A/N: WARNING! THERE IS A LIME!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
He Tian was speechless. He knew the other one was drunk, but he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"He Tian." He said his name so slow that it sent shivers down his spine. His voice was also closer than before. "Kiss me." He commanded.
"You are drunk, Redhead, go back to sleep." He Tian said and turned around, realizing the smaller one was right behind him, and now right in front of him. The black haired boy took his cellphone and opened the camera, pointing the device to the drunkard's face. "Say it again."
"You know." He chuckled. "You kept saying my name like that, it seemed like you were trying to seduce me." He Tian gulped. "It worked. I want you to kiss me, He Tian." Guan Shan took his time saying his name. "Like the first time."
'Blackmail material.' He Tian thought, slapping himself mentally afterwards. 'You promised you wouldn't be a jerk.' He decided to not use the video, but not delete it either.
"Please."
That was the last straw. Guan Shan was already clinging into He Tian's shirt, licking his own lips with that lewd expression. He Tian grabbed his chin with one hand, and pressed his waist with the other, looking deeply into those coppery eyes.
Redhead's mouth was half opened, so upon touching their lips, He Tian slid his tongue inside. And Guan Shan kissed him back. Redhead didn't fight for dominance, though; he was totally at He Tian's mercy, so the black haired boy did as he pleased. He kissed Guan Shan like he was the most delicious dish he had ever tasted, and he was indeed.
But when He Tian heard Guan Shan moaning seductively on his lips, noticing his mouth wasn't the only part of his body enjoying the kiss, he pushed Redhead with all his might.
"Why did you stop?" Redhead asked panting. His lips were lightly swollen and his hands were tracing He Tian's chest, going down the happy trail.
He Tian didn't answer. He gripped the boy's wrist before he could reach his crotch and dragged him through the apartment, throwing him on the bed. He covered Redhead with all the blankets and comforters he had, running right to the bathroom, the only room with a door. He closed and locked it, sitting on the floor, closing and opening his fists, whispering to himself.
"Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down." Like a mantra.
"Let me help you, He Tian." That lustful tone was driving him crazy. 'A taste of my own medicine. Drunken Redhead is damn smart.' He thought.
"Go back to bed, Redhead." He said dryly.
"I want to do it."
"YOU DON'T!" He Tian snapped. "YOU ARE DRUNK AND YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET IT TOMORROW!"
"You don't want me?" His voice sounded disappointed.
"Of course I do, damn it!" He Tian said hurt, thinking on how it seemed some sort of test. "But I want you sober, Redhead. I don't want you to hate me; I want you to like me. Go back to bed, please." He begged. "I can't let myself hurt you anymore."
"I'm hard."
"Jerk off, do what you need to do, but don't make me leave this place until you're gone. Please, Redhead, or else I won't be able to hold back anymore."
He Tian thought he would be fine, until he heard Guan Shan panting. 'You are not doing this right in front of the door, are you?' He thought. And then Redhead started moaning and purring. It began as incoherent sounds, but soon He Tian could understand what he was whining.
"H-he T-tian." It was his name.
His short nails dug into his palms, He Tian was doing what he could to ignore Guan Shan's moans, focusing solely on the pain.
But it wasn't working. His member was rock hard inside his pants, no hints of calming down any soon. He huffed deeply and took both of his pants and underwear off, palming his erection right after. If it was not going to calm down on its own, he would make it calm down forcefully.

Jian Yi was dreaming peacefully when his cellphone e-mail alert woke him up. He looked the time, seeing it was ten in the morning, and opened the e-mail, reading. "Hello, big brother. I want to talk to you. Meet me at 11:00, at the Liu Café." He looked at the mail address, a mail he didn't know. But it had 'Zhan' on it, so it was probably someone he knew, like little sister.
He took a quick shower and put on some warm clothes, he could sense it was cold outside. Jian Yi left his apartment and went to the Café walking. After thirty minutes he was there. He sat at a table near the window and waited. It was eleven sharp when the brunette girl stepped inside the place.
"Good morning, Jian Yi." She spitted.
"Sour as always, little sister. Want a Frappuccino? Maybe its sweetness will soften that bitter expression of yours."
"I don't want anything that comes from you."
"Then tell me why did you woke me up early on a Sunday, little girl."
"I want you to stay away from my brother."
"May I ask why?"
