Beckett Monroe

You are unique. You have different talents and abilities. You don’t have to always follow in the footsteps of others. And most important, you should always remind yourself that you don't have to do what everyone else is doing and have a responsibility to develop the talents you have been given.

“Humanity? Because there’s so much of that going around right now. It doesn’t seem right because it’s not your life he messed with” laughter fell from Oz’s lips, amazed at how trivial Beck made it sound. Even if in the end it was his decision too pull the trigger, Oz felt it had long been justified “So do you or don’t want to know? I was actually thinking about telling you, but like if you want to continue to show me how much of a tough guy you are, then you can just trot off in your big boy pants” Oz didn’t hesitate as he turned away from Beck. This was the exact reason Oz never got too personal with people. The ones he thought he could trust always let him down, and the fact that Beck had come to his mind first after his crime was nothing more than a regret at the moment.

“I mean, I still wouldn’t kill the male just because he wronged me but that’s jut me.” Beck said. “I’m also eighteen and still in school, so you know. That could just be a kid mindset. But not everyone is always out for revenge like you are.” Beck said and sighed as they walked. He wrapped his arms around himself and looked down. “I do want to know. I just...” Beck paused for a minute. He didn’t want to get sappy with the other but he missed him and he missed their late night talks after sex. Being this close to him made him vulnerable again, especially with everything he had been dealing with at the club. “I don’t want to get into a late discussion about feelings or personal things if you’re just going to disappear and ignore me again because you’re pissed that I wanted more from our relationship. I get it, you don’t like opening up but i’m not gonna let myself get hurt again.”

– “I guess stirring up drama is the only thing anyone knows how to do well,” Aidan just shrugged his shoulders as he took a step back. “It’s whatever honestly, nothing that I can change on my own. Kinda just hoping it dies out, y’know?” He asked as he turned his attention to Beck. He wasn’t close with the other per say, but they had plenty of run ins in the past, knowing more about each other than either could say they wanted. “You think the green is a little much?”

“I’m sure it will.” Beck nodded and smiled a little. “I think most of the younger generation of town has the same mindset-and that’s the fact that the feud is stupid. So it very well could change.” Beck said. He looked at the other male and cocked his head to the side to view him and think for a minute. “Nah, I like the green.” He said with a smile “Definitely not too much. What’s it for?” he asked

     “yeah, exactly. he’s probably getting off on all this shit,” he agreed, grimacing. not that the murderer was the only person pleased with the revival of old rivalries. quite a few of the older citizens were almost eager to have an excuse to blame the other side of town for their problems. not to mention that the most recent death hadn’t exactly been… well, upsetting. the north might’ve been horrified, but many people in the south were secretly pleased to have someone as exploitative as Rhodes out of the way, even if they wouldn’t admit it. “yeah, yeah… he was a shitty guy, don’t get me wrong, but he didn’t deserve what he got. nobody deserves that.” he nodded along. “you’re telling me. sometimes i wonder what it’d be like to live somewhere else.”

“No, he didn’t. I was talking to someone earlier and they were so happy he was dead and I just...I get it. I get that people wanted him dead but I still think that murder is just wrong.” He said. “I was talking to a guy the other day and said the same exact thing and he wouldn’t have a word of it. Seemed like he was just rejoicing that the guy was dead and thought he deserved it.” Beck shook his head. “Which just tells me that this side war thing has been getting out of hand. I’m not particularly fond of Northerners but I don’t want them dead.” Beck said and shrugged. “Yeah, I feel that but also I could never imagine leaving. I love it here despite everything but I also think that’s me just conditioning my mind because I know I could never leave.”

