Forever
TWO DAYS OF FLUFF. What have you people done to me.

Nanda’s phone rings just as the shower kicks on, with cold water that begins to warm almost immediately. The water hits the cool marbled floor of the shower side of the bathroom, falling from the ceiling like rain, and the mist makes the pet close his eyes, enjoying the spray.
His back throbs, a blend of pain and nearly-unbearable heat that is deeply familiar. It radiates through him, down the backs of his thighs, making him kick his legs out to the side where he sits to avoid having his heels touch his legs. Before the shower turned on, he could hear the drip of blood from where the whip had cut too deeply - now, though, he can only feel the softly itching trickle of a drop here and there as it curves around the bottom of his ribcage and marks the floor.
He shifts his hand and it slides in the blood, he has to pull it back, looking down at the smear with a wrinkled nose. His palm is red, now.
Caught red-handed, he thinks, a joke he doesn’t understand but he knows he once did. He smiles, a little. The throbbing heat feels like being good, the pain means he is doing exactly what he is designed to do, he is what he was made to be. He is a good boy, like Nanda whispers to him at the end, when the both of them are panting and soaked in sweat and smeared in the pet’s blood and everything else that happens between them.
In those moments, he knows that this is love, to him.
This is how he was made to love, to be loved. With pain just on the right side of agonizing, with pleasure just on the wrong side of pain.
He was made to have all his bite and sharpness beaten out of him until he is languid and content in the ache. He takes in a deep breath, listening to the phone ring and ring, and then finally stop. Nanda’s hand rests on his short, shaggy hair, petting lightly through it. He pushes his head back into the touch.
“Mmmn, you’re all sweet now, huh?” Nanda’s hand moves back to toy with his collar, hooking two fingers to pull back until it cuts into the front of the pet’s throat, making him gasp and hitch in shallow breaths, stirring his exhausted body. “I think I like you better sweet.”
“No-” The pet’s voice catches, and he shivers, not from cold but from a different sort of heat. “No, you don’t.”
“You’re right.” Nanda chuckles, and his hand shifts down, trailing fingers, grazing them over the raised red welts that layer over his shoulder blades. The pet groans, softly, and he arches his back to lean into the pain. “I love you most when you bite back.”
The pet stiffens. “You-”
Nanda’s phone rings again, and his hand pulls away, leaving the pet bereft of touch once more.

Three days in a hospital bed. An actual bed, which he’d stayed put in because he knew they wanted him to. And also because of the armed guards outside the door. He was used to that though, and almost surprised they didn’t come in to make use of him, until he remembered where he was.
Bad people were everywhere though, surely it was only a matter of time before someone slipped in who had that kind of inclination. He’d be ready. He was always ready, nothing could shock him now, he didn’t think.
AHHHHHHH!!!! AHHHHHHH???!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!! fkdhkhdkffk :D :D Eli honey!!!!!

4 am gang wheeee somehow I ended up with 2k words lol I should probably sleep

Nick didn’t like hovering but…he really couldn’t help it. He couldn’t help the knee-jerk reaction to throw his hands out to steady Milo whenever he swayed, or seemed off balance, or got that recognizable, pale look on his face. He didn’t like it because more often than not he got a flinch in reaction to the sudden movement, heart twisting in guilt. He was thankful for the instinct, though, when he actually needed it.
They always came out of nowhere, the fainting spells. One minute Milo would be fine, maybe even relaxed if they were lucky, and the next his knees were giving out, sending him crumpling to the ground with barely a second of warning. They were happening almost every day, which was what made Nick develop the protective habit in the first place.
He was at the bar on his laptop, desperately rummaging through deficiency possibilities when his boyfriend came into the kitchen. He quickly clicked off the tab and smiled up at Milo, sighing. He never took a single second he could lay eyes on him for granted, not anymore.
Whump Prompt 159
“[Whumpee], [Whumpee]…”
They looked so hollow, their eyes void of life. Staring blankly into thee caregiver’s eyes, the whumpee coldly tilted their head to the side- nothing was getting through. The whumpee they knew was long lost.
“Please,” the caregiver whispered, “please wake up.”
Box Boy Whump! (no.2) Amnesia

