Zelda's Theme // The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)

What is your favorite thing about the Hero's Shade? What is your least favorite thing about him? (How long we actually get to see him is not a valid answer because I also wish we got to see him more or that he appeared in pretty much every other Zelda game too.)
ooooooooohhh. oh anon i love you. saw this and started pacing around my room in excitement
I made a post about it before I think, but there's a quote that's like "in the end you become the person you needed that time when no one helped you" and that sums up my feelings well. In ocarina of time (and ESPECIALLY majora's mask), plenty of people teach you things and help you out here and there, but not in the same way the hero's shade watches you on your journey + actually teaches you to protect yourself*. There's almost a feeling of loneliness/isolation in oot and mm (<personal opinion), whereas one of the major themes of tp is that you're never alone in your fight. and what better representation of that than heroshade. turns into a kitchen appliance
He's got so many good lines too tbh. something about "go, and do not falter" makes me stick my head into a cement mixer. and we as a fandom are sleeping on the memeability of "A (blank) wields no (blank) unless the hand that holds it has (blank)"
My least favorite thing is probably how he calls Link a disgrace during their first meeting LIKE GIRLLLLLL. absolutely no reason to talk to him like that. i don't know that guy
I also think. and this is so nitpicky. the sword training music is very meh. it serves its purpose but as the track associated with him i think it leaves something to be desired. I love MajorLink and Brock Hewitt's choice to make his leitmotif the Ballad of Twilight/Courage Theme instead
*you could make an argument for Sheik or Kaepora Gaebora or even Navi here but their roles are still different i feel. and in majora's mask you very much have No One

I came to Ace Attorney for the gay antics, ridiculous cases, and shitpost memes. I stayed for the heartbreaking family drama.

The Same Bed: Too Late
CW: Captivity, brief religion and alcoholism talk, some big old stabbing fun, explicit noncon (marked at beginning and end with -), derogatory/dehumanizing language, blood, victim-blaming/self-blame/survivor’s guilt, choking
The Same Bed: Part One: Jake | Part Two: Krista | Part Three: Chris | Part Four: Vincent | Part Five: Antoni | Interlude | Part Six: Nat | Part Seven: Owen | Part Eight: Tonight | Part Nine: Reunion | Part Ten: Too Late | Epilogue
-
Somehow, through some miracle, Vince falls asleep for a while. 
With his arms back up over his head, he isn’t sure how it’s possible. They ache, and throb, the pain winding its way down into his ribcage and up to his forearms, but… somehow he settles in just the right way, and the hurt fades just enough, that he finds his eyes slipping closed - and that he’s struggling a little more with every blink to open them again.
He doesn’t know how long he sleeps - Owen pulled the curtains shut over the windows and he has no idea what time it is, day or night. Only that Owen hasn’t come back with Kauri yet, and Vince finds himself hoping as he shifts around in the bed that there’s been a terrible accident that Kauri somehow walked away from unharmed. Just Owen, twisted and mangled in the wreckage and no longer anyone’s problem but God’s.
Not that Vince is all that sure there’s someone watching over all this bullshit - his sponsor thinks so, full on atheist-to-believer story when they met alone for the first time. I don’t know shit for certain, Vince, he’d said, smiling at him over a cup of cheap scalding coffee, in a diner where the waitress thought he was Kauri and looked genuinely disappointed to find out he was just some movie star instead. Dime a dozen in this town, where Kauri... is unique. All I know is before I had God, I had beer. It cost me my wife, my kids, and my job. And after I found God, I didn’t drink another drop. Took a couple more years of AA and therapy after that, but now my ex and I share custody. I figure even if it turns out there’s nothing up there, the belief got me my kids back, so that’s no small thing, yeah?
Yeah. Vince had smiled, a sort of sidelong half-way expression. But... I’m sorry, I don’t believe-
You don’t have to. I’m not asking you to, and I’ll never bring it up again if it makes things uncomfortable for you. It’s just part of my story on why I stopped drinking, and not even all of it. Look on my wife’s face when I showed up drunk to my eldest’s graduation, that’s the biggest reason. God just helped fill in the cracks. If you got something else to do that, that’s good, too.
