Since I had accidentally posted chapter 6 as chapter 5 on AO3 I figured I would correct that and update this to catch it up. So here's chapter 6 a week early!
Ivan kissed the bitten lip and pulled away, giving Alfred a little tap to get him to sit up "Let's get dressed" he smiled warmly and grabbed his clothes, tossing Alfred his as well and they headed to the large empty room where Ivan had given Alfred the basic exam, the file in hand to review.
Alfred got on the table, waiting for instructions "…Too bad there are cameras in here…" he giggled, laying back on the table.
The doctor chuckled and shook his head as he flipped through the file for the exact procedures that needed to be done, starting with the usual full body check, auscultations, palpation, and percussion.
Alfred relaxed and yawned, feeling safe under the touch. He started to nap under the gentle touches.
"Don't fall asleep yet, we are not done" Ivan smirked slightly and gave Alfred's hip a firm squeeze "things check out so far" Ivan said and consulted the chart, finding that while Yao had gotten the same healthy signs, it was written less than professionally. He ticked off the item and continued down the list with each procedure and marking off the differences on Yao's report as Ivan wrote his own. It took a little while, longer than it would have if Ivan had done it from the beginning, but eventually Ivan finished and they were ready to return to his office; the correct record and Yao's report in hand to get investigated in the morning.
Alfred followed close, yawning. When they got back to the office he walked over to the couch, grabbing Ivan's lab coat on the way. He snuggled into the long, pristine white jacket and laid down on the couch. He knew Ivan had work to do, his coat would have to do.
While Ivan had finished most of the rest of his work, he now had to prepare to report Yao for his actions and treatment of the patients so he busied himself with that while Alfred rested.
Alfred's lower back hung out of the coat, showing bruises that were from Yao…matching the man's hands perfectly. More potential proof against Yao.
Ivan set the photos attached of Alfred's bruising in the file with the report along with the measurements so that they could identify it. Any little marks, that Ivan had not cause, he recorded and knew that it would be plenty to get him under investigation.
Alfred shivered in his sleep, moaning. He rolled and twisted slightly in his sleep from the fresh memory of Ivan's warm touch on his skin. He whispered the man's name, smiling.
He smiled as he heard Alfred; setting everything down on his desk and joining his lover on the couch, holding him gently as he cuddled closer.
Alfred smiled, reaching back. His hand petting his jaw gently "Took you long enjoy…" he said, sleepily.
Ivan tilted his head a bit before laughing softly "I love you" he said simply in response.
Alfred smiled, flipping over. He snuggled into his chest. "Sleep with me…" he whispered, rubbing Ivan's jaw.
"Alright Love, I will try…" Ivan settled his arms around Alfred and against the small pillows of the couch and shut his eyes in an attempt to sleep, slowly being lulled but the steady beat of Alfred's heart.
Alfred waited until he felt Ivan sleep to snuggle closer and fall asleep .Ivan's smell and warmth always put him to sleep; his hand resting on his jaw.
Ivan managed to sleep for a couple of hours, the sex helping to exhaust him enough to enter a deep sleep without much of a problem but after those peaceful two hours, Ivan tensed and whimpered softly when Alfred shifted on top of him.
Alfred shifted and moved closer, snuggling Ivan. A minute later the door opened, they had forgot to lock it.
"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Yao screamed.
Alfred jumped and sat up, blushing bright red at his exposed body. He cringed, pulling the coat over himself. "GET OUT!" he screamed, shaking from being so ashamed.
Yao growled, walking over "WHORE! SLUT! YOU ARE WORTHLESS!" He grabbed Alfred by his hair and pulled him off the couch. "I am so sorry Mr. Braginsky. This whore could make the pope sin!" he kicked Alfred hard in the stomach, forcing him onto his stomach in a crumpled heap on the hard floor. He stepped on his butt, making a trail of the cum run down his leg. "…Such a dirty creature you are…" he smirked "…lucky you have a pretty face."
With the sudden movement, Ivan woke quickly, looking frantically around before spotting Yao. Recognition set in after a few fearful moments before he realised what was going on and he came back to himself. The ashen blond stood and punched Yao, sending him sprawling to the floor "Stay away from him" he growled, eyes narrowed "you have done enough, I will not allow you to touch him again…" he warned, voice thickly accented with sleep and rage.
