(Y/n)'s POV
The four of us had made it back to Trigger's dorms without much trouble, yet the plague of Naomi's consistent disruption roamed my thoughts. Without a word, I went straight to my room.
There was a knock on the door, making us stiffen involuntarily. It hadn't seemed as vicious as Tenn had described, yet one could never be too sure. Ryuu strode up to the door and hesitantly opened it, breathing a sigh of relief once seeing who it was.
Momo poked his head through and smiled. Gaku-nii quickly went towards the cheery idol and hurriedly pulled him inside. The confused male stumbled over his feet before my brother shut the door.
"Sorry about him. We need to be cautious."
"Huh? What do you mean? You're acting kinda gloomy," Momo exclaimed.
"We're being 'stalked'," was Tenn's quick yet slightly exaggerated reply.
"By who?"
"(Y/n)'s boyfriend's ex," said Gaku-nii.
"Eh?! You have a boyfriend?!"
Despite the normalcy of his question, my cheeks blushed a light pink as I quietly answered him. He happily pulled me into a hug and congratulated me on my 'achievement'.
"So why are you here?"
"I heard from Ryuu that you guys came back from America, so I just wanted to say hi," he replied.
Tenn offered him a cup of tea, which he gratefully accepted before we moved to the living room. Ryuu placed a hot cup of hot cocoa in my hands, warming me up from the cold worry spreading from my heart.
Whilst they slid into an eased conversation, I wondered about other things. What if Naomi threatened everyone here? What if she threatened IDOLiSH7? I sipped the steaming beverage.
I was confident in my skills but I wasn't confident about her methods of exacting 'revenge'. This one particular detail made me worry and tremble, and I had no idea how to reassure myself.
"(Y/n), here," Tenn exclaimed.
"Huh?"
He plopped a (f/f) candy into my mouth, smiling a nonchalant grin that eased my mind for a while. I felt myself smiling back before using Ryuu's arm as a pillow. Another knock on the door destroyed our easygoing mood.
Gaku-nii stood up to answer it, and was faced with a normal delivery guy. The package was seemingly being delivered to me, although I had no memory of ordering anything.
"Alright, I can take it to her," said Gaku-nii.
"We require a signature from her," replied the guy.
I hurriedly went over before my brother could start an argument. As the man handed me the pen, he grabbed onto my arm and forcibly held a cloth to my mouth.
Three more men came, preventing the others from coming after me. I struggled and struggled in his grasp, fighting against his tight hold. Gaku-nii screamed my name, his eyes a mirroring of frantic worry.
Ryuu was already trying to fend off the men with my brother. The last I saw were their panicked faces, their voices screaming...and the iridescent tears held in Gaku-nii's eyes.
Gaku's POV
The men disappeared, along with (Y/n) and her captors. The burning in my chest, the burning behind my eyes. I punched the wall, growling in frustration before kicking the chair.
"Gaku, calm down!" Tenn exclaimed.
"How do you expect me to calm down?! My sister was kidnapped right in front of me!"
"Let's think this through. We can't think if your head is clouded by anger," said Momo.
"Why did this have to happen to her? I-I..."
"It's probably Naomi. She's been letting jealousy control her actions," Tenn theorised.
The trembling refused to stop. The worry refused to leave. I held my head in my hands as the memories came back, crushing my thoughts with their devastating sentiments.
The front door slowly creaked over as Mitsuki hesitantly came in. He seemed to have not a clue about what had happened but soon noticed the gloomy mood.
"Is there something you need?" Ryuu asked.
"We just wanted to ask (Y/n) something but she wasn't picking up the phone so I came over..." he replied.
I stalked up to the shorter male, grabbing the front of his shirt. Tears formed in my eyes as I begged him to make her come back. Naomi wanted his brother. He had to be able to do something to bring my sister back...
"Tell Iori to do something about this!"
"Gaku, let him go!" ordered Ryuu.
"You of all people should know! You should know what it's like if you lose your sibling..."
"...I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'll try see what I can do."
He pried off my grasp and left. Momo quickly fetched me a glass of water. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't think. If (Y/n) died...if she ended up dying...
No one's POV
Mitsuki had ran all the way back, unable to stop to catch his breath. Once he entered, he collapsed onto the sofa, panting. The others gathered around him, wondering what had caused such an increase in physical activity.
"(Y/n)'s been kidnapped," was all he said.
"What do you mean? You can't be serious..." Tamaki began.
"I just got a call from Naomi."
They looked towards Iori as he came over, looking sick and uneasy. His hands clenched into fists by his side, his hair shielding his eyes as he sat down to tell them what he hadn't wanted to say.
"She kidnapped (Y/n)...to get back at me," he whispered.
The room went silent. Nobody dared to breathe. The silence was almost too unbearable but no amount of words could fill the hole in Iori's heart, the ever present guilt tearing it apart.
"So what does she want?" Yamato finally asked.
"...she wants to talk with me, face to face...and discuss the 'terms'."
"Tch, she won't dare to hurt (Y/n)," Tamaki exclaimed.
"Gaku's literally a mess. I've never seen him look so distraught before," Mitsuki said.
"Something else must've happened, right?" asked Sogo.
"Who knows? We can't contact- hang on."
"Momo was also with them," Mitsuki added.
"Oi, we can do something about this," Yamato concluded.
"Oh yeah? Like what?" asked Riku.
"Call your brother. Get them to come over."
