Tw// Violence, abuse, homophobia

Xingqiu POV:

Things has been perfect the past few days, I had spent all of my time with yun yun and it seemed all of my worries had dissapeared,

But of course,

Nothing lasts forever.

There was a knock at the door, a loud one and the second I heard it my heart sank,

I knew who it was.

Chongyun told me to stay there and went to answer the door,

I wanted to go with him, make sure he was safe and make sure they didn't hurt him... but I was too scared to move, to scared to even speak, all I could do was listen and pray.

From the bedroom I couldn't hear much but I could hear some faint talking, and then the talking became yelling, I could hear pretty clearly now.

Shenhe wasn't here right now, so jt was just me and yun yun alone to defend ourselves,

I sat there shaking as I listened to the angry yells,

Then it happened.

I heard a bang.

Chongyun POV:

It was about 9am and me and Xingqui were just sitting in bed when suddenly there was a loud knock at the door,

I was confused but I saw Xingqiu's face turn pale, it was like he entered a panicked state just by the sound of the knocks, he knew who it was,

And so did I.

I went downstairs to answer the door, I was a little scared but they were going to come in one way or another and I would rather it be peaceful,

When I opened the door I saw a tall man, he looked angry, really angry.

"Where is my son." He demanded before I could greet him,

"I'm sorry?" I responded, I wasn't going to let him take Xingqiu from me,

"My son. Where. Is. He."

"I don't know." I spoke, acting clueless,

"Don't lie to me you little rat! Tell me where he is and nobody gets hurt!"

I started to get a bit more scared now, but I had to stay strong,

"Who is your son?" I asked, still trying to play dumb,

"Your little boyfriend." He spat, he leaned down really close to me, probably trying to intimidate me,

"Oh, you mean Xingqiu? He isn't here."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" He yelled, making me jump a little,

"You heard me old man, now get out of here." I was starting to get angry,

Shit.

"DON'T SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! SHOW SOME GODDAMN RESPECT!" He screamed,

Now I was really starting to lose it,

"Why should I show you any respect when you show up at my house and start screaming at me because YOU can't find your son?!" My temperature was starting to rise and I could hardly control my anger any longer,

Just the sight of him made me mad, knowing that he had hurt my Xingqiu, knowing how neglectful he had been, and now he was telling me to respect him?! Well that pushed me over the edge.

"I won't ask again. WHERE IS MY SON."

I glared at him silently. There was no way I was handing Xingqiu to him. Not in 1 million years.

"Well?" He spoke through clenched teeth,

"Why should I tell you?" I responded, trying to keep calm,

"He is MY son. He will come home or else I'll-"

"You'll what." I interrupted, clenching my fists, this man really knew how to make me mad.

"HE IS MY SON, MY PROPERTY. YOU TELL ME WHERE HE IS. LAST. CHANCE."

"He is MY Boyfirend And NOBODYS PROPERTY!" I yelled back,

He clenched his fists even more, looking at me like he wanted me dead,

He probably did.

And then.

He hit me.

Really hard.

He punched my chest, causing me to fall backwards into the wall, and then stormed into my house and up the stairs,

I forced myself to stand up and go after him,

I couldn't give up, I couldn't ever give up again. I had to keep Xingqiu safe.

I ran up the stairs after him and when I got to my room he was already there, holding Xingqiu's wrist and screaming at him,

Xingqiu was just sitting there silently, tears falling down his cheeks, but his face looked... numb...

That was my last straw.

Everything went black.

Before I could think I picked up the first thing I could get hold of and tried to smash it around his head...

But he caught my hand.

He grabbed the item and hit me again...

This time.. much harder...

I fell to the floor, I couldn't see anything, I just lay there, silent and unmoving,

"CHONGYUN!!" Xingqiu screamed, his voice was shaking, all I could do was feel the overwhelming pain as blood was pooling around me, I could taste it too... the metallic taste of my own blood in my throat, all I could hear were Xingqiu's cries and a loud ringing noise...

And then nothing.
