"Quiet me" Kyouhaba?

oh wow I haven’t written Kyouhaba in forever! thanks! I hope you like it and don’t mind that it’s an AU~

The ground tremors beneath Yahaba's feet. He stumbles, even as he continues to rush forward. He pushes past the people running the other way, ignoring the screams and shouts for the police. He knew this might happen. If Kyoutani wasn't so stubborn . . .

No time to think about that now. The house up ahead is wobbling. Shards of glass litter the front yard, and the windows are empty. Inside he can hear yelling, the harsh voice of a man yelling for Kyoutani to stop.

Yahaba doesn't hesitate. He sprints up the steps of the porch and flings open the front door.

Kyoutani has his father by the biceps and is holding the man against one of the shaking walls. He's sporting a bruised eye and a cut lip, and he's snarling, his eyes full of hurt and fury. His father is shouting at him, gripping Kyoutani's arms.

"You're going to bring this whole house down on top of us!" he's yelling, panicked and angry. "Stop this, Kentarou! Are you trying to kill us?!"

"Kyoutani!" Yahaba shouts, hurrying forward.

Kyoutani's head whips around, and his eyes look wild, like that of an animal's. Yahaba doesn't slow, however. Instead, he grabs Kyoutani's shoulder and pulls as hard as he can. Kyoutani moves with him, dropping his father to the floor, as he faces Yahaba.

"You shouldn't be here," Kyoutani growls, his hands trembling at his sides. "I can't stop it."

"Yes, you can," Yahaba says, grabbing Kyoutani's head in both hands. "Look at me! You can stop it."

Kyoutani squeezes his eyes shut, his breathing short and quick. Yahaba curls his fingers into Kyoutani's hair, pressing against his scalp.

"The power doesn't control you. You control it. Now get a hold of yourself before you kill someone!"

Kyoutani growls under his breath, his eyes flashing, as he opens them. Yahaba stares back at him, resolute and unyielding.

"I'm not going anywhere," he tells him. "So you better figure something out, because if you kill me I'm going to haunt your ass forever."

Kyoutani huffs what might be a laugh, and some of the tension seeps from his body. His shoulders slump, his fists relaxing, and the shaking world around them begins to slow. Yahaba doesn't remove his gaze from Kyoutani's. He stares into those deep set eyes and tries to calm his racing heart. Kyoutani's maintains eye-contact as well, his brows furrowing but no longer in anger.

"Deep breaths," Yahaba instructs quietly, inhaling deeply to demonstrate.

Kyoutani follows his lead, and they breathe slowly together. The screams from outside have stopped, and eventually the ground stops trembling. Yahaba carefully removes his hands from Kyoutani's head, but before he can drop them entirely, Kyoutani grabs his wrists, holding them firmly in both hands. Yahaba freezes, his heart pounding in his throat.

"Why did you do that?" Kyoutani asks, his voice gruff, his gaze searching.

Yahaba laughs, high and nervous. "You really have to ask?"

Kyoutani tilts his head, his frown deepening. Yahaba glances over his shoulder, as a siren blares in the distance.

"We have to go."

He pulls away, and Kyoutani lets him this time. He crosses over to the window, checking for escape routes. He can already see the police cars turning up the street, and there are multiple people gathering outside, watching the house. He turns around, looking between Kyoutani, and the man panting on the floor.

"We need to go out the back." Yahaba strides forward, grabbing Kyoutani's hand and pulling him back into the kitchen.

"Wait!" Kyoutani's father calls after them. "Where are you taking him?"

Kyoutani hesitates, but Yahaba gives his hand a firm squeeze, looking from the blood on Kyoutani's mouth to the man still on the floor.

"Somewhere you can never touch him again."

Remorse flickers across the man's face, but Yahaba ignores it. He pulls Kyoutani forward, out the back door, and into the woods behind the house, never looking back.
