Title: After the Light
Fandom: GetBackers
Summary: Ginji and Ban, after Masaki's betrayal.
A/N: So this one is in 2 parts, both Ban and Ginji's POVs. Its as gen as you want to make it, and about as gen as the anime made it. Takes place in episode 47, spoilers from episode 43 on. This is Ban's POV, and he swears a lot, so lots of language in this part.
Part 1
Ok. Stay calm. I am the great Ban Mido-sama, and I am not going to fly off the handle and slaughter this Kurusu bastard for what he did to my partner. As long as the bastard stays away from Ginji he gets to leave the room with his life. Besides, Ginji will be disappointed if I rip his head off or rip his throat out or something equally painful.
Ginji is the priority here, even though he'll be ok, he has to be, regardless of how motionless he is at the moment. He's alive, I would know if Ginji was dead, so he'll be fine. He will.
I have to maintain my image around Ginji's friends, and that means no outward displays of panic. I am cool and collected, nothing fazes me, not even the sight of my entirely too still partner.
Keep the bastard distracted, keep him talking. Talking means he's distracted, which means he's not focusing on finishing off my best friend and maybe leaving me an opening too…Damn! He disappeared! Fucking light.
Whatever, there's more important things to worry about right now anyways, like my injured partner. Shit, the closer I get the paler he looks. He shouldn't be this light, this breakable, it feels like if my arm wasn't under him he would snap.
This isn't good; come on, Ginji, wake the hell up! I don't see any sign of a serious wound but there is definitely something wrong, he's not moving at all even when I pat his cheek. Usually he responds to my call even when he's unconscious, just a little twitch but at least that's something.
There is no panic leaking into my voice, I am Ban Mido-sama and I do not panic, ever, even when my best friend could be dying in my arms. That is not desperation creeping into my voice either.
Come on, wake up, Gin! Please wake up, what am I supposed to do if you're gone? Besides rip your killer apart after making sure he relives every single nightmare he's had his entire life, of course. I don't care how mad or disappointed you would be, there's no point in pretending I'm not a monster if you're not around to make me think it's the truth. So come on, open your eyes!
Dammit, threadspool, if Ginji is dying from internal injuries you should tell me sooner! Fuck, I don't know if he can be moved or not but if I don't get him to help he could die. I can't let that happen, I have to get him to Gen or something…did he just move?
Yes! Thank you to whatever god or gods are out there, thank you for letting me look in those brown eyes again, thank you for letting me hear him call me "Ban-chan" again. Thank you for letting him come back.
