Stockholm Syndrome (MewGulf AU)

Chapter 7

Gulf woke up the next morning feeling sore from last night, as if it was his first time. But it really was his first time, except this time it was with a guy. And he couldn't stop thinking how it had made him feel good in every way possible. He could still feel the sensation running through his body, the way he felt Mew inside him, giving him all sorts of pleasure. He was in pain but a good kind of pain and he could feel the pain was ebbing away.

He realized that he was lying on Mew's muscled arm and wondered if he had been sleeping on it the whole night. He slowly propped himself up with his hand, careful not to wake Mew up, and looked down at Mew's sleeping face, snoring lightly and looking all peaceful. It was insane how he felt such an attraction towards his captor, the one who had kept him hostage and tied up for hours. He hated him for that but he also couldn't deny the fact that he was starting to have feelings for Mew, like one minute he was planning to escape and the next he just felt like staying and be in his captive for however long he wanted him to. But then again who in their right mind wouldn't be swept off their feet once they had laid eyes on this perfect figure. His chiseled jawline, his perfect skin, his intimidating eyes, his broad shoulders, his biceps. Everything about him was flawless. Gulf's eyes trailed down from Mew's face to his neck, then to his bare chest moving slowly up and down heaving slow breath, and down to where his member was, naked under the blanket, and felt himself blushed.

"Where do you think you're looking at?" Mew suddenly spoke with his hoarse morning voice, startling Gulf a little. His widened eyes snapped back to meet Mew's eyes and his mouth gaped open to say something but nothing came out. Mew chuckled, amused at Gulf's cute startled expression and his reddening cheeks.

"Come here," Mew said, wrapping his big arm around Gulf's tiny figure and pulled him in so that his head was resting on his chest. Gulf hesitated for a moment but Mew's embrace was a bit tight and he had no choice but to do it anyway. And he liked it, listening to his heart beat closed to his ear. "Are you feeling better?"

Gulf nodded. "Never had anything inside me before so I'm still a bit sore but it's going away."

"Sorry if it was harsh. It was meant to be a punishment for you trying to escape," Mew said, pulling both of them back to reality of what they were to each other and thought how surreal it was for a captor and his hostage to be in the position they were in.

"You know, there's actually no point of keeping me here." Gulf spoke.

"What do you mean?" Mew frowned, confused at Gulf's words.

Gulf peeled himself away, propping himself up with his hand and looked down at Mew. "P'Saint wouldn't be able to give you back the money because he didn't have it with him," he explained. "He had to use it to pay someone off for our parents debt or else they threatened to hurt me since they already know who I was and where I lived. P'saint did it to protect me."

"So he was telling the truth."

Gulf's brows furrowed. "Wait, you knew about this?"

"Part of it, yes," Mew said as he pulled himself off the bed to a sitting position. "He told me he didn't have the money but I thought he was just saying shit." He looked at Gulf who had his eyes fixed down to his hands with burned marks around his wrists. Mew took them in his and started caressing the marks with his thumb, making Gulf winced a little at the sudden pain.

"You're right. I guess there's really no point of keeping you hostage anymore is it?" Mew said, feeling a wave of sorrow washed over him as he realized it was time to let Gulf go.

"But I wanna stay." Gulf replied, shocking Mew as he couldn't believe what Gulf had just said and his eyes snapped up to Gulf's face to see if he was making a joke about it. "I know this sounds crazy but I really wanna stay. After last night, I've never felt so alive and I want to get to know you better. My life has been such a tragedy that I forgot what it felt like to have your heart racing and your body tingling with excitement, wanting for more. Wanting for someone. And I believe that someone is you." Gulf said, his last sentence came out in a slow voice as he looked away to hide his blushing face.
