If we only fallowed Lab safety protocol

Summary:

Medkit and Subspace have worked in the lab together for a while now, trying to make these crystals that are supposed to have some kind of magic work. After another failure Subspace needs to do something that he knows he can do well. Sadly Medkit is the closest person.

Work Text:

 “What happens when we add some more energy to the test?” Medkit mumbled to himself as he stared at the green crystal floating in the tube. 
 

He sighed, tapping the tube like that would make his experiment work, as if he could scare the crystal into doing what he wanted just by tapping, like it was a fish in an aquarium. He tried the experiment again, shocking the tube with more energy. The container crackled, the area around lighting up like a storm. Medkit’s face was like stone his eyes unblinking, the materials contained in his test tube get zapped, energy going into and shooting out of the mysterious crystal.

 The crystal spun, creating a vortex in the water around it, lightning and water mixing into a soup of shocking death. Medkit’s eyes widened, a small pocket of air was made in the middle of the tube, the green crystal dry and safe from the chaos surrounding it. It spun creating this safe spot for 5.78 seconds before the water came crashing back engulfing the crystal, drowning it in a concussive, electric tidal wave.

 Medkid grabbed his note pad and started writing. Energy levels at 69%. Water level at 90%. Crystal reacted exponentially. 

 “Fuck!” He heard from across the lab.

 “Please keep your noise to a minimum. I am writing my findings.” Medkit responded without looking up from his notepad.

 “What fucking findings! We’ve done nothing! I am one of if not the smartest person in this building and I can’t do shit and all you do is play with your electricity and chemicals all day!” Subspace complained from his side of the lab.

 “It challenge is no reason to use vulgar language.” Medkit replied.

 “Fucking fuck fuckity fuck.” Subspace complained stomping around the room.

 “Keep your childish temper tantrum to a minimum. I am working.” The chemist grumbled.

 “I AM NO CHILD!” Subspace screamed, “I am a scientist, a good, great scientist! I just LK.ytneed to do something, make something work, something good.” 

 Medkit ignored him. He had no interest in fueling Subspace’s ego, it was big enough without his help. He hadn’t asked to work with the man, just put in a room with the man and told to test the crystals. At first he was trying to use Medkit like an assistant. Medkit was happy enough to do science but Subspace was annoying, talking about how amazing he was and getting mad when things don’t work how he wants them too. 

 “Child I’ll show you child.” Subspace grumbled as he grabbed some chemicals and went over to his crystal. 

 Medkit watched as the scientist combined chemicals without a care in the world. Without gloves or measurements he dropped things into his tube, a mad smile on his face. 

 “You will work this time.” Medkit heard him say while he stirred the concoction.

 Rolling his eyes Medkit left the room watching from the windows knowing what was going to happen. Subspace lit a fire under his tube, bubbles appearing in the water around the red crystal, the chemical filled water quickly shifting hues. Subspace laughed maniacally as his crystal started to glow brighter. 

With a loud crack and subsequent boom smoak filled the room, a small fire starting where subspace’s work area was, the chemicals he had been working with oozing out of the tube onto the floor. The fire suppression system rang, water falling into their lab, snuffing out the fire and covering all their equipment.

 Subspace crashed out the door, he looked as if he had just escaped death by the skin of his teeth. His horns glistened from the water that alsoflattened his spiky hair and caused strands of hair to clinging to his terrified face.

“That was great.” Medkit said watching the sprinklers water their room like a garden, “I especially loved the part where it blew up, we didn’t learn anything new and you flooded our lab again. Do you think we could stop doing that?”

“Fuck you.”

“This is getting redundant.”

“You haven’t cracked the crystals either!” Subspace spat.

“I’m going to get sleep while the room dries.” Medkit said turning away from the wet room and man.

“WAIT!” Subspace yelled grabbing Medkit’s arm, “Why are you going to sleep? We've only been up for like 4 hours.”

“Because I can catch up. I stay in the lab longer than you.” Medkit said, pulling his arm away and walking away.

“Medkit!” Subspace yelled to him, Medkit continued walking.

“MEDKIT!” He yelled louder. 

