Where's the harm in a walk in the park? {Jimmy}

[CALEB DARLING]

Caleb had been locked up in the apartment for several nights now. Freude had stressed to him that it was most important that he didn't go out after dark. Seeing as Caleb wasn't much of a night person, he had agreed without a thought about it. But after several nights now, especially nights on which Freude was off doing whatever it was he did for Jimmy, Caleb was beginning to get restless.

He didn't want to go and party, or anything ridiculous like that. He just wanted a little fresh night air. Plus, Copper was always needing to go out for a little nightly potty break. Caleb hated having to set out newspapers for the puppy to do his business on.

He'd resisted the urge to take Copper out on a night's walk for a few nights now. He didn't want to disobey Freude, he knew the other boy was only looking out for him. But it wasn't like Caleb was a small child. He could take some care of himself, despite popular opinion.

Freude had been out for about two hours now, and the apartment was quiet, other than the Notebook playing on ABC family and Copper rolling around on the floor. Caleb wasn't really in the mood for the Notebook, not again. He didn't even cry at the worst scene. He was bored with it. Bored with staying inside all night waiting for Freude.

Sighing inwardly, he got up off of the couch, turning the tv off and pulling his shoes back on.

"Come on, Copper. Let's go for a walk in the park!" He said down to the small pup. Copper immediately rolled onto his stomach and got up on his legs, following Caleb towards the door. "We'll be back long before Freude." He reasoned with the puppy, although he was thinking this more to himself. Hooking the leash onto Copper's collar, he opened the front door, closing and locking it behind him.

Smiling to himself as they made the walk to the park, he breathed in the slightly cooler night air. Nothing to worry about. Freude wouldn't even know he'd left, and he could prove to himself that he could take a little care of himself for once.

He reached the park without any incidents, which was what he'd expected and sighed out happily, proud of himself almost. Copper was busy tugging around on the leash, sniffing everything in sight. Caleb obliged the little pup calmly, glancing around at all the completely safe, totally harmless park-goers around him.

Take the north of the city, I'll take the strip and the south. Jimmy said, sending Freude and a couple of others off to the north to find out more about some kid who wanted to join the Suits. Not important enough for Jimmy to go personally, but Freude would be enough. The other boy knew exactly what Jimmy liked, the way Jimmy liked it. He would trust Freude with his life, if there wasn't an itsy bitsy problem separating the duo. Caleb Darling.

Urgh.

The small blonde had wormed his way into Freude's life without Jimmy's permission. It was sickening. It was...just wrong. Jimmy slid on his jacket, silently contemplating when an idea came to him. Picking up his phone he called a couple of guys who were supposed to be having the night off. They were going to hunt this boy down and get rid of him once and for all. So Freude could focus on what was really important. The Suits.

Biting his tongue he made his way out of Amnesia, collecting his gun and his keys along the way. Picking up the two men he drove as fast as he could to Freude's apartment, not bothering to knock as he kicked open the locked door. But Caleb wasn't there. Jimmy whistles a few times, but the dog that was always so angry with him, didn't come. Caleb must have taken it for a walk. Jimmy smirked, so Freude didn't have complete control over the other boy just yet.

Calling to the other two men he ordered them to split up and head for the park, hoping at least one of them would find Caleb before Freude did. Jimmy tapped his fingers impatiently in his sleeve as he walked through the park, on high alert, just in case.

But he began to grin as he spotted Caleb all alone with the small dog, acting as if they owned the whole fucking world. Jimmy couldn't have that. Walking briskly up behind Caleb he covered the boy's mouth with his hand and dragged him as quickly as he could behind a few bushes. If you scream, I'll rip your throat out with my bare hands, do you understand? he snarled, waiting for Caleb to not before releasing his hand from the boy's mouth. Now, Darling, what do you say to getting to know each other a little more before I kill you? Jimmy drawled, one hand pressed down on Caleb's chest to stop him moving, the other gently caressing the pale cheek brushing a stray lock of hair from Caleb's face.

[CALEB DARLING]

Caleb was keeping track of the time with his phone, trying to make sure that he would have enough time to get back to the apartment before Freude did. He never really knew when the other boy would be home, was the problem. He was pretty sure it would be much later, though, and so he continued along in the park, stopping to pick up a dandelion and blow on it, giggling as the wind blew some of it back at him.

