So, I couldn't resist commissioning my dear @albino-whumpee again, because I couldn't get this scene from the Broken Trust AU out of my head 😊 So here they are, beautiful bitch boy Domenic and his lovely captive!
Thank you so so much for drawing them, Moya!!! Amazing work as always 💕💕💕
Thanks @b0amagination for providing an absolute gem in modern literature (I won’t reveal which part of the dialogue it is though 😏)
CW: captivity, freezing, implied creepy/intimate whumper, blind whumpee, mention of past hand whump, swearing, implied character death

Jonah wrapped his arms around his legs.
“It’s getting colder in here.”
“Nonsense. The temperature hasn’t changed. You just think it’s colder because you’re not moving.”
“You know I’m right.”
“Just walk around for a bit and you’ll be warm again,” Vincent sighed, slightly annoyed.
“You’re so incredibly funny,” the younger one hissed, “Walking around where? In this tiny fucking room where I can’t even see a thing?”
“Do whatever you want to, as long as you shut up, I’m tired of your complaints… what am I supposed to say? I won’t be able to see a fucking thing ever again! But instead of just sitting around and whining I’m trying to come up with something to get us out of here!”
“So? Any plans yet?” Jonah asked sarcastically. “Because you’re just sitting around, doing nothing.”
“Well, I can’t do anything, can I?”
“Are you going to use your blindness as an excuse for everything now? He did horrible things to me as well and I’m still trying to figure out how we can escape this nightmare!”
“Good! That’s all I want you to do!”
“I still can’t do this all on my own!”
“Do what on your own? If you have a plan you should really consider sharing it with me!”
“You know that there’s only one thing we can do.”
“And what might that be, if you don’t mind me asking?”
Vincent sounded angry, but at this point, Jonah didn’t mind anymore; what was he supposed to do to him anyway? They had to rely on each other, he wouldn’t even think of hurting his former captive now… So maybe they could actually get away from this place if they worked together.
“I already thought that you wouldn’t have an answer to that,” Vincent snorted when Jonah stayed silent.
“I do.”
“What is it, then? What’s your plan?”
“Wait until Domenic comes back and get his ass.”
“He’s ace, you insensitive prick.”
Jonah’s jaw dropped for a short moment, then he started to cackle - only seconds later, Vincent joined in. They both knew that there was really nothing to laugh about in their current situation, but it felt so good, even if this moment of ease was gone after just a few seconds. They fell silent until the younger one’s curiosity made him speak up again.
“You were joking, right?”
“About what?”
“Him being ace.”
“Nope, he is. Aroace, to be precise.”
“Then why did he… you know…”
“What?”
“He touched me and made… some suggestive comments.”
“Oh, that.”
“Yeah, that. Why did he do that?”
“I guess he just wanted to humiliate you. It’s not a secret that you don’t react well to intimacy.”
“Wonder why..,” Jonah muttered, turning away.
After a moment of silence, Vincent spoke up.
“You were right.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s really getting colder.”
“I know.”
“Let’s get up and move around for a moment, I think it’s because we’ve been sitting on the floor the whole time.”
“Huh…”
“Come on, help me up!”
“No, I don’t want to, I- ahhh! What was that for?”
“I told you to help me up.”
“And I said that I don’t want to!”
Vincent hit his arm again, but then he leaned back and rested his head against the wall.
“We have to find a way to stay warm. As soon as possible.”
“What do you mean? Wait- he is decreasing the temperature in here, isn’t he? He- he can do that, right? He’ll let us freeze to death!”
“No!” Vincent interrupted him vigorously; then, way softer, he added: “I don’t think he’d do that.”
“But he could?!”
“Well, technically…”
“Oh my fucking God!”
Overcome by despair, Jonah smashed his fist against the wall, only to cry out in pain; for a second he had forgotten that his wrist had been shattered only a few days ago.
“Stupid boy..,” Vincent whispered and groped for the other man’s hand in the darkness.
He could feel the blood seeping through the bandages and even though he was somehow grateful that Domenic had patched them up after smashing Jonah’s wrist and driving a nail through both their hands, he knew him well enough to realize that this didn’t mean anything. He might still kill them. In a way, Domenic was like a cat that enjoyed playing with its prey until it finally decided to devour it.
“We’re going to die here, aren’t we?”
“Not necessarily.”
“Is there anything we can do to get out?”
“No.”
“But-”
“He’ll come back sooner or later. We’ll just have to stay alive until he does.”
“Oh, is that all we have to do? Stay alive until he’ll get us out of here and subjects us to even more horrible things?” Jonah screeched, panicking now.
“Yes, it is. And we can do that as long as we work together. It’s the only chance we have. Now come on, get over here.”
“What do you want from me?”
“We have to keep each other warm.”
“Not like that.”
“Do you prefer freezing to death?”
“I’m seriously considering it right now.”
“Don’t be such a fool.”
He felt a hand on his sleeve and tried to move away, but the hand was holding him back.
“Let me go!” he hissed, trying to break free, lashing out at Vincent and hurting his hand even more in the process.
“Stop that, just this once - stop it and come over!”
“I don’t want to get near you! It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t kidnapped me-”
“Jonah, shut up, will you? It doesn’t matter now, I’m just trying to get us out of here!”
“You’re the one who got us into this situation in the first place! It’s your fucking house and your fucking friend, why don’t you know how to get out of this fucking cell?”
“Stop swearing!”
“I fucking won’t!!!”
He drew back and curled up in one of the corners and glared at the older man, even though he could barely see him in the darkness.
“You’re going to die if you stay there,” Vincent grunted, wrapping his arms around his knees.
“Good. Can’t wait to finally be through with all of this.”
“Stop saying that, we’ll get out of here. Alive.”
The young man only snorted and leaned his head against the wall. He didn’t care anymore.

