Chapter 24

Faline

The boy with the blue hair stayed quiet, letting the boy with the pink hair cry. "I know you're sorry." He mumbled. Faline held onto him, his tears drying out. It was quiet in the room after that, only the sounds of Faline's cries could be heard. 

The sky went dark by the time Faline stopped crying, when did it become nighttime. He wipes his tears angrily. He can't keep crying, that won't help. Being weak is never good. Gucci was still there, rubbing his back and whispering things like, "It's going to be ok," or "you'll get through this." None about himself, which hurt Faline even more. 

He took a second, slowing down his breathing from the staggered gasps to a slow rhythm. He looked at the navy blue bed sheets. He rubs his eyes quietly. "I- you should I told me. I shouldn't have, you- I hurt you." He said, his eyes filling with tears, though he wiped them. He couldn't keep crying. Some words need to be said. "You did." He agreed.

"But I know you need to mean to. Whenever you came over here, it wasn't your intent." Gucci mumbled into Faline's pink and gold jacket. His low voice made vibrations throughout the satin material. He sucked in another sad breath. "I'm sorry…" He mumbled once again, however the other gang leader only hummed. 

"What's his name?"

"What?"

"His name"

"Whose name?"

"Faline…."

"Apollo."

"He's a police officer."

"Yes."

"The most notorious gang leader is in love with the police officer. Hm.." Gucci sat up, and Faline could tell he was hiding. Hiding how he felt. That's what Gucci always did, and Faline never liked it. "What did you do?" He asks, tightening their hug before letting go. 

"I-" He sighed, combing a hand through his pink dyed hair. "I lied to him. The only way to stop the war with the Black Bloods is if the Kitty Gang helps in revenge." He mumbled softly. He didn't want to tell Gucci his mistake. He didn't want Gucci to be disappointed with him. 

"What was the revenge?"

"Trashing the police station Apollo worked at." He hummed, nodding his head. He sat back, Faline wanting to still lay on him, so he leans back as well. "I can see why you did it. The entire war was just a waste of your and Dargan's time, plus too many people died." Faline hummed. 

"But on the other hand that's where they find people to save lives. They would probably have to be deployed from another station, and this is the capital." The boy with pink hair sighed softly. "You need to talk to him." Faline looked up, he didn't expect that type of answer. 

"I don't know where he is or what he's doing. I don't have his phone number or anything." He shook his head. He didn't want Apollo to be mad at him anymore. "Hold on." He murmured, standing up. He walked over to the door, grabbing his blue and gold jacket, before walking out. He probably just chose that jacket to cover himself, but it still made Faline's heart flutter. 

After a minute or so, Gucci walked back in, with Kiyon behind him. He glared at the officer. "Why did you bring him in here?" Faline grumbled, Kiyon just rolled his eyes. Gucci turned to Kiyon. "Your friends with Apollo?" He shrugs. "Used to be, but that asshole-" 

"Hey, look who's talking head!" The two glared at each other as siblings would. "Give me your phone." Kiyon glared at Faline once more, before handing it to Gucci. "Here." He muttered. Gucci seemingly clicked on a couple of digital buttons on the phone, before placing it to his ear. 

"Hello? Is this Apollo?" Faline's eyes widened. Was he going to see him? But he wasn't, he couldn't be ready. "Sorry for the late call. My name is G-" Gucci stopped talking, leaning on the door. He looked at Faline, gesturing for him to be quiet. "Oh yeah, I met her in the mall. She seemed like a sweet girl." He said, false happiness obvious in his voice. 

"Oh no! Not, I just wanted to tell you. I have Faline here, and if you want to come by and pick him up, you guys need to talk." More silence. This silence was getting on Faline's nerves. "Perfect. I'll send you the location. Goodbye." He said, before hanging up. He handed the phone back to Kiyon, before turning to Faline. 

"You need to get ready, he's going to be here in 30 minutes."
