Tight-rope

-

Though several people had tried to talk him out of it - Tachibana included, for all he was clearly fretful over his nephew - Ryuunosuke had gone looking for any sign or even the tiniest scraps of rumours about Nao’s disappearance himself and kept searching, day and night. His father hadn’t been one of those who tried to stop him. Even when there was no sign or hint. Someone had taken Nao, and when Ryuunosuke found out who, found him. . . Ryuunosuke had nearly thrown one of the younger brothers through a wall tonight before heading out again; he’d been trying to rest, at his mother’s insistence, and heard the man talking about how he longer Nao was gone. . . Ryuunosuke wasn’t stupid, he knew that.

Nao bared his teeth on a rough little snarl. ‟The next time this fucking happens, Ryuu, I swear, I’ll-” Ryuunosuke threw himself at his boyfriend. ‟You can’t!” he wailed, and Nao tensed, looking down at him. ‟You can’t leave me! Nao!” Nao stilled, then rolled his eyes, putting his hand on Ryuunosuke’s head. ‟I will break someone’s neck; oh you idiot. Leave you. We’re bonded, remember?” he snapped, pulling Ryuunosuke’s hair.

He tried the door - locked; Nao refused to give him a key, saying he would let himself in and do unspeakable things or slink into Nao’s bed, which he would, but only because Nao was his and he was Nao’s and Nao should be in his bed anyway - then leapt through the broken window, careful not to put his hand down on the ridge of glass still in the frame. ‟Nao!” Ryuunosuke yelled again, striding through the small apartment, finding only signs of struggle - including Nao’s bed, the sheets and pillow thrown aside, the mattress itself pulled partially off the bed. If they had surprised Nao when he was sleeping, whoever they were. . . Ryuunosuke punched the bed, barely hearing the splintering sound of the frame giving way under his blow. He sank down on his heels. ‟Naooo!” he cried, head back.

My Valentine’s Spectacular is supposed to be self-indulgent fluff, after all, right? >.> Why not feature a tiny ship for a tiny fandom of a mostly-forgotten OVA?
