Title: Something Wrong
Rating: PG
Word Count: 230
Pairing: Gary/Raoul – Team Moustache Curtains
Round/Fight: 2/C
Summary: I’m falling to pieces. Cythera, on returning to Corus, starts noticing that things are getting worse, and neither Gary nor Raoul are the way that she remembered them. Breakeven part 11, set post-Lioness Rampant.
It takes Cythera a month before she agrees to go ‘visiting’ with her mother, and it takes her all of three days before she is fed up withsimpering ‘visiting’, and she still has another two weeks before she can escape back to Corus and to her friends and Gary.
It takes Cythera all of five minutes to find Gary, locked in his study, and only another five to completely overrule him and bar him from work for the remainder of the evening.
The thought of him working like this, day after day, week in and week out, trapped within these four walls with only windows to show him there’s still a sun, and a world, and people out there… Cythera shudders again and squares her shoulders.
Gary hasn’t said anything to her about it, but Cythera knows that something’s up, something’s happened, and she will find out about it, because none of this is healthy and underneath, she’s suddenly very, very worried.
She finds herself at Raoul’s door somehow, her feet leading her down the familiar corridors, and breathes a sigh of relief.
He’ll know what’s wrong, he always does.
She knocks on Raoul’s door.
It takes several minutes before Cythera realizes that no one’s coming to open the door, and in the next moment she’s flattened by the soft, barely there sounds that mean that she’s being ignored.
