Quick note: Everyone in the Baker street family calls Ryunoske by his first name now. Or by the already established nicknames.
About two days, twenty minutes and four seconds after returning to Britain, and about two years, three months, a week and two seconds after leaving, Ryunosuke Naruhodo was enjoying a rare moment of peace. Scented candles… a weighted blanket… absolute bliss, if you asked him.
"Oi! 'Oddo!"
"That's the end of that." he sighed, turning around to see Susato, Herlock, Kazuma, Iris, Baron von Zieks, Gina and Rei (she came with them to study English medicine) standing in front of the doorway.. They could not look more serious if the sudden news had come in that Lord Stronghart had escaped from prison.
"What's all this about!?" Ryunosuke asked, as the group spread out into the room. He sprung to his feet, alert.
"Ryunosuke… this is an intervention." Kazuma told him, fixing him with a steely glare.
"Wh-what!?" Ryunosuke's eyes darted to the doorway; Gina was blocking it.
The now twelve-year-old Iris stepped up, giving him her special brand of sad puppy eyes "Runo… you can't keep doing this to yourself."
"It needs to go, Ryunosuke." Susato told him, gravely.
"Not cryptic at all…" groaned Runo "Can someone please tell me what is going on!?"
"I think we must be quite blunt!" announced Sholmes, snapping his fingers "Ryunosuke Naruhodo, I'm afraid you look completely ridiculous!" he jabbed a finger at the offending visage - three flecks - and I do mean flecks - of combined facial hair hanging on the lawyer's face to make a tiny moustache and beard. On some people this would have worked wonderfully - unfortunately, Ryunosuke was not one of them.
"This?" Ryunosuke let out a sigh of relief "I thought this was something serious…"
At that moment, Kazuma drew his sword "Resistance is pointless, my friend."
Knowing all too well reason wouldn't work on these idiots, Ryunosuke made a dash for the window, only for-
"HIIIIIII-YA!"
-Susato to do that. As she pinned him to the ground by his arm, she yelled "Help me hold him!"
As Gina, Herlock, and Barok all came to assist, Kazuma tested his blade on an unfortunate armchair that Ryunoske had been sitting on five minutes ago. "Hold still, my friend."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
*SHING!*
. . .
Cheer up, Runo. Sholmes could have been the one to give you a shave, and we can all imagine how that would go.
Leave a comment and tell me what you think of this fic! I must admit, I wrote it in less than an hour, since I got the basic idea of what was going to happen (largely from B99).
