Note: Meme taken from iwantaferret_ . Ferret, if you'd like me to take it down, let me know and I shall. I just figured I'd share the beauty you shared with me.
Also, everyone go read Ferret (and Ash's stories). And other peoples... but seriously, if anyone needs Newsies fic suggestions and suggestions for amazing people in the fandom, I know a lot (and I give lots of suggestions to people as a general thing because I'm asked a lot).

One of the things Spot picked up on very quickly when he started dating Race and Albert was that both of them were victims of abuse.

Unlike Elmer, he didn't come into the relationship knowing their full pasts because he wasn't in the same friend group as them.

Despite this, he still picked it up pretty quickly.

Signs were obvious with both of them.

Race hated taking off his shirt in front of them. He flinched a lot and little things made him think he'd either get in trouble or someone was mad.

Albert apologized a lot for being uncomfortable with certain things, and like Race, he flinched a lot and thought he was in trouble a lot.

After dating them for three months, Spot found out their stories.

He found out about Race's abusive father and his mother's death. He also found out about Albert's abusive ex, and after the ex started appearing more, Jack told him about how the ex had a tendency to try to get Albert back.

Well, Spot was going to make sure that never happened again. However, this proved harder than he thought it would be.

A random day in October
In the kitchen

Albert sat at the kitchen table, sipping his hot chocolate and talking quietly with Spot as they waited for Race and Elmer to get home.

Spot was starting to set stuff up for Race. He wasn't allowed to cook, but Race always appreciated it when he set stuff up.

After a few minutes, the door opened.

Race and Elmer stood in the doorway.

Almost immediately, Spot picked up signs that something had happened.

Elmer looked like he had been crying and he was clinging to Race's hand.

There was a red mark on Race's cheek and his chin. However, he looked far too calm for how shaken up Elmer looked.

Spot's eyebrows furrowed. He looked over at Albert, who had seemed to notice it too. His eyes flicked to Elmer.

Albert nodded, understanding what he was saying. He stood up. "Hey, El, I got a new hoodie," he informed him. "Wanna see it? I think you'll like it."

Elmer nodded. He slowly let go of Race's hand and took Albert's instead.

Albert lead Elmer to the bedroom.
