━ the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care ━ HIS JAW POPPED AND CRACKLED. THE LEFT SIDE ached suddenly, and Nemo hissed out a breath, leaning one scarred side of his face into his palm. He went slack-jawed, letting his mouth hang open while he rubbed the joint in small circles. He’d chewed too hard. The piece of gum was hours old anyway, rock solid and flavourless. But he’d kept with it regardless, clearly stressed. And why fucking wouldn’t he be? Turns out she didn’t love him. Turns out she didn’t love him enough to keep the tattoo longer than, what, a couple years? Nemo laid a palm over his t-shirt, directly on the spot where the wolf was tattooed to his ribs. He knew where it was. He didn’t have to see it, because he’d spent hours with his fingertips on it, and had imagined Giorgia doing the same thing, circling the moon and thinking of him.
But she wasn’t. ‘Cause it was gone.
But he’d left her. Not… physically, they had to live in the same house, but he’d avoided her like the plague, and would never meet her eye if they happened to cross paths. He was trying to keep her safe, keep himself safe; he didn’t wanna risk Emiliano’s wrath. He’d learned the first time.
Why didn’t she wait? Why didn’t she know he loved her despite all that? Why didn’t she love him?
She did. She did love him. It was hard on them both, he was sure━Nemo wasn’t the only one who mattered here.
Why the fuck would she love him, though? It was convenience. Her husband… she wasn’t with anybody anymore, and it was hard to be alone when you knew what it was like to have someone. That’s all it was. She’d find someone else. Maybe she’d take her little sister’s lead and bag a Buckley just to stick it to Dad, ‘cause loving Nemo wasn’t enough anymore.
Nemo’s hands came up, slamming the heel of his palm against his forehead over and over to get the image of Giorgia and Mikey out of his head.
It didn’t work. It was there. She━they were there. He hadn’t seen Mikey since before he went to prison━not even glimpses around Mystic Falls, ‘cause Nemo couldn’t risk walking around too much, not after what happened with Chase━but he could picture it clearly in his head. Just… Mikey still looked like he did when he killed Georgie. He remembered watching the snake in their house the night before, how much they loved him and Georgie, Emiliano’s golden boys. Like Nemo hadn’t done so much fucking more.
He hit himself on the browbone hard like it would send the image spurting out of one ear. Nemo puffed out a breath and stood, beginning to pace in his motel room like a rat in a cage. He needed out. He needed to go somewhere, do something. Maybe he could take Chase this time. Maybe he’d put the bullet in his head this time.
Maybe he could put one in his own head.
Emiliano wanted him to look for Mikey, to check what Mikey was doing, but fuck Mikey. He came to Mystic Falls to get his own revenge. And he’d been so close. So fucking close. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
He hit his palm against his temple, then rubbed his jaw again. It wasn’t what he needed, but Nemo spat the old piece into the garbage and hunted for another.
He didn’t have any. He was out.
Frantically, he tossed his bag and sweater from the desk onto the bed, then back again when he searched the bedding. Under the bed. In the cabinet where he usually kept a stack. Nemo sighed in relief when his eyes landed on one, the last, and picked it up. The inner foil was pushed out all the way, falling into his hand, though, and it was empty. Fucking empty.
Standing, he whipped the cardboard and inner packaging away, watching it fly across the room and stick into the drywall like a fucking ninja star. Magic had exploded from his fingers at the burst of anger, turning the empty pack into something else or, more likely, giving him greater strength than before.
Nemo didn’t stay to find out. He turned, slipped on his hoodie, tucked a pistol into his waistband and stormed out the door, then immediately flipped up the hood. It was kinda sunny and warm now, almost too sunny for an outer layer, but it wasn’t like he could just walk around town with this fucking face. With the face Chase gave him.
Fuck sake. Fuckfuckfuck. Fuck the Buckleys. Fuck both of those fucking idiots. He hoped they both fucking died. He’d kill Chase, he’d do it this time, and it didn’t matter if Roxana would kill him for it. He just hoped he could get to Mikey before she did. He hoped he could get to Mikey before Giorgia did.
