Maybe this isn't what
he wants...

He returned to chaos.

HBomb had shot and killed a girl after an attack on the precinct. Teddy Meyers. A runaway.

The man felt horrible. He had taken that day off because of Sam; the man wanted to see him but now he thinks it was because he knew of the attack and didn't want him to get injured. Sapnap and Ponk both ran into the precinct side by side only two hours after the attack, they watched as glass and bullets were being cleaned off the floor. Blood from Jimmy and Niki soaked the floor and walls.

Punz had a few grazes and Ant was being treated by a paramedic after suffering a bullet to the shoulder. Red was by his side and he did not look pleased. What a day for both Dream and Eret to be in the next city over.

Puffy was nowhere to be seen, Ponk hearing something along the lines of her going with Niki and Jimmy to the ICU. George was shaken up, Sapnap making the boy some coffee. Scott and CPK were lucky enough to only have a few scratches from the glass and HBomb was shaking. He had been a part of the force for years and never had he shot and killed someone.

Everyone knew he would be let off as it was a provoked attack and he was acting in self-defence but Ponk knew that the guilt would get to the man. The tanned man placed a hand on his partner's shoulder, HBomb giving a weak and pained smile.

The room was completely destroyed. Desks were littered in bullet holes, the floors were cracked and stained, the walls were stained crimson with bullet holes of their own and paper was everywhere.

The officers who were attacked had gathered that there were three people but could only identify two of them. Teddy Meyers and Technoblade Watson. The blade, himself, was out in the open for the first time ever and he decided to attack them. Ponk sighed. Sam knew and saved him from possibly dying today. As much as he felt bad, he was also full of relief. Who knew having a boyfriend on the opposite side of the law would be a good thing?

"Bullet remnants and shells were found on the rooftop across the street-" Scott pointed towards the brick building. It was an older building with a shop on the lower level and apartments above it. "We're looking for fingerprints. Whoever it was must have used the fire escape to get up and use that as their lookout"

"Any more on the girl?" HBomb asked through shaky words. Ponk frowned as Scott sighed sadly, looking like he would regret his next words.

"Teddy Meyers, she ran away with her little sister a few years ago from an abusive household. She must've been picked up from there. It says here that they were responsible for the deaths of Gemini Tay, Fruit legs, Martyn Littlewood, among a lot of others" the Scottish man explained. The death of Martyn was very inconvenient to the officer as he knew Ranboo in his childhood, having been at the same orphanage.

"Fuck..." HBomb groaned into his hands. The blonde man continued to run his hand up and down his partners back as reassurance.

"Don't blame yourself, it was self-defence. They were a bad person-"

"Still had a sister, did she not?" and with that, the older man stood up and left the building. No one tried to stop him, it was clear he needed to cool down.

Scott frowned and Ponk shrugged at the man before making his way away from his co-workers. These past two weeks have been chaotic. After handing Tommy back over to his family, everyone lost a lot of morale and motivation.

Dream and Eret were called to a meeting in the next city over which left Elaina in charge as she was a sergeant in training and knew her way around pretty well thanks to Eret. She, luckily, made it out without a scratch and had managed to pull Niki out of the firing range and into Dreams office so she wouldn't be injured further.

The faint-pink-haired girl wasn't too pleased to be going back to the hospital.

Elaina would deal with Eret and Dream, who were both on their way back to L'Manberg as they spoke. Glass crunched under Ponk's black converse as he made his way out of the room and up the stairs. Anyone who was in the building was downstairs helping clean up the mess that was caused by Techno and his associates.

Ponk reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his phone. He typed in his password and searched through his contacts until he found a certain someone. His finger hovered over the call button but something in his mind stopped him. What was he even going to say?

He let out a sigh and pressed it anyway. Maybe hearing his boyfriend's voice would calm him down a little bit; Sam seemed to have that effect on him. A small smile played at his lips as he brought the device to his ear and waited for the other man to pick up. Hopefully, he wasn't too busy.

The ringing ended, a soothing and relaxed voice flowing out of the phone's speakers. It only caused the man to smile more.

"Ponkie? You okay?" Sam seemed anxious like he was waiting to be yelled at for not telling the man about Techno's plans. He had been expecting it ever since Ponk got the call from Sapnap about the attack.

"Yeah... I-I'm good. Thank you"

"For what-?"

"You saved my life-" Sam let out a confused noise. "-If you hadn't of dragged me away from work for the day I probably would've been injured in that fight so, thank you"

"You're not angry I didn't tell you?" His voice was cautious. Ponk chuckled lightly which only confused the other man more.

"No, I'm not angry. I understand. You don't tell me about your work and I don't tell you about mine, remember?"

"But it was still an attack-" He rushed out, the tanned man cutting him off before he could make himself feel worse.

"Sam" He warned

"Sorry..."

"You're cute" The officer giggled. Sam blushed. Ponk would be the end of him.

"You're cuter"

"Oh my god," Ponk laughed. The green-haired man always had to one-up him and he found that cute. He gathered that Sam felt he had to make up for everything he had done and was trying to be there for the other man because whenever he called, there was always an answer no matter what time it was. "I love you"

"I-... I love you too" Sam's face was now a deep red, he found himself having to get further from Sneeg and Foolish, who were conversing with one another. Sam had been a part of that conversation before the call came through and quickly excused himself.

Ever since the two had begun their secret relationship, the officer had found himself thinking about things he wouldn't have normally and the problem was... he didn't object to them. He debated leaving the precinct to be with Sam, being a guy on the inside for them, and more.

He hated every thought but, yet, loved them. He loved Sam, he had always loved him. From the moment he saw the former warden he was in love with, Ponk never even knew he liked guys as well as women until he met him. When he told his brother about it, he just laughed and told him to go for it.

If he turned to crime... he would have to leave his family behind... his brother would be broken, they were always so close. Fuck... how did he get here and why him?
