Fics like The Shredded Remains of a Certificate

Staring at the shredded remains of the certificate he'd been so proud to be receiving less than a second ago, Genya can still hear the echoes of his older brother's words as he'd stormed the stage before leaving in the same way - careless of the carnage he left in his wake. It's not long before he's being ushered off the stage with the promise of a new certificate being shipped to him. He doesn't want to go back to his seat - doesn't want to go back to the endless stares boring into his face. He starts walking - then, when the tears come, running. He sprints until he's breathless. He dodges other pedestrians and runs across cross-walks when it's not his turn, desperate to get away from the pain and hurt. He runs until his legs hurt. Runs until his legs give out. Keeps going until he's suddenly on a bus and then getting off at some sea-side village. He doesn't stop running until there's sand under his shoes. Until he sees waves lapping at the shore and a picturesque sunset. AKA: Genya runs away without a word after Sanemi rips up his shooting award instead of going home - running away from his brother for the first time in his entire life.
