"Open it." For my boy Josh (prompt for the five sentence fic!)

"Open it."

It isn't a request.

It's a dare. An ice-cold threat that freezes Josh to the spot. He stands paralyzed, his clammy palm welded to the doorknob. Josh's sorry life flashes before his bloodshot eyes, and his freedom taunts him from the other side of the unlocked door. It calls him, it pulls him like a magnet.

Josh wants to live, and not just survive. He wants his life back. His simple, mundane life. He'd give anything and everything to blend back into the world and fade into the background.

"Go on, Joshy. See what happens the second you open that door." Felix stalks closer but Josh doesn't face him. He can't face him. With his puffy, tear-stained cheeks and deer-in-headlight eyes. Josh's ears prick up at the sound of slow footsteps coming to a stop just over his shoulder.

"You know I'd catch you, don't you, honey?" Felix half purrs, half growls. Josh's thumping heart falls to the pit of his stomach. "God have mercy on you, I'd hunt you down like a wild animal. And when I finally find you...?"

Josh physically cringes and shrivels up as Felix nibbles at Josh's neck and kisses the dip of his collarbone. Felix slowly reaches around to place his hand on top of Josh's shaking one, on the door handle, and pulls it away.

"I'd snap your legs like twigs," Felix whispers in Josh's ear. "I would just love you bed-bound. It would be my dream come true, baby... the things I'd do to you..."

Josh hears Felix actually lick his lips and his gut suddenly twists. Josh thought his life was already a fate worse than death...somehow, it can get worse. He spins around to face Felix, eyes blown wide and sparkling - his lip wobbling like a small child.

It's a risk he's not willing to take. Any foolish bravery suddenly dissolves and his fight or flight suddenly switches off. Josh just feels empty.

He collapses into Felix's arms in a slump. His body rockets with sobs as Felix cradles him and smoothes the jet-black hair over his scalp.

"Sweet boy," Felix mumurs dotingly, "sweet, confused little boy. You know you belong with me, don't you?"

Josh nods miserably into Felix's chest.

"I'm the only one who knows you inside and out, who will take care of your every want and need. You'll never leave me, baby-blue."

How would Felix react to Josh getting stuck in a coma? (Probably from Felix's punishments)

Ohmy, I LOVE this question!!! 👀😍

Pure panic. He'd be stuck in the the in-between of unadulterated terror and crippling denial.

For a day or so, he'd try and nurse Josh back to health. Felix would be perched by Josh's bedside night and day. Tucking him in, holding his hand and whispering sweet nothings, begging him to wake up. Felix wouldn't sleep, wouldn't eat - he'd just watch Josh and try over and over to wake him.

Then desperation would set in. When he realises Josh isn't waking up and that this time, it's deadly serious. He'd call for backup - his goons friends. He'd be left with no option but the hospital, but how could he ever do that? He wouldn't be able to stay with Josh. Eyes would turn to Felix the second he carried Josh in, just skin and bones, littered with bruises and scars. And how could he ever think of abandoning the love of his life?

So, I think either Felix's hubris would get the best of him, and he'd refuse to get Josh medical help and would keep him...no matter what happens. Or maybe he would dump Josh at the hospital, possibly with the intention of snatching him back down the line 👀

#this is SUCH a fun thought #and now I'm imagining Josh waking up in a hospital all alone and so out of it and lost and confused #Felix planning how he's going to get Josh back 😈#nehehehe #thank you for this ask!!!!!! 🫶🫶💕🫶💕💕💕🫶#play pretend #josh barlowe oc #felix conner oc #coma #whump #whump writing #answered asks #whump community #whumpblr #whump blog #whumpee #whumper #captivity #yandere whumper

Thinking of the broken plate trope today 🥰😌 Josh accidentally smashing something, and within seconds he's crumbled to the floor, inconsolable. Sobbing, cowering and frantically apologising over and over. Terrified of how Felix will react.

It would totally depend on what kind of day Felix is having. If he's in a chipper mood, he'd cradle Josh and tell him that his reaction breaks his heart and he has nothing to be scared of. If he's in a grouchy mood...Josh will be in for it 🙈

So I’m curious now, how do your whumpers (so Felix, Izaak, & Ronan) celebrate their whumpees’ (so Joshy, Henley & also Izaak) birthdays?