I don’t know what I have. Vince had water and a coffee in front of him, the ice clinking softly. He couldn’t stop sipping things, trying to bury his need for alcohol in a flood of other liquids that at least wouldn’t tear his liver apart from the inside out. The waitress set their food down in front of them, flat diner burger and french fries, and sighed heavily in a way that told him that she was still deeply regretful he had the audacity to not be Kauri Grant. I like to help out with charity, I do a lot of that. I work with-... with pet lib groups…
So hold onto that, then. It had been a test, to see how his sponsor would react, but the man just smiled and nodded, took another drink of coffee. Vince tried his - it was bitter as hell, and he started pouring creamers into it just to take the edge off. I know the ‘higher power’ stuff can bother people, but you just need to think that a higher power can be anything that helps you. Anything that moves you forward. So maybe in your case it’s that you can be more help to those runaway pets if you’re sober. Yeah? That’s a higher power - doing good in the world. You can hold onto that. Your higher power can be the idea of leaving the world better than you found it.
Yeah. Vince thought of Kauri, having apparently been here before - he lives in a whole other city, hours away from the bright lights and raging monotony of Hollywood, but somehow he’s been down here, and often enough that the waitress had thought she recognized him. What did Kauri do, in all these years since he’d escaped being Vince’s stand-in clone for Owen to tear apart piece by piece?
His throat tried to close, and he gulped burning hot coffee to punish it for the attempt. 
Yeah, he said again, after a long moment’s thought. He thought about Kauri’s face, how it had gone from soft around the edges with shadowed, scared eyes to more angular, stronger, more determined. How he had gone from hiding from Vince to shouting him down to once or twice even offering him a drink when he showed up with a check for the safehouse. You’re right. That’s something to hold onto - doing good in the world. Making it better for having had me in it.
Doing good, whenever he could, even if it was only to help someone whose only sin had been looking entirely too much like Vincent Shield. Making things better for Kauri would leave the world better all on its own, right? So Vince chose doing good. Doing good, and covering his entire house in so many bottles of water it was a wonder there was any place to set down the books he wasn’t reading.
Vince’s eyes pop back open.
Shit, had all those thoughts just been him dreaming?
His arms are still aching, and the slow throb of all the other injured places is increasing as the very last of Owen’s very special drugs wear off. Vince frowns as he hears some movement downstairs - it must’ve been what woke him up. Might be Nat and that Jameson guy, who for the record Vince finds vaguely terrifying. Maybe, except…
No, he hears Owen’s low laughter. 
They’re back.
Vince closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
Showtime, he thinks, and tries to loosen up, shifting a little and gritting his teeth against the spike of pain deep inside of him. How much can he bleed, he wonders, before it’s too much for even Owen to handle?
The sound of Owen’s feet flat on the stairs makes Vince feel sick, his heart racing rabbit-fast. It feels like it’s barely contained by his skin, like it might burst out and run where Vince himself can’t. God, Owen has always walked flat-flooted like that. Vince used to think his ‘elephant steps’ were endearing, way back before he’d been made to understand that Owen had at some point gone from someone who was his friend to someone dreaming about how it would feel to be the reason he was dead.
He’s not surprised to see Kauri in front of Owen as they appear in the doorway, but that Kauri is already naked still stops his breathing in his throat even so. 
“Don’t worry about it,” Owen says when he catches Vince’s stare. “Had him go down on me in the car. Man, driving the 5 with a mouth on your cock is some risky shit. Worth it, though. Kauri always did know how to suck a cock like a fucking champion.”
Kauri stands with Owen’s hand on his shoulder and Owen’s gun pushed into his side. His face is reddened and marked with tear tracks that catch the dim hint of light coming in from the hallway behind him, his mouth is too red and lips still slick with spit. 
The light in the hallway is behind his head, but between he and Owen just so, setting a halo around his black curls, lighting their edges in gold. It would be a good shot in a movie, Vince thinks, even as he pretends to be caught off-guard, looking from Owen’s smile to Kauri’s resigned self-disgust and back again.
“I wondered whose house this was,” Kauri says, dully. When Owen pushes him forward, turning on the light and making both of them flinch, he stumbles at first but then walks, heading for the bed. His eyes lock on Vince, like looking in a mirror of himself years ago. “Should’ve guessed. Hey, Vince.”
“Hey, Kauri.” Vince swallows. Kauri’s taking in his bruises, his nakedness. He can tell, can see those blue eyes travel along the length of him, head to toe, considering the damage that he sees and thinking, maybe, about what damage isn’t visible yet. Looking, Vince imagines, into the specter of his own future.
