Ruggie x Silver, Toxic!Leona x Ruggie

Ruggie and Silver were on one of their calm dates under a willow tree in the courtyard. They were called calm dates for them because they didn't talk, just basked in each other's presence. Which pretty much just meant Silver dosed off as Ruggie stroked his shimmering hair

But today, he was looking at his bandaged arm. It was from when Leona overblotted, when his arm took a direct hit from Leona's signature spell. It was over a year ago, but his body was weak and the spell was insanely powerful. It's been taking a while for it to heal but by now it was about halfway healed

Looking at his injury, he remembered how the lion prince tried to kill him, even if he wasn't aware of his actions. But going down that road led his thoughts to when he and Ruggie had...intimate sessions. The hyena was thinking about it in more depth now. He'd been foolish to think Leona actually loved him back then, they never shared mushy romantic moments like this moment with Silver. Leona just stripped the both of them, fucked, and left. And it was always when he was pissed

Ruggie had been used. He had been manipulated into believing that insolent lion retained any emotions for him. But then he got a feeling of satisfaction as he remembered punching that bastard's face when he lied that he loved the hyena and that he wanted him back

But then...why did Ruggie still desire his touch? He didn't want to, he really didn't. But something was compelling him to the bastard of a man. Silver awoke from his narcoleptic nap, immediately furrowing his brow once he looked at his boyfriend

"You're thinking of him again" he said in a low voice. Ruggie's ears perked up in surprise

"What? Why would I?" Silver gave him an arched brow that said "really? We've been dating for months and you expect me to not know?"

"Stop thinking about it. Leona used you because he saw you as weak, he used you for his own selfish gains" Ruggie got unreasonably mad at that

"YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?! So many people have been telling me what had happened like they were there the whole step of the way. But THEY WEREN'T. They don't know how I was treated in that bed, how I hung on his every word..." he went silent and growled at the ground as he looked away. Silver didn't know how to approach the situation, so he just sighed

"Ruggie, we're just trying to help"

"Why? Because you think I'm so weak that I'm at the point where I don't know how to take care of myself? Is that why we're together? Sympathy? You're Malleus's personal guard after all, your whole job is to protect" Ruggie got really irritated at Silver's words, he looked him dead in the eyes. Ruggie crossed his arm, bared his teeth, flattened his ears, and his pupils were dilated. Silver looked back with defiance

"That is not what I said, I'm not protecting you because of sympathy, I'm protecting you because I care" he touched Ruggie's good arm gently, to which the hyena quickly withdrew and stood up

"Well, what if I don't want your sympathy care? Huh? Maybe...maybe I don't need this relationship. I can take care of myself, and if you're going to hold me back with your restricting emotions, then this won't work" Silver stood and brushed himself off

"Very well, if you do not wish to be in a relationship with me anymore, I respect your rage-fueled decision" The human tried not to show any emotion, which he was good at since he had to train to get his bearing when he was a recruit for the guard. The beastman rolled his eyes, growled, and flipped off his now ex boyfriend 

Ruggie kept his back to Silver as the narcoleptic left, most likely in search of Malleus. It wasn't until late that night when Ruggie couldn't sleep did it hit him. He just broke up with Silver, the one that helped him through all of his problems, the one who was there for him, the one who showed care after Leona's overblot incident

Shit...shit shiT SHIT!! I'M SUCH A DUMBASS

Ruggie silently weeped until morning
