words: 1.5k+

You have been by Fezco’s side since childhood. The two of you going through thick and thin together. But at the two of you grow up it’s hard to keep the lines between friendship and love blurred.

You had known Fez since the two of you were kids. You’d grown up in the house next door to his grandma. You remember how quiet he was when you first tried to play with him. Those blue eyes shone towards you and the freckles that danced along his skin. You didn’t understand it then, but now you knew, Fez was your person.

You helped him with Ashtray after he just suddenly appeared in his and his grandma’s life. It fascinated you how much older he acted even though he was still a kid. And when his grandmother got sick and he had to take over the family business, you were there. He never involved you in the business aspect but you made sure to keep an eye on Ash whenever he needed it.

The only one he trusted fully outside of his family. He knew that you’d be by his side no matter what. Fez cherished the friendship that was between the two of you. Even if the two of you knew deep down there was something more there.

Fezco remembers his grandmother telling him to never fall in love. That it was an emotion that he couldn't trust. But that rule didn't apply to you.

Fez was someone you could read like the back of your hand. This is why you couldn’t understand why you didn’t catch what was going on.

You should’ve known the moment he took his sweater off. But you watched as he moved through the crowd of people towards the other side of the room. Your stomach dropped for a second when you saw who he was walking towards. To say Fezco has been tense the last few weeks since the raid would be an understatement.

Your attention was pulled away when you heard your name being whispered harshly in your ear. You turned your eyes to see Ashtray beside you.

“Car is leaving soon if you want a ride outta ‘ere,” He spoke, his face cast in complete seriousness.

Before you could even say a word he was gone, disappearing into the crowd with his bag strapped at his back. You stood from the chair you were sitting at and looked towards Lexi. She had the same look on her face as well.

“Catch you later, Lex” You spoke.

You didn’t follow Ash like you knew that you should’ve. But your gut told you that Fez needed you. So you stayed.

The moment you saw the bottle crash across Nate Jacob’s face it was like everything moved in slow motion. You watched as Fezco’s fists met with Nate’s face over and over again. The room exploded into chaos as you heard Maddy and Cassie scream. The moment Nate was thrown to the ground you moved through the crowd and pushed people out of your way. You saw Cassie try and push Fez off but only was thrown to the ground herself.

“Fez! Fez!” You screamed the moment you were close enough. You saw the blood across his knuckles and the floor, spraying into the air every time his fist landed. Your hand wrapped around his arm and pulled on it.

Fez looked up towards you and his eyes were dark and his face cast with a look that you were familiar with. A look that you knew that his anger was at a point of nearly no return.

“Let’s go!” You shouted and pulled on his arm again.

Fez moved from atop of Nate Jacob’s and allowed you to pull him out. You looked over your shoulder and watched as Maddy and Cassie tried to carry Nate out. The moment you walked out into the cool air it was like for a moment you were able to breathe.

Fez reached down and grabbed your hand and pulled you towards the car, Ashtray already behind the wheel with the car already running. Fezco slid into the passenger seat as you climbed into the back. Ashtray didn’t even wait for the doors to be closed before he was peeling out onto the road. The entire drive back to the house was tense and silent.

Fezco could feel the anger radiating off you as you sat in the backseat, face turned to look towards the window.

When the three of you got back to their home you immediately searched for the first aid kit that was in the bathroom. When you walked back out you saw Fezco in the kitchen and Ash sitting in the living room. He warily looked between the two of you. It was rare for either of you to be mad at the other. But whenever it happened he knew it was best to stay out of it.

You scoffed as you watched him try to clean the blood from his hands in the kitchen sink.

"Stop it, you're going to make it worse." You spoke before grabbing his hands and turning off the sink.

"I got it ma," Fezco mumbled but stopped talking the moment you looked up towards him through your lashes.

"I can't believe you fucking did that." You spoke, your tone was even and it sort of scared Fez. He felt it would be better to have you screaming at him.

"He had to be taken care of. You know I 'ouldn't let that shit go." Fezco explained as you reached to grab a few cotton pads and the rubbing alcohol. He hissed the moment it was pressed against his bruised skin.

"Nate's dad owns half this fuckin' town, Fez. If he wanted to he could have your ass in prison before you knew it."

"That ain't gonna happen, ma."

"How do you know that?" Your voice rose and you stepped back away from him. You could feel the tears rising to fill your eyes.

Fez pushed off the counter and moved towards you the moment he heard the sniffle.

"Don' cry...please, know I hate that..." He spoke softly, his arms wrapping around you and pulling you close.

You shook your head and stepped out of his arms before reaching back into the first aid kit. Fez stood by and watched as a tear moved down your cheek. He didn't know what to do. He didn't regret what he did to Nate Jacobs. He had it coming the moment the cops were pounding on his front door.

"Ion know what you want me to say, y/n" Fezco spoke softly

"You don't have to say anything." You shook your head, making sure to clean off his knuckles, before applying the ointment. "Just was scared...usually you tell me things."

Fezco shook his head, "Not this time. Had to keep you safe."

"Same reason I couldn't come tonight to meet the new supplier?" You cocked a brow as you wrapped his knuckles. Fez looked towards you confused. "Ash told me."

Fez clicked through his teeth, "Don' listen to the kid. He 'on know what he talkin' bout."

You rolled your eyes and cleaned up the supplies. "Don't play that shit with me Fez. I've known what's up since we were kids. I don't know why you try and keep me in the dark."

"Cause I gotta protect you from shit sometimes."

Fezco reached and gently brushed the hair that had fallen into your face away. His eyes softened as he looked towards you and slowly you could feel the anger you had fade. It truly was hard for you to be mad at him.

You loved him.

"Who's gonna protect you then?" You asked, "Who's gonna protect you from shit?"

"That not ya job," Fezco spoke

"Why not? I can't stand by and let things happen...not when that could result in not having you anymore. Cause that can't happen, Fez, I can't lose you."

He softened and moved towards you again, holding you tightly as he pressed you against the counter. You could feel the edge of it pressing into your back but you didn't care. The smell of his cologne and weed surrounded you and began to calm you slowly.

"You're not gon' lose me." Fezco spoke, "Never, you hear me?"

You nodded your head against his chest before closing your eyes. Standing there in his arms calmed you a little bit but in the back of your mind, you knew that the threat of what happened tonight still loomed.

"Now let's get some sleep, ok?"

You pulled away and nodded your head, "Gonna shower quick first."

Fezco stood there and watched as you disappeared down the hall before turning into the bathroom. He let out a deep and heavy sigh before walking towards the living room where he knew Ash still sat. Ash looked towards him with a blank look on his face.

"You got somethin' to say too, kid?" Fezco spoke after a long moment of silence.

"When are the two of you gonna finally pull your heads outta ya'lls asses and just say how ya feel?"

Fezco's brows pulled together, "What are you talkin' bout?"

Ashtray stood from the couch and rolled his eyes "The two of you have been in love for fuckin' years and it's gettin' really annoyin that neither of ya'll sayin' anything."

Fezco watched his brother walk past him and go down the hall into his room.

You couldn't feel the same? Could you?

“Ain’t no fuckin’ way.” Fezco spoke to himself before heading towards him bedroom.
