@♡ lucas wong ᵈᵒᵍ "he's a bad man, lucas." ten let out a shaky breath, arms tightening around the dog boyfriend as he buried his face into the boyfriend's neck. letting the boyfriend hold him as tight and as long as he needed. his heart ached, eyes falling shut as he let out a shaky breath. "he... he would hurt you. he /will/ hurt you. he's not a good person. just please- stay away from him. stay away from him--" he stopped, eyes wide as lucas began sobbing and he said those words. those three words he had avoided for as long as he could. "lucas.." ten began, his voice soft. quiet. struggling to find his words to comprehend the bubble of feelings within him.

@♢ ten “He made it stop though… he made the pain stop… but.. but I felt nothing… it was like I was air… like I was nothing..” he hiccuped again and held the other man tighter. He held him so tight like he was going to vanish, like he was going to turn off again. The way the man whimpered as he moved his cold hands to slide up the man’s shirt to feel the heat of his back was enough to make his body relax even as he cried. “Master… I…” the boyfriend paused and started sobbing against his neck as he squeezed tighter. “ I love you…”

@♡ lucas wong ᵈᵒᵍ "lucas... pup--" ten began to speak, his voice soft.. quiet. reaching up to wipe away the boyfriend's tears with worried eyes as the boyfriend began to hiccup within his cries and instead chose to return to ten's neck. to bury his face into ten's warmth and scent as he tightened his arms around the boyfriend. a soft kiss pressing against the boyfriend's temple, whispering quietly against his head. "he's wrong, lucas... he's very wrong.... pup- pup, if you ever see that man again, stay away from him." ten said quietly, whispering against the boyfriend's ear within their closeness. "stay away from that scientist... he's a bad man. he will do terrible things to you and i don't want him to hurt you..."

@♢ ten “I…”he tried to talk and started hiccuping as he cried. His head hiding against the scientists neck and his eyes shutting. He felt so warm in the man’s arms and all he could do was murmur against the man’s skin. “I…I came here looking for you… I did… and… and you were here and I couldn’t find you anywhere… I thought you hated me… that man told me you were never coming back… that you didn’t love me… that you hated me… that I was bad… we’re all bad”

@♡ lucas wong ᵈᵒᵍ "no.. no, lucas. it's not your fault... don't cry please--" ten whispered, squeezing the boyfriend in his arms with a firm hug before he pulled back, reaching up to begin wiping away tears from the dog boyfriend's cheeks as the scientist looked at the dog boyfriend with a gentle gaze. "you're not bad.... you're not bad, lucas."

@♢ ten When he was pulled into the scientists arms, he felt his tears pour more and more as he remembered why he was hear. He remembered the sorrow and the fear that ten hated him. Tears spill down his cheeks more as he sniffled and slowly wrapped his arms around the man waist. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry I’m bad… I’m sorry…”

@♡ lucas wong ᵈᵒᵍ as lucas began to rouse from his undead slumber, the scientist finally breathed out a sigh of relief at his reactivation. and as much as the scientist wanted to scold the boyfriend.. the most he was concerned about was the fact that he was safe. /lucas/ was safe and not in the hands of a scientist like dongwook. "no. no, you're not dead." ten whispered, squeezing the dog boyfriend close. "you're safe... and you're here. that's what matters."

@♢ ten There was nothing, nothing inside him, nothing in his mind, it was darkness and then suddenly his thoughts filled with light again, his eyes slowly opening as the blood flowed through his body. Every inch of his body hurting as it warmed up. A familiar smell hit his nose and once his vision came back, Lucas saw him. He saw his creator, his master. The tears slowly brimming in his eyes as he felt them trickle down his cheeks. “Master… am I dead…am I dreaming?” His voice hoarse and faint as his eyes still needed a moment to regain their life.

