"I was there for him when no one was. I helped him through everything. I showed him that there were people in this world that loved and cared for him and yet he never had eyes for me. Am I just not good enough for him!" Bing Wen snorted tears falling down his cheeks.
"It's not your fault. This is his destiny. He was destined to become The Quadbrid's partner. Your a warlock, you must understand this. Just stop crying and calm down." Lu Feng said trying to sooth Bing Wen. 'It's not his fault he fell in love with my dumb brother ' he mused.
"Calm down?" Bing Wen snorted "I have loved him for eight years, Lu Feng. Do you know I felt when that bastard introduced himself as Hao Tieng's boyfriend? How it made my heart ache? He got the one thing I've always wanted. Do you know how it hurts me whenever Hao Tieng friend zones me? You don't know how it feels like to love someone who will never love you."
"I know how it feels like. To like someone who is madly in love with someone else but I guess my situation is better cause I atleast have a ray of hope. Maybe someday me and him will be together but for now I guess we're both victims of unrequited love."
"I guess we are."
"Let's go back inside before you catch a cold."
"Can we just stay out here for a while longer?" Bing Wen asked gazing up at the sky.
"Okay." Lu Feng reluctantly agreed. 'Maybe one day you'll forget about my brother and like me instead.' he mused.
'I wonder who Lu Feng likes that doesn't like him back. He's understanding, handsome and rich. Who wouldn't like him?' Bing Wen mused.
Who knows how long those two stayed outside gazing at the sky? It was already morning and The Xiu Family Home was awfully quiet. Mr.andMrs.Xiu were having coffee while reading the newspaper. Lu Feng had just woken up and was taking a shower. Lin Mie was getting ready for work. Just like Hao Tieng, she had also refused to work for her family claiming to make a name of her own. Bing Wen was heading to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. Gang Zhi and Hao Tieng had just woken up and were having a conversation. After Hao Tieng blowed the immortal, they fell asleep in each other's arms without taking a shower.
"These scars..." Hao Tieng said tracing his fingers down Gang Zhi's toned abs. "How did you get them?" he asked with a pained expression on his face.
"In the war." the immortal answered.
"In the war?" Hao Tieng asked furrowing his brows.
"Yeah. That was after I thought I was just a tribid. I didn't know about my werewolf and dragon side. All I knew was that I was strong and I could use my abilities in the war. So I decided to join the army and I was stationed in Vietnam."
"I'm glad you survived....By the way I wanted to ask, What are sirens?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"I want to know the creatures that tried to kill me before I could even defend myself plus I wanna know more about every supernatural creature out there. I feel like the next thing I'm gonna hear is that mermaids are real and they're hunting me down." he answered. Gang Zhi's laugh invaded his ears. He wondered what could be so damn funny when he was serious. "Why are you laughing?" he asked.
"At you.... Mermaids? Really? Those are just fictional creatures made up to make sirens seem beautiful or whatever. Sirens aren't beautiful nor do they have the same skin as humans and they're not friendly at all. A Siren's skin color is based on the color of it's eyes. When I get wet, my skin turns into a purple-silver ,same thing with my eyes but my tail doesn't show up unless I want it to." Gang Zhi explained.
"What about that time when you're using the shower at my apartment? Your skin color didn't change." Hao Tieng inquired, remembering the sight of Gang Zhi's naked buttcheeks.
"I never actually showered. I just stood there naked while the water was running. I didn't want you to find me and call me a monster." those words actually hurt Hao Tieng. He would never call Gang Zhi a monster. Even the day he found out Gang Zhi was a vampire, he never thought of the immortal as a monster. He raised his head and looked straight into Gang Zhi's eyes. "I would never call you a monster. Your the most good looking man I've ever seen in my life. Whether you have veins shooting out your eyes or you have a tail, it wouldn't change what I think of you." Hao Tieng said placing a kiss on his immortal.
Bing Wen ,who had been instructed to call the couple for breakfast, walked in on the couple's moment. Mrs. Xiu had given him a spare key in case they refused to come out but Bing Wen didn't bother knocking hence finding Hao Tieng and Gang Zhi sharing a passionate kiss, their clothes scattered around the room.
The two didn't seem to notice Bing Wen as Gang Zhi deepened the kiss running his hands up and down Hao Tieng's back.
"Uhmmmm.." Bing Wen cleared his throat finally getting their attention. Hao Tieng's face was buried in embarrassment while the immortal just put on an evil grin. "They're calling you for breakfast." Bing Wen said and run out of the room.
" Hasn't he ever seen two men kissing before? What's his problem?" Gang Zhi asked feeling extremely annoyed with the lad. 'Doesn't he know how to knock?' he mused.
" The problem isn't seeing two men kissing. The problem is that he likes me and seeing us together probably hurt him."
"So your best friend likes you? Did he confess to you? "
"Yeah, back in highschool... Uhhh fuckkkk... I didn't wanna hurt him. I have to find him." Hao Tieng said looking around for his clothes. While Hao Tieng was still looking for something to wear like a mad man , Gang Zhi noticed something weird on Hao Tieng's left hand. "What's that?" he asked
"What's what?" Hao Tieng snorted.
"That sign you have on your left arm." Gang Zhi said walking towards Hao Tieng. Hao Tieng noticed the odd looking thing almost like a tattoo on his arm. "Where did this come from? I didn't have it yesterday. "
"Are you sure you didn't have it?" Gang Zhi asked staring at the mark on Hao Tieng's arm.
"Yes, Why are you staring at it like that? I'm sure it's nothing."
"I've seen this mark somewhere and trust me it's definitely not nothing."
"Where have you seen it?"
"Back in 1992. There were these things. They we're like shadows and they're were chasing me. Just when they were about to kill me. This baby showed up out of nowhere and protected me. It had the same mark on it's hand. It had these blue fires and a huge beautiful blue dragon surrounding it. After scaring the shadows away it landed in my arms and smiled at me. Then just like that it was gone. It just varnished the same way it came.....In which year were you born Hao Tieng" Gang Zhi asked remembering how that baby appeared out of nowhere and saved him.
"In 1992. Why? Do you think I'm the baby that protected you? I'm sure you're just hallucinating. Your the Quadbrid. You can't be killed."
" Those shadows were surging with black magic. Magic that isn't got from the earth. If those shadows hadn't gotten to me. I would be dead."
'Ohh shit now there is a possibility that I was some kind of super baby. I wonder what super hero name I could've given myself. Baby Tieng to the rescue!!!!!!!' he mused
