Marks now scattered ceasers body , the talk that he thought was going to happen turned out to not really be talk , but more of a claim ,Carlos was intent on marking him everywhere , his thighs , his chest , his neck , his legs , his ass , his jaw , anywhere that wasn't bruised from the previous beating had some form of a marking from Carlos , weather that be a handprint or a hickey , it didn't matter because ceaser was his . End of conversation. And now ceaser lay bare in Carlos's arms , the man holding him tightly to his own body and legs tangled together as his hands ran through Caesars dark hair .
" c-Carlos ", caeser asked in a whisper , his voice almost going unheard as he spoke , and tilting his head up to look to Carlos better instead of his head being snuggled into his chest , and Carlos hums , not moving at all other than the soft touch as he ran his hand through ceasers hair
" are , are we going to have that talk now ", he whispered , swallowing thickly after he spoke so his voice wouldn't break , and Carlos let's put a heavy breathe before looking down to the teen
" you kissed her back , there's nothing else to say ", Carlos says blankly , eyes void of emotion , making ceasers face fall and he avoids eye contact , not wanting to start crying again , cause after all , it was his fault , right
" but your mine , and you won't do it again unless you really don't want to be with me -
" NO , NO  . ILL NEBER DO IT AGAIN - I Promise , I'll , I'll never do it again , I didn't mean to , please - please don't - please don't leave me , I - I want you , I want to be yours , I'm yours , please -", ceaser cries , unable to keep the tears at bay as he holds onto Carlos tightly , cuddling back into him , making Carlos breathe out a sigh of relief , cradling the teen to him and shushing him gently
" okay ...... okay , it's okay , your mine , you'll always be mine ", he assured in a coo , pulling ceasers face from his chest to wipe his tears and pecking his forehead
" I am ", ceaser sighs out thankfully with a nod , holding Carlos's hands that cradled his face and pulling them to his lips to place small kisses on them affectionately , making Carlos smile adoringly at him as he does before cuddling back into Carlos's chest , almost forgetting about what they did before until he felt the familiar pain , and Carlos chuckled in amusement , rubbing ceasers back and caressing the skin on his thigh in soothing circles as ceaser calmed his breathing , and nuzzled into Carlos's chest with a breathe of relief and content

...........

Ceaser nodded cluelessly as his three friends spoke over one another , and he barely hears a thing either than a few jumbled up half words , and kinda wished he just went to Carlos's after school instead of hanging out with his old friends that he had recently become close with once again
" yo ", ceaser yells over them , clapping his hands together with a huff as they all look to him
" one at a time , I'm not following ", he tells them with a shrug of the shoulders , and ruby smiles as he raises his hand like a child , and ceaser sighs , guesturing for ruby to speak
" thankyou ", he smiled , unable to keep back his excitement, only further confusing ceaser
" sorry , it just exciting . We've been chewing on this the last two weeks . And it's finally time to move forward with the plan ", ruby smiles
" a plan for what ", ceaser asks with a sigh
" getting you out of the gang ", monse says in a duh tone , and ceaser looks at her as he tries to hold back a smile for a second before eventually laughing at them , then realising their serious faces and looks at them blankly
" your serious ", ceaser asks with raised brows , making them all nod
" oh , my gosh , no . No , no , no , no . There is no out . You're being naive . Once you're jumped in , you can't get out . Unless you get jumped out , and that's not , you know , an option ", he trails off quietly , scratching the back of his head
" why not ", Jamal shrugs , making ceaser sigh
" because they beat you till you die , and even if they don't , I can't get hurt by the santos , I'm with Carlos , he wouldn't let anyone hurt me , and I'm already stuck in the gang , I can't get out , and if I do , then I'm just with the aminos's instead of the santos , if I ever get out ", ceaser rambles , missing the hurt and saddened look monse got when he mentioned Carlos , not that it would have done much , he didn't feel that way for her , and he still didn't trust her when they were alone together
" oh , I see your dilemma ", Jamal frowns , then smiling as he processed how ceaser had a good relationship and it wasn't just a shitty gang guy who was feared by everyone , to be honest , Jamal and the other two were expecting the worst when it came down to whatever was going on with ceaser and Carlos , like abuse and all the red flags , but the only thing they've noticed was the smile ceaser got when his name was brought up , or how protective , and possessive Carlos was , and that they have a very busy sex life with the amount of constant hickeys ceaser seems to have in the oddest places