Medkit’s feet didn’t even think of pausing as he continued forward. He couldn’t spend time with Subspace outside of the lab, he made his heart race and mind go blank. Medkit asked some of the other scientists around what the symptoms could mean, some said he loved the horned man, others said it was hate. Medkit didn’t know, he wanted to wait, see what the feelings truly were before deepening his relationship with subspace.

“Hey antlers don’t you ignore me!” Subspace declared catching up to and grabbing Medkit again.

Medkit tried to twist out of his grasp again but Subspace was ready for it, grabbing his antlers and shoving his head into the wall. Subspace smiled holding Medkit underneath him. He was close enough to fell his breath on Medkit’s cheek.

“I was talking to you.” Subspace said.

His eyes looked like a rusted pipe, flaky iron with a pit of darkness in the center, and if you look too long you’ll start seeing things in them. Things like a deep desire, fueled by despair and anger.

“What do you want Subspace?” Medkit asked, trying to struggle out of the other man's grasp. 

“What I want! I want those fucking crystals to do something! I want the others to see what a great scientist I am! I want to make something work!” Subspace let go of Medkit’s antler and grabbed both his hands, bringing them above his head before leaning in close. 

“Subspace what are you doing?” Medkit asked fear creeping into his voice.

“I want to make you feel pleasure.” He whispered to Medkit.

“Wh… what?” Medkit stuttered out.

Subspace smiled, one hand holding Medkits’ up as the other trailed down his body. Touching his cheeks, then chest, down his stomach, to his pants. He grabbed Medkit’s privates, moaning, falling onto Medkit. Medkit’s heartrate spiked with Subspace’s bodyweight pushing Medkit deeper into the wall.

“I’ll show you.” Subspace whispered, his hand leaving Medkit’s body, “I’m not a failure, I am great at whatever I do.”

There was a click and the wall behind Medkit fell backwards. He fell back, stumbling to say up, it was futile, Subspace shoving him to the floor after entering the room.

“Do as I say and this will be a religious experience for you.” Subspace said, closing the door behind him.

Medkit looked around the need to escape, overcoming him. Shelves lined the side walls, cleaning supplies adorning these shelves with lots of space in between. The back wall has brooms and mops hanging from hooks.

Medkid started to hear himself breathing, crawling back as far as he could go, trying to get space between him and subspace, he needed more time. More time to know how his feelings worked. More time to know what he likes when it comes to a lover, and love.

“Just relax.” Subspace cooed leaning down to stroke Medkit’s cheek, “I’ll make this pleasureable, I promise.”

Medkit didn’t answer. He couldn’t find any breath that could be used to make words. Not that it would have mattered if he could have. 

Supspace started with Medkit’s pants, un buckling his belt and pulling it out of the loops. He pulled down, Medkit’s legs getting angry at the cold air hitting them. Subspace pulled, his eyes fixated on Medkit’s groin before hitting Medkit’s boots.

“Oops forgot those.” He teased.

He pulled off Medkit’s boots, then his socks. Medkit leaned up to try and stop him from pulling his socks off, Subspace smacked his hand, anger filling his face.

“I told you to relax.” Subspace pushed Medkit’s torso to the ground, his head hitting the ground with a hard thud. Subspace sat on Medkit’s torso to keep him from getting up.

“I do this for you and you don’t listen.” Subspace grumbled grabbing Medkit’s hands and tied them together with his belt. He looked at medkit for a second before taking off his own belt, looping it through the belt on Medkit’s hands, and then hooking it around medkit’s horns.

“Now be a good boy and relax.” Subspace ordered.

Medhit tried to move his arms, tried to get them out of the restraints, a soft groan existing him as his body realised how fucked he was.

Subspace went back down to Medkit’s underwear. Slowly pulling down the small bit of fabric, a soft giggle leaving his lips. 

“Huh?” Medkit got out, his curiosity the only thing to break his fear.

“You're wet. Like a good little boy. Your body knows what it wa… what it needs.” Subspace told him.

Subspace’s hand slowly made it’s way up Medkit’s inner legs, slowly pushing them out to give him a better view. Medkit shivered, the cold hitting his genitals. Subspace snaked his way up to Medkit’s sex sighing when he got to the hump.

“Put this away good boy. I’m not going to pleasure your penis tonight.” Subspace said, pushing on his member.

