“I love you. I love you. I love you.”

Hero tried to pull away from Villain’s caress, the metal cuffs binding them to the chair stopping them from getting far. This was wrong. “No, you don’t! Listen, you’re not in your right mind. Superhero—they thought drugging you with a love potion would make you switch sides,” Hero had tried to stop it before it happened, but now the best they could do was try to fix it. “If you just let me go, we can wait this out!”

Villain stared, pupils dilated and eyes hazy with artificial infatuation. After a long moment, they smiled. “Oh, you’re adorable, baby. Of course I know that!” They pulled themselves closer, practically sitting in Hero’s lap. “I don’t care how it happened anymore. I feel good, lovely and happy and perfect. I don’t care if it’s fake. I wanna feel like this forever, I want you to feel this way too.”

One arm wrapped around Hero’s neck, Villain reached into a pocket of their uniform and produced a thin glass vial. Hero recognized the pink, syrup-like fluid within instantly. “Superhero and I made a deal. I stay out of trouble, and they make sure there’s enough of this for the both of us.” 

Hero felt dread pooling in their stomach as Villain opened the vial, their smile turning almost manic with glee. “Aren’t you excited? We’re going to be happy forever.”
