“I just don’t know how to mess with him today, I feel like we have done it all, it’s getting repetitive…”
Shigaraki sighed after he spoke and spun around in his gamer chair, pissed off. The routine he has with Chisaki has gotten repetitive, Kai knows what to expect, what to say, how to be good.
While Twice thought over Shigaraki's statement a lightbulb went off over his head, “You know I was just watching the office, and Jim found Dwight’s wallet in the parking lot, and he was thinking about how to prank him but Pam said the funniest thing to do would be to leave the wallet alone and give it back to Dwight, and that’s what Jim did.”
“Twice, why on earth would you bring that up? Are you trying to piss me off?”
“I’m just saying, I think you should try being nice to Kai and that will be enough to freak him out. No it won’t be enough!”
Shigaraki thought it over for a second, and an almost cartoonish smile came across his face. He chuckled lightly to himself then grabbed the armrests on his chair and tapped them for a minute before shooting up.
“Thank you for the inspiration.”
“Of course Boss! Fuck off!”
Shigaraki practice skipped down the hallway to the shitty room they stuffed Kai in. He didn’t bother knocking before unlocking the door and swinging it open and entering unannounced. Kai’s eyes shot up from his predicament on the ground. Shigaraki forgot he hogtied him earlier, yesterday earlier.
He looked so pathetic and under his eyes were raw and had some dried salt from tears. Kai’s lip wobbled and Shigaraki could tell he was about to let out begs and pleas to be untied.
“We’re playing the silent game. I have a surprise for you!”
Kai’s expression somehow grew more panicked and he just looked down in response to the news. He shook as Shigaraki untied him and let him go. Every couple manipulations of the rope Shigaraki would intentionally brush up against Kai in some way and make the hairs on his body stand up and goose bumps rise.
“There we go, all nice and free.”
Kai slowly got up and carefully stretched, suppressing any groans he wanted to let out.
“Alright, get up we are going to the bathroom.”
Kai just nodded and followed Shigaraki down the hall.
“Silent game over, you win.”
Kai’s mind was swirling in shock. He never won that game, Shigaraki would just say that then keep playing until Kai fucked up and use that as an excuse to hit him.
“…yay.”
Shigaraki laughed at Kai’s pathetic celebration and grabbed his upper arm, leading him into a shower. Kai looked over to the shower head and a washcloth nearby and began to mentally prepare to be waterboarded but Shigaraki just turned the water and grabbed the detachable shower head and pointed it to his hand. He let the water run until it was warm and started to hose Kai down.
Kai let out a little noise of surprise but eagerly accepted the rain. Shigaraki made simple gestures with his free hand and guided Kai through what he wanted. The water paused for a second and Shigaraki rolled up his sleeves and grabbed body wash and squeezed a generous amount on his hand and lathered it up. Kai flinched and froze up but Shigaraki just carefully scrubbed Kai clean, making an effort to not put pressure on any of the wounds Kai had. His hands worked expertly around Kai’s legs, moving up to his ass, then chest. Kai was ready for Shigaraki to harshly twist or pinch his nipples, but the adult never came.
With every kind touch and gentle caress Kai’s heartbeat grew and his mind became more and more panicked. Shigaraki stared down at Kai and smiled at Kai’s visible worryline. Shampoo went about the same and Shigaraki just continued on. Once Kai was all clean he turned off the water and motioned for Kai to get in the bathtub.
“really? …Why?”
“The water will be ice cold.”
Kai frowned slightly at this and got in. Shigaraki turned the water on and did not make it ice cold, in fact, it was hot. Shigaraki made sure Kai was set and then left. Kai’s eyes were following Shigaraki throughout this whole ordeal and let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding in as Shigaraki left. Kai’s eyes went to the filling tub and his shoulders were relaxed slightly. His eyes closed and he began to doze off. He hoped he would fall asleep and drown, Shigaraki would have forgotten about him, just like how he forgot he tied Kai up, and would come back later to Kai’s bloated body in the tub. Kai always heard that once the lungs fill with water the rest of the drowning is peaceful and there is nothing else you can do other than wait for the kiss of death.
Sadly his wish didn’t come true and the door swung open with Shigaraki holding a bowl of fresh fruit.
“Hungry?”
Kai looked suspiciously at the fruit, unsure of what to say. Before he could speak a strawberry was shoved in his mouth anyway.
Kai thought about all of the possibilities of what Shigaraki could have done to that fruit. And he shuddered. He could have pissed on it, gotten it from the trash, bought it from a witch. Hell if he knows. Just just say quietly and ate, trying not to think of all of the odd things that have happened today.
After the fruit was done Kai was dried off and walked back to his prison. When he arrived the interior was different, it looked like someone had vacuumed, and there was a giant dog bed in the corner, assisted with a pillow and blanket.
Kai spun back to Shigaraki. “How did you tamper with it.”
“What?”
“What horrible thing is going to happen to me tonight?!”
“Just lay in the bed Kai.”
“If I do will I wake up tomorrow?”
“I didn’t do anything to the bed”
Kai was about to protest more but he was so tired and the bed was so soft once he was pushed into it. A tear fell from his eye as he was tucked in and Shigaraki closed the door. He failed to compose himself and just struggled while falling asleep. Into the night sniffles and cries of anxiety were heard from the door to anyone walking by Shigrakis most favorite pets door.
