By the way! This is an AU i created a while back where 3 and 4 are police officers who solve crimes together and I've decided to make a oneshot about it!
———————————————————————
moral of the shot: 3 and 4 are on the rooftop of a giant building, 3 is standing face to face with one of the criminals and 4 is forced to stand there and watch as he too is being held hostage by the other.
———————————————————————
"move and you're dead." the criminal snarled, aiming his gun straight at 3s chest. Smg3 was backed up against the wall, a gun pointing straight at him.
"NO! DON'T SHOOT HIM!" 4 managed to shout before the criminal's partner shot his hand to cover 4s mouth and they had the blue meme guardian in a tight hold, their arm wrapped around his neck in a firm lock. The crease of their arm was pressed hard against 4's throat, keeping him restrained.
"look, we're not here to cause trouble, we just need to ask you two some questions as you two are our main suspects, it's our job. John Collins, lower the weapon and we can talk about this. We know you've committed many murders and we know you won't think twice to commit many more. The interrogation won't take long, so I'll tell you again, lower your weapon." 3 firmly stated, attempting his very best to stay calm despite his growing feelings of panic. He had kept his cool this whole time and had handled the situation with 4 the best that they could yet somehow the criminals were more experienced than they thought and now the meme guardians had messed up. Both held at gunpoint, unable to take control over the situation.
"let us leave, free of charge and never mention this." The criminal who held 4 demanded.
"we're not gonna let you do that." 4 grunted, though his voice muffled and still trying to shake off the criminal.
"who else knows about us?" John asked, staring at 3 with his threatening eyes.
"only us and the head of the police." 3 managed to say, his voice wavered and the tension and trepidation was unmistakable.
"looks like we'll just have to destroy all evidence..." the second culprit admited. "after you, boss." they smirked as the gave a sign to their partner to finally put the bullet in 3. 4 tried his best to shake of their vice-like grasp but it was no use. He watched as they started walking closer to 3 with their weapon aimed straight at him. 3 tried to not act intimidated by pulling out handcuffs as a threat since him and 4 werent allowed to bring guns or any dangerous weapons because they're new to the police crew and they're slightly inexperienced. 4s heart pounded at the situation. With pure adrenaline and determination to save himself and 3, 4 delivered a power kick backwards to the criminal which sent them stumbling back. 4 snatched his gun and cocked the weapon and aimed it straight at John.
"you're gonna let him go, because I won't hesitate to shoot." 4 spat, he was exhausted but the thought of saving 3 from death was more than enough to keep him up and running. 4 had never held a gun before, nevermind shot one. "Your partner here can't save you." 4 placed a foot on the back of John's partner's neck which prevented him from doing anything.
John began to speak confidently with a hint of playfulness in his voice, "Ha, cute. You really think you-"
bang
With one shot of the gun, John dropped dead on the ground. His hands dropped his weapon and he fell back with a loud thud.
"yeah! that's my boyfriend!" 3 cheered as he managed to look at 4 with pure relief and love in his eyes. 4 slightly smiled and lowered the gun in his hand before he ran to his boyfriend and hugged him tightly and a few tears squirmed out although he squeezed his eyes shut. 3 melted into the embrace and held 4 close into his trembling arms.
"baby, you just saved my life. You have no idea how proud I am of you, thank you so much sweetheart." 3 confessed, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Three, I'm going to jail. I'm a murderer." 4 said with his trembling voice, he buried his head into 3s shoulder and held him close as if something terrible would happen if he let him go.
3 cupped 4s face and lifted his head so that their eyes would meet.
"hey, listen to me. You did what you had to, to save our lives. That's not murder, that's love, darling." 3 smiled softly.
"but it is murder, 3. I just killed him and potentially the other one too. I'm going to jail." 4 turned to look at the other criminal who lay lifeless, bleeding.
"you didn't kill them because you wanted to, you killed them because you had to, you saved us both." 3 reassured, but it was clear 4 was still stressing out, he had blood on his hands and he was a murderer. "answer me this, were you in danger?"
4 nodded shyly and avoided eye contact.
"did you shoot them to defend yourself?"
4 nodded again.
"then it's self-defense, and anyway, you didn't plan to kill them, you had to because of the consequences that would happen if you didn't. It's justifiable and I'll do everything I can to stop you from going to prison, okay?"
4 smiled knowing that 3 was right and he could tell how much 3 loved him.
"thanks 3, you're right."
"I should be the one thanking you! You just saved my life! I know you were scared, you were shaking and I know it was hard for you but you did so well. I'm so grateful for you in my life, i love you 4." 3 spoke quietly yet his voice was full of emotion.
4 hugged 3 again and this time, they didn't let go.
"love you too, 3."
