could you perhaps be persuaded into expanding on why and/or how your bouncers are protective of each other 👀?
I wasn't sure if you wanted it in bulletpoint form or nah, so imma just go bulletpoint first, cuz i need to do some thinking to articulate them into actual sentences
The Bruins have a code which is "We protect our own". So if you violate it you either pay it by exile or death
When Ully was in Buffalo he was working a similar job (private security). And he remembers watching his coworker Sobotka getting jumped from behind when he was off on his own.
Later on working a job at a shady house party he watched his friend/partner Carter Hutton get stabbed to death when he was down and injured. He felt helpless and guilty so he moved to Boston to get away from his past. (I'm sorry Hutts ILY i'm sorry u gotta go like this)
On his first mission Bergy was fiercely protective of everyone and he admired that. He ended up sort of asking Bergy how he does it and Bergy sort of explains how he lost Razor and now doesn't want to lose anyone else. He cannot change the past but he can focus on the present.
At the club he sees Sway get harassed by some drunk girls and he doesnt like seeing Sway uncomfortable so he would interject and kindly escort the girls out
Meanwhile Sway when he first joined learned by watching Tuukka and Jaro. He likes this group of people. He likes being their last line of defence. He doesn't like them getting hurt.
When he first met Ully he sees a lot of anxiety and a little bit of wariness so he opened himself up to Ully. That caught Ully off-guard and he decided he was gonna protect the friendly guy so he doesn't end up like Hutts.
Something like this. I have not formulated the thoughts properly and I am very sorry it took me a while cuz I had a couple of appointments (doctors appt, job interview) so i couldnt focus on it.
But now that I got some of it written down I should be able to write you a fic to go along with it I'm sorry if it's not what you expected :(