“Yeah, and?” Oz threw back, knowing Beck would end up following his lead anyway. He smiled for second as he felt the male trotting beside him. Deep down he missed the late night walks, and especially now that walking from the North to the South side was more dangerous than ever. Oz wasn’t surprised hearing about his father’s outings. As much as he presented himself as the perfect human being he was as authentic as most of the stuff on a black market “You shouldn’t call it murder when it’s deserved, and he deserved all of that. The piece of shit…” he stopped himself from going any further, taking a deep breath as he calmed himself. He looked down as he walked. He wanted to focus on why he had come to talk to Beck, not continue to dwell on his father “He screwed with a lot of people. I like to think he screwed me over the most out of everyone, so trust me, he deserved that bullet”

“Whether he was an asshole or not, no one deserves to get murdered.” Beck said and shrugged as they walked. “Unlike you, it seems, I have at least some humanity. Taking someone else’s life just doesn’t seem right to me no matter what they did.” And then it. hit him what Oz had said. “What, you? What did he do to you?” He asked. Beckett didn’t know Oz’s legal name or really anything about his history. He wanted to know, he wanted to know everything about Oz, but Oz was closed off and refused to do anything about that, which was mostly the reason they had stopped things in the first place. “Look, I don’t want to talk about it anymore than that. It freaks me out. And really, I’m fine walking home alone. I don’t need you.”

Beck&Oz

Oz: really?

Oz: that's all that was there?

Oz: nothing else?

Beck: There's a box full of MAGGOTS eating a DEAD RAT.

Beck: To normal people, it's gross.

Beck: Look the point is that somebody came into my room, while it was locked, and left it here and with everything going on I don't feel great about being home alone.

[jfcbeck]

Beck&Oz

Oz: what?

Oz: i'm not leaving for something small

Oz: did one of your little clients from up north send you a gift? should have never gone up there

Beck: Trust me, it's not small.

Beck: It's a box full of maggots, a rat, and a bullet with a message telling me how I'm going to be rotten like him or some shit.

Beck: My door was locked, my windows were locked...I don't know how it got in my room but...

Beck: I'm freaked.

[jfcbeck]

Beck&Oz

Beck:Hey can you come over? Or are you busy?

Beck:At least can we text for a minute? I got home from the club and I....

Beck: I just found something on my dresser and I'm kind of freaked.

ozjpg:

There was reason he was here, and it had been clear to Oz the moment he stepped away from his father’s body. For days Oz had not given Beck another thought. There wasn’t a reason to. His secrets were safe. Though, the first thing he thought of when he walked away from his crime was Beck, and that thought had not left him since. As much as he wasn’t going to admit it, he felt bad at Beck’s silence, taking it as a clear indicator of what he said to be fact and Beck’s answer to be a cover up “Whatever” was all he could mutter as the other male walked away. He remained where he was because he had come on a mission. He didn’t come to the North for just shits and giggles “Then let’s go” Oz said ignoring the request that he leave and pushing off the wall “What do you know about the north guy that was just killed?”

“I didn’t say you could walk me home.” Beck said coldly as Oz told him to go but he didn’t walk any faster or push him away. Despite the tone he was taking with the male in front of him, Beckett almost felt a relief from seeing him there and felt safer that someone was going to walk with him. With everything going on, and with the recent murder come to light, Beck felt the walk from the North side to the South to be a little too quiet and dark and it freaked him out. Not that he’d ever admit to wanting Oz’s company again, not unless Oz wanted him back. Beck walked quietly with the other male by his side, thinking about the question that was directed his way. “Not much, I guess. I knew his name was Mr. Rhodes. I knew he was an asshole. I’ve seen him pop in once or twice but most rich dudes do come in here. He wasn’t someone who ever came up to me but he has a bit of a reputation for being a douche. Or I guess...had. Still, no one deserves to be murdered.”

     “i think the murders are just stirring everything up,” he said, shaking his head. “i wish everyone would just leave it alone. whoever’s doing this isn’t exactly gonna be going around starting fistfights.” at least, he didn’t think they would. that was probably exactly the kind of person the police were looking for. “you can say that again. me included! i don’t want to have to deal with this shit. it’s got the pigs all fired up, and that’s no good for me.” alex sighed, his shoulders slumping. “yeah, i wish. god, i hope they get this fucker soon.”

“Plus if we didn’t fight, he wouldn’t have anyone to blame it on. It seems like he’s using the sides to his advantage.” Beck hummed “Because most people know that Mr. Rhodes was an asshole to the south. There’s a lot of people I can think of that’d want to get back at him.” Beck shrugged a little. Then again, most of the older northerners carried that hatred of the South just as the older southerners hated the North. “Yeah, I get you, me either. Things just need to get back to normal...or at least as normal as they get around here.”