"Because you only hurt him." She was angry. "My brother wasn't a punk, you know? Thanks to you the only thing he's gaining are scars, a lot of them."
"I'm sorry little sister." Jian Yi said upset, it was almost like the girl knew that was his very weakness. "You don't need to tell me the things I already know." He confessed. "Did you really think I wasn't aware of it?"
"I." Her eyes widened. "Why don't you let him go?"
"Zhan Xixi saved me, little sister. You wouldn't understand what your brother had done for me over all those years."
"That's why you SHOULD let him go, Jian Yi!" She slapped her hands on the table. "It's your turn to save him, to protect him."
"I'm still weak, little sister, and even if I stay away from him, they already know he's the only thing I care for."
"Your answer is no?"
"I'm sorry." He apologized again. "I can't do what you're asking me."
"You know that you just earned an enemy for life, right?"
"We should try to get along, for Zhan Xixi's sake." He took a sip of his tea. "Don't you agree?"
"I don't. I'm going home." She prepared to leave, when a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Tell me your name, I am your brother's best friend, after all."
"Let me go, pervert!" She slapped his hand and left the Café.
"I already know it anyway, Zhan Zi Xi." He giggled. "I know you're going to be a hard one to deal, but I could get through Zhan Xixi's heart, right? It will be hard, but not impossible."

When Guan Shan woke up, he was laying on He Tian's bed. He looked around and saw the black haired boy sleeping all weird on the couch. His head hurt like hell, so it took a little time for him to realize there were a pill and a glass of water sitting on the nightstand. He drank it and stood up, making the bed afterwards. As he walked to the kitchen, he noticed He Tian waking up.
"Good morning." The black haired guy mumbled. "How's your head?" He stretched his body and yawned.
"Aching. What do you want for breakfast?"
"Anything is fine."
There was a long awkward pause, when both of the guys remained silent. Redhead had his hands resting on the counter, and He Tian looked to his right, through the big windows of his loft.
"He Tian." Guan Shan broke the silence; it seemed he was skating on thin ice. "What happened yesterday?"
"Are you sure you want me to keep my promise and be a hundred percent honest with you?"
"Yes."
"I kissed you."
"Did I let you?"
"You asked me to do it."
"I'm sorry." He sighed. "I troubled you, I'm sorry."
"You are not going to say it was impossible for you to ask me something like that?"
"I actually do trust you, He Tian." He huffed lightly. "Anything else happened?"
"You won't like it."
"Go ahead." He said as he grabbed a mug on the cupboard.
"You said you wanted to have sex with me." The moment He Tian said sex, a cracking noise was heard. "Are you ok?"
"Shit, yes. I'll pay for the mug." He answered while knelling down, catching the mug pieces.

"Excuse me." The brunette girl was stopped for the second time this morning.
"What do you want?" Her mood was reaching its worse.
"My name is Xiao Hui." The black haired girl said.
"Are you the girl that likes my brother?" Zhan Zi Xi looked to the other girl, smiling openly.
"Even you know?" Xiao Hui sighed. "Well, it actually makes things easier."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't like Jian Yi. Do you like him?"
"Not even a little."
"That's wonderful." The older girl smiled openly. "I want to make them break up."
"The school knows they are dating?"
"Of course not, I have my means to find things out."
"You want my help?"
"Exactly, little sister. What's your name?"
"Zi Xi, Zhan Zi Xi."
"I know a guy that likes Jian Yi. I want to help him."
"Do you know if the blond pervert can let my brother go if this guy puts his hands on him?"
"Of course! That guy is a really sweet person, Jian Yi will fall for him in no time."
"Is he strong?"
"Does it matter?"
"It does."
"Yes. Stronger than Zhan Zheng Xi."
"Good." Zi Xi smiled. "I'm going to help you."

"We need to go shop for groceries." Guan Shan said after they finished their breakfast. Everything was back to normal. "You really only buy things when I'm with you?"
"What can I do, Mo Guan Shan?" Fourteenth. "You are the one who knows what we need to buy, not me." He smiled playfully.
"How did you survive up until now, seriously?" Redhead asked.
"Who knows?" He Tian shrugged. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" He shouted when he saw Guan Shan opening the door.
"Going out?"
"Wait for me, will you? Let me get my wallet."