Unless she already was. He’d seen Mikey leaving her office. She tried to brush it off, she convinced him it wasn’t what he thought, but she also said she loved him even though she’d removed her tattoo. Why the fuck should he believe anything she told him?
Nemo tucked his hands into his pockets and traipsed through Mystic Falls, grinding his teeth together as he did. He took side streets until reaching the town’s centre━his head dipped almost the whole time━then shortcuts, alleys behind and between buildings, trying to keep out of crowded spaces.
His feet scuffed against the pavement behind the Diner, scarred nose wrinkling as he passed the industrial-sized garbage bins. There was litter right beside them. Right beside. Seriously? He flinched as he heard a back door open, squeaky and metal and grating against his ears. He wasn’t too distracted by the trash to notice it, but kept his head down anyway, trying to avoid the white-clothed man stepping out. And he’d almost passed him. Almost.
There was a buzzing in the back of his head as he got closer, an incessant noise and feeling like something was… wrong. Off. Was it just him, or was the peripheral image of this guy kinda familiar? He tried to tell himself he was crazy for thinking so, but the feeling became inescapable, so loud, so much that he… he kept━he had to look. He had to. He gave in.
Just as he was about to pass the guy at his shoulder, Nemo’s dark eyes flicked sideways to sneak a glance, and found… found fucking… Mikey. It was Mikey.
Nemo skidded to a stop and shifted away quickly, back a few steps, his hand whipping up to throw his hood back. He wondered if Mikey would recognize him. Chase had. Chase… Chase did and he hadn’t seen Chase allthefuckingtime. Mikey was always at his house. Mikey… Mikey was gonna take Giorgia from him.
“You fuckin’━” He sucked a breath in through his teeth, raising his arm to point his palm at Mikey. The threat of a spell if Mikey went all… fucking lizard boy on him. “How━you fuckin’━y-you motherfucker. Y-You━” His fingers trembled. “You fuckin’ snake.” Nemo spat, “You and your brother. Pieces of fuckin’━” He cut himself off, dragging in a shaky breath, then again, like he was beginning to give himself an anxiety attack.

Chase had assured him they were safe in Mystic Falls. The Agnellis hadn’t sent anyone to find Mikey, but it wasn’t enough. That kind of paranoia never fades away. You carry it with you forever, constantly checking over your shoulder and unable to trust anyone you meet. Chase was the only person he could trust, but Mab had started to slowly make her way into that circle. She had one foot in at the moment, but eventually both feet would be inside. Once she was in there though there wouldn’t be room for many more. He needed to keep that circle as small as possible, he was terrified to expand it too far. It felt like his brother didn’t understand sometimes. The leash connected to the collar around his neck wouldn’t snap because he’d moved hundreds of miles from the people who held the other end. They wouldn’t let go of the leash either. It was a lifetime membership and just because they had come knocking to collect Mikey it didn’t mean they never would. But he knew he couldn’t let the paranoia eat away at him too much. He’d watch it happen to countless men in prison. They would be pacing the cell day in day out waiting for something bad to happen. It was enough to send a person insane. Smoking was a thing of the past now they’d introduced those little e-cigarettes that helped the cravings. It was easy to go through a pack of cigarettes in his cell because there was literally nothing else to do, but since he was released he promised himself he’d quit. His lungs were probably already fucked, but the cost of smoking had shot up since he was eighteen. Sadly, he couldn’t exactly stand in the kitchen puffing away on an e-cigarette. Sometimes it was just an excuse to escape the hot kitchen and get some fresh air. Usually the alleyway behind the diner was quiet too, pulling himself away from the chatting in the kitchen. There was a sigh of relief once the door closed behind him, just narrowing avoiding the man who was pacing it down the alleyway. Seemed like a dodgy guy with his hood thrown up over his head. Mikey was about to mutter an apology but the guy stopped and turned to him, ripping the hood down. The penny didn’t drop immediately, but when it did it dropped harshly. His stomach dropped just as harshly too. Nemo. Even beneath the scars he knew it was him. Was he alone? Mikey didn’t move as Nemo raised his hand up as a threat, but Mikey already had his right hand splayed ready to attack. “What the fuck do you want?” Nemo the lackey had been sent to collect Mikey and he wasn’t going anywhere without a fight. He was prepared to crush Nemo like a grape. “Leave Chase out of this.” He snapped as he took a step closer to Nemo, “Tell Emiliano’s I’m done with the gang… I’ve served my time and I ain’t coming back.” He wasn’t a scared teenager anymore and he refused to let Agnellis control him again.