Medkit didn’t move. Maybe if he didn’t move Subspace would get bored and wouldn’t want to do anything, he could leave, going back to the lab, or out on the town, or anywhere but here. Medkit wouldn’t be so lucky, he was never that lucky, he wasn’t lucky at all in truth, if he was he wouldn’t have been born.

“Did you hear me?” Subspace asked, crawling his way up Medkit’s body, “I said put your penis away.” 

Breathing was starting to become hard for Medkit, his lungs refusing to fill, his throat closing as he tried to exhale. Subspace brought his head up to Medkit’s.

“You will do as I say or there will be consequences." He said.

Medkit shook his head as much as he could.

“Very well.”

Subspace pulled his head back, stretching his neck, then plunged his horns into Medkit’s shoulder. Medkit screamed, his body able to breathe again but at a cost, sharp pain filled his shoulder’s, his arms trying to move but unable due to the restraints.

“Put. It. Away.” Subspace ordered.

Medkit complied, his penis retracting back into his body.

“Good boy.” 

Subspace stood up, “I was going to make this a much more pleasurable experience before you didn’t listen. It will still be unearthly but I’m going to satisfy myself before I satisfy you now.”
Subspace dropped his pants showing his perfect unflawed body, his cock hard, hanging, a promise and a threat. Knelt down over Medkit, pumping his cock a few times before lining it up with his pussy. Subspace thrust in hard. Medkit screamed, he didn’t mean to, he didn’t want to, the sudden intrusion was too much. Subspace was bigger than anything Medkit expected. He had never truly played with himself, he was too focused with his studies and science, so nothing had ever touched his walls. Subspace’s dick was definitely something to have as the first thing in his vagina. There was a small amount of pain pooling at his entrance where Subspace was fully sheathed, and a growing desire in his stomach where he filled.

Subspace moaned slowly started moving, his hips bucking forward, his cock getting so close to exiting before slamming back in, like a guest that won't leave your house after a party, following it’s path back into Medkit’s vagina. It took him no time at all to start speeding up. On one of his thrusts he hit a spot that made Medkit moan, he didn’t know how it happened, one second he was trying not to cry out in pain, the next a loud moan of pleasure was exiting his mouth.

“Oh does my good boy like that?” Subspace taunted.

He started hitting the spot with ruthless accuracy. Hitting it over and over. Hormones filling Medkit causing feelings of pleasure to overshadow the pain, overshadow the thoughts, overshadow the disgust, overshadow everything. Causing moans to build up in Medkit, falling out like tickets in an arcade wheel that just hit the jackpot.

His moans of pleasure filled the closet joining Subspaces. Their bodies connected and separated over and over, pleasure and pain building through Medkit’s body. 

“Oh God Oh You’re so Tight!” Subspace said, his pace ruthless at this point.

“Ughhh ohmmmmmuhhhh.” Was all Medkit could reply with.

“I’m gonna cum!” 

“Uhhhhh.”

“Oh god I wanna cun in you, in your tight walls, in your delicious god oh in uh can i oh cum in you?” Subspace asked.

No! You can’t do any of this. I need to get out of this closet. I need to go back to my research! Medkit thought. Yet not a work exited him.

“Nughhhh.” he replied.

Subspace sighed as he sped up his pace, his body pushing into Medkit, pushing his penis, his large penis about to cum penis. His cock that felt so good, that shouldn’t be in him. Subspace moaned as he came. Medkit felt his womb filled, warmth filled his stomach, he hated the feeling, he loved the feeling, he wanted to feel it again, he never wanted to feel it again. God why do feelings have to be so weird. Why can’t they be simple?

Medkit laid back hoping it was over, hoping he was done, but Subspace didn’t stop, he kept going, pushing in and out. Medkit started to feel something take over his body. He had been feeling good from the hormones sex releases into your body for a while but now it was getting to a climax. Subspace continued watching Medkit with intense eyes, waiting. Medkit tried to hold it, tried to stop his body from doing what it wanted to do. He tried to focus on the pain in his shoulder, the pain in his mind, the fact he was here against his will. The pressure became too great, the chemical pressure. He came, the pressure exploding in lust all over his body. 

“There you go. Good boy.” Subspace cooed.

