A trope that gets to me: 'guard dog' character and their partner who are both fully aware of it and honestly don't care/kind of like it. Someone says "call your guard dog off" and their partner does call them off. That person, their 'guard dog', is someone who is unreservedly, irrefutably loyal to them. Someone undoubtedly dangerous who is willing to kill, to maim, to obey, simply because of their love for one another. There's no manipulation involved— it is loyalty, brutal, dogged loyalty. And it goes both ways.
It got her in trouble alot as a kid. And ended up giving her more than one hospital visit. Wasnt the greatest.
But she refused to back down. When something was unfair she would stnad up to it. When someone was getting bullied she would end up in detention for breaking the assholes hand
So when the fight started. She refused to hide and back down. She would not let her friends. Her mother or her brother get hurt. She would give them as much time as she could. She would use her bat to hit away the grenades
When Sal tried to cling to her leg she panicked alittle. Yelling at him to go and hide. To find Senku. Only when she pushef him off did he listen
With that tiny distraction. She hadnt noticed the grenade that landed not too far from her. Not until the blast hit her and sent her flying back. It wasnt that that killed her
The impact that sent her flying back. Made her hit the back of her head on a sharp rock harshly. The ladt thing she remebers is.. seeing herself and her family. Sitting around a campfire in the field beside theyre home. Roasting marshmallows Santiago stole from the store on hangers
Manny and Sal were so little back then.. so was she. Santiago could carry her and Manny back then no issue.. she wonders how he is
She wonders How Lorenzo is.. how Mannys holding up.
She hears her mothers scream. But that rades into the ringing as she closes her eyes
Valentina had witnessed alot of death in her life. When she had first married Agustín. The month after she got a call from her brother sayong theyre parents got in the middle og a gunfight
She was there holding her mothers hand when she died
She had witnessed her brothers death. When his son Santiago was barely 18.
She was there taking care of her dear brother when he passed. And that was a hard time for everyone
She had witnessed so many terrible things. But never in a million years. Would she imagine having to witness the life leave her xhilds eyes
When she saw the explosion her heart dropped. She gad been trying to hide Sal. But seeing Esme. She rushed over. She needef to get to her. She needed to hold her daughter
Tears are already streaming down her face as she runs over. But she doesnt get to even touch her. She feels a shot run through her legs and she stumbled to the ground
She screams out in pain. And tries to reach for Esmeralda. But she cant. She can only weakly crawl
When she sees the greenlight. She can obly pray. Pray that the petrification heals her daughter again. She cannot bury her own child.
By the time the stone hits her. Shes able to lightly touch Esmes fingertips.
Salvadore had never liked loud noises. So hearing the explosions and shooting made him freeze. He was unsure of what to do. His sister and Mother were on the ground. And people were felling.
There was so much- blood. It was terrifying. He shrieked in terror as a bullet almost shot in
Grazing his cheek. A tiny bit of blood spilling frlm the graze.
He runs over ro Chrome. Hiding behind him. Unsure of what it is thats happening. He wants his mom. He wants his dad.
When Chrome falls. Hes under him. Hiding
And barely breathing.
When the stone engulfed him. Hes weirdly relaxed. The darkness and no sound is. Nice.
__________
Lorenzo never considered himself a brave person. Sure hes been in fights and such. And refuses to back down if his family or friends been offended or hurt
So when he follows his boyfriend after hearing the commotion of fighting and shooting
He freezes as he watches the group of people he had been accepted by. The people who clothed and fed him after Manny brought him back. The people who had been oh so kind to him and his family get shot down as if they were cattle. His blood runs cold
Hes relieved to see Aden seems to be on the same side as him. He quickly runs in. Trying to avoid the gun shots. He pulls the injured to a corner so that they can try to survive but-
Jesus fucking christ. It's as if they had gotten shredded. He looks around. Seeing Aden fight was anxiety inducing.
