Chapter 01 – After dinner

"You don't need to lie to me, Jian Yi." He Tian said, feeling a glare on his back. "I'll talk to you later, Guan Shan."

"I know, but what if he hears it?"

"You kissed him, he knows how you feel."

"He punched me afterwards, so I told him to pretend nothing happened."

"Coward."

"But the thing is…" Jian Yi sighed. "There is a girl that likes him. She is cute and all, and even though she confessed, he rejected her."

"Do you know why?"

"Because of me. He said 'If I say yes to her, what about you?'" He Tian smiled, a mischievous smile. "What?"

"You are depressed over nothing. Your problem is really easy to solve."

"And how we'll solve it?"

"I'll call you later. Redhead can't hear it, or else our plans will be spoiled."

Right when Mo Guan Shan was about to protest, Zhan Zheng Xi appeared in front of them, with all his things packed.

"I'm done and it's getting late, we should go."

"I thought we were spending the night." Jian Yi pouted.

"You should go," He Tian said, causing Jian Yi to be surprised. "Now."

The blond picked up his stuff and the four guys headed to the entrance. Zheng Xi and Jian Yi left, and when Guan Shan was about to leave as well, He Tian's hand grabbed his collar and pulled him back. He then closed the door, locked it and put the keys in his pocket. Guan Shan was still facing the door, slightly shaking. He Tian moved away from the redhead, sitting on the couch.

"I told you I would talk to you later."

"What do you want from me?"

"I don't get you, Mo Guan Shan. First you say that I should disappear, that I disgust you. Then you come to me all worried."

"You were hurt."

"You don't care about those things."

"Because of me, damn it. You picked up a fight with She Li, so he wouldn't bother me anymore. You got hurt because of me."

"I know you." He Tian sighed "It isn't enough reason for you. Tell me the truth."

"What truth?"

"I want to know how you feel about me, because you already know how I feel about you." He said, emphasizing the 'I'.

"Are you sure?"

"Just spill it out."

"Unlock the door."

"What?"

"I'll tell you if you unlock the damn door."

"How can I be sure that you won't run away?"

"Guess you'll have to trust me."

He Tian got up and turned around. Redhead was still facing the door. He went there and unlocked it, seeing Guan Shan hold the doorknob right after hearing the click. He Tian stepped back, prepared to see the other guy flee. But he didn't.

"I wasn't disgusted because you are a guy, nor because it was my first kiss. I was disgusted because it was against my will." Guan Shan pressed the doorknob "I hate the fact that I'm weak, and there were you, rubbing it in my face over and over. You just found a different way of subduing me. What I feel towards you…" He took a deep breath "Is fear He Tian. I am afraid of what you're capable of doing to me, knowing that I'm weaker."

And then he went away, leaving He Tian astonished.

He got lost in his thoughts until he heard his ringtone, grabbing his cellphone right away and answering it.

"What?"

"You said you'd call me, I was waiting."

"Jian Yi… I forgot."

"Something happened between you and redhead? You closed the door before he left."

"Come back here, and wear the clothes you're willing to wear tomorrow, or else Zhan Zheng Xi will get suspicious."

"I'm already home, you m'fucker. I'm not going back all the way over to your house."

"I'll pay a damned cab, if that's the problem."

"I'm feeling like a hooker, seriously."

"Just shut up and come already."

"On my way, shithead."

It took about thirty minutes for Jian Yi to be back to He Tian's loft. He entered the apartment and threw his things on the table, sitting beside the taller guy in the sofa. He Tian's face carried a serious look. He was sitting with both elbows resting on his knees, a single hand under his chin and the other pending between his legs.

"What's troubling you? I've never seen the almighty He Tian like this before."

"For you to understand I'll have to tell you everything from the beginning."

"Go ahead, then."

"How you probably realized, I was keeping Redhead as sort of a maid, cook, or something like that. Even though I used fear to make him work for me, I was paying him to do it."

"I didn't know you were paying. Why?"

"It seems like he needs money. He didn't tell me the reason, though. Even my hand bandage it was him who did it."

"Ok, now get to the part where you two had a fight, or something, I don't know what happened."

