temerate - to break a bond or promise
Thanks for the request, @liliability! Do I know how to write comfort or Caretakers? No, no I do not. Send in any more requests y'all have!
~
"No! No no no no, please! Please, Caretaker! Don't do this, don't let them take me, please!" Whumpee's helpless pleading echoed off the walls of the underground garage they were in.
They were fighting against Caretaker's bruising grip on their upper arms as they tried to get away from them. They let out a sob as their body exhausted itself. "Please," they whispered hoarsely. "Please, whatever they offered you, whatever they told you, it's not worth it. Please."
Caretaker didn't even slow down fractionally as they struggled to carry Whumpee towards the waiting car opposite theirs. Whumper stood in front of it, a smile dancing on their lips they were trying to tap down.
As Whumpee glanced at Whumper, they renewed their struggles as their breathing picked up. "Please, Caretaker, please. Don't do this. I- I don't know why you're doing this but just stop!"
Tears streaked down their face as they ripped their wrists against the zip ties holding them together in front of their body, shredding through the delicate skin and causing blood to pour down them. Caretaker's grip on them tightened painfully and they slowly let their body sag, a pitiful whimper escaping their lips.
As they reached Whumper and Whumpee knew they were about to be handed over again, they made one last ditch effort. "Please, Caretaker, you promised. You promised you would protect me. You promised you love me. I-" Their voice cracked as Caretaker shoved them forward, almost directly into Whumper's arms. "I love you, Caretaker. And, and you said you loved me."
Caretaker gave them a dismissive glance. "I lied."
Whumper, smiling gleefully, wrapped their arms around Whumpee's shaking, sobbing body after handing a briefcase that had been laying on the ground next to them to Caretaker, presumably full of money. They tucked a strand of hair behind Whumpee's ear.
"See, I told you, dear. I'm the only one who will ever love you." Whumpee curled towards Whumper's chest and sobbed as Caretaker walked away without a backward glance.
19, temerate - to break a bond or promise
Persona 4 | Souyo | Rated G
—
Lying on his side in the dark, Souji was full of regret and a grating pain in the pit of his gut that he hadn’t been able to shake for hours.
“You promised you wouldn’t do this again,” Yosuke said, holding Souji protectively in his arms and gently stroking his slightly sweaty hair even though he was currently upset with him.
“I know,” Souji said miserably, burrowing further into Yosuke’s chest and kicking off the blanket that was entangling his legs in unwanted heat.
“So why’d you do it?”
“They challenged me.”
Yosuke breathed a long exhale into Souji’s hair, holding back a more exaggerated sigh.
“And you seriously couldn’t back down from a challenge?”
Momentarily feeling childish, Souji replied petulantly, “No.”
“Don’t give me lip, mister. You know you’re not supposed to break your promises.”
Dropping the attitude, Souji hiccupped, “I’m sor-sorry.”
His insides were writhing from his earlier mistake, a sensation that was not helped in the slightest by the guilt he felt from breaking the promise he’d made to Yosuke to not do any more crazy eating challenges.
But the Big Bang Burger Challenge hadn’t seemed that difficult, and his friends had pressured him into it…
“They really wanted me to do it,” Souji tried. “They even paid for my food when I couldn’t finish the challenge.”
“Don’t use your so-called friends as an excuse. You’re a big boy and can make your own decisions, including the good decision of saying no once in a while. If your friends wanted you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?”
“How high is the bridge?”
“Souji!”
“How likely am I to die from the jump?”
“You’re likely to die right now if you don’t stop it,” Yosuke threatened.
“How happy would it make my friends to see me jump?” Souji asked, now strangely invested in this hypothetical.
“Quit joking around! I’m being serious right now.”
Souji just groaned in response as his stomach rumbled painfully, and in that moment he wondered if he was being punished for trying to make light of things.
What he really wanted was for this lecture to be over.
Still, he clutched Yosuke more tightly to himself, desperately trying to find some comfort in the pain.
“You’re not a teenager anymore, you know,” Yosuke continued. “You can’t shovel down anything you find in your uncle’s refrigerator and expect not to pay for it later.”
“I’m twenty,” Souji said weakly, wincing at the effort just to speak. “I’m barely past being a teenager.”
“That’s not the point! You caved to peer pressure again, you broke your promise to me, and you made yourself sick, and that’s not okay,” Yosuke said, sounding genuinely frustrated now as he listed Souji’s offenses.
“I’m sorry,” Souji whimpered pathetically, kneading the back of Yosuke’s shirt in his fist.
“Okay,” Yosuke breathed, rubbing Souji’s back soothingly and pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Just… promise me you won’t do it again?”
