Feiyu x Yunxi

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu could only hear the voices of the men in his head, which left no room for him to process Yunxi's footsteps or words when the omega approached him again. He could feel the tightening of his chest while he desperately tried to catch his breath. Just like he was trapped in that small, pitch-black enclosed space again, Feiyu could tell the air around him was becoming thinner, which only meant that his time was limited. Tear after tear was squeezed from his eyes as he opened and closed them, rocking on the balls of his feet while trying to buy himself some more time from this unshakeable feeling of doom that laid over him, enveloping him entirely. He had not cried in a long time, but his sobs were cracked and pained, each one getting more drawn out than the last. At some point, Feiyu thought he saw some feet in front of him, which only aggravated him even more, draining the blood out of his cheeks. The grim reapers were here for him.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Yunxi was only planning on catching his breath before he hiked back out to the entrance, which really wasn't far at all, when he heard a cry from the path. He listened for a second, his expression twisting into disbelief. Was that Chen Feiyu for real? After weeks of tormenting Yunxi and laughing whenever Yunxi inadvertently teared up, he was crying now just because... what? Yunxi shook his head and continued his trek back in the direction of the entrance, being careful to stay off the path until he was certain he passed Feiyu's position, but when he heard another wail, he could't help but freeze again. It sounded extremely pitiful, almost like a child's cry, and it anchored Yunxi to the trail by the pit of his stomach. No matter how horrible Feiyu had been, it didn't feel like Yunxi could stoop to that same level, no matter how far his wishful thinking carried him sometimes.

During their dinner, Yunxi had figured he was going to screw the lease and just leave the county, laying low until Feiyu forgot about him, but inexplicably, his feet brought him back to Feiyu. The younger was crouched in the exact same spot Yunxi left him, and even when Yunxi crept close and the dirt crackled beneath his feet, Feiyu didn't look up. "Hey," Yunxi said, bending slightly to try and peer at him, wary that it was a trick. "What's wrong with you...?"

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu’s heart rate was increasing even without the help of the incline on their hiking trail. Yunxi’s figure seemed to only get smaller and smaller in front of him, all the way until the omega disappeared altogether. Feiyu had been so fixated on Yunxi that by the time he looked around, he suddenly felt like he was stuck in a black hole with walls that looked the same no matter which way he turned. There were tall trees hanging above him, obscuring the sky’s light. He turned a few more times, and when the shortness of breath caught up to him, Feiyu’s legs went out and he collapsed onto the floor. A series of voices flooded his head, and he clutched his legs to his chest, curling up in a little ball as the blackness swarmed around him, threatening to drag him down completely into the void. “No-” he cried out, his usual deep voice shaking as he began to cry on reflex, “No! Don’t!”

@☭ Chen Feiyu When Feiyu asked for Yunxi to wait up, Yunxi sped up. When Feiyu asked him not to go too far, Yunxi searched for the path that would take them deepest into the forest. When Feiyu asked for them to stay on the path, Yunxi took the first opportunity to jump off the path and slip into the woods. His shoes caught on the branches and under shrub littering the forest floor, but he didn't stop running until he was a decent way from the trail, his back pressed against the body of a thick tree trunk to obscure himself from Feiyu. He listened for steps, or even for Feiyu calling for him, but when all that he picked up on was silence, his heart calmed—freedom was close by.

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu really wanted to insist that they go somewhere else, anywhere else, to take the walk that Yunxi wanted. He didn't quite get the fixation with a hiking trail specifically, but it seemed that Yunxi decided to be stubborn in this moment. And while Feiyu hesitated once more, he truly had been thinking about ways to get on Yunxi's good side. If this was one of the only ways...then he supposed... "Hey wait up!" he called out, seeing that Yunxi had already taken off without him. He jogged to catch up, and then walked with his shoulder pressed right against the omega's, "I'm coming...but don't go far, okay?" He didn't think that had to be said, since it was purely dangerous to be hiking /at night/ to begin with, but he never knew what was on Yunxi's mind when it came to things like this. "And make sure we stay on the path..." he said, his voice starting to shake again.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Feiyu's resistance only made Yunxi want it more, whether he was going to merely run away or he was going to kill Feiyu in there. Did Feiyu realize what Yunxi was thinking of? Either way, since Feiyu didn't want to go, Yunxi was going to use it to his advantage. On top of that, he was determined to do just about the opposite of anything Feiyu wanted him to do. "I don't like it when it's bright," he said bluntly, gesturing to the Yubeng hiking trail again. "I want to go in there. Are you coming or not?"

