"wait! don't leave me here! we'll be a building apart and-" Cedrick reached out to grip his brother's arm, leaving his gun on the floor.

shaking off his brother's grip, Dominic picked his MP7 up and started crouch walking to the door, "you'll be fine, this is my moment of glory."

standing up, Cedrick placed his hands on Dominic's shoulder and turned his around to face him, "Dominic, please, we'll go together and we can watch out for each other-"

Dominic just waved his brother off for the second time of the day and pushed his hands off his shoulder, "you're always the one that people notice, can you just for once, let me be the hero of the day?"

with that, Dominic kept pressing on forward, leaving Cedrick alone and dumbfounded.

as Dominic closed in to the room, he knew that there was no turning back, he's already a building away from his brother and so close to the objective. hearing some gunshots in the distance, he ignored it, thinking that Cedrick is probability kicking ass right now.

at the same time, Dominic hear helicopters and sirens in the distance, as he felt strange, he couldn't help but think why didn't Six call for backup where he was, instead they went to where Dominic assumed was the last spot he left Cedrick.

leaning against the door, Dominic took a deep breath and used all his strength to push open the door and raised his gun, only to find an empty room.

And now I took too long And now he's gone If I only knew right from wrong he'd be right back in my arms

as his eyes widen, Dominic immediately raced back to where he left Cedrick, heart pumping as he hopes that the gunshots fired earlier was from Cedrick, and not the other gang members. as he raced down the stairs, his walkie talkies picked up signal.

"Dominic! where are you! we've arrived for back up, took down everyone but Cedrick's already bleeding out when we arrived!"  his lover's voice yelled through the intercomm as sirens could be hear in the background.

panicking, Dominic ran as fast as he could, ignoring what Gustave was saying over the intercomm, about Cedrick calling him for backup and that there's been a breach and asking if he's alright, all he wanted is to see his brother again.

finally arriving back to the last place he left his brother, he saw Gustave pressing onto Cedrick's stomach as the other medic slowly raised Cedrick onto a stretcher. stopping in his tracks, he felt the world around him slow down as he kept his eyes on his brother, his vision getting blurry and his hearing toning out.

all he ever had was drifting away from him and it's his fault. for a second he thought he saw Cedrick opening his eyes and giving him one last weak smile before going limp again.

4am and I cannot say goodbye Crawling back home id do anything for you And I'm sitting up awake and now I can't forget you and I don't know what to do

gasping, Dominic shot up from his bed as he placed his hands on his chest, feeling his rapid heart beat. soon, he buried his face into his arms and soon tears streaming down his face.

the only thing playing over and over again in his mind was him leaving his brother behind, the last smile that Cedrick gave him and lowering his brother back to mother nature.

he was lost, broken and hate flow though his veins, hate for himself. at this point, he would do anything, absolutely anything, just to have his bother back.

"Dominic?" he hears Gustave's sleepy voice call out from behind him, and Dominic being Dominic, refused to turn around to look at his lover with his teary eyes. Dominic just shook his head as he hid his face in his hands even more.

sitting up, Gustave moved closer to him and placed his arms around Dominic, moving his hands to his chest, feeling Dominic's fast heat beat.

"Gustave.." Dominic choked out, wanting to explain how he was feeling but ends up crying even more.

as Gustave shushed Dominic, he pulled him against his chest and pulled him back to bed, Dominic still not wanting to face anyone, hid his face in Gustave's chest and placed one of his arms around his boyfriend's neck and the other searching for his boyfriend's hand, to which Gustave gripped his hands and placed a soft kiss on Dominic's forehead.

"do you what to talk about it?" Gustave spoke up.

nodding, Dominic looked up at Gustave and let out a sigh then burying his face back into Gustave's chest.

"I don't know what to do..."

lightly chuckling, Gustave ruffled Dominic's hair, "you know I can't hear you right? your voice's muffled, dear."

lifting his head, Dominic looked at Gustave, and spend a good few minutes just staring and admiring Gustave, and be grateful that he has such a beautiful man is his.

"Dominic? is everything okay?" Gustave asked as he tilted his head sideways, eye locked onto Dominic.

in response, Dominic just moved up on top of Gustave and placed his head on the medic's neck, placing soft kisses. laughing, Gustave placed his arm around Dominic, placing soft kisses on his head every now and then, giving Dominic time to relax and open up to him.

"I dreamt of Cedrick again, if only I wasn't greedy, Cedrick would be okay and here with me, instead of..." unable to finish his sentence, Dominic tightened his grip around Gustave.

humming softly, Gustave stroked Dominic's hair slowly, hoping to relief some of his boyfriend's stress and maybe guilt.

"love, it's okay, take your time. I'll be here with you all the way."

"but! if I didn't rush, if only I thought of Cedrick and his safety, now I'll be-"

the more Bandit spoke, the more tears flowed out, seeing this hurt Gustave, knowing that he can't do much to help him but only be with him all the way.

"Dominic, look at me."

still insisting to bury his face in Gustave's neck, Dominic shook his head.

"Dominic."

hearing Gustave's hard tone, Dominic looked with with his teary eyes and red nose, years still flowing out of his eyes.

using one hand to rub away the tears, Gustave cupped Dominic's face and Dominic leaned in to his touch, feeling like the luckiest person to have Gustave and his boyfriend.

"baby, I know you feel guilty for Cedrick's death, but you need to stop beating yourself up for it. I'm sure he doesn't want to see you like this."

keeping his eyes on Dominic's and his hands still cupping his boyfriend's face, Gustave spoke softly, wanting his boyfriend to stop crying, seeing him hurt makes Gustave hurt as well.

nodding, Dominic leaned down to kiss Gustave, slow and steady. his lips rubbing against Gustave's and soon his tongue pushing it's way into Gustave's mouth, sliding over his boyfriend's tongue.

before pulling away, Dominic took Gustave's lips between his teeth and nibbled on it softly, making Gustave let out a moan.

"cheeky boy." Gustave teased before pulling Dominic back into his embrace and placing his boyfriend's head on to his chest.

tracing Gustave's muscles with a finger, Dominic looked up at his boyfriend and pouted his lips out, asking for another kiss.

unable to resist, Gustave leaned down to give him one more kiss. a short but sweet one. it was rare for Dominic to act this way,  usually it would be Gustave asking for kisses and hugs, not the other way round, but Gustave isn't complaining.

"go to sleep loved one, I'll be here with you wake up, I'll be with you all the way." Gustave spoke at his hands started stroking Dominic's hair once more.

"good night Gustave."

"good night loved one."

"Gustave?"

looking at Dominic, Gustave tilted his head sideways and gave a questioning look.

"thank you, so much. I have no idea what to do without you. you're all I got. " Dominic whispered, cuddling closer to his lover.
