Behind him, there was a loud click, and something cold was pressed against his back.
"Hand over your wallet."
Ccino froze, SOUL hammering in his chest. Hot, shaky breath washed over him, rasping loudly in his ear hole.
"I said," snapped the human, jabbing the gun between his shoulder blades, "Hand. Over. Your. Wallet."
Slowly, scarcely daring to breathe, Ccino reached into his pocket with a trembling hand.
"Good." The human seemed almost unsure, their voice betraying a hint of nervousness, but the weapon they were pointing at him was very much real and dangerous. "Now -"
Their words cut off with a choked gasp, and the cool threat of gunmetal was torn from Ccino's back.
A familiar baritone came hissing through the darkness, dangerously calm, every word laced with barely-veiled threat. "Drop the gun."
Relief flooded through Ccino, and he quickly looked back to see Nightmare, one of his tentacles holding up the human by the neck, his cyan eye blazing. The human was writhing, caught in midair, their fingers scrabbling against the tentacle as they struggled to breathe. The gun fell from their hand, clattering to the ground.
Nightmare's eyelight slid to Ccino, his tone softening. "Are you alright?"
Ccino nodded, not quite trusting his voice.
Footsteps sounded above them, and a figure dropped down from the rooftops, landing in a crouch with a knife already in his hand. He quickly straightened, scanning the scene around him. "What did I miss?"
"Killer," Nightmare ordered, shoving Ccino's attacker at his second-in-command.
Killer caught the struggling human easily, locking an arm around them to hold them in place. The human took a few deep, gasping breaths, then opened their mouth to yell out, only to be silenced by the cold press of metal against their throat.
"Nuh-uh-uh," Killer purred. "Not a good idea, pal."
The human's breath quickened, a small whimper escaping their lips.
"Sshhh," Killer whispered to them, a smirk hovering on his face. "Wouldn't want me to slip, now would we?" His knife dug a little further into their skin, coaxing a few bright beads of blood from the wound.
Ccino stared at his two boyfriends, frozen in place. They were always protective of him, and he had just been held at gunpoint, but... the human looked so scared, their eyes wide, their chest heaving in short, sharp gasps as blood dripped down their neck. They were young, too, despite their dirty clothes and the weapon they'd pointed at him. Barely even an adult.
They're younger than Presso.
He managed to get the words past the dry lump in his throat. "I'm f-fine, really. Y-you don't need to..."
Killer gave him a slash of a smile, still holding the human at knifepoint. "Sorry, sugar, but this one needs to pay."
Cold, goop-covered arms enveloped Ccino, and he let Nightmare tuck his head into his shoulder. In the cool darkness, he could pretend to ignore the two simultaneous squelching noises, the panicked breaths abruptly going silent, the thump as something heavy hit the pavement. He could ignore the steady drip of a liquid he knew would be a deep, awful red.
A moment later, a warm, solid mass was at Ccino's back, rough hands running gently over his shoulders. "It's alright," Killer murmured, arms slipping around Ccino's waist. "They can't hurt you anymore."
Ccino leant back into his boyfriend's comforting warmth, Nightmare's tentacles wrapping around both of them. This was familiar. This was safe. As long as he didn't see the red, he could dismiss the damp, sticky stains soaking into his jumper beneath Nightmare's tentacles. As long as he didn't spot Killer's eyesockets, dark and empty, he could ignore the dangerous edge to his voice.
As long as he kept his eyes closed, it would all be okay

Oki, I've finished humanizing Аgave, and to be honest, I love the way I've portrayed this cute girl :3
A little bit about my headcannon on Agave.
-To be honest, I have a permanent headcannon for such children, if they have one of the parents - Ccino, then they genetically get fluffy and soft hair (in a good way). Agave's hair, as shown in the picture, is quite fluffy, they do not bother her very much, since Ccino (Da) makes her various hairstyles, and she loves them very much. In addition, Agave herself is not averse to helping Ccino in attempts to braid or at least comb Rem's hair, sometimes even she shows more initiative and perseverance than Ccino (most likely, this trait was inherited from Killer (Baba)).
- I also got the impression that she likes sweets, and sometimes she could secretly take something sweet from somewhere, sometimes Rem brought her sweets. And maybe there were times when they could both sneak into the kitchen at night to grab something sweet when they couldn't sleep.
- The pendant around Agave's neck was given to her by Killer when she was little, she has two types of pendant, one that she wears constantly, and one that she puts on when her killer 4Loko identity appears. She takes care of these ornaments, even being 4Loko, and does not allow anyone to touch them, and if one of them somehow "breaks"...in general, it will be bad for the one who "broke" it (excluding families).
- As a little girl, when she had nightmares and after them she could not sleep, she often came to Rem, knowing that he was not asleep, he allowed her to climb into his bed and comforted her helping her to fall asleep again (over time, she did not have nightmares so often, probably not without the help of her brother))
-When Rem and Vanta saw each other, Agava would sometimes join them and they would play some kind of sports game together, since Vanta was an athlete and could teach little agawa to play this or that game (I think in the future they could compete in sports)
- When Agave is left alone in the cafe Da and she gets bored, she tries to play with the cats, this amused her for a while, and later for fun she began to imitate them (after several cases, she received the nickname kitten from Кiller)
- She knows that Da and Rеm have holes in their palms and thinks these are cool
- She has a habit of sometimes falling asleep with a cat on the bed without noticing it, like Cсino
- She considers the knife a beautiful murder weapon, Кiller once gave her a small knife for her birthday in secret, but she uses it extremely rarely being 4Loko, because she believes that the people she kills are not worthy of being killed by so beautiful weapons.
- Since Agave collects badges from every monster or human killed by 4Loko, she keeps them in her room. Sometimes she takes a badge out of the box and unconsciously, mentally returns to the moment when the owner of this thing was killed 4Loko. When she remembers those moments, she analyzes 4Loko's actions more, thinking about how to become stronger and pondering whether that human or monster suffered. This helps her change her killing tactics if required.
I think that's all I could think of at the time. It was interesting to talk about this, because the character itself is interesting. I think I will have headcannons on 4Loko, but in the meantime, I think you will like some of these heads :3💜💖✨🌼
