❗️❗️ TW/CW GUNS, VIOLENCE, BLOOD, PANIC ATTACK ❗️❗️

' Sword groaned as he woke up, rubbing his eyes. He shook his head, trying to wake up from the dream. '

' " Mmhh.. Rocky, wake up.. " He shook Rocket gently, watching as the other groaned and woke up. '

' Rocket stretched, grunting and sat up. They both looked around before rubbing their eyes. '

' " Why did you wake me up Swordie..? " Sword kept looking around. '

' " I just had a bad feeling.. " Rocket leaned up, kissing his cheek and hugged him. '

' " I'm sure everything's ok baby, why don't we go look? " Sword nodded, rubbing his eyes more to fully wake up. '

' " Mm, ok.. " Rocket held his hand, the two getting up and walked out to see if breakfast was ready. '

' " See? Everything's- " '

' BANG BANG '

' " WHAT THE- " Rocket ducked, scared. '

' " What was that-?! " Sword grabbed onto the railing of the staircase and peeked around the corner. '

' It didn't look like anything was there, but he was skeptical. '

' " Wait here. " Rocket nodded and sat at the top of the stairs, trying to contain his breathing. '

' Sword crept down the stairs more, barely audible as he walked. He peeked into the kitchen, and then is when he saw it. 2 guys in heavy armor with guns pointed at Venomshank, his brother, and Ghostdeeri, his sister, who were tied up. On the floor was Vinestaff, she... '

' Sword looked away and tried not to gag. The kitchen was covered in blood, so was Vinestaff. She was unmoving. Sword crept to another flight of stairs, the ones to his dad's study. He looked through thr crack in the door, but pulled away and tried not to tear up. '

' His dad was pushed onto the table, bloodied and bruised. His father, Darkheart, was in a corner tied up and sobbing with something in his hands. '

' " Just don't hurt my kid-! Please- please anything but him-! " '

' " So there are others in the house? " Sword gasped silently and got up, stumbling a bit and quietly rushed back to Rocket. '

' " We need to leave-! Now!! " Rocket looked up and sniffled, wiping his eyes. '

' " Wh- huh-? What's- " '

' BANG BANG '

' SCREAM '

' Sword shivered. That sounded like Ghostdeeri. He grabbed Rocket and ran to his room, grabbing the bags he thankfully packed last night and unplugged their phones, throwing them and the chargers into the bags and opened the window. '

' " Let's go-! " Rocket fumbled around with his shoes, panting and crying. '

' Sword raced to his bedside table and grabbed the cash he had and some other prized possessions before climbing out the window. He helped Rocket and they got down safely, hiding on the side of the house in case anyone saw them running. '

' " I can't- I- My dad- " Rocket slid down the side of the house and curled up into a ball, clawing and clutching at his horns. '

' " Hey, hey! You're ok! Look at me baby, you're ok. " Sword sat beside him and hugged his boyfriend, gently scratching his head to help him calm down. '

' Sword sighed, just kissing his head and helping him calm down from this panic attack. He held him to his chest, not only to comfort him, but also to keep him down since he usually got violent when having panic attacks. '

' " I'm calm- I'm calm.. I'm- ok.. " Rocket pulled away and sighed, wiping his tears away. '

' " I'm ok..." Sword kissed his head and helped him up. '

' "Come on, let's try walking to your dad's place. " Rocket nodded and took his boyfriends hand, the two of them following the drive way down to the road. '

' Rocket sighed and whined. '

' " Baby, my place is over 5 miles away.. I can't walk that-! " Sword hummed. '

' " Well- we can't hijack a truck.. We could call your dad? " Rocket nodded and pulled out his phone, sighing. '

' " No service.. let's try walking and see if we get some. " Sword nodded and held his hand as they walked, checking his phone too for any service. '

' They eventually had walked 2 1/2 miles and Rocket could barely function. He sat on the side of the road and whined. '

' " I'm too tireddddd-! " Sword chuckled and took off his bag. '

' " Here, put my bag on too and I'll carry you! " Rocket stood up and snickered, crossing his arms. '

' " Really? You, carry me? " Sword smirked ans picked him up, hauling him over his shoulder while Rocket yelped. '

' " See? Light as a feather! " Rocket giggled but relaxed, honestly liking this since it gave his feet a break. '

' " Why thank you, handsome~ " He yawned and closed his eyes, dozing a but as Sword walked. '

' He eventually made it to Zuka's place, a small house on a small property. He knocked on the door, but no answer. '

' " Rocky? Isn't your dad supposed to be home? " Rocket woke up and stretched, hopping out of his boyfriends arms. '

' " Huh? He's not answering? " Rocket knocked on the door, and still nothing. '

' " He might be at the laundromat.. eh, we can sneak in through here! " Sword snickered and followed him to behind the house to a slightly opened window.'

' " This is the laundry room, we always gotta keep a window open for it! " He jumped up on the windowsill and opened it up, hopping indie. '

' Sword followed, humming. '

' " Isn't this the first time I've ever been to your house? " Rocket thought before humming and opened the door. '

' " Huh, it is! " He giggled and took him to his room, where they both flopped down and sighed. '

' " I need a nap.. to process what I saw... " Rocket curled on his boyfriends side and cooed. '

' " Nap, I'll make sure you're safe.. " Sword nodded and cooed, curling up and slowly drifted off . . . '
