that night, the gang fight would happen. The first gang fight ever since the deal with Ivan. Tino had gone to speak with Romano and of course Berwald went with him. That left Emil, Mathias, and Lukas by themselves. "Maybe we could get our hands on some newspapers." Lukas suggested. "Yeah, but who's gonna read it? Tino's the only one who can fluently read and you can read just a little bit, but not much." Mathias replied. "Is Emil still asleep on that couch? We should really carry him to bed or something. He'll get back pains." Lukas said. Mathias picked Emil up and set him on the bed in the other room. "Alright, now that the kid's out cold and in bed, I think it's time for some fun, don't you think?" Mathias asked. Lukas smirked. "Come on, idiot." By time they were...finished, Berwald and Tino were home and making dinner. "Who's hungry?" Tino called. Obviously, Lukas, Mathias, and Emil came in like puppies about to get a treat. "So how'd it go with Romano?" Mathias questioned. "Fine. That guy's not as scary as he thinks. Honestly, I have no idea why he's even trying. He's rediculous!" Emil slammed a fist on the table. "He's a murderer." He said quietly. "He's a murderer, a liar, and a heartbreaker without any mercy. Sending his hitmen everywhere, killing his victims himself even! He's after secrets. We know that. He's after secrets, and he wants it to get bloody. That's all we know, and all we'll ever know about him. He's a snake, and you shouldn't trust anyone, or anything. What he did was all an act. Trust me.I remember when the gang started off as just you, Berwald, and Mathias. Mathias had been walking by and noticed us, luckily. We were attacked. In fact, we almost died that night. But because of the Dane picking up some booze, we're alive. Romano himself told me that night, that if he ever saw me again he'd give me hell. Why do you think I never come to fights when we're fighting the mafia? Because it makes me sick to my stomach. It makes me sick, and I try to sleep it away while you all risk your lives because it's 'gang nature' and then you come home and say it's no big deal that you almost died and came home with some sort of injury. Thank you." He said. Honestly, it felt good to vent like that, but now they knew the truth. "Emil..." Tino started, but then stopped himself. "I'm coming to the fight, and I'm slaughtering that snake myself." Emil said, before walking out. "But I made muffins..." "NOT NOW BERWALD!"

an: sorry for the late response! I have no idea how to get this to 50 chapters but I'm doing my best. if anything, the gang fight should be pretty lit and I understand that like 2 thirds of this chapter was just emil ranting oops. anyway, bye! oдo
