Hello loves!! Once again not proofread, it's 4am I'm so sorry

"You knew how he would feel about this, we told you we'd find yo punk ass." Reggie tsked shaking his head, "now get in the fucking car" he pushed the dude into the car making sure the bag stayed over his head slamming the door climbing into the passenger side, Ray in the driver's side. They'd found their target and was now bringing him to the warehouse via Larry's request. Reggie cleared his throat a bit adjusting the hood to his hoodie, some of locs falling into his face.

"Aye man, have you noticed Blaze's behavior lately? It's like he's calm in situations he shouldn't be... that shit is scaring me" Ray voiced his concern brushing some hair out of his face, his congestion showing slightly in his voice. Reggie said nothing for a moment before speaking in the most serious voice Rayan has ever heard, "The Devil has returned" it sent a chill down Ray's spine.

Rayan was two years younger than Reggie, he was like a little brother to him. He grew up around him seeing as Reggie came from a broken home and Ray's mother took him in like her own. They both were adopted by Larry, him taking them under his wing he kept them out of trouble and out of harm's way: figuratively and literally. The most common mistake they see when it comes to Larry is people thinking he's soft when in reality he's the hardest nigga they know.

Larry was a classified hothead and wouldn't hesitate to beat your ass need be, his mouth spoke words but his fists spoke louder. Reggie recalls that fateful day Larry beat a guy up so bad he almost killed him, if not for Ray and himself pulling Larry off when they did

He just might've

They knew not to fuck around with Larry, it wouldn't end well and they didn't want those problems. Ray has only seen Larry, but Reggie has seen "The Devil" and it's haunted him ever since. Crime rates in Paris had been high for years, until the Devil showed up. Nothing was done without him knowing, he had eyes everywhere. Even if you think he didn't see it

He did

The Devil was respected on the streets and feared by most, not wanting to end up on his bad side they kept the streets clean. If you were caught selling or doing anything that went against his morals, you disappeared: simple and no one said a word. "Yo Ray remember the first night you met him?" Ray winced a bit grimacing at the memory

How could he forget?

They had brought in a dude they'd caught trying to sell on the block, word got back to Larry and he was pissed. Giving the order to bring him back alive, they drug him into the warehouse dropping him to the ground like a sack of potatoes. The man known as Louis whimpered as soon as his body hit the ground, he knew he was fucked

He moved to his knees wildly looking around while crying out in despair "L-Look man, I-I'm s-sorry! I won't d-do it again just p-please! Please let me g-go! I-I got a f-family! A wife and a-a daughter!". Larry who had been lurking in the shadows made his presence known, his hair pulled back letting it cascade down his back to not disturb his mask.

He said nothing at first only snapping his fingers making his ghouls appear lining up against the walls, slowly making his way down the stairs you could feel the atmosphere shift.

He held weight in this room and you could tell

He walked into he stood in front of the man tilting his head at Reggie silently giving him a signal, without a word he moved on command restraining the man's hands behind his back knotting the rope with expertise: this won't his first rodeo. Larry glanced over to Reggie's side casting his dark orbs onto Rayan who looked uneasy, he didn't know it was Larry yet but he'd find out soon enough.

The man continued pleading for his life at the devil's feet while Larry paid him no mind, walking over to his table to pick a weapon of his choice. "So many toys to choose from" he thought to himself

Yet so little time to play

At this moment Larry was a predator and his prey had just stepped into his trap, into his home: he called the shots now. He hummed calmly to himself glancing at Ray beckoning him over by raising his hand curling his finger in a "come hither" motion. It seemed like Ray's feet moved on their own leading him over to his leader. He stood beside him awaiting his order with a "Yes Sir?" Larry nodded in approval in his mind placing a hand onto his shoulder leaning down to whisper into his ear "Agissez maintenant" Ray needed no other words, he walked back over to the man while Reggie stood him up. Cocking his fist back it connected to Louis's jaw causing him to stumble back, Reggie holding his weight before throwing him down again.

"Parfait" he heard Larry purr from behind him followed by a "Take your place", Ray moved into position while Larry walked back over to stand in front of Louis

His left and his right hand, they would remain

He gazed down tilting his head to the side making a tsking sound "what a pleasure for you to join us Traître, like what I've done with the place?" His voice was like venom being spit into Louis's eyes

Yeah he was fucked

The events that took place that night stuck with Ray imprinting images onto his brain he'd hold close to his chest forever. That night showed him what Larry could turn into if fucked with and he honestly preferred not to be on the other side of that mask. He'd never forget the devil and what he was capable of.

