Stay (MxM)

Safe and Loved

*So my last chapter was titled - "draft", and how the hell didn't anyone notice anything wrong with that?!!!!😂😂😂*

-----------------------------------

Ant stares the ceiling wide-eyed as he failed to scream with the tie around his mouth. His hands were pinned to the headboard and Dec was smiling at him with a secret glint in his eyes.

Dec: "You can't move? Oh Anth...what am I gonna do with you now?"

Tears streamed down Ant's eyes as Dec kissed and nipped and pressed and clawed him.

Dec: "I like it when you rule me around Anth...but I like it more when you scream from beneath me...so helpless...so trusting..."

Ant feels a hash pain in many parts of his body and he crunches his eyes shut as Dec hits him again and again.

It was a real turn on... but he was getting hurt...he was getting worried...

Suddenly Dec moves from above him and Ant looks at him terrified.

Dec: "Oh, I am getting late Anth...I have to leave... It's been nice meeting you...hope we can meet someday...or maybe we won't...but stay good...oh do I owe you anything? No ..No... I can't stay...goodbye Ant..."

Ant wanted to shout to him. Ask him to stop the torture...to come back. He tries to screams and shout but the tie was tight around him. He felt weak... helpless...and utterly alone...panic siezes his throat and suddenly he sits up, taking in a mouthful of air.

His eyes adjust to the darkness and the first thing he sees is Dec's tear-filled green blue eyes staring at him concerned.

Ant: "D-Dec?" He didn't leave!

Dec: "Ant...wh- what happ-ened?" He stammers.

Ant shakes his head and rubs his face. He subtly checks his own body. There aren't any new bruises and he is fully clothed. He sighs heavily.

Dec: "Y-You need some water?"

Ant nods and Dec swiftly moves to the bedside table to pour some water into a glass. His hand was trembling as he passed it to Ant.

Ant drinks the water and as his heartbeats relax, he hears quite sniffles coming from beside him. Ant frowns and switches the bedside lamp on and his heart skips a beat as he sees tears erupting from Dec's eyes.

Ant: "Dec...hey..what happened?"

He gently pulls Dec to his chest and Dec goes willingly without any reply.

Ant slowly caresses Dec's hair, holding him close as relief flooded inside him He is still here...he didn't leave

Ant: "What happened, Dec?" He asks carefully.

Dec pulls back from the hold and wipes his tears. He then takes in a deep breath. Ant was looking at him concerned.

Dec: "What did you dream?"

Ant hesitates "W-hat? Dream? Eh.. I don't remember"

Dec: "So why were you shouting and asking me to stop?!"

Ant sighs and tries to hold Dec but Dec shrugs him away.

Ant: "Dec..."

Dec: "I was hurting you wasn't I? In your dream? That's why you were asking me to stop?" His voice breaks.

Ant sighs again "Dec, hear me out-"

Dec: "Don't lie" he chokes out "Stop lying to me Ant. You are afraid of me! I should have realised it when I felt you stiffen in the shower! You think I will hurt you" he sobs the last part out and Ant's heart tugs inside his chest.
