Omniscient
Like a deer in headlights, scared and in shock there sat Pharoah looking at someone he knew his whole life. His heart speeding up as if he was 7 again stealing cookies from the top of the cabinet past bedtime. But a different fear ran through his body- enough for him to push his body off the floor as the premature tears started rushing down his face he held out his hands to brace the man he knew that was capable of a lot with his two hands and anger, Pharoah should've never been here in Dayquellz juniors eyes. But right now he could only think about the black and bruised boy in front of him. The one who lost all his color in his skin, the life in his eyes- he could see every ounce of sleep the boy didn't get through his face- it was tired and lifeless.
Dayquellz never thought first when it came to stuff he seen with his own eyes; right now he seen Pharoah kiari, king- the same boy who he taught how to fight, the one whose punches would hit Dayquellz everyday when he was 13. Shit he knew the boy wasn't soft so why wasn't Layshon wearing any bruises? All of this ran through everyone's head in the speed of light, sadly Layshon never had the chance to even see what was coming.
Dayquellz pushes over king sending the boy on the floor with semi harsh force. Layshon barely got out of bed when he met the rage of the elder boy. All he could see is the scared look on Pharaohs face when he opened the door, the bruises around the same face that could probably get Dayquellz to kill a guy for him, and here it was happening. His fist kept meeting up with Layshon face until the male realized what was happening. Crazy mixed with crazy never went good, especially two different kinds. Untamed crazy in your head vs crazy as a instinct usually look the same, but it sure does come with different levels.
Layshon picked up a glass that might've had water in it, might've had liquor- Dayquellz didn't know it was liquor until the male smashed it on the boys head cutting his skin, then the clear substance started to burn at the fresh cuts. That's where Layshon got his hits in. Where's king? Hyperventaling. Sobbing and on the verge of his biggest mental breakdown in a long time. It was all his fault.
Stupid stupid stupid stupid king, you did this. You couldn't take what you deserve and now Dayquellz is taking your punishment. What if they kill each other? That's blood on your hands king. Kings mouth filled with blood as he bit his lip with pressure. "Lay- p-please just let him.. you gotta let him"
"You fucking called him? YOU TOLD HIM TOO?" Layshon yelled he had stopped fighting Dayquellz and was now focused on yelling at king.
"N-no b-baby I promise! I d-didn't just let him please let him go.. I'm sorry I'm so sorry- I'm so" before king even finished his sentence Dayquellz hit Layshon from behind with his own laptop- Layshon body hit with a thud his head hitting the side of the bed as it did so.
"Don't fucking say sorry he's beating on you! The fuck is wrong with you" Dayquellz barked at king. "Get yo ass up" his usually chocolate brown eyes were pitch black, every vain in his face was popping out and he knew if he went anywhere with that boy it wouldn't end well.
"I c-c-can't leave" Pharoah whispered. Dj dealt with a lot of crazy, but he wasn't going to try to even start considering any of Kings feelings about the man. He wasn't dumb, king was easy manipulated when he was going through an episode- what confused him was why he never woke up to realize that he was being manipulated..why was king not using his fucking brain, why did Dayquellz have to come and save him! Most of all why did it take so long for Dj to find out— Donnie was mad.. he didn't know who to be mad at the fact he let it happen or that king let it happen. Or how good Layshon was getting away with it.
"Listen to fucking me! You are a punching bag! He's treating you like shit! If you want to get treated like shit YOU'RE FUCKING NOT! get yo ass up" he didn't even let king get up he dragged the boy to his feet and pushed him towards the door.
"Quelly I c-can't hes g-gonna be alone" king sobbed as he tried to get around the male who was picking up anything he knew was kings.
"Hold your shit" the brownskin bit shoved Kings items in his arms then turned his boy away from the knocked out Layshon. "Take yo ass to the fucking car, and you're gonna get in it. When I take you to da crib rice gonna fix up yo mental because you're acting like a dumb bitch" every work he spoke came out harshly and laced with anger. If it wasn't noticeable the fact that Dayquellz had to calm himself down every 10 seconds should've gave you the clue that he was pissed.
