Suho felt his fury rising.
He let the younger mentally loose, even though he might start trying to kick him out again. But Chanyeol just appeared in front of him, breathing raggedly.

"So, you did it on purpose?"

"You aren't allowed to DO this! You can't rifle through my mind like I'm some kind of-"

"Some kind of what?" He interrupted, stepping closer. "Some kind of lesser thing? Some kind of human? Is that what you think they really are?"

Chanyeol looked away, working his jaw around. All the humor was gone from his face. "They ARE less than us. And YES. I'm not some human you can push around. You're supposed to ask me before using blood magic."

"Supposed to. Yet I didn't." They glared at each other. "What Kai said. Will I find it?"

"I don't want you-"

"Answer the question fledgling. Will I find proof of an unmendable crime?"

Now there were tears in his big, beautiful eyes. He spat the answer like a curse. "Yes."

The floor of his stomach dropped. "Show me them."

"No. I didn't want you to see-"

"I don't CARE what you want right now. You will show me, or I will take it from you."

"Suho..."

"Last chance."


He watched them all. Seven different memories of making the two humans drink each other's blood. He made them clean up the coagulated vomit when they got sick, made the pale one suck on the tan one's punctures while he penetrated him on the cold, dirty floor of his bedroom.

At the end he felt sick with rage. He kept up the blood magic while he fumed. At least in the taller's mind they wouldn't be overheard.


"And you're claiming that you did this for me?"

Chanyeol looked guilty at least- for the first time in a long time he lost that smug expression on his face. "Not in your honor or anything."

"But you did it for me- for my attention?"

"Suho... I... you left me."

"I left you to look AFTER things! Not to be a giant baby and throw the most disgusting tantrum the higher has ever seen! You forced yourself on this 'Minho' how many times? I mean, come ON. You're too damn powerful to be abusing your power like that! What do you think is going to happen tomorrow? Did you really think that I'd help you get out of this?"

"Honey..."

"Don't you 'honey' me. Tell me what you thought my reaction would be?"

"You weren't supposed to see me like this."

"And now I have." They stared at each other. "You better hope you aren't found guilty. The punishment is a century without a donor. You'd be stuck drinking only from the coven- and that's if they felt like sharing with a criminal."

"I know what could happen, but it won't."

"You sound very sure of yourself for someone at the mercy of the most unforgiving coven in the world."

"Trust me my love, this will play exactly as I planned it to. I stacked the deck in my favor. I know not only my hand, but everyone else's too."

Suho nodded and pulled the blood magic away, standing in front of the bed looking down on him. He pet over the lovely face in his hands. His beautiful treasure. His precious starlight. It really had been too long since he'd touched him. And he was never very good at staying angry with him either.
