AU, PG, Senga, 339 words

The evanescence of the reddish, metallic-tasting vapour clears Senga’s head a little, but the pain that came with it doesn’t go away as easily, shooting bolts of pure agony through his body with every movement he makes. Senga tugs experimentally at his restraints, the metal shackles holding his arms above his head and binding them to the wall. The clatter of the steel chains pounds a merciless ache in his head, all his already-heightened senses on overdrive.

He doesn’t know if he can still speak, if he even has the energy left for it, but he tries anyway.

“Nika,” he whispers, his voice shaky and cracked. “Nika, help me,” he says again. But Nikaido can’t possibly hear him anymore, he’s too far away, separated from Senga too long that their bond and telepathic links they had once shared has long been severed.

“Nika,” he attempts again, but it hurts to even speak, so he goes back to repeating Nikaido’s name in his head, over and over again like a protective mantra. Nika. Nika. Nika.

Senga has barely any more perception of time, doesn’t know how long he just sits there with only the comfort of repeating Nikaido’s name to himself, but suddenly there’s a little click, and a soft hissing of gas being released into his prison. He jerks up in a panic.

“Please, no,” he tries to beg, looking up at the small black camera hanging from the ceiling. He can’t see or hear his tormentors, but he knows they can see him.

He can already smell it now, the all too familiar smell of the bitter, metallic torture gas. “I’m sorry!” he screams at the camera’s cold glass lens, but the only sound he can manage is a strangled sob. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please stop!”

Senga screams soundlessly as the gas claims his body and mind once again, writhing and arching backward into his chains. He calls out Nikaido’s name one last time, and then the darkness rises up and envelopes him in its black embrace.

...and here I clicked the link and happily thought I'd get to read a nice and probably cute Senga-centered sleeptime fairytale. T______T

;_________; WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?! I know it's ridiculous to feel this bad for an AU fic character but... but. It's Senga. And it feels freaking bad to read something like this.

"doesn’t know how long he just sits there with only the comfort of repeating Nikaido’s name to himself"
This. Practically made me cry. And the ending - I have no words. Except that I totally decided that Nikaido WILL come there and save him. Somehow. He won't just die there, right? RIGHT?

So well-written, too. Feels awfully real. ;_____; I can't.

(But it's about Senga. Even if it makes me want to cry. So ♥ anyway. ;;)

so he goes back to repeating Nikaido’s name in his head, over and over again like a protective mantra. Nika. Nika. Nika.
