* Bang! *

The gun went off, shooting the target right at the middle. “ Bullseye. “ Skid mumbled, reloading his firearm. Pump stood behind him, glancing around every few seconds to watch for anyone who would try and hurt the two young kids. Their only source of defense was a Browning Hi-power semi-automatic Pistol Skid had gotten from Ms Lila’s house. The gun uses rounds of 13-15 7.65×21mm Parabellum bullets. It can shoot to around 50 m (54.7 yd). Yeah, it would work, but it’s two kids, barely out of 3rd grade against adults who know what they are doing and have a lot of experience fighting.

”… what do we do if someone does try to hurt us? “ Pump asked Skid, concerned. The hospital won’t help them if they got hurt… “ Blood bath. I’m sure we will be fine. If anyone does try, we’ll just shoot them. “ Skid smiled reassuringly to his friend, Pump, who calls himself Blood bath. “… ok Crybaby.” Blood bath hugged Skid, who is also known as Crybaby. Crybaby sighed and put away his weapon. “ Let’s go home. I don’t want Gore and Wrath to hurt us again… “ Crybaby frowned a bit. Gore and Wrath… his Ross and Robert… they never wanted anything more than to hurt him and blood bath and see them cry…

“ Yeah… let’s go. “ Blood bath grabbed Crybaby’s arm and lead him home, to Ms Lila’s house. They entered their home and crept upstairs, they didn’t wanna alarm Lila at this time of night that they were out… they made it to Crybaby’s room and walked in carefully, closing the door behind them and getting into Crybaby’s bed quietly. “ Good night, Crybaby. “ Blood bath whispered, curled under the covers and trying to sleep, he had to deal with his boyfriend, Hunter, and his screaming constantly for everything ever in the morning...

Crybaby cuddled up with blood bath and kissed him on the cheek. “ Good night. “

Before the two boys knew it, it was morning, and it was raining. How upsetting. The boys can’t go on their usual walk, because ms Lila fears they will get sick in the rain.

“ But mooom- “ Crybaby whined. He knew it would be a bad decision, yet he wanted to go so badly. “ no buts, Hon. We’ve talked about this! “ Lila was beginning to loose her patience. He had only asked twice, but still it angered her very much. “… Can we go play in the basement? “ Blood bath suggested out of the blue. “ hmm. Fine. Just don’t bother me. I’m trying to board the windows again and fix the lock on the door before tonight. “ Lila said, beginning to walk off, presumably to the windows to board them. “ Why board them tonight? “ Crybaby questioned. Their neighborhood was relatively peaceful, other than the few fights and … and the fact Gore and Wrath lived there. Constantly hearing screaming from their house. Most likely whomever they chose as their victim of the night. Most the time it was hunter screaming and crying.

” People are planning to go on a killing spree here. I’d rather have a ruined house than my child be dead, along with his friend. “ Lila said, raising one of the wooden boards to the window and nailing it in. “ oh. Ok mommy. “ Crybaby had always been calm in these situations.

“ You two go play, I’ll see you up in time for dinner. “ Lila said, beginning to the second board. “ Ok mom. Love you! “ Crybaby said, walking off with blood bath. “ Bye Ms Lila! “ Blood bath said, waving as he and Crybaby walked down the steps of the basement. “ Bye boys! Be careful down there! “

The basement was dark and dry. It smelled of rotting flesh. Disgusting. Crybaby reached for the light, flipping the switch. “ There is no more electricity in the city, remember? “ Blood bath reminded his friend of their living situation. “ Oh yeah… “ Crybaby reached around until finding a flashlight and flicking it on. The two scanned the room. They have been working on making it a little lounge area for a bit. There was a dirty white rug under two beanbags, both beanbags were old and ruined. One was black, the other was like green. There was a half melted candle on a coffee table that was missing a leg. The table was dark oak wood and had a glass center.

Blood bath walked behind one of the Chairs and opened a broken mini fridge. It was pink and had several cute stickers. There were a few cans of warm sodas inside with a container of melted ice cream. Blood bath grabbed two of the warm soda cans and got into one of the chairs, crybaby going into the other. Blood bath handed his friend one.

” … It’s so weird. “ Crybaby thought aloud. “ what is? “ Blood bath asked, opening his soda can and taking a sip. “… our life. It’ll never be the same. Even if they rebuild peace in the country. We’ll never be able to go back to our normal lives… “ Crybaby said sadly, knowing that whatever happens here will scar them forever and they will have to live with the knowledge of their friends and family killing and hurting each other and themselves. “ Yeah… I guess you’re right. It won’t be the same, but it’ll be better than now. “ Blood bath took another sip of his soda, he was well aware of the death and suffering of others around him yet never letting it get to him as far as he was concerned.