He reaches for the small blade he kept in his shoe. Something he made himself incase the soldiers tried to pull some shit on him
Hes about run into the fight. But fear falls on him like a 50 ton hammer. He freezes. He remembers the feeling of a gunshot. He knows how fucking painful it is
But knowing this group of people. He knows theyre not fighting for no reason. He tries to force himself to move but hes still frozen to this spot. His face goes pale as one of his friends fall to the ground infront of his feet
He feels his breath turn shallow. He tightly grips his blade. And when he looks up and sees Aden fighting he finally forces his body to move
He cant let his boyfriend fight alone. He cant let these guards kill all his friends.
Hes able to get a few good stabs into the people shooting. The blood staining his hand but adrenaline pushing him through.. when he hears Wren scream in pain he turns to look for only a moment
Then hes shot in the leg. He hisses. But refuses to fall. He turns and uses his good leg to push himself to run towards the guy that shot him. He throws the blade and hits the guy in the leg. Then he uses his good leg to kick the gun away
The guy throws a punch to his face and makes him fall back. His ears go ringing. But soon registers the shooting stop
He tries to look around for Aden. Adrenaline pushing through him when he sees him hurt. He pushes to his feet and tries to rush to him
But his vision goes blank and he falls to the ground as he feels a intense pain break through his skull
Hes still. Thinking. Memories of Manolo. Of the girls. Of when he held Salvadore for the first time. His first musical gig
His mother. His father before he was an alcoholic. His friends
And Aden. His first time seeing him. His first kiss with him. His first night with him
..the ring he had made for Aden in his pocket..
He doesn't even register when the stone engulfed his body.
____________
And finally Manolo
Manolo hadn't spoken a word since he witnessed Tsukasa die. His wrists were bruising from the rope and the amount of times he tried to run back to his boyfriends body
Each time he blinked. He saw Tsukasas limp body
The only time he had looked up. Was when Stanleys crew started shooting and throwing grenades at the camp. He was horrified. There really wasn't a chance for any peaceful solution. He knew that since they killed his love and Hyoga and Kohaku. No questions asked
Wyatt roughly grabbed his chin and forced him to look towards a specific part in the camp. Where he could slightly see Taiju grabbing LIVE grenades and throwing them back
He goes pale as he sees one roll to his foot
Flinching and looking away when he sees it go off. Hes horrified
"See Manny dear? Your gonna only need me by the end of this. Cause im all you'll have"
He doesn't even hear or know how or when Suika got free. But when he doesn't see her with them hes relieved. She- she needs to escape
Though when he sees the similar green light in the sky. The same one he saw all those years ago. His heart drops. He doesn't know what's going on or what the plan is. He doesn't hear stanley bark order anymore. They must be inside the camp
He feels Wyatt start to pull his arm
"Why dont we go see how your little friends and family look like hm?"
Oh hes tired of this. With each tug at his arm he remembers how Wyatt grabbed him the day they escaped. How he forced him into his room. How each night he would torment him for hours
He remembers each bruise. Each cut on his body. The time he spent chopping at his hair. The time he spent forcing himself on him
He cant use his hands. But Wyatt did make the stupid decision to tie them infront of his torso.
He uses his leg to send a strong kick to his stomach. Catching Wyatt off guard and making him stumble and half fall on his ass
And Manny jumps over onto him. Trying to wrestle the gun from him. But Wyatt isn't letting him. They struggle for what feels like hours. Manny barking insults at him in spanish
"I just- want to" Wyatts struggling to speak as he struggles agaisnt Manny "Love you"
Oh fuck that. Manny headbutts him hard. Til Wyatt falls back. One of his knees press down on the gun and his hands wrap around Wyatts throat. Strangling the man
Wyatt tries to use his free hand to scratch at his hands. Or to hit his side but it's no use
Manolo is strangling him. While tears stream down his angry face
He barely even processes what happens next
Til he looks down and sees his chest bleeding
Quite alot.
His grip finally loosens and he hears Wyatt gasp for air. His hand moves to his chest. It hurts- it hurts so bad he can barely feel it. Adrenaline coursing through his body-
"Baby- baby im sorry I didnt mean to- I didnt want to hurt you baby"
Is Wyatt... crying?
