Hot As Hell

7

Guan Shan never thought he would hate a day of peace of quiet. But today he hates it. He was used to walking to school in silence, after all before now he never had someone to walk with. But after a day of constant rambles, restoring back to silence gives Guan Shan an itch that he couldn't scratch away. To make things worse, if Guan Shan was alone all the silence would make sense. However, he is not alone. Right next to him, with hands in pockets and eyes staring at the sky, the demon He Tian is walking to school with him.

Guan Shan had wished silence from He Tian multiple times in the last few days that he had known the other. But once he actually got the silence, Guan Shan didn't know what to do with it.

"You know," Guan Shan starts to say, wanting to break the silence, "if you didn't want to walk me to school you didn't have to."

He Tian turns his attention from the sky to Guan Shan, startled, "Why do you think that?"

Guan Shan swallows back a snarky retort and shrugs.

He had a restless night, I should cut him some slack.

He Tian sighs and cracks his neck, "I barely slept last night Red Head I'm feeling slightly paranoid."

Guan Shan is startled by the quick honesty, he didn't know he had leveled up that much in their relationship.

Seeing the look on Guan Shan's face, He Tian shakes his head and mumbles, "You know what, forget I said anything."

Guan Shan huffs and kicks away a pebble by his feet, "You're a demon, what could you possibly be paranoid about?"

He Tian rolls his eyes, "I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about you."

Guan Shan stops in his tracks and glares at He Tian, "I'm not a damsel in distress He Tian."

He Tian stops walking as well and leans into Guan Shan so their faces are mere inches apart, his lips slightly quirks at the thought of Guan Shan as a damsel, "Who knows you might look good in a dress."

Guan Shan huffs in irritation and leans away, slightly pressing on the other's shoulder to push him back, "Who is going to hurt me? Do you have some assassins after you?"

He Tian shrugs and looks back up at the sky, "I don't know... something just feels wrong."

"But there should be someone coming after you right? I mean you're the prince of hell."

He Tian glares at Guan Shan, annoyed, "Do you want someone to come after us?"

"No it's just," Guan Shan tilts his head, "...You're right... something does feel off."

The universe took that as a cue to fuck things up. Almost instantly as those words escaped Guan Shan's mouth, the air, around the pair, crackled with electricity. Guan Shan suddenly feels his head go heavy and just before he tilts over He Tian catches him. His arms wrap around Guan Shan's waist as he holds the other up. The bastard of a demon is smirking at their position.

"Told you, you're a damsel in distress." He whispers as he leans in towards Guan Shan's mouth.

Guan Shan nearly pushes him to the ground at both the comment and the fact that He Tian is dangerously close to his face. But he doesn't because he sees something move from the corner of his eyes.

"He Tian," Guan Shan whispers, his body tense and afraid.

He Tian narrows his eyes as he senses the other's distress. A growl is heard coming from behind them.

He Tian lifts Guan Shan back to his feet and turns around.

"I'm not going back." He whispers to the wind.