Alfred pulled the coat over himself trying to keep some of his pride even as his eyes stayed clued to Ivan's form.
Yao held his face, getting up. "…What the hell Ivan, this is illegal."
"…Honestly it is not…it's 6 AM…and Alfred is now a free man…they can do what they want…" Alfred's lawyer stood in the doorway.
Alfred sighed, rubbed his sore belly. He reached over and grabbed his pants and shirt, pulling them on as quickly as he could as a dark black bruised covered his lower belly.
"Perfect timing, we need to report him for his abuse against Alfred and likely several other patients but only Alfred has recent proof that I found, could you look over the report and verify that everything is in order." He handed the file with the photos to the lawyer and watched as he flipped through the pages before handing them back with a nod. Ivan met Yao's gaze "As soon as these are reviewed, you will be fired, you should start packing now." He turned without hesitation, not bothering to acknowledge the man as worth his time while he gathered his clothes and dressed.
Yao's eyes widened "This…this is bullshit." He stood, growling "…you are here fucking a 50 cent whore…and I get fired?" Yao started towards Ivan, aiming to grab him and make his point known…but was stopped by that very whore with a letter opener to his neck.
"You…touch Ivan and I won't stop myself from killing you" he snarled, other hand locked onto the thin wrist to keep him planted.
Yao's eyes widened before narrowing sharply, not expecting this strong of an objection from Alfred "…Fucking whore."
"Alik…" Ivan grabbed Alfred's wrist gently "I might be able to get away with self-defense but you have a record. If he makes a move then I will take care of it" he said guiding his hand away and taking the blunt blade away as he laced their fingers together automatically.
Alfred pulled the coat tightly around himself, eyes down. He hated cops. They never protected him…or helped. Alfred walked by the guards that had been called in, getting himself away from the tense atmosphere.
Yao looked at Ivan after Alfred left to stand in the hall. "He is nothing but a sex crazy whore. He will suck you dry and you will be stuck with it. It thinks it knows what love is. It is just in it for the sex."
Ivan shook his head "You don't know him outside of the exams, outside of the sex you forced on him, you know nothing of him at all." He dismissed himself and joined Alfred in the hallway. "I love you" he said softly and joined their lips for a brief kiss "everything should be taken care of so let's bring this file to the head and I can take you home" he smiled.
Alfred took his hand, smiling "That sounds great…" He leaned up and met his lips. "I love you too. Let's go home…" He held his hand tightly and walked with Ivan, looking at all the people locked in the cells. He was so happy to be leaving.
The doctor dropped off the report to be approved and acted on by the head of the building and soon they were on their way home.
A modestly large home came into view an hour later. "Welcome home" Ivan said with a smile as they pulled into the driveway.
Alfred's eyes widened "…Wow…" he slowly got out "…this…is very…large."
"I have saved up quite a bit over these years" Ivan chuckled "let me show you around" he said as he took Alfred's hand and led him in, a bit of excitement in his tone as he recalled his promise.
Alfred blushed, looking around the house. "Wow Vanya…" he tighten his hand in his. "…This is so homey… Makes me feel so calm…"
"I'm happy you enjoy it and I hope you will be happy living here" Ivan gave his hand an affectionate squeeze and they headed upstairs, the other rooms could be shown later; Ivan's main focus was the large master bedroom. He opened the door and ushered Alfred in "Is it to your liking?" he asked with a smile as Alfred looked around.
Alfred's jaw dropped "Vanya… This is so beautiful…" He blushed a bit at the large bed. He led Ivan closer to the bed, touching it. "…This is a very nice bed… The room smells so good…" He looked up at his lover, eyes locking.
Ivan sat on the bed and tugged Alfred down on him "It smells like me" he chuckled "and it's all yours" he joined their lips gently "just like I am."
Alfred straddled the man, facing him "…It does…and as I am yours…" He rubbed his face slowly before joining their lips again in a deeper kiss.
The Russian hummed into the kiss before breaking it "I will never tire of hearing that" he kissed Alfred's chest, feeling his heart beat against his lips "I love you, my Alik."
