Painful Love

Dangerously

Author's note: hi, this is a very explicit abusive chapter. Alec is extremely humiliated by Caleb. Please, don't come for me in the comments, proceed with caution as this might be triggering for someone. Thank you for reading!

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Alec yelled, instinctively slapping his boyfriend before breaking down into sobs. "P-Please, Caleb." He mumbled in between tears. He was losing his mind. He was hurting and he was mentally drained. He needed someone to talk to. "P-Please, s-stop it..."

He was going to lose it if he heard Caleb's voice again. He was so focused on trying to breathe that he didn't realize just how much he had messed up. One for crying, two for yelling at Caleb, three for slapping him, fourth for begging him. And five, for not running away from there.

"Alec."

"P-P-Please..."

"Alec, look at me."

"I d-don't... I-I c-can't, I c-c-can't, p-please..." Alec could feel his legs tremble, stop keeping him up. He heard his boyfriend call his name again but he couldn't. He couldn't look up at him, he couldn't move, he couldn't do anything other than cry.

"Come here." Caleb said, "Come."

Was he going to give him a hug? Was Caleb really going to hug him? He hadn't done such thing in... God knows how long. Maybe he would forgive him, after all, he had hit Alec many times and the blue-eyed man had forgiven him despite it all. A hug.

"Come on."

Alec hesitantly took two steps forward, before his boyfriend pulled him into a hug. It was weird, it didn't feel right but it was enough for Alec. He craved softness and gentleness. He placed his face on Caleb's shoulder, closing his eyes as he let his sobs take over. He couldn't even hug him back. He just needed to be held.

He felt Caleb's hands move up and down his back. Nobody had ever done this to him. He found himself breathing shakily. To Alec, it felt like hours but only ten seconds went by, before he felt a brutal pull on the back of his head. A raw scream was heard and he finally looked up at his boyfriend. His cheek was reddened, where Alec had hit him and his eyes... Alec was unsure whether he had ever seen such look there.

It turns out that Caleb had literally pulled a patch of Alec's hair out. The man looked at his hand disgusted. Alec could feel his skin burning where he had had hair just some seconds ago. Thankfully, he hadn't pulled out much but it still hurt. He gasped in pain, at the same time gasping for air. He should've known better than to trust Caleb.

"In what moment did it occur to you that yelling and slapping me was a good idea?" Caleb asked him, pushing his shoulder. "Tell me, Alec, why your tiny, tiny brain decided to do that. You know, I've had enough of you and your whiny little sobs, your stutter and your daddy issues. I am so fucking tired of you." He breathed out.

Alec's teary blue eyes were blinking repeatedly in a desperate attempt to stop crying. He stepped back, his back hitting the wall. Caleb suddenly started laughing. He did that for some seconds, before taking a deep breath in and out.

"Ah, oh, God, yeah. I'm tired of you, Alec. You're exhausting. You're like a whole burden to be taken care of. Having a dog would be way easier." He chuckled, looking down at his frightened, crying boyfriend. "Only thing is fucking you is way more viable than intercourse with a dog. At least your screams make up for the poor collaboration."

He kicked Alec. He kicked him hard on his knee. Alec fell to the floor, a scream following. His hands shot up to where he had been kicked. He could have sworn he had felt something shift inside. He whimpered, holding his knee with shaking hands.
