Title: Family Obligations, Chapter 14
Author: AngiePen
Fandom: Celebrity RPS
Pairing: Orlando Bloom/Sean Bean
Rating: R
Challenge: AU Orlibean. Sean is hired to kidnap Orlando who he assumes is a spoiled rich kid who turns out to be anything but, when the ransom isn't paid the order comes down for Sean to kill him. It's a race against time to get them both to safety. Written for amygirl's request at the_challenger.
Summary: Sean's little brother has a taste for the ponies but no talent when it comes to choosing winners, and owes a local gangster a lot more money than he can come up with. Sean agrees to do an "easy job" in payment of the debt -- kidnapping a spoiled young punk named Bloom and hanging on to him while the gangster gets a ransom from the lad's family. It should've been a simple job, but then things started to get complicated.

Sean was on his way back to the drawing room, having declined the emergency operator's "suggestion" that he stay on the line when he heard Orlando shouting. He made sure she knew where to send the ambulance, then hung up and jogged back down the hall just in time for Orlando to come charging out of the drawing room and run smack into him.

Orlando yelped, "No, don't!" and took a reflexive step forward, then made a hasty reverse and practically jumped into the middle of the room, exactly where the gun had been pointing just a few moments earlier.

Once they were alone, Orlando went from stiff with anger to an exhausted-looking slump, as though he'd expended all his energy arguing with his cousin and maintaining his in-control face and had finally realized he was at the bottom of his tank. He turned and leaned against Sean with a heavy thud. Sean had his arms around him and was guiding him back toward the sofa without conscious thought.

He was feeling a mite wrung out too, truth to tell. They'd both been under a hellish stress for the last couple of days -- and bugger all if it didn't feel like a couple of weeks -- and although they weren't out of it yet, not hardly, they were finally at a point where they'd nothing that needed doing, nothing to look out for, no gangsters with guns hiding behind the furniture nor creeping up just outside the windows. They were fed and safe and sitting on a chunk of empty time and the first instinct Sean had was to take a nap because he felt pretty much like Orlando looked.

Orlando seemed to have another instinct, though, because moments after Sean had them settled back on the sofa he found himself entwined in a tangle of once-more-tense limbs and with a shaking young man all but in his lap.

It was nearly three hours later when they pulled up before a wrought iron gate leading into what appeared to be a nice little estate just outside Altonscroft, from what Sean could see through the shrubberies planted alongside the iron fence. He still wasn't completely sure this was a good idea but he'd said he'd go along with it and he would. He'd keep an eye on this Cousin William, too, and be ready to haul Orlando out of there in a blink if necessary and flatten anyone who tried to get in their way.

Sean rolled down the window and punched the green button on the intercom. A few moments later a tinny male voice said, "May I help you?"

Orlando crawled half over Sean's lap and yelled, "Wills! It's Orlando! Let us in!"

Sean woke up around dawn to the sound of a couple of birds shrieking at each other outside the bedroom window. The light in the room was dim and hazy, as though it were clouded over outside or even foggy. His right half was just about chilly enough to bear that out, but his left side was toasty to the point of sweating.

He turned his head and squinted to the left. Orlando's face was burrowed into his pillow with only the dark, messy waves of his hair showing. There was barely a handspan of space between them, a closed-off bubble of warm air under the covers where their shared body heat had collected.

Sean snapped his phone shut and restrained himself from putting a fist through the wall.

He'd managed to persuade Merriwether that a lock of hair and a piece of jewelry would do for a first threat but when the bastard had hung up on him he'd been left wondering whether it'd actually been his persuasion that'd done the trick or whether Merriwether'd been playing Sean for some reason of his own. His dinner sat in his belly like a stone and threatened to make a reappearance. He sat down on the toilet and rested his face in his hands.

Notes: Happy Birthday, Amy! :D



Sean had found himself in a few dodgy situations before, there was no denying it. He'd done a few things that wouldn't stand much scrutiny and even a few things he didn't care to remember himself. A man had to get by and take care of his family and his mates and sometimes he just had to do something and then get on with his business.

This'd seemed like an easy job, though, and a way out of a rough spot. When Jack Merriwether had suggested it -- although mayhap "suggested" wasn't quite the right word, but still -- Sean'd been relieved, actually. Merriwether could be a right bastard and it could've been a lot worse, yeah?