Alfred blushed, pulling Ivan closer so he could hear his heart. "Hmm hear that…it beats only for you… I love you so much my wonderful Vanya…" he smiled, petting his hair slowly.
Ivan pulled him down, lying on the bed with him and pressing the bright blond head to his chest "Every beat is for you…since the night you calmed me from that nightmare…" he kissed the top of his head.
Alfred blushed, snuggling him close "…I love you…" he looked up. "…What are your nightmares about?"
"My childhood…" Ivan said softly "it was a dark time and I would rather not spoil the moment…" he said softly, trying to brush it off with a smile.
Alfred knew it must have been awful. He nodded, Ivan would tell him when he was ready. "Alright my darling…" he whispered, moving up so he was equal with Ivan. He pulled him closer, rubbing his head.
"Thank you" Ivan smiled, knowing that Alfred was giving him needed space from the topic.
Alfred snuggled him "So what now? Do I get what you promised me?"
"That and more" Ivan brushed their noses together "do you want it exactly or do you want to save that for another time and start here instead?"
"…Hmm…I have always wanted to be done in the kitchen… Can we do that?" he blushed at the odd question.
"I'm surprised you haven't" Ivan sat up, gathering Alfred in his arms "table or counter?" he asked, standing and carrying him down the stairs.
"…Counter…" his smile faltered the slightest bit with the choices but he snuggled into Ivan's neck anyway. "Most of my sex has been on the floor or the bed… Arthur got it when he wanted it…due to the drugs…" he looked down, still hiding in his neck.
"Drugs?" Ivan asked, setting his love on the cool, dark countertop "he drugged you into sex…" his eyes widened a bit with the memory, surprise that he had forgotten such a thing in the first place.
Alfred nodded "That's why I was so needy…" he looked at Ivan "drugged many times a day…"
"I'm sorry I dismissed it so quickly in the beginning" Ivan said softly, the blond's early actions gaining a new meaning.
Alfred's blushed, shaking his head "Don't worry about it… I would have acted the way you did to a horny stranger…" He rubbed his chest "Sorry to ruin the mood…"
"You didn't and if you ever did, I am not hard to rile back up" Ivan purred, joining their lips.
Alfred blushed, pulling him close. His hands going to his hair and running through the thin locks gently.
Ivan deepened the kiss, his blunt nails scratching lightly at the base of Alfred's head.
Alfred gasped, spreading his legs wide as he rolled his hips against the man's; his moans filling Ivan's mouth. The Russian's phone started going off. Alfred broke the kiss and moved to Ivan's neck, giving him dark hickies on his neck. His breath hard. "You can answer…just don't leave me…" he panted, rolling his hips more against his lover's harden budge.
He smirked and secured the frisky blond against him before standing to get his cell phone "Don't leave too many marks" he chuckled "I still have to work tomorrow." He groaned softly as Alfred rolled his hip against him "Behave" he smiled as he answered the phone "hello?"
Alfred bit his neck roughly as his hips moved faster.
"…Ivan. This is Alfred's lawyer. Anyway you can come in tonight, alone? There is something we have found that needs to be shown to you."
Ivan's smile fell slightly "Yes, I will be coming in, can you tell me anything more?" he asked, wanting to know the nature of the information and why he had to go in alone. He had planned on it anyway, it was still his shift after all and Alfred needed to be well rested for his mandatory service at an animal shelter.
"…There was a video we found that we can use against Arthur…I think getting Arthur in jail will help Alfred heal more." He sighed over the phone "We only watched a bit but I rather watch it with you and not with Alfred… Can you come in now?"
"…I will be there as soon as possible, thank you" Ivan hung up and kissed Alfred gently "they need me to come in so I will take this shift and be back later tonight."
Alfred looked up at Ivan, gently getting off him. "…Ah…I guess I'll head to bed then…" he had a sad smile. "I guess I need to get use to this…" he chuckled.
"I'm sorry, I would not do this if it was not important, it might even help you" Ivan rubbed his thumb over Alfred's cheek to try to comfort the downfall "with this I can switch back to the day shift and we can have the nights together."
Alfred smiled, nodding "Alright…I'll be waiting for you…" He buttoned up Ivan's shirt where he had unbuttoned. "I love you…" he kissed his lips. "Have a good day ok?" he rubbed his strong jaw, kissing him again before he started making his way up to the bedroom to shower.
