Valentines Special

Part 2

-Drew's POV-

When I get back from Laurence's idea of training, I make my way tiredly to my room, blinking for longer than normal to stop myself from dozing off.

"Barrone?" I check, closing the door behind me, looking up at him in bed.

The sight of someone else in there makes me drop my bag of weapons in shock. The other person groans tiredly, turning over in the bed to grab Barrone.

"YOU FUCKING MONSTER!" I scream at him. "GET OUT! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU DARE TOUCH HIM SO JUST GET OUT!"

This manages to make both of them stir.

Oh God, has Barrone been spiked again? How sick? The man brought him back here to... How dare he! I'll kill him!

I snarl at the sight of this, reaching for one of the bottles of wine that Laurence leaves for Barrone to smash the man over the head with.

"I'LL GUT YOU LIKE A PIG! I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE! I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN YOU FUCKING FUCK FACED CUNT!" I yell at him, tossing the broken glass bottle to strangle the man.

"DREW!" Barrone warns, grabbing my arm to try to pull me off.

I let go, letting him take out revenge however he wants to, shocked when Barrone strokes the man's hair out of his face tenderly.

"What are you doing? I was only trying to protect you." I ask. "Why aren't you letting me protect you?" I check.

Barrone ignores me and keeps stroking the man's face, quietly reassuring him.

This is a test! I have to prove to Barrone that I'll protect him! Maybe he's still under the effect on whatever drug the man used.

I shove Barrone away, punching the man in the face. "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" I yell at him, picking up a lamp to hit over his head.

The man clutches onto his head with a groan and Barrone screams at me.

"DREW!" He yells, getting out of the bed and pulling on some clothes, yanking me away from the man.

"But Barrone-" I try.

"-Just sit down and be quiet!" He hisses.

I give him a shocked look as he starts to find his first aid kit. I only whimper in protest when he starts treating the wounds on the other man. Barrone completely ignores me, focusing on the man's injury.

"Are you alright, Marco?" He asks softly.

"What-" I whine.

"-Drew, I thought I told you to be quiet!" He warns, softening his expression towards the other man. "I'm so sorry about this, Marco. Drew just has severe trust issues." He adds.

The other man laughs. "He can definitely hit hard." He winces at the pain when Barrone starts applying disinfectant.

"He's a bit of a fighter." Barrone points out. "I'm so sorry about this, I should've warned you."

"A bit of a fighter, no kidding." He chuckles. "Don't worry Cyrus, you couldn't have known."

I just sit there in confusion.

Who is this guy? What is he doing here? Why is Barrone protecting him?

"If there's anything more that I can do to make up for his actions-" Barrone tries.

"You don't need to make it up to me. I had a good time... minus getting hit over the head and beaten up for no reason." He moans.

"You'll be okay, don't worry, I deal with injuries like this all the time." Barrone awkwardly explains, his cheeks heating up in embarrassment.
