#dark!wolf

Okay so dark!wolf and Reaper where Wolf can’t get Wes to do what he wants and tensions are high between them, but Wes ends up hurt on the field (maybe on purpose because self harm) and Wolf maybe comes back to himself for a bit because that fear of losing Wes comes back full force and pushes the animalistic part of him back.

yES. Like you know how when something bad happens and everything seems to move in slow motion? I think it would be like that for Wolf and then he just jolts, like being struck by lightning, and he is terrified of losing Wes. And so he's protecting him or saving him or by his side or whatever and just like, "you can't die. I need you. I love you." and for that moment at least, it's not Wolf, it's Ben.

ugh I thought of another way this could go too. It could even be that because dark!Wolf is so animalistic that his fear of losing Wes, his Master, is even worse than before. To the point that he's snarling at anyone that even tries to get near Wes when he's injured and he will kill them. And even though that's not really helpful, because Wes needs the medics, it's all he can do with protect protect protect running through his head. It's not until Wes weakly tells him to back off that he does. But he still refuses to leave Wes's side.

And then what if later, when Wes is in a bed in the med bay recovering, Wolf comes in and he very carefully climbs onto the bed and curls up next to Wes (or on him or whatever way won't hurt him) and holding him as tight as he can without hurting him. And he's shaking so bad because of the fear, but maybe the incident also re-awoke something in him. That all consuming love he has for Wes. And if he was scared of that before, he's even more so now and has no idea how to handle it. And maybe Wes says quietly, but sadly, "I love you." And he really doesn't expect an answer back, because he doesn't know how much of Ben is left in there. Wolf can't say it, he barely even talks and saying that would be even harder, but...

But with a shaky hand he writes 'I love you' on Wes's bare arm with his finger.

But think of people stepping in to keep Wes safe. People like Ian, Dom, and Shane. Maybe even Konstantin because he knows what Makarov is capable of and he can take the hits Ben would lash out with. Wes would punish himself more than anyone.

First of all, YES. Wes having protection and a support system for dealing with dark!Wolf is the best thing.

Wes punishing himself, even mentally, would frustrate dark!Wolf because that's not what he wants at all. He wants Wes to punish him. And the other thing that Wes, and everyone really, is going to notice is that he listens to Wes. Like instant obedience type of thing. Because the title of Master was transferred from Makarov to Wes when they brought him back. So if he does lash out at someone and Wes says "stop" dark!Wolf stops. The reason he doesn't stop verbally hurting Wes is because he wants, needs, Wes to punish him and control him.

Oddly enough, where Ben used to lash out at Wes and punch him, dark!Wolf would never do that (maybe shove him away, but that's all). His loyalty and obedience to Wes is absolute. He's a dog and Wes is The Master; and you don't bite the hand that feeds you.

This hurts SO MUCH. Ugh, I LOVE the idea of Wes lying on top of him, because of how comforting that weight would be. Even if Wolf HATES it, it makes him feel secure, maybe even better than the ropes. lmao basically Wes as a human thundershirt :-p

He would hate it, because even though it makes him feel secure and owned, it also makes him feel wanted and loved. And he just doesn't know how to deal with that. I still don't know how he would deal with that.

He's right. Wes ties him to the bed, though not as tightly as he wants, and finally he feels like he's being owned and it calms him. But then the bed dips and Wes lies down next to him or on top of him and just holds him. At first Wolf doesn't know what to do, but then he's snarling "what the fuck are you doing?! Get the fuck off me!" But Wes just hold him and maybe gently strokes his fingers through Wolf's hair. Wolf continues to struggle, "I hate you. I fucking hate you" falling from his mouth.

Basically it came out that he would be to Wes like he was in the beginning only worse. His twisted mind craves someone dominating him and punishing him and he would say the most cruel things to Wes in an attempt to get Wes to hit him or fuck him hard and just basically hurt him. He'd poke at every sore spot Wes has.
