IMMORTALLY PROBLEMATIC

Chapter 68: Home

"Phi, this is awkward so can you move?"
" Oh, I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable." Rain was right there, within his touch, he was right in front of him, the man he loved with his whole heart but he couldn't reach him. Right now Rain could only look at the beautiful stranger, who was way more handsome than Nuea. He felt frozen. Payu wanted to move back but his desires outweighed his thinking as he leaned forward to gaze at him. Rain felt strange but didn't complain as he liked it a bit. He couldn't explain how he felt but he was not scared of the man in front of him. Nuea on the other hand made him immensely weird. He didn't know what he was thinking so he couldn't predict him. When he realized what was actually going on, he pushed Payu back. Just then a knock was heard outside
" P' Nuea said I should check on you."
" I'll be right out."
Rain shifted himself and squeezed his way out. He adjusted his collar and came out of the restroom. Payu took sometime before he did the same. They went back to their seats. Yayi was now sleeping with Sky putting a hand in his chin wondering how he go into this situation. Yayi's hand was on his waist as support. Any slight movement by Sky, he moved too. Sky noticed that the Lord Protector was looking at him. He couldn't tell if it was curiousity or just admiration but he didn't stop. Pai couldn't help it. He was furious. His man was with another one right in front of him but he couldn't react. Yayi fluttered his eyes and saw Pai's gaze on Sky. He squinted them to see properly. Pai was practically drooling looking at Sky. He admitted that Sky was indeed pretty but he was his property. He sat up and instantly Pai averted his gaze to the drink in front of him. Yayi held Sky much closer and pushed him to himself.
" Sky, why don't you say yes to me?"  This was a conversation they both had inside so why was Yayi bringing it out in the open.
" Khun, can we not talk about this in the open. It's not really..."
" Really what? Sky, I own you, I bought you with my own money so you don't have a say in this, I own you from the crown of your head to your feet. I am supposed to own your body too but I'm being too kind and understanding." Pai had enough of his foolishness and said " how much? So you wouldn't demean him anymore."
" Demean? I'll show you the true meaning of demean. Sky stand up." Sky stood up " walk to that end and back." Sky walked. He stopped and turned back to him.
" Take off your shirt. Sky I own you do you have to do what I say. Or I'll kill you. Take it off. P'Pai said I'm demeaning you, I'll dehumanize you instead. Take off your clothes and crawl, crawl on all fours." Sky was terrified. This has never happened to him before in his entire life. Sky hesitated. Yayi went to where he was and ripped Sky's shirt. Sky felt humiliated and tears rolled down his eyes. Pai stood up, clearly upset as he shouted" Yayi! I didn't leave my chamber to come and witness your stupidity!"
" Prapai are you calling me stupid?"
" If you lay a hand on him, I will kill you... This is not a warning, it's a threat! And it's Phi to you, I'll cut your tongue out, try me." Pai stopped smiling. He was intimidating and menacing. The whole room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Yayi had stepped on his tail and he didn't even know how. He calmed down instantly.
" P'Pai I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."
"It's clear he's not safe in your care anymore. I'll be taking him from you now."
" What about the money I spent on him?" Yayi complained. Pai walked forward to where Sky was. He took off his jacket and covered Sky with it.
" Is it Money you want, take it." Pai opened a portal above his head and money started falling from it. It covered him before it closed. It was way more than Yayi had spent altogether and there was more than enough change.
Sky didn't know who the stranger was but it was way better than being here.
Payu stood up too, took Rain and said " that's enough for the both of them, I'm taking him back home to earth." Payu grabbed Rain by the arm and they left the place. Everyone moved from their way. No matter how low their enemies made them look, Pai and Payu were incredible people. No one, no matter who you were as long as you knew who they were behaved around them.

Pai brought Sky to Payu's house. It truly was far bigger than where he was coming from. He placed him in a comfortable room and was about to leave but turned around and said
" I'll make sure everything goes back to normal for you, and most importantly you're back to the person your heart yearned for." Pai wasn't going to force it. But he was going to make Sky fall for him even if it was all over again. He wouldn't mind. He would do it.
Sky smiled and thanked him he laid on the big bed. He felt at peace. There was no fear in his heart like he did at Yayi's where he would come and lay beside him or just stare at him from the door. He felt at peace.
Rain was taken to another part of the house. Where Payu placed him. He didn't want to let him go but knew it would be awkward if he didn't. He looked at Rain for a long time before tears began to stream down his face. Rain was confused and asked.
" What's wrong?" Payu sat on the floor and looked at him. He was flooded by emotions and dragged him down to hug him.
" My Rain. I know you don't recognize me now, I'm so sorry for leaving you here without me and ruining things for you. I'm supposed to protect you, all of you but I keep failing woefully at it. The real you would absolutely resent me for being a coward. A failure of a boyfriend and the one who keeps hurting you."
" You're my boyfriend?" Rain pulled back to look at him. Payu held his cheek still
" Yes I am."
" Then why did you let these things happen to me, huh? I really had it tough." Rain said sobbing into Payu's shoulders. He felt warm and familiar. He felt at home.