"Quelly- please I j-just I just hes all alone"
"He will fucking beat you to death! Next time you see ole boy will be at a funeral WALK DOWN THE DAMN STAIRS" he exploded but the glossy light eyes looked at him as if he was saying something wrong.
"What if you were alone and angry at the world?"
"I wouldn't hit the only person who gives a fuck"
Dayquellz won getting king to the car, the crackheads downstairs didn't even notice when he dragged king out by the hoodie Dayquellz let him put over himself due to it being cold outside. Not to mention king was easy to pick up and force into the car. Dayquellz ignored the boy's cries and complaints he ignored he pleas until he got into the car. The only noise being made was Kings sobs and him whispering he's sorry to himself as he rocked a bit. Dayquellz let out a sigh as he sent his dad a text.
To Pops
It's fucking bad yo gimmie my shit back
He didn't even wait for the male to text back he just sped towards his house, "you can't tell my parents- they'll kill him" was the first thing that actually made sense that he had said during the car ride.
"Better them then me" which only sent king into another frenzy.
"No-no you can't, you can't I can't! They can't.. let me out— let me out" king said as he started yanking on the door like an idiot. "I have to w-warn him, I gotta — you guys can't.. he is just lost he needs help let me help him! IMMA HELP HIM" when Dayquellz slammed on the breaks kings body hit the window making him shut up. King body felt like it was on fire not because of the bruises and burns Layshon had left on him, not because of his head now thumping- they couldn't kill Layshon and he knew now that he wasn't in the dark that they were capable of killing Layshon and getting away with it. He couldn't let that be his fault as well.
"GETCHA FUCKING HAND OF DA DOOR" Dayquellz raises his voice just enough for king to slump down in his seat, because loud noises were a trigger but being yelled at happened to be another one. He never actually seen Dayquellz get this mad at him, maybe gale or some random kid who touched his basketball but never king. The boy let the tears fall as he tried to calm down his breathing. Dayquellz acted as if he didn't hear the quiet pleas king was making to him. Both of them were shaking for different reasons, one fear the other anger.
But when they pulled into a familiar driveway king felt as if he was going to throw up. "Come on"
"Please don't tell them, p-please don't Dayquellz please! Y-you know.. t-they will. T-they're g-gonna.. y-you can't" he started getting himself worked up again.
"King take a deep breath, everyone got yo fucking best interest but you!"
"I HATE YOU! I don't need your guys help! I'm fine! I g-got it under control" he sobbed.
"Atleast you alive to fucking hate me, you always so scared of asking for help— it don't make you weak"
"Says the druggie"
"Says the one getting beaten on— let's go dumbass" the only thing that sucked for king is Dayquellz wasn't all the shocked, not with him thinking it's all his fault, not with this situation at all— shit his other father was a psychologist and all had his own private practice, he listened to Maurice better than anyone shit all the kids tended to listen to the calmer ones than the crazy ones. But Maurice had this insight that Dayquellz always loved. The insight in this was, his mind thinks he deserves it. That's what Maurice always had to tell Dayquellz when they were growing up. Why king never fought back at the playground even know he knew how, or why he let people push him around sometimes— usually after he did something bad or got a bad grade. Self punishment .
But nothing Dayquellz brought to Maurice before was going to be like this, Dayquellz could already fear the chaos coming from the house when he dragged king out the car and pushed him towards his own front yard. Nassiah's and Alonso's car was still out front letting him know that they were still there, everyone was still up. He knew why the blank look on King's face couldn't transfer to his eyes, because your eyes couldn't mask this type of fear. When the door unlocked he felt king try to run but the boy pushed him through the door into the house.
