As tears fell down Mikes face, Derek started coming closer. He still had that devilish smirk on his face as he stared Nico dead in the eye, "you know, I told Mattia I wouldn't kill you but...I'm having second thoughts."

Dereks smirk dropped to a straight face as he came closer and put the gun to Nicos head, "No one touches what's mine." Nico couldn't help but laugh a little. "What's yours? You really think Mike loves you after what you put him through?"

Nico rested against his elbows so he could smirk up at Derek, who had a puzzled look. "What do you mean...?" He side in disbelief as he lowered the gun slightly. "Ask him, ask Mike if he really loves you."

Derek blinked a couple of times, still in shock as he looked to the small crying boy. "Mike...you love me, right?" His voice was shaky but he couldn't tell if it was because of guilt or anger.

"..." Mike just looked down at the ground, "I...don't know." Those words sent Derek over the edge, "you don't know? What the fuck do you mean you don't know!" Mike had never seen Derek get this mad.

Derek then pointed the gun towards Mike as he walked closer, "I asked you a question." He said in a low tone as he pressed the gun against Mikes neck.

"I-" The boy was cut off by the sound of a car pulling up, and Mattia, Kobe, Vallyk, Alejandro and Kairi all got out and ran over to them. "Yo! Derek chill." Kobe said as he pushed Derek away from Mike.

"Watch it. This ain't the time, go home." Derek said as his blood only boiled more, "you just put a gun to Mikes head you fucking psychopath, and you SHOT my brother so we aren't going anywhere until you get your shit together Derek." Mattia said as he glared at him before going to help his brother.

"Your brother deserves more than just a leg wound so, stop whining." Those words sent Mattia over the edge as he turned to Derek and swung without saying another word.

Knocking Derek to the ground, his gun thrown somewhere in the parking lot. But before he could get up Mattia pinned him to the ground while straddling him, digging his fingers into Dereks shoulders.

"Did I ever ONCE mention anything about my brother hurting Mike? No, no I fucking didn't. But if you'd listen to me for once in your life you'd know that. Nico loves Mike, he loves him a little more than me, hell. But the only reason he's doing this is because he doesn't want all of us to die you fucking idiot."

Mattia started panting out of anger as his grip on Derek loosened, "...what do you mean die?" Vallyk said as him and Kobe helped Nico up, who was now unconscious due to lack of blood.

"...our father, isn't the nice man you guys remember from back then. He's twisted, and sick in the head...he wanted to sell Mike, for a lot of money actually. People were bidding on him and he didn't even know it."

Mattia's face softened before it turned into a frown, "our dad made us watch, he made us watch all those people say the most disgusting things about you and what they wanted to do. I wanted to kill every last one of them and so did Nico but, we couldn't."

"And since I was one of your best friends he used that to his advantage, then told Nico to either get Mike, or we all die." Tears formed in Mattia's eyes and his body began to shack.

"It's not his fault he's acting like this...we all know he'd never hurt Mike..." Mattia said as the tears started to fall, and his legs began to quiver. Dereks face softened before he slightly massaged Mattia's hips to calm him down.

(T/N: No- don't think like that👁👁)

"I understand, I'm sorry Dino." He looked up at Mattia with sad puppy eyes as Mattia chuckled at the nickname before whipping away his tears. When Mattia realized when position they were in he quickly got up.

"Gay. Anyways, let's go before the cops get here." Mattia said with a little smile as he helped Derek up, "gay? You're one to talk." Everyone laughed a little.

"We all know Kairi gets dicked down every other day." Mike said with a smirk as he looked over at Kairi who was blushing a dark red, "Shut up." The small boy said in embarrassment.

"AhH fUcK mE dAdDy!" Alejandro mimicked making everyone die of laughter, "stop, you're gonna wake dipshit over there." Kobe said whiles pointing towards his car where Nico was sleeping.

"Alright, let's go. This place is gonna be crawling with police in a minute." Derek said as they all got in the car, kobe pulled off, driving to Mike and Dereks house.

"So, about earlier...when I asked you if you-" Derek was cut off by Mike pressing his soft lips against him, making them both melt into the kiss. They unwilling broke the kiss as they needed to breathe.

"Guess that's a yes." Kairi said while giggling a little, then cuddling onto Mattia's chest. After about 14 minutes of driving they finally get there, "you guys can stay the night, our parents don't get home till next week."

"Bet, I'm tired anyways and I don't feel like dealing with my dad right now." Mattia said as he helped Kobe carry Nico inside. Derek couldn't help but frown as they walked past him, he felt mad about what he did and started to regret it.

But Mattia gave him a reassuring smile as they locked eyes, that made Derek feel a lot better knowing Mattia didn't hate him for what he did. None of them hated him, not even Nico, which he'd soon find out about.

Mike opened the door and they all walked inside, greeted by Brüno, Loki was just laying on the couch. "Take him upstairs to my room, I'll sleep in Dereks room tonight." Mattia and Kobe nodded before taking Nico up stairs.

"Oh sleeping in my room tonight, huh?" Derek said with a smirk as he went to hug Mike but was pushed away, "bath, right now." Mike said whiles pointing up stairs and eyeing Derek blood covered shirt.

They both laughed a little before derek gave in, "alright, but I want my hug when I get out." Mike blushed slightly whiles smiling at Derek as he walked up stairs.

Mike let out a sigh of relief, everything was back to normal. Well, kinda.
