Without giving any warning, Roman punched Edward in the face and then pulled his hand back, pouting a little. His fingers hurt now, how unfair! He huffed in annoyance and threw the pad away, coming over to Sea instead. "The game was fun but rules are rules, I guess we can't slice off bird boy's nose. This time." And Roman didn't want to seem like he didn't know how to keep a deal. "Just beat his ass."
Looking back, he gave Edward a bored look before shrugging. "I still kinda like glasses though. I'll think on how to punish him. I put more thought into my loved ones."
"Whatever you say, boss." Sea rolled his eyes and finally moved his hands off Oswald's mouth, just to punch him in the stomach a moment later. Boy was a snitch, so he wasn't about to make things easy on him by marking up his face. Instead he focused on his sides, chest and arms, finally kicking his legs out under him and then stepping back, relaxing his hands. "I went easy on him."
Wasn't he a good boy? He looked at Edward, who he felt looked just a little bit too smug about this outcome, so he snapped his jaw at him, satisfied when the boy flinched back.
Edward breathed out slowly, swallowing. "Nice talking to you, sir." There, respectful and everything. Hopefully he'd never have to do this again. "Are you all right, Oswald?"
Roman leaned over and whispered a plan he was forming for Ed into Sea's ear, already plotting his revenge. Not today, he had to go and see Victor but definitely soon. He did, however, point at Edward to get his attention. "I'm going to hurt you a lot. Just FYI. No games next time."
Oswald struggled back onto his feet and held onto Edward, his eyes wide with fear as he looked at that psychopath. Sea was insane, he really didn't want to piss him off again but he sensed it was a bit too late to get out of their line of sight.
"I'm okay." Oswald lied as he not so subtly hid behind Edward.
"...thanks for thinking of me." Well, fuck. What was he supposed to do about that? But he couldn't focus too much on that now, he just let Oswald stay behind him and rubbed his face to check how badly it might bruise from Roman's punch. Luckily, Roman didn't punch as hard as some other people in his life, not that it was a picnic either.
He looked at them both, Sea's eyes now entirely on Roman, clearly ready to do whatever he wanted. How did that work? Was it money? He didn't even know, he just hoped they'd leave soon. "Day one of Lucius dating Victor Zsasz."
"Come, let's go get food." Roman took Sea's hand as the two psychos walked away and Oswald fought back tears as he leaned on the wall, his side really hurting. On the plus side, maybe he had an excuse to not go to school tomorrow. He could play it up, tell his mother he was sick. There was always a silver lining.
"I hate Lucius. I'm going to kill him when I next see him."