In all these years hes known Wyatt. Never once had he heard him cry
Not even when Wyatts mother passed
"Please. Please be okay- I just wanted you back- you loved me so much... I wanted you to love me again. Be- because I love you- Id never hurt you like this im so sorry."
Hes sobbing. It's.. kind of pathetic
Manny looks back at him. Instead of comforting him or hugging him. He throws a punch square to his jaw
"Fuck you" he spits out at him. As soon as the stone ends up touching them
He wraps his hands around his throat again. The stone forever encasing them in a position. Where Manny was clearly trying to kill Wyatt.

Enzo is walking toward the colony, he had heard all about the new additions when Aurora came by earlier- though that wasnt what was causing his visit
He wanted to check on Aden, he had heard Aurora say something about Aden not exactly being the happiest about the new members. And he wanted to make sure he was okay
@theanonguitarist
Aden is halfway to the Perseus, walking quickly. He hadn't expected Aurora to wake two of her brothers up, and he honestly blames the mess with Corvus for her sudden sentimentality.
When he spots Lorenzo, he moves even faster, meeting him on the path.
"Hey," He says, hoping he at least sounds casual. "I was just coming to see you."
He takes Enzo's hand, feeling a little better to have him so close. He lets out a small sigh.
"I've been busy, but things have gotten a little less hectic, so I decided to make my way out," It was only partially a lie. "Let's go back to the Perseus, we're much closer to it than the colony.
It wasn't that he didn't like the newest additions to the colony, but he couldn't help the anxiety that rolls through him at the idea of Lorenzo meeting one of them in particular.
He tugs Lorenzo with him as he starts walking down the path back towards the ship.
"I need to be out for a while, anyway, and I'd kill for some of your cooking."
The sigh that escapes him was heavier than he'd meant for it to be. Of course everything was fine. Aurora's brothers were settling in easily, and were both content to be helpful in their own ways.
However.
"It's going alright. I can't really complain, though I'm not the biggest fan of one of them."
Enzo instinctively runs his thumb over his knuckle, and he raises a brow
"Mm really? How come?" He tilts his head, and grins slightly "Need me to kick theyre ass?" Hes of course- mostly joking
Hes been warned, a dozen times, not to pick fights with the colony members, the alliance was very weak, and any fights between members risked the alliance between both parties
"No, nothing like that. He isn't worth fighting, and if he was, I'd have done it already."
Not that he wouldn't find it quite amusing to watch his boyfriend punch Calvin in the face, he'd never dare ask such a thing. Aden was supposed to be the violent one, not Enzo. In his mind, anyway.
"He can just be difficult to be around. He's rather...proud."
Enzo nodded, he definitely understood the annoyance of people who were just- exuding the 'higher then thou' energy
He squeezes his hand again "Well, if he ever does something worth fighting over, i wouldnt mind coming over and setting his straight, so you dont have to dirty your pretty hands"
His lips press together in a thin line. He didn't want to lie to Lorenzo, but he also didn't want the other man to know just how insecure he could be.
He takes a bit too long to answer, tossing the pros and cons of honesty around in his mind until he decides it was better to just rip the damn band-aid off.
"He's...ugh-" He pulls his sunglasses off, rubbing at his face with his free hand, then running it through his hair.
"Calvin and I have a bad history. I don't necessarily dislike him, not in the same way I dislike Shithead [Wyatt] at the very least, but...let's just say I've had more than one relationship fall out in the past because of him."
He looks at Lorenzo, feeling a little like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Lobito he could be the king of England and theres still no way my eyes wont be fixed on you"
He says and lets him hide his face in his shoulder
"I-" well maybe he shouldn't drop the love bomb.. "Whenever i enter a room, my eyes search for yours, you also invade my mind every waking moment.. Theres no way id like him better than you"
A part of him wants to argue, to tell Lorenzo that no, he was wrong. That the moment he laid eyes on Cal, his head would turn. But the warmth in his voice, and the sincerity in his words has him daring to believe in Enzo's statement.
