Sits in a dingy cell in the bowels of the Ministry of Magic as he was kidnapped for his "own good". Seems things between Zero and his boyfriend were not only obvious to those immediately surrounding -not so much at the moment- the couple, and Zero's superiors caught wind of the romance-that-shouldn't-be. He wasn't sure exactly who sent out the orders to bring him in, but Zero reckoned it was Baron, the wizard to whom he reported any and all of the information he gained on Lord Voldemort's movements. That was who he spent the time, not already used up with the longing mutterings of Sebastian's name, cussing out. His boss was the one person Zero wanted to get his hands on right now, of course he wished to have hands on Sebbie too, but that was different, and those thoughts drove him back into the deep, dank darkness of despair, he had to avoid them as much as possible.
It really was an awful sight to see Zero sitting there, his usually impeccably tailored clothing covered in dust, and his normally shiny hair hanging lifeless in his face when typically the man was an absolute sight to behold. There was a shackle and chain locked tightly to his wrist, a feeling he never wanted to experience again thanks to a previous adventure, but at least he knew, or hoped rather that no one was going to kill him here. It gave him some comfort to know he very well might come out of this unscathed... Well almost. His wrist hurt where the shackle rubbed against the sensitive skin, and he had visions of blood pouring out from underneath, though nothing but a little chaffing had occurred.
To put it plainly, Zero was miserable, dirty, heartbroken, and absolutely helpless -they had taken his wand, and the magical bit of parchment given to him by his love so they could secretly correspond- sitting there on the cold stone floor, stuck between the need to hurt someone and sob.*
[it's long, i know, but the next won't be. i just wanted to get the feel for the plot. =] ]

*He made his way to the cell block, which recently had grown in population quite substantially. He felt a little proud to know that he had a hand in this.*
*Today though, he was making a routine visit to a prisoner whom he had merely had locked away as a precautionary measure. He was unsure yet about where the boys loyalty now stood and felt it was too dangerous to have him freely move about the Ministry as he was once entitled, let alone the outside world and the further complications it would bring.*
*He passed the cell block containing the recently captured dangerous Death Eaters and moved into the less populated second block, where Zero had been placed alone, away from the others. Once there he casually strolled to cell 13, and leaned his palms on the bars.*
So boy. Anything to report?

*He sits silently in his cell, elbows propped on the knees he pulled up, and his face in his hands. He was trying to set aside the sudden anxiety that had just overwhelmed him. Pressing the heels of his palms hard into his eyes created bright little stars of light to shine against his closed lids, and he concentrated on them while simultaneously trying to slow down his racing heart.*
*Hears someone approach, but doesn't care. He doesn't even flinch when the unmistakable voice of his boss, Baron Papnoida, reaches his ears.*
*Remains silent for a moment after being addressed, then takes a deep breath.*
*Without raising his face from his hands, he responds flatly.*
It's filthy in here. And, the stench coming from whoever down the way is going to suffocate me.

*He smiled, sharing the joke.*
I'd say it might be the scarred brute we brought in a while ago, but it's more likely that goon Crabbe.
I'll see what I can do about getting some cleaners down here. Can't have our guests unduly suffering can we?
*He stepped back slightly and crossed his arms.*
Look, you know why you're here. It's for your own good.
All this fraternising with the enemy has gone to your head.
I've passed on your assignment to Venus. Let's hope she gets on a bit better than you managed eh?

*Remains still, ignoring the man on the other side of the cell.*
*His heart rate begins to slow some, though he's seething, and wishing he had his wand. What he wouldn't give to hex the arboretum scolding him.*
*Rolls his eyes in the palms of his hands, letting up on the pressure he's been pressing against the lids.*
*Thinks.*
Without Sebastian I will always suffer... Painfully.
*Half listens as Baron continues, but when Venus' name crops up his head immediately snaps up from his hands and he glares coldly with his brilliant green eyes.*
*He didn't believe it. Baron couldn't be that daft.*
*A light, slightly mad chuckle slips through his lips when it hits him that the wizard is completely forthcoming with him.*
You've signed my death certificate that quickly, eh?
*Head tilts as he regains his composure and his eyes narrow, fixing on Baron's.*
She's tried once already you know. You just gave her permission to go ahead and have the job finished for her.
*Slowly he sits up, straightening his legs and bringing his hands to the collar of his crumpled shirt. The chain locked to his wrist rattles as he deftly undid the buttons, opening it so the man could see the few scars left behind from Venus' attack on him in Diagon Alley.*

*Thinking it slightly odd that the boy was stripping for him at first, it was a moment before he noticed the scars.*
Death certificate? You're saying Venus has some sort of vendetta against you?
*He paces a little.*
Can't say I blame her, after what you did. No way to treat a lady that.
*He puts his finger to his chin thoughtfully.*
But I can't have my department after each others heads. I should have a word with her. Probably look into having you holed up somewhere more secret too.

