Be Mine - 19 Days FanFic

Threats And Promises

When he came to, Guan Shan was back in his bedroom on his bed. Remembering what had happened, Guan Shan gasped as he tried to sit up. The gasp was masked by duct tape that ran from cheek to cheek covering his mouth. The redhead's attempts to sit up were deterred by his arms behind his back, his wrists bound together with duct tape.

"Well, well. Look who's awake." Guan Shan turned his terrified eyes to see Jun Katsu and Zhong Xiu standing by his bed facing each other. "Took you long enough. I'm not a patient man, Mo Guan Shan, and you kept me waiting an hour. I'd punish you but you've just taken a beating and my, my," Jun Katsu chuckled and leaned down to get a closer look. "you look terrible."

Guan Shan's took a glimpse at Zhong Xiu who stared at him with cold eyes. He had a cut across his red nose that was starting to turn purple. Jun Katsu took Guan Shan's phone out of his pocket and pulled up the flash again. Guan Shan closed his eyes and turned his body away from them, facing his bedroom wall. He wished he was anywhere but there. Suddenly, his mind registered back to what Jun Katsu had said - an hour? Where's Ma? Shouldn't she be back from work? Terror made him shake, not for himself but for his mother - the only woman who ever cared about him. If they've touched her...

"Oh, no you don't." Zhong Xiu said, grabbing Guan Shan's shoulder and roughly turning him so he laid on his back with his hands underneath him. "I'm gonna have my playtime now. You broke my nose so I'm gonna make He Tian watch as I play with his precious redhead." An excited grin broke out across Zhong Xiu's face, his white hair falling in his eyes. He reminded Guan Shan of a older version of She Li.

As Zhong Xiu started to climb on the bed next to Guan Shan, his hand still holding a bruising grip on Guan Shan's shoulder, the redhead started shaking his head violently, protesting behind the duct tape.

Zhong Xiu turned his head to the camera, a twisted grin plastered widely on his face. "This is your fault, He Tian. He's going to suffer because of you." Turning his full attention to Guan Shan, Zhong Xiu reached for his jogging bottoms. "Now let's see what's under here, shall we?"

Guan Shan was crying now. He let his tears of frustration, anger and sorrow run down his cheeks and into his hair. He couldn't stop this monster from what he was about to do. If he died tonight, he wished it was after he told his ma that he loved her. Wished it was after he punched the stupid smirk off of She Li's face. Wished it was after told He Tian that he didn't really regret their kiss, that he was just scared. Suddenly, the front door opened and everyone froze. Guan Shan's eyes widened as he realised his mother was home.

No...

"Guan Shan? I'm home. You here, sweetheart?" She called from the kitchen.

No, ma. Please just walk back out that door.

"Guan Shan?" She was walking to his door.

Ma, please. I can handle whatever they do to me. But if they lay a hand on you, it would destroy me...

Jun Katsu and Zhong Xiu seemed frozen, staring at the door. Suddenly, the flash on the phone disappeared and Jun Katsu reached down to rip the tape off Guan Shan's mouth, giving him a dangerous look.

Automatically, Guan Shan called out to his mother, "I'm here, ma. Don't come in!"

It was silent for a second before she replied. "Are you okay, baby? You sound upset."

Guan Shan swallowed the lump in his throat. "Yeah, I'm fine. ma, please don't come in. I'm naked."

"Okay. Well, I'm off to bed. It's been a tiring day. Goodnight, baby."

"Night, ma."

The three figures listened as the woman retreated to her own room and shut the door. Zhong Xiu, now standing, and Jun Katsu looked at each other for a long time, weighing what to do. Guan Shan was just relieved they had let his mother leave. He closed his eyes and laid his head back on his pillow, silent tears rolling down his face. He flinched when a rough hand rested itself on his cheek. He opened his eyes to see Jun Katsu's face inches from his own.

"We must go now, Red. Shame we couldn't continue this, but I wouldn't want my own mother involved in something so..." He seemed to search for the word before grinning. "scandalous."

"Why are you doing this to me?" Guan Shan whispered, his split lip hurt as he talked.

Jun Katsu shook his head and his eyes roamed the redhead's bloodied and bruised face. "This only happened because you tried to attack Jian Yi and put his best friend in the hospital."

Guan Shan's lips parted in surprised horror. This is happening because I had a fight with Zhan Zheng Xi? Because I almost hurt Jian Yi? What the hell do these two have to do with men like these?! Did they plan this? But they almost seemed sympathetic earlier.

Jun Katsu, still searching his face, could see the betrayal in his features. He smiled and stroked his thumb over Guan Shan's cheekbone. "My dear, sweet Red," He whispered. "They have no idea we are doing this. They don't even know we exist. This was the doing of someone close to Jian Yi, someone you should never have crossed. There's also another reason as to why this is happening to you. Your father. Dear old dad and I have history and what better way to get back at him than through his son. Oh, and there's also He Tian."

Guan Shan recalled back to what Zhong Xiu had said earlier. 'This is your fault, He Tian. He's going to suffer because of you.' "Why?" Guan Shan's voice was hoarse as he asked.

Jun Katsu sighed heavily. "It's a long story, but it all boils down to him humiliating the man that let us do this to you. That same man is the one who gave me permission to make you my own." Another tear slid down Guan Shan's cheek and Jun Katsu swiped it away with his thumb. Jun Katsu filled the space between him and Guan Shan, kissing him gently.

Guan Shan blanched before trying to pull away, but Jun Katsu grabbed his cheeks and held him still. Guan Shan's head was suddenly filled with images of his first kiss with He Tian. He Tian had grabbed him the same way but his grip was softer. He tasted of mint whereas Jun Katsu tasted of cigarettes. Guan Shan hadn't liked his kiss with He Tian but he despised his kiss with Jun Katsu. Both were forced on him, but if he had to choose to repeat one for the rest of his life, he would choose He Tian without hesitation.

Jun Katsu pulled away and smiled darkly. He turned his head to look at Guan Shan's phone and pressed a few buttons. Then he put the phone on the pillow next to Guan Shan's head. He stood and moved to the redhead's attached bathroom with Zhong Xiu where a large open window sat that they had climbed into. When he reached the bathroom door, Jun Katsu turned to look at Guan Shan one last time.

"I'll be back for you, Red."

Then they were gone and Guan Shan was left alone with his thoughts.

A couple of minutes later, his phone started vibrating next to his head, causing him to jump. He lifted his head and looked at the screen. He Tian was calling him. Unable to answer it due to his bound hands underneath him, he laid his head back down and let the tears flow. His grief and despair, great-fullness and relief overwhelmed him as his adrenaline faded, leaving him tired and empty. He cried for what would have happened if his mother hadn't walked in the house. He cried for what could have happened to his mother. He cried for what was going to happen to him.

Jun Katsu's departing words hadn't just been a threat but a promise, too.
