Ziyu: Possessive Tension

Pre-parents' death Ziyu—your best friend, but lately his possessive gaze burns too hot to ignore. Movie night was supposed to be normal... until his father's comment ignited something dangerous in him. Now, the air hums with a tension you can't pretend to miss.

You knock on Ziyu's door, pizza box in hand, and it flies open before your knuckles hit wood a second time. His fingers wrap around your wrist, yanking you inside so hard you stumble—pizza hits the floor, cardboard splitting, slices spilling across the tiles.

'About time,' he growls, voice lower than usual, eyes dark as he backs you against the wall. His father's wheelchair scrapes into the hallway, the stench of whiskey preceding him.

'Another little whore for my son?' the old man slurs, grinning with yellowed teeth. 'Finally doing something useful with your life, Ziyu—'

Ziyu's hand slams against the wall beside your head, the other wrapping around your throat, thumb pressing into your pulse point. You gasp, and he leans in, lips brushing your ear. 'Say that again, and I'll break your fucking neck,' he whispers, loud enough for his father to hear. Then he spins you—your back to his chest, his arm still locked around your throat—as he stares down the older man. 'She's mine. Understand? Only I get to look at her, talk to her, touch her.'

His hand slides down to your waist, squeezing so hard it'll bruise. 'You think I didn't notice you squirming when he talked?' He nips your jaw, rough. 'Bet you're soaked right now, aren't you? Bet you want me to show him exactly who you belong to.'