**Casts a Disillusionment Spell, hoping that the moderately weak invisibility spell will at least hide him enough to check to see if Zero is being held here. Sebastian passes by Death Eaters and other trouble makers, staying quiet even when he recognizes one of Gabriel's associates, grimacing at the general state of the cells.**
**Nearly gasps as he sees an older Ministry official talking with his beautiful Zero, who looks absolutely dreadful behind bars.**
**Stays behind an empty cell, shooting green sparks at another area to distract the Ministry worker and also alert to Zero that he is not alone.**
**Thinks.**
Even if I have to come back with help, at least he knows I was here for a moment.

*He notices some green sparks a little further down the corridor, but does not turn to see who might be making them, rather deciding to look like he has not noticed them. He continues talking to Zero.*
Venus has access to these lower areas as you know, so it's only a matter of time before she finds you here.
*He leans his left palm on the cell once more, while his right subtly creeps to his pocket.*
I will make arrangements to have you moved elsewhere, hopefully somewhere a bit more comfortable.
*As quick as his bones allow him, he flicks his wand to the direction of the sparks and yells.*
Incarcerous!

**Not trusting anyone from the Ministry, Sebastian watches the older man carefully as he speaks to Zero, eyes widening as he sees the man reach in his pocket.**
**Thinks.**
Oh, rot!
**Prepares to jump, however ungracefully, and somehow manages to avoid the curse. Now that Baron knows someone is there he knew he had to act quickly.**
**Throws a silver tassel into Zero's cell, a token that he hopes his boyfriend will understand. To Sebastian, it means he knows his situation and will help him soon.**
**Whispers to Baron as he waltzes to the exit.**
Farewell, hideous man.
**Darts off, already preparing a rescue mission for Zero.**

-Continues to glare at Baron, though his posture sags again, his shirt hanging open against his lean frame.-
-Spits disgustedly-
She's mad! No lady... Not any I have ever associated with behaves in such a manner.
I believe it's going to take much more than a word, Sir. Perhaps the next cell over?
-He nodded in the direction of the cell next to his, as amusement certainly chose an odd time to sparkle in his eyes. Or perhaps that could have been the sudden green sparks that ignited down the way.-
-Also ignores the flash of light, as he hasn't a clue it's meant as a signal to him, and chalks it up some Ministry worker having fun with the other inmates.-
-Mumbles-
Anywhere but the Hog's Head....
-Curls the corners of his lips up, as sarcasm fills his voice-
I know the perfect place. She can't reach me there.
-Eyes widen, he has never seen Baron move so quickly, and his sights follow the spell he cast, but it seems whatever mark he was aiming for wasn't there.-
-Tauntingly, he chuckles when something light hits the toe of his dust covered shoe and draws his attention.-
-Catches sight of something silver glinting on the floor just at the side of his right foot where the object had landed. He blinks, focusing his eyes, noticing the trinket is a tassel. A grin flutters on his lips at the sight, and he has this feeling... he isn't alone.-
-Head snaps up, heart beating wildly again and his eyes dart to and fro as he thinks.-
Sebastian...?
-The sudden grin vanishes as quickly as it arrived when he sees nothing, only the other empty cells.-

*He peers into the empty space where he had blasted his spell. Clearly it had missed its mark, but the disturbance seemed to have ceased. Not removing his gaze from the area he continued his conversation with Zero.*
Well, you know what they say. Hell hath no fury and all that.
Look, I don't know what exactly went on between you two, and I don't really think it's my business. What is my business however, is that you two are squabbling and affecting my work.
You can kill each other on your own time, but while you're working for me, I won't have none of it.
*His eyes moved slowly between each corner of the room from where the sparks had been. He could not be sure that the intruder had gone yet.*
I'll look into finding a suitable place to keep you. If you know a 'perfect' place, there's a chance Venus might know it too. And I wouldn't want any Death Eater friends stumbling across you either.
*He finally resigns his wand to his pocket once more.*
In the meantime, I'll have guards posted down here. Seems daft to me that there aren't any already.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*It was some days later when he returned to the cell. He leaned up against the bars, with a thing that looked something like a bracelet in his hand.*
Hey there Zero. Sorry it's taken so long, but we've found you a place.
