The Scent of Your Blood

Chapter 40

"Seonghwa, put me down, I'm getting light-headed," Hongjoong groaned as the demon stepped out of the elevator and he made his way down the hallway to the apartment. Seonghwa opened the door and walked in. He made his way into the bedroom where he laid Hongjoong down on the bed. The human's face was quite red and he glared at the demon.

"I hate you," he mumbled and the demon chuckled before leaning over the shorter man, his hands beside his head.

They stare into each other's eyes for a few minutes and Hongjoong reached up to cup Seonghwa's cheek and he rubbed that spot with his thumb. He grabbed the back of the demon's neck with his other hand and pulled his down, their lips connecting in a passionate kiss. Seonghwa slipped his arm under Hongjoong's back and moved him up the bed more. Hongjoong turns his head slightly and pushes the demon onto his back. He straddles him and kissed him again. Seonghwa sat up and wrapped his arms around the mortal, pulling him closer so their chests were touching. Hongjoong ran his hands up the demon's sides and squeezed, making the other jolt.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" He grinned with an eyebrow raised. The mortal giggled and did it again.

"Hongjoong," Seonghwa warned and the mortal smiled as he stuck his tongue out. Hongjoong started tickling him and the demon struggled to grab his wrists. He tried holding in his laughter but it escaped and Hongjoong started laughing as well. Seonghwa finally succeeded in grabbing the mortal's hands and they started pushing against each other.

"You're strong for someone so small," the demon teased and Hongjoong let out a shocked laugh, his eyes widening.

"I'm not small! You're just tall!" He pulled away and tried tickling him again but Seonghwa was able to grab his hands before he attacked. Hongjoong giggled and pulled away from the other's hold. The demon rested his hands on his thighs and rubbed his thumbs over that area.

He got off of Seonghwa and went to get off the bed but an arm wrapped around his waist.

"Where do you think you're going?" Hongjoong was pulled back against the demon's chest. He squealed as he tried to get out of his hold.

"You'll never take me alive!" He laughed.

Seonghwa pushed him onto his back and lifted his shirt, starting to blow raspberries on his stomach. Hongjoong began laughing even more and he struggled to move his head away.

"No, no, no! Not the raspberries!" He shouted and Seonghwa moved away. He grabbed Hongjoong's wrists and pinned them by his sides then went back to tickle his stomach. "Seonghwa!" He threw his head back and laughed loudly. He tried getting his hands free but the demon had a tight hold on them.

"Okay! I surrender! Stop," he giggles and Seonghwa stops. He moves his face to be level with Hongjoong's and he smiles.

"That'll teach you," he breathes and the mortal smiles.

Seonghwa leans closer to the shorter male, lips inches away from touching. His hold on Hongjoong's wrists loosened so the mortal took this chance to slip them out of the demon's hands and he squeezes Seonghwa's sides before pushing him back then jumps off the bed, running into the lounge room.

"You little shit!" Hongjoong laughed and jumps over the couch just as Seonghwa runs out of the bedroom. He got down on his hands and knees on the floor. "Where are you, my little human?" The immortal says and looks in the kitchen then makes his way over to the couch. Hongjoong slowly crawls around the lounge as Seonghwa walks around. "Found you!"

The human laughs as he scrambles away and the other grabs him by the ankles. He's suddenly hit with an unpleasant memory and Seonghwa started carefully dragging him back to the bedroom. The thought of Minjun dragging him across the floor, then getting on top of him, then sticking his finger in him... Hongjoong panicked, thinking Seonghwa was Minjun at that moment. He began crying and clawing at the floor.
