his world changed when he met lirim. blind, but a smart man, he knew well that they were one of the more powerful yakuza leaders in his time. business between them came easy. drugs, alcohol, weapons, anything of the sort passed between them, an equal share of the profits for both of their respectable groups. at first, it was all diplomatic. business as usual, nothing but the same shit they both had been up to for however long it had been. but things changed. slowly, their relationship shifted. from business, to friendship, to... more. a wedding, a private marriage, not the most romantic but it was suitable for their tastes. they were in love, no matter how much bo denied it in the beginning.
and he would not lose his husband again.
a person approaching, a young man by the sound of his voice. most of his words came blurred to the man's ears, but he understood enough. eight steps to his right. bo turned quickly and moved, head dipping down when he felt weak breaths on his cheek. "be still, love," he whispered, kneeling as he set foot on the sidewalk, laying his husband gently upon the ground. he moved back; not terribly far, but enough to let the boy take a look at them. he twined his fingers gently with theirs, a comforting gesture, despite them being unconscious, fading in and out of a sleep he hoped would not last.
sightless eyes flickered up to where the next arrival stood. his brows furrowed lightly at the offer. alleviate the pain? he wasn't totally against it, but he also wasn't enthusiastic about strangers touching lirim under guise of taking their pain. though he supposed it wouldn't do any more damage to them. "if you think it will help." bo rumbled. the last person, a woman, he paid no mind to. only sneered slightly at her words; it was obvious by the way they reeked that they were vampires, but she didn't seem to care enough to hide it from him. perhaps it was obvious that he was a demon, another "creature of the night."
bo rubbed his thumb over lirim's knuckles idly, jaw clenching. he could only hope that he was fast enough bringing them here. perhaps he'd simply walk into the ocean if they died here. after killing every one of the people standing around him, of course.