"Day day is that you?" He heard Maurice call from the kitchen although most noise was coming from the living room. King stood literally inches in front of Dayquellz hyperventilating with hot tears down his face. Even though he was wearing Dayquellz hoodie the bruises on his face lead down his neck and then appeared on his legs as if they never stopped although clothes covered the area. Dayquellz pushes the boy further in to shut the door and soon Maurice came out of the kitchen with a glass of wine that slipped from his hands seeing what had came of king.
"Oh my god" he gasped making the tv go mute, Maurice rushes over to the boy and studied his face, his blisters and all. "Oh my god" he said again as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Shit Dayquellz couldn't even take it all in.
"Babe what the fuck you oh my god? Junior on that shit" Dayquellz smacked his lips together.
"Y-you guys need to. Oh my god" Maurice spoke once more, probably because he knew what happened next. He knew he wasn't even going to be able to let alone try to stop the three, yes three. Four including Quelly from getting whoever did this head. Maurice closes his eyes for a second and shook his head, Nassiah was going to flip shit- this was king, king was beaten and bruised up.
"What happened junior" Maurice asked as he whipped King'a face. But when Dayquellz junior went to open his mouth anger came out and he started to punch the wall. You know when you feel something was wrong in the seconds of silence? Alonso felt his stomach turn at the way he distantly heard the oh my gods.
"Guys, you guys oh god king, you guys have to see this" Maurice called as he was helping the boy take of the sweater while trying to keep him calm.
"They're going to kill him, please don't let him- they can't, he's just alone.. he's angry his hurt is misplace.. please rice! Rice you know- you gotta know.. you see crazy people.. you know. I know he can be fixed he just needs help he needs help" king sobbed as he held onto Maurice. He wasn't letting him go, the one sane person. The one who could help Layshon? Maurice would understand. Not to mention Dayquellz was punching shit behind the two.
"What the fuck are you doing boy! Shit you fucking fixing my damn walls!" Donnie yelled as him and Nassiah walked towards the doorway.
"Junior you have to tell me what happened" Maurice remained calm his soft voice almost like a peaceful song throughout the room.
"What's wrong with ki- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YO FACE BOY" Nassiah wasted night time making his son look at him as he studied his face. Anger filling the short boy's body his husband has finally entered the room and he got sick instantly. Seeing Kings eyes drained of color and look at him with a pleading look.
"Junior where the hell you found my god son at?" Donnie asked as he placed his hands on his pissed off son. "Use yo words, you know we finna take care of it" Donnie said as he saw the hurt and anger in his sons eyes. "You know you can't get in no trouble Na, who the fuck got king bent up"
"No! N-no, I-I'm fine. Pa I'm fine really it's j-just" king instantly tried to plead his case. "Please pa, it's my f-fault h-he d-didn't mean too" king asked as Maurice rubbed the boy's back. Nassiah looked at his son letting his eyes soften for a bit before anger flashed through them once more, but he couldn't even bring out any words that weren't anger. "Y-you can't! You g-guys gotta l-leave him alone— y-you gotta"
"I don't got to do shit Pharoah" Nassiah's voice was stern and steady but his mind was racing. When his eyes landed on Alonso to see if his husband was on the same page Alonso face had a pondering look on it. But he was surly in deep though- whatever he was thinking have the male an unpleasant feeling. "Babe?" He called out and Alonso's eyes went to Nassiah's for a second before Dj's
"Say it J" he spoke and Dj looked around at the adults.
"I told y'all I went to find king but I called up Jordan his ass wasn't there" he spoke as he closed his eyes. King was trying to break from Maurice's grip but when he did he was only met with his fathers embrace. Nassiah wrapped the boys arms around him rocking his son back and forth as he did when he was a kid when he got too upset.
"I got you king stop fighting me" Nassiah added as dj was trying to tell the story without loosing control of his anger. Donnie kept eye contact with his son although he could tell Dj was itching for a gun, he was itching to shoot. He was gonna get his ass in trouble with this much want for a gun- that's why emotional killers always get caught— emotions cloud judgement if you don't have a plan.
