Summary: “I need you to make a good impression at the campaign event tonight, sweetheart. The Miyano family will be there, and it would greatly help my reelection if I could count on their financial support. Their son will be there; you need to make sure the two of you hit it off.”
Kairi found out much later that Riku had gotten a strikingly similar pep-talk before they were introduced. “Do try to be charming at the party tonight. Mayor Uchida is bringing his daughter. Can you imagine how useful it would be to the family to have his political protection? So we need you to make sure she’s completely enamored with you.”
Of course Kairi’s father’s political career would benefit from the financial and underground support of the region’s oldest and most influential crime family. And of course Riku's family would appreciate any chance to add to their collection of bought politicians and law enforcement.
So Riku and Kairi were supposed to make peace with it, and join together as heirs to their families’ political and criminal empire.
Too bad they have little interest in playing along.
Day 12 of AU-gust: Crime AU
Would you believe that I've actually had a crime AU in mind for this fandom/OT3 for over fifteen years? Because I have. This is basically a super condensed version of the resolution of a much longer and more involved idea that includes mistaken identities, slow burn romance, and more actual crime. The longer version is called "Dressed To Kill" and will almost certainly never actually happen at this point, haha. So it was actually nice to get this little bit of it out of my system.
