Red means I Love You.P

Mk well, This is only a little angsty. Sorry if it isn't written well bc I did NOT proofread this. Have fun 👍🏽 The title has nothing to do with anything, it was just the song that influenced me to continue writing this thing

Dec stomped out a random guy from afar with his friends, only stopping when he realized his boyfriend was walking up. He gave one more ear-splitting stomp to the guy's head and wiped the blood from his knuckles on his pants, "Hey." Pin leaned down and kissed his boyfriend, observing the boys around him. They looked like the type of guys to get straight A's and get home before the street lights came on. So what were they doing beating up this guy?

Pin nudged his boyfriend away from the kiss, his curiosity getting the best of him, "What're you doing beating up this guy?" Dec looked back at the guy and then at his friends. A grin submerged on his face, "No reason. I just felt like kicking somebody's ass today and he was unlucky." Some of the friends, including Dec, burst into laughter. One of the few who weren't laughing nudged the dude on the ground, "Damn Dec, I think you might've knocked the guy out."

Dec raised his eyebrows and went back to the dude on the ground, squatting and checking his pulse. "Well he isn't dead so it doesn't really matter. Lets get outta here before the cops come again." Pin folded his arms, still watching and observing the boys around his boyfriend.

One of the guys pulled up their sleeves, a tattoo showing on his forearm. Pin looked down at Dec and watched him converse with his friends, "Is this what you usually do when I'm not around?" Dec raised an eyebrow but it quickly dropped back down, he chuckled. "Yeah. Sometimes."

Pin cleaned up Dec's knuckles and bandaged them, he flinched and almost jerked his hand back but Pin caught it in time. "Maybe it wouldn't hurt if you weren't going around and beating up random people." Dec rolled his eyes and mocked Pin, "Maybe it wouldn't hurt if- Maybe it wouldn't hurt if you would be gentle!" Pin acted as if he didn't care if it hurt but considered his words and took a more gentle approach.

"It's not healthy yknow. Letting your anger out like this will only get you cuts and bruises, not relief. Even if it's brief.." Pin said, finally finishing up. Dec pulled his hand back quickly, "Whatever man. Thanks for fixing my hand but I'd rather it without the lecture." Dec went to slide off the bathroom counter and Pin grabbed him, "It's not a lecture. I don't want you to end up getting yourself killed with this mess."

They held eye contact before Dec slapped his hand off, "I'd rather just end up dead." Dec slipped slid off the counter and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Pin with a bad taste in his mouth.

Dec laid down on his bed, Pin could scorn him with the way he was scowling down at him. "What." Pin forced Dec to sit up, the tears in his lashline threatening to fall. "You could've died! You went missing for a week after our last conversation! What the fuck Decay?! You told me you'd rather be DEAD and fucking GHOSTED ME! What the fuck is your problem?! I thought you died!" Pin shook and shoved him violently, letting his emotions get the better of him. Letting the fear of another loved one die on him before he had a say.

Dec couldn't react other than a pained sigh. And it was then that Pin noticed how hard he was gripping, pushing, shoving Dec around. It was then he noticed all the bruises, the scars, the blood. He looked like shit. He looked like shit! What the hell was he doing all that time? "Where were you? WHERE!" Dec finally caught up to what was happening. And he didn't like any of it. He shoved Pin, "You don't know anything. I needed to handle something."

Pin was about to lose it and actually put Dec into a chokehold so he'd confess already, "Handle what! Your fucking issues? Because you DO need that under control." Dec backhanded Pin, leaving him stunned for a bit so he spoke fast, "I had to find my mom ASSHOLE. She was on another bender and some guys were being shady near her okay? I had to fucking find her, she was gonna die out there! What the fuck man? Maybe while you were busy playing Mr.BadBoy and KEPT ONE FUCKING PHONE on you at all times and not some shitty burner you'd see my fucking message!"

Dec turned around on his bed and tossed his pillows everywhere, finding his phone. He turned around and threw it into Pin's lap, "You know the password dickhead, go search for yourself."

Pin frowned, he was still upset with him leaving so abruptly and with no backup behind him. "I don't need to. It doesn't even fucking matter! You left without ANYONE! You aren't on your own Mr.Lonewolf. I could've helped you! If anyone could've helped you, it would've been ME." He wasn't a stranger to having to find your mom after she got too high. Pin knew all too well how it felt to search after your Mom when she was quiet for too long, to make sure she wasn't doped up on a stressful day. He knew how it felt like he needed to take care of her, how he needed to be her knight.

Dec put his head in his hands and soon after the sound of sniffling started. Pin didn't waste a second wrapping his arms around his boyfriend and pulling him into his lap. "Can you not make a subtle suicide comment before going MIA?" A groan could be heard before Pin felt a bite on his chest, "You promise to keep a phone on your skinny ass when I tell you something important?" Dec said through sniffles. Pin rolled his eyes and rubbed Dec's back.

They sat in comfortable silence.

"Pin?" Pin leaned back, looking down at his watery-eyed boyfriend who wiped his boogers on his sweater. "Oh gross man, moment ruined!" Pin gets a laugh out of Dec, "I just gave you a reason to stay here longer and get that cleaned be grateful," Pin rolls his eyes playfully, commenting on his how nasty his boogers are. "I just wanted to say, we should totally have sex in my bathroom like right now."

Pin felt his mouth twitch, he was a little surprised, "Dec." He got off his lap and stretched, making a b-line to his bathroom, "You should definitely not take off your sweater and the shirt underneath. You should also definitely not tell me you love me while grabbing my hair with the tightest grip with the back archer combo from the back....which would be over the counter. Don't do ANY of that after I wipe my eyes and clean my face."

Pin watched Dec walk into the bathroom and close the door, the sound of the sink running. He took off his sweater, dropped it onto the floor, and stretched. "Isn't your mom home?" Dec opened the door, "What'd you say?? The faucet is mega loud." Pin walked over, "Isn't your mom home? I thought us doing this when she was here was off limits." Dec wiped the water off his face with his shirt, "Nah, I took her to her sister's house."

Pin hummed, stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind him, "Well, I don't have any protection or anything so.." Dec shrugged, "I'll let you cum inside if you buy the pill, I'm broke right now. Deal?" Pin pulled Dec in as if they were about to dance, "Deal."