@♡ lucas wong ᵈᵒᵍ he walks into the laboratory, the lab door slamming shut behind him as he looks around for the dog boyfriend, dongwook's words echoing in his mind, leaving him... how else would it make him feel? he drew in a shaky breath as his search becomes more desperate--only to freeze when he sees a mass of white and two pairs of legs sticking out of the corner of the desk. and immediately, he rushes over, pulling the lab coat off of the body and nearly letting out a choked breath in relief. reaching out to touch the dog boyfriend's cheek, his eyes wide at the cold and the lack of warmth and red to the boyfriend's cheek and begins to wonder, how long had he been deactivated like this? letting out a shaky breath he hurried to pull lucas' unconscious body into his arms for a tight hug. an futile effort to warm the now cold, pale body of the boyfriend before he gathered his wits and finally pressed his lips against those of the dog boyfriend to wake him up.

@♡ lee taemin ʳᵃᵗᵗˡᵉˢⁿᵃᵏᵉ without nothing more, he returns to the lab. stepping into the laboratory and into his office. eventually sitting back down as he draws in a slow breath. his eyes falling shut as he tries to maintain an air of indifference... only for him to turn to his computer in silence to pull up the tracker on lucas and quickly snapping a picture of the dog boyfriend's general location before he gets up and tosses his lab coat to the side. grabbing his jacket and leaving the lab and the mansion to chase down the dog boyfriend.

@♢ ten oh I’m finished, no need to keep you away from your work. Maybe make a new Lucas since no one will no the difference since we’re products after all. Maybe if you’re lucky this one will just get hit by a car or something… it is pretty dark outside.
I smiled happily
Well I have my bags to pack for my trial, and you have a new dog to replace.
I smiled more and shrugged my shoulders a little
This was a fun game we played together, ten. Guess you won you heartless you ~
I kept smiling and turned to walk away with a pep in my step

@♡ lee taemin ʳᵃᵗᵗˡᵉˢⁿᵃᵏᵉ it dawns on him all too quickly once he heard those footsteps, the pitter patter of the dog boyfriend's telltale bounciness in his step now gone and it takes everything to keep the scientist from staring at the snake boyfriend in horror.
... if you're finished, i'd like to return to my work.

@♢ ten I don’t have to tell him anything ten, you just did.
I gave your cheek a hard pat and a smile as I looked back behind me and called out
Lucas did you hear that? Ten really does hate you after all. Better to know now right buddy?
I heard the sound of a trash can topple over on the floor and the sound of foot steps rubbing farther away down the hall before I heard a door slam
Oh- maybe he’s running away now- I mean… if my ‘owner’ said he hated me and never wanted me I’d probably do the same

@♡ lee taemin ʳᵃᵗᵗˡᵉˢⁿᵃᵏᵉ you can tell him everything that i said.
he hums simply, his cold eyes on the rattlesnake as a slow smile grows over his lips.
since i made you, he won't complain. after all, you'll fit him much better than i ever will.
now, are you finished? i have work to do.

@♢ ten I paused and looked at you blinking twice, I smiled and hummed a little
Wonderful, then I’ll tell him you said that. Oh I bet he’ll cry, that’ll be fun. Probably do that whole master hates me thing again, that’ll be funny to reassure him that’s true don’t you think?
I reach over and squish your cheeks together and smile happily
You’re probably meaner than me ten, no wonder you made me~

@♡ lee taemin ʳᵃᵗᵗˡᵉˢⁿᵃᵏᵉ lucas? is this what this is about?
i raise brow, staring at you as you stalk closer, my head raised high as i narrow my eyes at you. pausing when you ask to give lucas to you. and for a brief second, a flurry of emotions flickers over his features before quickly masking it all up again.
you can have him. i never wanted him to be attached to me like that in the first place.

@♢ ten Is that what you did to Lucas? Did he piss you off one too many times so you made him so painfully obedient to you?
I walked closer to you and a hiss could be heard as my slits stared at you for a moment before I hummed
Since you’re so irritated by him why not give him to me? I’ve always wanted a pet and I think he’d be fun to play with. Hm? What do you think? You dont want him.

@♡ lee taemin ʳᵃᵗᵗˡᵉˢⁿᵃᵏᵉ it won't cause any issues at all actually.
his grin widens, strained as he rests his hands on his hips.
i have to deactivate you anyways once the trial is confirmed. he won't know the difference between one taemin and the next. after all, you're a product, taemin. you can easily be remade with a much more pliant and obedient personality. so, don't tempt me.
he growls through his teeth.
i have to get back to work, what do you want?

