Criminals

Okay I literally started this oneshot like a few weeks ago and then I read "cuffed" by ReddieAsthetix and it was sooooo good so definitely go read that :)

Anyway, here's a oneshot for you fools ❤️

TW: angst, (light) smut, derogatory insults, rape, etc.

(Y'all who have followed me for a while know I'm not a big smut writer so I'm really sorry that it's gonna be shit but I want to get out of my comfort zone ig???)

"I herby sentence Edward Kaspbrak to fifteen years in prison for the brutal murder of Patrick Hockstetter." The judge slammed his gavel on the table, putting the determined punishment into effect.

Eddie swore that his heart stopped. He couldn't hear anything but the shrieking of his mother and the pounding of his own heart. The judge made it clear that he was not able to be bailed out until he was two years in prison, so to say the very least, Eddie was already hopeless.

He didn't look at anyone as he was cuffed and dragged out of the room, pulled toward a cop car. Everything was hopeless: Eddie would be brought to the prison of facility two hours from his home, as he was barely eighteen and therefore tried as an adult.

There was no way he would survive; he was a short, frail eighteen year old entering a facility full of real murderers.

Because Eddie wasn't a murderous psychopath. He killed Patrick in self defense, after the latter had followed him home and dragged him to the quarry. It was there that he was taken advantage of and sexually assaulted, until he was able to gain the advantage.

He shoved his attacker over the edge of the dried quarry, where Patrick was torn apart by jagged rocks. Eddie knew Patrick wouldn't make it, and the final blow he landed to Patrick's head was with a heavy boulder the he rolled off the edge of the quarry. The action was out of mercy and sadness, hearing Patrick's pitiful wails, despite the fact that he had raped Eddie no less than ten minutes before.

However, it was viewed as a malicious and murderous act that resulted in a fifteen year sentence.

Eddie felt numb. He didn't look out the windows when they arrived, waiting patiently for the cops to grab him and drag him inside the prison.

It was surprisingly empty inside as Eddie was guided to a cell and handed a grey jumpsuit. He changed clothes quickly, the guard standing outside his cell.

"Where is everyone else?" Eddie asked, noticing how empty it was all around him. Part of him hoped that it would stay that way.

"Lunch. They'll be back here in an hour, so you best catch up with them," the guard said, pointing down the hallway. "Cafeteria's that way."

"Thanks," Eddie mumbled, shaking all over from the nerves he didn't want to deal with.

"Hey, kid?" the officer called, making Eddie turn around, eyebrows furrowed. "I don't think you're all bad. I saw your trial and I believe what you said. Word of advice here: make some friends that can protect you. Someone as young and small as you is an easy target for the real psychopaths here."

Eddie nodded in appreciation, shooting the officer a weak smile. "Thank you," he said, genuineness laced into his voice. With that, he turned and took off toward the cafeteria, constantly looking over his shoulder.

Eddie was immediately overwhelmed as he walked into the cafeteria. It was crowded and people were talking and yelling, but he didn't go unnoticed.
