~ Love Always Wins ~ [An FNF Soft mod Story]

// Chapter 2 //

Benjamin turned his head to his ginger boyfriend, who was still knocked out, he was laying by a metal pipe, the men who had taken him had tied him up, not like he'd be able to escape anyway. "Pico!" Ben called out frantically, shaking the ginger lightly. Pico let out a groan from the pain in his head. "Softie..?"

"I-I'm here! Are you okay...?" Ben asked. Pico felt the back of his head, wincing from the instant sting of pain. "I-I think so..." Softie looked scared, "How are we gonna get out of this one, Toughie?"

Pico looked around, noticing a barred window, he knew exactly how. "Untie me." he said. Ben reached behind the ginger and untied the ropes. Pico then picked up a convenient zinc sheet from the floor, standing up, feeling a bit lightheaded, he walked to the barred winder and started to cut away at it.

// Time skip brought to you by my gayness //

Once every bar was cut and the space was big enough for the two to escape, Pico picked up Softie and jumped out, luckily for them, the window wasn't high up from the ground, so they were okay. Pico sighed once he finally realized where they were, "Those bastards... I shoulda known that lady would rat us out." Ben looked up at him, "It's not your fault.."

Pico turned his glance to the bluenette's, "Maybe.. but, you're okay right? They didn't hurt you?" he asked, concern flooding his gaze. "Uhm.." was all Ben replied with, his hand lifted up to his cheek where his mother slapped him, and he remembered how his father grabbed him and dragged him around. Pico gasped silently, "They did hurt you.."

"I-It was just a slap, Pico..! Nothing more!" Ben hated lying to Pico, but it was all he could do so he wouldn't worry about him as much as he already did, this was already stressing him enough. Pico kept his concerned expression and put his hand on Softie's shoulder, "As much as I would still love to put a bullet through your parents heads right now, I think we should get out of here before they notice we left." he looked around for any more guards.

Ben nodded, as they turned and fled the property, heading for their home. They first stopped off at their usual alleyway spot, where they'd go to draw or paint, or even sing a little.. Pico felt a little dizzy, which was the main cause for the stop. He felt the back of his head again, which was still bleeding slightly, blood was left on his hand, Ben took notice of it, which made him genuinely worried, guilt hit him like a bullet, he looked as if he'd cry.

Pico looked at him, going instantly into comfort mode, "H-hey its okay, we'll just get home and take care of it. Please don't cry Softie.. I promise it'll be okay." he said in a soft and gentle tone. Ben sniffled a little, nodding once again. They continue walking again, Pico hoping that he wouldn't pass out as to not worry Benjamin.

They reached their home, walking inside, Pico flopped down on the couch, almost instantly passing out from the blood that escaped his head, speaking of which, had leaked out into his hair, so he fell asleep with bloody hair. It concerned Ben, so he went into the bathroom to fetch the first aid kit, coming back, he bandaged up Pico's head. Softie then sat down next to the couch, just to end up falling asleep.

// Another time skip brought to you by my confusion //

Pico finally woke up, taking a peak at his phone, they'd slept in for quite a bit. He looked down at Softie, who was sound asleep on the floor, he then felt the bandage around his head, and quickly figured out what Ben did for him, he smiled slightly. The ginger sat up, leaning over to pick up the smaller one, he lay the two of them back down, Ben on top of Pico, which hadn't even made Ben wake up. Pico then stuffed his face into the crook of Softie's neck, nuzzling him, which ended up actually making Ben wake up with giggles, "Toughie~ Quit it~!" he whined playfully.