"I love you too" Ivan returned the kiss and watched Alfred ascend before grabbing his coat and getting in the car for the drive back, anxious at what might be on the tape and what it might reveal.
Alfred's lawyer welcomed Ivan when he came in, Yao was there and so was Alfred's former doctor, Mathew. "Ivan, this is Dr. Matthew Williams… He is helping me get information on Alfred and we both found out that a piece of Alfred's file was missing from Yao." He sighed and pulled down the screen. "We only watched the first few minutes…we wanted to wait for you because you are his lover and doctor…" He pressed play.
Arthur's face came on the screen, sitting around a group of men laughing and talking. It was a bachelor party. Alfred nowhere to be seen. It was just an innocent video of a night of hanging out. Until one of the men started talking about Alfred.
"Your whore not here?" Francis asked.
Arthur rolled his eyes. "He has a cold or something, he is upstairs in bed."
Another man, the groom, smirked "Hey Arthur maybe you could go get him…we have no hooker…can't we use your girl…?"
Arthur chuckled "If only… He's a fighter nowadays…he won't lay still."
The man smirked and held out a small bag of pills "…Do what you normally do…"
The video cut to black with a flicker and then it showed Arthur in the kitchen making soup. He opened the pills and poured them in, a chuckle of approval from the person controlling the camera. He mixed it and put it on a tray with water. He had Francis come with him and hide the camera. Alfred had his back turned, sleeping under the covers. What skin could be seen was beaten and scratched, covered with faded and fresh wounds. Arthur told Francis to hide until it was time.
"Alfie baby…" Arthur put the food on the small end table, shaking Alfred awake.
Alfred grunted and rolled over "Arthur?" he whispered, being sat up by Arthur.
"Hey beautiful…" he kissed Alfred's head, putting the food in front of him on the bed.
Alfred smiled "Th-thank you…" He took the soup, slowly eating. "…Ah…I'm…sorry about this morning… I feel bad because you are being so sweet to me…" Alfred chuckled softly, eating half the bowl until it hit him. Alfred touched his own head; dizziness and an all too familiar heat started setting in. His face lost color. "YOU BASTARD!" He pushed the tray off trying to get away.
The groom ran in and picked up the screaming blonde who was fighting to get away. "Hmm you are going to feel so good little one…" He licked his lips.
Alfred screamed more as his body started feeling light, the man picking him up. "Come…" He took Alfred downstairs.
Alfred was crying now. "ARTHUR PLEASE HELP ME!" He weakly reached out, being thrown on the dining room table; chairs pulled away to make room for the assailants. Alfred was already being fucked by the time Arthur came with the camera, it cut in and out a few times showing different men with the blond until Alfred was just laying on the table coughing…bleeding. He lay silent. The men just talking and laughing, taking pictures with Alfred who had given up fighting, given up screaming, given up being saved. Everyone finally left hours later, Arthur fucked his broken husband then went upstairs. Alfred stayed on the table even as the video ended.
James, Alfred's lawyer, stared in horror. Yao looked pleased and Mattie had looked away not long after the video started.
Ivan had been expecting the worst but it had far exceeded his expectations, he was horrified as the video unfolded and the manipulation got worse. He held back the waves of nausea as he watched man after man brutally violate his love and he was shocked that Alfred could enjoy sex at all after being put through such terrible things for so long. As the video closed he looked at the others, finding the lawyer with a grim though professional visage of restrained horror, Matthew pale and turned away in disgust and…Yao with a self-satisfied smirk. Ivan's horror twisted into rage and he grabbed the shorter man by the collar of his coat and lifted him to just below eye level, his feet scrambling for purchase. "Why are you here?" he growled low "you are no better than them, you have done nothing but hurt him." He threw the Chinese man to the ground, barely satisfied with the pained groan he received in return "Why is he still working here? Has the report been processed yet?" he coldly asked the lawyer, keeping his peripheral trained on Yao; not trusting him for a moment.