“Jonah.”
“Hm?”
“Don’t fall asleep.”
“I’m tired.”
“I know. But you have to stay awake.”
He turned his face away when he felt an arm around his shoulders, but he was too weak to move, even when he felt the ice cold skin of his captor touch his cheek, the chapped lips too close to his own.
“Stay with me, Jonah…”
So cold. So tired….
Breathing a small sigh, he closed his eyes.

The loud beep of the opening door aroused both of them from their sleep.
‘Wakey, wakey!’ Domenic laughed as he stood in the doorway, looking down at both of them. ‘Hey Vince, how are your eyes doing? Grown accustomed to your new life already?’
When he didn’t get an answer, he took a step backwards and reached behind him. A faint growl could be heard and seconds later, a huge dog appeared in the doorway.
'Holy shit,' Jonah gasped and pressed himself against the wall.
'What is it?' Vincent asked anxiously, 'Jonah, please tell me this isn't what I think it is…'
'German Shepherd,' he confirmed, 'A very angry German Shepherd…and it is approaching us.’
‘Awww, stop calling him it, his name is Dexter and he just wants to play with you!’
‘But we don’t want to play with your fucking mutt,’ Vincent hissed and crawled back into his corner, pale from fear.
‘Dexter - attack!’
Both men screamed as the dog started running towards them. He seemed to have realised that Vincent panicked and turned on him first, snapping at him until he got hold of the man's arm. He tried to fight him off, but since he couldn’t see anymore, he had gotten completely helpless; even if his hands hadn’t been bound, he wouldn’t have been able to defend himself. The more he screamed, the more aggressive the dog got, holding onto his arm as if he wasn’t going to ever let him go again.
Crouching in the utmost corner of the cell to avoid getting in contact with that vicious dog, Jonah stared at Vincent in terror. His screams made him even more aggressive, especially now that he was already drawing blood.
‘Stop that!’ Jonah yelled at Domenic, who leaned against the doorframe and watched with an expression of delight. ‘It’s going to kill him!’
‘Oh, if Vinnie-boy doesn’t stop screaming and lashing out he might, that’s right. Maybe tell your boyfriend to calm down?’
‘He’s terrified!’
‘Haha, yeah!’ Domenic giggled, ‘It’s a sight to behold.’
Jonah knew it was the wrong thing to do. That it would get him hurt. And that the person lying on the floor and fighting with the dog was the person who tortured him for more than a year. But he couldn’t watch this any longer without interfering. He got up, took a run and jumped onto the dog, who immediately let go of Vincent’s arm and tried to bite Jonah instead, but to everybody’s surprise, he knew how to handle him.
Domenic rolled his eyes.
‘You’re being a killjoy again, baby boy. Dexter - drop! Heel!’
The dog snarled one last time, then he returned to his owner and followed him out of the cell.
I wanted to try a few things that I don’t want to be canon, so this is my official playground for this stuff now - featuring Jonah, Vincent - and Domenic! Admit it, y’all missed him as much as I did 😜
Well, he’s back and he’s pretty mad at Vincent for breaking up with him - and he’s never been the forgive and forget type of man...
General CW for the whole AU: captivity, creepy whumper(s), gaslighting, and more than the usual amount of violence compared to canon stuff, so heed the warnings for each chapter.
I’m going to tag the people who already asked to be tagged in the main story - let me know if you want to be added or removed!
I wanted to try a few things that I didn’t want to be canon, so this is my official playground for this stuff now - featuring Jonah, Vincent - and Domenic! I’m certainly not the only person who missed him, right? ;) And since I already have some ideas, this is going to be a masterlist someday ;)
General CW for the whole AU: captivity, creepy whumper(s), gaslighting, and probably a bit more violence than usual... heed the warnings for each chapter!
Just out of curiosity, will you be continuing the Broken Trust AU? It’s fine if you aren’t btw!
Ahhhhh, I will!!! I want to post quite a few pieces for that during Whumptober, I already finished three of them yesterday ;) The AU is so much fun, I really, really enjoy writing it :)
