Febuwhump Prompt #2: Solitary Confinement
(sorry I'm behind on these already) @febuwhump
Warnings: Sensory deprivation and claustrophobia
--------------------------------------------------
It was dark, that much you knew. Dark, cold, and silent.
"Tech!?" You called out, "Hunter? Wrecker? Anybody!?"
Not even an echo of your own brittle and broken voice made it back to your ears. The pleas fell flat and muffled like the room was designed to trap any sound - mute every scream.
You weren't sure how long you'd been here, bound to a chair in the middle of nowhere - a room? A hallway? A cell?
Maybe it had only been minutes. Maybe hours. Maybe days. It was impossible to tell.
It felt like years.
The walls seemed to shrink inwards as you struggled to breathe. It made it hard to think when the darkness threatened to smother you with the terror of nothingness. You would almost prefer physical torture over this.
A door slid open with a hiss and the darkness withdrew it's claws only to be replaced with the assaulting daggers of ruthlessly bright artificial light.
"Ready to talk so soon?" Sneered that deep gravelly voice you used to know so well.
Crosshair.
He seemed to appear as a shadow - void and empty as if consuming all the light in the room like a black hole. Impossibly nothing. But it wasn't fear that wrapped it's cold fingers around your chest now, it was the heavy fist of heartbreak.
"Crosshair please..." The fragility of those words slipping through ruined vocal chords surprised you.
Whatever happened to fighting interrogation with silence? You'd had enough of silence.
"Funny," He paused, watching you curiously, "I would've put my credits on you lasting longer than this."
It was funny. Funny how much his voice brought you comfort despite the insults he spewed. Funny how much you craved his attention despite the horrors he'd committed.
Funny how your heart still ached for him.
"Tell me the location of Clone Force 99 and I'll have you moved to a different cell."
Something about his voice seemed less threatening than before. Less intense. The light still burnt your eyes to tears, but somehow his lean form was coolant.
"I... I can't. You know I can't, Crosshair. I'm sorry."
A pause, punctuated with a heavy sigh.
"I'm sorry too."
The light shut off and once again, darkness closed in.