"Pa you can't, I l-love him" king sobbed looking up at his father. Nassiah listened to his son and couldn't help but sigh.
"Listen to me bug, that ain't love.."
"You can't"
"I can't let alone mess with mines you understand that?" Nassiah said and king just looked at his father before he shook his head. Nassiah kept rocking his son in place although king didn't calm down.
"So when I was picking sum up from moms crib, I remember king was with me and he was grilling him down— and shit ain't add up but so I went over to see ma and hev and they was on that shit " Dj explained as he inches a bit, anger and drugs usually went hand and hand and now he was thinking of the stuff he couldn't act on before. "All the shit, perc 30s, then E pills, power all that shit— just out like they knew I was coming" he said before shaking his head.
"It was heaven son wasn't it boy?" Donnie asked noticing his son mind was clouded.
That cleared up Dayquellz mind instantly. "HE WAS FUCKING SLEEP INNA BED! KING JUST ALL BRUISES UP LETTING HIM DO THAT CRYING INNA CORNER! YOU WANNA TAKE MY SHIT" Junior exploded. "what was I pose to do pop? Da drugs downstairs king upstairs ion got no gun! I gotta go handle it" Donnie started, between his addiction and his anger eating him up his mind was split in half.
"Shh day, you did good.. calm down you did good- look Kings right here" Maurice started as he tried to calm down the pacing man who was now making his way up the stairs, Maurice gave everyone a knowing look before going to calm down Dj.
The silence scared the shit out of king, "Dad you're not gonna let them do anything right?" He asked king never had so much hope, Alonso had a way to get people to actually listen to him, to see his side. But his blank face said it all.
"You want us to ignore this Pharoah? To ignore you coming in here black and blue cause you think you love some piece of shit?" Alonso's voice had no emotion really. His eyes held none either, it was as if someone factory reset the male.
"N-no, I'm helping him.. he's hurt— he's had it rough"
"EVERYONES HURT PHAROAH" Alonso snapped making even Nassiah surprise at his husband. Even know anger was filling Nassiah's body he couldn't let go of his son at the moment. As if he didn't want to let him ago, holding him was the only way he knew he was safe. Nassiah also knew if he killed locks son Alonso wouldn't say much, maybe about killing an kid who could've turned around but Alonso didn't play about his kids. But never did he expect Alonso to react like this, Alonso usually never showed his anger so out in the open. Usually he would show it maybe though fucking, or tell Nassiah when they were laying in bed at night. Donnie wasn't as blind, him and Alonso had a different type of relationship- shit they did kill someone together and that body was Alonso's first ever.
When Nassiah went to New York Donnie was no fool to know Nassiah would come back for the darkskin, but he also wasn't a fool to know when Alonso had the anger towards lock in the van that the anger wasn't going anywhere. When Donnie found out about what happened with Alonso's dad and all it made sense where the anger in his heart had came from, but Donnie was a killer much like Nassiah but the different was he was a silent angry person. Nassiah found stuff out because he just knew stuff, but Donnie found stuff out by watching people and listening to stuff around him usually when Nassiah is cursing someone out. Donnie usually finds out peoples trigger as Nassiah is just disrespectful enough to trigger anyone. But in the moment Donnie realized one of Alonso's trigger was abuse. Donnie couldn't help but smile, Alonso was helping tonight forsure.
"E-exactly, I c-can help him.. he just he was sad— he's sad. Someone.. probably you— you probably killed his father" Pharoah said slowly looking at pa. Nassiah shrugged slightly.
"Even if I did, he can beat on you for it!"
"You were lost and confused once! EVERYONE ONE OF YOU! H-hes alone. I-I'm all he has" king pleaded "his anger is is j-just misplace! Y-you c-can't hurt him!"
