Love Bleeds Red

Tala makes to follow Kai but stops when he sees Tyson.

Granger's flaky friend and real friend flank him as he attempts to pull himself together.

Tala marches over, and crouches, putting a semi-gentle hand on his arm to get his attention. "What did you say to him?" he asks, in a soft voice because he doesn't want the vultures hovering around to overhear.

He's really crying in front of everybody and the nature of the feelings behind those tears cannot be more obvious. Jesus, if they weren't sure before everyone knows they're fucking now. This is going to be a mess to clean up.

Tyson doesn't respond. Tala shakes him.

"He didn't say anything," answers Hilary.

"Oh great." Kai's probably on his way to kill Hiruta for stealing his boyfriend. "Great job, Granger. You could have at least told him you were drunk."

"Can you back off?" says Hilary. "Why are you even here?"

Tala ignores her. Granger turns over his hands tearfully (ah, finally some movement). They are scrapped, blood blooming on the pale skin of his palms. Tala frowns at it "You're making a scene," he says lowly. "Get up."

"I said leave him alone." Hilary bodily puts herself in between them, glaring hard at him. Tala rolls his eyes, standing back up. "Get him off the floor at least, princess. People are staring."

He leaves them there with that, walking towards his motorcycle when he spots Ming, snapping pics with her phone. Now what the fuck is she filming? Tala struts forward and grabs for the device.

She snatches it out of his reach just in time.

"Everyone's already seen it, Yuriy," says Ming, smiling smugly. "There's no covering this up."

Tala curses.

"Off you go." She waves him away with her colourful, painted nails.

He reluctantly peels himself away from her devilish self because he has more urgent matters to attend to. Like a murderous Kai loose on the streets of Tokyo. He needs to find him before he loads up Hiruta in a concrete roller.

Tala calls Bryan.

"Off your ass. We need to go to Hiruta's apartment now."

"Why the fuck would I go to that sleazy motherfuck-"

"Kai's gone there." Probably.

"Oh" says Bryan. "I'll get there in ten."

"Make it five if you can."

"Sure, boss."

He hangs up and climbs on his motorcycle. He hopes he gets there on time.


There are no sounds coming from the apartment when Kai knocks on its front door.

Calm, casual, he waits. A hand in his back pocket. His posture the picture of cool composure save for the rampant pulse ticking in his neck.

When the door opens he looks up.

Megumi's face greets him in the doorway.

His skin drains of all colour when he sees Kai.

"Couldn't face me like a man?" asks Kai.

Hiruta moves, trying to shut the door on him. Kai blocks it with the heel of his palm and his other hand shoots out to grab his collar.

His fingers lock around his shirt and he brings him down. Dragging him to the floor. Hiruta throws punches and it hits Kai on his jaw, his chest, his stomach.

But he gags him. Gags his mouth and before long, he has his hands tied behind him too.

The knots are tight. They dig into his flesh.

Kai throws him over a shoulder and carries him out of the apartment.


"You're fucking insane."

He's arrested to a chair. In the middle of a half-empty warehouse. Kai leans against a table ten feet away, an assortment of nondescript objects behind him.

"Should have known better than to touch Tyson," he replies, perfectly laid back and at ease.

"What is wrong with you?"

That gets a different reaction out of him, a flare of emotion. "You fuck my boyfriend and ask what's wrong with me?"

It's a threat.

Megumi can sense it.

A trap for him to fall into.

If he wants to make it out of here alive then riling him up was not the way to do it. But he can't help it. This is crazy.

"You know they'll come looking for me. They probably are right now. You're not going to get away with this."

"Won't I?" He lifts an eye brow, a light smile curling on his lips.

He checks his ties. They do not give at all. Fucker's good at tying people up. Probably has a lot of experience with it.

What did he get himself into?

The Hong Kong bosses said the Blitzkriegs were just like them.

How were they so wrong?

It was almost impossible to find information on them. Rumours and speculation was all they ever had. Curse those fatties in Hong Kong. They're responsible for this.

Kai stands there like he has no intention of moving any time soon. He's not going to let him out, is he? He's going to keep him here for as long as he wants. And that may be an eternity.

Slow torture and death.

Hiruta begins sweating.

Kai twirls a blade.


"Fuck, I can't get a hold of him."

"Is his location on?"

"No. It's off."

"He's feeding him into a meat shredder. I know he is."

"Concrete roller. Make him a part of the road."

Tala and Bryan share a giggle.

"This is not funny, you fucks," says Sergei. "Voltaire will have a field day if he finds out. And that dude has powerful parents."

