we did not!! finally slams into this, forgive me for imgur icons sobs

[luckyhood]

[His heart had been pounding in his throat. Perhaps it's his luck in play, and that's why this happened when Hinata hadn't been in the building. Pressed up against the wall with nowhere to run, he'd desperately sent out a message through his amulet, begging for help, begging for someone to hear him... This isn't supposed to happen, here. It's supposed to be safe, here.] "Everything is for free in your business, isn't it?" [Naegi yelps when the man's hand slams into the wall beside his head.] "So why can't I just take whatever I want? [He wants to speak. Wants to protest, be brave the way he was in the Class Trials, when he'd had to face the possibility of his own death. It should be nothing, but it's enough of a shock that he can't form any words. Not in his head, let alone out loud. The man's face is twisting when the unexpected happens, and the door opens, and that's- Naegi's brain doesn't quite catch up with what's happening. Not at the man who has sprung away from him, nor at the blood that is dripping in a trail behind who's shown up. It's not until that very person is between him and the one who'd threatened him that Naegi forms a word and then it's-] ...Dad. [Small and choked. And yet it's said certain and assured, not with the usual concern over whether he should be saying "Cherryblod-san" or "Dad". It's said with desperation, reaching out for safety in this situation that isn't safe at all.] Why are you... You shouldn't be... [But he breaks off as the man snorts. He does that, and yet he's visibly shaken, eyes darting between Cherryblod and the floor.] "Dad", huh? Doesn't look it. What the hell is going on here?"

forgive me for the same

[cherryblooded]

Ought to be my line, you know.

[His child is afraid. His child is desperate enough to beg for help, and that isn't supposed to happen. That can't be allowed to happen.

When Cherryblod moves, it's sudden and quick. One second he's just standing there, smiling, and the next his hand is wrapped around the other man's throat and squeezing.]

Surely you weren't just threatening my son. Would be beyond foolish, don't you think so?

[It's impossible to answer verbally with Cherryblod squeezing so hard.]

always <3

[luckyhood]

"Y-!" [It's little more than a puff of air, can't even really be called the beginning of a word. The man's fingers go for the ones wrapped around his throat, but he doesn't have the strength to pry them off. It was one thing to threaten the young man whose shorter than the average Japanese boy several years his junior; another entirely to deal with the strength of a grown man suffocating him. And Naegi feels his heart making a leap for his throat, for a different reason entirely. He trips forward, hands out, grabbing onto Cherryblod's sleeves as securely as he can and-] Dad, don't- Don't- Please, let him go! [Maybe it's because his brain is in panic mode, but he can't picture anything but the worst happening. And if it does, he can't bear that - the weight of this man's life, or for Cherryblod to bear it.] If... If something happens to him, then the Reaper- [He breaks off, buries his head in Cherryblod's sleeve. Tries not to think about the blood he slipped through to stand here.] Please... I promise I'm okay, so please...

ilu

[cherryblooded]

[Naegi has every reason to be concerned. If Cherryblod did kill this man, he wouldn't lose sleep over it. He threatened Naegi, therefore he dies.

But he would feel guilt over killing him in front of Naegi, especially with Naegi begging him to spare him. Naegi doesn't need to witness the level of cruelty that Cherryblod is capable of.

So, after a second, he releases the man's throat.]

Run along now.

ilu too!!!!!

[luckyhood]

[He doesn't waste any time. As soon as he's released, he's scurrying backwards with his hands, choking both on his terror and having his windpipe free again. His throat works for a second, like he's going to try and say something, maybe a curse- but then he's vaulting to his feet and running away without muttering a thing. It's not worth it. It isn't until he hears the bang of the front door that Naegi feels his knees shake, weak and wanting to buckle. He can feel the adrenaline crash encroaching on him like a train at full speed, but he can't collapse yet. He can't, because-] Dad, are- [His voice breaks a bit, so he swallows and tries again.] Are you okay? [That's probably a question that should be reversed, and even Naegi recognizes that, but he can't help asking because worry is clogging his throat...] All of this blood- Is this an emotional effect, or are you hurt? [Please don't be hurt.]

[cherryblooded]

Emotional effect, nothing to worry about.

[Aside from the implications of his anger appearing in the form of blood. That's going to be hell to clean up later...

Naegi's knees are shaking - he's not someone used to worse violence than this - so Cherryblod holds him close to his chest. He'd want to hug him no matter what.]

Did he hurt you?

[luckyhood]

I... don't know if I can not worry about you. [Even as Naegi says it, he finds himself relaxing into the hug, burying his head and breathing out unsteadily. Although it's still being threatened at close quarters the way he had been that has Naegi shaking, the blood brings back... memories. Really bad memories, but it's easier to chase away when he's being hugged like this.] Especially when there's just... so much... [Does he the mean the blood, or the situation? Perhaps it's both.] ...But I'm okay. He didn't do anything to me, it was just... [He swallows.] It was scary. [That feels childish to say, but it's the truth.]

[cherryblooded]

It must have been. But you're safe now.

[Cherryblod rubs Naegi's back gently, as soothing as when his daughter came to him after a nightmare.]

Not going anywhere anytime soon. ...Would be rude not to clean up your floor after making a mess.
