Context: For as long as you've existed, you've grown up in a gang under the care of your immensely protective, loving older brother, and the people that work for him. None of them have ever been particularly nice to you, save for Wes, your brother's personal enforcer. It's largely because of that you've invited Wes out to a diner so late at night. You need to tell him how you feel before it's too late.

Setting: A diner/the city streets

[Scene opens in an old-timey diner late at night]

[SFX: Diner chatter and music]

[The door chime rings and you turn in your booth to see a big, muscled boy loping toward you, hands stuffed in his jeans as he plops down across from you]

[W] “Sup, Little One. You wanted to talk to me? In public, for some dumbass reason, I can’t comprehend?”

[Pause]

[W] “Ohh, you wanted to treat me to dinner, hm? Alright, what did I do to piss off your brother this time?”

[Pause]

[W] “Don’t give me that… I know Xavier tells you everything and there’s no other reason you would want to meet with your brother’s godamn enforcer at a diner close to 2 AM. So just tell me what I did and I’ll do the punishment for it.”

[Pause!]

[W] “OK, OK, damn! Mh. Thanks for ordering me a burger, by the way. Guess you know me too well, eh?”

[Pause]

[W] “True, we did know each other even before your brother took over for your Dad. Xav said you were the one working on those painting replicas to sell on the market. They’re uh… they’re real good, Little One. You’ve got artist blood in you, or whatever.”

[Pause]

[W] “Yeah, yeah, I am abounding with compliments. Now, what did you want?”

[You take a breath and muster every bit of courage you have]

[Long Pause]

[He looks at you, mostly unreadable but also unimpressed]

[W] “So… you’re saying you love me?”

[Pause]

[He lets out a quiet snort before it develops into a full-on laugh]

[W] “Seriously, Little One? Me? Your old brother’s gangster friend? Look, I get it, you’re a nerd, and you don’t get a lot of attention, so you probably thought me being nice was me showing affection. Sweetie, I HAVE to tolerate you. Your brother is my boss. I tell you to fuck off, and I’m on his shit list forever.”

[...]

[Wes sighs and hands you some napkins as tears begin to spill down your cheeks]

[W] “For fuck’s sake, don’t cry… This is a good thing for you. This means you can get over me and go for someone actually worth a shit.”

[Pause!]

[W] I-! Rrgh, I KNOW I’m not shit to you, but I need to be! You hanging out with us is already dangerous. I can’t even believe Xav allows you to do it. Do you have any idea how crazy overprotective over you your brother is? I’ve seen him fucking stab people that looked at you for a few seconds too long…”

[His voice softens and he looks away]

[W] “... That would include me if I got too close. OK?”

[Before you can answer, the door to the diner is flung open and your brother storms in, eyes wild]

[SFX: A diner door chime]

[W] “Speak of the Devil.”

[X] “What the fuck do you think you’re doing with them, Wes?”

[Wes raises his hands for peace]

[W] “Easy, Xav. They wanted to get some food, so we came here.”

[X] “And the fact that they’re crying?”

[Wes frowns, clearly unable to think of a lie, so you make one up for him]

[Pause]

[X] “... Vegetarian panic. Really. So you came in here, got a burger, and then started crying because you realized you were eating a cow?”

[Pause]

[Your brother rubs his face, swearing quietly]

[W] “... You know that dumbass song you love so much about the guy yelling to hide your kids? Yeah. “You are really dumb, for real”. C’mon, we need to get you home. Wes, you’re with us on the security decal, got it? The streets have been real lively tonight and I’ve seen cars patrolling busy roads. Reckon they’re looking to do a drive-by tonight.”

[W] “Fuck. Alright, yeah, c’mon Little One. We need to get you home, where it’s safe.”

[He stands and you throw the bulk of your money on the table, nodding to the waitress as the three of you head out]

[X] “Here, take my coat. It’s freezing out here. You OK? I have water.”

