Editor's note: This story is in the POV of Keith/BF, and I have some head canons that you might not agree with!

Could this night be anymore perfect? Me and my girl, chilling on our speakers by the train track, listening to some chill beats while we admire the stars. The city lights illuminated the street in almost neon hues, the sounds of late night traffic was tuned out in favor of some lofi beats.

The light made my girl look gorgeous. There was something about her that was so stunning, I couldn't tell what. Her dad is an ex-rockstar, and her mom was a pop icon. So, of course, they decided to name her Melody. (I like to call her Mellow or Mel for short, both because of her mellow personality, and because she's soft and sweet...Like a marshmallow!)
The night is young, the air is sweet. Nothing could ruin this moment...

"Well, look who it is! Long time no see, Keith!"
I whipped my head around, only to stare at a familiar face. The way he spoke had such a threatening tone to it, and yet the deep voice stroked a part of my memory that's drowning me in nostalgia.
"Pico? What are you doing here? Why...why do you have your gun?"
He only ever brought that around when he felt unsafe or threatened, it's been years since I last saw that thing.
Mel looked at me with a hesitant gaze, gripping my hand. "Dude, you know this guy?"
His face looks older somehow, maybe it's the more tired eyes...?
"Damn, just like you to not be in the know on how I'm doing. Since you haven't heard, I've gotten into the business of gettin' people MERC'D. And unfortunately for you, someone coughed up the dough for you to be my next target."
Pico? A mercenary? I always knew he was skilled with a gun, but I didn't think his morals were that low to go that far. He has to be fucking with me...right?
"Wait wait wait, someone wants me like, DEADASS dead? What the fuck? There's got to be some misunderstanding. Besides, you wouldn't ACTUALLY kill me, right man?"
The hesitation on his face struck at my heart in a way that caused my face to soften. Did he...really hate me that much?
"Depends, my guy. I remember you always said how your raps were absolute fire. Give me some hot beats and maybe I won't blam your brains into the floor, yeah?"
Shit, he's not playing...Guess I have no choice.