Short as it’s likely to be, if whatever Nat plans to do doesn’t work.
“I’m sorry,” He breathes, the words are barely audible.
Kauri must hear them, though, or at least guess. He smiles, wry and without any humor but with the kind of affection he’s never shown Vince before. “Don’t be,” He says, quietly.
“Still-”
“It’s not your fault.”
“Kauri-”
Kauri exhales, and shakes his head slowly. “You never did anything wrong, Vince. None of it, not a single bit, was ever your fault.”
Vince closes his eyes against the rush of tears. His heart twists inside of him, wringing itself out. Years of guilt weighing him down, driving him with his nightmares and his terror into the comfort that being blackout drunk could give him. 
Kauri must really think they’re both about to die if he’s willing to give Vince that absolution out loud. 
If his sponsor turns out to be right about that God thing, he hopes Kauri’s endorsement carries some kind of weight with heaven. Kauri Grant, negotiating on my behalf with God Himself. Vince has to bite back a hysterical laugh at the thought. You can be my higher power. Stop drinking, he thinks, so your Kauri will forgive you for ruining his life and tell God to let a bunch of shit go. His teeth bear down so hard on his bottom lip that the flare of hurt briefly wipes his awareness of all the other pain away. 
“Bullshit,” Owen says. There’s a sound as he sets the gun he’s been carrying down on the side table. Vince opens his eyes again to see him spin Kauri around, taking his hair in one hand and pulling his head back, chin lifting until the angle must be painful, until Kauri goes up on his toes to try to relieve some of the pressure. Owen’s green eyes search Kauri’s blue. Vince, for a second, thinks he can almost see the reflection - Owen reflecting something like clear water, for just a second. Algae overwhelming it afterward.
Vince did a documentary on global warming, once. All he can remember about it right now is a bit in his narration about how algae steals the oxygen and destroys the life beneath that can no longer breathe.
Owen smiles. “You know what, Kauri? I kept something, to give back to you.”
“Did you?” Kauri’s throat bobs. His hands are fists at his sides. “Surprised you didn’t throw all my shit in the dumpster like you did my plants.”
“Don’t tell me you’re still holding a grudge over that. Jesus Christ, Kauri, learn to move on.”
Kauri doesn’t hold the laughter back - it breaks out of him, bitter and cynical and angry. Vince watches with genuine admiration as Owen’s face turns several brand new colors in a mix of confusion, alarm, and rage. Still, Kauri laughs, putting his hands up over his face. “I can’t-... you just-... oh my god-”
“Shut up!” Owen slaps him, but it doesn’t even seem to register. Kauri just keeps laughing. “What the fuck?!”
“You are the last goddamn person who can have feelings about how long someone holds a grudge, you asshole. Vince told you no one time, what, fifteen years ago or whatever and you’re still trying to fuck him? Just go buy a goddamn sex doll like everybody else! I ran off a decade ago and you hunted me down and sent my husband’s shitty dad after him, you hurt my other husband, you scared the hell out of my little brother and my best friend, and, what, because you can’t even pay enough to make someone care about you!”
“I said shut up!”
“Oh my god, Jesus Christ,” Kauri’s giggles are airy, he can’t stop long enough even to take a deep breath. “This is amazing, I’m about to be murdered by the world’s shittiest fucking incel-”
Owen’s fist finds Kauri’s stomach, cutting the laughter off into an oof and the sound of Kauri hitting the floor. He curls up immediately, protecting himself on pure instinct just as Owen’s boot tries to land a blow. Instead of soft stomach and vulnerable head, Owen’s foot just hits his hands, his arms, his legs, and Kauri jerks in gasps of air until he can breathe.
And then he starts laughing again, whispering, “Oh my god, I’m going to die because Owen Grant can’t even pay someone to fuck him, oh my god,” over and over while Owen tries to kick him to mush on the ground. Eventually, the blows come fast and hard enough that Kauri has no air left to laugh with, and yet still his body shakes, his hands pressed over his face. 
“Owen-” Vince pushes himself up to sitting as best he can, bracing himself by closing his hands around the headboard. He hisses at the pain, but still he tries. “Owen, stop it! You’re going to kill him!”
Owen stops.
Vince hadn’t thought he actually would, and there’s a moment of silence where the two of them stare at each other. 
