Disclaimer: I do not own Special A, or Totally Spies
To prevent confusion as a guest suggested I do, I'll give a brief description as to what is going on.
Despite being 17 both Tadashi and Ryuu are secret agents, spies if you will, that work for WOOHP (World Organization Of Human Protection, from totally spies) It's February and Valentine's Day is just around the corner but the two boys have been pulling all nighter missions for more than two weeks so Ryuu & Tadashi are both tired and they still need to prepare their gifts for their girlfriends and the Valentine's Day ball that will be hosted by the SA in the school greenhouse on said holiday. However, as time passes and holiday of love draws nearer Akira's been more and more aggressive and violent towards Tadashi sometimes leaving scars or just plain verbal abuse, but Tadashi endures it because he loves her. His secret agent boss (with secrets of his own) as well as his girlfriend upon Tadashi and Ryuu's request have joined the SA for awhile and they really spice things up and try to maintain the peace as much as possible. But Tadashi's doesn't like getting hurt (he only said that to Akira to prevent her from feeling guilty and starting a relationship with her) and made fun of by most of friends especially Kei, Akira, and Yahiro so he feels upset at times but once again he continues to endure. But exactly how long can Tadashi hold all this frustration in, he has his limits, Tadashi has his breaking point.
On with the story!
Tadashi's Breaking Point
BOOM!
Went the 10 story warehouse abandoned by their previous owners who are now being sent to jail, as they were world renown international criminals wanted by the FBI, MI6, and every other government in the world.
I pulled off my black ski mask which covered my handsome features as I turned to my partner and best friend, Ryuu Tsuji.
"Nice job, Tsuji! I can't believe how quick you beat up twenty of those goons and still tamed the angry alligators that were about to devour us!"
"Mhm…" Ryuu spoke with his mask still on.
"Ryuu could you take the mask off…" I questioned dumbly, I mean does he plan on taking it off this century?
Ryuu took off his ski mask unveiling his perfectly pale skin further complimented with moss green hair and eyes to match along with a sheepish smile, handsome in his own right.
"Yeah, I was taking off my mask Tadashi, it just got stuck…and what I was trying to say was that you were awesome too, you were able to trace back the microchips those villans used to bug us in order to locate their hideout!" Ryuu praised with an encouraging smile.
Ryuu really was the best friend a guy could ask for, sure, I was best friends with the entire SA plus Yahiro, Sakura, and Finn, but Ryuu was the only one who'd tend to any fatal blows delivered by my girlfriend, Akira Toudou or lethal wounds bestowed upon me by the one and only Kei Takishima, another one of my 'best' friends.
He's always there for me and even on missions, Ryuu makes sure to save my ass from any real harm and I appreciate that; just being able to know that there's someone who actually cares about my well-being as person. And when I can't even say the same thing about my mother who gave birth to me…it really is just good to have someone who cares.
"Thanks man, you're really nifty yourself." I lamely complimented back.
Ryuu chuckled, "In that case, Tadashi, you're a pretty spiffy youngster too."
I snorted in response to his comment, as I tried to stifle a laugh. Ryuu is so himself some…actually, like all the time.
Ryuu smirked, "Do it or else…"
"Never Tsuji!"
In all honesty I don't even know what Ryuu wanted me to do but 'ma gut told me to rebel against his demand so I did.
"Do it!" He commanded.
"You'll never take me alive Copper!" I said badly impersonating a bank robber.
"Or else!"
Ryuu frowned at me and cracked his knuckles; all of a sudden, he omitted a threatening aura.
"Wait a sec, Tsuji let's not get hostile…" I pleaded as his presence became more menacing.
He only approached at sickeningly slow pace, arms extended, ready to strike.
I held my breath and closed my eyes in anticipation since bracing a beating was nothing new to me or my expendable limbs, I didn't bother trying to figure out what I had done wrong since I had grown so accustomed to such unexplained punishments; plus this was Ryuu, he never gets mad at anyone let alone strikes them so if he's gonna hit me I must actually deserve it unlike all those other times Akira or Kei torment and physically abused me.
I felt Ryuu's hands swiftly brush up and down my sides…
Ryuu was tickling me!
"Is—this—what 'or else' means—Ryuu?!" I asked between pants of laughter.
"Yup." Ryuu said popping the 'p'.
"I saw you trying not to laugh so of course I had to help you laugh; why wouldn't I try to help my best friend smile, you don't think I'd try to cause you harm, do you?"
"Yeah, sorry I shouldn't have doubted you, Ryuu." I apologized, "When it comes to harming I've already got Kei, Akira, and my mother to take care of that department." I muttered to myself.
"Well then maybe you stop being so—" I interrupted.
"Stop being so what?" I questioned only slightly irritated because we've had this conversation so many times after the puppet fiasco a while back.
"Just tell them you don't like it." Ryuu advised wisely as usual, he was always quite mature which most people would find especially unusual, considering that, he's a teenaged high school boy.
"I can't tell them I don't like it after all, I'm the comic relief…" I chuckled bitterly.
"Nani, umm…pardon me but what do you mean you're the comic relief?!" Ryuu asked me puzzled and shocked as to how I'd identify myself as such a thing that's usually seen in animes or cartoons.
"What I mean is that I am: The inclusion of a humorous character, scene, or witty dialogue in an otherwise serious work, often to relieve emotional or other forms tension via comic episode interposed in the midst of serious or tragic elements in a drama. Comic relief often takes the form of a bumbling, wisecracking sidekick of the hero or villain in a work of fiction. A sidekick used for comic relief will usually comment on the absurdity of the hero's situation and make comments that would be inappropriate for a character who is to be taken seriously. Other characters may use comic relief as a means to irritate others or keep themselves confident."
"…"
"Yes I just so happen to know a lot about comic relief okay!"
"…"
Ryuu remained silent, still awestruck by my questionable amount of vast knowledge I seem to have when it comes to all things comic relief related.
I heard many other explosions on a smaller scale than the initial combustion of that abandoned warehouse.
They had set up so many bombs to kill us with that there will still large clouds of smoke behind us.
"Hey! Earth to Ryuu…uh are you ok—!"
My green haired pal tackled me to the ground.
"What was that for?!" I questioned in surprise.
How could he go from not saying anything to tackling me all of a sudden?
"There was debris flying towards your head at about 107 miles per hour that was composed of ash, ember, and cinderblocks, which would have been enough to either put you into a coma, give you severe brain damage, or an instant kill if it were to make direct contact with your nervous system or vertebrae column."
"…"
It was my turn to be silent, how could I not have noticed the debris and have been that close to death it literally knocked on my door step, wiped its feet on my doormat, and found a spare key!
I reacted the only way I knew how to…
"Thanks a gazillion for saving my life Ryuu!"
I sprang onto him and enveloped him in a bear hug and squeezed him tight, he just saved my life for like the 17th time tonight.
"You really are the best friend a guy could ever ask for!" I praised with tears threatening to fall from my eyes.
"No problem Tadashi, you would've done the same for me." He smiled in response to my overzealous but sincere thanks.
I smiled back at Ryuu, it's the truth I'd risk my life for his any and every day of the week and he knows it.