Copper was hopping around at his feet making it difficult for Caleb to walk without tripping over the leash. "Slow down." He huffed at the puppy as it pulled at the collar and Caleb tried to trot along with it. He slowed a bit when he thought he heard something coming up behind him and turned just at the moment Jimmy was covering his mouth up. Out of surprise he let go of Copper's collar, and squeaked as he watched the puppy continue to trot off towards the tree it had been looking to sniff.

Struggling frantically as Jimmy pulled him behind the bushes he attempted the bite the boy's hand, only stopping frightfully when he threatened to rip his throat out. Caleb didn't think that was physically possible but he wasn't really eager to find out. Trembling visibly at what Jimmy said, his eyes grew wide,

"J-jimmy, you wouldn't. F-Freude's your best friend. You c-couldn't kill someone your best friend l-loves." He stammered out breathlessly, pushing Jimmy's hand away from his face defiantly.

He couldn't kill him. He just couldn't. He wouldn't do that to Freude, right? Caleb wasn't as sure as he'd like to be, and his eyes were beginning to water dangerously.

Jimmy sneered, watching the other boy trembling was the icing on the cake. He was going to enjoy this, and he knew it. How many times do I have to tell you, Cookie? Freude doesn't love you. Jimmy said exasperatedly as his fingers tapped dangerously over Caleb's throat. The taller man smiled, clicking the bones in his fingers into place before leaning forward, his entire weight pressed down on the other.

Freude's so sick of you, you know. All you do is complain to him, ask him to do everything for you. Apparently you've even planned out your own wedding - as if Freude is ever going to ask someone like you! Jimmy chuckled lightly to himself, tapping Caleb's cheek with his long slender fingers. Freude is better off without a little shit like you hanging onto him. Even his mother thinks so. This, of course, was a complete lie. But Jimmy had no intention of telling the truth.

If you called for help, he wouldn't come. He's too busy killing other people to even notice you're missing.

[CALEB DARLING]

Caleb's bottom lip started to quiver as well when Jimmy didn't start to let-up at all. He wanted very badly to believe that this was just some sick Jimmy-like joke. Surely the boy wasn't actually going to...to kill him? Caleb opened his mouth to tell the boy for the nine hundredth time NOT to call him Cookie, but his words dried up very quickly as Jimmy's finger trailed along his throat, as if they could just tighten around it at any moment and suck the air out of him.

Yelping slightly as Jimmy put all of his weight on him, he huffed out weakly. He had known he and Jimmy never saw eye to eye, but he didn't know that the other boy's hatred of him would go to this extent. He had always hoped that maybe deep, deep down Jimmy had SOMETHING good in him, but he couldn't see that as he stared timidly up into the other's face. He didn't see any hint of sensitivity or care. Nothing. Nothing but that evil smirk that made him tremble even more.

Tears had already started to roll down his cheeks as Jimmy was saying everything he could possibly think of to hurt him.

"St-stop." He whimpered helplessly, sniffling miserably. "Please stop." He whined, pleading with Jimmy like he hadn't ever before. He'd never been one to give into Jimmy, he wanted to make the other think he could take it. But he couldn't this time. This time he was really terrified, and he couldn't think of anything worse then never getting to see Freude again. And all because he didn't listen to the boy. He hated himself for that. Freude was always right, and he had to go and test that.

"I-if Freude doesn't love me, I-I'll have him tell me himself, okay? Y-you're the only one who's t-telling me differently. And I'm definitely not going to take your word over Freude's. S-so, just let me go! B-because you could really hurt Freude if you do this." He was sputtering out between sniffles. He really wished Jimmy wasn't holding him down so he could wipe the tears blurring his vision and running across his face.

Jimmy frowned, eyes narrowing as he listened to Caleb talk. Hoe did the boy talk so much rubbish? How on Earth had Freude put up with it for so long? Was the other boy really in love? No, that was impossible. They had vowed as children never to fall in love. Love just got in the way of everything. Jimmy frowned for a moment, sitting up as he felt the vibration of his phone in his pocket. Sliding it out he took one quick glance at it and scowled. One new message from Freude. Jimmy clicked a few buttons on his phone to open up the message and cursed under his breath - finished the job, on my way home, see you later? - Freude was not going to be happy when he returned to the flat.

Jimmy needed to finish the job.

He tucked his phone away and grinned down at Caleb, Sorry Dollface, I'm on a tight schedule. Lets get this over and done with, he sneered pulling out his gun and clicking it against the side of Caleb's head. Nothing can save you now, Cookie. Not even your precious Freude.

