We follow the reunion of Leo and Eliot, who were once childhood friends, but are now absolute strangers.
The walking signal came up for the pedestrians of Tokyo Square, where with clockwork fluidity, the massive crowd of people began to move along to their destinations near and far. Eliot had just arrived and was getting used to the busy bodies that walked the streets, but upon crossing he noticed a purse-snatcher in the crowd. Hearing the woman's cry for help, Eliot attempts to cross the street back in the other direction only to have his pursuit stunted by other people as well as the oncoming traffic of cars. He waits for the lights to change again, but it seems as though days have gone by while it has been only a few minutes.
He sprints to the woman's side, making sure she's not injured and assuring her with his best use of Japanese that he'll catch the thief. He'd gone off sprinting again, noticing the break in crowds as the thief dipped and dodged oncoming pedestrians. A quick push of his ankle turned him left into a coffee shop, this was not Eliot's first time here, and the coffee shop had two entrances. He made his way through, grazing the side of the thief. With a quick inhale, he stepped forward to lock onto the position of the runner. With an exhale, he advanced forward in a shoulder check...
The walking signal came up for the pedestrians of Tokyo Square, where with clockwork fluidity, the massive crowd of people began to move along to their destinations near and far. Leo walked out of an ice cream parlor, doing her best to avoid the oncoming traffic of pedestrians coming his way. She'd heard a cry for help about a block down the street and caught a glimpse of some punk running towards her direction. She took a massive bite out of her cone and vaulted over cars in the street to make it across. With a quick inhale she stepped to her side which placed her just in front of the purse-snatcher. With an exhale, she shifts her weight in reverse with full force in a hip check...
Taking both sides of the impact, the thief spun wildly and fell on his back with a skid taking the wind out of him. Eliot approached him and took back the purse, while authorities were close behind and apprehended the suspect. He walked over to one of the policemen and handed him the purse giving a full description of the woman and her location.
"Phew, another day in the busy streets of Tokyo I suppo-" Leo's head began to surge with pain and she grabbed her head while dropping into a crouch.
With a concerned look, Eliot asked, "A-are you okay?"
"Yep, yep I think I'm fine. I'm just, you know, in a bit of a brain freeze here," Leo said but the pain seemed to intensify for her. "Why'd I go ahead and waste that cone in one go! It hurts like hell!" She began to cradle her head.
A ringtone came from his pocket, and in the pain, Leo answered, "Y-yeah?" After only a few words she shot up with urgency and knocked into a pole's walking signal, knocking her into another squatted position of pain. Eliot couldn't help but chuckle in a mixed reaction of laughter and concern, thinking to himself this person must've been where the other impact was coming from while remembering the moment the thief was taken down.
"Hello? Hello-! Leo!" The phone was still in the middle of the call, and Eliot could hear bits and pieces of the conversation.
"Halt! Stop!" The police officer yelled as the thief managed to get away in his handcuffs, immediately starting another chase.
Eliot thought about helping in the pursuit, but Leo being in pain was another cause for concern. Leo motioned for Eliot to come closer quickly so he rushed over to grab the phone and answer, "U-uhm, your friend's hur-" He was interrupted by a prompt, "Leo, stop playing around, get to my manor immediately. Do you remember where it is?" Eliot began, "I-I'm not Le-" "Okay, good, I'll send you the address again so you don't forget like you did last time!" The call ended, and a ping arrived on the cell with an email saying the address and even the global coordinates of the destination with a P.S. reading "Be late again and I'll have your head~3"
Once the pings arrived Eliot looked over to Leo to see her still writhing in pain while giving a face of curiosity. With his sense of responsibility, Eliot hailed a taxi to take them to their destination.
Well, this is my first fanfic what do you all think? I'll be posting more with any tips in mind, until next time! ~
