"WRITE ABOUT A CHARACTER WHO WAS BANISHED FROM THEIR WORLD."

DUNNO WHY BUT THE ORIGINAL PROMPT WAS ALL CAPS TOO

KINDA BASED OFF THE STORYLINE IN WHAT I'M WORKING ON BUT HAVEN'T POSTED YET

BUT LOL AT THE SAME TIME IT'S ALSO FROM MCR'S MAMA

VVV GOOD SONG

"SHE SAID..." EDGE STARTS, UNABLE TO DRAG HIS EYES AWAY FROM THE GROUND. "SHE SAID, 'YOU AIN'T NO SON OF MINE...'"

HE CAN REMEMBER IT CLEARLY, BOTH TIMES SHE SAID IT.

THE FIRST WAS AS A CHILD, THE FIRST TIME SHE HIT HIM. THE SECOND WAS AS HE WATCHED THE LIFE DRAIN OUT OF HER.

THAT SECOND TIME, SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TELL HIM THE REST, NOT LIKE THE FIRST, BUT IT WAS IMPLIED.

TEARS THREATEN BEHIND HIS EYES AS HE STUMBLES FOR THE WORDS SHE SCARRED HIM WITH.

"SHE SAID, 'YOU AIN'T NO SON OF MINE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. THEY'RE GONNA FIND A PLACE FOR YOU," HE CAN'T HOLD BACK HIS TEARS ANY LONGER. "AND JUST YOU MIND YOUR MANNERS WHEN YOU GO.'"

LANCER LISTENS IN SILENCE, BUT NOW OPENS HIS ARMS AND WRAPS THE SOBBING GINGER INTO A TIGHT HUG. "I'M SO SORRY..."

EDGE ONLY CRIES HARDER AT THIS, WHISPERING THE END OF HER MESSAGE IN LANCER'S EAR. "'AND WHEN YOU GO, DON'T RETURN TO ME, MY LOVE.'"

"HOW COULD SHE SAY THAT?" LANCER GROWLS. "HOW COULD SHE DISOWN YOU LIKE THAT AND HAVE THE SHIT TO CALL YOU HER LOVE?"

EDGE IS A WRECK, HIS WAILS FILLING THE ROOM. LANCER RUBS HIS BACK, SENSING THE GINGER HAS AN ANSWER.

EDGE FINALLY CALMS HIMSELF ENOUGH TO SPEAK. "SHE STILL HAD HOPE FOR ME, THAT IT WASN'T TRUE. THAT I..." HE SHAKES HIS HEAD. "I BROKE HER HEART. IF SHE WERE MORE UNDERSTANDING, SHE'D ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON. BUT SHE DIDN'T. MY FATHER WAS MORE FURIOUS. IT WASN'T EVEN JUST THAT TURNING THEM AGAINST ME. I FUCKED UP HORRIBLY, FOR EVERYONE AND JEOPARDIZED THE MAFIA."

LANCER CRADLES EDGE'S TREMBLING BODY, KISSING AWAY HIS TEARS.

"I LOVED HER TO THE VERY END. AFTER EVERYTHING I DID TOO, I STILL LOVED HER. AND I THINK SHE LOVED ME TOO, EVEN IF ONLY THE SMALLEST BIT."

LANCER EMITS A SMALL GASP, HOLDING THE ONE IN HIS ARMS CLOSER, MORTIFIED BY THE DEEDS THAT HAD BEEN DONE.

EDGE SITS UP, TEARS STILL RUNNING DOWN HIS CHEEKS, AND PRESSES A SOFT, SWEET KISS TO LANCER'S LIPS.

HE NEEDS THE COMFORT, AND LANCER DELIVERS WITH EQUALLY EXPRESSED GENTLENESS. HE WRAPS HIS ARM AROUND EDGE'S WAIST, USING HIS FREE HAND TO RUN THROUGH THE BOY'S HAIR.

UPON PULLING AWAY, EDGE WHIMPERS, RETREATING TO CURL UP IN LANCER'S ARMS, BURYING HIS FACE IN THE OLDER'S CHEST.

SEVERAL MOMENTS PASS AS EDGE CALMS DOWN, LANCER CONTINUING TO RUB HIS BACK.

FINALLY, EDGE STANDS, LOOKING UP AT THE CEILING AS IF HE CAN SEE PAST IT WITH A LOOK OF DETERMINATION SET ON HIS FACE.

LANCER JOINS HIM IN STANDING, SURPRISED AS EDGE SEARCHES FOR HIS HAND. THEIR FINGERS INTERLOCK AND EDGE YELLS AT FIRST THE HEAVENS, THEN THE HELLS BENEATH:

"MAMA, WE ALL GO TO HELL."


THIS IS ACTUALLY FAIRLY SERIOUS BUT IT COMES OFF COMICAL THANKS TO BEING WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS

IT'S SOUNDS LIKE I'M SO ANGRY