"…Calm down Ivan!" James grabbed Ivan's shoulder. "Calm down… The police are on their way with the arrest warrant… Mattie got the movie away from Yao while we were going through his office…" He sighed, letting Ivan go "You can either stay on this shift Ivan or take a day off…I'll talk to your boss…"
He breathed deeply, trying to get the aggressive tension knotting his upper back to ease "I will be switching back to the day shift but I am taking the day off to get Alfred settled." His eyes landed on Yao again and flashed dangerously "If I stay here much longer he will be leaving with a coroner…"
James nodded and led Ivan out to his car, waving. "You will have a full report on your desk Monday of Yao's arrest and hopefully a case against Arthur" he backed up and left.
Alfred had just finished his shower and climbed into bed nude, it was so nice to sleep without clothes again. He yawned, snuggling Ivan's pillow close. "Hmm smells just like my Vanya…" he whispered.
"Thank you" Ivan nodded at the information and relaxed; eager to get home and update Alfred with the new developments. He got into his car and returned home.
Ivan went up to the bedroom and smiled when he saw Alfred sleeping peacefully and finally Ivan could relax a bit. He shed his clothes and slipped in bed next to him; the news could wait.
Alfred let out a small moan from being disturbed. "…Morning already?" he said slowly, he flipped over and snuggled against his love. "Hmm…I missed you…" he snuggled against his neck and rubbed his shoulders slowly. "A bit teasing baby…" he whispered, slowly blinking his eyes open to kiss Ivan's lips. "Hmm hi…" he rubbed down to his chest, smiling up at him.
"I came home early. I will go back tomorrow morning for the day shift so I am yours for the rest of the day and night" he kissed Alfred again gently with a chuckle at the sleepy chatter "what's a tease?"
"…You are naked in bed with me…" he giggled, snuggling and tangling their legs "happiest I've been naked in my life…" he rubbed his chest. "I'm happy…what did you have to go in for?" he looked up at Ivan.
"You have seen me naked several times, it's nice to know it is still teasing for you" Ivan chuckled. "I have good news" Ivan nuzzled Alfred gently "Yao has been arrested and is being investigated for further crimes and…" Ivan hesitated the slightest bit with the second bit of the news, unsure of how Alfred would take it "there may be a case against your ex as well, some…evidence came up and it is being looked into as well."
Alfred's smile dropped after the good news. He sat up "…What kind of evidence?" his heart pounded in his chest, hoping Ivan did not see any of the videos. He locked eyes with Ivan. "…What did you see? Or…what happened?"
"Something you never should have experienced…no one should ever go through anything like that…" he trailed off and pulled Alfred close.
Alfred's heart was in his stomach, he felt like he was going to throw up and the worst part was not knowing which terrible piece of his history that Ivan had seen. His body shaking "Y-you…sa-saw it…? You…N-no…you saw…saw that…?"
"I did…that is what they called me in for…Yao had the video and they wanted me to view it without putting you through that again" Ivan gently rubbed the trembling back.
Alfred hide his face in his hands, shaking, his fears realized; his last hope was that…of all of the tapes…Ivan had not seen the bachelor party rape. He felt so…ashamed and unworthy of Ivan. Ivan had seen…what Arthur and his friends did. "…You must think…I am so dumb…" he whispered "taking that for 7 years…sick or not sick…tired or well rested."
"Far from it. You stuck through so much because you were in love, I can't imagine your dedication and love in a relationship where you are actually happy." Ivan smiled softly "You are so strong, far stronger than I am" he held his lover close, kissing his forehead gently.
This was all so new to him. Alfred moved and wrapped his arms around his neck, pressing himself to Ivan. "You will see…I'm very happy with you…" he whispered. "…Promise me… after court…you will personally burn that tape…I…was so dumb to think he cared…to be kind at all was just a trick."
"I will, as soon as it is released. You will not have to worry about it, or him, again. Thank you for trusting me enough to make you dinner" Ivan smiled softly, lovingly "it means a lot knowing even a fraction of what you have been through."
Alfred nodded, snuggling close to the warm chest. "…I trust you more than anything…I don't think or believe you would ever hurt me…or force me into sex…" he whispered.
"I would never try to hurt you and I hope I never do, even by accident" Ivan whispered in return, rubbing his back soothingly.
Alfred looked up at him now, gently kissing him. Slowly and deep. His breaths slow as he calmed himself with Ivan's smell and kiss.