His cheeks are bright red, and his eyes gleam. There’s a half-second where Vince remembers Dimmer Switch, how Owen had gotten so much praise for the director for the scenes where he had to pretend to be possessed by the ghost who was killing all the principal characters. It had been the ghost of someone who had been murdered for having some kind of affair three hundred years ago.
Excellent, that is perfect, Owen, just keep giving me that, keep giving me that, you’re amazing!
It’s the same look now, only it isn’t an act. What Vince took for anger he realizes has transformed into something far worse. Lust. 
It had been lust he’d been staring at Vince with, under the lights and on the set, and Vince hadn’t known enough to see it for what it was. But he saw it now. No wonder all the gossip rags thought they were sleeping together.
“Not yet, I’m not,” Owen says, his voice husky and heavy with want. He reaches down and grabs Kauri by the hair, yanking him back up with a cry to his feet. “Come on, baby.” He drags Kauri by his hair, ignoring his limp, the sounds of pain he makes. Vince can only watch, helplessly, as Owen goes to a box he’d left on Vince’s dresser earlier and refused to explain.
Vince had been sure there was some kind of awful toy in there, one of the few things Owen hasn’t subjected him to. Owen shoves Kauri chest-first into the dresser, pressing up against his back as he leans past him to open it. One hand yanks his head back by his hair again. “Stay just like this,” Owen murmurs against his ear. Vince’s stomach flips as he hears Kauri’s pained whimper. Owen yanks again, harder. “Hey. I gave you a fucking order. What do you say, huh?”
“Y-... yes, I’ll stay still,” Kauri whispers, voice shaking. The hysterical mocking laughter is gone, now, and the years and the therapy appointments and everything fall away from Kauri, leaving behind someone younger, more frightened. The person he was before he found the courage to run.
Or maybe just the person he was the night he did.
“Good boy.” Another shudder runs through Kauri, but he holds still as Owen opens the back, and Vince’s mouth goes dry even as bile tries to force its way up his throat.
It’s a collar. Woven white-gold with sapphires, pointlessly expensive, high-necked and wide as he carefully slides it over Kauri’s skin, and closes it at the back. Owen drops his mouth to kiss the side of Kauri’s neck, and Vince can’t see Kauri’s face from this angle any longer but he can hear the hitched sob.
“Beautiful. As always. Didn’t I always tell you how beautiful you were, Kor-Bore, huh?”
He turns Kauri around, letting Vince get a better look at him. The red cheeks, the tears that run freely now. How Kauri wraps his arms around himself, shaking as he’s pushed towards the bed. “Yes,” Kauri mutters. His eyes are down, on the floor.
Downstairs, there’s a soft thump. Owen pauses, his hands on Kauri’s shoulders. For a long few seconds, silence. Vince forces himself not to look towards the door, not to give anything away. He puts a sincere expression of confusion on his face. “Owen?”
Owen shushes him, frowning and sliding an arm over Kauri’s chest to hold him. His other hand finds the gun on the side table. It pushes against Kauri’s side like it had never left. He edges towards the door. “Hanson?” He calls, thoughtful, maybe a little concerned. 
“It’s fine, Mr. Grant,” Hanson calls back, slightly strained. “The little shit can pick locks. Caught him sneaking around and put him back in. Just moving some shit in front of the door to make sure they stay there this time.”
Jameson’s voice is next, rasping cursing full-throated anger. Another thump, then some scraping. Vince feels his heart sink somewhere near his knees. Jameson locked back up... fucks up the plan.
Shit.
“Good.” Owen frowns, kicks the door closed with his foot and leaning over to lock it. He looks back at the bed, eyes roving over Vince’s long body. Green eyes note every bruise, finger-shaped around his hips, oval and with irregular edges along his chest and sides. The cuts, the wounds on his back that stick to the sheets, open and bleed, dry and stick to the sheets again. The black eye and busted lip. Vince knows he looks half-dead already.
Owen licks his lips, and Vince knows he’s never been sexier to him.
“You know what, baby, there’s something I always wanted to try…” Owen shoves Kauri forwards, moving him towards the bed. He has to more or less haul Kauri up onto it. Kauri and Vince meet eyes again - which one of them is the more terrified, Vince honestly can’t say -  before Owen spins him around.
-
Kauri’s back meets Vince’s chest with a gasp, the breath knocked from them both. Owen jerks them down until Vince is lying on his back again. Kauri lays on Vince, his head to the side of Vince’s and his hair in his face. Before he can twist to roll away, Owen grabs him by the neck, the heel of his hand jamming the edge of a sapphire into Kauri’s pale skin, pushing him back into place. He forces himself between Vince’s legs - tied wide open, and long since gone numb. 