[FREUDE WAYLAND]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Freude sighed, running his hands through his hair as he cleared up another body. The man hadn't been quite up to the job and when Freude had refused to let him join the suits he became a little...forceful, threatening Freude with a knife. Freude had given the boy one look and shot his straight between the eyes, no one threatened Freude and got away with it. Pushing the body into the hole in the earth outside he let the two other guys fill it in, taking out his phone to send Jimmy a message. He wouldn't leave anything to chance and made sure the body was completely covered before heading off on his own.

He was going to go back to the apartment, have a nice warm shower and then curl up on the couch with his boyfriend, a can of beer and a movie. He smiled at the thought, sliding into his car and speeding off towards his home. He was so distracted by the thought of his shower that it took him a good five minutes to realise the door was already unlocked. That was strange, he was sure he'd asked Caleb to keep it locked. Steeping into the apartment his concern grew when he wasn't greeted by an excitable puppy. Caleb? I'm home, he called, opening the door to the bedroom, expecting them both to be in there. But the room was bare. He looked in every room, but still he couldn't find them. Then he noticed the dog's lead missing from the hallway. Shit, Freude cursed, exiting the room as fast as he could.

Caleb was at the park, with the dog. Freude just hoped nothing bad had happened.

He made it to the park in record time, heart thumping in his chest as he raced in, almost tripping over Copper who was sitting patiently by the gate, no doubt waiting for Caleb. Freude gathered the puppy up in his arms and received a tongue to the ear. Hey, Copper. Where's Caleb? he asked the puppy. Cooper cocked his head to one side and then scrabbled to the floor, shooting off into the park. Freude cursed again, jogging after the puppy who stopped by a large tree. Was Caleb around this area?

Freude contemplated calling out, but there was something very weird about this situation. He pulled out his phone and dialled Caleb's number, waiting for it to ring. If Caleb was in trouble, he wouldn't answer and if he was, well Freude just hoped to hear Caleb's voice at the end of the phone. But the voice never calm. Instead Freude heard the faint sound of the other boy's ringtone coming from one of the bushes.

What the f- Freude began as he pushed away a few branches to see Jimmy on top of a terrified Caleb. Freude didn't even waste his breath, instead he launched himself at his friend, knocking him off Caleb. Get up, he hissed at Caleb, just as Jimmy's fist collided with the side of his face.

The two grappled with each other, swearing and spitting until Jimmy had a cut lip and Freude had blood pouring out of his nose. But Freude was determined, no one threatened his boyfriend and got away with it. Not even Jimmy. The two fought for a moment longer until finally Freude's foot connected with Jimmy's shin and a sickening crack told him that he had broken the other's leg. Jimmy collapsed to the floor as Freude pressed his gun to the other man's head. You're sick, he spat, his finger close to the trigger. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow your brains out.

Wiping blood from his nose with the back of his hand, Freude gave one backward glance to Caleb. Could he really kill someone in front of the other boy? Probably not, and Freude knew that Jimmy could see that weakness. But Jimmy was going to kill Caleb, so why couldn't Freude make the score even?

[CALEB DARLING]

Caleb's heart practically stopped when he heard the gun click, and felt the cold metal of the end of the barrel pressed against the side of his head. The breath he'd been exhaling turned into a shutter, and he found himself unable to move. That was it. He was going to die right now. He didn't even know what to think about it. Being an optimist, he'd never really thought about death. He didn't know what to say or do before he took his last breath, he just kind of stayed stiff where he was, eyes focused somewhat miserably on Jimmy's face. He was not the last thing Caleb wanted to see before dying. He didn't want that face to be the end. So, after a quick second of though, he closed his eyes and he pictured Freude. It was funny, they said life was supposed to pass before you eyes when you died. The only thing that passed by Caleb's was Freude...

A sound went off from his pocket, and his heart stopped again. He'd thought it was the sound of the shot for a moment but then the upbeat Jesse McCartney song started playing on the phone in his pocket. He reached for it instinctively before he heard someone approach the bush, and his eyes lit up immediately when Freude came through them.

Scurrying up onto his feet after Freude had knocked Jimmy away from him Caleb stepped back and away from the two. Taking a sharp breath in as Jimmy punched Freude, he took a step towards them, realizing he wasn't going to help Freude much and then stepping back again. Caleb's eyes widened as Freude pulled out a gun of his own and pressed it to Jimmy's head.

