Chosen Theme - Public
Fandom - Wolf 359 (Podcast)
Pairing - Alexander Hilbert/Douglas Eiffel

Eiffel was honestly a little scared as he entered the room that Hilbert was chained into. He jumped as the starving man moved to look at him. "H-Hey Doc."

"Don't 'Hey Doc' me. I know why you're here. I'm not telling you anything."

"Okay… and who says that's what I want?" Eiffel asked, covering for himself.

"Is it not?"

"Of course not. Mincowski is the one obsessed with getting information out of you."

"So then, what do you want from me Officer Eiffel? Need my help with another project? Hera seems fine."

"She is, it's just… I just wanted to check on you. I honestly think Mincowski is overreacting."

Hilbert weakly raised one eyebrow in disbelief. "You do? I don't."

"You're fine with this?"

"No. Would rather be dead. But I understand her motives."

Eiffel flinched when he said that. "Don't say that Hilbert."

"Why not? Is true. Would happily die right now."

Doug looked down in guilt. "You're starving aren't you?"

"Yes. Amongst the fact that I don't leave here for bathroom breaks though, they cancel out."

"Mincowski hasn't let you go to the bathroom? You're a man who, sure, did some bad shit, but you're not a fucking animal."

"What do you want Doug?"

"From you, nothing particularly now. Now I just want to go off at Mincowski for a good damn long time."

"Not worth it. Won't change anything."

"Doesn't mean I won't try." Doug went to the room that Mincowski was doing her work in, not even bothering to ask. "What the hell Mincowski?!"

"Watch your mouth with your commanding officer Eiffel. What are you talking about anyway?"

"You're treating him like a damn dog!"

"He treated us like we were just disposable."

"So kill him."

"No. I need him for information. He's the only one who can tell us what's really going on here."

"Then at least give him a little dignity!"

"Why does he deserve it Doug? And you were the first to say not to shoot him."

"I'd rather he be dead than treated like this. This is inhumane, and whether we like it or not, he is a human."

"So what should we do, let him go back to his lab and wait until he tries to kill us again?"

"No, just… let him out and keep a close eye on him."

"Yeah, that's not going to happen. Unless you want to stay chained to him at all times."

"Sure."

"What? Really?"

"Why not? I can take care of it if anything happens, and I don't see him trying it again."

"Fine."

"Wait, you mean it? No lecture, or 'absolutely not you idiot you'll never learn even when he literally tries to kill you?'?"

"No. But it's on your head if he goes rogue."

"Understood. So by chained to him you mean-?"

"Not literally, but always in the same room except the bathroom."

"Can do. Just, come with me so he knows it's for real. I don't want him thinking I'm sneaking something under your nose. But if we're doing this, then there's no going back. I'm not gonna use this as a means of forcing his hand. I won't just lie to him."

"Okay. But he's your responsibility."

"Why are you letting me do this?"

"Why? Because I really don't know what to do. Command assumes he's dead, because Cutter told us to kill him. Honestly, if you think you can keep him under control, then go right ahead."

"Well good." Eiffel huffed, trying to keep his anger despite being pleased that he was being trusted for once."

It had been a couple months since they had brought Hilbert out of the "brig". (A/N - Not a fan of Lovelace just as a person so Imma not put her in here. Plus she might have killed him on sight.) He was behaving exceptionally well. He let Eiffel get his work done, then Eiffel stayed by his side in his lab while he worked. They slept in separate "beds" but in the same quarters. Honesty, Eiffel was happy with the arrangement. The only thing that kind of sucked was the fact that both men usually dealt with any problems of sorts in their quarters at night. This obviously created an issue when it came to sleeping in the same room. They basically agreed to pretend they didn't notice the other doing that, but being that they were both into men, eventually that agreement got dropped and they both silently used the knowledge of what the other man was doing to finish themselves, but they never talked about it.

After a small incident with Hilbert trying to work past sleeping hours, however, Mincowski made an agreement with Eiffel to install a camera in their quarters to make sure they both went to bed at reasonable time. Honestly though, Eiffel had completely forgot about it by the time this specific night had come about.

Mincowski watched the camera until they were both asleep, then went to sleep herself. It helped her get more restful sleep anyway. She got used to looking away in disgust at the two men, but that night things went differently. They didn't just stay on their separate sides of the room. They… Oh dear god why. She just wanted to get to sleep. Why did they have to do this tonight, when she wasn't even tired enough to claim she forgot to watch the camera. She couldn't help but steal glances to and from the screen in morbid curiosity. She breathed a deep sigh of relief when they had both finished.

Eiffel breath was heavy as he finally went over to his own bed. All of a sudden his eyes went wide. "What is it Doug?"

"Mincowski…Installed…Cameras…"

Hope you guys didn't mind the little spin on this idea. I know public usually means they know but I thought this would be a fun twist.
