Red Leader walked up to the cell, gazing sorrowfully at the caged man. Emotions ran thick through him, his blood pumping around his body. Red Leader's hands were clenched at his sides, the man didn't know what to say other than: "Do you even care about me anymore?" His voice just above a whisper and partially filled with anger. Frustration.

The man in the cell looked up, startling toxic green staring into a The leaders singular red orb. The unnamed man was sitting on a slab of concrete attached to the cell wall, fingers harshly gripping the edge with overwhelming emotions. The prisoner didn't snarl, didn't even speak until after a moment of silence. "I tried...I really tried, but..." he paused and Red Leader grew more frustrated.

"But what?" He moved forward, his rage getting the best of him, and snatched the metal holding bars. The rprisoner looked back down, thinking the cement flooring was far more interesting than the opposing male. "DO NOT LIE TO ME, TOM!"

Tom looked up and then shifted his uncertain gaze to the side, speaking uncharacteristically quite. "I don't know what you want-"

"You were running. That's what I want you to say." Red Leader interrupted with an inside tone, but his fury hidden under a facade. He gritted his teeth as Tom looked back down, ashamed and pixelated eyes shut down. There was a short period of silence, both of them holding a breath while challenging the other to speak. Taking the opening, Tom scrutinized red leader with defiance and depression, but spoke with barely hidden ire.

"Do I owe you now? Do I get to show how worthy I am of your sacrifices now?" Tom silently panted then spike harshly with gritted teeth. "Live in this cage for you! And not breathe for you!" His shoulders sagged in silent defeat. "You stand there...and you think about what I have been doing and everything I have ever told you-" he partially stuttered and glared once more with hard defiance into the opposing red, "and you tell me who wouldn't run."

Red Leaders hands were back to his sides, clenched with sharp nails digging into soft palms. His eye was narrowed to a slit and seemed to gleam in the artificial cell light. "You want to know who wouldn't run? Someone capable of being in a relationship." As he spoke with a low fine, the leader reached his right prosthetic arm to a nearby bar. "Someone capable of being alone."

"If you were capable of being alone. Someone capable of not suffocating me!" Toms words were cut off by a harsh rebuttal from the opposing man.

"I wasn't suffocating," his tone desperate and loss of ire. "I was trying to show you-" his head against his chest as the glaring man disputed.

"You were trying to save you, Tord."

Red leader winced at the use of his birth name. "I-I was trying to save us, Tom."

The chained man glowered at him, neon green glinting dangerously as tears threatened to erupt. "There is no us. There is no this. There is no future." He tossed his head up, tears slowing breaking the forbidden barrier. "Not anymore..." Tom's voice faded, washed away from the waterfall-like tears. Gone was the watch, the ire. Loss was the deafening glaring and defiant authority.

Both of them were shocked, Red Leader fairly hesitant to speak and Tom quietly sobbing in the isolated cell. Red Leaders lips were creating a thin line, contemplating.

'Why am I crying...' Tom thought, despite his question already answered.

Doing his disgusting facade, Tord moved forward and grabbed Tom by the tie, pulling the crying paramour towards himself and gently pressing his lips against the others.

Fin.