━ the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care ━ HE WAS HERE. HE WAS FUCKING HERE. WAS Giorgia inside? Nemo would’ve looked around if he didn’t know it was so fucking important to keep his eyes on Mikey. Fucking snake bastard would’ve used any chance he could to take a swipe, and Nemo wasn’t gonna be stupid. Not anymore. He wasn’t the same kid they could fucking leave out anymore! He wasn’t just involved, he was their fucking reckoning.
What did Nemo want? His fucking life back. His face. His wolf. But Mikey had her now, and Nemo wasn’t gonna go just let that happen.
He scoffed at the mention of Chase, though the step he took back was nervous and rushed. Why was he coming closer? What the fuck. “Too late. He didn’t tell ya I put ‘em in the hospital already?” His smile was more like a wolf bearing its teeth… despite the fact that he couldn’t pull through when Chase was right there below him, his service weapon pressed to the asshole’s forehead, Nemo’s shaky fingers on the trigger. It just didn’t happen. It didn’t work.
But then he started going on about Emiliano, and Nemo’s brows knitted together, causing the scars on his forehead to ripple and shift. “Who the fuck━” Mentioned any of that? Mikey couldn’t think he’d gotten away from that, though, so Nemo didn’t finish. “Who the fuck said you’d served your time? It’s your fault Georgie is dead, you… fuckin’ piece of shit.” Before, Nemo wouldn’t have dared to speak to Mikey like that, and perhaps he wouldn’t have if Giorgia wasn’t on the line.
“You seen Giorgia? He snapped, his hand trembling as he held it up, “She come to you? She━you better not fuckin’ touch her,” A purple light began to swell a few inches from his palm, a sphere that grew until it was half the size of a bowling ball. It was mostly just for show, but he could use it as a shield if necessary… or slam it into Mikey’s chest. “If you touch ‘er I’ll kill you, Mikey, I s-swear t’God. I didn’t get to kill your brother but I-I’ll kill you. I’ll fuckin’ do it.” Tears welled in his dark, almost black eyes, emotion making goosebumps spread all down his arms. He didn’t wanna. He’d started to see the cracks in Emiliano’s arguments against Mikey over the years, but this motherfucker had still taken a son from him… even if the son was an asshole. But if he’d taken Giorgia, Nemo would tear him apart━worse than what Chase did. Mikey wouldn’t survive it.

Hospital? Mikey’s mind went into overdrive as he was trying to piece together whatever the fuck Nemo was on about. “You fuckin’ did what?” He questioned through gritty teeth. Someone had beat his brother and Chase spent hours convincing Mikey it was just some job gone wrong, but it had been Nemo the whole time. Did Chase know? Why the fuck would he lie about it? So, this is where his freedom was going to come to an abrupt end as he was prepared to tear his apron off and kill Nemo with his bare heads. Mikey would squeeze his hands so tight around Nemo’s throat that it would be impossible for the asshole to say any of his hocus pocus shit. He would squeeze the fucking life out of Nemo and enjoy every second of it. It was impossible to tell whether this was a normal human level of anger or whether his kanima temper was kicking in. Mikey laughed at Nemo’s comment, it was a hearty laugh as if Nemo had just told him the funniest joke in the world. “My fault? It’s Georgie’s fault he’s dead… in fact it’s Emiliano’s fault Georgie is dead… I didn’t pull that fuckin’ trigger and I didn’t even wanna rob the that store that night. It was Georgie’s idea and he went and got himself killed.” Good fucking riddance, one last piece of trash in the world. Mikey refused to stand there and be told it was his fault because after twenty years he’d come to accept what went down that evening wasn’t his fault. “What?” Mikey exclaimed, as he frowned with a look of confusion on his face, “I ain’t seen Giorgia since we were little.” He glanced over at the purple light that started to radiate from Nemo’s hand. “Put you fuckin’ hand down or I’ll tear you apart.” Mikey was certain he would be able to swing