♔

It’s nearly half a year since Souji left Inaba and he’s barely said a word to anyone. Yosuke and Chie have attempted to contact him, Dojima’s even called his sister to make sure the kid is ok. He’s fine, or so he says. But he waits, glancing around anxiously like he’s being watched. Of course he’s not but still. He can’t help but feel an empty pair of eyes baring into the back of his head.

He sits and waits, deciding that maybe a quick trip will clear his head and so he buys the first round trip train ticket to anywhere. He doesn’t care where, tells his parents it’s for school, makes up a reason and leaves. Souji loses sight of his town and then there is nothing. No skyscrapers, no cars, just fields on one side and water on the other. For the first time in a long time, he feel’s somewhat safe.

It’s only at that moment that he feels a buzzing coming from his cell phone. Reaching for it, he pulls the cellular device out from his pocket and stares at the name calling. Tohru Adachi.

He hesitates for a moment before flipping the phone and placing the receiver near his ear.

“And just where do you think you are going, Souji-kun?" His voice is low, almost a purr and then there is a slight chuckle. Souji can’t breath, his mouth is dry, how could he have known? "Last car. Now.”

Souji almost doesn’t go to the last car of the train, but he isn’t stupid, he knows the consequences. So now he stands, face to face with the man who has plagued his thoughts since his last night in Inaba. The last person who’s bond was still intact. 

"Adachi-san…" He manages to breathe, a smug grin spreading on the older man’s face. "How did…"

"You didn’t really think I wouldn’t keep tabs on you, now did you?" Adachi chuckles, taking a step towards Souji, the younger stepping back impulsively. "Now…would you kindly tell me where in the world you think you’re going, hmm?"

Souji felt the wall of the train car hit his back and now Adachi had one hand pressed against the wall near his face and the other a tight grip on his collar. In those moments, Souji felt as if time had stopped as he and the young detective stared at each other intensely. 

And then, all at once, it seemed to speed up. Lips against one another, hands desperately reaching, grasping onto clothes, hair, at one point Souji felt Adachi’s grip around his neck. They fought for control of the other, rolling against the wall and onto the floor, aggressive and needing. The scene quickly turned as Adachi soon had the younger pinned to the floor, hair a bigger wreck than normal, his tie loosen, shirt unbuttoned, bite marks running up and down his neck. He laughed darkly and tilted his head slightly, clicking his tongue at Souji.

"You little brat…You’re such a pain in the ass…" He tighten his grip on Souji’s wrists, leaning close to kiss him once again. "You never answered my question, Souji-kun…" 

"To see…" Souji was breathless, gasping against the older man as he started to work the younger’s shirt off, biting and kissing on his neck, cheeks and lips.

"To see..?"

Souji sucks in a breath slowly, trying to relax before muttering. This causes Adachi to stop what he’s doing. 

"I’m sorry, care to share? I couldn’t quite hear you."

Souji whines before closing his eyes. “To see you.”

Adachi’s laugh sends shivers up and down Souji’s spine. He watches as the man takes his tie off, grabbing the younger’s wrists and using the tie to keep his hands together. He glowers=s down at him, his eyes hinting yellow as the glare of the setting sun bounces against the inside of the car.