In the process, he pushes between Kauri’s legs, too.
“Stay still,” Owen says, almost gently. His thumb pushes against Kauri’s pulse. “Or this is really going to hurt you, Kor-Bore. And you may be a giant fucking slut but you and I both know you never liked it when I hurt you.”
“N-... no-”
Owen’s thumb presses in harder. “You don’t say that to me, now do you, Kauri? Huh? Do you get to say no to me?” His other hand grabs Kauri by the wrist, moves his hand behind Vince’s head. “Grab your other hand and hold it there.”
When Kauri doesn’t move fast enough, Owen snorts and grabs the other hand to shove it back, too. Now his fingers are interlaced behind Vince’s neck, and the position makes his back arch a little bit. His ass is pressing against Vince’s pelvis and hips now, half-grinding down on him, and Vince feels some strange sense of horrible pleasant pressure.
“Owen-” Vince’s voice is thin with holding Kauri’s weight. He shifts uncomfortably. “Owen, please, please, for the love of God, don’t fuck him on top of me-”
“Ssssshhhh.” Owen smiles down at the two of them, pressing a finger to Vince’s lips. Kauri’s breathing is so fast and so shallow Vince wonders if he’ll black out from lack of oxygen before anything actually happens. “I’ve been dreaming about doing this for so fucking long, Vince, you don’t even know. Two of you? Fucking amazing. I feel so fucking jazzed, you know? I bet I could come in you both in an hour or less, I bet I don’t even need a refractory period tonight, just fuck you both to death.”
Vince’s eyes widen, and Kauri’s shoulders shake with weeping. There’s another thump from downstairs. Vince dimly hears scarred up little piece of shit slut through the door. Some more thumps. I’ll fucking show you-
A cry.
Owen hesitates, looking towards the door. “Hey, Hanson, do you need-”
“I got this! I got the little shit handled this time!” Hanson sounds breathless. 
“Good.” Owen’s voice drops back to a mutter. “Vince, you fucking prude. Never done this before, huh? Well, it’s sure not Kauri’s first threesome. Is it, baby? Hm? You can tell me and Vince. Just between us.”
“N-... it’s not,” Kauri gasps. Owen takes the hand off his neck, briefly. He pulls something from his pocket, then starts working his pants down over his hips, not bothering to undress any more than he has to for what he’s about to do. “Had… a ton of them, all kinds of-... Owen, please, oh god-”
Owen chuckles. Vince can’t see what he’s doing but by how Kauri goes suddenly tense enough that Vince wonders if his bones will just full-on snap from the pressure of his muscles, he thinks Owen is working a finger inside. Then two. And it won’t be easy, and it won’t be kind, and Vince aches in sympathy with him, his own damage still a constant reminder. “How many?”
“Wh-what?” Kauri’s voice is breathless, whispering, thin.
“How many threesomes, Kauri? Huh? How many times has my little slut been exactly what I made him to be?”
“Don’t know. A, a hundred? Maybe more? I don’t know, probably-... probably less, they’re less fun than you think un, unless everyone is up for it the same amount and-... Jesus fuck,that hurts, it hurts, shit-”
“That’s okay, baby,” Owen says tenderly. He leans forward, fingers buried inside of Kauri, and kisses him. Vince closes his eyes, but he can’t escape the noise, the sounds of spit and tongue and lips and Kauri’s soft protesting whimpers going higher and higher pitched. Owen finally pulls back, and kisses Kauri’s forehead. “It’s supposed to hurt. And it’s going to hurt a whole lot worse than this before I’m done with you.”
“Owen-”
“That’s not what you call me.” Owen shifts on the bed, and Vince listens as Kauri’s soft whimper suddenly ratchets to a high pitch. It’s all he can hear, the sounds of pain as Owen forces himself inside, the weight of him pushing Kauri’s him down so Vince’s bruises ache, the fingers that have already torn and bruised and marked him now making the same smudged black-and-purple shadows on Kauri. “God, you always felt so good. So fucking good. Made for me, huh? My little slut, just for me, my little Vince whore who never says-... says no-”
Kauri cries out and the bed rocks as Owen thrusts forward, finally burying himself fully inside based on how Kauri’s body arcs like he’s been struck by lightning, shuddering, his hands pressing hard to the back of Vince’s neck. 
