They are murderers?! (Sander Sides au)

"That 'Prince' just gets on my nerves!" Damian rants to his friends. "Babes. Calm down." Remy says while also agitated at the prince like male. "Who wants to bet that my brother is also fuming about Dee?" Remus asks while smirking at his friends jealousy.

"$10!" Virgil exclaims while trying to hold back a laugh himself. "Deal!" Remus says while shaking Virgil's hand, striking a fake deal. "Guys!" Damian says while waving his hands around. "Okay but we can all agree that that prince dude is hella annoying!" Remy states. "Agreed!" Damian huffs. "Hell yeah. My brother is soo fucking annoying!" Remus says. "As much as the dude can be fun to debate with about Disney, he can be pretty annoying." Virgil agreed. "Well I wouldn't say that he's annoying.." Emile starts but is cut off by his boyfriend, Remy. "Babes. I get that you're nice and all. But the guy is a total prick!" he exclaims before drinking the last bit of coffee that was in his cup. "Okay yes. But! He is still fun to be around." Emile argues. "Sometimes." Virgil states while flicking a wadded up paper at Damian.

"Sometimes I wonder why I'm friends with you." Damian says while throwing the paper back at Virgil. "Oh hush. You know you love me." he retorts back while playfully hitting him. "Whatever." the other teen mumbled while looking away.

If only you knew..

"Let's go out! To get food or the movies!" Remus says while standing up. "Sure!" Emile says while also standing up. "Sure babes." Remy shrugs before standing up and rapping his right arm around Emile's waist. "Anything Emile wants." Remy teases before pulling the shorter male into a long and passionate kiss.

"Ew! Non of that shit!" Virgil says while turning away pretending to be disgusted. Remus just laughs while Damian just stands there feeling even lonelier. "Damn. Trying to make us a bunch of third wheels?" Virgil teases. "Actually i'm more of a fifth wheel since you and Dee are constantly flirting." Remus retorts.

Damian quickly turns away blushing like crazy. Virgil just walks over to Damian and pulls towards him. Before you couldn't tell which one is taller. But when Damian looks up at the taller male, he shrinks down slightly. "Damn Dee, didn't know you were so submissive." Remy teases. Damian just turns an even darker shade of red.

"Aww. Is the bad boy blushing?" Virgil teases. "S-stop." Damian says while trying to hide his face. "Aww. But I don't wanna." Virgil says while lifting up Dee's head. Virgil smirks and leans in ready to kiss the smaller male.

That is until his phone rings.

Virgil pulls back and reaches for his phone. He pulls it out and answers. "Yo?"

"Hey! By the way dude, St. Bernard wanted to know if you were coming tomorrow to skate."

"Yeah i'll be there. Tell them that I might come later then our usual time though."

"Kay. Bye man."

"Peace Jay."

"Who's that?" Emile asks. "Just someone I skate with." Virgil explains while slipping his phone back into his pocket. "Now, do I get to continue?" Virgil asks while smirking. Damian quickly hides his face and stutters out, "N-no."

Virgil just huffed before letting go. Damian instantly missed the contact. He forgot how touch starved he gets at times. "Now that you four are done, can we go get some food? I'm fucking starving!" Remus states while getting up from the couch in Damian's apartment. "Hey! No cursing!" Emile scolds. "Yeah yeah. Now let's go!" Remus says while heading towards the door. "You heard him. Let's go!" Virgil says while following him.

The other three just stared before following also.

With Roman, Patton, Logan, and Ash.

"Alright so what is it that ya want?" Ash says while playing with his food. "We wanted your help taking down someone. But are you okay?" Logan explains while looking kinda worry. Only then could he realise that Ash had gotten skinnier. Skinnier then before, which is saying something since he was already really skinny. The other two caught on to what Logan had noticed. The three boys had also noticed the dark circles under his eyes. They weren't as noticeable before. They started scanning his facial features.

There are more noticeable freckles, his eyes are dark, teeth whiter and straighter but there is one missing, a bandaid on his right cheek and a small bruise on his left cheek/jaw. "Ash.. What happened?" Patton asked softly. "Oh, nothing really. Just the usual haha. Anyways, what's the code?" Ash asks avoiding the three boys' eyes. "#5363. Are you sure you're okay?" Logan answers with concern written all over him. "Oh. You're after that guy again?" Ash asks still avoiding the question.

"Yeah. But answer the question." Roman says. "I think I can help you out with that. Just give me a little bit to make sure. Also, can I have the file? It will definitely help me out." they ask while setting down their fork and taking a drink of their water.

"Of course. Ash? Are you still with that jerk?" Roman asks getting slightly defensive of his little 'sibling'. "Okay cool! Welp i've gotta go! Cya!" Ash says while pretending to get a message. He places a twenty on the table and dashed out the door.

"Okay now i'm concerned." Patton says while looking at his friend's barely touched meal. "Let's call him later and ask. Right now we need to get the file for him." Logan says while also very worried. Ash was like their kid in a way. They raised him more then his parents did.

"I hope he is actually okay and isn't with that jerk. He's a total cheater!" Logan exclaims letting out his worry now. They all shudder at the memory of finding out about Ash's abusive boyfriend.

Ash had fumbled with his phone as tears threatened to fall. He quickly hit one of his emergency contacts and called them.

"Hello?" Logan asked. "L-l-logan. I n-need your help. P-please." Ash begs while starting to cry. "Are you at your house?" Logan asks while what sounds like him getting into his car. "Y-yes." Ash mumbled. "Alright. I'm going to call Patton and Roman. I'm going to be there real soon okay? Can you try to breathe for me?" Logan asks while silently begging that Ash isn't hurt.

"Yeah." Ash says while trying to steady his breathing. "I'm almost there okay? I'm going to hang up and let the other two know okay? Can you unlock your front door for me?" Logan asks. Ash mumbled a quick yes before getting up and unlocking the door. "I'll be there in a couple of minutes okay? Try to steady your breathing." Logan says. Ash hung up knowing that Logan is almost there.

A couple of minutes later, Ash hears the front door open. He hears foot steps heading towards him. "Hey. Ash. Is it okay if I touch you?" Logan asks softly as he sits down next to the smaller teen. He nods and let's Logan come closer.

Logan scoots closet and holds out his arms for a hug. Ash quickly took the opportunity, throwing himself into the taller boy's arms. Ash then let all of the tears fall. They just sat there. Logan humming softly while rocking Ash holding him. After 10 minutes of that, they hear the front door open again. They then heard two familiar voices.

Just then Roman and Patton rushes over sitting next to, and squatting across from the youngest. After a good hour of wash just crying and the others sitting there comforting him, he eventually had his crying under control to only sniffles.

"I'm s-sorry." Ash apologises. "No, no. Kiddo it's okay. There is nothing to apologize for. And you don't have to talk about it until you're ready." Patton reassures the younger boy. "Thanks g-guys." Ash says while smiling softly. "Of course! Anything for our good friend!" Roman exclaims while giving a reassuring smile.

Turns out that his boyfriend was the one that caused the episode. When the three killers found that out. They were furious. They didn't do anything since Ash convinces them not to. Though if they found out that the bruise is from that bastard, they are going to go nuts.

They all shake their heads to try and clear their thoughts. They finish eating and pay, not using the twenty that Ash gave. They planned on giving that back actually. They got up and walked out of the restaurant, and made their way back home.

Let's hope that that bastard didn't do that. Or else he won't be breathing for very long.

The three boys all thought at the same time.
