Have I Collected Mr. Matsuda's Payment Today?

[The second payment has now been collected! I'm sorry that there may be some logical problems. If that bothers you, you can start reading from Volume 2!] *My other story, Give the Phantom Thief My Regards, is paired with Kaito Kuroba. Please add it to your favorites~ [Story Description] When it comes to second-tier figures within the organization, rumors about Rum run wild because no one knows what he looks like. By contrast, everyone knows what Golden Grain looks like. After all, who could fail to notice the guy who brazenly shows up in front of Gin every day and can make him crack a smile? They're childhood friends, after all. But what truly earns Golden Grain the respect of the organization's members is his resolute style and abilities far beyond his years. Golden Grain, the liquor factory's top heartthrob and model employee, as well as Gin's longtime partner, actually went undercover at the police academy in person without a second thought! Gin: What exactly did you do that night, over a decade ago? Golden Grain: I was just a kid back then. What could I have done? Gin: Hmph. Night Liao Xu had been noticed by that man when he was a child, then brought into the organization. Yet on one much-debated night over a decade ago, in a place no one knew about, he fell in love at first sight with a boy with curly hair. "I saved your father. Now it's time to collect my payment." Nine-year-old Night Liao Xu pinned the curly-haired boy's arms down with all his strength, leaving him unable to resist. Ignoring the boy's stunned gaze, he lowered his head and stole the first kiss of the boy's life. "Payment," he whispered in the boy's ear, brushing his thumb over the corner of his mouth. Fourteen years later, at the police academy, on graduation day. "Payment." The softly spoken word drifted on the wind into the ears of the person about to walk away. After graduation, Night Liao Xu returned to the organization and unexpectedly saw two of his "classmates" at the new recruits' training ground. Later, all kinds of theories started circulating within the organization about why Golden Grain had started wearing a mask. Night Liao, who exposed himself while saving Scotland after his identity was compromised: Shut up, Officer Morofushi. Otherwise... Amuro. Amuro, after learning Night Liao Xu's real identity: Matsuda... stay away from him. He's dangerous. Matsuda, after the thrilling Ferris wheel explosion and bungee-jumping incident: He's not bad at heart. I believe he'll make the right choice in the end. Black or Red? I am loyal to myself, always. But you are part of 'myself'. [Reader's Guide] · An exceptionally strong and alluring original male protagonist, loyal to the organization at his core, as the top x clear-headed, perceptive Matsuda as the bottom. No secondary pairings. · Happy ending. · This is not a rescue story. Hiro can be saved, but Hagi will die, because the protagonist can't see the future and is just an ordinary person. Hagi's death is an important turning point that deepens the relationship between Xu and Jinpei, and is also one of the key reasons Xu decides to save Hiro. · The protagonist is absolutely loyal to himself. At first, he is loyal to the organization because the Boss gave him a second life. Later, he turns against the organization because of Matsuda. So he was on the black side, not the red. Gin and the others will also be "saved" by the protagonist. · I just want to write a sweet romance. Any timelines that don't fit the original logic are headcanon. -- Description of my other story, Give the Phantom Thief My Regards: A new student with wine-red hair and pale yellow eyes arrives in Class 3-B at Ekoda High School. He seems to want nothing, need nothing, and yet appears to pay attention to the boy who loves performing magic tricks. A certain Kuroba: Why do you all think Akaba wants nothing and needs nothing? The boys: Because Akaba isn't even interested in Miss Koizumi! The girls: Because Akaba always looks so tired! Akaba Nagatsuki, who wants nothing and needs nothing (sighs): ...Kuroba, hurry up and go find Pandora, okay?! The new student, Akaba Nagatsuki, has many secrets no one knows about: First, he knows Kaito Kid's real identity and purpose. Second, he can only stay alive with Kaito Kid's help. Third, he has another name: "Pandora." Legend says that the Pandora Stone, which can grant immortality, glows red when exposed to moonlight. But nobody knows that the red glow symbolizes its magic, and that moonlight is the source of its power. After hiding in dark corners for many years, the Pandora Stone's magic dwindled. On the verge of destruction, this wondrous power from the universe awakened of its own accord, granting the Pandora Stone its own consciousness. Now it has two choices: Become human, or become a useless stone. However, gemstones in human form can't absorb energy from moonlight. Akaba Nagatsuki's Pandora magic can temporarily turn other gemstones into human forms and allow them to communicate with him mentally, so that the chosen thief can gather moonlight energy for him. The gemstones, now human: Good evening, KID. A certain thief: ?! Only when one hundred high-grade gemstones have been exposed to moonlight will Akaba Nagatsuki be able to live and die like a normal human. He has two years to complete the task. At first, he thought of the thief as someone he couldn't live without. Later, the thief became someone he couldn't live without. Kaito Kid, who still hasn't found the Pandora Stone but has finally just destroyed the mysterious organization, only wants to go back and get a good night's sleep. But as he leaves, the classmate who has fought alongside him many times hooks a finger around his left hand. "It's a full moon tonight, Kaito. Look into my eyes." The hundredth gemstone is himself. "So, Mr. World-Class Master Magician Kaito, guess why my name is Akaba Nagatsuki?" [Reader's Guide] 1. Top-focused, happy ending. Magic and magical power are a match made in heaven. 2.