“Good boy,” Owen murmurs, and pulls back, rocks forward again. He takes up a slow, almost ponderous rhythm, and Kauri’s whimpers and cries go on and on and on. Vince wonders if Hanson found Antoni, did away with him, if that’s what the thumps were. If Jameson and Nat are already dead. If everyone is dead but he and Kauri, a house of corpses and a madman whose eyes are wide and rimmed in white as he smiles down at the two men he is destroying.
“Hurts-” Kauri whines against Vince’s ear, and then he goes suddenly still. Vince opens his eyes as Owen’s hands close, slowly but with deliberation, around Kauri’s throat. “No-”
“You don’t say no,” Owen says, voice low and soft. “Ever again.”
“Owen, no, please, he hasn’t done anything wrong!” Vince begs shamelessly, closing his hands into fists. He feels the metal cuffs around them, rattles the chain that connects him to the attachments on the headboard. He takes a deep breath. “Let him go and just take me, Owen, you always wanted me, right? Just take me! Just-”
“I’ll take you after,” Owen says, and never even looks at him. “But first…” He thrusts forwards, and when Kauri cries out Owen’s hands grip onto his throat and start to squeeze. “You shouldn’t have run away from me,” Owen mutters. The headboard smacks into the wall, thunk thunk thunk thunk. Kauri’s cries are whispered, now, barely making it out of the pressure closing his throat. “You can’t run if you’re dead, huh? Can’t run away from me again, never again, never again never again, never again-”
He loosens and tightens his grip in rhythm with his thrusting, with his words. Kauri’s body writhes on top of Vince’s, and his hands leave their spot at the back of Vince’s neck.
How much death does Owen need to stop, for this to be over? The thought is barely human, moving through Vince’s mind like the wail of a banshee, a beseeching plea and a warning of coming death offered in something more instinctive than words. 
There’s a thud at the door, then another.
Vince could laugh - the cavalry is coming, about five minutes too late to do any-fucking-thing about it.
They are trapped animals under the hunter’s hands and nothing more. Vince’s heart, desperate to keep beating, races to push oxygen into every cell, his mouth is open to pull more in from the air. He’s going to die, the both of them are going to die before that door breaks down.
Vince just… wants this to stop.
It has to stop. 
Kauri’s spine arches, shoulder blades and lower back digging into Vince’s collarbone and pelvis respectively. His hair spills backwards over Vince’s face and spreads out on the pillow. Through gaps between Kauri’s wild black curls he can see Owen, green eyes now narrowed and focused, his lip pulled back from his teeth in a snarl.
He can feel his hips snap forward, can feel the trickle of something warm that he realizes is Kauri’s blood.
“No,” Vince whispers.
The sounds at the door ratchet up, someone throwing themself against it from the other side. There are words buzzing like flies, shouted through, but Vince can’t hear them. He can only hear, and feel, Kauri fighting to survive.
Kauri’s hands grip at Owen’s wrists, claw helplessly at his knuckles and fingers, even as they squeeze and release, squeeze and release. The collar is going to leave marks in Kauri’s throat, bruises maybe a coroner will understand but maybe wherever Owen is going to put him will leave him lost for so long there won’t be any evidence left to find. 
They’re both going to die, Kauri and then Vince.
What had Jameson said?
When you kill someone, you own them. You own their death.
Owen’s going to own them both, in a way that no one else ever will.
How much death before it’s over? Will it stop with us? Will he kill Nat and Jameson? Will he kill Antoni?
Will he just find someone else who looks a little like me, and start again?
Will he just find someone else?
Something in Vince feels, suddenly, disconnected. This moment is happening to his body but not to him, and some deep logical part of his mind reminds him of something he had forgotten. A step he’d taken years ago, made a habit and forgotten about, in every place he’s ever lived since he ran from Owen the first time.
Kauri’s hair brushes against his lips, tickles up the inside of his nose. Kauri’s frantic struggles are starting to slow, his desperate attempts to find air are little more than brief whistling gasps. His fingernails have dug bloody lines into the backs of Owen’s hands and wrists but it doesn’t matter, and he’s starting to falter.
How much death before it stops?
Vince hopes he’s strong enough for what is about to happen, strong enough to see it through to the bitter, awful end.