I’m not including Declan because Vince probably doesn’t think his birthday is worth celebrating

Oh, I love this question!!!!

Felix goes ALL OUT for Josh's birthday. Honestly, it's probably the one day each year in Josh's captivity where he's not having an absolute awful time. Josh wakes up to balloons and banners all around the house. Felix will get him a pile of presents (although often some of the presents are for Felix's own gain...) and a huge cake. Only the best for the love of his life! Josh is captive for two birthdays, and on one of them- Felix takes him for a picnic outside (cuffed together ofc, and shackles so he doesn't run ;) )

Izaak didn't really care about Henley's birthday. One time he forgot about it completely, Henley didn't even know what day it was or when his birthday passed. Another he taunted Henley with it and made a point of ruining it, and showing him news clips of his family still searching for and missing him. Then Henley's last birthday was just before he was about to be sold to Ronan - so Izaak did make an effort for that one. He laid tf off him for that one day, got him a tiny cupcake with a single candle on which Henley absolutely loved.

Ronan would celebrate his pets birthdays! He'd buy them new pretty collars, or some new food bowls - maybe some dog toys or a dog bed! Get both Izaak and Henley in party hats, can you imagine ahaha Izaak would look like this:

And you're totally right </33 I doubt Vince even acknowledges Declan's birthday. Poor lil guy celebrates all by himself if he can sus out the date.

was there something you wrote with Felix and Josh that made you cry, if so…share your sorrows

ASDFGHJKL OMG THERE WAS!

It was a scene that takes place wayy down the line in Play Pretend, it may not make all that much sense without a lot of context!

But it was a piece where Felix was forcing Josh's best friend, Alec (who is genuinely in love with Josh) to shoot him - and then Felix was going to shoot Alec afterwards. No-one dies, the bullet is a blank, it's a mock execution. But you can imagine the absolute anguish and fear that put them both in. And they were both so so terrified and saying their goodbyes and confessing feelings 😭🥺 And then Felix swoops in like the knight in shining armour after to comfort Josh when he's inconsolable 🙄

Spoilers below kinda, but here's a little snippet of it:

“C-Can…Can you close y-your eyes, Josh? Please… I - I need you to close your eyes. For me. One last time.”

It’s not like Josh will remember it, but Alec refuses to let this be the last thing Josh sees. His final memory of him. Alec can’t do it whilst he’s looking. He’s completely paralysed, his finger completely stiff over the trigger - even when the rest of him is violently shaking. Josh obliges, and his eyes slip shut like he’s simply just falling asleep.

“I-I’m…I’m so scared. I fought s-so hard to not…to not end up here. I don’t want to go-” Josh croaks, his voice breaking into a high-pitched wail at the end. A warmth spreads between Josh’s legs, and a wet puddle forms underneath him, he squeezes his legs together to hide it. It’s too late - Alec sees. His heart crushes to ash all over again. Josh is absolutely petrified and there’s not a thing Alec can do to help or soothe him.

“I…I know. I am so sorry, Josh. You’ve been so brave. So strong. It’s not long now, hold on just a little longer…and then you don’t have to be brave anymore. This nightmare will all come to an end. I swear.”

“And you’ll be there? You’ll… You’ll come join me? I won’t be alone?”

“Not anymore. Never again. I’ll be there soon. Promise.”

Alec has never broken a promise. Josh scrunches his face up in anticipation, his eyes screwed shut and his hands balled into fists. He’s rocking back and forth with how much he’s hyperventilating. It needs to be done. And he trusts Alec more than anyone in the whole world. He loves Alec, and Alec loves him - he knows now even if it took this much pain to realise. This ends with everything he’d ever wanted in the first place. Someone he could love and depend on.

He’s not saying goodbye. They’re not leaving each other. Soon, they’ll be together again. It’s more of a… see you later.

“Goodnight, Alec.”

In honor of your birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), what would each of your whumpees ask for for their birthdays (assuming they could pick anything)?

OMG THANK YOUUUUU!!!! 🥰❤️

And I LOVE this question, it's something I've thought about some of them before. I'm gonna take this question to mean in captivity!