Medkit’s breath was rapid the pressure cascaded over him. It felt like when he figures something out when he’s working. He hated that he loved it, but he still loved it. He wanted to feel the feeling of forever. 

Subspace slowed his tempo before eventually pulling out fully. His breathing was fast and deep, his hands finding their way back to Medkit’s body. Medkit whose breathing was like a broken motor, fast and shallow. His body was trying to curl up to get away from Subspace. He had thought about getting with the man but not like this, never like this. He wanted to go out to dinner, have a nice meal, then maybe if everything went well they could go back to his house and have a fun night.

“Subspace, please.” Medkit begged.

 His voice sounded wrong, it was like someone had shoved sandpaper down his pipe before blocking half of it off. It made him feel like an imposter, like the body he was in wasn’t his own. It made him feel better, like he was just observing this horrible act. Then Subspace started toying with his still sensitive clit.

“Please what?” Subspace teased, “Come now good boy use your words.”

“Please, stop, let me agh… go!” Medkit begged. It was hard to get his words out with Subspace flicking his clit.

“Is that what you truly want?” Subspace asked, taking his hands off of Medkit, leaning down on the man underneath him.

“Do you truly want me to stop? Every part of you wants me to take my hands off of you and leave you like this. Not a single part of you is relishing in this lust?” Subspace asked. 

His breath filled Medkit’s lungs, it smelled like his cum, it was intoxicating. He wanted to go back to the lab, he always wanted to be in the lab; but a part of him, a stupid, lonely, broken part of him wanted more. It wanted Subspace to fuck him again and again filling him with his seed.

He couldn’t respond. He wanted to say no, wanted to scream, to run, to go back to the lab, his safe space, but he didn't. He just sat there.

“Slut, you enjoy this don’t you good boy.” Subspace said.

Medkit closed his eyes, he couldn’t watch his lab partner defile him anymore. He just wanted to feel and pretend that everything was ok. He could deal with the ramifications after. He would have too. Trying to figure anything out right now was useless, his brain wasn’t working.

Subspace opened up Medkit’s shirt, his hands cold and wet against his chest. He shivered at the touch. 

“I’m going to do something, just to get me hard again. Then I’m going to pleasure you more.” Subspace told Medkit, his hand caressing Medkit’s face, “The lab shouldn’t be dry after that so you can still get some sleep my precious boy.”

Medkit leaned into the soft touch on his face. He wouldn’t mind if Subspace just touched his gently for the next little while. Medkit relished in the soft hand that traced its way down his body, making little twirls and whirls as it went down his chest. He whined a little when the hand was taken away. 

He took a deep breath ready to feel Subspace at his sex again. Sharp searing pain shot through his body, his eyes shooting open with his mouth, a guttural scream leaving his body as he Subspace shoved his horn into his chest.

“STOP STOP PLEASE NO MORE!” Medkit screamed writhing in pain.

He twisted and tugged at his arms trying to get them out of his restraints, his arms starting to burn from all the movement. 

“You’re just making this worse.” Subspace told him as he continued to scrape his horn through Medkit’s sternum.

“GET OFF GET OUT NO MORE PLEASE SUBSPACE PLEASE!” Medkit begged.

“Shhh just feel me good little boy, feel how hard I’m getting.” Subspace lifted his head, taking his horn out of Medkit and scooted forward just enough so the bound man could feel the other’s hardening member.

“Please. Subspace. Untie me.” Medkit cried tears and snot falling from his face.

“I’m not done pleasuring you. What better way to make the pleasure better than to make you feel pain?” Subspace asked, plunging his horns back into Medkit.

“LET ME GO! LET ME GO! PLEASE! I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT!” Medkit cried hoping, hoping he could get the pain to stop.

It didn’t. Subspace kept carving, not even pausing at Medkit’s words.

“Oh you look beautiful.” Subspace said when he was finished.

“What di.. Did you do… to me?” Medkit blubbered.

“I made you mine. Branded you. Now everyone will know who you belong to.” Subspace smiled, “Now does my good boy want to feel the pleasure he has been promised?”

“I want to go.” Medkit replied.

Subspace ignored him, his hands slowly moving up Medkit’s legs. Medkit wanted to beg, wanted to try and escape, but there was no escape, he would just have to wait it out. He would have to feel every moment of Subspace defiling him again.