" death isn't the only option . Ruby ", monse asks , trying not to grit her teeth together as she spoke , still a bit bitter and jealous after Carlos was brought up, but he was also one of the reasons she wants ceaser away from the gang life
" so , after compiles amounts of research , I've formedulated a theory that all great tings come in threes : the holy trinity , primary colours , destiny's child ...-
" DC started with four members ", Jamal rolled his eyes as he cut ruby off , who shrugs
" but they weren't big until they were three. Which is why there are gheee common denominators to end any and all hostile situations , I call them the three Ms . Money , murder , manipulation", ruby presents as he passes folders to monse and Jamal , who opens the wrong part of the folder , making ruby pull a face at what they were doing
" no , not tha one . They're watermarked ", ruby tells them , guesturing to the folders before passing one to ceaser , who looks completely done with this, facepalming once he opened the folder and begin to read
" clearly , murders off the table . The irony would be too much ", monse starts , making ceaser sigh , shutting the folder and placing it beside him
" there's no way we can hustle enough cash with a car wash to make it worth Oscar's while -
" unless ....", Jamal starts , cutting ruby off , making them both huff
" Jamal , don't . Please don't say it ", monse complains
" getting a lot of cash isn't outside the realm of possibility ", Jamal stands up , and ruby rolls his eyes
" what are you talking about ", ceaser raises his brows as Jamal came over to him
" rollerworld ", monse and ruby say in sync with annoyed looks
" it's real and 50k is still out there . Those dudes that robbed rollerworld got put away , but the money was never recovered-
"- in the 80s", ruby calls out in annoyance , cutting Jamal off again as his grandmother came into the room , minding her own business
" and the rumours still rampant . What about the goonies . Some of those kids thought it was b.s  untill they found the treasure. And they weren't even-
" brown , we're brown . Only white kiss find treasure ", monse exclaims annoyed , making Jamal finally sigh
" it's true ", he frowns , not completely believing her as ruby looked to his grandma confused
" what are you looking for ", ruby asks , making her shit the draw she was looking in harshly and turn to look at ruby
" baby Jesus . He's missing . The special one blessed by the bishop . I put him in here before I started to move into my room ", she rants out , her Mexican accent thick with her words and rolling her Rs naturally as she spoke , and ruby facepalms as he looks to Jamal
" dude , you're literally holding it ", ruby points out , gesturing to jamals hands , making everyone notice the baby Jesus he was holding , even Jamal seeming confused on how it got there but stands up with it in his hand , face defensive as he saw the look ruby's gran was giving him
" no , this is toddler Jesus . Babies don't stand . This Jesus is probably already potty trained . And this isn't a diaper , these are booty shorts ", Jamal points out in a ramble , getting a blank look from the old woman the whole time before she puts her hand out expectantly , making him sigh , then walking over to place it in the woman's hands , who pulls it to her with a look before stomping off in annoyance , monse shaking her head at the scene as ceaser watched amused
" sit down , sit ", ruby hissed under his breathe with a frustrated look
" all right , I'm out ", ceaser chuckles as he stands up from his place , making Monses eyes go wide in alarm
" we haven't even pitched the final M ", monse exclaimed
" don't need to ", ceaser sighs with a shrug , making the girl huff as she stood as well
" manipulation ", she states , pushing him back down to sit , and he does with a small thud , frowning and breathing in harshly
" through negotiation ", Jamal adds as monse sits back down between him and ruby
" with cogent , we'll articulated arguments ", ruby finishes happily , and ceaser raises his brows
" so , that's it , that's the plan . You're gonna get me out of a gang with cogent , well articulated arguments", ceaser asks blankly
" yes ", all three answer in sync
" never gonna happen ", ceaser claps his hands together as he stood back up
" good talk ", he sighs , patting Jamal on the shoulder as he left the room , his tired expression quickly going into a small smile as he leaves , knowing he'd see Carlos once he got back or be going to Carlos's
