Shattered

Summary:

Rico faces some devastating realizations over the course of five years of being Sonny's partner.

Notes:

Major spoilers for season five.
I didn't want to write this.
But anyone who knows MV will read the prompt and think immediately of Rico.
Written for the prompt, any, any, I can fix him, no, really, I can / Woah, maybe I can't

Work Text:

For the first two years of their partnership, Rico was determined to be the friend Sonny desperately needed, encouraging him to open up about his feelings, knowing the man was dangerously close to the edge, and Rico was the only one who could turn that trajectory of destruction around.

 

The third year saw a progression of Sonny’s downward spiral, and truth be told, Rico was finding it a struggle to stay on solid ground himself, but still, he knew if he just stayed true to the course and stood by his partner, Sonny would finally understand the message he was trying to send…

 

Then came the fourth and finally, the fifth year… and regaining consciousness in a dirty alley, only a bulletproof vest having saved him from death, and with the memory of a stranger’s cold eyes as Sonny pulled the trigger, he was forced to admit the truth… there may be no fixing this.