"A lot of good that's done him." Tala opens up his messaging app. "Let me try texting."

"'He was drugged'?" Bryan reads aloud. "You think it's a good idea to tell him that right now?"

"The quicker he and Granger make up, the better it is for bonehead."

"Why?"

"Granger will distract him. They'll be busy fucking. Can't turn men into roads when you're fucking."

"I don't think this is a good idea," says Sergei.

"Well, he's seen it." Tala winces. "Whoops"


He's going through his phone.

The ropes are breaking skin around his wrists.

Kai scrolls through what Hiruta assumes to be the gallery. He'll find the Tyson pics.

He's scraping his nail against the tip of the blade in his hand.

It takes time. Long pauses in between scrolls and clicks.

His posture however doesn't change. May be a slight tension across his back every now and then.

Kai eventually sets the phone down on the table.

"You had him scared," he remarks, voice cold. Distant as he turns to look at him. "Did you know that?"

Megumi swallows thickly. Heart beating wildly in his chest.

"I should have killed you instead of your friend that night."

"He wasn't my friend."

"Mhm, I was wrong to let you go. It should have been you."

Silence stretches between them.

"Are you going to kill me?" asks Hiruta.

Kai is quiet for a long moment. Then he says:

"Killing you won't be enough."


That meat shredder comment Bryan made is giving him ideas. Tala peaks into what seems like the forty fifth aisle he's checking and sighs when he finally finds Tyson.

Curled on a couch, holding a book with his sweater paws.

He flinches when Tala says his name.

"Relax, Granger." He takes a seat next to him in an adjoining chair and leans into his space to whisper, "I think it'd be useful for you to know that Megumi has a roommate."

Granger looks at him. Face small but eyes curious. Bryan hadn't nicknamed him Bambi for no reason.

"And she's not a psycho." He nudges a piece of paper into his hands. "That's her insta handle. You can thank me later." He gets up.

Tyson reads the username on the paper thoughtfully, nervously.

Tala leaves him to it.


He stares at the paper for a little too long, scared for unexplainable reasons.

He pulls out his phone and types in the username.

HanaD7Maria

Fourth year. TIT. Lover of cats and Tv shows, her bio reads. She has a kind face.

Tyson clicks on the direct messaging option on her profile.


"Thank you for meeting me. You're so kind for this." He tugs at his gloves. Hana is even more friendly-looking in real life. Bundled in winter clothes and hair dyed blonde, she's only a head shorter than him.

"No, literally. It's fine." She takes a seat. "Sit down. Let's talk."

"I hope you don't mind if I-"

"It's okay. Let's put your mind at ease. Let's do what we came here to do first and then we can get to know each other."

"Thank you"

Hana moves her hair out of her eyes. "You said you don't remember anything?"

"Yeah. I don't. It's all black. I don't remember coming to your apartment.*

"Well, I was there that night. I saw you. You were… swaying on your feet. Super drunk."

Tyson takes a breath. "Can you tell me what happened after I got there?"

"Yeah sure. Megs brought you into the hall but you were kind of bumping into things so I helped him get you onto a couch. And then you kept…Talking about missing someone named…Kai?"

"Yeah. Kai." He lets out a small nervous laugh.

Hana chuckles too. "Well, you wouldn't shut up about him." The wind keeps blowing her hair into her face. "You were kind of a hot mess. You started stripping after a couple of minutes and he had to get you out of my face. You took off all your clothes by the way. I saw your butt."

"Oh my god"

She grins. "Megs took you to bed and you fell asleep right away."

"In… his bed?" asks Tyson.

"Yeah"

"Did-?" he stutters.

"Nothing happened though. The door was open all night and I couldn't sleep."

"Nothing happened?" Tyson asks, overwhelming relief and shock flooding through him. He can't believe it.

"Absolutely nothing happened. You just fell asleep. And he went to bed next to you. He sleeps shirtless by the way. I see how you could have woken up confused. Yeah. You must have been worried."

"I was! I thought…"

"Well, don't worry. He literally forgot to close the door so I can assure you one hundred percent that nothing happened. He's a cool dude. I mean you seemed drunk as hell and he's not the type to sleep with drunk girls. Let alone guys so… chill."

Tyson takes a big breath of fresh air, it feels like his lungs are breathing freely for the first time. "Thank you so much. I was so worried."

"No problem. I'm happy to help." Hana smiles.

"How long have you been living with him?"

"Six months. Moved in at the start of the year."

"Oh"

Now it makes sense why she thinks he's a decent guy.

