Warnings: Age regression, drug addiction, toxic dynamic.
Authorās note: Hope youāll like it! It kinda reminds me of my old dark!Rafe fics.
āWhat is that?ā You asked, throwing a small bag of cocaine onto the table, right in front of Rafe. You werenāt surprised with what you had found in the pocket of his jeans, but you werenāt satisfied with your findings either. He promised you that he would quit, and here he is, sitting right beside you, with not even one hint of surprise or guilt on his numb face.
āYou promised me that you would quit! You promised me that a hundred times, Rafe!ā You tried to keep your voice calm and stern, but it was pretty obvious that you were close to your breaking point right now.
Why would he do that to you?
Why would he promise you one thing and then do completely another behind your back?
Instead of responding to you, Rafe simply laughed, as he always does, with a harsh, amused laugh that made your skin crawl.
āWhy would you keep believing me, though?āYou felt as though his words were a cold shower. It felt like an awakening from a long, comforting dream.
The same question that you were asking yourself for months after every single one of Rafeās relapses finally slipped from his own lips.
And he was right. You shouldnāt have believed him in the first place.
āThatās it.ā You said after a long minute of complete silence between you two. Your tone was now stern, even though your voice was still shaking from all the emotions. You stood up from the chair and quickly picked up your bag, getting ready to leave Tannyhill as fast as you could so you wonāt have time to change your decision once again. āI'm done.ā
This time there was no Rafe begging for you to stay, no crocodile tears, and no other manipulations, and somehow it made you feel even worse. You had the acknowledgment that leaving him was the best choice for you, but it didnāt help you feel any less lonely. The thought of stepping outside the door and leaving everything you had behind terrified you.
It made you feel small, which was even worse.
However, just as you were finally ready to open the front door and leave, you heard quiet footsteps from down the hall. You turned around just to see Rafe standing there, with a soft, almost warm smile playing on his lips. āYou donāt want to do that, do you, baby?ā
Something felt off. Maybe it was the sudden change in his demeanor. Or maybe it was the very specific word that he used. The word that Rafe would usually use when you were regressed or close to regressing. He would always immediately notice when you were close to slipping in, and he was most definitely able to understand that right now you were stressed enough for that to happen.
āI see that you are lost right now, baby, but there is no need to run away from me.ā Rafe took a step closer to you, and instead of taking a step back, you did the same, leaving the idea of running away from him far behind. āYou can always leave, but we both know that no one would be able to take better care of you, isnāt that right?ā
You nodded, simply not being able to reply. The feel of guilt washed over you once again. You felt guilty for wanting to leave, even though you werenāt supposed to feel that way.
Rafe was the one who screwed up big time again, but somehow your brain felt too weak to acknowledge and accept that.
Resentment that slowly changed into guilt and frustration was a pleasant sight to him. It was exactly where he wanted you.
Rafe wanted you small and numb for him to be able to fill your little head with his own thoughts and decisions.
āDaddy has a small problem, but he will deal with it, okay?ā His words sounded reassuring, even though he was obviously lying. He had a lot of problems and wasnāt very good at dealing with them. āYou believe me, baby?ā
It wasnāt even a question.
Rafe already knew the answer, because your eyes and your poor trembling body were speaking louder than any of your words ever couldāve.
By now he knew that you once again made yourself believe in every word he said.
And you will keep believing him, because after all, you needed him too much to pay attention to such small matters.
Rafe cupped your cheeks, caressing your soft skin with his thumbs and adoring that numb look in your eyes.
āThatās my good girl.ā He whispered, before moving his hands to your waist and pulling you into his embrace, that felt almost too tight and heavy. Your head was lying on his shoulders while the same thought rushed through your head over and over again.
It seemed that yet another attempt to leave ended up being exactly the opposite of what you wanted it to be.