In a small voice, Souji asked, “Why would you trust me after I already broke my first promise?”
“You’re the most trustworthy person I know. That doesn’t mean you don’t make mistakes. I just hope you’ll learn from this and take better care of yourself,” Yosuke said patiently.
While Souji appreciated that more than he could ever express, he was also very distracted by how devastatingly cute a long-suffering, maternal Yosuke was.
“I like when you take care of me,” Souji half-joked, nuzzling against Yosuke’s collarbone.
“Well, you don’t need to make yourself sick for that to happen. Now shut up and try to get some sleep.”
“Okay, Yosuke,” Souji said tiredly, always liking how those words sounded together.
“Do you think you’ll be okay, or should I put a puke bucket next to the bed?”
“Bucket, please,” Souji said, feeling a strong wave of nausea even as he said it.
Yosuke pulled away to go fetch the bucket, and Souji immediately felt lonely. He rolled over to lie flat on his back, but for some reason that made his stomach hurt even worse.
“I promise!” he suddenly called after Yosuke, not able to see exactly where he was in the dark.
Souji heard Yosuke shuffle back over and the weight of the bucket as he set it down on the floor. Then he felt Yosuke’s fingers searching for his shoulder before he leaned down and managed to kiss Souji right in the middle of his cheek.
“Thank you,” Yosuke said lovingly, and Souji knew in that moment with startling clarity that if it was in his power, he would never let Yosuke down again.

TEMERATE
temerate: (v.) to break a bond or promise
Temerate (v.) To Break a Bond or Promise
The first time he every breaks a promise it is not intentional, he is small and he promises to not allow anyone hurt his brother. The two are playing together near the dock, he falls and skins his knees and for the rest of the day Wei Wuxian is inconsolable how dare that plank hurt Jiang, how dare it make him bleed, and get stuck under his skin ? Luckily, Yanli is there to help and he cries because he never thought that something like that might happen. He decides that he will become more attentive more vigilant.
He learns that it draws blood.
The second time he breaks a promise, is to Madam Yu. He runs in the hall, she forced him to promise be be a good boy to be well behaved. He promises that he will be good. He is fearful. Will she send him back to the street, she is harsh. She berates him and she hits him for the first time with the Ziadan, it is the first time he has ever been hit by anything of the sort. He screams so loudly he disturbs everyone in the house. Jiang hears and comes running, it is only that Jiang tosses himself over a smaller Wei Wuxian that his mother regains her senses, her hatred is self explained. She’s no doubt heard the rumors, that he is actual the son of her husband. There is no truth to it. This time it is really not Wei Wuxian who has broken a promise, but his Uncle in the eyes of Madam Yu.
He learns even love can be broken.
The third time he breaks a promise is to Yanli, he promises her that he will not use the Stygian Tiger Seal flippantly, that he will be a good boy. That he won’t allow it to steal from him all those things that she loves within him. The bright eyes, the brilliant smile the way mischief is around him like an aura of chaos itself. He doesn’t WANT to do it. He WANTS a little peace especially after the Sunshot Campaign, he wants to be away from the politics, he wants to avoid all of those who play the game of intrigue, but he’s wound so deep into the web, that he can’t see a way out of the entanglements. He wants to be that boy for his sister, because really she is more mother and sister than just a sibling. She is part of his moral compass she is the ever pointing true arrow. He learns even a conscious can be broken.
The forth time he breaks a promise, is to Jiang and OH it hurts so much to not be able to follow through. He allows his brother to think he’s just drinking and over doing it. How many times does he allow him catch him drinking. Its water at that time, his body is not repaired enough from the loss of his Golden Core to do anything with it. He is a diamond in the rough, he is a man to tired in his own skin and his bones. Yet, he finds the will to go on. He did promise Madam on that boat, that he would take care and protect Jiang, he has no other path to walk. Wei Wuxian will always say that he values his freedom above all other, but he is lying there as well. He wants someone to look to him and tell him Come, Come on lets go home. He wants to be wanted to belong. He is of no use to himself, or to his brother, because he’s damaged goods, he’s always been damaged but now its on such a spiritual level. He can’t train anyone, he can barely tolerate his own company at that time. Try, accomplish the impossible–he tries and he fails. Its his fault but its also not his fault at the same time, its all factors.
He learns the spirit can not be broken but the body can.
He flees, he is too damn smart to know once his uses to the Clans are done, that he will be simply a target for what they want from him. He is a wild card, he is a magic user of extreme skill. If they knew half of what he could do they would have long ago simply put him down, as a dog they could not control. This time he breaks a promise to himself, its the only real promise he has willingly broken. He uses the seal. He forges a new path for himself, he reforges himself in those three months from the broken–thing he had become without his Core, still there is the strut the quick smile it never quiet reaches his eyes anymore.