If they can pick anything, can they all pick freedom? ;)

Josh:

Josh would ask Felix for something to listen to his music on! A radio, or maybe an MP3 player. He's not stupid, so he knows Felix isn't about to get him anything with internet or the means of communicating with someone. My lil guy just wants to put some earphones in and dissociate once in a while when Felix chucks him down in the basement 🙈

(Fun fact, Felix's friend Kurtis does get him an MP3 player for his birthday!)

Declan:

If Declan could ask for anything? He'd want an up-to-date family picture 🥺 or maybe a school picture of his baby sister and see how grown up she is now. He'd treasure it, and want to frame it on the wall but would also hide it under his mattress and hope Vince forgets about it.

But I think Declan would be too scared about how Vince would go about getting the photo. So realistically, I think Declan would ask for something comfortable like a big, fluffy blanket.

Henley:

Henley would like a night light! A cute little lamp he could put in his corner, something not so bright that it keeps Izaak awake and angry. Or maybe one of those hoodie blankets that are super comfy and oversized! He'd love one of those, Ronan's basement gets so cold and Henley has so little clothing. It would swallow him, he'd just be a little head peeking out the top and two feeties.

Izaak:

Izaak would be a little sleuthy fucker. Because when is he not? I can see him asking for haircare stuff. Like a hairbrush, comb, clips. And he's just gonna go to town making weapons and picking locks, whittling his comb into a knife - breaking out of his handcuffs. Whilst chuckling under his breath "best birthday present ever. Thank you, moron."

Compromising positions?! 👀🤨 Felix is a nasty man

Truly, a sick and nasty man - I loathe him (I created him 🤪😫). Josh in his most vulnerable and terrifying moments, and Felix snapping photos so he can remember how 'breathtaking' he looked 🤢 My poor boy would have no idea the pictures even existed. He'd find pictures of before he was taken too, him showering in his apartment. Out walking his dog. So damn violating.

Hmmm, how about the word "regret"?

Wayyy in the future scene for Play Pretend!

"Would you promise me you'll never listen to those voicemails I left?"

Josh is stunned to silence. Of course he had imagined what the voicemail box of his phone must be like. Filled with panicked and desperate rambles of concern, still holding onto the hope that one day Josh may pick up.

"I said things. Things that you didn't deserve, things I'm not proud of. I - I never meant it. Not in a million years," "It's my biggest regret. They're the words of a man that was terrified. Missing his best friend. He was worried sick, confused and…lost. I was so fucking lost without you. And I felt so helpless and alone and…frustrated-"

The cool water felt like salvation on Josh’s fevered skin. (For the 5 sentence thing)

The cool water felt like salvation on Josh's fevered skin.

Felix dabs the soaked cloth across Josh's sweat-sheened forehead, gently stroking up and down Josh's shivering arms. A weary groan tumbles from Josh's dried lips, he fights against his fluttering eyelids slipping shut.

"I know...I know, my sweet prince", Felix hushes, cuddling up close to him, their body-heat mingling. Josh whines and mewls like a distressed kitten, his head fuzzy and pounding.

"I wish I could take your pain. My love, I won't ever leave your side. I'm right here."

#TY FOR THE ASK! <3 #Josh like 'pls leave my side so I can rest'#You know Felix is sitting by his bedside night and day #sickfic #illness whump #fever #dehyrdration #captivity #yandere whumper #creepy/intimate whumper #Josh Barlowe OC #Felix Conner OC #Play Pretend

what're josh and felix up to? :3

From this!

Bedtime cuddles! Whether Josh likes it or not (he very much does not if anyone's asking 🤪). But Josh is cuffed to the posts of the bed so he can't do a runner in the middle of the night or hell, even smother Felix with a pillow when he's fast asleep 🙈 so Josh is little spoon, staring at the ceiling, dead behind the eyes, as Felix smothers him with kisses.

josh trying to matchmake Felix and kuntri to save his own life desperately

ASDFGHJKL THE IMAGES IM GETTING OF THIS IS KILLING ME-

Im just picturing Josh begging to hold them a dinner together. Insisting that Kurtis and Felix enjoy the night and he'll wait on them the entire evening, bringing them food and wine. Dressed in cute little waiter attire with a bowtie. The entire time like "pls fall in love so I can go home-"

Trying to get them to spend time together and setting the mood