@☭ Luo Yunxi Of all the things that they could've possibly done next, how did Yunxi come to the conclusion that taking a walk in what was basically an abandoned woods a good idea? Feiyu hesitated as he saw where Yunxi's finger was pointing, and it seemed like roots had grown from under his feet, keeping him in place without any chance of taking another step forward. "You want to take a walk right?" he asked, his voice shaking as he looked around "How about we go over there?" he asked, pointing over to the streets where there were bright street lights above them, "We can even walk under those trees, just the same thing! It doesn't have to be in the dark over there."

@☭ Chen Feiyu How many times was Feiyu going to ask Yunxi what he wanted to do? When was Feiyu going to learn whatever Feiyu wanted, Yunxi wanted the opposite? He stopped walking, although he didn't turn to face Feiyu yet. They were at one end of the festival, and just across the street was the entrance to the Yubeng hiking trail. Named for the village that was nestled in a valley in Yunnan, this trail in Beijing featured a steep gorge that Yunxi could shove Feiyu over, even if there was a railing in his way. Even if he couldn't kill Feiyu in there, it was dark enough on the path without any lights installed that Yunxi could slip away. He pointed to the trail entrance. "There. Let's go in there."

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu thought that Yunxi would've tapped out after the second stall, but the older managed to hold out until they got to their fourth stop, which was a crispy burger stall. Feiyu was also getting pretty full himself, so he finished up the rest of his burger and the lemon tea that came with it before putting all the wrappers in the trash. "I'm full too," he announced. Though they had already spent a good chunk of the evening together, Yunxi still wasn't showing any signs of wanting to open up. Perhaps it would be best for Feiyu to cater to Yunxi's wants that night, to at least make some progress. "What should we do next?" he asked, "You decide. Let's walk around or play games or something."

@☭ Chen Feiyu Thankfully, Feiyu /finally/ got a hint and shut up. Yunxi wasn't one to turn down free food—think of it was compensation for everything Feiyu put him through, even though it wasn't nearly enough to make up for it, of course. Yunxi ate most of what Feiyu handed him, and it didn't take long for Yunxi to fill up. Once he threw away the wrapper from his crispy burger, he turned to find Feiyu looking at another stall. "I'm full," Yunxi said, wiping his hands clean as well. "I don't want any more. Really."

@☭ Luo Yunxi As Feiyu had told Yunxi earlier, the festival wasn't as busy as it'd normally would be, which also meant that they would receive their food faster than usual. Once they had their skewers in hand, Feiyu watched from the corner of his eye as Yunxi scrutinized the meat on the stick, then ate it wordlessly. He smirked behind the older, knowing fully well that Yunxi would say one thing but feel the opposite. It was through his very meticulous observation of the other that he had learned this about Yunxi. Feiyu made quick work of his own skewers, as he had not had any food since an early lunch that day. They continued to walk, though Feiyu didn't let Yunxi wander far without him. Since the omega was being stubborn and refused to choose, Feiyu pulled him to another stall next, one of which boasted different types of fried foods. Without asking Yunxi, he stepped up to the cashier to place an order of popcorn chicken and a hot milk tea for Yunxi. At least it'd keep the younger's stomach warm, even if he insisted that he didn't want anything.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Yunxi didn't want any more freaking protein. He trudged along with Feiyu to their first stop, watching with a glazed-over expression as Feiyu ordered. "I already told you, I don't care," he said, frustration creeping into his voice when Feiyu tried to ask him what he wanted again. Yunxi wanted to go home, and he wanted Feiyu to be hit by a car to get this horrid boy out of his life. "You can get whatever you want." Their skewers ready, and since the stall owner did nothing to insult Yunxi, he reached out to receive them. The fragrance was mouth-watering, the fat on the meat bubbling from the oil, making Yunxi realize he was a little hungry after all. Picking out a beef skewer from the bunch, he nibbled at it from the tip, ignoring Feiyu's presence beside him as if he had come here alone.