Amnesia Whump
- Bad headaches/migraines, or even nosebleeds, whenever the box pet accidentally or purposefully remembers something
- Nightmares/vivid dreams of people the box pet doesn’t think they know recurring frequently, disrupting their sleep (the owner might hear them calling out someone else’s name in their sleep)
- Seeing someone on the TV/newspaper/online that seems very familiar but the owner drags them away and punishes them before they can try and remember
- OR an obedient box pet that keeps almost-remembering and doesn’t want to, begging the owner to help them be a good pet, especially if they’re remembering something traumatic from before/from training rather than pleasant memories
- Seeing someone on the street who calls out to them (is the box pet alone, running an errand, or with their owner?) and clearly recognises them, but the box pet doesn’t remember them at all – bonus if the person calls the box pet with a name they’d forgotten and it causes all their memories to return
- Box pet can’t trust themself, or know what their owner says is true or not (think Peeta in Hunger Games)
- Box pet finds scars they don’t remember getting, ones from before they were a box pet, or from during training – bonus if the scar spells their name from before, or is a message, ie. ‘stolen’ to remind them that they didn’t sign up voluntarily, or ‘sister’ to remind them of their family
- Owner gets frustrated with a box pet whose training was too complete – they barely remember how to dress themselves, let alone how to cook or clean (or, creepier, this was exactly what the owner put on their order form) and they take it out on the box pet
- Owner infantilises the box pet for not knowing how to do anything
- A rescued box pet desperate to remember but nothing comes back, even after months being surrounded by their loved ones, who might be visibly disappointed that the box pet can’t remember (the box pet might try to make things up to please their loved ones and get found out). They struggle to find out what their genuine personality is, rather than what the owner said it was
- OR a rescued box pet who has no idea who they are, and their caretaker doesn’t either. They start building a new life, only for someone to finally recognise them, years later
- A rescued box pet’s short-term memory is permanently damaged by what happened and they frequently forget what’s happened, to their frustration and caretaker’s worry
- A defiant box pet suddenly gets a flashback, just as the owner is returning home and they have to hide what just happened
- Owner notices the box pet is starting to remember things and sends them back to Whumpees R Us/the company they came from to fix them (*5 year warrantee on all pets!!*)
- OR a box pet is terrified of being sent back so they don’t tell their owner, but the owner is actually kind and encourages the box pet to try to remember
- Box pet has the constant sense that the name their owner calls them is wrong and doesn’t respond/feels sick when they’re called it, or that the clothes/hairstyle that the owner says is theirs doesn’t feel right
- Box pet remembers a fellow box pet, but the other pet don’t recognise them or remember anything (and doesn’t want to?)
- Box pet receives a blow to the head (car accident/fall/deliberate hit by owner) and everything comes back at once

Set in the ‘hotel room weeks’, post-escape. Vaguely continued from here. Referenced drabbles at the end.
tws: dissociation, and discussions thereof. references to past torture— drowning, stabbing, beating, choking, branding.
The bad days usually started with tears, and that was something they could share in. Crying into each other’s shoulders, eating whatever terrible, unhealthy food they could scrounge from the nearby 7-Eleven. Looking through cooking magazines and trying to find recipes that had zucchini in them, so that Graham could make them when he could walk more than two steps at a time. Those days were gloomy, and restless.
But the really bad days? They were silent.
Lev would be right there, right there, but go somewhere no-one could follow, and Graham would be left alone. His boyfriend would either lie on the cot and stare blankly at the ceiling, or curl up on the small chair in the corner of the bedroom, or just kind of stop in whatever he was doing.
Graham knew he shouldn’t be moving around as much, or at all really. He was only six weeks out from fracturing his femur in two places, and his other ankle was still in the walking boot. It wasn’t wise. But he hauled himself from the bed, onto crutches, just so he could leave the room for an hour or so—because god, he’d tried to stay, he’d tried, really, but there was only so long he could take the glassy eyes and the eerie muteness.
He’d return, and Lev would be back. Sobbing, disorientated, but back. Or… he might still be lost somewhere.
Sometimes he could see the shift of it. When a loud noise sounded from the street below, and his partner’s shoulders would draw incredibly tight, and his hands would come up, to pull at an invisible collar. He would hold and squeeze his palms, creating some gentle, but firm pressure that Lev said helped. But attempts to keep him in the present moment were limited, at best. Sometimes he’d catch it, and try to help ground him, but Lev would withdraw anyway. As if—and there was no blame assigned to this, how could there be—as if the man wanted to check out, and was doing so of his own volition.
But when the trigger was something internal… a memory, or a sensation? Graham could ask a question and turn around for a moment, and when he turned back, his boyfriend was already gone.
That had happened a few times, now. But it never got easier.
