The heat

The kitchen table was silent as they dined. Menglin raised his head once in a while only to look somewhere else when Boyu's eyes met his. It has been only two days after the crazy day. The picture of them kissing- more like Boyu's abrupt kiss was still fresh on his mind. But what bothered him the most is that how he didn't stop him by the 2nd time. His heart thumped making him groan. 

"What's wrong lin? " 

Boyu looked at him worried and it made him feel worse. This was wrong. He isn't supposed to feel things like these towards his cat! 

"N-nothing" He spared a small smile. "I'm going to bed " 

He didn't know why he said that. It's not like he binds to report everything he does to his cat out of all people. Whatever look Boyu may have given he didn't wait to look and marched towards his bedroom and locked the door. He was being a dick but it was for the best, for both of them. 

He was wide awake when the sound of restless feet padding noise was heard from outside his door. 

"Lin?" 

His heart clenched at the painful whine. He buried himself in the covers trying to block the pitiful sound. It's going to be a long night. 


Next day he was out of the house even before it's 6.00 a.m. 

"Nick? What are you doing here so early? You're never early " 

He smiled slightly at the half hearted joke. Their director was in her mid thirties, known for sense of humour and easy going personality. Luckily she didn't pry anything. His phone beeped taking his attention for a moment. 

' Menglin we need to talk '

He clutched his head and moaned. He clearly knew what his mother wanted to 'talk' about. She has been going about it since the beginning of this year. The mere thought of his problems ahead gave him a massive headache.  

It was eight when all of the crew had finally arrived. Fandy gasped mockingly when he spot Menglin leaning on the railing of the balcony. "Babe look who's mourning in the morning butt hurt because he can't get laid ~" 

Zach gave him a stern look. 

"C'mon if not there's no reason for him to be here this early. You know he's never early" 

Fandy was right there was something off. Zach also knew something might have happened inspecting the guilty and panicked? expression on Nick two days ago, like he had done something terrible and thinking about it's consequences. He didn't get mad at them when they made out on his couch during the movie night which was a first, and he didn't seem to be himself after the phone call he received. 

" After the break "

Fandy bobbed his head agreeing. 

It was one hectic day. Because the previous shedules were packed they barely had any time for a break. Zach looked worried whenever Nick messed up his lines or worse forgot them. It was so unlike him. They had to repeat the same scene over and over again because of his spaced out state. 

" Menglin " 

All of them winced visibly. When their director calls them with their full name it's never going to be pretty. There was a sigh. "Take a break and please, eat something you look like you're ready to pass out " 

Fandy nudged his boyfriend after Menglin dissapeared to the restroom. Zach shook his head after thinking for a while. 

                                                                     ************************

Boyu shivered and wrapped his arms around his torso feeling cold. The familiar warmth he was used to wake up was not there. He blinked open his eyes staring at his own vacant bed with dull looking cold sheets. He still can't believe his owner shut him out. A pang of sadness hit him making him almost cry. Few weeks ago he was just feeling insecure, but this time it clearly isn't the case. 

Suddenly a painful throb assaulted from his lower abdomen making him moan. It never occurred to him before and it made him scared. Before he could think of anything the painful throbbing increased by ten folds making him roll over the bed panting and sweating. 

"W-What's h-happening to m-me?" 

He yelped feeling another pain shooting through his spine. Earlier feeling of cold compteley replaced with intense heat as if there's a fire inside him draining out his energy. 

"L-lin! " He whimpered loudly. His fingers clawed the bed sheets as he attempted to stand, tears rolling down his cheeks. Knowing he wasn't there for him when he needs him the most was more painful than the discomfort he's feeling now. 

" ~Hello this is Yang Menglin. Please leave a message if it's an emergency~  " 

The melodic voice didn't seem to calm him anymore. In fact it rather sent him to a rage. The table toppled sending the telephone across the staircase crashing with a loud noise. A sob escaped his lips as an unbareble pain now shooted along his tail. He all but crawled to the bathroom all fours creeping to bath tub filled with cold water with a hiss. 

For a moment he caught the reflection of himself by the mirror and froze. His eyes were full blown and dark with no hint of innocence. His eyes widened with a gasp and it took more than a few seconds to regain it's original colour. 

"What's h-happening? " 

Boyu sobbed feeling helpless. He stayed there for more than 2 hours until the  unexplainable throbbing and the heat stopped. He had heard about 'the heat' but never had the slightest idea about how painful could it be, or the aftermath for the matter. 

Spending his very first heat alone was anything but fine. He felt scared, sad, lonely and most of all angry. How could Menglin do this to him? Didn't he say he loved him too? 

Boyu shed his wet clothes shakily reaching for the dry ones. He sniffled inspecting his now shade darker pupils and dull black tail which used to be brown mixed bushy fur. He had finally hit the age, which should have been one of the most important days of his life and unfortunately it happened to be a painful and pathetically lonely one for him.
