Hi! I think I made Roman a lil too mean, but hope you enjoy!
When Roman wins—when he kills the guy, he doesn’t notice the blood splattering onto his shoes. A few days later, when he had lied to his parents about getting a nosebleed and buried the dead man whose name he could not remember, he told himself that it had been too dark. Furthermore, it had been too dark to notice the fact that his…opponent… had stopped breathing; that his singular open eye stared out at the world without movement or life.
Right afterwards, with his opponent on the ground and very thoroughly dispatched, Ranboo hadn’t felt a lick of guilt. He had been happy, even, and had to fight down the urge to do a little victory dance right there at the murder scene. The fucker had hit him good right where another bruise was just about to heal up, and the pain told him that it was going to be hurting for a very long time. Right on his waist, too, so Roman wouldn’t be able to turn or sit without feeling it. As payback, once Roman had gotten him on the ground, he’d pulled his head up by the hair and slammed it back down as hard as he could.
The first time, his whole body had spasmed underneath Roman’s hand, and he’d tried to push himself back up, blood dripping out of his nose and into the grass. Roman stood, kicked one arm out from under the stranger to send him tumbling back onto the ground, and put one foot on his back, pressing the full force of his weight into him. And kicked him in the head one too many times, with the thought that if he had to deal with stomach pain all week, the other guy better have a worse headache.
In the moment, he had ranted about this or that, but all Ranboo could recall now, lying in his bed, was the soaring sense of power. In between swings, Roman had caught glimpses of the man’s eyes. His pupils were focused entirely on him, watching his every move. Commanding somebody’s attention like that was one of the best things about fighting. He had been king in the forest, a giant among men and a victor of the world. It was a wonderful experience. Ranboo got to go out and make himself important, to claw respect out of the mouths of those who thought they were better than him and come away feeling capable of anything. This time, though, the feeling soured in his stomach as time went on, and his victim didn’t get back up to walk it off.
Ranboo still felt sick back at home, like he was waiting on a hit. He felt nauseous too, although that could’ve been from the bruising. In the darkness of the hallway, Ranboo’s mind drew the silhouette of the man he killed and buried. It went away for a bit if he blinked, but eventually the shape of a pretty average guy—shorter than him, roundish rectangle, basic haircut—formed out of the dark. He couldn’t be certain, but the shadow moved closer when he blinked too.
Well, Ranboo couldn’t stay up all night, and if whoever he’d killed (Ranboo couldn’t remember the name) was alive and back for revenge, he’d prefer to die in his sleep.
The murderer turned over and tried to find rest. He did not.
OHHHH ANONNNNN this is so so cool!!!! the part about him seeing a shadow is SOSO COOLLLL THANK YOU SM!!!
and tbh roman IS really mean at the start of the au anyways and he did get a sick thrill out of beating the guy and only really started thinking once he got home so it's not that far off ^^^^^^^
it really is insane how waking up early will grant you access to some of the most beautiful sights and sensations in the world that will make you want to live forever, but only if you overcome the gauntlet of a thousand razors that is getting out of bed early. truly one of life's little saw traps.

the fact that Israel can precisely target ONE apartment in an entire residential block in BEIRUT to kill two hamas leaders, proves once again that they CHOSE to carpet-bomb Gaza and murder 31.000 Palestinians to "defend themselves" against Hamas. Israel CHOSE to kill civilians, they CHOSE to bomb every hospital, every school, every refugee camp, every residential block. israel does NOTHING to spare the lives of palestinians, they want to thin out the population of gaza so they'd be able to settle their citizens there.
this is a genocide it's an ethnical cleansing PLEASE WAKE UP don't stop talking about Palestine it is not a trend, people are still dying, Israel has no plan to stop if WE don't force it to, through public pressure and protesting and boycotting. it's the least we can do.
“Israel is committing genocide.” Yes. They are. But so is the US. The US is 100% complicit in this, and Israel would not have been able to do as much without the help of the US. I’m disgusted to be living in a country that is complicit in the literal MURDER of civilians. Men, women, children, elderly, families. All dead because of Israel AND the US. This needs to STOP.
It's unfathomable, even more so when you realize this isn't the first time Israel has done this. She was a baby. The men were so obviously red crescent medics, and still, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.
It wasn't a misfired bomb. It was guns. They knew what they were targeting.
Anyone who defends this, for whatever religion you believe in, even if you believe in nothing at all, I can only hope the afterlife brings you your deserved suffering on a platter. You're disgusting, vile creatures, who must've snuck onto the Earth because there is no way in nature that you are human. Die.
نَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Save the children of Palestine. Protect the medics. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.
There is nowhere left to go.
The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.
That is the only option
Pay or die.
Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.
1.5 million people have nowhere to go!