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu reminded himself that small steps in winning Yunxi over. It was already a plus that his jacket was not rejected by the smaller, and so he took the lead in deciding their first stall. "Let's get skewers," he said, "You're so skinny, you definitely need more protein." Bringing Yunxi over by his shoulders to the little stall, Feiyu ordered two beef skewers for each of them, and then an extra chicken one for himself. He wouldn't want to stuff Yunxi all in their first stop, and knowing how small the other's appetite was, there was no need to go all out here. He paid with a tap of his phone, then looked around, "Want something to drink? Soup? Or tea? I'll get it for you."

@☭ Chen Feiyu Yunxi wanted to fling the coat onto the ground and grind it into the dirt, but when another breeze lifted his hair, he slipped his arms into the jacket, crossing his arms over his chest to block the wind from entering. He was swathed in Feiyu's scent, and anyone they walked by would think Yunxi belonged to Feiyu. Knowing that, Yunxi almost shed the coat again, but decided against it when he realized how well the down jacket trapped heat around him. "Eat whatever," he said, slipping into the crowd again in hopes of losing Feiyu. "I don't care. I'm not very hungry."

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu couldn't understand what it was about the headstrong omega that was so alluring to him. Even though Yunxi was probably trying to make a point by stomping away from Feiyu without having broken out of his sleepy stupor yet, Feiyu wasn't angered by the older's pointedness. Instead, he followed after Yunxi with a little bounce in his step, calling out to Yunxi to wait up. Yunxi was so thin that he could be almost described as frail-looking. On top of that, his shoulders were so narrow, and when he trembled from the cold, it was quite obvious. Feiyu knew a thing or two about wooing omegas, so once he caught up, he peeled his jacket off himself, wrapping it swiftly over Yunxi's shoulders, "Put this on, so you don't get sick," he said casually, then looking around, "What should we eat?"

@☭ Chen Feiyu When Yunxi closed his eyes, it was dark, and when he opened them again, it was still dark. He had no idea how long he slept for, but at least, he thought, his clothes were still on. Pulling his hand from Feiyu's, he rubbed his eyes and tried the door, kicking it open when the door lifted too slow for his liking. At least if they were out and about, Feiyu also couldn't try anything, although the 'first' Feiyu tacked on at the end of his sentence was worrying Yunxi. Without waiting for Feiyu, Yunxi began to walk toward the festival set up in the distance, his shoulders caving forward when a gust of wind blew. As he had warned Feiyu, it was cold. His footsteps quickened, hoping that there would be some kind of warmth where all those vendors were cooking.

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu was pleasantly surprised to feel Yunxi's small, cool hand over his own. While the omega was timid and didn't want to hold on tight, that didn't stop Feiyu from wrapping his fingers over the older's hand in a gentle grip. Like a couple going on a leisurely cruise down the highway, they didn't need to have much conversation between them. Feiyu, at least, was content with simply having Yunxi's presence. He had peeked over at the omega at some point, noticing that Yunxi seemed to have fallen asleep. Since the older looked peaceful, Feiyu didn't wake up, and instead, quietly rolled up the windows. That would keep the noisy wind out of Yunxi's ears, at least. When they arrived at the festival almost an hour later, he gave Yunxi's hand a squeeze, then followed by a few shakes, "Wake up, we're here. Are you hungry?" he asked, "You didn't eat dinner yet, so let's go get something for you to eat first."

@☭ Chen Feiyu Just after Yunxi pointed out it was cold outside, Feiyu rolled down the window. He /had/ to be doing it on purpose at this point. Yunxi glanced at the hand Feiyu offered him. The last thing he wanted to do was take it, but in the end, whatever Yunxi resisted doing, Feiyu just ended up Commanding him to do anyway. There was nothing worse than that horrible tug in his stomach from being Commanded, so Yunxi reached out to crank the heat up before putting his hand in Feiyu's, simply resting his hand limply rather than close his fingers between Feiyu's. With the warm hair blowing in his face now, Yunxi wasn't feeling so tense anymore. He closed his eyes, figuring Feiyu wouldn't try anything while they were in the car even if Yunxi was asleep.

@☭ Luo Yunxi For a homebody like Yunxi, going to a festival was probably a new, and probably daunting experience for him. Feiyu tried not to retort back at the omega's cattiness, and instead revved up his engine, taking them out of their busy town. He rolled the windows down as he drove, wanting to feel the cool air in his face. "Are you cold?" he asked Yunxi once they were clearing down the highway without any other cars in their vicinity. He held a hand out over the center console, offering it to the older, "Take my hand if you are. I'll keep you warm." Car rides were a great way to be romantic without making it too obvious. Surely this was a good opportunity to win Yunxi's heart over.

