You are mine

Chapter 11

Tao was standing face to face with Kris in front of all the people he cared about. The priest was reciting their wedding vows but Tao was deaf to it all. He could only hear the thundering of his own erratic heart beat. His hands were shaking and he could hardly breath. He was hyper aware of his surroundings. How his mothers eyes were red as if she had cried, how his father's face was more hard and expressionless than normal, how his friends were looking at him with worry, pity, sadness and fear. They were afraid for him. The thought made him almost smile. Almost. And last of all how Kris was holding his trembling hands firmly yet so gently and how his eyes were completely on him. He snapped out of his thoughts when the priest announced them legally married and told Kris to go proceed with the mating bite. Tao's eyes widened and his heart beat sped up some more. He knew that the bite was a part of the ceremony. It was normal. But the bite on the neck was a sign of complete submission. He didn't want to submit. Kris cupped his face with one of his hand and placed his other on Tao's shoulder. Kris gently tilted Tao's head to the side and leaned in. Tao barely held back the tear that was threatening to spill. Kris kissed the point where his shoulder and neck met and bit down not enough to draw blood but enough to bruise. Many heard Tao's pained yelp but only Kris heard the lonely broken sob that accompanied. The next moment Kris's lips were on his and the world stopped. It was a strange feeling. It was his first kiss but he knew that it wouldn't be his last with Kris. It was merely a peck, a touch of the lips but To Tao it felt like a final stamp, of him belonging to Kris. It hurt.

Kyungsoo's heart broke every second he watched Tao during the ceremony. He could see himself in Tao's place in the near future. He could practically feel the fear and hopelessness radiating from Tao and as Kris leaned in to give the mating bite to Tao he had enough he quietly slipped out of the hall and into the open air of the hotels garden. He had been there for barely a minute when he felt someone gently patting his head. He turned his head to see Jongin standing there looking at him with worryingly. Normally Kyungsoo would've snapped at him but he today he was too emotionally exhausted for that. He sighed ," I don't want this". " don't want what?","I don't want to spend my whole life with someone I don't like someone I can't tolerate. I dint want to live a life without love.","I can give you more love than you have ever felt in your life.","but I don't want your love", Kyungsoo turned pleading eyes to Jongin," please jongin I don't want to live with you. I can't. You can have anyone you want. Please just not me". Jongin's hand stilled and his eyes hardened for a second before returning to the gentlle eyes and soft patting," I'm sorry but I can't do that. I can give you everything but that", kyungsoo swatted his Hand away ." But I don't want you. Can't you see. I don't love you. Please , jongin, please I want to be with someone I love, please". Jongin's expression hardened. He grabbed both of Kyungsoo's elbows and harshly tugged him towards himself barely leaving a few inches between their faces. Kyungsoo stopped startled by the sudden change demeanor. Jongin had a cruel Cold expressing," I don't care that you don't love me. Because you're mine. No one else's. Only. Mine. Do you understand?. So don't even dream about being someone else's or loving someone else. Because no matter how much you hate me, at the end of the day you have to come to me. In tears or happily. Your choice. So get these useless thoughts out of your head". With that he walked back inside. Kyungsoo crouched down and buried his face in his hands and let the tears flow. Unaware of jongin watching him from afar with a broken expression.

Baekhyun was sad. He wanted so badly to help his friend but he couldn't. He could only watch as his friend was married off. He felt so utterly useless. He was sitting in the wedding hall watching everyone dance. Luhan was sitting next to him. Suho had gone off to dance with yixing. And xiumin had reluctantly agreed to dance with Chen. Baekhyun was happy for suho. To have found someone he loves rather than to be forced like Tao and Kyungsoo. He could see Tao and Kris sitting with their parents discussing something. Or more accurately their parents discussing and then sitting awkwardly. Baekhyun shook away his thoughts when he felt someone sit next to him. He turned around to see the big eared elf a.k.a Park fucking Chanyeol. He so wasn't in the mood for his bullshit. He turned to see Luhan glaring at Sehun who was sitting next to him with his usual poker face and an air that said " I don't give a fuck". He groaned loudly, why couldn't they just leave them alone. Chanyeol chuckled from beside him, "Happy to see me?","in your dreams"," In my dreams you're doing much much more". Baekhyun snapped his head towards him surprised. This was the first Time that Chanyeol had stated his interest in Baekhyun so straight forwardly. Usually he was more subtle or at least a bit decent if not shy. But it seemed like he had decided to follow in his brothers footsteps. Baekhyun gritted his teeth. " Why don't you get lost?". Chanyeol clutched his chest in mock hurt." Your words sadden me can't I sit on a chair and enjoy my time at my friends wedding?". "Stop beating around the bush and tell me what you fucking want". Baekhyun practically hissed the words. Chanyeol just smirked that same smirk that made Baekhyun want to punch him several times. " You". "W-what?", Baekhyun asked dumbstruck," I said I want you. Is it hard to understand?". " stop shitting with me Park. I don't want anything to do with you". Luhan was watching them with a worried face. He was startled when someone grabbed his hand and pulled him up to stand. He looked up to see the poker faced sehun. Sehun dragged him towards the dance floor where many couples were dancing to a slow song. Luhan tried to free his hand but to no avail. Sehun yanked him towards himself and wrapped his other arm around his waist when they reached the dance floor. Luhan was dumbstruck. He had never talked to or even interacted with sehun. He knew that they were practically engaged but being in this close proximity with him was making him nervous ." What are you doing?let me go" he struggled to get free. Sehun just tightened his hold on him bringing him more closer. Luhan could feel his breath on his face though sehun was a head taller. Luhan suddenly felt too small," stop making a fuss, and just dance", His voice was too deep that they sent shivers down his spine," you have a lisp" luhan stated surprised. Sehun's ears turned red but he managed to remain straight-faced, " No I don't". " you do . You so do. And your blushing. Oh my God you're embarrassed, the mighty Oh Sehun is embarrassed oh my God. This is awesome. And now you're flustered, you're sooo cute" , luhan rambled on and sehun turned redder and redder. " shut up and don't call me cute" sehun pouted." and now you're pouting.", Luhan laughed," you know you're not as scary as I thought so I'm going to dance with you", sehun just smiled contentedly," I'm letting you go with calling me cute this time because you've agreed to dance with me. Next time wont be that easy". Sehun pulled luhan closer with a smile as luhan only laughed in response.

Baekhyun was momentarily distracted by luhans departure and when he turned around Chanyeol was watching him with that same intense expression and smirk. "You do know that its creepy when you stare at someone like that right?",Chanyeol laughed," One day, my dear vixen , one day.." Chanyeol didn't continue his sentence just shook his head and stood up abruptly when he saw jongin coming towards him with an expression baekhyun couldn't decipher. Jongin said something to him and then walked out of the hall. Chanyeol turned towards baekhyun with a smirk although Baekhyun could see worry behind his mask," we'll meet again soon my little vixen.". And before baekhyun could call him out on the nickname he was out of the hall following his brother. Baekhyun could only sigh.