"Fr-Freude. He's not worth it...Don't waste a bullet on that please." Caleb begged, mostly afraid that Freude would be hauled off to jail. Eyes growing watery again, he took a step toward the other boy. "C-can we just go home? Please? I just wanna go home..." He sniffled looking down at his feet. He couldn't help but feel the guilt from earlier, of not doing as Freude had told him to. This was all his own fault...

[FREUDE WAYLAND]

Freude was breathing heavily, the gun still pressed against Jimmy's head. He looked over to Caleb once more; the other boy was right, Jimmy wasn't worth it. The other man was grinning from ear to ear, clearly he knew Freude wasn't going to kill him. Which infuriated Freude even more. The tall boy dropped the gun to his side for a moment, taking a step away from Jimmy. He frowned and tucked the weapon away, If you ever come near Caleb again, I will kill you. he said defiantly. Jimmy only smiled, clearly not too bothered by the threat.

Freude shook his head and turned, taking Caleb's arm and leading him safely out of the park in silence, making sure Copper was following obediently behind - even the small dog seemed to realise Freude was not in the mood for games.

Biting his tongue he took Caleb back to their apartment, closing the door behind them; taking his gun from his pocket he threw it down onto the table. Pulling his shirt from his head he used the material to wipe the drying blood from his nose and from his lip. Walking to the fridge he opened it up, pulling out a can of beer and cracking the seal open. Moving back to the couch he almost threw himself onto the soft furniture. Before patting the space next to him for Caleb to join him.

He didn't want to be angry, he just wanted to keep Caleb close. Keep him safe. Are you alright? he asked softly, offering Caleb a little of his beer - doubting the other would take a sip, but it was nice to offer.

[CALEB DARLING]

Caleb stood frozen off to the side as he waited to see what Freude was going to do, his eyes pleading with the angry boy to let Jimmy go. It wasn't like Caleb really cared what happened to Jimmy now, but he didn't want it to be at Freude's hand. He didn't want any chance of Freude being taken away from him. Letting out a shaky, but relieved breath, as Freude tucked the gun away he took another step away, ready to leave the park with Freude and just get back to the comfort and safety of the apartment.

Glancing up to Freude, who lead him silently away he studied the boys face. He really hoped the boy wasn't too mad with him. Caleb had, after all, done something he'd told him not to. It was a lot of his own fault. Staying silent as well, though he just walked alongside Freude, just glad to be away from that awful boy who he usually called a friend.

Taking a glad step inside the apartment, Caleb stood still for a moment, watching Freude move about, face guilty. Once Freude had seated himself Caleb finally moved, walking slowly over to the couch and settling in next to Freude, biting into his lip, head moving to rest in the crook of the boy's neck as it so often did. His eyes slid up to Freude's face then and he sniffed lightly, nodding,

"I'm alright." He assured the boy, arms wrapping around Freude's middle, "I'm sorry I went out." He finally said, eyes slipping down to his own lap, ashamed. "This is my fault." He mumbled.

Freude let out a breath, wrapping one of his arms around the smaller boy as the other held his beer. He kissed the top of Caleb's head briefly before kissing his nose. You don't have to apologise, he said, smiling softly and giving the boy a quick squeeze. I should have explained myself better; rather than just expect you to do it without question. Freude took another sip of his beer, letting the metal clink lightly onto the coffee table as he placed the can down.

After a moment of silence he untangled himself from the other boy and walked over to the tv; he had just the thing to put Caleb in a good mood. Rummaging through their ever-growing DVD collection, Freude pulled out Beauty and the Beast and placed it into the disk drive - hoping Caleb hadn't seen it until it came on the screen. Lumière and Cogsworth dancing accross the screen.

Smiling at Caleb he jogged quickly into their room and pulled the duvet from the bed and threw it at his boyfriend; then he grabbed the cookie jar from the cupboard and placed it on the coffee table with his beer. Settling back down on the couch he pulled Caleb onto his lap and wrapped the duvet around them both, nuzzling his nose into Caleb's neck, kissing the skin lightly. Have I ever told you how beautiful you are? he whispered softly, pressing play on the remote and leaning back against the couch.

Propping his feet on the table he closed his eyes, pretending to snore as the opening credits began. He didn't really hate Disney, not that much, but it was fun to wind Caleb up.
