Time Warp: Look Who It Is... (Oriel)

[Deleted]

It was a small thing which triggered Oriel.  Kodi probably didn't even realize it as he was playing around and trying to treat Oriel like he had back when they were teenagers.  But he had to be very clear very quickly about what was okay for Kodi to do and what was not okay for him to do.  A bitch kissing his Dom in this place was a sign of insubordination and had to be rectified immediately.  Otherwise, Oriel ran the risk of losing his status among the inmates.

Yeah, they were doing a shit job.  They knew if they didn't turn the other way for half the stuff that happened, then they'd actually have to do something about it.  "And what're you going to do about it?" he whispered. "Complain? They don't give a shit, it's your word against theirs. Who do you think they'll listen to?"  Here, you either had to be able to look out for yourself or find someone to do it for you.  Kodi was lucky he found Oriel first.

"If that's what you want to do," he answered.  It didn't matter to Oriel if Kodi got himself killed.  This pact Oriel was initiating was just to keep everyone else from messing with Kodi.  If Kodi wanted to be stupid and mess with them, then that was his choice.  "But if you're the one picking the fight, don't expect me to come save your ass. I ain't that generous."

Oriel stood right after throwing Kodi, looking down at him with a stone hard stare.  But apparently the noise of skull on metal was enough to get the guards to finally respond. By the time they got there, Oriel was pressing the weight of his shoe on the man's back, forcing him harder down into the floor. "No promises," he uttered, a thin smile crossing his lips as the guards pulled him off. Oriel rose his hands and looked between the pair with a scoff. "Relax fellas, I'm done." He looked down again at the shivering body on the floor. Kodi probably needed medical attention. "Just giving him a warm welcome. No need to shit yourselves."

Shit, Kodi had had no idea of what would happen because of his actions. Oriel had been oddly calm, collected, not letting his temper even spark at Kodi's earlier taunts and pokes. It had made Kodi let his guard down, a mistake he wouldn't do again. Apparently his stay with Oriel might not be as almost enjoyable as he had hoped.

He shivered as Oriel whispered to him, swallowing a whimper that threatened to come out. The man had gone mad in here, hadn't he? Oriel had just been playful and dominating before, now he was just.... Cold and dark and lacking any empathy that Kodi could see. "No wonder Phoenix stopped visiting," he growled under his voice. "You're insane." Apparently he hadn't learned his lesson enough yet. He just couldn't help it.

Kodi simply growled and grumbled as his new 'master' spoke again, keeping his mouth shut to avoiding risking further punishment now. He couldn't say he wouldn't pick fights, but he'd do what he could to keep himself from starting them. "Yes.... Oriel," he finally mumbled, head lowered and shoulders slumped.

When Oriel's shoe planted on his back, Kodi grunted and let out a whine, cheek pressed flat against the cold floor. "Whatever you say," he moaned, hardly realizing the guards had noticed until Oriel was forcefully taken off of him. Kodi slumped up into a sitting position against the bed, still wheezing slightly. His teeth were sharp, and could be seen as he panted with his mouth open. "Warm, my ass..." he mumbled. Kodi managed to pull his sore, broken body up on the bed and lay on his stomach, far too exhausted and in pain to do anything more. "You gonna let me sleep now, or fuck with me some more?" he drawled quietly, rubbing some more blood off of his upper lip.

Oriel? Mad? Who knows? The man had been put in an environment where his natural sensitivity would only be a burden on him. A weakness. His tendencies to connect and attach himself to people would only have made things harder on him. Throwing all that away was the best thing he could have done for himself.

"Maybe," Oriel said, his voice still a flatline. Though he only tightened his grip in his hair. That wasn't offensive enough to warrant anything more than what he was doing. Besides, Phoenix wasn't something that could be used against him anymore. Love him as he did, to survive and even deal with his sudden disappearance, Oriel had long since had to cut him from his heart. Unfortunately.

Oriel backed away from the Kodi that was picking himself up from the floor, keeping his arms held up as the guards directed him away. "There'll be plenty of time for fucking later." He snorted with an empty grin. "Enjoy your nap." At that, Oriel allowed himself to be ushered out of the cell to whatever kind of isolation or discipline might be coming to him, leaving Kodi to himself for the time being.