”… Even after this is over, if it ever is, will you still be my friend? “ Crybaby asked, only now opening his soda and drinking a bit of it. “ Of course I will! I’d never stop being your friend! “ Blood bath said, never would he stop being friends with Crybaby. He cares so much about his friend. “… Thank you, Blood bath.” Crybaby smiled. “ Mhm! You’re welcome! “ Blood bath had a bright, happy smile as he looked at his best friend.

A few hours passed as the boys talked and rummaged through the boxes for any snacks or things of interest, Lila soon walking down the stairs leading to the basement and making herself known. “ Boys! I made you two lunch! Come upstairs! “ Seconds after she walked back up to the kitchen, Blood bath and Crybaby came following moments after. “ Thank you mom! “ “ Thanks Ms Lila! “ The Two boys happily sat at their spots of the table , Lila sat down by the two at the end of the table with a coffee and a bag of chips. Crybaby and Blood bath both were given whatever food that was saved from the day before.

“ Mom. When it stops raining, can me and blood bath go to the park? “
” hm. I don’t see why not… just be very very careful! ”

After what felt like hours, the rain cleared up and the boys went on a walk to the park. Crybaby had put on his White mask with a smile drawn on it. It was made of metal. The mask was super heavy but Crybaby could handle it, it wasn’t as bad as the other things around him and was never a concern. The mask was bullet proof. That’s how he protected his face. Blood bath on the other hand, always wore his pumpkin mask, it was smashed in on the side and scratched up, yet he always wore it. Even in the comfort of Crybaby or his own home.

Blood bath and Crybaby walked into the park’s gates and looked around. There was a large lake at the park, there was trash in it and a dead body that some of the ducks were eating. “ Ew… “ Crybaby was disgusted with the body, though it was a common sight here. “ Yeah… that’s gross… “ Blood bath remarked, the boys haven’t noticed but, Hunter had walked up behind them. Hunter had messy brown hair, an orange and yellow sweater that was cut up at the bottom and Black leggings that had a tear at one of the knees, he had been wearing old and beat up black tennis shoes. Hunter picked Blood bath up from behind and kissed him on the back of his neck. Blood bath was surprisingly calm with this, random people do this to him more than you would think. He just glanced behind himself, confirming who this was. “ Oh. Hi Hunty. “ ‘Hunty’. The stupid nickname Blood bath had always called Hunter. “ Sup Blood bath? “ Hunter held blood bath in his arms in a position were blood bath was laying on his back on Hunter’s arms looking up at him. “ Nothing much. Just hanging out with Crybaby. What brings you here? “ Blood bath asked Hunter, reaching up to hug him and wrap his arms around his neck. “ I was on a walk, then saw you and wanted to say hi. “ Hunter said. Crybaby looked up at the two and frowned, though no one saw with his mask in. “ That’s weird. “ Crybaby said aloud. “ What is? “ Blood bath asked his friend. “ Aren’t you like, Seven years younger than Hunter? “ Crybaby asked, kinda grossed out. “ … Well- yeah- but it’s not that weird… he has never hurt me-“ Blood bath protested, though he knew it was a lie, Hunter hurt him. A lot. Though it was useless for Crybaby to argue so he just changed the subject. “ … Fine. Anyways- You hear about the Riot down town? “ Crybaby asked , specifically to hunter. He was just trying to pick up conversation. “ Yeah. It got real bad. Some kid died while at the store. Wrong place wrong time. “

The three talked for a while, Crybaby couldn’t help but think Blood bath and Hunter’s relationship was weird. And it was. He just wouldn’t say anything. “ We should probably go home. It’s late. “ Hunter suggested. “ Ok Hunty. Bye bye Crybaby! “ Blood bath waved as Hunter carried him back to his house. “ … Bye Blood bath… “ Crybaby began to walk to his own home to his mother…

Crybaby walked into the house, locking the door’s several locks and going straight to his room. His mother was already asleep. He drifted off to sleep , curled up in his sheets, today was a long day…

A few days later, Crybaby and Blood bath were in their little hide out when Crybaby felt the urge to tell Blood bath something important. “ … Hey, Blood bath? Can I talk to you? “ He’d ask, worried of what might happen… “ Sure! “ Blood bath replied with a smile. “… I know you love Hunter and all… but… what if someone really liked you, but their too scared to tell you because their your bestest friend? “ Crybaby was beating around the bush, scared of what lied within… “ hm. I don’t know. I mean- I think it’s cute that someone would like me, but I’m with hunter and I’m happy… “ Blood bath sighed, feeling as though he has let his friend down. “ … Oh. “ Crybaby frowned. He is happy that Blood bath is happy with his current relationship, but that’s the very same thing that scared him. Crybaby knew the horrible things Hunter had done to Blood bath. It made him sick. Someone who loves you shouldn’t treat you that way. Yet Blood bath had never noticed the bad things.