Ivan moved into the kiss, hands still lazily rubbing as they relaxed together with the knowledge of what happened and what was to come.
Alfred broke the kiss, hiding in Ivan's neck. His body shaking a bit. It was good to have someone that knew…and felt sorry for him. No one had even felt sorry for him… Only asked why he did it…or saying he could have left. He pressed himself completely to Ivan, Ivan was his protection and love. "Thank you…" he whispered.
"I love you" Ivan answered softly with a warm smile and an affectionate squeeze "things should get better now. We are together and they are both going to get investigated for their crimes against you."
"…I'm scared Vanya…I'll have to show in court and talk about it…" he whispered, eyes down "by people that already judge me…"
"I will be there for you and I will do what I can, whatever I can, to help you and the trials." Ivan lifted Alfred's head "As long as they are found guilty, everything will be alright and with the evidence against them, there is no doubt."
"I want you to be there…when…we have to talk about it…" he whispered, eyes watering a bit.
"I would not miss the chance to support you." He saw the brilliant blue eyes start to shine and he hugged Alfred tightly "Things will be alright love."
Alfred hugged him close, crying "S-seven years…of rape…and beating… It feels so good…to be loved…and taken care of…I just want to make you happy and feel better…" he sniffed.
"You are a wonderful person and you never should have been put through such terrible things" Ivan started rubbing his back again soothingly "I do love you and I always will" he kissed the tanned forehead gently "and I am happy."
Alfred sniffed, rubbing his face "…I'll help you with those nightmares until they stop…I swear on my life…"
"You have enough to worry about right now, we will tackle that another time" Ivan smiled.
"…No…" he smiled, cleaning off his eyes "…we will tackle them both at the same time…"
"It can wait, you are far more important and we do not need more stress" Ivan nuzzled his lover "one step at a time."
"…But your nightmares stress you out…" he protested, blushing a bit "…I just want you happy…"
"I am happier than I ever thought simply being with you without worrying about cameras or staff" Ivan's smile warmed at the blush "I have had these nightmares for many years…they are as much a part of me as everything else."
Alfred rubbed his face "…We need a vacation…" he smiled, kissing his neck softly before snuggling close. "Can we sleep now? Talk more later?"
Ivan nodded "Sleep sounds wonderful" he settled against the pillows, arms wrapped around the bruised body gently "we should go on vacation once everything has been taken care of."
"…Hmm what's stopping us now? Maybe a small beach trip?" he said sleepy, excited to wake up tomorrow in the nice quiet house. He would be going to the dog place tomorrow to start work…make money for him and Ivan.
"We need to be ready to review evidence if any more comes up but we will have one very soon, we could both use the quiet" Ivan kissed him gently.
Alfred nodded, giggling a bit "…Alright…we will get to it when we get to it" he smiled, kissing his cheek. "Good night my knight…" he whispered "I love you…so much…" he snuggled closer, getting comfortable.
"I love you too" Ivan smiled and kissed him again "goodnight, I'll make us breakfast in the morning." He nuzzled him with a chuckle "that feels good to say."
Alfred smiled, nodding. He slept so well next to Ivan. He rubbed his head and went to sleep. Alfred woke up before Ivan, wanting to spoil him. He gently pulled away and pulled on his boxers, heading to the kitchen. He grabbed the eggs and bacon, making bacon-egg waffles. He lifted the knife to cut up the piece of bacon when his eyes locked on the neighbor across the street staring at him. Alfred's confused look turned to a dark evil smirk. Arthur. Alfred flipped the knife around and held it up, licking his lips. He wouldn't do anything…but Arthur didn't know that.
Arthur's eyes widened as he backed up slowly.
Alfred took the knife and gently pulled it along his own neck, not cutting but freaking out Arthur.
Ivan shifted when Alfred moved away, dreams pleasantly blank and restful for once. He started to wake, however, with the sounds and smell of Alfred cooking. Ivan groaned softly as he shifted, sitting up before regretfully leaving the soft, warm sheets in search of Alfred.
When he walked into the kitchen he was surprised to see the blinds open, he usually kept them shut, and Alfred busy with chopping bacon. Ivan smiled and wrapped his arms around him "Good morning" he said, kissing his neck "you beat me to it."
