A/N: Because angst must be had with this pairing.

Ratatosk hated what Emil had done, sealing him away. All he could do was scream for Emil to let him out whenever he sensed the blond going into battle. He knew, though, that Emil couldn't hear him. That Emil didn't want to hear him. He wasn't sure what hurt more, really—knowing he wasn't able to protect the one he cared for anymore, or knowing that Emil hated him so much that he wanted him locked away forever. He punched an invisible wall, growling, frustrated with his inability to show Emil how he felt. He hated failing, it always hurt.