for Nemo with his claws faster than Nemo could do his magic shit. “Are you tapped? Why would I touch Giorgia? I’ve spent two years trying to avoid that family.” Suddenly his right hand higher in the air, claws ready to penetrate Nemo’s face. A fraction of red mist had lifted from him as he realised this was why Chase didn’t tell him it was Nemo, knowing Mikey would go after Nemo and end up inside. He’d lose his older brother all over again, after only having him back for a few years. Chase wouldn’t be thankful if Mikey killed Nemo, he’d be pissed. “You ain’t worth shit. Never have been, never will… just leave Nemo and run back to Emiliano tellin’ him you found me. He might even give you a gold star.” Maybe Emiliano would be proud of Nemo for the first time in his life, either way Mikey was done hiding from Agnelli’s. NEMO AGNELLI

━ the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care ━ ‘PARENTLY CHASE DIDN’T TELL HIS BIG brother that Nemo was in town, or even that he’d almost killed him. Nemo’s lips curled into a smile, sharp and somewhat disturbed. “Put ‘em in th’hospital!” He shouted, “Added a few more fuckin’ scars to his face, but not as many as he put in mine!” Nemo screamed, somewhat resembling a child having a tantrum, as he faced off his greatest enemy’s… big brother.
He reeled it in, especially as his stomach began to twist and curl, verbal diarrhea coming out in the form of sticking up for Georgie. He didn’t even fucking like Georgie. Or Mikey; they never let him come along, nobody let Nemo help or be of any fucking use… and now━now he was gonna see. Mikey was gonna see that he never should’ve fucking underestimated Nemo.
Nemo felt a stab of pain on behalf of his dad. Emiliano would’ve hated to hear that━that it was his own fault Georgie was dead━but was it even that wrong? Maybe that’s why he’d hate it so much.
“Fuck you! Take that back!” Nemo defended the asshole anyway━Georgie, not Dad━but that wasn’t why he was here. He was here for Giorgia.
Mikey was just… fucking deflecting. He had her inside. He was tryna distract Nemo so he didn’t ask━didn’t know. They were together. They got together just like Roxana and Chase ‘cause Giorgia was hanging out with her sister now and wanted to hate them as much as Roxana did. She removed their fucking tattoo and now she was fucking Mikey, and she knew it would make Nemo sick.
“That’s bullshit!” He yelled, keeping his hand up, the purple orb glowing brightly between them. “She’s in there! I know she is! IknowitIknowitIknow━” Nemo began to tremble, his teeth tightening together, causing the side of his face to wrinkle, a vein near his temple rising from beneath the scarred skin.
He laughed sharply, more like a one-tone cackle, at Mikey’s threat. “You think that’s funny?! Your brother already did that!” The orb grew to the size of a bowling ball, his eyes filling from behind it.
Why would Giorgia be with him? No, why would Mikey… Chase probably didn’t know. Nemo couldn’t figure out why he’d be with her if he did, and Mikey? There was no way. No, no, no. Maybe he was lying, but━no. No, he wouldn’t. It didn’t make sense. He didn’t know. He went into her office but he didn’t know.
Nemo felt the air shift. Mikey looked less tense, almost, but he… he didn’t physically step back, but his words did.
If only he’d said something else. Maybe Nemo would’ve torn his spleen out of him and moved on to get his gum with or without Giorgia, but then Mikey mentioned his fucking Dad again. “Fuck you, Mikey. You’re just mad you’re never gonna have family like that again. You fucked up everything for them and nobody but your fuckin’ brother wants you ‘cause he thinks he can fix you.” Nemo gritted his teeth, side-stepping to try to shift away from Mikey. “Can’t fix shit like this. ‘Specially when he don’t even know his brother’s a snake.” He snapped, “Watch your fuckin’ back, Mikey━and i-if I find out you touched her…” Nemo’s eyes narrowed, though he threw his hood up and started backing down the alley, keeping the orb facing Mikey, until it was safe enough to drop it and rush to the store to get his gum.