@☭ Chen Feiyu For once, Yunxi /wanted/ it to be crowded so that he could lose Feiyu in the crowd. He had nothing of value left behind in his apartment—nothing that he wouldn’t give up for in exchange for his freedom, anyway. The corners of his lips twitched downward when Feiyu gestured for him to get into that terribly loud beast of a car again. Yunxi slid in, but he didn’t bother with a seatbelt, since his wishful thinking dictated that in the event of a collision, Yunxi would rather be thrown out the windshield than stay in the same space as Feiyu. “It’s cold, why would there be a festival,” he pointed out quietly, just so Feiyu could reflect on how stupid his idea was. “Of course it wouldn’t be crowded there. All the smart people are staying indoors, that’s why.”

@☭ Luo Yunxi Yunxi was very robotic, but at least he wasn't putting up a fight anymore. Feiyu followed behind the older as they got to the elevator. Yunxi had yet to ask where Feiyu was taking him, but that didn't stop him from volunteering up the information on his own. "Since you weren't a big fan of the hotel rooftop lounge I took you to last time, I thought we'd go somewhere a little more...down to earth for our dinner date tonight," Feiyu said, pressing the elevator button for the ground floor once they got inside their lift. "There's a festival happening across town, so let's go there tonight," he said, "We can eat and walk around there." He had hoped that this idea would earn him at least a little smile from Yunxi, but when he was met with silence, Feiyu huffed softly, "It's not going to be super crowded, don't worry." He led Yunxi down to the garage where he parked his car again, opening the door for the older to get in.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Feiyu was spilling out Commands like they didn't cost anything. Yunxi wondered if he was even aware he was doing it—or maybe they weren't Commands, and something else was going on inside Yunxi. He only sat still for another two seconds before he rose again to grab his coat, which he'd slung over the back of his couch when he returned from work less than an hour ago. The weather was getting cool, and Feiyu wanted to run around outside. He picked up his phone before heading out the door, locking it behind him and walking to the elevator without a glance toward Feiyu. He had no interest in knowing where they were going, only wanting to get over with it as soon as possible so that he could come home sooner.

@☭ Luo Yunxi As much as Feiyu wanted to be an optimist and believe that one of these days, Yunxi would open the door for him with a smile on the face, it was as plain as day to him that the older was not in the best mood. In fact, he seemed stuck in the same monotonous loop of trying to tell Feiyu off until their clothes were on the ground, to which a few tears would slide down his face, but Yunxi would remain impassive otherwise. There had to be some way to his heart, and since Feiyu found himself serious about courting this omega, he strained himself to find that solution. That night, instead of staying indoors, he had the idea to take Yunxi out instead. When the omega opened the door for him, Feiyu leaned against the door frame, calling out to Yunxi's back, "I see you're dressed already. Grab a coat and let's go out. I want to take you out to get some fresh air."

@☭ Chen Feiyu For the next month, it was as if Yunxi was trapped in a nightmare. Feiyu showed up nearly every day, and the moment Yunxi resisted at any step of the way, Feiyu simply Commanded him to obey. Yunxi's nights were often plagued with terrors, leaving him exhausted at work, and on top of it all, he had to 'entertain' Feiyu, too. He wasn't even sure what was keeping him going—every time Feiyu showed up at his door, Yunxi wanted to drop dead. His body didn't feel like his own anymore, and Feiyu consumed every part of his life, leaving him no time to think of his escape plan. When Feiyu showed up again for what was possibly the thirtieth time that month, Yunxi opened the door without a word of protest. He hadn't prepared dinner that day, not wanting to feed Feiyu anymore and prolong his time in the apartment. Leaving the door open, he returned to his couch, intending on working until Feiyu decided to do whatever he came to do.

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu had been pushing off leaving since before dinner, so when Yunxi asked for the nth time that night for him to give him space, Feiyu finally relented. He held the older down with a hand over his chest as he pulled out of Yunxi, grabbing a few tissues off the coffee table to wipe himself off. "Go shower," Feiyu said, "And stop moping around. I'll get going now." He dressed himself again and washed his hands in the kitchen sink. "See you soon," he said to Yunxi, though they both knew that it was more of a warning than a bid farewell.

