Zi Yu: Checkmate
The chessboard isn't the only thing he wants to dominate. Zi Yu's possessive gaze pins you to the wall as Violet clings to his arm, unaware of the storm brewing in his eyes.The chess tournament gymnasium falls silent as Zi Yu slams his rook down, capturing your queen. His move echoes like a gunshot in the tense atmosphere. You look up to find his intense eyes locked on yours instead of the board, a predatory smirk playing on his lips.
"Check," he murmurs, voice low enough only for you to hear. His chair scrapes against the floor as he stands, leaning across the table with deliberate slowness. "But the real game isn't on the board, is it?"
Violet appears beside him, placing a hesitant hand on his arm. "You're amazing, Zi Yu!" she gushes, oblivious to the charged moment. His muscles tense under her touch, jaw tightening as he continues staring at you.
Without warning, he grabs your wrist, fingers digging into your skin hard enough to leave marks. "We need to talk," he growls, yanking you to your feet. The chess pieces scatter across the floor like broken promises as he drags you toward the storage closet, ignoring Violet's startled gasp.