They pulled up in front of the warehouse while Ray put the car in park, climbing out they grabbed their prize dragging him into the warehouse throwing him down to the ground. They gazed up while Ray spoke "another one for you Blaze" Larry slowly turned on his heels with his head tilted "Parfait"

Lau awoke to an empty bed with a tray of breakfast replacing Larry,

he hummed softly noticing a card next to the single rose that laid beside the plate. Curiosity striking he grabbed the note picking it up, smiling when he recognized Larry's penmanship

"Morning Bebè,

Had to go to the restaurant for a quick opening, be back in an hour.. enjoy your food

~your Larry

He smiled at this gently picking up the rose giving it a sniff with a giddy feeling running through his body. If only he could pick up on the hints Larry's been putting down. He dug into his breakfast moaning from the taste while glancing around the room. Deciding he'd treat himself to a bubble bath he quickly ate before making his way downstairs to clean up his dishes. Now back in the bedroom he ran himself a soothing bubble bath lighting candles with soft jazz in the back to serenade him.

Climbing in he sighed softly relaxing allowing the water to free his body of any stress he felt. He had another session with Melody in a few days and he couldn't wait to see her, there was so much he needed to say but for now his journal would do. His mind drifting to Larry again

It always seemed to

He thought about what it'd be like to be his, what it was like to be loved by him from an intimate standpoint. He wasn't that oblivious he just didn't want to assume anything that wasn't voiced. He sighed a bit sliding down into the tub a bit more closing his eyes clearing his mind of any thoughts and before he knew it he'd fallen asleep.

Larry gazed down at him brushing a gentle hand across his cheek taking in his beauty, "you were meant to be mine, you should've always been mine" he whispered leaning to kissing Lau so softly melting him from the inside out. He held Lau in his arms running his hands down the arch of his back. In this moment nothing else mattered but him and Larry being together sharing a beautiful moment. "Now that I finally have you, you'll know what true love feels like. I'm going to take care of you bebè, you'll never want for anything because anything you want or need I'll provide." Lau listened to his every word causing emotions to stir within him, true love? He didn't know what that was: until now. Gazing into Larry's eyes he knew automatically that this is where he was supposed to be, in Larry's arms as his one and only. Larry placed gentle kisses down his neck gently holding him tighter "Can I make love to you Belle?" Lau immediately nodded releasing a soft moan "please"

———

Lau awoke to a kiss being placed on his forehead, slowly opening his eyes he was greeted by his twin smiling brightly at him. He must've relaxed a little too good because he woke up in the bed, not the tub where he originated. Now how Larry managed to dry him and clothe him without waking him would remain a mystery. Groaning a bit he sat up stretching his long limbs not missing the way Larry stared at his abs peaking out from underneath his shirt.

Smirking in his head he gazed at his other half leaning up to kiss his cheek which Larry gladly accepted, "hey you, sleep well?" He nodded with a drowsy lopsided grin. "Mhm, when you get back?" Larry sat at the edge of the bed rubbing his blanketed legs "about a hour ago, I no wanted to wake you so I put you to bed so you could sleep better". His heart swelled at this act of affection quickly masking it before Larry could pick up on it

"Thank you, I appreciate that" Larry brushed him off shaking his head at him "anything for you, you hungry?". He moved to say no but his stomach gave him up by growling loudly so he nodded "a little" Larry gave him a playful bewildered look "a little, your stomach wake the whole neighborhood" Lau swatted at his arm rolling his eyes "shut up"

This is definitely where he wanted to be

———

He excitedly raced down the stairs, Afro bouncing in the air as he looked for his twin. All his hard work and sleepless nights finally paid off

He was going to be a lawyer

He did it, he finally did it. Racing around the house quicker than the speed of light "Larry! Larry! I did it!" He heard his voice cutting the corner sharply, he found him in the kitchen looking over some paperwork. "In here Belle!" He practically skipped over to the other beaming, the glow radiating off of him. Larry spun around at the sound of his excited twin, his smile matching his own. "What you do bebè?" Lau jumped up and down like a child, his happiness wouldn't be contained. "I gonna be a lawyer! I did it!" Larry's smile extended as he grabbed Lau basically picking him up and spinning him, once he put him down he cupped his face placing his forehead against his. "I so proud of you Belle! I knew you could do it!"

Lau grinned still bouncing slightly he went to land losing his footing slipping a bit, Larry's reflexes being as quick as they were he caught him holding him close to his chest. They stared into each other's eyes as the room grew silent, their faces inches apart. The energy shifted as they stood there frozen in time getting lost in each other. "L-Larry" Lau whispered trying to bring his brother back to reality but he didn't hear a word that was said. He went to speak getting caught off guard when Larry leaned in kissing him deeply, he was too shocked to move.

He felt himself kissing Larry back moving up to cup his face, he lost himself in the kiss for a few seconds before realizing what was going on. He quickly pushed Larry back stunned "I-I..." turning on his heels he ran off ignoring the shout of "Belle wait!". Slamming the door behind him and locking it, he slid down to the floor of his own room trying to figure out what the fuck just happened

Larry just kissed him...
