Adversity is a Gift (19 days fan fiction) He Tian x Red Head

Chapter Five - Need

He Tian was tense as the lift made its way up to the floor where the Dragon Head's office was, He Cheng stood next to him in solidarity.  His brother had really come through for him, and he was starting to rely on him more now, which felt weird after years of being distant with each other.

    "I'm going over now."  He Tian's vague mask was in place, he didn't want the people in this office to see his apprehension.

    "I will take you to Qiu's once you're done."  Cheng whispered this once they started across the office.  Several people stopped the brothers to shoot the shit and asked where they had been, they both waved them off with vague comments and once the obligatory back slapping had run its course, they were free.

      He Tian went over to the door and knocked, waiting for permission to go inside.

    "Enter."  His Uncle's voice made his stomach squeeze tightly.

    "Uncle, I come bearing bad news."  Tian figured he may as well get straight to the point, no sense in prolonging his punishment, so he strode to the desk and stood to attention in front of his Uncle's desk.

    "Nephew, tell me."  His Uncle stood up and came around the desk and sat on it, his arms crossed in a relaxed position, was he trying to appear nonthreatening?  He was failing.

    "Someone had already visited the prisoners when I arrived and they used my name to get in to see them.  The prisoners are only allowed one visit, so I was unable to speak with them."  He Tian met his uncle's gaze bravely, he didn't want his Boss to see anything on his face which reflected his inner turmoil.

    Mr Jian was silent for the longest time, Tian could see a varied range of expressions moving across his face.  They were all different stages of anger.  Ranging from angry disbelief all the way up to pure rage.  All of these emotions were quickly centred on him when his Uncle finally looked him in the eye.

    "You lazy shit!  This is all your fault because you were dragging your heels pissing about and this has happened.  Now I still don't know who planned the rape of my boy!  I need justice and you're fucking about with females.  I guess you're just a mongrel mutt after all.  The apple never falls far from the tree, does it nephew?  I should kill you for this."  His uncle could always move so silently, quickly and viciously.  Before He Tian had time to draw in a breath, his Uncle had him by the throat and was squeezing tight enough to make him gag and cough.  The noise wasn't loud enough to make its way through the thick door and to Cheng.

    "Why do you always make me do this Tian?  You make me so fucking furious all the time, sometimes I want to just grab this throat, squeeze and keep squeezing until your face purples as you gasp futilely for air.  Then you would be dead, what a sight it would be."  Mr Jian's crazy handsome face was close to his and he watched Tian struggle to draw a breath. 

Didn't his Uncle realise he was actually choking him?  Was he fantasising about it in his sick fuck mind and not knowing he was strangling He Tian in real life? Psychotic bastard!

    He Tian tried to speak, tried to say that he was going back tomorrow, but his uncle's grip wouldn't loosen.  No, no fucking way!

    Suddenly he was released and he managed to gasp out what he'd being trying to tell his crazy Boss.

    "I'm....cough....going back...cough.......tomorrow."  He Tian gasped and held his neck, it burned and his throat struggled to open back up again after being pressed on so hard.  He drew in greedy breaths after a while.

    "Good.  Get out.  Keep disappointing me nephew and see how that works out for you."  His Uncle's cold voice followed him across the room.  Tian straightened his shirt collar and adjusted the collar of his school jacket to hide the finger marks, then he tried to gather himself together before he opened the door to Cheng.
