Brance// I just want someone to care// Bruce x Vance

Christmas

It was christmas. The month had gone by so quickly, Amy had been so excited, positively buzzing. Bruce however, he was indifferent. He loved christmas it just didnt feel like christmas not with his worrying. He had been thinking about Vance daily and he missed him, Vance hadn't spoken to him since early November. Bruce had asked around but no one had seen him, it was like Vance had disappeared.

Bruce was in love with him. He knew it now. No one thinks of their friends like the way he does. No one imagines kissing their friends in a romantic way. He was in love with him. But now Vance was gone.

Bruce didnt know what to do everything was fucked, his parents could see what the anxiety was doing to him but he was trying to ignore it. Even Amy could see. Was he really that obvious?

Amy loved her presents but the mood was significantly dampened and it was his fault. His anxiety. His worrying.

He masked it and joined in, even if christmas was ruined for him it didnt have to be for everyone else. He just hoped Vance was having a better time.

Bruce's decision to pretend to be happy significantly lightened the mood and it quickly turned to a happy christmas. The smiles on everyones faces almost burned his worries away but not quite.

The day flew boy and he thought about Vance a little bit less, he knew it was unhealthy to think about him even this much but he was fucked up. Vances disappearance really messed with him.

The next day Bruce set out to look for his best friend. His crush. He didnt find anything. Even tge house was emoty, abandoned actually, completely stripped to which he notified the owner who had no idea no knes was even living there.

It was worrying. Had he been kidnapped? Did they move? Bruce didnt know and that was the problem. He was searching well into the early hours of the morning when his mother found him, when she grabbed him he broke down in her arms and just cried. It was too much.

Bruce let it all out. He needed to. It was just bottling up amd that would do no good. He explained everything to his parents and they agreed to search for Vance with him, they liked him too after all. Even if he was an angry boy.

Bruce was sent to bed and for the first time in a month he got a wink of sleep. It was incredibly refreshing.

The first stop the Yamadas made was the police station to bring the case to light before printing missing posters and putting them up everywhere which took up all the daylight hours thsy had but that didnt stop Bruce, he continued to search, going to the depths of the town and thoroughly checking Vances spots only to find nothing. Nothing at all. It was like he vanished. Bruce wouldnt give up though. He'd hardly looked and plus he was a determined boy.

Soon he came across a house, vances name scraped into the wall a clear statement of his domain, belongings were scattered around the place. Vance had been living on the strets, well not the streets but an abandoned house no less. Had he been kicked out? Left behind? Ran away? Either way something was wrong. And it was in a ominous way. Bruce was almost certain he'd been kidnapped. If only he had come to him with his problems. Bruce lnew Vance was prideful but getting kidnapped because of it? That was a but far. But the facts were 1. Vance was kidnapped. 2. Bruce would find him 3. Bruce had a crush on Vance and 4. When they saved him Bruce was asking him out.
