Chapter4) Words can hurt so much
Lu Xun hadn't had dinner brought to him like usual instead a servant came and got him and led him to Zhang He's room. Zhang He was sitting on his bed waiting or so it looked like that to Lu Xun. Lu Xun saw the other bed and a nervous energy started to buzz inside him.
"Hello Lu Xun." Zhang He smiled getting off the bed and walking over to Lu Xun. "Hmm, It's good to see you're not petrified like usual." Zhang He smiled getting closer to Lu Xun but didn't touch him.
"What's going on?" Lu Xun asked, and Zhang He's smile widened.
"You're going to eat with me that's all." Zhang He said calmly his hot breath caressing Lu Xun's ear. Lu Xun swallowed and stepped away from Zhang He and glared at him. "Now follow me. And don't try anything." Zhang He ordered. Lu Xun didn't move until Zhang He turned back around from the door and glared back at him, even then he kept glaring at Zhang He. "If you keep glaring at me then you're not going to get food. You should be glad that you are getting food tonight considering the stunt you pulled. Mmm." Zhang He said walking over to Lu Xun's side. Lu Xun softened his glare but didn't stop, and he continued to pout. "Tsk, tsk if you want to be a definite slave I will play your game but.." Lu Xun gasped as Zhang He pushed him against the wall. "You won't like the degrading results." Zhang He said quite seriously.
"You said you wouldn't touch me you bastard!" Lu Xun hissed trying to hide the fact he was a little scared.
"Oh I won't… but it does mean I won't beat you if needed." Zhang He said before continuing towards the dining hall. The silence that had settled during the meal reminded Lu Xun of the one in the bath and what had happen, it made him very uncomfortable. He was relieved when dinner ended and he was taken back to the room. Lu Xun retreated back to the hard cot but it was no worse than the ones he had to use during the war. "Not to seem rude or anything but how did you get capture by slave traders? I figured you being a Wu officer wouldn't have been caught." Zhang He asked sitting on his bed facing Lu Xun his eyes soft and for once not predatory. Lu Xun didn't answer at first as he debated on whether or not to answer at all. It didn't make sense to spill your guts to your enemy.
"I was out for a few days after the battle I guess since before finding myself tied up and being sold was the battle."
"Hmmm. Well that's not fair is it they didn't even give you a chance to fight for your freedom." Zhang He said. "You know I'd prefer not to treat you as a slave…. Keeping slaves isn't something I would do."
"Than why the hell did you buy me!" Lu Xun yelled, Zhang He was just being a hypocrite now.
"I bought you because not one of those slobs that were looking at you that day deserved your presence. They were beneath you Lu Xun. I couldn't let someone so beautiful and honorable fall into their hands. Besides if you would stop the constant glaring and not try to run anymore then I promise you'll have more freedom." Zhang He said his eyes very soft but his voice firm. "Most people would have scarred you by now not caring for your grace and power on the battle field a grace you seemed to carry even off the battle field when you stop being so moody." Zhang He smiled lightly leaving Lu Xun shocked.
"It still doesn't change that you bought me! And you want me to trust you to believe you to roll over for you, you sicko! We're enemies! I hate you and that will never change! And I will not become some sex toy for the likes of you!" Lu Xun burst sick of hearing Zhang He tell him that if he's a bit more pleasant than he'll be fine. Zhang He looked a little surprised by the sudden out burst but still stay calm and collected. For some reason Lu Xun finally felt like he was getting a little power back after he yelled at Zhang He. Lu Xun felt pleased with himself since Zhang He had yet to comment on the out burst.
"I never asked or said you'd be a sex toy as you put it and I just want you to trust me because it makes it easier to be around and conversate with someone who doesn't think you'll stab them in the back Lu Xun. Also the wars over, we're not enemies. You're my slave." Zhang He's voice carried an angered tone and by the end had give into this anger but restrained himself from hitting Lu Xun. The last thing Lu Xun said echoed in his head as he left the room. He needed to clear his head and avoid the sight of the cute boy in his room right now. Another thing Zhang He couldn't shake was the fact that Lu Xun said he hated him. He had been hospitable with the exception of hitting Lu Xun and not speaking to him but those were necessary evils. Sure they had been enemies but the war was over, Lu Xun could be bitter about the war, but to say that he hated him. Zhang He couldn't shake it, and it hurt sure he had, had the intention of getting Lu Xun into his bed he wouldn't deny that but he was going used to teasing and having the smaller boy around, he was getting attached to him. For some reason he just had to get Lu Xun to like him now to tell him he didn't mean it. Zhang He weakly smiled, it was weird that three words from the Wu generals mouth could hurt him deeper then any other wound he had received.
Author's Note: Okay this one took a little longer then planned. It's was much more Zhang He angst then I planned to also I'm sorry if you don't like this chapter because it's well sappy and may seem like Zhang He's falling in love to fast but it's been in my mind a few weeks. So sorry again if you don't like but do tell me. Any review is good cause it feeds my muse.
