A Strange Declaration (SCP-035 x SCP-049) [Finished]

Chapter IX: "After a long time"

A few months have passed since SCP-008 escaped and the foundation facilities were completely abandoned except for a few other anomalies that became trapped in their containment cells or wandering the cluttered hallways.
Through the already worn speakers a voice could be distinguished, it seemed to be of some authority.

-???: If there are still survivors, try to stay in a safe place until the security personnel secure the entire sector and we manage to contain all the SCPs. That's all for now, in a few moments we will repeat the same message for those who have not heard it.

Meanwhile, 035 was lucky to find several bodies and equipped himself with various weapons to defend his beloved doctor from the plague. He could have escaped but preferred to stay by his side and help him with his experiments, in addition to the fact that he could not bear being away from him. The humanoid blushed completely when he saw that the possessive mask had been looking at him - again - in a loving way and being at his side in a protective way.

-049: Agh... I hope you're not too focused on "your business". Remember that the guards will come soon and they will surely want to attack us.

-035: Easy, my cute doctor, I will keep you safe if you are afraid.

-049: I'm serious. You can flirt with me at another time but now we must think about what we will do so that they do not think of us as a threat.

-035: Well, you're right about that. Although what you mean is kneeling with your hands up and obeying all their orders blindly, maybe we could try something more like ... who knows... guide them or something similar? I don't have too many ideas since I don't usually get along very well with humans.

The doctor was left thinking for a moment that it became eternal for his lover, who hugged him from behind, wrapping his arms delicately around his waist. This gesture made 049 smile and then he gave 035 a small kiss on the cheek leaving him flushed and groggy for a moment.

-049: Come on, we should try to find them.

-035: Y-yes! I'm going.

// A while later //

The doctor and the mask began to explore the long corridors and rooms, everything was so similar that they felt inside a labyrinth not leaving much of the high containment zone. Soon the footsteps and voices of a squad of guards entered through a broken door and when they saw the two SCPs they did not hesitate to take aim. 035 was alarmed and in an attempt to defend his beloved pulled out one of the shotguns he carried, ready to fire. However, 049 interrupted him by pulling him away from the body he possessed and looked at him while holding it in his hands.

-049: We had already talked about this! I told you we weren't going to attack anyone.

The opposite face showed his grimace of tragedy in a way to show how embarrassed he was to be scolded and the doctor proceeded to put it inside his briefcase so that it would not cause any more problems.

-049: Maybe you can use a body when you have calmed down, understand?

The security personnel who were present had no idea how to react to this situation, they did not know whether to panic because of the danger of both anomalies, try to defend themselves, escape or do something to contain them. The plague doctor offered to help them but the guards did not know whether to trust him or not.
All the records said that 049 is usually cooperative and that the only situation where he has violent outbursts is in the presence of someone who has the pestilence, but if he was completely calm, would that mean there is no "patient" around? what to "cure"? Upon realizing that, the guards calmed down and proceeded to attach the handcuffs and harness normally used by the humanoid's keepers to transport him.
Suddenly, something rose up behind them and slowly approached. It was 035 that for some reason he had managed to get out of the doctor's bag and return to the body that he was previously using and took the weapon he was carrying.

-035: Let him go or everything will go to hell...

-Guard 1: What the f*ck--

He was interrupted by a shot from the weapon that the possessive mask had in his hands.

-035: I hope that serves as a warning, now release 049, restrain us as before and we will pretend that none of this happened, was it clear?

The guards released the plague doctor and he backed away in horror at what he had just seen. He clearly knew everything his crush had done in the past and it didn't affect him too much to have to see blood or injuries due to what he normally does, but he never thought he would witness something like that.
He grabbed his briefcase, ran away, and in no time he would no longer be visible in the confusing corridors. 035 rushed to follow him trying to call him but there was no answer.

After a long time running he sat on a corner near an elevator and began to regret it. He couldn't get the expression of panic from 049 out of his mind, it made him feel completely miserable and he was afraid he wouldn't want to see him again.

To be continue...
