whats up anyone else here like projecting personal rage onto similarly healing characters? Dave and Bro end up both alive after the game and Bro's memories are all but gone due to Cal's influence. Dave reacts to not even being able to get a proper apology (meaning, knowing what happened) by lashing out. this fic has emotional and possibly later on physical abuse, and isn't a nice read. keep that in mind, please. -

Summary
Warren had managed the calculus to realize that his mother had to die.
Layla didn’t understand why he hadn’t done the math and killed Layla, too. He could have. Well, he could have tried. He might have succeeded. Layla’d believed that Warren loved the kids, both the Homecoming kids and his younger sister, but she hadn’t believed he actually loved anyone else.
He did, though. He did, and unlike the four of them and their feelings about him, his love was unmixed. It was beyond fucked up because everything about Warren was, but it was genuine.
Right now, she didn't care, but it might matter later.

Bookmarker's Notes
Ming Fan wrings his hands in his lap, eyes downcast at the floor. "Shizun taught that saying you’re sorry doesn't count, that we have to prove it with our actions." He pauses, and sends a quick glance Luo Binghe's way. "I had wronged Luo Binghe."
*
Shen Yuan has started to suspect that everyone in this world is touch starved.
Of all the things he had taken for granted before, touch was not something he had ever imagined to be one of them. Reaching out to pat a head, a shoulder, or to grab an arm, even hugs, were all just reflexes and all part of everyday socializing he was accustomed to. It was not so here.
*
Is it his imagination or are there more children in his class?
He can't bring himself to question the new faces, he has no clue as to who most of his disciples actually are. He brushes it off, choosing to feign cool indifference. Even if they aren't his he'll teach them anyway, no harm done.
*
Shen Yuan pulls back from Luo Binghe to look the tearful boy in the eyes "The truth is that If whatever I've forgotten let me treat my Binghe the way I did in the past then I don't want to ever remember."
*
Luo Binghe walks over, leaving Ming Fan who doesn't need much help "Did Shizun heat the syrup up first before measuring?" the boy asks sounding slightly astonished by his teacher's inability to follow a recipe unassisted.
*
"Just children's war games," Shen Yuan says, lowering his fan to smile sweetly at Yue Qingyuan, trying to cover these children's asses.
No one but Shen Yuan would be allowed to parent these children!
*
Stepping slowly closer to Shen Qingqiu, Yue Qingyuan raising his hands in a non-threatening and placating manner. "Xiao Jiu," Yue Qingyuan implores again, a pained but fond look on his face. "Shidi, you can't keep a demonic beast."
*
"Moon cycle?" Ning Yingying looks puzzled, she's still crying, but no longer panicked.
Fuck!
Shen Yuan awkwardly pats the girl's arm,"you're not dying."
It seems like Shen Qingqiu does have to teach sex ed after all.
Fuck his life!!
*
Luo Binghe, who had been quiet the whole lesson flips through the packet, pausing his browsing to stare in awe at whatever he's found, "Men can have sex?" he asks, not a hint of shame to be found on his awe-filled face.
*
Fully awake now, Shen Yuan uncomfortably endures Yue Qingyuan settling behind him, the comb returning to brushing his hair. Yue Qingyuan's pace and care are no different then BInghe's had been just moments before.
*
Shen Yuan stares into the hovering man's eyes "What are we to each other?" he finally grabs the courage to ask.
"I raised Xiao Jiu since he was a baby" he explains, his doting gaze intensifying, eyes glazing, obviously lost in his own memories.
*
"Is it alright if I touch you?" Qi Qingqi asks, waiting patiently.
*
Shen Yuan barely suppresses a flinch at the screeching static only he could hear, nodding along with whatever Qi Qingqi is saying, unable to hear her over the noise in his head. The static screams to a halt, jarringly cutting off into silence, the systems screens still hovering in the air visible only to him.
*
Shen Yuan lightly smacks Yue Qingyuan and frowns at him, "Don't be mean to my children!"
Confused, Yue Qingyuan blinks at Shen Qingqiu. "Your children?" He asks.
*
Shen Yuan glances over Yue Qingyuan’s background summary, and the more Shen Yuan reads the more disturbed he becomes.
*
Apparently one of the eldest of his children is actually one of Yue Qingyuan’s disciples.
Whatever, it doesn’t matter. The boy is one of his beloved children now and Yue Qingyuan can have him back over Shen Yuan’s dead body.
*
Shen Yuan demands; “Why is it improper for Binghe to do it, but not improper for you?”
*
“Luo Binghe has done nothing so terrible as to warrant such attention from Zhangmen Shixiong,” Shen Yuan says unable to keep his terror from his voice.
*
Qi Qingqi paused for several breaths before growling, her anger driving away any hint of pain in her voice, “now that Shen Qingqiu’s memory has been compromised you have been all over him.”
