Vincent, give Jonah a new shock collar that is activated by loud noises… like talking or yelling. It’s up to you if you tell him that or not.
CW: cursing, shock collar, conditioning
Every now and then, Vincent removed Jonah’s shock collar to clean it and replace the batteries - in the meantime, Jonah was allowed to take a bath and relax, the warm water and the bubble bath soothing his bruised skin. Today had been one of those days and he had enjoyed it tremendously, especially since Vincent had still seemed somewhat miffed about his reaction when he had offered him breakfast in bed the day before.
When he entered the bedroom, Vincent already waited for him; with a sigh he walked over to the vanity mirror and sat down on the stool in front of it, lifting his damp hair a little.
‘Let’s get over with it,’ he grumbled.
‘Still so demanding,’ Vincent chided, shaking his head.
‘What’s your goddamn problem? I don’t even fight you anymore when you put that…thing on me as if I were a fucking dog!’
Suddenly he fell silent and his hands shot up to his neck.
‘Hey, what is this, that's not the one you usually put on me, what’s- AHHHHH! Vincent, what-’
He started to scream and received yet another shock.
‘Vin-’
The intensity of the the shock made his throat feel as if it was on fire; he couldn’t even scream anymore and bent over, panting heavily.
‘I think you already found out what this new collar does, right?’
Jonah slowly lifted his head and looked up at him, his face contorted with pain while Vincent kept smiling.
‘Every single time your voice gets louder than a whisper, that collar automatically emits a shock - I don’t even need my phone for that any longer!’
‘You- HGNHHHHH!’
Vincent sighed.
‘That’s exactly what I explained to you a minute ago. You can’t actually be this stupid.’
‘Why do I have to wear this? Am I not even allowed to speak anymore?’ Jonah croaked in a low voice.
‘You may speak,’ Vincent explained patronisingly, ‘but decently. And quietly. Until you’ve learned that, you’re going to wear this collar. It’s up to you how long it will take.’
