lowkey obsessed with the idea of harvey sitting you down in his lap, your back to his chest, and holding your chin to make you watch his goons tear apart someone that dared to disobey him, just as a reminder of the brutality he’s not only capable of, but sees every day. you really should appreciate just how much he does for you… see what he’s protecting you from? it’s really your fault he has to make you watch all this. things would be so much easier if you would just be his willingly <3
youuuuu get me
Especially if you’ve been begging to go outside the penthouse, even just for a car ride. He finally agrees one night and says you can come with him to a business meeting as long you behave yourself and listen to him. The neon lights are all a blur as you press yourself against the glass and savor the sights and sounds of the city up close. It’s been so long since Harvey’s let out of the building, let alone roam anywhere inside of it that wasn’t his penthouse. He kept you so high up in your gilded cage you almost forgot what sirens blaring past you sounded like.
His “meeting” was nothing more than collecting on what he was owed down on the docks, nestled in the shadows of the shipping containers. You took in the salty smell of the sea and desperately tried to ignore the poor man his goons were pummeling as Harvey pressed him for the cash he was owed. The shouting stopped and you thought it was finally over when Harvey guided you with a large hand to stand in front of the man.
The man’s pleading fell on Harvey’s deaf ears as he flashed his coin.
“You want more time?” he growled lowly. “Let’s see what the coin has to say.”
The scarred side came up on the back of his left hand and he snapped for his goons to descend. You turned away sharply when they slammed his head into the concrete and stamped a boot down on his chest.
“No,” Harvey whispered lowly in your ear. “Look at him.”
You whined as he held you in place, letting his trench coat drape over you from behind.
“Is this what you’re beggin’ me to let you back to?”
You shook your head and let the tears fall.
“Don’t I keep ya nice and safe in the penthouse? Huh?”
You nodded and turned into his shoulder, wailing after the dealt the killing blow.
“I don’t want to hear anymore lip about coming down anymore. Understand?”
You nod and curl into him as he covers you with the rest of his coat.
