(pico, Nene, and Darnell r taking the subway to the city of their next hit: bf- altho they don't know it's him. Daddy dearest paid for them to have a car to themselves)

Nene: (crawls onto Pico's lap unprompted)

Pico: (his cig shoots out of his mouth and he immediately pushes her off)
Get off me, bitch!! What did we say about boundaries?!

Nene: picoooo it's going to be such a long rideeeee. It'll be so boringggg if u don't chill out a bit!

Pico: ugh, I've already told u I'm not interested.

Nene: (rolls onto her back and sticks her arms out in exaggeration) but whyyyy?????

Pico: easy, youre obsessed with me in an extremely unhealthy way, you're a fucking psycho (and not in the hot way), and you've tried to kill me on multiple occasions (Nene sighs contently, presumably at the many memories of this). Also, ur not my type.

Darnell: (who was listening from the other side of the car) what even is ur type?

Nene: yeah, have you even dated anyone before?

Pico: what kind of question is that?! Ofc I have.

Nene: WHO?! I have to learn her secrets and then KILL HER FOR EVER DATING U.

Pico: saying things like that makes me not wanna tell you. And they're not a "her..."

Nene: YAOI?!?!

Pico: ... You read too much manwha.

Nene: (sticks her tongue out)

Pico: but yeh, he was this short ass guy with eye-scorching blue hair that was apparently natural? And he didn't talk much -- purely because he was anti-social, he wasn't shy or anything -- he'd just make these weird sounds instead.

Nene: sounds like a freak.

Pico: ur one to talk. But yeh, ig he sorta was.
Anyway, he was home sick the day of the... Uh... That. (They all collectively shudder.) That day kinda fucked me up. And he absolutely saw that but he... he stuck with me... and I broke up with him.

Nene: aww so I can't kill him with the justification of him breaking up w/ u?

Pico; when have u ever needed a justification?

Nene: ehehe

Pico: ...right. Anyway, I did it bc I felt dangerous and unsafe and blah blah. Haven't seen the guy since then. Now can y'all get off my ass?

*(Darnell: sure, but one question.

Pico: rrgh, fine.

Darnell: do you still miss him?

Pico: (stands up quickly, flustered) what?! Fuck no!!

Darnell: anddd there's my answer. All over ur face. (He doesn't actually care, he just knows this would piss off pico)

Pico: (flips off Darnell) asshole.

Darnell: (shrugs it off))*

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Darnell: I got a gud feelin bout this next hit. I mean, the client is former rockstar daddy dearest, it has to be a gud one.

Pico: (stands up) and the cash we'll get!! I can finally get that bazooka!!

Nene: I can finish my babymetal collection!!

Darnell: I do be thinkin tho, who in the hell could they be? 's not like we're top tier hitmen, and daddy dearest is a big name, so they can't be sum1 crazy important, right?

Pico: ur thinking too hard about this. I'm just hyped about those stacks!

Darnell: probably right.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pico: hey Darnell, u got the call right? What's the target's description?

Darnell: I had Nene write it down.

Nene: have it right here!! It says:

Bright cyan hair, can't miss it
Always with this gorgeous girl he doesn't deserve
Smirky motherfucker

Yeesh, crazy coincidence, u said ur ex has cyan hair right?

Pico: psh, so does a fuck ton of other ppl out there, and besides, what would daddy dearest want with the dweeb?

Nene: still, wouldn't it be awesome to get to kill ur ex? For money?!

Pico: (half-heartedly) yeah, sure...

Nene: have u no joy? Whimsy?

Pico: fuck off

Darnell: if it does turn out to be ur ex, don't hesitate bro.

Pico: duh, I know that. Damn, do u even have to ask?

Darnell: (holds up his hands in surrender) jus' makin sure

Pico: (scowls)

(The rest of the ride, they kill time by prepping their weapons, chatting, and making graffiti on the train.)

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(The train finally pulls to a stop. Nene, pico, and Darnell get off)

Pico: ugh, finally! I'm ready to kick ass!!

Nene: race you to the target!!

Pico: ur on!!

(Both start to run, then Darnell clears his throat and they stop in their tracks.)

Darnell: do either of yall even know where the hell ur going?!

(Pico scratches his head sheepishly, Nene gives Darnell puppy eyes)

Darnell: listen, the client said the target would be somewhere around this train station.

Pico: that's convenient.

Darnell: it's like he wants the guy dead immediately. Whoever it is, he must rly hate. Anyway, I say we split up to cover more ground.

(They conspire some more and separate)

Pico is pretending to be some bystander, casually walking the streets, and he's not taking the job very srsly

But then again, he doesn't usually take hits too srsly anyway.)

Pico: god, this place is so crowded. How the hell will I pick him out- (pico bumps into bf) hey, watch it! (Despite him being in the wrong)

Bf: (turns around and beeps angrily)

Pico: (jumps) bf?! What the FUCK r u doing here?! (Flustered, nervous, sweating)

Boyfriend: pico, *(bee-op oh bop?? Beh eop ep??)* ((What kind of question is that?? Why wouldn't I be here??))