He mumbles something softly into Lorenzo's shoulder, something too quiet for him to hear, then he stands up straight, and gives a small smile.
"Alright. But still, at least make sure you're with me or Auri when you meet him. That way we can fight him off you."
He raised a brow, ignoring the way his face felt warm at Adens expression and wording, then he chuckles "well you can have anything you want from me, all you need to do is to ask"
He hums as he thinks about what to make, gently pulling away but taking Adens hand to lead him down the path

"I've been busy, but things have gotten a little less hectic, so I decided to make my way out," It was only partially a lie. "Let's go back to the Perseus, we're much closer to it than the colony.
It wasn't that he didn't like the newest additions to the colony, but he couldn't help the anxiety that rolls through him at the idea of Lorenzo meeting one of them in particular.
He tugs Lorenzo with him as he starts walking down the path back towards the ship.
"I need to be out for a while, anyway, and I'd kill for some of your cooking."
The sigh that escapes him was heavier than he'd meant for it to be. Of course everything was fine. Aurora's brothers were settling in easily, and were both content to be helpful in their own ways.
However.
"It's going alright. I can't really complain, though I'm not the biggest fan of one of them."
Enzo instinctively runs his thumb over his knuckle, and he raises a brow
"Mm really? How come?" He tilts his head, and grins slightly "Need me to kick theyre ass?" Hes of course- mostly joking
Hes been warned, a dozen times, not to pick fights with the colony members, the alliance was very weak, and any fights between members risked the alliance between both parties
"No, nothing like that. He isn't worth fighting, and if he was, I'd have done it already."
Not that he wouldn't find it quite amusing to watch his boyfriend punch Calvin in the face, he'd never dare ask such a thing. Aden was supposed to be the violent one, not Enzo. In his mind, anyway.
"He can just be difficult to be around. He's rather...proud."
Enzo nodded, he definitely understood the annoyance of people who were just- exuding the 'higher then thou' energy
He squeezes his hand again "Well, if he ever does something worth fighting over, i wouldnt mind coming over and setting his straight, so you dont have to dirty your pretty hands"
His lips press together in a thin line. He didn't want to lie to Lorenzo, but he also didn't want the other man to know just how insecure he could be.
He takes a bit too long to answer, tossing the pros and cons of honesty around in his mind until he decides it was better to just rip the damn band-aid off.
"He's...ugh-" He pulls his sunglasses off, rubbing at his face with his free hand, then running it through his hair.
"Calvin and I have a bad history. I don't necessarily dislike him, not in the same way I dislike Shithead [Wyatt] at the very least, but...let's just say I've had more than one relationship fall out in the past because of him."
He looks at Lorenzo, feeling a little like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Lobito he could be the king of England and theres still no way my eyes wont be fixed on you"
He says and lets him hide his face in his shoulder
"I-" well maybe he shouldn't drop the love bomb.. "Whenever i enter a room, my eyes search for yours, you also invade my mind every waking moment.. Theres no way id like him better than you"
A part of him wants to argue, to tell Lorenzo that no, he was wrong. That the moment he laid eyes on Cal, his head would turn. But the warmth in his voice, and the sincerity in his words has him daring to believe in Enzo's statement.
He mumbles something softly into Lorenzo's shoulder, something too quiet for him to hear, then he stands up straight, and gives a small smile.
"Alright. But still, at least make sure you're with me or Auri when you meet him. That way we can fight him off you."
Enzo is walking toward the colony, he had heard all about the new additions when Aurora came by earlier- though that wasnt what was causing his visit
He wanted to check on Aden, he had heard Aurora say something about Aden not exactly being the happiest about the new members. And he wanted to make sure he was okay
@theanonguitarist
Aden is halfway to the Perseus, walking quickly. He hadn't expected Aurora to wake two of her brothers up, and he honestly blames the mess with Corvus for her sudden sentimentality.
When he spots Lorenzo, he moves even faster, meeting him on the path.
"Hey," He says, hoping he at least sounds casual. "I was just coming to see you."
