AN: I do not own the song Partners in Crime, or any rights to the song. I've just been obseesed with it and since Roman Ice Cream fits perfectly I decided to write a fic for it based on the song whilst listening to it on loop.
"You'll never take us alive." Neopolitan sang, lacing up her boots, preparing to go on a dust heist with her husband, Roman Torchwick.
"We swore that death will do us part they'll call our crimes a work of art." Roman continued the song, polishing his cane and loading it with ammunition.
And they did, six months ago Neo and Roman said "I do, until death do us part." They were partners in crime for life now, literally.
"You'll never take us alive." Neo kept singing, putting on her blazer.
"We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers, partners-"
"Partners in crime!" They both sang on their way out the door. Neo stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek before getting in the car.
They drove around to the back of the dust shop. They grabbed their weapons and headed for the back door.
"On my count..." Roman whispered, "One...two...go!" he shouted bursting the door open.
"Everybody freeze! Nobody move!" Neo threatebed, pointing the sharp end of her umbrella in the direction of the staff and shopkeep.
"Put the dust in the bag or I will shoot!" Roman added, pointing his cane at the older gentleman behind the counter, who shakily emptied his dust into his bag.
"That's not all I want... you know what else I need! Give me the code for the vault and me and my doll will be on our way." He snarled, holding out his hand. The shopkeep opened a drawer and pulled out a piece of paper, putting it into Roman's hand.
"Neo, the vault!" he called handing her the paper. Neo nodded and ran downstairs, Roman following behind. They used the combination on the paper to open the vault and made quick work of emptying it. All seemed to be going well, so far that is.
Until, the alarm sounded.
"Where are we gonna go?" Neo asked, panic rising in her eyes.
"I don't know, if we go upstairs he'll have us pinned." Roman sighed.
"Baby I'm a little scared now" She moved closer to him.
"Come on Neo, you really think we're gonna give up that easy? just follow my lead and we'll be out of here with our treasures in no time" He assured her, "Now, we're just gonna have to book it, if we meet opposition, fight it off as best you can okay?"
"That's your plan?"
"It's the best I've got so unless you've got something better we're doing this."
They bolted up the stairs simultaneously, only to be met by the police.
"Partners in crime, let's do this." Neo smirked and launched at one of the officers, knocking him down, then promptly stabbed him with her umbrella. Meanwhile, Roman shot two in the head. It didn't take long for them to clear away the rest of the officers on the scene. Once there was nothing left but blood and broken windows, Neo and Roman made a run for it. But what they didn't know, is that vulture grimm were circling the shop outside. As they were about to get in the car, one had locked eyes on them, and swooped down, ready to kill.
"NEO LOOK OUT!" Roman pushed her out of the way, but in turn, he was impaled in the shoulder by the vulture's talons. When he looked up, all he saw was a beak rushing at him.
"ROMAN!" she screamed, but stood there in shock, as the vulture pierced his chest with his beak. Neo kneeled beside him, tears in her eyes
"Death...will do...us...part...w-we swore it..." Roman whispered between breaths,
"No...Roman you can't! I need you!" Neo cried.
"Partners in crime Neo, always remember that..." he smiled, taking his final breath. Neo fell on him sobbing, as she watched him close his eyes. He was gone, her partner in crime was gone. They swore death would do them part, and it did. She lay on top of him crying until more sirens could be heard. She quickly slid the ring off of his finger, and took his hat off of his head, she pushed back the bright orange hair that covered his one eye and gave him one last kiss on the forehead, "I love you Roman." She whispered before getting in the car and making her escape.
