Blood

Lang Fai POV

I felt sore all over the next morning.

I ran my hands over my face, shielding my eyes from the sunlight that was coming from the large curtains.

"Morning lovely."

Wei showered my face with kisses.

I just hummed in response.

"I brought you clothes. How about I dress you up today?"

I nodded.

I let him dress me, but at the same time, I could feel his eyes undressing me.

"You look so angelic.."

He gazed lovingly into my eyes.

I met his eyes with my blank ones.

Li Wei pulled me up into his embrace.

"Have a look at yourself."

He spun me around so that I was facing the mirror.

I didn't know what to say.

Pulling myself away from him, I went to go and fully open the blinds.

"Fai?"

I stopped, turning around to look at him.

"Yes?"

"You know I love you right?"

I simply nodded, opening the curtains, before trailing back into his embrace.

Li Wei kissed the top of my forehead, before grabbing a bag next to the bed.

"I have work, so I'll see you in a bit."

I could do nothing but nod.

Opening the window, I watched his figure disappear into the crowded street.

Is he going to murder someone in broad daylight?

I closed the window with a loud thump, not wanting to think about it.

Looking down at my feet, I stared at my cuffed right ankle.

Pain.

Pain will make it go away.

Pain can heal.

As if on instinct, I grabbed the small pocketknife on the dresser that Li Wei kept for safety.

Lifting up my wrist, I sliced my soft skin.

Then another.

Then another.

My vision started getting blurry.

Blood stained my sleeves.

I used the pocket knife to cross out the now healing scar a little above my now bloody wrist.

LW.

I didn't want this kind of life.

If only I could escape it.

Everything went black.

-

I groaned, shifting my weight to the other side.

How long was I out?

Checking my phone, it said 2pm.

I passed out around 10am.

Damn.

Ah, shit.

I had to clean up the bloody sheets before Wei sees.

Wait.

Where is he?

Scanning the room, there was no sign of him.

he still hadn't come back.

Good.

Picking up the sheets, I threw them into the washer, turning it on.

I myself needed to clean up.

Throwing off my shirt, I threw that into the washer as well.

I'll just have to wait.

"When will I get a better chance to see you strip more hm?"

I gasped at the cold touch of his arms, as they snaked around my bare chest.

I could feel my cheeks burning.

"Lovely, what did you do to yourself?"

Li Wei lifted up my left arm, examining the fresh scars.

He licked the excess dried blood off.

I did nothing.

"Why didn't you wait for me hm?"

I said nothing.

He came back early.

I could feel his dark brown eyes staring straight at me.

His hands crept up to my neck, then my face, as he caressed it.

"P-please stop.."

I stuttered.

He looked straight at me.

"How can I? When you're just too beautiful.."

Before I could open my mouth, we crashed against the door, his lips on mine.

His arms were loosely looped around my waist, driving me up against the door.

My hands gripped the front of his shirt, pressing our bodies against each other.

It felt so wrong.

It wasn't right.

I bit his lip, causing him to break the kiss.

Well, I thought.

He took it as a chance to slip his tongue into my mouth.

I could feel his tongue.

I could taste him.

He tasted like copper.

Blood.

He moved away from my lips to my neck.

He bit my collarbone harshly.

He marked me.

"Ngh..please I-I said stop.."

I could feel my face turning red.

"Why are you doing this to me? Why do you hurt me?"

Burying my flushed face into the crook of his neck, I cried.

"Why me? Why am I so special to you?"

I felt myself drop in a thump, from our position.

I could see his dark expression, as Li Wei towered above me.

He was clearly upset.

I tugged on his sleeve.

"L-Li Wei?"

A loud slap sound echoed around the house.

My eyes widened in shock, as I clutched my stinging cheek.

The tears never stopped coming.

He looked so angry.

Another slap.

Then another.

And another.

His brown eyes were smoldering.

His expression was so fierce.

Then he started to scream.

"Why can't you see that I love you!"

"Why won't you be mine?!"

"W-Wei please.."

I stood up trembling.

I cupped his face.

My face burned in pain.

"P-please don't be mad."

He started to laugh creepily.

I didn't like it.

"If I can't have you, then no one will."

My eyes grew wider.

"N-no, Wei, please, please!"

I felt a terrible pain in my stomach.

I let out a short gasp, squeezing my eyes shut from the burning pain.

He stabbed me. He really stabbed me.

Is this what love was to him?

"I love you." He whispered.

I could feel his tears dripping down my face.

Was I going to die all alone here?

I felt myself slipping away, from his arms, from his gaze.

And then there was nothing.