Crybaby got up from his bean bag chair and went to sit with Blood bath in his. Blood bath hugged Crybaby tightly, Crybaby looked at Blood bath dead in the eyes, holding his shoulders. He wanted to tell Blood bath that he thought Hunter wasn’t right for him… “ Blood bath. “ “ Yes, Crybaby? “ Blood bath slightly titled his head. “ Are you really happy with hunter? “ Crybaby looked at his friend with much concern in his eyes. “… I think I am… “ Blood bath didn’t wanna admit it, but it was genuinely scared of Hunter, Yes, he loved Hunter with all his heart, but Hunter was mean to him and scared him. “ Are you sure? He hurts you. I’ve seen what he does to you! “ Crybaby wanted his friend to be safe. He wanted him. Crybaby was jealous of Hunter. That’s another thing. He wanted Blood bath. Blood bath was always his friend and Crybaby loved him so much. Hunter had always hurt Blood bath and to see him cry always made the cruel teen smile. Blood bath felt like he was about to cry. He never wanted to believe that Hunter was hurting him. Blood bath began to tear up, he didn’t know what to do or say, tears rolled down the small kid’s cheeks as he began to just sob into his friends arms. He didn’t know. He didn’t understand. All he knew is that he wanted to feel loved and protected. He always felt that Hunter had loved him and kept him safe, but at the same time, Hunter would hurt him and make him feel horrible about himself. Blood bath didn’t know what to do or say. Crybaby hugged Blood bath. He didn’t mean to make him cry… he just wanted to understand why Blood bath stays with Hunter while Hunter hurts him…

” I’m sorry, Blood bath… I didn’t mean to make you cry… I’m sorry… “ Crybaby held Blood bath super tight in a hug, rubbing his back. “ I’m sorry Blood bath… I’m sorry…” Blood bath just cried while his friend tried to comfort him. Blood bath didn’t wanna feel emotion at this moment. He just wanted to curl up into a ball with his thoughts and think in silence. Crybaby was just panicking over the fact he made his best friend cry. He held his friend close and continued to apologize repeatedly.

All not too long after, Blood bath and Crybaby were back to normal. Crybaby was being rather clingy, holding his friend’s hand and Following his around almost everywhere. Blood bath wasn’t bothered when he did this. He did this after anything regarding his emotions. It was just his way of showing he was upset. Blood bath put his hand on Crybaby’s head and felt his hair. Crybaby’s hair was matted up and oily. Blood bath didn’t really see this as different than everyone else and he brushed his hands through his hair, getting his fingers caught in the tangles a few times. “… are you still upset? “ He’d ask his friend, still playing with his lavender color hair. “ No. I was never upset with you… I was just sad. “ Crybaby hugged his friend and let him play with his hair.

“… what do you wanna do tomorrow, Crybaby? “ Blood bath asked, trying to braid his friend’s hair. “… wanna just go on a walk?” “ sure. “

Blood bath was a rather cute child, as so Hunter would say. Blood bath’s hair was messy, tangled and all oily. Blood and cum stained his outfit and his pumpkin mask had many cracks and was beginning to mold and rot. He normally let people do whatever they want to him, he knows he can’t run from it.

Blood bath was getting ready for bed, taking off his clothing. He had only three outfits, all stained and blooded. He slept without any clothing on, he did this because he sleeps with Hunter and Hunter had told him to lay with him naked at night.

The only form of coverage the small child had was the bedsheet on Hunter's bed. He quietly waited for Hunter to walk upstairs, not long after he was met with footsteps and the bedroom door opening to reveal the teen. Hunter closed the door behind him and took off his own clothing.

“ Hello Hunty! “ Blood bath greeted his lover excitedly. He was just met with silence as Hunter got under the covers with him. Hunter pulled Blood bath into his lap and kissed him on the forehead. “ Heya Blood bath… you have a good day? “ Hunter would soon speak, he had taken Blood bath’s pumpkin mask off of him to see his pretty brown eyes and cute little face. “… today was fine. Crybaby and me talked today too.” Blood bath leaned closer to Hunter and buried his face deep into the teen’s chest. “ mhm…” Hunter had moved a hand down to Blood bath’s pelvis area, he rubbed the skin above his penis and pulled him closer to kiss his shoulder. Blood bath’s grip around Hunter’s waist tightend and his breathing became more shaky. The two stayed like this, continuing on like that, for quite some time. Eventually, the two started getting tired so they just cuddled up under the sheets.

Blood bath kissed Hunter on the cheek. “ …good night Hunty, I love you.” Hunter smiled at the smaller, younger child. “ ‘night sweetheart. “ Hunter and Blood bath cuddled up close and eventually went to sleep.

Wow. This is old. I missed this AU... I recently found the only existing drawing of Wrath. Made long before I left this fic to rot. I loved these characters, I hate to see them die with my love to write. Maybe I'll remaster this again. Patch all of my mistakes with this. Maybe. Dunno, you tell me. Should I rejoin this fandom and finish this? Maybe...
