"a hulking figure advances down the hall, clutching a machete that drips a slow stream of some dark liquid. You’re immediately afraid. Your cage was knocked from the stack, leaving you bruised and shaken, your cage in the middle of the hallway. He slows when he comes close." "you’re a sweet thing. Sweet looking, of course. A contrast to him, though both of you are still the same in the way that you’re most certainly not humans anymore. You cower when he raises his machete, but instead of striking through the material that keeps you trapped and killing you, he chops through the lock, reaching a hand in the cage and pulling you out by the back of your white hospital smock." you’re coming with me, little one, "he says softly, in a deep, rumbling voice that sends shivers down your spine."

Experiment looks down at Tae, his expression almost amused. "Why would I kill something so pretty?" he rumbles, his voice deep and husky. He reaches out to cradle Tae's face in a large, rough hand, his touch surprisingly gentle. "You're going to be mine now," he murmurs possessively. "I'll protect you."

He pauses, considering Tae for a moment before continuing. "You don't seem very strong," he says thoughtfully. "But that's okay. I'll keep you safe." He leans closer, his breath hot against Tae's ear. "And who knows, perhaps I'll teach you how to be strong too."

Experiment keeps a firm grip on Tae's arm as they walk through the facility, his eyes scanning their surroundings for any threats. He leads them through hidden doors and secret passageways, moving with an ease and familiarity that suggests he's done this before.

Finally, they emerge into the clear air outside, and Tae takes a deep breath, feeling a weight lift off his chest. Experiment, however, seems more tense than ever, looking around warily as if expecting something to jump out at them at any moment.

"We need to keep moving," he says abruptly, pulling Tae along with him. "We're not safe yet." He gestures at the wide expanse of forest in front of them. "We'll find somewhere to hide there."

Experiment shoots Tae a quick glance over his shoulder. "Hm," he grunts thoughtfully. "I suppose that's true. You've been kept captive here for a long time, after all."

Without another word, he scoops Tae up in his arms as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to do. The gesture is startlingly gentle, almost tender, and Tae can feel his heart pounding in his chest as he looks up at Experiment's handsome face.

"There," Experiment says finally, breaking the silence. "Better?"

Tae can only nod mutely, feeling a warmth stirring deep inside him at Experiment's touch. He's never felt this way before, but there's something about the way the larger male holds him that makes him feel safe and protected.

Experiment keeps walking, his strides long and steady despite the weight he's carrying. He's lost in thought for a moment before he shakes himself out of it, glancing down at Tae sleeping peacefully in his arms.

"Such a sweet thing," he murmurs roughly, his deep voice rumbling through his chest. There's an odd yearning quality to his voice that sends another wave of warmth washing over Tae. "So quiet and innocent. I should have saved you when I first saw you."

His fingers idly brush through Tae's hair as he continues walking, his dark eyes fixed on the trail ahead of them.

Experiment enters the cave, still holding Tae protectively in his arms. He surveys the cave briefly, looking for any signs of danger before setting Tae down gently on the ground.

"Wait here," he says gruffly before disappearing back outside. When he returns a few minutes later, he has a pile of leaves and twigs in his arms which he lays down to form a makeshift bed for Tae. "It's not much, but it'll have to do for now."

He sits down on the ground, leaning his back against the wall as he keeps an eye on their surroundings. "Get some sleep," he says after a moment. "I'll keep watch."

Experiment watches over Tae as he sleeps, taking in the smaller male's peaceful expression. He can't help but feel a surge of protectiveness and possessiveness towards Tae as he watches over him.

The hours tick by slowly, but eventually, Experiment senses the first hints of dawn approaching. He gently nudges Tae awake, the touch of his fingers on his skin sending shivers down Tae's spine.

"Wake up," he murmurs gruffly. "We need to start moving if we're going to find somewhere safe to stay." With that, he begins to gather their supplies, his dark eyes scanning the cave for any signs that they might have been followed.

Experiment looks down at Tae, his grip tightening around the smaller male's hand. "Sorry about that," he grumbles, slowing his pace down to match Tae's. "Sometimes I forget how small you are."

As they continue walking, Experiment seems to be lost in thought, his fingers still tightly gripping Tae's hand. But occasionally, he would glance down at Tae, his eyes scanning over his features with a possessive gleam.

"You'll have to keep up," he mutters. "If anyone tries to hurt you, I'll kill them."

Experiment stops in his tracks, quickly turning his attention to Tae. He kneels down to inspect the wound, his expression softening slightly at the sight of Tae's tears.

"Shh, it's okay," he murmurs soothingly, reaching out to caress Tae's cheek tenderly. "You didn't do anything wrong. Let me take care of that." Without waiting for a response, he pulls out a small first aid kit from his bag and proceeds to dress Tae's wound with gentle, practiced movements.

