Oscar Delancey♡

A/N - I feel like The Delancey brothers dont get enough love 😞 I need more stories about them if any, anyway! Enjoy!

-Beat for Love-

Man, did y/n feel hopeless. Beaten. Stressed.

Beaten can be taken quite literally as she was literally beat half to death by the two infamous Delancey brothers themselves. If it weren't for her hat falling off and revealing herself as a girl, not a boy, she wouldve guaranteed never made it out of there.

Though.. Her cover was blown and she was most likely going to be taking a nice trip back to the orphanage if the brothers decided to snitch. Which in this case, they most likely will.

What was odd was just after her hat fell off and her braids came loose, she fell unconscious.

The two brothers were standing above her in the alleyway. Unsure what to do.

"We's should go. We just beat up a goil." Morris muttered to his brother, looking at the pitiful excuse of a newsie passed out on the floor.

"We's can't just leaves 'er" Oscar responded, oddly sympathetic for the brother who usually is the one doing all the skull-busting. Morris was shocked that his brother wasn't a total heartless dick.

"You's sayin' we takes 'er back to the lodging house?" Morris spoke, not sure how to react to his brothers sympathy, especially towards a newsie.

"I'se guess.." Oscar shrugged, squatting down to pick y/n up bridal style. He ran a hand through her h/c locks. Almost admiring her as they walked. Sure, he just beat her up, but in his defense she was pretending to be a guy.

His brother looked at him weirdly, "Are you'se actually helping a newsie?" Morris questioned, honestly concerned and confused for his brother.

"She's a goil." Oscar spoke, trying to use the fact that she was a girl as an excuse.

"We'se coulda left 'er, let the otha's find 'er." Morris reasoned, attempting to get a better understanding of why his brother felt so obligated to bring her back to the lodging house.

"That alley was way's too hidden. She woulda died." Oscar mumbled, continuing to walk with her in his arms.

As the two brothers (+ y/n) got to the main sidewalks, they ran into a newsie they knew all too well. Jack Kelly. And clearly Jack was not happy when he saw the two people he hated most carrying one of his fellow newsies all beat up and unconscious.

"Hey! Gets ya's grubby hands off of Shortstuff!" Jack stomped towards the two brothers and tried to be as threatening as possible. Shortstuff was y/n's nickname because, well, she was shorter than average.

Jack shoved Oscar and took y/n into his own arms, Oscar naturally got mad and started to retaliate.

Jack put y/n down carefully and started to throw punches at the brother. A crowd started to form around the two as fists flew and it was a 2 v 1.

A full brawl started to erupt as multiple newsies began to back Jack up, and Davey came along and under Jacks orders, took y/n back to the lodging house.

As soon as she was placed down Specs, one of the many newsies at the lodging house at the time began to fix her up. Bandaging and cleaning wounds she had earned from being beaten by those two assholes. It wasn't until a few hours later she regained consciousness.

"Geez.." y/n hissed in pain as she sat up, holding her head. Her head was throbbing. Probably from her head being smashed into a brick wall multiple times.