"Why does his hurt worthy more than yours king huh? Why does his anger get to be put into fucking you? You don't deserve this shit cause you ain't do shit get that out yo head!"
"P-pa" he sobbed.
"He ain't gonna be alone in Hell king, we sent lots of people there and when I die I will send your regards I promise" Donnie said as he touched a few random books on the shelf then pulled out a hand gun tossing it to Nassiah who caught that shit.
"Y-you killed his dad now him!" King sobbed. "You aren't better than him! With your misplace anger and your-
"He ain't kill Layshon a father king shut that shit up, I did you hear me? And I'm gonna kill his son too- no matter how much you fucking cry or any of that" Alonso voice remained cold and made everyone look at him. Nassiah smiles a bit at his husband, even in the mist of all this he was turned on.
"Daddy you killed someone?" King asked in shock.
"His father played around and made my husband be stuck in the hospital for two fucking weeks, you think anyone has time to play in these streets and give someone a second chance because you think you love someone? Ion give a fuck if he got yo ass pregnant some how you ain't bout to let nobody out here beating on you King you fucking hear me?" The boy stayed silent looking at the one person he thought he never hear these words from. "I said do you fucking hear me?"
"Y-yes" king sniffles as Nassiah ran his fingers through his hair which needed to be cut as the curls where coming back.
"Now we ain't finna go do this and get caught, and hevean a whole snitch" Donnie started breaking the tense situation. King looked around as if he was around strangers before pushing out of his fathers grip and going up the stairs, not like he wasn't mad and Dayquellz and Maurice for others taking his side but he couldn't look at them knowing what they were planning to do.
Barging in Dayquellz door where he was laying on his bed hands covering his face as Maurice was still trying to calm him down. Dayquellz lifted his hands and his eyes landed on king more to see who was walking into his room before he put his hands back down his face.
"They're all fucking monsters" king sobbed as Maurice looked at him with his soft eyes which just made you wanna tell him what was wrong.
"Excuse me king, I think I have to return to the adults now" Maurice was against killing by a long shot but he would still make Donnie tell him the play by play 200 times when they were younger so Maurice could atleast try and tweak it so the love of his life was coming home to him. Maurice had compromised a lot when he fell in love with Donnie. But he woke do anything for him and junior so when he went downstairs he went to hear the plan not ridicule like king had hoped.
Even though king hated Dj at this moment that didn't stop him from crawling in the bed next to the male and laying his head on his chest. "I hate you, this is all your fault" he said as Donnie moved his one arm around the boy and the other hand was focusing on wiping the bratts tears.
"I'll take the blame for it" he mumbled as king being here temporarily pushed down the anger.
"They're gonna kill him because you couldn't shut up"
"I can sleep with that, but if you hate me get off me fool" he said although neither of them moved. Donnie dragged his finger up and down the boys spine as king just laid there.
"I can't, you make it feel like it's gonna be okay"
"Cause it is dumbass, I got you forever- then people downstairs do too. All ya gotta work on is you having yourself" king looked up at Donnie and sighed.
"But I really did-
"Shh I know kiari, take yo ass to bed"

• I might have to bring my one shot book up cause I wanted to write about Maurice and Donnie whole I was writing this like I love their dynamic so much oof 😩 " professional twink getting shit pounded by thug " that's they pork title basically.
- surprised how Dj reacted; how do you think him and Kings relationship is gonna differ ?
- how do you think Nassiah is taking it?
- how about Alonso?
-don't you think Maurice and Donnie should adopt a kid Dj all grown up😩 but if y'all don't remember Donnie's daughter did die from a shooting,
-so do you thinks that why they never had another kid?
- also fun fact about Donnie that same daughter wasn't biologically his, he got trapped and shawty lied but by the time he found out she was 3 and he already formed the bond. That was mentioned in the first book somewhere.
- also Naylani isn't really shown a lot but when she is she is shown a lot like her mother but having some natural von qualities, what do you think will become of her? ( her future and life ect ect)
