Victor: "You ok? I know that was probably hard for you..to see him."

Crip: "I'm ok. I just can't believe he forgives me...I'm the reason his friend got killed.."

Victor turns the heat up slightly in the vehicle, cold rain pouring from the sky and onto the windshield.

Victor: "No birdy..Jameson got himself killed..he was snooping, even after I warned him..it was his doing, not yours."

Crip looks to the floorboard, feeling warm and cozy, not just from the heat but also from Victor. He was trying to comfort him..even if what he's saying isn't true.

Crip: "That day..what'd you say to Jameson to stop him from trying to arrest me again?"

Victor let's out a soft, nervous laugh, rubbing the back of his bald head.

Victor: "Aha..I uh..I told him you were with me. It got him off your back, for a while, but he must've really wanted to take O'Riley and the rest of the bunch down...Still..if he'd kidnapped you, and I found out, I would've killed him myself for fucking with you after I told him to back off."

Crip: "He did it to protect me from other cops.."

Victor: "Regardless. He should've told me so I could come get you. Not take matters into his own hands."

Crip looks down yet again. Victor was so 'matter-of-fact' about the whole thing..but that's just how Victor was when he doesn't care about the person. He cared for Crip. That's why he defends him so much.

Victor: "Did...those two guys say anything about me?"

That came out of no where.

Crip: "Donny and Shorty?"

Victor: "Yeah.."

Oh shit...if he wanted Crip to know he would've told him..he can't just say he knows his past now.

Crip: "They just said they knew you. They knew O'Riley too.."

Victor: "I'm sorry..he won't ever get the chance to hurt again. I promise."

Crip smiles slightly. Victor was cute like this. Speaking so softly, and so bravely. In Crips eyes, Victor could probably do anything. He was so strong..

Crip looks up, and notices Victor staring out of the corner of his eye before returning his gaze to the road.

Victor: "You shouldn't smile like that you know. It's too cute, and I'm holding back."

Crip: "Holding back? What does that mean?"

Victor: "I've been holding back from touching you."

Crip: "W-why?.."

Victor: "Because I figured you'd be a little on-edge. Seeing as you've never just been with one guy before."

Crip looks at the floor again, speaking in an even tone.

Crip: "Actually being with only you has made me want it more."

The vehicle jerks, and Crip glances out the window, seeing they've gotten off an exit and are headed towards a wooded area. A large park maybe?

He doesn't speak, mostly because he knows what he's done..but it was true. Being with Victor..belonging to Victor, only made this desire stronger to get his affection.

All of it.

They pull into the park, following a road deep into the woods, until they're on a hill. The rain was still tapping on the windshield, and the moon lit everything up inside the car.

Then Victor puts it in park, and those blue eyes are almost glowing as he looks into Crips eyes.

Victor: "Then let me satisfy your needs, hm?"

((I will be changing the cover photo of this book to Crip and Victor once I get around to drawing them. Also a new side book about Donny and Shortys storyline will be out soon! Thank you all for reading this book. I know it's long and is random 🤣 but I really appreciate the support 🥺♥️ ))
