Midnight Howl

Diopside

Diopside is known as a healing stone, one that heals trauma.

Yixing felt dwarfed in the office chair he was sitting in. He had his legs tucked in his chest, hugging them tightly as he kept a watchful eye on the tall, silver haired male.

After Sehun had left, the male asked Yixing to follow him. He didn't introduce himself though, but he seemed to know who Yixing was.

The office was dark, lit only by the fireplace in the corner. The two wolves from before were curled up in front of it. One was asleep while the other was watching Yixing.

Yixing flinched as the door shut. The silver haired male smiled reassuringly as he turned around, a steaming mug in his hand, "Yixing? Here. You must be thirsty."

He placed the mug down on the desk in front of the Chinese male. The liquid was chocolate brown and had bobbing marshmallows. Yixing looked at it suspiciously.

"It's not poison, just hot chocolate."

Yixing looked up at the male, still unsure of what to do.

The stranger sighed, picked up the mug and took a long sip of it. He set it down again, "See, I just drank it. It's fine."

Yixing took the mug tentatively and sipped at the hot chocolate. Immediately, his taste buds exploded with creamy chocolatey goodness. Yixing held back a moan as he drank more.

The man smirked, "Good right? See, if I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead."

Yixing froze, mid sip.

This caused the latter to swear, "Oh god, I mean...I'm Kris. Kris Wu."

Yixing set the cup down and bowed his head politely, "I'm Zhang Yixing."

Kris smirked, "I know."

"H-how...why did you bring me here?" Yixing looked around the office, "Where is here?"

Kris leaned forward against the desk, his hands rested on the dark wood, "This, all of this...belonged to my father. He swore to rid the streets of the gangs that tainted it. After he was murdered, I was made leader. Yixing you may not understand right now but you are important." Kris leaned in closer, "Very important."

Yixing felt overwhelmed once more.

Kris sighed and backed away. He clicked his tongue, causing one of the wolves to stand up. Yixing whimpered as it got closer.

"Calm down, Aura doesn't bite." The wolf proved Kris's words by just sniffing at Yixing before placing her head in his lap.

"She's just like a dog..." Yixing whispered, reaching down to pet her head.

Kris shrugged, "Only to the people she likes. Before, it was only me but for some reason...she really likes you."

Yixing smiled as he got bolder with his movements. He ruffled her fur, cooing and making cute faces. Aura was taking it all in. Kris grinned because he had seen this behavior before, from wild wolves. It was how mothers acted with their pups.

"Listen Yixing."

At the sound of his name, the dimpled male looked up.

"You're staying here. I'm sorry I uprooted your life but that's just the way it is now."

Yixing frowned and stood up, "What the hell?!"

Kris blinked, "Excuse me?"

"I said...what the hell." Yixing hissed, stepping closer to Kris, "You can't just kidnap me like some psycho and expect me to be okay with it! I have a life! I go to class, I have friends. You can't just take that from me."