He learns even laws are broken
The next bond that is broken is his trust in the common good. They gather together to put the Wen down but than what do they do ? rather than leaving those who are beaten to nurse their wounds and consider their mistakes they began to destroy them. They being little more than the elderly, woman and children. HOW can they call him wicked, how can they call him walking a crooked path, when they are abusers, when they are as bad as what he helped put down ? He is disgusted with them. His good will is broken the minute he demands the location of Wen NIng, when he storms Carpe Tower, when he stops to rescue Lan Zhan whom they are pushing drink on knowing he does not drink, he is enraged at that. They want everyone to fit into their mold. He is fed up, he doesn’t kill the guard, but he is truly the Yiling Patriarch in that instant, the moment the flute touches his lips he draws the dead back to avenge themselves. He learns morals are broken (even his own)
It seems like a simple childish promise to be broken, but it cuts as deeply as anything else in his life. He and Jiang had sworn they would make sure that their sister had the best and most lavish wedding one that people would be talking about for years after. He can’t keep that promise, nor can Jiang because what can they give that her new beau can’t ? the Jin family is the most wealth in of Clans. In a heart in turmoil it’s that little piece that breaks.
He learns childhood dreams can be broken.
A wedding vow, a young love a promise of forever is broken, it is nothing that his sister has done or that Jin Zixuan should have occur no matter how little he likes the man. Things went wrong, his bonds of control are momentarily broken and the result costs so much for so many.
He learns forever is a joke even the bonds of true love can be broken.
A simple promise to him is broken and it is the one that he still weeps over even in his next life. He took them in all of them. The remaining Wen clan they promise to work and make a life of their own in the Burial Mounds. He would give them a chance at a new life and they would not squander it. They break it in the span that it takes the woman he trusts most in his own inner clan, whom puts him to bed, and uses acupuncture to save him, swearing to go to Carpe tower and turn themselves in taking the knife out of his hands and making it so there is no weapon. They all die, for the selfish reason of not having a simple thing, his Seal. Bonds of Community can be broken
He plans to show them just how broken they are. He has no plans after there is no reason. He is going to break everything. The second his steps into Nightless City his bonds are shattered and he knows this. He even fight the one he believe is his soulmate. He sees the broken body of his sister, clutched into the arms of his equally broken brother, not outside, no outside he is quiet fit, his golden core replenished but everything else is shattered. He turns there own evil upon them, he shatters it with a snap of his finger, the Tiger Seal float down upon a battlefield that never should have been. He hears the broken and discorded sounds of flute music, but believes its in his head. How many break bonds of fealty of family and of love on that field ? His laughter is broken as he attempts to escape. He learns bonds of faith can be broken for power.
He is caught before he can break the final bond that between himself and the Seal. He turns to face the man who has fought for him all along. The man whom he truly views as his soulmate. It is not broken no, its strong as ever beating as loudly as a shared heartbeat. It it terrified and there is a sense of impending doom upon both of them. He can see it in the blood that is too red. He’s hurt badly hurt, his body already lessened by lack of Golden Core is broken it can barely support him. He doesn’t want him to see him like this, he wants –he doesn’t know what he wants. He sees the shattered look on the handsome face of the man he thinks he might well love, but what a moment to break his own heart. There is no time for this or for them. He begs him to come back to him, not to do what he can see Wei Ying is going to do. No one see’s him as the Second Jade of Lan does. He does not hold the promise the made over him like some shackle. He does not want him for anything other than Wei Ying, the name he calls, always so elegant and cultured breaks and even he can feel something break within his soulmate, as he catches his hand and refuses to allow him to fall into the abyss.
Some bonds strength with threats of breaking.
It is the final bond of brotherhood that is broken, when the sword slams into the rocky mountain side that he is being held against. He can’t stand the idea that he might bring the only still beautiful thing in the world to him over the ledge with him. If the bond of rock to stone gives. Wangji would plunge over the side with him. Would he die for him there is a real fear there that he would indeed do so. He doesn’t want that he wants him to live for him. He wants to say this to him but as the sword twists there is no more time for words and he smiles to the ones he loves, though one will hate him and the other love him beyond death. The last and final bond that one breaks is that of life and death.
He learns the secret between the bonds of life and death.
He awakes to a whispering plea a begging voice to promise he will swear to avange him, destroy his enemies he stuck in shackles of flesh and blood again. The bond of death broken as he opens eyes. @jiangswanyin
