Alpha and Omega

“Mister Sanders,” said the detective, “You’re not going to be arrested unless you don’t cooperate. Did you kill Mister Nobel to defend for Mister Baker and Mister Haner?” Matt cleared his throat, “Yes, I did it to stop him from hurting them… but I… I never meant to kill.” The detective nodded as a response, “That’s all I wanted to know right now. Please stay seated.” The detective left the interrogation room.
Brian, in a different interrogation room, and bouncing one leg as a sign of anxiousness. He just finished explaining his side of the story and then was told to wait. He didn’t want to wait… he wanted to see how Zacky was holding up. He also wanted to see Matt, but wasn’t entirely sure if Matt wanted to see him. Brian knew Matt saw him being touched by that psychopath, and he thought Matt didn’t want to be with him anymore. Matt, still seated, was thinking about Brian and how Brian might not want to be with him anymore because he killed someone. The detective came back in, “Okay, you can go.” Matt cocked an eyebrow in epic confusion. “Obviously killing someone is illegal,” said the detective, “but all the stories from you, Mister Baker, and Mister Haner fit that you did out of protective the victims and preventing further harm. So you are free to go.” The detective handed a business card to Matt, “You said earlier that you didn’t mean to kill which means this whole thing has taken a toll of you. This is a number of a very good psychologist. He helps us with special victims. Maybe he can help you not feel like you’re… well… in the shitter.” Matt took the card, “Thanks.” The detective nodded, “There’s some food and drinks out in the lobby for you gentlemen.”

Zacky walked through the hallway of the police department to the lobby seeing Matt there, sipping on a cup of coffee. “Matt, you okay?” Zacky asked as he sat down next to Matt. “I don’t know,” Matt said quiet and sad, “I just… don’t know… I mean I don’t know if I can be with Brian anymore.” Zacky’s eyes grew wide, “What?! Why would you think that?” “Zacky,” said Matt, “I just killed somebody… Brian wouldn’t wanna be with a murderer.” “You did this to protect him,” said Zacky, “Because you love him.” “Yeah,” said Matt, “but that doesn’t make up the fact that I killed somebody.” “Well I’m glad you did Matt,” said Zacky. Matt turned his head to look at Zacky. “The guy was a serial killer,” said Zacky, “If you didn’t stop him, who knows, Brian and I could have been killed… and for that I say thank you… and this isn’t that only that you saved Brian. You took a blade for him when Val went all psycho bitch. I’m pretty sure he still loves you.” “Maybe,” said Matt, “But we don’t know that for sure.” “That’s true,” said Zacky, “We’ll find Brian and talk to him okay?” Matt nodded. “But first,” said Zacky, “I gotta take a wicked piss.”

Zacky wiped off his hands with a paper towel after washing them. He leaves the men’s bathroom to find Brian walking towards him. “Oh,” said Zacky, “I was just about to look for you.” Brian cocked an eyebrow. “You need to talk to Matt,” said Zacky. Brian’s face filled with sadness, “He wouldn’t wanna see me.” “Do you love him?” Zacky asked. “Well of course I do,” answered Brian. Zacky grabbed Brian’s wrist and pulled him towards the lobby. “Zack what are you-” was all Brian was able to say. Zacky pulled Brian and then pushed him into a chair next to Matt, who was looking rather confused himself.
“Alright dammit!” Zacky hollered, “Yes Matt, you did kill someone but you did it to protect the ones you love. That doesn’t make you a killer… it makes you… basically a hero, because you saved people… and Brian…” Zacky went from hollering to a calm tone, “I know the guy wronged you. He wronged both of us, but if we didn’t do what he said… he could have killed us. Then you wouldn’t be with Matt anymore… and you wouldn’t want that, would you?” Brian slowly shook his head, “No, I wouldn’t.” “And Matt,” said Zacky, “You wouldn’t want Brian dead either, right?” Matt grabbed Brian’s hand, “No… I wouldn’t.” “Now,” Zacky went back to hollering, “You love him and he loves you. Be together! Stay together! You didn’t let Val get between you and you’re not gonna let this psycho asshole tear you apart! …I mean, fuck! If they made a fairytale gay couple story for kids, you guys would be it. You’re a perfect fucken couple. You’re meant to be together, even I can see that.”
Zacky took a couple deep breaths. Soon police men and women were applauding to Zacky’s speech. Matt and Brian looked at each other. Matt squeezed Brian’s hand and ran his thumb across the back of Brian’s hand. “He is right,” said Matt. Brian looked down then back up at Matt, “Yeah.” They leaned to each other for a deep passionate kiss. Everyone cheered.
They pulled apart. “I love you Bri,” said Matt, “I love you very much.” “I love you too Mattie,” said Brian, “Very very much.”
