. Keisuke would take charge, IXA would be glorious. And with the two of them fighting side by side, they'd defeat the Fangire. "Especially if it turns out that you are their King, I'm sure you'll be called upon to continue the succession."
And if it turned out that Wataru was destined to be King, then of course Keisuke would take care of the Fangire another way.
"I'm relaxing some of the restrictions because *apparently* it's useful to have at least some women in my life, and I doubt Megumi's interested in you," Keisuke said. "How many people do you know?"
"Um." Wataru sat there, apparently thinking. "Well, you, and Megumi-san and Shima-san sort of, and the master of the cafe, and Mio-san and Shizuka-san and Kengo-san. I think that's it, currently."
Three of those he named were Wondrous Blue Sky members, one was sympathetic, one was that girl, one was someone he vaguely remembered Wataru was seeing, and one was a slightly over-enthusiastic rocker. Two people to worry about, then.
"I am a bit worried about Mio-san," Wataru said. "I haven't seen her for a few days - that was the waitress that spilled ice cream on us at the cafe, Nago-san. She's a lot like me. Megumi-san keeps urging us to date, Kengo-san likes her too. To date her, I mean."
Right. "I'll make sure she's all right," Keisuke said, "And that she's out of trouble. In the meantime, you'll stop dating her. I'll find someone for her." It sounded like the girl wouldn't be as much trouble as Shizuka-chan. She'd probably be grateful if someone found her a husband. Kengo was out of the question, as Kengo needed a strong person to keep him focused too. He would at least get a measure of who she was and if she was a threat.
"Thank you, Nago-san." Wataru looked relieved. He wasn't going to be hard to control at all, Keisuke reflected. Kiva or not, he was gentle. Pliable. Or at least he reserved his ferocity for where it should be, in battle.
Shima-san's warnings came back to him. Wataru's emotions were tied in to his powers. Keisuke could not be a tyrant, or even seem to be one. He would be Wataru's hero, Wataru's bedmate, the firm-but-not-unyeilding man that Wataru needed. Wataru looked up to him, and Wataru would continue to look up to him.
Because he was Nago Keisuke, and he did things right.
