-THIRD PERSON POV-
"T-TORD!" Tom yelped with a scared bit of joy. The leader ran up to him and gave him a hug. The voided boy was stuck sitting on his bed since one of his wrists was cuffed to the steel bed frame against the wall. "Where's the key?" Tord quickly questioned while making sure Tom was fine. "I-I don't know..." He teared up and looked as well. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" Leader quickly followed up. "N-Not really." Tom shook his head and sniffled. Tord went to a drawer on the other side of the room and searched it, luckily he found the key and was able to get Tom free. "W-Wait what are you doing out of Norway?!" Tom suddenly realized.
"Well I came to save you!" The Leader took Tom's hand and grabbed his things, which were still in the bags from when he arrived home. "M-My father is very angry at me for leaving." The boy hesitated to go downstairs. "Isn't HE the one who forced you?" Tord huffed and protectively led him down. "Y-Yeah but logic d-doesn't apply with him." He clang to Tord for dear life as he saw his father fuming in anger. Luckily the other two soldiers held him back just fine.
His father merely chuckled when he saw his son, probably thinking of awful ways to hurt him. "You little bitch." The dad commented, then just laughed lowly with a few hiccups interrupting. Tom stayed behind the leader and peeked at the violent man in front of him. "You're under arrest for CHAINING HIM TO HIS BED YOU PSYCHOPATH!" Tord hollered furiously. "Well I didn't want him to squirm." He chuckled and struggled. Everyone just paused in a dark quiet moment.
"The hell did you do to him?" Tord said with his darkest and deepest tone, one that you'd probably hear before you die. "Oh he just needed a punishment for being such an awful slut, some people get this done intentionally anyway." The father genuinely didn't seem like it meant very much. "What the fuck did you do?!" Leader growled and slammed the father to the wall by his neck using a single arm. "J-Just gave him an accessory." He choked out, still not taking things seriously.
Tord let go to turn around and give Tom a concerned and inquisitive glare. "H-He's done worse, it's fine really!" The boy slowly lifted his shirt up and winced as the fabric shifted again his chest. "He said if I misbehaved he'd do it before I left, so when I came back it was immediate." Tom stammered a bit. "He gave you a piercing?-" Tord turned back. "YOU GAVE YOUR CHILD A NIPPLE PIERCING?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" He yelled and the father just broke into laughter. "What? It's not even that bad. I just used a needle and a hammer."
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Tord reached behind himself and gritted his teeth, thinking of the pain that had the boy endure. "I could do worse." The dad huffed and shrugged it off. Tord held up his gun and shot a bullet right into the man's skull and Tom yelped and backed up, starting to cry. Paul and Pat just stared down, a little surprised even though they both knew how this was going to end. Tom just stared down at the limp body in front of his dark voids.
"I'm sorry Thomas, it had to be done. We should take you to a hospital to have that ring removed before it gets infected." Leader put a hand on the boy's shoulder as he burst into tears and hugged the only person he could trust, if even that. After the one instance of psychical abuse Tord had shown, and the thousands his father had, the strange Norwegian was in the lead for being the better option. Still not yet a good one though.
"We'll get this situated with the police Sir." Paul reassured him as the two lovers left the crime scene. Tom couldn't help but think that this was all his fault, it seemed so cruel both ways. "Let's find the nearest hospital." Tord sighed and got back into the taxi. "Don't you have to get back to your army?" Tom got in next to him. "I do, but since I'm the Leader I can have people take care of the place for me while I'm away. Right now this is more important." The Leader smiled and looked down at the boy next to him. "I'll be here for the whole month, actually. To celebrate our birthdays." They went to urgent care and had the ring taken care of, now everything was... back to normal? Despite the strange day, the two smiled at each other for awhile and forgot all their problems.