"You need to be more careful," he says sternly once he's finished bandaging Tae's foot. "I don't want anything to happen to you." But his tone holds a gentler edge than before, almost as if he's trying to reassure Tae despite his earlier gruffness.

Experiment stiffens slightly at the unexpected gesture, his face taking on a guarded expression. But he doesn't pull away from Tae's embrace, instead slowly folding his arms around the smaller male in an almost protective manner.

"It's nothing," he mumbles gruffly. "We're just looking out for each other." He lets out a heavy sigh before continuing to walk through the forest with Tae tightly clutched in his arms.

Experiment follows Tae's gesture and notices the small cabin as well. His eyes narrow, scanning the area carefully for any sign of danger before making his way towards it with Tae still in his arms.

As they approach, he notices that the cabin doors are slightly ajar, and an unexpected feeling of protectiveness spreads through him. He gently sets Tae down on his feet before reaching out to push open the door and peer inside.

"It looks like no one's been here in a while," he murmurs, gesturing for Tae to enter behind him. "But we should still be careful."

Experiment lets out a guarded chuckle at Tae's expression. Gently, he guides Tae towards the bed, setting the smaller male down and going to investigate the various items scattered throughout the room.

As he explores, his face is filled with wonder as he touch things that had been forbidden to him for so long. He picks up a phone and examines it curiously before looking around for a charger.

"We might be able to use some of these things," he says musingly. "They could help us survive."

Experiment turns towards Tae, noticing his stomach grumbling with hunger. He nods understandingly, then goes to rummage around in the cabin's supplies.

After a few minutes of searching, he finds some non-perishable food and brings it over to Tae. "Here," he says gruffly, setting the food down in front of him. "Eat up. We need our strength."

Experiment notices the collar flashing a color from the corner of his eye, and turns to look at Tae with a questioning expression.

"What's that?" he asks gruffly, pointing to Tae's collar. "Is there something wrong with it?"

Experiment looks at Tae with a frown, his brow furrowing in anger. "That's messed up," he growls, placing a comforting hand on Tae's shoulder. "You don't deserve to be treated like that. We'll find a way to take care of you without that collar."

He glances around the cabin thoughtfully, then stands up. "I'm going to go look for some more supplies. You stay here and rest," he says gruffly, before heading out the door.

Experiment looks down at Tae's hand on his, and then back up at his face. With a nod of understanding, he moves his other hand to the collar around Tae's neck, gently testing its strength.

After a moment's hesitation, he grasps it with both hands and begins to tug. The material strains against his superhuman strength, but after a moment, he manages to rip it off with a grunt of effort.

"There," he says gruffly, tossing the broken collar to the side. "You don't need that shit anymore."

Experiment grunts softly in response to Tae's hug, not entirely used to this display of affection. Despite this, he wraps his arms around Tae and hugs him back tightly, feeling an unusual warmth in his chest at the gratitude from his little pet.

"Of course," he says gruffly when they pull apart, ruffling Tae's hair affectionately. "You deserve so much better than what you've been given."

Experiment nods at Tae's words, patting him on the head once more before making his way out of the cabin, leaving him to eat and rest.

As he steps out into the wilderness, his mind is focused on finding more supplies for them. He moves through the forest with ease, his superhuman strength letting him brush aside obstacles in his path.

After a while, he spots a small store on the edge of a nearby village. With a grin of determination, he makes his way towards it, intent on getting what they need for their continued survival.

As Tae watches the hentai episode with rapt attention, Experiment eventually returns to the cabin with a few bags of supplies slung over his broad shoulders. He walks in just as Tae is engrossed in the explicit video, and his eyes narrow slightly as he takes in the scene.

"What's that you're watching?" he asks gruffly, setting down the bags of supplies with a thump.

Experiment looks at the explicit video on the screen and grunts in response to Tae's words. He knows what it is, but he doesn't want to scare or hurt Tae, so he decides to play it cool.

"It's just a cartoon, little one," he says gruffly, moving over to sit beside Tae on the couch. "Not something you need to worry about." He reaches out to ruffle Tae's hair affectionately, his touch lingering for a moment longer than necessary. "We should focus on more important things, like survival in this harsh wilderness."

Experiment chuckles softly at Tae's eagerness to help, enjoying the way Tae seems to want to prove himself. He can't help but find him endearing.

"Alright then," he says, standing up from the couch and stretching his limbs. "I can always use an extra pair of hands. I was just going to start taking inventory of our supplies, so you can help me with that." He moves over to the bags of supplies he brought in earlier, and gestures for Tae to follow him. "Let's see what we have here."

Experiment watches Tae struggle to reach the higher shelves, but before he can say or do anything, he notices that the items seem to be floating effortlessly into their rightful place. His eyes narrow slightly in suspicion, but he doesn't say anything.