"Are you and Kai like dating?"

"Yeah" he admits shyly after hesitating for a second.

"Cool" She grins. "You probably thought you cheated. Damn. It must have sucked not knowing."

"It did. It was terrible. I couldn't eat or sleep."

"Aww. Well I'm glad I could help."

They stand up.

"Thank you" Tyson hugs her out of happiness.

Hana accepts it warmly. "Anytime"


Hiruta's bathed in blood and is missing his front teeth when Kai gets a call.

He takes off the black glove to check who it is.

Tyson

Kai answers after a beat.

"Can I see you? I want to talk. Please."

Kai's heart clenches in his chest at hearing his voice.

Yes, baby. Of course.

He closes his eyes. Breathes. "Sure" he says. He sends him his location.

His voice had broken him out of a nasty place he had been in. He glances at the moaning Hiruta before walking away.

Shrugging the gloves off, he waits for Tyson.

It doesn't take long. When Tyson appears in the doorway he looks winded, like he had rushed here.

His eyes fall on Hiruta's form and they go wide.

"What?" he mouths, glancing between him and Kai. Then he swallows and makes his way to Kai. Stopping close to him.

He looks up, wringing his hands.

Kai can smell his candy-sweet breath. His brown eyes, wide and sparkly, and nervous as he gazes up at him.

"I… I had drinks with him and he took me to his place but nothing happened. I blacked out but I met his roommate earlier. She said- she said I missed you, took off my own clothes and climbed into his bed and fell asleep. I didn't do anything with him. He just used the opportunity to get back at you. He didn't… didn't touch me." He gasps in a deep breath, looking worriedly at Kai. "I didn't sleep with him. He lied. I- I thought-"

Kai gives a minute shake of his head, having heard enough.

Tyson quiets, his heart in his eyes.

He can feel the bloodlust disappear, the tightness in his chest receding, and the little boy in a tiny corner in the heart of his heart cheering that he gets Tyson for himself. That no other man has had him.

Happy that Tyson's his to keep.

But he can't come up with any words to respond to Tyson.

He nods. Turns to Hiruta and makes the decision to let him go.

Tyson blinks as Kai struts forward and slices Hiruta's knots loose. "Get the fuck out of here," he says.

He watches him leave. Pretty much bolting out of there.

When the door of the warehouse shuts closed, Kai approaches Tyson. Raises a hand to touch his pretty, delicate skin.

It feels like he hasn't seen him in forever. It hasn't even been a day.

His lashes flutter at the contact, shivering as Kai steps closer to him and leans down.

He cups his face, raises his chin and kisses him.

Not gentle, but possessive. He takes his mouth and kisses him out thoroughly, till he's gasping and wet.

Kai hoists him into the table. Leaves hickeys down his neck.

Tyson scrambles at his shoulders for purchase. He's wordless. Yearning.

Kai takes him on the dirty warehouse table, fast and rough, wanting to reclaim what he thought he'd lost. He comes deep inside of him with Tyson moaning loudly into his mouth. His arms and legs wrapped tight around Kai.

He spasms through his orgasm as Kai slightly pulls away to look at him, having come first in him for the first time.

He's like a little flower. Blooming in Kai's arms.

He moves the sweaty hair out of Tyson's eyes. "Baby" he calls, still buried inside of him.

His lips are cherry red. Skin soft and glowing as he opens his dark eyes to look at him.

"I- Kai" he says his name, half-moan, half-breath.

"Baby" He kisses him, thrusting a bit into him.

Tyson's fingers press into his shoulder.

Their noses brush.

"I thought I lost you."

Tyson shakes his head, a tear slipping free.

It falls on Kai's cheek. "Never. I'm yours."

"Mine?"

"Yours" He nods.

He ends up fucking him again, trying to satisfy the sudden large pit of yearning that had opened up in his chest and gut. Needing that physical connection with him with a desperate urgency. The experience of nearly losing Tyson waking up some wild, needy part of him.

Tyson kisses him with his heart. It's palpable. He can almost touch his love with his lips. It's intoxicating. It's addictive. Tyson fits against him like a puzzle piece. Kai holds him like a treasure against his chest.

He can't imagine losing this. Hiruta had almost taken this away from him. Kai breaks the kiss to look at him.

"My baby" he says because it's literally all he can say.

"I love you, " says Tyson with his cute voice and cute lips and fervent eyes.

Kai lays him down on the table, draping himself over him, making love to him.

Tyson pulls him impossibly closer.


A/N: Yall- Gah. I hope you're having fun!
