They'd only missed two calls; yet Suki was worried. She stared at the blinking green button, wondered desperately whether or not to try again. They were probably fine- she must be overthinking.

She called again.

(ooc -> She's so worried about her boy please God)

In the end, he finally picked up.

But there was only silence on the other end. Just quiet breathing.

>> ACCEPT? Y/N . . . Y

>> 6/10/██ : Hello there. This is targeted towards the lovely soldier named Duckling. I've heard about you from friends of friends of friends— That is to say, I don't really know you, you don't really know me. However, I'm curious. You're a soldier, no? I always wanted to be, but you know, they don't like cripples down here. All of that aside, what's it like? Do you like serving? I assume it's nice. Is it? Ah, I'm so sorry to bother you with so many questions. Let's start simpler. Can we be friends? I promise I'm nice. I'm sure you are too...

>> 6/10/██ : Anyways, reach back out to me whenever you can answer. I'm always up, always open. My line never closes, haha!

TW: IMPLIED RAPE.‼️‼️

By the time noon arrived, Esteban was still in bed. His pupils shook slightly as he stared into this distance, trying to find a position that didn't hurt his back.

"Do you need the heating pad, Duckie?" Medusa hummed "lovingly", placing the infected blanket on top of his bare chest. His rotting hands caressed the younger's hair, almost making him throw up if he hadn't forced himself to look back... And force themselves to do other things.

They nod slowly, obediently like a trained animal. Once more, they stared into the distance. In the end, they had only themselves to blame, they thought. They chose to come back, aware or unaware of what he would do. How innocent was the duckling if it crawled into the mouth of the snake? Could he, after that, sob and bleed? Did he deserve that?

"Alrightie! I'll be back, Duckie!" That was the worst part about him. He was charming, changing, a good actor. He knew where, how, and with who he should appear different. On command or not, he was likeable if you didn't know what he had done.

Crawling to the edge of the bed, they searched under the couch where he had hidden his phone. Now open and with low battery, they questioned if to call anyone. What would they say? "I can't get enough of him, so I came back"? "I'm impure, and even though all he does is shower me with my own blood, I have never left cleaner"? Nothing that would help him, or invoke pitifulness in others.

Both sides of their brain were at war; if to save themselves, or let go and accept this. They didn't love Medusa, but-- they didn't hate him either. Or maybe they did and he didn't want to admit it.

Or...

Or maybe this is how love was supposed to be.

...

Maybe there was no one to call. No one could help him.

Happy pride month to everyone!! Even if the closet feels okay, if you ain't sure, if you already came out, pride month is EVERY month. I know 's hard, but you will always have people who love you.

I found mine, and I know you can, too.

But love has to come from YOU first. Be kinder to yourself, love and let live.

The story behind the nickname 'duckling's pretty lemon squeezy. In my first days I'd follow anyone above my rank, waiting for orders, until I was either told off or told to do something (usually wtv to get me off their back...). That, and because when I bleached my hair everyone agreed it was "duckling yellow". embarrassinggggg v_v""