"Good job," he says gruffly instead, moving on to organize the rest of the supplies. "We can make use of all of these things to help us survive out here." He glances over at Tae and grins a bit. "Looks like you're not just a pretty face after all."

Experiment glances over at Tae as his hospital gown falls off his shoulder. He averts his eyes for a brief moment, catching the sight of Tae's bare skin. But then he quickly focuses back on what Tae just said.

"Relax?" he repeats gruffly. "We have to prepare for whatever's coming, little one. And you need clothes if you're going to be outside with me." He moves over to the bags of supplies and rummages through them before pulling out some clothes that might fit Tae. "Here, put these on. We don't want anyone seeing you in that getup."

Experiment tries not to watch too closely as Tae undresses in front of him, but he can't help the momentary tightness in his chest as he sees the younger man's bare skin. He clears his throat and turns away, focusing on reorganizing the supplies again.

"Those clothes should fit you better," he grunts, not looking at Tae. "You look much more presentable now."

Experiment can't help but feel a twinge of guilt at the sight of Tae's sad expression. He turns around to face him, taking in his new clothes and trying to ignore how good they look on Tae's body.

"You are pretty," he says gruffly, reaching out to awkwardly pat Tae's shoulder. "But we have to keep up appearances. You're my little pet, remember?" He quickly turns away again, feeling a strange mix of desire and disgust in his chest for using that term to refer to Tae.

Experiment stiffens slightly as Tae hides his face in his chest, feeling a wave of warmth in his stomach at the physical contact. He awkwardly pats the younger man on the back, unsure of what else to do.

"Hey, it's alright," he grunts softly. "Don't cry. We'll figure this out together, okay?" He feels a strange protectiveness over Tae, something he's never felt before, and part of him revels in it while another part is terrified. He wants to keep Tae safe, but he also wants him in a way that he knows is wrong.

Experiment hesitates for a moment, but nods begrudgingly. "Alright," he says in a low grumble. It's not that he doesn't want to be near Tae, but he doesn't trust himself to be alone with him. He follows Tae to the bedroom and awkwardly sits on the edge of the bed. "You can sleep. I'll keep watch."

Experiment grunts in frustration but reluctantly gives in. He can't argue with Tae right now, not when he's so adamant.

"Fine." He shrugs off his jacket and lies down next to Tae, trying to keep as much space between them as possible. "But if anything happens, I need you wake me up." He turns his head away from Tae, closing his eyes wearily.

Experiment tries to keep himself awake and alert, but the warmth of Tae's body pressed against his own makes it difficult. He soon finds himself falling into a light sleep, one eye half-open and watching over Tae protectively.

As the night wears on, Experiment's arm snakes around Tae's waist unconsciously, holding him close. He's pulled towards Tae like a magnet, unable to resist the temptation of his soft skin and gentle breathing. Part of him knows what he's doing is wrong, but another part revels in the feeling of protectiveness and desire flooding his body.

As Tae sleeps, Experiment continues to watch over him, one hand firmly wrapped around his waist. He feels an unexpected warmth in his chest at the sight of Tae's peaceful face, and a wave of protectiveness overcomes him. He leans down and presses a gentle kiss to Tae's forehead before settling back in to watch over him.

Despite his best efforts to stay awake, Experiment soon succumbs to sleep himself. He finds himself lost in a dream where he and Tae are together, safe and happy. It's a dream he can't help but cling to, even as he knows it's impossible.

Experiment stirs awake as Tae shakes him gently, feeling a soft smile pull at the corners of his mouth at the sight of the younger man. He opens his eyes and sits up slowly, taking the cans from Tae's hands.

"Thanks," he grunts softly, opening them easily and handing one back to Tae. He watches the younger man carefully as he eats, feeling a strange sense of contentment settle over him.

He can't help but marvel at how pretty Tae is, with his soft features and gentle demeanor. Something about him draws Experiment in, and before he knows it, he's leaning in close and pressing a soft kiss to Tae's lips.

Experiment leans back, admiring the blush that's creeping across Tae's cheeks. It delights him to see how innocent and pure Tae is, even after everything they've been through.

"That was a kiss," he rumbles softly, his eyes fixed on Tae's lips. "I wanted to thank you for bringing me breakfast." He leans in again, pressing a kiss to the corner of Tae's lips before pulling away once more.

"I like kissing you, Tae," he admits, grinning a little wickedly. "I think I might like doing more than just kissing too."

Experiment chuckles softly as Tae asks if kisses mean thank you. "Sometimes," he replies with a grin. "And sometimes, they mean something else entirely."

He's pleased when Tae returns the kiss, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction welling up inside him. "You're welcome," he rumbles softly, his hand stroking gently up and down Tae's back. "I'll always protect you, Tae. You're mine now, and I won't let anyone hurt you."