He Tian got his things and walked out of the apartment, being followed by Guan Shan. They took the elevator and left the building, heading to the closest market they could find. Coincidence or not, but the closest one was the same He Tian came across Guan Shan for the very first time, few weeks prior.
As they entered, Redhead got a basket, and gave He Tian another one. They walked through the aisles side by side, Guan Shan arguing with He Tian when he wanted to buy some useless stuff. When Redhead went to the cashier, the black haired vanished for a few seconds, coming back with his usual smirk.
Guan Shan emptied his basket and told He Tian to do the same with his, as he was putting the items on plastic bags. After the black haired boy emptied his own basket, Redhead looked up, seeing a very red cashier. He looked puzzled to He Tian, which carried that freaking smile on his lips. And then he looked to the cashier hands.
"He Tian." He said slowly, almost threatening. "What are those?"
"A box of condoms and lube, Mo Guan Shan." Fifteenth. "Are you that innocent?"
"Why are you buying those, He Tian?" Guan Shan could feel the veins on his forehead popping out, and his eyebrows furrow even deeper.
"Sometimes a man has a need, you know?" He took his wallet. "Here, keep the change." The cashier took the money and looked down, giggling lightly.
"You call, eh, you know." Guan Shan stuttered as they left the market.
"Hookers?" Redhead nodded. "Sometimes." He Tian teased.
Guan Shan shrugged nonchalant, but deep inside he was a chaos. He didn't understand why that smirk in He Tian's face pissed him so much, or why the fact that the other boy had a habit of calling prostitutes made him feel so uncomfortable. At the end, he decided to just forget it, shaking his head fiercely.
The only thing Guan Shan didn't notice, was that He Tian was bugging him.
"Is something wrong, Redhead? You've been quiet all the way." He Tian asked while unlocking the door, letting Redhead enter the apartment first.
"I'm fine. You're the one who usually talks to me, you were quiet, I was quiet."
"I see. Do you need help with those?" He pointed at all the bags on the counter.
"No, thanks. I'm going to be the one using it, so I better put those away, or else I'll be lost on your kitchen. Like the first time." He chuckled. "No hard feelings. By the way..."
"Yeah?"
"You'll want me to stay up until dinner, or it'll be fine if I leave at lunch? I can wrap the lunch's leftovers, so you can heat it at night."
"You have something to do?"
"I just don't like leaving my mother alone for too much time. I can never know when they will try something."
"You paid them this week?"
"I did, but it is getting harder. They noticed I've been managing to pay every week, so they raised the interest even more."
"Damn leeches." He Tian was pissed. "There isn't anything I can do to help you?"
"You are already helping by giving me this job. You don't need to do anything else."
"But I want to. The amount of money I give you is nothing compared to what I receive monthly. I can give you a raise if you want."
"Don't do that, He Tian. That's my problem, not yours."
"I know that, but they are loan sharks. They will increase the interests forever, and you'll never be able to pay them off."
"Let's do this way. If you manage to think of something that will solve it forever, then you tell me, ok? However, while you don't have a solution, we won't talk about it."
"I need to know their mark to think of such plan. There are three groups controlling loan sharks in this city, we just need to find out which one is threatening your family."
"How it will solve it?"
"It won't." He Tian messed his hair. "But it is always good to know who we are dealing with."
---
"She Li, I got you some amazing news."
"Spill it out."
"I got an ally. Before you bitch about anything, I didn't tell her about you or Mr. He."
"Who's that ally?"
"She hates Jian Yi. I talked to her a lot today. I convinced her to pretend she liked Jian Yi, so she could give us information about him."
"You didn't answer me."
"Zhan Zi Xi. Zhan Zheng Xi's younger sister herself."
"She'll act like a spy, then?"
"Exactly! Things are going to be way easier from now on."
"I'm going to give He Qiang the good news."
"Don't you dare, She Li."
"Why?"
"I don't want her to get involved with Mr. He, she's too young, and she doesn't have a clue about the real reason I want her help. She just thinks I want to make her brother and Jian Yi break up."
"Why did you tell me, if you didn't want him to know it?"
"I needed to share it with someone." She laughed. "Now I'll get going, I have some stalking to do!"
At the other side of the line, She Li smirked. Xiao Hui didn't know He Qiang was right beside him, hearing every single word of their conversation.
"Zhan Zheng Xi's sister, huh."
