A new sensation hit Marco, one that was almost completely alien to him, one he hadn't felt since those terrible days of being a boy and standing at the feet of his father knowing he'd misbehaved. Fear. Panic. A deep, black sensation that something truly AWFUL was about to happen.<br/><br/>Just... just who was it that he had taken?<br/><br/>He could see it all now; standing before a judge and a foreign diplomat trying to explain away kidnap and assault,<span style="font-style: italic">'No, your honour, he was just too pretty to leave! I'm an artist, you see,'</span>oh because that would REALLY stand up well in a court of law...<br/><br/>Suddenly Ryuu moved. There was an arc of dark hair and his new pet shot across the room, he was at the door in the time it took a heart to beat, christ he could move when he wanted to! The fear evolved into a new sensation, one Marco was much more comfortable with. Anger. There was still the ever lasting, unrelenting, nerve biting undertone of panic, but a hot and bubbling fury had taken it's place.<br/>He darted after.<br/>Just as the sound of the door clicked he threw his weight, shoulder first into Ryuu and pinned him against the wall with the side of his arm barred across the boys chest. Just beneath he could feel the flutter of a heartbeat battering against his ribcage like a caged and frightened bird.<br/><br/>"NO!" he growled, dark hair growing wild about his face now, eyes glistening from underneath teeth bared. Even Marco's shoulders ached from the tension and the force of the impact, "I told you; you're NOT going anywhere!" his eyes drifted back to the paper on the table behind him, "especially not now..." he added a touch more softly.<br/><br/>Once raised by mafia, always raised by mafia and that primal, mathematical and precise part of his mind was already calculating the best way to get rid of a body... if, of course, worst came to worst...<br/><br/>"I OWN you," he hissed, locking gazes with Ryuu again, just to let him know that he meant business, "Do you understand? Trust me, it'll make it easier on both of us if you stay. Willingly."