Subspace’s hands started playing with Medkit’s bud, twisting it and turning it, stimulating him. Subspace lowered his head to Medkit’s pussy, he shivered as the man's breath touched his wet, sensitive clit. A loud moan left Medkit as Subspace licked his way up his slit. His legs started shaking, Subspace’s fingers and tongue expertly working Medkit, bringing all the chemicals back. The dopamine rushing it’s way though Medkit’s body, the pain disappearing, the heat in his stomach coming back.

“Do you still want me to stop?” Subspace asked Medkit’s pussy.

“Ugh yuumnnn.” Medkit whined.

“What was that?” Subspace flicked Medkit’s clit.

“No.” Medkit groaned out.

“Are you sure?” Subspase asked, blowing on the Clit in front of his lips. Medkit shivered at the sensation. 

“Yes.” he replied

“You want me to continue to fuck you. Even if I stick my dick in you? Even if I dump another load of Cum into this pretty little thing down here?”

“Yes… please.” 

“Little boy wants my cum?”

“Yes!”

“Good boy.”

Subspace wasted no time lifting his head up and shoving his dick right in. This time he found Medkit’s G spot almost immediately and started pounding it. He quickly added his fingers making them play with Medkit’s Clit.

The feelings were overwhelming, taking over Medkit’s body with no remorse. He wanted to crawl out of his skin from the feeling. He felt good, too good, every cell in his body felt delighted. It was wrong. So wrong. He needed out. His already raw arms twisted in the restraints, his legs kicked, his moans got louder, he wanted to leave his body with his voice. He needed out.

Subspace didn’t seem to notice the distress the man underneath him was in as he continued. His moans of pleasure joined Medkit’s moans of distress. 

“Do you feel it? Do you feel the pleasure? I’m good at this. I’m good at many things.” Subspace said.

“Ughhhahhh I nghh pleahhhh please Suuuumnnn subbbbbbaahhh let uh finish.” Medkit moaned.

“Does my good little boy want to finish?” Subspace teased.

“Uhhghhhh.”

“Very well then. You may cum with me.” Subspace said it as if it was a mercy.

Medkit and Subspace came together. Their juices mixing in a soup of milky white desire and despair. Medkit struggled back, his back raking against the wall to get Subspace out of him. Subspace sighed, a delighted smile painted on his face, a look Medkit couldn’t decipher in his eyes. 

“Thank you good boy, you did so good for me. Let me help you out of the mess your in.” Subspace said.

He came up and unbuckled the belts, releasing Medkit’s hands. The moment the belt loosened on his hands Medkit bolted up knocking Subspace down, he grabbed his pants and rocketed out of the room, slamming into the door hard as he did. He didn’t think about where he was going, he just ran, his body hurt, he was still bleeding, he just needed to get as far away from Subspace as he could. The white hallways melded together as he ran, they all looked the same, he didn’t know where he was, or where he was going, that was fine it was a problem for later.

A door slammed open echoing through the halls. Without thinking he slammed into the nearest door shoving his back against it once he was in the room. His eyes closed he shoved his ear to the door frame even though he couldn't hear a thing over his heart pounding in his ears like a bass drum on his head and his lungs heaving like a broken AC unit. 

Medkit’s chest ached, he wanted to cry, to scream out, he wanted someone to talk to. Fear was infused with every drop of blood in his body, adrenaline moving through his veins like water in pipes. He needed to think but nothing could stay long enough to be registered, every thought running in and out of his mind. 

Steps made their way through the hall, fast paced, focused steps. Medkit put his hand over his mouth to make sure he couldn’t give himself away.

“science rooms and look around for the scientists. Which one you absolute… no I can’t say that there's probably cameras.” A voice said walking past Medkit’s hiding spot.

Medkit waited till he couldn't hear the feet before taking a breath and finally opening his eyes. Shelves lined the walls, drying water covering every surface, and two desks with glowing crystals on them sat in the center of the room. The red crystal had a weird foam slowly growing out of it while the green crystal looked just as it always did.

“Thank god.” Medkit whispered to himself.

Standing up he put his pants on and walked over to his desk. He may be bleeding and need to deal with at least 2 other injuries but what he needed more was a distraction. Nothing can take his mind off of the world like science. 

