[in Hater's room, Wander had cried himself to sleep after Hater had left]
Wander: [slowly stirred frm his sleep a few hours later, tried to move bt the chain rattled wen he did. He stared at it for a moment, confused, before his brain finally caught up] Oh... :(
Hater: (enters the room) ...Had a nice sleep, did we?
Wander: [his breath hitches for a moment as he looked up to see him] H-Hatey...
Hater: (simply sits next to him) ...Tried to make another one of your stories distract me, did you?
Wander: [shook his head] ...I... It's not made up, it's true... U hv no idea wat u just did... N u won't believe me if I told u... [hugged his knees, trying to put some distance btwn him n Hater]
Hater: ...(leans closely) Try me...
Wander: [bit his lip before mumbling in a soft voice] I... I'm bound... I'm bound to u...
Hater: (blinks) ...Bound, as in... prisoner?
Wander: [shook his head] Bound as in mates for life. Wat u did... Wat u did to me...has made me bound to u as ur mate. I'm urs for life
Hater: (blinks again, before flushing slowly in the face with a bright green color)...(is silently muttering to himself in bewilderness)
Wander: [tries his luck again] It's in star nomad's culture tht we mate for life. We choose our mates very carefully bcoz once we consummate our union, that's it, we're bound as husband n wife forever. Evn if one of us die, we can't take another. Tht's how committed we are. Basically...in a nutshell...I'm married to u
Hater: (is fully green in the face) ... Ooh... (was feeling woozy)
Wander: [didnt notice as he kept rambling] Of course u don't believe me, u don't share my customs anyway. Ur technically not star nomad anyway, so if u wanna get out of this, u could always just kill me...
Hater: (tries to shake the feeling off as he raises a hand to pause the nomad's rambling) I didn't... I didn't know that, just... I thought I was just finding new ways to destroy you and all that! I was just....(is now rambling himself)
Wander: U were just wat? Being stupid n selfish n only care abt urself? That's wat I figured. Why did I evn bother to try being friends with u? Sylvia was right, u were a lost cause [was glaring at Hater with an expression tht Hater nvr thought he could ever hv: anger. Pure bitter anger]
Hater: ... (sighs and starts to get up to leave)
Wander: At least undo these ropes for me [showed his hands tht r still bound] It's not like I can go anywhere now tht I'm stuck with u... [soften his expression] ...Pls?
Hater: (pauses, sighing a little as he slowly undid the nomad's bounds)
Wander: [massages his chafed wrists once the ropes r off] ...Thank u
Hater: (hesitates) ... I know... (looks away) If you still need me to leave...
Wander: [looked away as well] ...U can do watevr u want. I'm urs anyways. I won't resist this time... [fiddled at the chain tht was still ard his ankle]
Hater: (swallows, reaching down to uncuff the chain) Hmm... (is cradling Wander's ankle, seeing it was a little bruised)
Wander: [flinched wen he touched him, bt soon relaxed wen he realized wat he was trying to do]
Hater: (frowns)... (leans in carefully to not scare the nomad any further, kissing the bruise)
Wander: [shivered at the kiss, biting bk a moan as it was one of his sensitive spots on his ankle]
Hater: (heard the silent moan, thinking for a second before gently kissing his way upward along Wander's leg)
Wander: [his hands instinctively grabbed Hater's horns out of reflex to stop him bcoz his mind was still terrified, bt his body betrayed him as he shivered at the sensation]
Hater: (stops when Wander grabbed hold of his horns, those being a little sensetive to the touch) ...(pulls back a bit) I get it, I just put you through something pretty bad... I can back off now if you need me to... (doesn't understand why he was somehow feeling sorry... maybe Peepers was right about him...liking Wander that way?)
Wander: [part of him felt relieved wen he stopped as he let go of the horns] I... Can I at least...shower first? I'm still...dirty frm before...
Hater: ...(sits up, keeping a small distance) Yeah... need help getting there? (can't help flushing a little)
Wander: N-No, I'm good... [tried to get up bt whimpered a little as he sat bk dwn, still a little sore frm both ends]
Hater: (sees the discomfort Wander is in; he had really done a number on him) ... (reaches forward to scoop Wander in his arms) Come on. (carries him to his private bathroom)
Wander: [gasped a little wen he was carried, bt he didn't resist him this time as he was carried to his private bathroom, then looked ard in wonder as he had nvr yet seen this part of Hater's room]
Hater: Yeah, I like having my own personal bathroom. The watchdogs have their own locker room shower or something like that. (carefully sets Wander down) Just, um... ask if you need anything and I'll let you be.
Wander: OK... [looked up at the shampoo n shower gel tht was beyond his reach] Maybe help me get tht? I can handle the rest
Hater: (takes the shampoo and shower gel, handing them to the nomad) ... (swallows not knowing what else to even say and quickly left)
Wander: [sighed in relief as the awkwardness was ovr, then fills the tub with slightly hot water before getting in n started scrubbing himself hard, almost as if trying to clean himself off frm wat just happened before, n couldn't help letting out a small sob as he did]
Hater: (hurries to his room, collapsing on his bed and hugging his knees to his chest)... Why...Why do I...? (groans as he hid his face in his legs)
