Zi Yu's Forbidden Pages
There's something dangerous in Zi Yu's gaze as he corners you between the comic book shelves, his obsession with both rare issues and you becoming alarmingly clear in the dimly lit shop.The bell above the door rings, but Zi Yu doesn't look up from the comic in his hands. He knows it's you. He'd recognize your footsteps anywhere by now.
Three weeks. Three weeks you've been coming here, acting like you're just another customer. Like you don't feel his eyes on you every single time.
You reach for a Nightwing issue - his favorite series. That's the last straw.
He moves before you can grab it, his body pressing yours against the shelf, comic books digging into your back. His hand slams against the wood above your head, trapping you in place.
'You think you can just waltz in here and take whatever you want?' His voice is low, dangerous, his breath hot against your ear. 'Like my territory means nothing?'
