Blood.

It was all you could see, all that was around you, all that stained his clothes.

How had it come to this?

Deuce had always been a little rough, a little wild no matter how much he tried to hold it back, and at one point you would've said that you loved him for it. Even yesterday, if someone would've asked, you would've said with confidence that you loved your boyfriend for it and how safe it made you feel to have him with you.

That... you couldn't say that was the case. Not anymore.

You had come back to Ramshackle early, a bit unusual for your schedule, but a welcome change. You had expected to see Deuce there, of course, as you had given him a key quite a while ago.

What you didn't expect, was to see him covered in blood and grime, the room around him in a similar state. It wasn't the time, but you couldn't help but wonder how you'd be able to get all of that out of the carpet.

"Hm? Oh, love! You're home early!" He laughed nervously, bringing a hand to the back of his neck only to jolt away from it when he realized there was still blood covering it.

"Ahahaha... this... isn't what it looks like...?" He tries, anxiety written on his face as it's clear looking at the scene that something horrible transpired here.

Deuce quickly realizes that no excuse would be able to cover this up, and he visibly deflates as he sighs out a heavy breath, slight flush to his cheeks as it seems that tears come to his eyes.

"Listen, I know what this looks like- I swear, just let me explain and it'll all be fine! It was for you, I promise!"

Though reluctant at the sight of his crazed, desperate look, you end up agreeing after talking in circles for several moments. He wasn't going to let you just leave after stumbling into this, obviously, and it's not like you even had anywhere to go.

Even without that, though, you couldn't deny that his trembling frame and teary face made you feel slightly guilty at the thought of leaving. It wouldn't hurt to just let him say his piece, right...?

He thanks you, profusely, when you say that you'll hear him out.

"Oh, you have no idea how grateful I am to hear that! Of course, you're perfect, of course you would say yes. This is why I love you, you know?" He sniffles, moving ever-closer to you. "Really, it's not even a big deal, it was just someone getting in the way, you know? Ace even agreed with me, hahaha!"

"I just had to teach 'em a lesson, y'know?"

When you ask what he meant by that, he looked even more uncomfortable than when you first wandered in - a sharp and sudden contrast to the almost reverent look he had when he was praising you. Even if it was sweet, you knew that you had to push, just a little further...

"What's it matter?" Is what he decides on replying, scowl tugging at his features as he assesses you carefully. "It's not like they were anyone who mattered."

"It's better if you just stay by my side and let me take care of it anyways, darling. It's pretty lonely here at Ramshackle all alone, huh? Why don't you let me keep better watch of ya?"

"'Sides, I love you. It just makes sense for us to stay together, doesn't it? You've never had a problem with me being wild before, what's the difference now?"
