Hot As Hell

3

Guan Shan wakes up sweating. He's sweating in places that he has never sweated before and his throat is practically begging for water. Groaning in discomfort he turns over to the other side of his bed and practically yells in surprise when he finds He Tian sleeping right next to him. By instinct, he kicks the other harshly off his bed.

He Tian lands on the floor with a loud thump.

"Ow," he hears the demon say. The next second he was back on Guan Shan's bed, lying right on top of the other.

Guan squeals at the weight, the extra weight on top of him not helping the overwhelming warmth that his body was suffering from.

"Get...off...of...me."

"No," He Tian mumbles back, blowing hot air unto Guan Shan's neck, "You're... being... punished..."

Guan Shan huffs in irritation, and with the strength, he didn't know he had so early in the morning, he knees He Tian, hard. He Tian groans and shifts away from Guan Shan, "Rude."

Guan Shan rolls his eyes, glancing at the clock he swears, "I'm late."

He Tian, from his sprawled position on the bed, gives the other a questioning look, "Late for what?"

Grabbing his towel Guan Shan answers, "School."

"You go to school?"

"Uhh...yeah.."

"Wow, the education system on Earth must really suck."

Guan Shan resists the urge to throw the towel at the other, as he turns the knob of the bathroom door he glares at the demon who is lazily watching him, "Don't get any funny ideas."

He Tian smirks, "What? Me? No way. I'm a good demon."

Guan Shan rolls his eyes again, "Yeah right."

With the stunt you pulled this morning, you would probably jump in the shower while I'm still in there.

Guan Shan suddenly blushes at the thought, seeing that He Tian smirks wider.

"Your face is turning as red as your hair," he comments.

Guan Shan shakes his head and slams the bathroom door loudly behind him while yelling the words shut up.

Right as Guan Shan turns the knob to welcome the sprinkle of water from the sputtering shower head, he hears footsteps. He freezes.

God dammit.

The curtain of the shower ruffles and there's a low chuckle. "Hey Guan Shan, can I borrow your clothes, I can't just wear the cloak all day long." (A/N; so basically when He Tian met Guan Shan's mother he was wearing the cloak XD)

"FOR FUCKS SAKE HE TIAN GET OUT!"

___

"Why the sour face sweetcheeks?"

"If you call me 'sweetcheeks' one more time..."

"What are you going to do, kill me, the demon?"

Guan Shan growls in annoyance and He Tian smirks at the response.

Swallowing the last bit of the omelet that Guan Shan reluctantly made for him, He Tian stretches his muscular arms which are bulging in Guan Shan's old black t-shirt, and says, "It's been a long time since I have been to school Redhead, I'm excited to relive the experience. "

Guan Shan, harshly grabbing He Tian's dish responds, "You are going to stay here and make sure no one robs the house."

"What?"

Turning the tap on to wash the dishes Guan Shan grimly responds, "There's no way you're coming to school with me."

He Tian pouts, and whines, "But I waaannnaaa."

His whine sounds like a low screech of a tire being rubbing harshly against the pavement.

Guan Shan slams the dishes he washed unto the rack, and turns around to glare at He Tian, "No."

"Why not?"

"Uhhh I don't know... maybe because... you're a demon?"

"I'm going to be bored at home."

"Wow I so don't give a fuck."

"Wow I can tell you're in a great mood." He Tian responds, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Guan Shan grinds his teeth, "I have other things to worry about so forgive me for not caring about you being bored for one day."

He Tian frowns, "What's wrong Redhead?"

Walking to the table to grab his bag, Guan Shan bitterly says, "Like you fucking care."

"Yeah, actually I do fucking care, believe it or not."

Guan Shan huffs, slinging his bag across his shoulder he says, "The guy you burnt to ashes... he...accused me of sexual harassment so I will have to deal with that investigation today. They probably expect me to confess."

"Wait you... sexually harassed that... guy?"

"No that's not it...just...forget it."

"I'll come help you."

Guan Shan stares at He Tian with his hands on his hips, "And how will you do that?"

"I'm a demon, I can do anything."

Walking to school, the last thing Guan Shan wanted to do was to recount his idiocy to a demon but there they were.

"So you're telling me," He Tian begins to say as Guan Shan finishes the story, "That you agreed to a deal without fully knowing what the deal was in the first place."

"Look I was desperate for money."

"Or you were desperate for trouble."

Guan Shan clenches his teeth, "Hey you're the one who said trouble finds me."

"And I'm starting to realize that I was more correct than I originally thought I was."

"Can you help me or not?"

He Tian for a while walks in silence, and Guan Shan patiently waits for a reply.

"No."

"Fuck you."

"I'm kidding Redhead, I will find a way to help you."

Guan Shan kicks a stone in his path, his heart, for some reason, beating rapidly in his chest with those words.

"Why are you acting nice?"

He Tian raises his eyebrows, "I'm not acting nice, I'm being nice."

Guan Shan scoffs, looking away he responds, "What would you want from me? As a repayment?"

He Tian's gaze softens as he looks at the other, but Guan Shan doesn't notice as his eyes were elsewhere, with a soft voice He Tian replies, "Let's just say it's payment for the beef stew."

Guan Shan shifts his gaze back to the other, with a soft smile gracing his lips he asks as the other, "Was it that good?"

He Tian smiles back, his lips turning into something it doesn't often, "The best I have tasted in my life, and trust me, I have lived for a long time."

Guan Shan faces ahead with a proud smile on his face, "Of course, I'm the best beef stew maker this country has to offer."

He Tian, without thinking, reaches forward and gently ruffles the other's hair, "Of course you are."

Guan Shan doesn't flinch away at the touch, like He Tian thought he would, instead he leans into it, laughter bubbling in his throat.

He Tian ends up smiling bigger than he ever thought he would.

Guan Shan's laughter echoes across the empty street and He Tian's ears rejoice at the sound.
