Requested by: KennytwdgisBae

"C'mon that's unfair. Carlos isn't ready for that yet." You say to Boss and he looks at Carlos then back to you.

"Well, I think he is."

"Look I like the kid and I don't want him to die just yet." You confess and Boss crosses his arms and smirks at you.

"So you DO like him."

"Did I stutter?"

"Fine but that means you have to keep an eye on him." Boss says and starts to walk away.

"That's not fair! Boss!" You yell but he keeps walking. "Stupid little- can't believe I'm- Oh hey Carlos!" You stop yourself from continuing when Carlos taps your shoulder. He was adorable and it was obvious he didn't have a lot of self esteem.

"You're keeping an eye on me now?" He asks and you nod your head.

"Yup."

"Why?" You use at his question and then cough awkwardly.

"Right well, um, *cough* ah." There wasn't a single sentence you could pull together in that moment. It took you a full minute to collect yourself. "He gave me the job because I forgot how to live a normal life." A lie, that was all you could say. But at least you said something.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't be to curious about things. It's how you end up dead." You look at the door and then back at him. "On a happier note, I heard you own a dry cleaner around here." You half smile and he smiles back.

"Yeah I do. Do you want to help me?" He asks.

"Yeah, I guess."

(Time Skip)

Uh, this is boring. You think as you give the man back his change. Why can't something fun happen? No, I should not think that way. If I do- You look at the door and see a big burly man standing there. "I'm here to pick something up." He smirks and you grab your gun from under the desk.

"And what would that be?" You ask with a smile.

"I'm afraid I need to talk to Carlos. It's a," He pauses, "Special pickup." You get up and hide your gun behind you.

"I'm afraid he's not in right now." You say and he pulls something from his pocket and starts walking towards you. You hold your gun with your right hand and hold your left hand out to grab the paper. But he immediately pulls back his hand with the paper and pulls out a gun but you duck behind the desk before he can shoot you.

"This job was supposed to be easy. Why'd you have to get in the way?" He mumbles to himself as he walks around the counter. When he is in your line of sight, you shoot. The bullet pierces through his leg which makes him fall in pain. You immediately get up and shoot his other leg so he stays down. You then pick up his gun and put the closed sign on the door.

"Who do you work for?" You ask.

"It's too late. Someone would have already heard the shots and called the cops." He says and smirks.

"They'd be too late to save your sorry ass."

"No, you'd be too late to save Carlos' sorry ass." As soon as he says that, there's a scream from the back.

"Carlos!" You yell and run to the back to see a white truck speeding down the rode. "Damn it!" You yell and grab your phone as you sprint to your car.

"What's wrong, (y/n)?" Boss asks and you speed down the rode.

"We've got a problem. They have Carlos." You say and he starts cursing.

"You know what you have to do. This isn't a normal mission. I give you permission to do whatever you want to them."

"I was hoping you would say that." You smile and hang up. The people in the white truck were terrible drivers. They crashed into buildings and street signs and lights. You lost them four times but were eventually able to catch up with them. "Give him back!" You yell with your window down.

"And what if we don't?" The passenger asks as the driver tries to ram you off the rode.

"I will kill you in the most horrific way possible." You reply and they look at each other with a smile.

"Good luck trying to catch us." The driver taunts and in a flash, he drove off leaving the dust in your eyes.

(Time Skip)

It took a while but you found them again. They were dragging something in a black bag behind their truck and you knew it was Carlos. That was the last straw. You floored it and rammed into the side of the truck making it tumble onto the side of the rode. You stopped your car and jumped out of it with a pistol from your glove department. Luckily, that one had a silencer. You went straight to the truck and shot both the men in the car. "Since you gave him a bag, I won't make this painful." You say and shoot them again. "That's more than what you deserve." You mumble and walk to the back of the white truck. The bag wasn't squirming and time stood still for you. "No, Carlos, please." You open the bag to check his pulse and he was still alive.

(Time Skip)

You went straight to the hospital and they took him in immediately. "I'm sorry but you'll have to wait in the waiting room." The nurse tells you and now you're sitting and waiting for Boss to arrive. "How is he?" Boss asks as he sits next to you.

"I got him here just in time. Any second later and-" You pause and he sits next to you. "I want revenge and I know just how to serve it." He inclines his ear and you whisper. "You know how Maero loves his derby competitions? I say we put Jessica in the trunk of the last car and watch him land right on top of her."

"You've had some time to think about this."

"They hurt the one I love. Now it's time I hurt the one he loves." The doctor walks in with Carlos stitched up. "Besides, they should've known better than to mess with us." You walk over to Carlos and smile at him. "I'm glad you're ok." You say and touch the palm of your hand to his cheek. "Honestly, you almost gave me a heart attack when I saw you." The doctor immediately puts his stethoscope to your heart and you roll your eyes. "I meant in the 'I love him' way." You say to the doctor and he nods his head and removed his stethoscope.

"He only broke his arms and two ribs but-"

"Only?" You cut in and remove your hand from his face.

"He's going to be alright." The doctor finishes and glares at you. You glare back at him until he gives up and walks away.

"Take him home. I'll pay for everything then meet you there."

(Time Skip)

Oh revenge was so sweet. You watched as Maero smashed the trunk of the car that has Jessica in it. You look at Carlos and smile. "Since someone lost his lover, would mind being mine to being the love back to the gangs?" Yeah, it was an odd way of asking but he got the message.

"Yes!" He practically screams and you kiss him.

"Finally," Boss huffs and you smile at Carlos.

"I know what you mean."
