“Jin, I think... I think Ueda’s in trouble,” Ryo explained, his voice cracking as he tried to stand still.
“Are you sure? Be--”
“Yes, of course I’m fucking sure, his psycho boyfriend just rang me,” he spat, and Jin went quiet. "I think... I think he's raping him."
“Okay, I’ll call Kame and he’ll ring the police - again - and an ambulance. You wait for me, and I’ll come and get you,” Jin ordered, and quickly hung up.
Ryo almost tripped over his own feet trying to get to the genkan to put his shoes back on. All he could think about was Ueda, that small voice crying out his name, as if he were the only one he could think of who could help him.
Jin rang him when he arrived, and Ryo rushed out to him, barely in the car before Jin was driving off. "Shit," Jin muttered, running a hand through his hair. "I hope we get there in time."
Ryo didn't say anything. Even though Ueda's house was just around the corner, it seemed like the road was suddenly entirely too long. "Jin, drive faster," he murmured, but Jin wasn't paying him any attention, his eyes focused on the road.
Ueda's house was slowly coming into view; the stark white of it against the normal red-brick of the houses next to it making it impossible to miss. Ryo was out of Jin's car before he had fully parked, slipping a little on the grass as he ran for the door, a sense of deja-vu hitting him as he bashed his fist on the door.
Jin wrenched him out of the way. "Just go in, you idiot," he snapped, flinging the door open and pushing infront of Ryo. "Where is he, do you know?"
But Ryo didn't have to answer, the only noises in the house leading them upstairs. "Yamashita!" he roared, racing up the stairs as quick as he could. Jin was following behind him - he could hear his footfalls on the stairs behind him - but something made him stop dead.
"I'm here. Save me."
It wasn't Ueda who spoke.
"Shit," he heard Jin mutter, brushing past him. Ryo blinked, and started up the stairs again, taking them two at a time. Jin was at the top of the stairs, panting, trying to figure out which way to go, but Ryo knew exactly where he was going, pulling Jin to the right.
"Yamashita?" he called, slowing down, and pushing the door open. Ryo's heart dropped.
Yamashita stood above an almost-unconscious Ueda on the floor, tears streaming down his face as he held a knife to Ueda's throat, his eyes full of anguish. "Save him," he whispered, his hands shaking, not taking his eyes off Ueda's face.
Jin moved first, twisting the knife out of Yamashita's hand and pulling him away. Yamashita went limp in his arms, collapsing to the floor and dragging Jin with him, clutching onto his sleeve and mumbling nonsensical things into Jin's collar.
"Ueda?" Ryo called, kneeling onto the floor near Ueda's head. His eyes were closed, a big bruise starting to form over one eye. He was naked from the waist down; Ryo reached for the sheets of the bed nearby to cover him up, trying to save some of his dignity.
Ueda blinked. "Nishikido?"
"Yeah," he murmured, and Ueda tried to move, wincing as pain shot up his spine, but Ryo pressed a hand to his shoulder lightly. "No, don't move. The ambulance is coming."
"Thankyou." Ueda closed his eyes again, sighing. Ryo wasn't entirely sure Ueda really knew what was going on.
Ryo shared a concerned look with Jin, who was still trying to calm Yamashita. "When is Kame getting here?"
"I told him not to come," Jin whispered back. "I didn't want him to be here."
Ryo nodded, stroking a hand over Ueda's hair, praying that he was going to be okay. Again.
"I'm sorry," Yamashita murmured. "Fuck, Tatsuya, I'm so sorry--"
"No," Ryo said, standing, hands trembling in rage. "No, you don't get to say that-- You-- You're fucking disgusting-- I can't--"
But Yamashita wasn't listening, staring at Ueda with blank eyes and muttering apologies. "I'm sorry--"
"Shut up!" Ryo roared, making even Jin jump. "You did this! This is all your fault! You can't just fucking apologise and expect everything to be okay--"
"Ryo--"
"--What if you had fucking killed him this time? What if you've gone too far? What then?" he screamed, standing over the top of him, Yamashita's blank eyes fuelling him on. "Do you even mean what you say? Are you even sorry? Get the fuck up and face me like a man!"
"Ryo!" Jin yelled, finally silencing him, "You're scaring Ueda," he said in a calmer voice, once he got Ryo's attention.
Ryo turned to Ueda, who was flinching away from him. "...Oh."
"Nishikido?" Ueda asked again, and Ryo nodded carefully.
"The police are here," Jin whispered, the sounds of their feet pounding up the stairs giving them away before Jin had even spoken, but Ryo ignored him.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing here?" Ueda asked, and Ryo frowned. "Why are you yelling?"
"What?"
But the police had arrived, casting an eye over the scene in front of them before wrenching Yamashita out of Jin's grip, and pulling him into the corridor, shutting the door behind them. Yamashita didn't struggle at all, Ryo noticed, but went with them rather willingly.
Ueda watched as they took him. "Where's Tomo going?" he asked, thoroughly confused. "And why aren't I wearing pants?" he suddenly realised, staring at the sheet wrapped around his legs.
"We'll explain later," Ryo said, moving over to him. Ueda just watched him come closer, his eyes rather vacant. "Are you alright?"
Ueda hummed. "I think so. But I don't think Tomo is."
"The ambulance will be here soon," Jin said, walking over and putting his phone away. "Hopefully."
"Hello," Ueda said, suddenly realising they weren't alone.
Jin stared. "Hello..."
"Who are you?"
"...Jin."
"Have we met?"
"Oh. I suppose... I suppose we haven't. Not really," Jin said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh. I'm Ueda," he said, smiling a little and wincing as the bruise on his eye made itself known. "Ow."
Ryo was worried. What the hell had Yamashita done to Ueda to make him forget what had happened in the past few hours? He knew he had to wait for the ambulance, but he couldn't help but worry when he looked into Ueda's eyes and saw almost nothing.
"Where were they taking Tomo?" Ueda said, staring at the door. "Is he alright? Did I do something...?"
"No. No, you didn't do anything," Ryo murmured. "You did nothing wrong."
They jumped again as Jin's phone rang. It was Kame, he said, to tell them that the ambulance was there, and they needed them to keep the front door open for them. Ryo nodded, and Jin was off before he could say anything, running downstairs so he could hold the door. Ryo quickly searched for some pants Ueda could easily slip on, before they could get to their room.
The paramedics arrived just as Ueda was asking who Kame was. They carried a stretcher of sorts, as Kame had said that he wasn't sure what kind of condition Ueda was going to be in, and lay it down on the floor.
Ryo helped them to coerce Ueda onto the stretcher after they had looked him over. "You're going to be okay," he whispered, and Ueda smiled a little.
"That's good, then," he said, trying to laugh. Ryo smiled. "I'm going to the hospital, right?" he asked, and Ryo nodded. "Can you come with me?"
"Of course," Ryo said. "I was going to."
"Thankyou."