“Pl-please-...” Kauri’s mouth is moving but the whisper barely exists, now. His hands fall from Owen’s, finally, and his body goes limp as Owen’s thrusting reaches a fever pitch, as the headboard smacks into the wall so hard Vince knows it’s knocking divots out, paint scrapes and bits of drywall drifting towards the ground. “Mr… Owen… please d-don’t-... please-”
“Goodbye, Kauri,” Owen says, breathless, smiling as he forces himself back in deep once more and goes still, letting out a soft and shuddering sigh. “God, I loved fucking you so, so much...”
How much death?
The answer, in Vince’s mind, comes with a brutal swift certainty.
Just one more.
Owen’s eyes close, as he savors Kauri’s body still shaking and shuddering even as Vince knows the light is fading from his eyes. Dying on his cock and under his hands. Owen hums, leaning over, pressing a kiss to Kauri’s lips, stealing what little air he can still find.
-
Vince takes a deep breath.
Then he jerks his arms forward as hard as he can, feeling the handcuffs that Nat had left a little loose pull taut. He doesn’t care about hurting himself or pulling a muscle any longer. He just pulls as hard as he can and ignores the way his body screams at him.
One of the chains snaps.
His left hand drops, and before Owen has even opened his eyes fully Vince has found the knife he’s been hiding under his mattress since he was twenty-one years old and came home from the hospital sure Owen would appear in the night to finish what he started. He’s had it in every apartment, in his first and second house, now in this one. He’s never, ever moved in without this same sharp knife slipped between the frame and the mattress the very first night. He’s never slept in a hotel without it.
Owen starts to move, his green eyes startled.
By the time he takes in the broken chain, by the time he can even start to understand what he’s looking at, Vince is already jamming the knife sideways through his throat and ripping it to the side as hard as he can. 
Owen lets go of Kauri, pulling out of him to grab at his own neck, and Vince stares at the bright red waterfall of blood. It drips hot onto his thighs. He can’t make his fingers go loose around the knife. Instead, he pushes himself - and Kauri, still limp on top of him - up and jams the knife in again.
And again.
And again.
Oh, God, it smells, the blood smells, hot and copper salty-sweet smell overwhelming him. Owen chokes on it, gasps around it. It pours down his throat into his lungs and comes back up out of his mouth as he coughs, collapses to one side, clawing at it like Kauri had been clawing at his hands just a minute ago, and just as helpless to make the violence stop as Kauri had been.
Vince’s stomach flips, and he turns to throw up over the side of the bed, but there’s nothing in his stomach and it’s only sour bile and saliva, blood and spit, nothing else exists in the world but this. 
The door bashes open, slamming so hard the knob hits the wall, and Vince is aware of something, some kind of other presence, and if it’s Hanson he’ll kill him, too.
Kauri’s mouth is open. He’s limp, warm, falling as Vince’s moves. His head tilts slightly to the side against Vince’s neck. Vince can’t tell if he’s even still breathing. It’s all so far away. It’s all so distant, feet away from his awareness even as he’s the one who just committed murder, even as there’s a maybe-dead-man lying on him, even as his bed is full of fresh blood and old, dried and bright, and Vince owns Owen this time.
He owns Owen Grant’s death.
He owns the life that Owen stole from him.
It’s his and Owen can’t have it ever again.
He-
Vince’s stomach revolts again, and still it’s only clear spit that drips down onto the floor. 
A hand is over his where he still grips tightly to the knife, and he jolts back into awareness, turning to look up and to the side to see Nat looking at him. She doesn’t hesitate at the sight of the blood. She isn’t frightened of his hand holding the knife. She only says, softly, “Vince, he’s dead now. It’s done.”
“N-Nat-... Nat, I just-... oh God.” He starts to shake, the knife clattering down to the ground. “Oh God, oh God, oh God-”
“I’m so sorry, honey. I’m so sorry. We couldn’t get up here in time, Jameson had to-... it doesn’t matter. I’m so sorry-”
“Kauri-” Antoni runs in, shoving Owen, who is still twitching, onto the floor like he’s a blanket on a too-warm night and grabbing at Kauri with his dark eyes full of an unfamiliar panic. He pulls Kauri towards him, limp and with his eyes slightly open in a way that Vince has seen in too many movies but never in real life before. 
“We were too late,” Nat whispers, and Vince wonders if someone can visibly break apart with the weight of guilt. It looks like she might. “For you both.”
