Strange Love [19 Days Fanfiction - He Tian/Redhead]

Chapter 11 ☼ The Feeling

I'm notorious for thinking you're
Full of beautiful
Instead of hollow
Sugar on your lips, it's hard to kill
Jagged like a pill, so hard to swallow
-Halsey (and Justin Bieber) / The Feeling

A heavy fog covered the large wall of a window in He Tian's apartment. It clouded and blurred the lights that illuminated the street and city below, creating a sort of calming solitude in the warm and well lit kitchen and living room.

With the back of his hand, Hong Fa wiped a bit of sweat from his forehead. He Tian watched him with hooded eyes, a small smile on his face.

"I bet people down in the street think that we're having killer sex up here with how much this window has fogged," He Tian announced, running a finger across the condensation.

"What the fuck," Hong Fa snorted. "Of course that's the first thing you mention. Not that it's warm in here and that I'm making you beef stew, but that people will assume we're having sex."

The dark haired boy laughed, "You and I know the truth though. We have yet to christen the relationship. Two month anniversary is coming up though, you know."

Two months. He Tian couldn't believe it'd been two months. Never had he imagined he could be with someone for so long without consequences, but he hadn't seen or heard from any of the Wenyi Siwang members. He flaunted around with Hong Fa's hand clutched tight in his own, because the gorgeous redhead belonged to He Tian.

Anyone who claimed otherwise generally had the shit scared out of them, and the interaction would end with Hong Fa guiding He Tian away. But jealousy hadn't been a one way street, oh no.

Hong Fa, He Tian discovered, could put him to shame. The discovery came about all thanks to Jian Yi. It had been about three weeks prior, and they had been eating inside to avoid the frigid cold that winter had brought. Zhan Zheng Xi was out sick, but Jian Yi had surprisingly come to school rather than skipping as well.

And he had sat with He Tian and Hong Fa. The blond had spent the entire time stealing He Tian's food, touching He Tian's hair, rubbing his leg subconsciously against He Tian's thigh. Granted, He Tian knew it was something Jian Yi was doing to soothe himself while the one person who kept him grounded was gone.

Hong Fa didn't know this. The boy absolutely thought that Jian Yi was flirting, and he was livid. The boy had managed to keep his cool until Jian Yi had claimed, "You have a jaw that could fucking cut someone, He Tian. Like, you piss me off but you're attractive as fuck and I'd willingly let you slice me with your cheekbones."

"Fuck off," Hong Fa had spat, surprising both of the two other boys. The redhead had quite literally been silent the entire time. Hong Fa's hand flew down to seize He Tian's thigh while his other hand knocked Jian Yi's hand away from where it rested near He Tian's. "You already text him all the time. You're supposed to be working your way into Zhan Zheng Xi's pants and not my boyfriend's."

Which, Jesus Christ, turned He Tian on beyond belief. He simply smirked back and forth between Jian Yi and Hong Fa. Jian Yi stared with mouth agape, but then almost immediately began cackling, "You think I like him? That's fucking hysterical, oh my god-"

Hong Fa had simply given Jian Yi the finger, and despite He Tian secretly wishing there'd be some sort of cat fight, he winked at Jian Yi and took Hong Fa by the arm to guide him from the room.

Out in the hallway, Hong Fa was flushed completely red from anger, "Of course you think this is funny, you-"

But he Tian hadn't waited for Hong Fa to finish, but instead ducked forward and closed his mouth over the soft skin of Hong Fa's neck, sucking and pulling at the skin with his teeth. The boy gasped, his hands seizing He Tian's shirt, and He Tian pulled back as soon as he was sure he'd burst vessels under the milky skin.
