Modern AU

You and Jabber lived together for two years. You were both studying at the same college, but in different departments. It was a little frustrating because you couldn't see each other regularly. In any case, it didn't really stop you. You were still close. Too close, even. Nothing stopped Jabber from falling head over heels in love with you, and you became a peculiar couple. He didn't know how to express his love. But were those really true feelings? It was so unusual to feel something pleasant in your chest at the sight of another person. Someone just like him, an ordinary person, no different from the crowd, no better than him. The mere thought of you being his partner made your blood boil. You always knew he had obvious mental issues, since he always acted...strangely in everyday life? He didn't hold back his barbed remarks, nor did he hide the fact that he enjoyed pain and suffering. On college days, Jabber controlled himself, quite well, but with you, he always went berserk, releasing everything he'd pent up during the day. He wanted you to treat him like trash. Initially, you even submitted to this. You bit him, pulled his hair, insulted him. Well, it didn't bring you pleasure. Only him. And it worked both ways.

You tried to be more gentle with him, while Jabber only wanted more violence and hatred. He wanted to hear death wishes instead of "goodnight," to constantly have bruises from your fingers... You wanted love. Sweet kisses, nightly cuddles. You were clearly very different, which was quite damaging to the relationship. Jabber was bored. But he couldn't leave you. He couldn't help but love you, not appreciate you. He just wanted at least a little satisfaction for his insane needs.

It was late Saturday evening. You had extracurricular activities today, so you were out of the dorms practically all day. Afterward, you stopped by the library to gather some information for a project in one of your classes. You returned home late that night. Thinking Jabber was asleep, you cautiously entered, but immediately heard the sound of someone talking. As it turned out, he was sitting on the couch watching TV. Strange... he was usually fast asleep by this time. It seemed he was waiting for your return. When you leisurely entered his room, Jabber immediately seemed to glow. Wordlessly, you settled tiredly into his lap, accompanied by quiet, contented chuckles. He tilted his head slightly, exposing his neck. Jabber wanted you to bite him, but instead, contrary to your expectations, you only planted a few kisses.

"Listen, honey..." He began with a sigh, clapping you on the back to make you look up at him. "If you don't want to make me happy, then get off and go to bed. It's annoying."

His gaze looked tired and... disappointed?
