Kris: "I know, baby, I know this is something you want." Kris assured him, sitting up so he could hold Taemin in his lap. "But Minnie, you're a right now. That's your strongest weapon against Lust, if you lose that he'll have nothing stopping him. I don't want to take that away from you and risk him hurting you. Don't you understand? Please Minnie, I want you more than anything, but I just don't want to see anything worse happen to you."
Taemin: "What's the worst he can do?" Taemin asked, rubbing his eyes and feeling low. He wanted to be an adult about this and not stress Kris out but he was heartbrokenly aware of the fact that he didn't have any remote control over anything anymore - it was either lust driving his actions, or Kris forbidding them. Or anger. His anger seemed to be growing more and more out of control lately, making him lash out.
Kris: "I don't want you to ever find out." Kris said softly, "I'm sorry Minnie, I love you. I do. Please believe me." He begged softly, "I love you more than anything. I can't see you get hurt."
Taemin: "It's going to hurt anyway." Taemin whispered, but he decided not to argue anymore. He leaned into Kris' chest and decided to just let himself cry it out. It wouldn't really make him feel better, definitely wouldn't fix anything, but it might make him tired enough that he could sleep and pretend none of this had happened. It was honestly humiliating to be denied again and again, and a serious hit to his ego. He almost hoped someone else would come soon, but he was cherishing his time with Kris, before things got too bad.
Kris: Kris hugged Taemin tightly and gently d his head, "I love you Minnie." He whispered , hating himself with every single tear that Taemin shed. "I love you so much and i'm so sorry. I want to give you everything you want, I do. I just want to keep you safe and it kills me inside to know that I can't."
Taemin: Taemin sniffled and held onto Kris tightly. "J-just don't leave me." Taemin whimpered. "Not tonight. Please."
Kris: "Minnie, i'm not leaving you." Kris promised, closing his eyes tightly and kissing Taemin's head. "I love you, okay? I do. I love you and I hate that i'm hurting you, please, what can I do to make you stop crying?" He begged softly, he wanted to comfort Taemin but he just didn't know how.
Taemin: Taemin sniffled and wiped his eyes, curling up with Kris and closing his eyes as he tried to relax, his head heavy on Kris' shoulder. "Chocolate." He finally said, pouting.
Kris: Kris nodded and hugged him tightly, "As soon as we get out of here i'll find you all the chocolate in this damn place." He promised.
Taemin: "Okay." Taemin whimpered, hugging Kris tightly again. "Thank you." He whispered.
Kris: "I love you Minnie." Kris said softly, "And tomorrow we're leaving, punishment be damned."
Taemin: Taemin swallowed, a little smile coming to his face. "Thank you. I would be so lost without you."
Kris: "I would be even more lost without you." Kris said softly, kissing his forehead.
Taemin: Taemin lifted his head and stole a quick kiss before resting his head on Kris' shoulder again. "M-maybe we should find more productive outlets for our boredom. I'm going to end up vanishing the whole building bit by bit and get us both killed."
Kris: "Like what?" Kris asked, completely open to that idea. He didn't really enjoy the constant punishments anyway. This place was rather uncomfortable to sleep in.
Taemin: "I don't know." Taemin admitted. "Maybe you could teach me one of your languages?"
Kris: "And which one would you like to learn?" Kris asked, chuckling a little bit because he hadn't expected Taemin to go that route.
Taemin: "English?" Taemin asked, smiling up at him.
Kris: "Alright, well what do you want to learn in english first?" Kris asked, realizing he'd never tried to teach a language before, and he wasn't even completely sure he remembered English anymore. He hadn't used it in so long.
Taemin: "How to introduce myself?" Taemin asked hopefully.