There was something about Yunxi's scent and the tightness of his heat wrapped around Feiyu's that just kept the younger coming back for more. While he did try to give Yunxi space, it would only last for about two or three days each time before Feiyu inevitably returned, and their cycle of give and take would repeat itself all over again.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Feiyu's idea of 'nice' seriously needed to be revisited by a psychologist. Yunxi took a trembling breath, reaching up to pull Feiyu's hand away from his face. He needed to leave, no matter how he did it, but Feiyu's looming threat of coming back to him with a lawyer really put a damper on Yunxi's plans. For now, he nodded meekly—he just had to make sure he didn't rouse Feiyu's suspicion, because it was clear Feiyu wasn't going to let him go easily. "I want to shower," he said, his voice hoarse and strained, signalling for Feiyu to remove himself. He tried not to think too much about the softening length still stuck inside him, nor the thick release trapped in what felt like his stomach, only hoping Feiyu would let him go now that he'd gotten what he came for. Although Feiyu had removed his hand already, Yunxi still felt their weight crushing his neck. "Please."

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu saw the tears coming from Yunxi. To him, they were tears of submission. Yunxi finally realized how futile his efforts to play hard to get was, and he was going through the growing pains of learning how to be more approachable. As Feiyu rode out the rest of his , he reached out to thumb away the tears in Yunxi's eyes, "I wanted to be nice to you," he reminded the older, "But you kept pushing me until I had no choice to do that to you." He tilted Yunxi's chin back up, locking their gazes once again, "Don't think about leaving. Just stay here and live your life as you normally do. All I want to do is look out for you and get to know you better, okay?" He waited, holding himself still as he stared at Yunxi, expecting an answer.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Yunxi almost choked on his first breath of air, although he was beginning to think he should've just let Feiyu knock him out so he wouldn't have to face any of this. Without his seizing lungs to distract him, the pain of Feiyu picking up the pace and slamming into him came front and centre. He tensed when his stomach expanded with warmth, but it wasn't because of his own release. No, it was far from it. Yunxi's stomach tightened, and his bottom clenched in a futile attempt to push Feiyu's release out of him. His heat had only lifted days ago. He raised his hand, wanting to push at Feiyu's stomach. Instead, it came up to his eyes, naturally, and when Yunxi drew his hand away from his cheeks, he realized they had been wet. Blinking tears out of his eyes, Yunxi turned his head away, a choked sob escaping him. It had happened again. How many times more times would it happen before Feiyu finally decided to move on?

@☭ Luo Yunxi Feiyu watched Yunxi's struggle coldly, not even an eyelash batting when he saw the other's fingers go limp against his arm. He wanted to be the kind and caring alpha towards Yunxi that he deserved as an omega, but Yunxi had rejected him. Yunxi instead asked for the alpha within him that would use brute force to take anything it was that he wanted, even if it played with Yunxi's life like he was but a mere ant that could burn with the shift of the huge magnifying glasses lens above him. Feiyu squinted when he saw Yunxi's lips twitching, and the little moan was a sign that the omega had succumbed. He released the pressure of his grip, though not entirely, as he pulled Yunxi up by his neck, "Stop making things hard on yourself. I've already warned you," he said, tossing Yunxi back onto the couch and releasing his grip on the older. That wasn't a sign that Yunxi could run off now, no, Feiyu now had both his hands again, and he gripped onto Yunxi's thighs, ramming even harder into him as he found his rhythm and soon was releasing a thick load deep into the younger's abused hole.

@☭ Chen Feiyu Yunxi's hand flew up to his Feiyu's hand, clawing at his wrist when he found that he could not take a breath. He imagined his strength was only a fraction of what Feiyu could give him return, and eventually, through his strangled gasps, his fingers fell lax around Feiyu's wrist, where he only continued holding on just for the sake of holding onto something. He had exhausted his strength by then, and all he could do was hope that Feiyu finished sooner so Yunxi could be left alone with his shame that he let all these horrible things happen to him. At least, that was what he wished to happen—Feiyu's hand around his neck and his lack of air was making everything much worse. Yunxi moaned softly, trying to tug at his hand again as his lips formed silent words.