Pico: oh god, it's been so fucking long where have you been- (it hits him like a truck when he sees gf.
2 realizations:
Bf is the target
And he has a new partner)

Bf: *(beeeep? Bee be boh?)* ((Hellooooo? R u in there?))

Pico: (slowly coming back) i-is that.. is she...

Bf: ((my partner? Yeah, pico meet gf! She's my girlfriend!))

Gf: oh my god hi!! Ur bf's friend right? This is so cool!

Pico: (staring) even ur names fit together...

Bf: ((she's also the daughter of both daddy dearest and mommy mearest, so I rly pulled this time huh?)) (Oblivious to Pico's obv pain)

Pico: (gathers himself and snaps out of it) do u think we could go somewhere less crowded, and like, catch up?

Bf: (surprised pico wasn't affected by his joke) ((oh, uh, sure! My tickets r phoney anyway, it turns out. Wonder how daddy dearest got that wrong...))

(Pico feels sick. Darnell's voice echos in his head: "don't hesitate man." He had to get the job done...)

Pico: fuck

(They move to a spot near the train tracks where there aren't any ppl)

Bf: (turns around) ((this is a gud place I think-))

Pico: (already has both uzis whipped out, is sweating profusely and looks a tad deranged)

Bf: ((what- what're u doing dude...?))

Pico: whatever the hell u did to piss off daddy dearest this much isn't my business-

Gf: what?! But my dad wouldn't... (wraps her arms tightly around bf's arm)

Pico: (ignoring her) -He sent me here to kill you, and id appreciate it if you kept this as painless as possible, for you and for me. (His guns visibly shake in his hands)

Bf: (sees this and gains some composure) ((u wouldn't.))

Pico: (he snaps) THE FUCK YOU MEAN I WOULDNT?! R U TESTING ME?!?! I JUST PULL THIS TRIGGER AND UR GONE-

Bf: (pulls out a mic. He's insanely freaked out, but he does his best to seem confident for gf and pico. It works) ((rap battle.))

Pico: (a little lost) ...what??

Bf: ((u asked what I did to piss off daddy dearest. I beat him in a goddamn rap battle.))

Pico: ur shitting me.

Bf: ((here's how it's gonna go. We have a rap battle, and if I lose u get to kill me or whatever. But if I win, u have to let me go. C'mon dude))

Pico: ...This is so fucking stupid... Fine. (Snatches the mic) But I won't lose

Bf: (relaxes a little) ((yeah, sure. Tell urself that.))

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pico: (huffing) when did u get so gud at rapping??

Bf: ((uh, would u believe me if I said, like, a week or two ago))

Pico: (makes the face)

Bf: (cheeky ass expression)

Pico: god I hate u. (lies)

Bf: ((well u did promise to let us go if we won))

Pico: fine, I guess. (Pauses) ARGH the others r gonna KILL ME

Bf: ((hey dude, if it's any consolation, I believe in u))

Pico: it's not. (Thinks for a sec) But thx, ig.

Bf: ((np!!)) (gives pico a quick hug)

Pico: (blushes profusely)

Bf: (as he pulls away, notices) ((dude, ur so fucking gay. Anyway, see ya))

Pico: (stammers) y-you asshole!! I'm gonna fucking murder u!!

Bf: (as him and gf walk away) ((yup yup uhuh.))

Pico: FUCK U

Bf: (flips him off while still turned around, smirking)

Pico: (watching them leave with a sad smile, says to himself) god, what a douchebag. (Pauses) Dammit I thought I was over him!! FUCK.

Nene: ( pico here's from a distance) piiiicoooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pico: oh god (chat is he cooked?)

Nene: (throws a knife with uncanny aim, and pico just barely dodges)

(When Nene and Darnell reach pico, Darnell punches him)

Pico: OW. What the fuck was that for?!

Darnell: we SAW u with the target, and we SAW u WATCH HIM LEAVE.

Pico: it's none of ur business, fuck off!!

Darnell: ofc it's our business dawg!! R u srsly- oh my god that was ur fucking ex wasn't it.

Pico: what?! No!!

Darnell: then why the hell would u let him go?!

Pico: i.. well... Ok, so what if he's my ex?! Would either of u murder ur ex?? Even for cash??

Nene: I've murdered my exes for less.

Pico: you... You don't count. There's something srsly wrong w/ u.

Nene: aw, thx!

Darnell: pico, that was gonna be our big break! We could've gotten our own place with all that, upped our game!

Pico: answer the damn question!!

Darnell: (sighs) I would do it. Bc I'm not a damn coward.

Pico: (opens and closes his mouth, not knowing what to say) that's... low...

(Pause)

Darnell: (sighs) u can make it up to us by actually killing him next time. (Turns around) Sheesh, now we've gotta find the target all over again. C'mon.

Pico: r-right...

Darnell:( looks back at pico) don't fuck up again.

Pico: fine, asshole! God, whaddu want from me?! An apology?!

Darnell: it would a start

Pico: fuck u

Darnell: (exasperated sigh)
