Some other you (hiddenxloyalties if that matters?)
[it does help me choose an AU tho! A Shun with his arm being twisted behind his back by Academia using his sister AU]
It’s excessive, what they do to him. Rob him of his sight, keep him chained in some pitiful room, observe him whenever he eats, and the only time that he even gets to see the light of day is when they take the blinds off of his eyes and tell him “go hunt this one down.” It’s always followed by the promise to see Ruri, that once he’s done what they needed he’ll be able to see her with the assurances that she’s okay.
And he had fallen for it–in a moment of weakness, of desperateness, instead of being strong he had grown weak.
Academia captured him.
He is chained, domesticated, a hunting bird waiting until they need him. They don’t want to use filthy XYZ scum to do their dirty work, not when they have their pride, but he’s useful. And as long as they have Ruri’s safety against him he will continue being useful.
“Ahh, look at you,” the door opens, Yuuri’s familiar voice echoing in the room. “I think you get more and more miserable every time I see you.”
“Fuck off.”
The words are harsh, a barb of poison, and certainly while it’s gotten him bruised ribs, harsh cuts in his skin, it’s the only thing Shun can hold onto until he finds his moment to escape. If he can escape.
“Not when I’m worried about your well being,” lies, all of it lies, Yuuri only caring about how much he can make Shun angry, how much he can make Shun lash out.
“Oh, that reminds me, you probably want to see a familiar face, right–”
They didn’t–not Yuuto–Shun feels his stomach drop. Not Yuuto, as well–
“–so here we go.”
Shun feels hands moving to undo the laces and knots of that stupid leather mask they put over his eyes, feels it fall away, and when he blinks, lets his eyes adjust, he sees Yuuto. Yuuto with harsh eyes, with a wicked grin–no.
No.
He sees Yuuri for the first time.
(And for once, in this entire mess of a situation Shun’s got himself into, for once, in the pitiful realization of what he’s been chained to, with what Ruri must suffer through, Shun wants to cry)