“What haven’t I done with you?” He asked the green crystal on his desk.

He grabbed it out of the water with his bare hands and held it. It was cold and smooth, the texture like glass. While being glossy he couldn’t see himself in the gem, the exterior showing only a light green glow.

“What is it you do?” He questioned putting it down on his desk. 

Looking down at it he realised his shirt was still unbuttoned. He sighed, reaching down to button up his shirt but stopping. His chest didn’t hurt anymore, it wasn’t read anymore. Medkit put his head to his chest. No pain, no blood, he quickly unbuttoned what he had done and looked down. No stab wound, no writing, not even a scar.

“Oh my god!” He grabbed the slightly dimmer crystal, giving it a kiss, “Oh my god you’re amazing!” 

“I know I am.” Subspace said from the door.

Medkit scampered back falling over his feet. Subspace stood in the doorway, looking like a mountain at dawn.

“What are you doing here? How did you find me?” Medkit asked.

“It wasn’t hard, you're only ever in like two places.” Subspace pointed out stepping into the room.

“Just leave me alone.” Medkit demanded standing up.

“But I wanted to help you with the injuries you acquired." Subspace’s voice sounded like honey. Medkit knew it was fake, that his voice was more like marmite, but a broken part of him wanted to trust it.

“The injuries you gave me.” He corrected.

“Just, come here you unnatural.” Subspace said lunging at Medkit.

Medkit dodged backing up toward Subspace's desk.

“I’m fine. It’s fine, just leave me alone.” Medkit said, bumping into the desk.

“Oh come on don’t be like that!” Subspace said catching up to Medkit, “Let me take care of you.”

His hand reached out and touched where his horn had stabbed into Medkit’s shoulder, his finger pressing down on the spot. Medkit didn’t react, his face like stone as Subspace tried to torture him.

“The fuck…” Subspace whispered as he looked at Medkit’s chest, “How?”

He looked at Medkit with awe and disdain, “how did you…?” 

Medkit tried to move the crystal in his hand behind him, he was never a good thief. Subspace grabbed his hand and yanked the rock out of his hands. Subspace looked from the gem to Medkit, anger growing with every turn of his head.

“WHAT DID YOU DO!” He screamed at medkit.

“I just, grabbed it.” Medkit replied.

“NO YOU LIAR YOU LIE YOU FUCKING LIAR! You couldn’t have done this. No you’re too stupid. You, You are aren’t fucking natural. I was supposed to figure it out.” Subspace said.

“Well I did it.” Medkit said punching Subspace away, “Now give it back.”

“You mistake.”

“Subspace give it back.”

“I’m so much better than you.”

“Subspace.”

“You are a pawn.

“I figured out how it worked.” Medkit said, reaching out for it.

“A Sidecharecter.” Subspace pulled the crystal out of Medkit's reach.

“Just shut up and stop being a child.” Medkit reached out again.

“YOU ABSOLUTE WASTE OF SPACE! YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN ME DON’T YOU!” Subspace shouted shoving Medkit against the desk bringing the sharp crystal down on him.

Medkit couldn’t even scream at first. The pain was nothing he had ever felt before. The gem slammed into his eye. He felt the squishy organ squish in it’s socket, pushing up the sides of it’s walls, before bursting. 

Medkit pushed Subspace off of him with surprising strength, at least surprising to Subspace. He grabbed the man’s arm pulling him close so he could change their positions. He shoved Subspace into the mess he made with his disgrace of science that he left on his desk. It got all on his left side of his face and left arm.

“Why won’t you just do what I want?” Subspace asked, pushing himself off the table, whipping the gunk off of his face.

“Just leave me alone?” Medkit begged, pulling the crystal out of his left eye.

“You don’t get to go tell them you did it. I do. I am their secret weapon. I did this I… iahgh.” Subspace fell to the floor griping his face.

“Whahhhhhhhh no agh na.” Subspace started screaming like he was set on fire.

Medkid watched as the skin on Subspace’s arm started to change, shift into a disgusting form. Bright pink veins bulged from his melting skin. Medkit didn’t want to stick around, not around the scene, Subspace, or the establishment. He ran, ran from it all, from everything.