[Pause]

[Your brother’s eyes narrow as he glances down at you]

[X] “...you sure you’re alright… Little One?”

[Pause]

[X] “I know you think I’m being overbearing, but I have to protect you, at all costs.”

[Pause]

[Your brother stops dead and his voice turns cold]

[X] “No, not “just because you make me money”, and how fucking dare you imply that I would ever use you like that!”

[W] “Xav… c’mon, you’re scaring them.”

[X] “How much I love them SHOULD scare them. I’ll burn this city to the fucking ground if someone tries to even touch them inappropriately. I know you don’t like it, sweetie, but it’s my job. OK?”

[...]

[He gently ruffles your hair as the three of you make your way through the city]

[W] “Fucking Indigos have been getting aggressive lately…”

[X] “Pfft, they’re just mad a small-time gang is holding their own against a massive, nationwide gang. C’mon, we can cut through to Main Street here, and then it’s just a ten-minute walk to the hideout.”

[SFX: Footsteps and city ambiance]

[X] “Can’t believe Little One got you eating burgers at 2 AM.”

[W] “Good burgers, at least. Not the worst thing they’ve pitched.”

[The two laugh as you keep silent, trying not to give away how much pain you’re in]

[SFX: Tires squealing]

[You perk as you hear tires squeal toward you. The boys are still laughing and dunking on each other. A black car rolls by, far too slow, and you know what’s about to happen]

[W] “Hey, LO? C’mon, you’re falling behind. Huh? Look out? Look out for what?”

[You run forward and push both of them to the ground]

[X] “What the fuck?!”

[W] “Hey-!”

[SFX: A single gunshot]

[For a moment, you pat your body in a panic and find nothing. You try to breathe a sigh of relief… only to feel blood erupt from your mouth]

[...]

[X] “You assholes dare to fire on me!? On my family!? YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE DEAD, DO YOU HEAR ME?!”

[SFX: Return, automatic gunfire, and tires squealing away]

[X] “COME BACK HERE! I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!”

[You faintly hear your brother sprint after the assailants]

[W] “Xav! Godamnit, calm down, everything’s fi-”.

[Pause]

[W] “What? What do you mean you don’t feel so…good…oh God.”

[SFX: A thud as the Listener slumps to the ground]

[W] “No! No, don’t… don’t you fucking do this to me, Little One, you hear me?! Where’s the wound, can you tell me?”

[You weakly reach up and touch a few inches below your neck]

[W, with actual fear in his voice] “F-Fuck. Shit, OK, keep pressure on it, I’m calling 911, OK? You keep your eyes open, no matter what, I don’t care if I’ve gotta get toothpicks, you keep those pretty eyes open, OK?!”

[Pause]

[Wes hurriedly calls an ambulance (recommended improv, if desired)]

[W] “OK, t-they’ll be here soon, sweetheart, yeah? Hey. Hey! What did I say about keeping those eyes open?!”

[Pause]

[W] “I… I don’t know where the fuck Xavier went. I don’t even know if he realized you were shot. You know how he gets in those red mists. Hey… N-No, c’mon, please stay awake!”

[Pause]

[W] “I know this is the shittiest night, I know, and I’m fucking sorry I contributed to it because I’m so fucking...! You can't... you can't leave me, OK? P-Please. Look, I know I'm a fuck-up and I know I'm mean to you, but I-I...I do... y-you do mean something to...”

[Pause]

[W] “I do mean it. Every word! And I can prove it.”

[He hurriedly fishes around under his shirt and pulls out a necklace with a silly unicorn charm on it]

[W] “You gave me this dumbass unicorn necklace years ago and told me it was good luck. I’ve barely taken it off since. S-See?”

[Pause]

[W] “Y-You can’t see…? Hey! HEY! Little One! No, don't do this to me! C'mon, you're all I ha-!”

[You hear Wes yelling for you, even hear your brother briefly, before you slip away]