"I kissed him yesterday. He was drinking water and I took his bottle. Redhead started bitching about how he didn't want me to put my mouth on it, because it would get dirty with my saliva. That's when I realized he had never kissed anyone before, so in an impulse, I French kissed him."

"How did he react?"

"That was the first time we fought for real. He tried pushing me, but ended up in the floor himself, crying and wiping his lips. I asked him if I disgusted him that bad, and he said that I did. I'd rather get kicked in the balls than hear it."

"Oh, so THAT's why he bumped onto me crying and didn't even say a word."

"At night you called me to say those things about him getting framed, and She Li, and all this shit, so I figured She Li visited him. You already know everything that happened today, so I don't need to tell you that. When you guys left, I talked to him."

"I wanted to hear it, but Zhan Xixi dragged me with him."

"Remind me to thank him later."

"Even though you're telling me everything now?"

"Yes. Oh, that's right, I forgot a little thing. After my fight with She Li, I searched all the school for him, so I could pay him to help me with my hand." He Tian showed his bruised hand to Jian Yi. "He took his dress shirt off and came to me all worried and almost… Regretful?" He sighed, messing up his hair with his good hand. "Today I asked him why he looked like that. I also asked what he felt towards me."

"I bet the answer wasn't pleasant."

"Of course it fucking wasn't!"

"What does he feel, then?"

"He fears me like the plague, Jian Yi. He thought I did that only to shove up his face I can do whatever I want to him, because I'm stronger than him. I know I can, but even if I'm a bastard, and I know I am, I won't. He also said that he wasn't disgusted because I was a guy, but because I did it without his consent."

"What a cherry boy."

"You kissed Zhan Zheng Xi without his consent too, right?"

"It's a goddam long story."

"Well, after he said everything he ran away from here. I don't think he's coming back even if I ask him for his maid services."

"That's your reward for making him do things for you outta fear."

"Enough about me, tell me everything about you and the other fucktard. You want my help, don't you?"

"I don't really want." Jian Yi made an uneasy expression. "I need it."

"Need?"

"I have no clue on how to proceed, even though things should be going smoothly, they aren't. I need a little push, you know?"

"Then tell me the long story."

"I went to his place when he was hurt. You even helped me ditch classes."

"I do remember that, you still owe me one."

"When I was opening his front door to leave, something quite cliché happened. His sister also opened the door, what caused me to lose balance. We ended up in a very awkward position. I could feel his sister's stare on my back, I had both hands besides his head, and we were extremely close. Just like you I acted on impulse, but it wasn't a French kiss."

"Keep going." He Tian said, seeing that Jian Yi hesitated.

"He punched me hard in the face, and I ran. The one crying wasn't him, though, it was me. But the bastard followed me. And do you believe what he asked me?"

"What?"

"If I liked men."

"And do you?"

"What do you think?" Jian Yi glared at the other guy. "Then I said we should pretend I had never gone to his house. That none of this ever happened. And he agreed, the next day we were just like always. Nobody suspected a thing, and we just pretended everything was handy dandy."

"So since that day you guys are like this?"

"Yes. Xiao Hui confessed her feelings for real this time after I kissed him, he rejected her and it gave me hope, but nothing happened afterwards."

"The girl who saved Redhead and the girl who confessed to Zhan Zheng Xi are the same?"

"We were lucky. Any other girl wouldn't want to save Redhead's ass. I bet she only did it because Zhan Xixi is his friend."

"I'll thank her on Monday."

"Be careful."

"Are you asking ME to be careful?"

"That girl is the devil, He Tian. She's way worse than you."

"I don't care. So, about your problem…" He Tian picked a cigarette and lighted it, smoking afterwards.

"You said you had an idea, what is it?"

"I had more than one idea, to be honest. But if the first works, you don't need to know the others."

"Just tell me already!"

"Stop being clingy."

"What?"

"Zhan Zheng Xi is used to you being clingy, always touching him, always near him. If you start acting cold, he might open his eyes."

"I don't want to do that." Jian Yi said tearful.

"Then don't do it and remain best friends forever. Or force yourself onto him and watch him start to hate you."

"Just like happened with you." Jian Yi teased.

"Say that one more time and I'll kill you."

"Whatever. Now I want to sleep, should we go to your bed?" He winked.

"You stay here on the couch." He Tian said and left, coming back with a few sheets. "Here".