There’s blood on Antoni already, and Vince wonders if Hanson is dead yet or still dying. It was a hell of a fight, and based on how Antoni looks, one he barely won. 
Antoni’s hands are on either side of Kauri’s face, and he leans forward, kissing his forehead, his cheeks, briefly his mouth. “Kauri? No, no… Kasha?” There’s no answer, and Antoni’s expression twists into an ugly, guilty grief. “Kasha! Nyet! Nyet, nyet, YA dolzhen byl vas spasti, no ya opozdal… mne zhal', Kasha, ya opozdal… nyet, yubov' moya, nyet-”
One arm is around Kauri, holding him upright, while the other pushes two fingers just under his jaw. Antoni lets out of sob, dropping his head to Kauri’s shoulder. “Yego serdtse b'yetsya, slava bogu, mne zhal’, Kasha, mne zhal’-... I love you…”
“Antoni?” Nat’s voice is tight. “Ant, tell me-”
“His heart,” Antoni says, weeping, his accent so thick Vince can barely understand a word he says. “His heart, Nat, my Kasha-...”
“His heart what, Antoni please-” Nat’s voice is shaking. Vince wonders how many of the runaways she’s lost to death over the years. If losing Kauri would hurt more than most, after he’s been a part of her family for so long, or if she would just… mark him down on whatever list she keeps within her of everyone she didn’t save.
“His heart… his heart, it beats,” Antoni gasps. Downstairs, there’s more muffled thumps, the sound of footsteps on the stairs. “His heart, my Kasha, my Kasha is alive, my Kasha-”
“Kauri-” Jake is in the doorway and then he’s at the bed and Vince isn’t sure how it happened in an instant, but it did. Owen’s dead body barely notes a glance for the big man, only something he steps over as he throws himself across the room, arms around Antoni and Kauri both at once, holding them both. Kauri suddenly coughs, gasps in a thin burst of air, shakes all over. 
“Kauri-” Jake’s eyes search over his face. “Kauri, talk to me, please, please, please-”
“Kasha-... pozhaluysta govorite, Kasha-”
“My h-head,” Kauri croaks, barely audible. His eyes open more, glazed-over and foggy. “H-hurts so f-fucking much-”
Someone lets out a breathy laugh, Vince isn’t sure which one. They hold each other, the three of them, and Vince thinks there isn’t any world outside of them, as far as they’re concerned. For now. 
Nat looks over at Vince, not at the three on the end of the bed, and he wonders what it costs her to care for him first and leave Kauri to Antoni and Jake. But when he meets her eyes, she doesn’t look like someone who would rather be holding anyone else. She’s looking only at him.
“Vince,” She says, voice low. “I’m... not going to ask if you’re okay.”
“Yeah.” He manages a shaky, barely-there laugh. “F-for the record, I’m really not, but…”
“Let’s get you cleaned off,” She says, smiling with a soothing, soft warmth. Something about it - how she doesn’t linger on his wounds, or look pitying - is exactly what he wants… needs… to see. She has to go pick up the key off the dresser to unlock his other wrist cuff, and he can’t hold back the groan of pain and relief as once more his arms are both down at his sides. Nat eases him to his feet, and they make a slow, painful, shuffling walk to the enormous master bathroom. 
God, he hates that bathroom.
He hates everything about this stupid house.
“Hey, Nat?”
She hums, helping him move into the shower. He never realized until now how the silver is beginning to overtake the brown in her hair. He wonders if he stopped dyeing his own, how long it would take to look the same. “What?”
“Can… can I come stay with you for a while? My, um. I think I want to move out.”
When Nat laughs, Vince starts to laugh too. The water turns on in a spray of heat against sore, tired, bruised muscles. And they laugh, hysteric and exhausted, until Vince starts to cry. But for the first time since he was twenty-one, it isn’t fear he’s crying with.
“I think I can find the space,” Nat says, finally barely getting her voice under control. “Jameson won’t mind. He’s downstairs, uh… cleaning up. We’ll tell him. He won’t mind.”
“Won’t he?”
“Okay, he will, but… I don’t know, Vince. I think he’ll like you a lot more now.”
“Will he?” That gets another laugh, more relief than good humor. Vince slides to seated in the shower, pain throbbing everywhere and sort of nowhere at the same time, tipping his head back against the wall. He can hear Antoni and Jake talking over the sound of the water and through the open door, the pauses where Kauri must be whispering back to them. “That’s funny.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I… I think I like me more now, too.”
