After his lingering fingertips rubbed reddened skin coated with bite marks wistfully, they travelled down to the hem of Win's blouse before working the buttons of their own volition.
Bright's fingers paused once he reached the boy's collarbone.
"You aren't going to button the rest?" Win asked meekly.

"No," His scarlet orbs lifted to meet his own, "And I better not fucking see you closing it either!" He grunted.
"But Bright, they'll see-" His miffed, though Bright's countenance was enough to shut the boy's mouth as he stared at the ground in dejection.
"Oh? Do you have a problem with that, had we not decided only minutes before, that we're in a relationship?"

"We did. I...I don't have a problem with it." Bright chortled, grabbing Win's hand to have their lips meet.
He intertwined their fingers shortly after, nodding towards the exit with a satisfied grin.
"It's nice that we're finally on the same page babe."

Win nodded in assent, ignoring the queer feeling curling in his stomach .

It was strange, to say the least. His thoughts were all over the place,
Why are his eyes still red?
God, is Elijah okay?
What the fuck am I doing?
Am I really about to leave looking like this?
I have to,
I-
He released a sigh underneath his breath. For a moment he thought he wouldn't be able to calm him down. The fire in his eyes was so profound, almost consuming him whole. He didn't really understand the whole situation, but surmised it was caused by jealousy? Perhaps stimulated by the bond? He wasn't too sure. Win felt sick at the recollection of violence, whatever was going on it wasn't okay. They needed to get help!Much too exhausted to broad on the thought any further.He couldn't really, even if he wanted to, as Bright's grip on their intertwined fingers tightened as he opened the door.

"Don't do anything dumb, or say some shit that'll piss me off. I'm already peeved as it is."

"Okay."

ooOOoo

"Fuck, fuck!" Reece ambled towards the girl anxiously.
"Cara! What's the situation?" He was immediately shot with a glare as she turned to face him.
"Elijah is in the fucking hospital receiving stitches, stitches!" Reece's mouth fell at that, closing soon after dejectedly.
"O-on his face?" Even a small scar or an ugly bruise could potentially ruin someone's modelling career, they could be under soo much shit.
"Thankfully, there was no serious damage. But he's still fucking suing!"

"Suing?! No-"

"Yes! And if you fucking did something to stop the fight like a man we wouldn't be in this situation!"

Reece raised his brow at that, already feeling a slight tic at his jaw. She didn't know Bright, no one knew Bright like he did. They didn't know what he was capable of.
"And get my jaw broken? Yeah, no thanks! You saw him Cara he-he wasn't himself." Cara gritted her teeth before releasing a sigh.

"Reece I- I need to know." Reece furrowed his brows.

"What, what is it Cara?"
She hesitated, tilting her head to the side in thought.

"Are..are they..fuck it- are Bright and Win dating?"

He swallowed, that familiar feeling nagging at his stomach, making him feel sick.
In all honesty, he wasn't too sure of the situation himself, but as thick skulled as he was, he wasn't stupid.
There was obviously something going on, Reece could tell the situation was provoked by jealousy.
"I..."
"Reece?" She questioned, noticing his irresolution.
"They're just-"
The door knob was fumbled with for a short moment before gasps resonated through the air.
At that point in time, Reece had his head turned to the subject of commotion, and he really wished he hadn't.

"Never mind I got my answer."
They stood hand in hand, both a disheveled mess. Dried blood painted Bright's arms, Reece guessed first aid wasn't something they'd occupied their time with.
Of course what they had, was painfully obvious by the terribly aparrent brusies that littered the latter boy's neck.
He had his head pointed to the ground, shivering slightly, and if it wasn't for the situation Reece would've already had him in his arms in consolation.

Though he had a terrible feeling that he wouldn't be able to, heck he'd be lucky if he was even able to stand at a metres length from the boy without Bright being on his case.
Bright held his head high, allowing his fingers to toy with the open collar of the boy's blouse now and then. Even going as far as to pull the unbottened material further apart, making sure each one of his markings were on display for the world to see.

An awkward cough by the girl beside him, brought him out of his trance.
"Bright, Win, welcome back!" She said weakly. Perhaps she fought against the idea of abating him for what took place, which would probably be the best idea considering the situation.
Reece didn't think tempting Bright would be the most logical of ideas, unless she was eager for another fight occur.
That would just be an act of a sadist.

Win tried lifting his head to respond to her, but an immediate nudge on his shoulder told him otherwise.

"We aren't staying for long. I'm not in the mood to do this fucking shoot today, soo we're leaving."

"But-but Bright! Today's the deadline for this shoot, it cannot be postponed!" She tried, adding as much urgency as she could muster.
Bright narrowed his eyes, Win winced inaudiblly at the almost painful twining of their fingers.

"I don't give a fuck Cara, deal with it! And if you can't do at least that much, then hit up my excuse of a manager to do it for you."
Unwilling to listen to any further protests, Bright dragged Win towards the exit. The door slamming shut behind them.

"Cara are you okay, listen Bright isn't himself he-"

"Whatever, I get it." She shrugged biting her lip to hide a frown.

"Cara! Is that you?" His presence was as unwelcomed as the pimple that had suddenly visited Reece's jaw.
Cara wasted no time, stalking up to the man.
"Where the fuck have you been Dean?!" She spat, snarling in resentment.
"I-I only just heard of what happened...I'm sorry I've been absent lately it's just-"
"It's just what Dean? What could have possibly been important enough for you to neglect your duties as Bright's manager, he's literally on the verge of being in the most difficult scandal of his life, and you aren't even here for him." She pointed at him accusingly, and as selfish as it would sound Reece was more than relieved he wasn't in Dean's position.

"My wife was in labour." Jaws dropped at that, including his own. His absence, lack work ethic, everything made sense.

"I just didn't want her to feel abandoned and to go through the whole process by herself. When my mother had me my father was too busy with his job to bother with it. I just couldn't imagine my wife enduring such a thing." Cara pursed her lips before scratching her neck. Allowing a few strands of blonde hair to cover the side of her face in shame.
"I'm- I'm soo sorry Dean, that was soo arrogant of me to assume." Dean immediately sprung his hands in the air, shaking them frantically.
"No please don't apologise, how could you have possibly known. It was my own irresponsibility that allowed this to take place. I should've taken the initiative to let the company know of my situation." He nodded to himself, before straightening his shoulders.
"I am well are of the situation. I will speak to Elijah."
Reece shook his head.
"No, he will never listen to you!" Dean adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, feigning confidence.
"What other choice do I have Reece?" Reece turned his head, pressing his tongue against the inside of his cheek.
He didn't want to have to get more involved than he already was.
Simply the thought of having to see the cunt's face again irked him to no end.

"Whatever, I'll go see him."
