Elmer POV
"Hey El". Elmer felt his stomach drop as he heard that familiar taunting voice. He kept walking trying to pretend he didn't hear anything and was suddenly aggressively shoved to the floor. "Hey fag I'm talking to you" Elmer looked up at the boy and saw non other than Morris Delancey which meant that not far behind him was Oscar. Just as that thought jumped into his head he he saw the younger brothers head pop up with a threatening sneer on his face. "What are you looking at fag" Oscar said with distaste. Elmer saw Morris pull out his brass knuckles but he didn't feel fear anymore. He was so used to this every day since freshman year. Elmer was now a senior. Four years of not being able to even take his shirt off in front of his boyfriends. The brothers always aimed for Elmer's core so that no one would find out. As the boys started punching, Elmer let his mind drift, every once in a while being jolted back to reality by a particularly painful hit. Soon Elmer passed out and the boys left him in a side alley to wake up.
Albert POV
I walked into our shared apartment late at midnight exhausted and just ready to sleep when i noticed Spot and Race were still awake at the kitchen table worried looks on their faces. They rushed over and pulled me into a tight hug surprising me. Why were they so worked up. It's not that uncommon for me to come home late and they are usually asleep when i do. "Al is Elmer with you" Race asks frantically. I furrow my brow now suddenly starting to feel a little worried as well. "What do you mean, he isn't here yet?" I ask concern clear now in my voice. Elmer was usually the first one to get home and if hes going to be late he would have texted us. " I saw tears pool in Race's eyes as he realizes that something is definitely wrong. Spot pulls Race onto his lap comfortingly as i pull out my phone to try to call him. I find his number and put it on speakerphone and we sit there in total silence waiting for him to pick up. It seems like it was ringing forever with no answer. Now Race is full on crying and clinging onto Spots waist so tightly that Spot looks like he might pass out. I gently pull Race off of Spot tp give him a break and suggest that Spot should check Elmer's location. Spot shakily picks up his phone and gasps when he sees where Elmer's phone is. "He's in brooklyn" Spot says with a tinge of fear in his voice as his eyes fill with tears. Brooklyn was the most dangerous place to be at night and especially for someone like one of them who were gay and polyamerous. Things like that didn't go over well with the gangs in brooklyn. That's why spot had to give up his spot as the leader of the most dangerous respected gang in all of New York. Not only that but the Delanceys had taken a liking to brooklyn when spot moved away and the four boys did not have a plesant history with the brothers.
