Summary
"Aiichiro-sama,” Tadashi protested before he could stop himself. Aiichiro’s eyes settled on him with furious intent.
"Do you have any complaints, Tadashi?" he demanded.
The silence lengthened, taut between the three of them. Tadashi knew what was expected of him, knew what he should be; dogs loyal to the Shindo family did not disobey, after all. And yet, when he saw the tense line of Ainosuke’s back, the words caught in his throat. If he said nothing now, then there would truly be no one by Ainosuke's side. A lifetime ago, he had found a lonely boy crying by the pool house. Tadashi hadn’t turned his back on him then — how could he choose differently now when it mattered just as much?
When Ainosuke's father burns his skateboard, Tadashi chooses to express an opinion. After being fired for his defiance, Tadashi tries to rebuild his life outside of the Shindo family’s influence — however Ainosuke has no plans of letting him go so easily. A DK era AU.
