Warnings : Unsympathetic and Abusive Patton, Sympathetic Deceit, Blood and Injuries, please tell me if I need to add more!

------------------------------------------

Patton was furious. Things weren't going hos way. Lately, nothing had been.

The others had been listening to his dear boyfriend more often. The other dark sides helped supply evidence for Deceit's case and his famILY was slipping away down a darker path. It infuriated Patton to know end. And while the other dark sides thought it was funny, that it was great Patton was losing control...

They didn't see what the consequences were.

At least that helped Patton reign in his anger. It helped him calm down and sort out his thoughts.

Deceit huffed loudly below Patton, holding his stomach tightly as a small groan broke from his lips. Patton smirked, arms crossing as a teasing tone took on his malicious words. "Aw, is my snake going to cry already? I wouldn't do that if I were you. You know it only makes me want to hurt you more."

Deceit swallowed the insult on the tip of his tongue, eyes burning. He wished he could leave Patton. He wished he could just break up and it would be all over. But it wouldn't.

It'd put everyone else at risk.

Deceit couldn't leave Patton.

Patton hauled Deceit to his feet and slammed him against the wall, a muffled cry from the side as Patton crashed their lips together. Deceit's hands trembled against Patton's chest, pushing against him, trying to push Patton away even just a bit. But Patton just held him harder, one hand moving from Deceit's upper arm to his hands and clamping them together in a single tight hold.

Deceit whimpered as Patton squeezed tighter and their lips broke apart for a moment. He felt bile rise into his mouth at the taste of chocolate, and he swallowed it back down. A small crack filled the air and Deceit banged his head back against the wall as pain shot up his arm.

"Patton, please..."

"Please what, darling? Stop punishing you? You deserve it. You remembered what I said about disobeying me. Right sweetheart?

"Besides," Parton hummed, "I'm not even close to being through. You remember the punishment from last week?"

Deceit shuddered at the memory, at the knife digging into his scales and peeling them off from his back as he wept. Patton's smirk grew wider, revealing teeth that had slowly grown sharp over months. "Please don't... I won't- I won't go against you again, I swear. But please Patton..."

Patton hummed again, expression shifting, as if considering it. Deceit's hopes rose slightly. "How about after you need to eat the scales?"

Deceit's eyes widened and before he could shake his head, Patton was grinning again, summoning a knife into his hand. He leaned in once again, free hand unclipping Deceit's capelet and he dragged the blade gently along Deceit's cheek, breaking the skin just enough that a fine trail of blood began to slip down Deceit's face. He took in a sharp breath, and Patton claimed his lips once more.

"Yes, I like that idea very much... But remember what I said yesterday before this whole ordeal... Can you tell me?"

Deceit whimpered again as Patton kissed his cheek, licking lightly at the crimson liquid. "Don't... Don't you dare disobey another order."

"And what did you do, love?"

"I disobeyed..."

"Very good. Now get ready for your punishment."

Deceit obeyed.