@♢ ten Now that’s pretty mean considering I came all the way here to check on my one and only creator.
I smiled and cupped my own cheeks as a faint rattle sound could be heard
And besides I’m being trailed soon, would that cause some issues for you? Since that is my ‘purpose’.

@♡ lee taemin ʳᵃᵗᵗˡᵉˢⁿᵃᵏᵉ when a scientist comes by to inform me that you're at the door... yelling, i let out a sigh. brows furrowed, walking to the door and out of the lab and through the door with a scan of a pupil and a code punched into the wall.
you know, i can deactivate you if you're looking for trouble, taemin.

I walk all the way toward the lab and look at the two men guarding the doors, my eyes then glance into the window and start yelling
Ten quit being a ing baby and come out here

@♡ lee taeyong ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡ /takes a few hours to replace the missing feathers, admiring the gold scattered throughout the white, finding it oddly aesthetic; taking your hand in my own, checking the sealed cut to make sure the glue is holding before tucking the tube of super glue into your pocket just in case you need it, all finished up as I just stare at you now, unable to bring myself to reactivate you as I take a sharpie and write the words "kiss me" on your forehead before scooping you up and moving to deposit you back in the main lounge for someone else to awaken/

@♢ matt rife [H] /I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him. Is the thought that races through my mind as I just have to observe. Feeling outside of myself and my body as I just have to observe something that I can't really see. Wondering if my voice and thoughts are really that annoying, though I did always guess that./

@♡ lee taeyong ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡ /doesn't move until I taste the hint of blood on my lips, forcing me from the trance I was in as I move to pick up your limp body and place you down on the table/ not your fault that I like you? /Rolls my eyes as I drop down in my seat, marveling at the silence that finally allows me to clear my head/ how conceited- /mumbles as I turn my attention towards the printer, quietly plucking one feather after the other upon completion, placing them into a pile as I sit with my thoughts in the silence/

@♢ matt rife [H] No.no.
/Falls onto the cold hard floor at the deactivation./

@♡ lee taeyong ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡ Boyfriend 276 deactivate. /Sighs out, my bottom lip between my teeth and chewing off the dead skin as I stare at you with a flat expression/

@♢ matt rife [H] /looking down at the floor not sure what I was expecting as a reaction but is still disappointed./
Great. I will go and do that. Thank you for the advice.
/hopping down from the table after you put in the wing, moving away from you./
Let's not talk then. I'm not prodding for anything, I just want for us to converse but apparently I'm asking for too much.

@♡ lee taeyong ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡ O-kay. /Sighs and just shakes my head after hearing your entire spill/ look- I'm just here to do a job. I don't need to have any lengthy conversations with you or tell you how my day is- none of that. You want a conversation? Go to one of the customers you're supposed to be trialing with or another boyfriend who's lonely. /plucks another finished feather off the printer to come and wedge it into place a long the spine of your wing/ I don't know why you keep insisting we talk. It's like youre prodding for something. What do you want from me?

@♢ matt rife [H] I'm not trying to fight with you. Why do you assume that I'm trying to pick a conflict with you? We were having a nice time.
/looking down at my hand with semi curiosity wondering why it is such a bad thing/
I'm not being destructive, I've never hurt anyone. All I ever do is get hurt and I'm expected to take it and smile.
/rakes hand through hair frustrated/
I'm sorry for who I am but it's also not my fault that you like me.

@♡ lee taeyong ᵃⁿᵍᵉˡ /takes a few steps back, sitting on the edge of my desk as I cross my arms, teeth gritted from the aftermath/ Im beat. I don't have the energy to fight with you right now. And your programming is so ing screwed up I don't even know where to begin addressing it. You hurt yourself. You turned destructive towards humans- /bites my tongue as I fade out into my own thoughts for a moment/ I'm trying to piece together if this is who you were all along and I was projecting or if you really did change for the worse.
