| Violence | Mutual Love |

You've been kidnapped.

But the good news is? It's your lover who kidnapped you.

And another good news? It isn't the first time.

So, you just sat there waiting for him. Waiting on whatever he wanted to do with you.

And after a while, you heard slow, deliberate footsteps.

Walking toward you step by step, as if all the time in the world is in his hands, and along with it, you could also hear a metallic sound.

"Ser, baby? Is that you?" you said as softly as you could.

You can't see anything. Everything is dark around you. Your hands are tied behind you to a chair.

You're completely at his mercy.

"Don't speak," he said coldly.

"Baby... I—" but before you could finish, a piece of cloth was shoved down your throat.

"I told you not to speak. Why are you going against me? Why? Don't you love me anymore? What? Because of that girl?!" As he spoke, he became more and more angry, and at the end of his words, he suddenly slapped you.

You can't speak and can barely breathe; you are gagged and blindfolded.

He suddenly sighed. "Baby, why are you being bad? You know how much I hate that." He caressed your swollen cheek. "I already told you not to be like this. I already told you that you wouldn't like me like this, but why do you keep doing this?!"

He gripped your jaw hard.

He threw the cloth away and suddenly made you drink a liquid that you're so familiar with.

And immediately after that, you felt like throwing up, along with intense dizziness.

You breathed heavily, trying to literally suck in all the air while you still could.

"Baby... gasp... that— that is my mom. What are you talking about?!" you said, agitated.

"Shut up! She kissed you on the cheeks! I told you I don't like that!" he said as he sat on your lap, slapping you left and right. "I hate you! And I don't care about that woman! I hate her!!" he said, becoming more and more angry.

It has always been like this. For some reason, he is always prone to jealousy and unreasonable behavior.

Getting angry at the smallest things ever.

You breathed harder. It's getting hard to even focus. You feel an intense and familiar sense of dizziness, along with a bit of hallucination.

You sighed, but couldn't do anything and just indulged him.

He has always been dependent and irrational when it comes to you.

And you know why—he saw you as the hero he needed to protect him.

Because of that accident.

You thought, what if that accident never happened?

But of course, there are no what-ifs.

"Baby... I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault... baby," you said, trying hard to explain.

He looked at you and got up.

And forced you to drink yet another bottle of that liquid.

"It's your fault."

He said as he gagged you again and left you alone in the basement.

...

And after that, as always, he came back while crying, yelling at you for being dumb and hurting him.

And after he removed the rope around your wrists, you could only hug him and comfort him.

Kissing him and touching him, just like he wanted.

"Hmn..." he said as you carried him toward the bed, kissing him all over.

After you passed the hallucination stage, your body would feel an intense heat that could only be relinquished by his touch.

"Remove my clothes..." he said as he gasped and wrapped his arms and legs around you.

...

You carried him toward the bathroom, cleaning him and putting comfortable clothes on him.

While you were in the bathroom, the maid had already cleaned up all the mess in the bedroom, so by the time the two of you came back, the room was already clean.

You hugged him, pulling him into your embrace.

It has always been like this—him being unreasonable, doing whatever he wanted, always being insecure and jealous.

But you can't do anything. You love him and can only indulge whatever tactics he wants.

"Mhn... I want chocolate milk," he said softly, looking up at you and getting closer.

"Okay, baby." You kissed his cheek and put a blanket tightly around him as you got up, but before you could even stand, he already gripped your wrist, looking at you angrily and clearly displeased.

You sighed and carried him into your arms as you went to the kitchen.

"Dumb..." he muttered, and you could only kiss him to make him feel better.

After sex, he is always craving chocolate and being 200% clingy.

...

"Let's go to the park," he suddenly said while snuggling into your arms as you watched a movie.

"We're going to leave the house together?" you said, shocked.

He looked at you angrily. "What? You don't want to go out with me? You don't want to be seen with me?!"

"No, no... of course not, baby. I naturally want to go with you," you said as you hugged him tightly, and seeing that he didn't push you away, you breathed in relief.

It's just that... he finally let you go out of the house, which is a great surprise.

...

While walking hand in hand, with him snuggling closely to you—

"This... is the first place that we met," he suddenly said, smiling as if it's the best memory ever.

I mean, it is—but... it's also not.

"You saved me out of nowhere, saving me from that scarred-faced, nasty being from touching me." He suddenly kissed your cheek. "You're my hero," he said, smiling happily.

