FavreMySabre SCU One Shots [Requests Closed]

Darkness Love ~ Soul x Corruption

Hello! This ship was also requested by Scp-523-SB! I have to admit, this one took me a while to figure out what to write for it. I got a few dialogue prompts from Pinterest, so credits to the original poster of said prompts. I hope you like this chapter!

~ Soul Steve's POV ~

I wander throughout the volcano base. Void Steve had left to go and attack Sabre and his friends. Rainbow, if we can even call him that, went with him to help torment the non-steve. Corruption and I stayed behind though, as the Colourless Guards and Light Steve have been getting too close to finding this place. If they found us, it could be over. I sigh, unsure as to what to do next.

I hear a sound, though I don't know what it is. I turn my head to the direction where it came from, and I get a ball of Darkness in my hand, ready to attack. I start to walk towards the noise, and I stop once it becomes clearer. Is it... crying? I blink a few times, dumbfounded. Who's crying? Why are they crying? I continue making my way towards the... crying sound. I reach a door, which leads to Corruption Steve's room. I slowly grab the handle, and I open the door. The sight on the other side shocked me.

Corruption was curled up in a ball on his bed, face in his arms sobbing. His black-violet hair obscuring his face from my view. A new emotion fills me. Is it pity? Guilt? Sympathy? I don't know, but whatever it is, it pulls me towards Corruption. It makes me want to protect him.

"Corruption..? Are you okay?" I ask, but internally slap myself. If he's crying, then he's not okay.

"S-soul?" Corruption's voice breaks, which makes my heart break as well.

I walk over to him, and wrap my arms around his back, bringing him to my chest. "Hey, hey, it's going to be alright. I'm here."

I sit down behind him, and he turns around and cries into my chest, clinging to my mostly black shirt. "I-I don't know if I can do this..."

"Do what?" I whisper-ask.

"Fight. Attack. Destroy. I-I can't tell what's right or wrong anymore," Corruption confesses.

"Hey, you're doing the right thing; sticking with me, Void, and the Darkness," I comfort him.

"Then why does it feel so wrong to me?" He asks.

"What feels wrong?"

"War. It-" Corruption starts, but I cut him off.

"War does not determine who is right. It determines who is left." I state.

Corruption looks at me in the eyes, staring into my soul. His mulberry eyes glisten with tears, and I wish I could just wipe them away. I bring a gentle hand to his face, and carefully wipe his tears away with my thumb. This continues for a few minutes.

Once I wipe all his tears away, I go to bring my hand back, but he keeps it there, holding it with one of his hands. He leans his head into my hand more. For a split second, I feel as though he might love me. But I quickly get rid of that thought. He doesn't love me. He's not stupid enough to do that. I sigh.

Lightning strikes outside of the volcano, meaning that Void and "Rainbow" Steve are back. Corruption notices the lightning too, and before I could leave, he gives me a quick peck on the lips and then rushes out. I sit there, frozen. The feeling of his lips on mine stays, a little tingle that refuses to leave. I bring a hand up to my lips and let it hover there.

I push the memory and feeling away. Love has no place in my life. Love has no place in Darkness. Love weakens Darkness. Love cannot thrive in Darkness. I walk out of the bedroom and into the main lobby.