You kissed him back.

It is the happiest moment for him, because it's the first time you two met each other, creating this wonderful relationship.

But it's also one of the most traumatic experiences he has.

You gripped his hand tightly.

But he just looked at you as if that moment didn't exist.

You two walked peacefully until sunset.

"Let's go home," he said, frowning. "I don't like anyone looking at you," he said, pulling you toward the car.

You just kissed his cheek and let him pull you around.

...

He kissed you, looking at you deeply before leaving.

He has work, so he can't always be with you, but he can't help but look at you as if him going to work is entirely your fault.

You sighed and kissed him, telling him lots of sweet things before he reluctantly left, reminding you to always text him every 30 minutes of the day.

After he left, you just sat on the sofa blankly.

Until a call interrupted you.

You looked at the phone with a smile on your lips, but when you saw who was calling, the smile on your face vanished entirely.

You walked calmly to the balcony, avoiding the CCTV cameras that your lover had placed around the house to monitor you while he's at work.

You answered.

And if Ser were here, he would immediately know who was on the other end of the call.

"Sir, we already eliminated _______ and tricked the police into thinking it's a suicide," he said respectfully.

It's that scarred face.

"Hm." You ended the call.

You looked up at the sky—no emotion, unlike what you always show your lover. Nothing at all.

You don't want him to experience that, not even a bit.

But that's the only way.

Ok, so!

I have a stupid little game I play on my phone. It’s nbd and you join a little team and fight zombies. I love to play before bed or on my lunch breaks to take my mind off things.

One thing about this game is that you can have a national flag in your profile pic. You don’t have to, but people are from everywhere and it’s kinda cool to see. Idk about all other teams, but my team has a VERY strict “no politics at all” rule. Fine. Great, even. I could use a break from that. I don’t want politics in my relaxing resource management zombie game.

I had the US flag for the first week of playing, and someone joined my team with the username “Antizionism.” I messaged the game leader and said “hey, I don’t want to get into the weeds of this. But that dude’s username is a bummer.” Leader messaged me back and said “I’m sorry I didn’t even see them join. I’ve messaged them and said they need to change their name or they’ll be removed from our group.” Idk what the ended up doing but I had no trouble from anyone again there. I was so pleased by this guy’s swift action.

The weeks went by and the game has been great. No politics. No strife. After the Antizionism guy, I was a little worried about encountering hatred after forming relationships on the team. So I immediately changed the flag from USA to Israel. I figured, if anyone was gonna show up and be an ass, I’d rather know early on that my team hated me than have it be a surprised after I make new friends. Nobody batted an eye or said anything. It was great. A guy with a Palestinian flag joined. We became good friends! No issues at all!!! It’s like a little digital utopia but it’s a digital zombie apocalypse LOL.

As we’ve all progressed in the game, we keep getting new features and challenges. Unfortunately, one of those new challenges is a weekly event where everyone in our little server gets to battle with a specific other server. Our opponents change each week. My server is super chill and great. Other servers? Not so much. I started getting private messages from people I’ve never met or interacted with in the game saying, “Palestine is better.” Like…ok. Annoying. But shrugged it off. They can think that. It doesn’t affect me. But last night I got one from someone that called me a “baby killer.”

Unfortunately, the game does not offer a way to send an image privately to leadership. So I had to go on the main team chat window and share the pic and essentially say “hey. Can a team leader take care of this? It’s bumming me out. I wanted to message privately about this but can’t find any way to send pix. Sorry to post something like this in the group thread. Idk what else to do.”

I had expected them to kick me out of the group for breaking the no politics rule (tbh, it would’ve been fair. Everyone else has stayed FAR away from politics or anything even tangentially related. They keep it a really safe space over there and even though the harassment was directed at me, I felt bad about bringing the topic up in front of everyone and violating that safe space). At BEST I thought they’d say they’d use their admin privileges to reach out to the harasser’s team leader and ask them to stop.

I got a message notification from a group leader that began “I found (the message you sent earlier). Listen to me very closely…” and thought, “Here it comes. I’m getting yelled at or kicked out. Oh, well.” I went back to work for a few hours and then finally opened my messages. It…was not what I expected.

Here are the comments I got from a whole bunch of different people in the group, starting with the one from the notification preview:

One person even messaged me on discord! (R4 just means team leader, an honor offered to me many times but that I have turned down because I know it would lead to increased exposure to other servers and more harassment)
