It's all Neal can hear now. He felt like his heart is going to explode. Is this the feeling when a normal person meet a mob? He doesn't know. He was breathing hard. His nails dug into his palms as he fisted them.
Hunter's cold eyes scanned Neal up and down and moved forward causing Neal to step back. The back of his thighs touched the armrest of the couch. Neal startled from the sudden contact, he let out a squeal before falling back. But before he fall Hunter caught his left arm and pulled Neal to his chest.
Neal's eyes widened from the closeness. Their faces were inches apart. If he isn't wrong, the man's heart is beating like crazy just like his. He can feel it under his palm which rested on Hunter's left pec.
Being this close, Neal started to notice every single thing on the man's face. Hunter's thick black brows knitted together, his slightly parted red lips and the very small mole on the left side of h

Neal rubbed his cheeks with his palms. He is doing it since Hunter walked out of the room. Not only his face and ears are red as tomato but his whole body too. He felt so hot. A man kissed him. A man!Neal doesn't know what to feel. No one ever kissed him like that other than Erika. Neal wouldn't say he is straight because gender didn't matter to him. This is his first experience with a guy. It would be lie if he said he didn't felt tingly inside.Neal touched his lips thinking about Hunter's soft lips and sweet kiss he gave him. Although Neal feared the man, his presence and touch brought goosebumps all over his skin."This is what you need to do from now on. What did he meant by that? Should I kiss everyone in this house from now on? Isn't that sexual harassment?" Neal talked to himself.He looked at his watch, 6.15 pm."What the hell?" He is sitting there for hours and no one came to check upon him. He is hungry. He

16 months ago"Don't panic Hazel, stay calm. Please.." Hunter whispered as he squeezed his sister's hand as they neared to the labour room. Her face showed how much pain she is in. She gripped the edge of the stretcher with the other hand."Hunter..." She called out when the nurse said Hunter to wait outside. They stopped. Hunter leaned down to hear his sister whatever she is going to tell."If....If I don't make it, p-please give my child a normal life. I don't....i don't want my child to have a life we lived. I don't want these chaos in my baby's life, do you hear me?" She asked through pain but her voice was firm. Hunter's eyes welled up, but he blinked them back and nod with a hoarse 'yeah'."Promise me." She breathed out squeezing his hand."I promise. Don't worry." He said and squeezed her hand back. Hazel smiled at her little brother."Take care. I love you." She said with a smile."Lov

And now August is trying so hard to take care of his drunken friend."I'm ok..I think I need one more drink." Ryan slurred trying to get back inside the bar."You had enough." August scolded his friend dragging Ryan with him."I won't talk to you. W-Whenever we go out you only drink soda. IT'S NOT FAIR!!"

"If you can't do this my way, we can end the deal here." Hunter barked at the person on the other side of the phone, startling the individuals present in the room.They were in conference room. A huge rectangular table made of mahogany was placed in the middle of the room. Right side of the room was occupied by shelves with organized files.On the wall on the other side, hung a massive painting of a calm but fierce lion with sharp features. It was bright inside because of the numerous lights. The room was on the top floor so if you looked from there you could see the whole place. The cold gust of wind from the half opened window filled a comfortable chillness inside."I heard Boss kept that guy here?" Caleb queried quietly, leaning slightly to the side so Kaiden could hear him.Drake was engaged in a serious conversation with Oliver and Ian. Brad was organizing the files Jeong just handed him, and Kaiden was on his phone as usual.

A small yelp escaped Neal's mouth as soon as he exited the washroom. After Kaiden left the room leaving Neal to ponder on his words, Neal fell asleep. He just woke up, and now it was almost evening. He had gone to the bathroom to wash his face and when he returned, he found Hunter sitting on the bed. The black haired guy was leaning against the headboard of the bed. He had his left arm resting on his half bent left leg. A terror filled Neal's chest as he stared at the man with wide eyes. What the hell is he doing here? Hunter stared at the fidgeting guy in black tee and sweatpants. "Come. Sit." Hunter said softly, patting the place beside him. Come? Sit? I'm not a dog, Neal thought but didn't said out loud. He hesitantly walked towards the bed. What if he refused? The man will probably have his head in a platter. He held his breath and sat next

Boredom makes you do crazy things, like how Neal was counting the little bulbs on the chandelier. He was bored. There was nothing to entertain him and he is tired of staring at the walls and the forbidden door. He tried his best not to look at it, because that brought the memories of events happened yesterday.An odd tingles filled Neal's stomach when he remembered the things happened between him and Hunter. It was embarrassing. Neal pulled his hair with both hands urging himself to forget about that.He sighed and stood up from the sofa. Neal poured some water into the tall glass from the jug on the nightstand. The glass didn't touch his lips before―BANG!Neal dropped the glass at the startling sound and the it shattered on the floor, sending its pieces to all direction. Neal put his hand on his hammering chest, eyes wide.What the hell was that!? Gunshot?Neal gulped in fear and looked down at the mess.

Neal felt a little weight on him. He opened his drowsy eyes and the first thing he noticed is a mop of golden blonde resting on his chest. "AAAAHH!" He jumped and pushed the little frame off his body. The person let out a yelp before hitting the floor with a soft thud. Neal observed the person who sat there rubbing his butt. He looked like a high school boy. Small slender form, light skin, green eyes. He wore a red hoodie and denim jeans. Neal breathed in the new cologne on him. It smelt like oranges. The boy stood up with a frown in his glorious 5'5. "Why did you push me?" He asked with a pout, still rubbing his back. Neal scooted back, dragging the sheets with him. "Who...who are you? What are you doing here?" Neal wasn't afraid of a small boy. But, who knows if he has a weapon that could take his life in a blink of an eye. The boy's face lit up at that question as someone turned on a switch inside him. He thru

"Do you know what Rendell means?" Ricky asked and sit on the windowsill, opposite to other guy. Neal shook his head, no. "It means Wolf Shield." "Is that why they have tattoos of wolf?" Neal asked. He remembers the tattoos he saw on the arms of the males there. Ricky was surprised, "You saw them?" "Yeah." Neal shrugged, "Do you have those too?" Ricky smiled and turned around. He pulled down his t-shirt, exposing the tattoo on his nape. Neal leaned close to take a good look. It was a small tattoo of a wolf head with a few horizontal and perpendicular lines. The black ink actually looked good on Ricky's light slender neck. "Your breath tickles." Ricky commented, and that's when Neal noticed how close he was. He scooted back embarrassed. The blonde guy giggled and let go his top before turning around. "I got this 2 years ago. My brother wasn't fond of the idea but I was stubborn. I didn't

Burn The Mixed Guy
Arjun felt dizzy. Although the fever had subsided a little, fatigue took over his body from days of wandering and searching for his friend. He doesn’t know where he is going or where the hospital-like room he stayed since he arrived there. But one thing he is sure about is that… he is hurt by Ricky’s words. Why? He doesn’t know. Why would he let that get into his head when Ricky was nobody to him? Is it because Neal is his best friend now? Is it because he was realizing that he’s being left alone now that Neal somehow found his other half in Hunter? Or Is it because it's been years since he heard from someone that they don’t like him?Perhaps the old sayings were right. You can’t get away from deepest sorrows, whether you want to ignore them or act like that never ever happened. Once the memories get intruded, it comes back twice and eats you alive. And that’s how he is feeling right now. There are these voices in his mind… telling that he doesn’t belong here or anywhere. The same voi

“Why are you staring at him like that?” Ricky asked Neal with a smile. Neal was watching Leo who was sleeping on Hunter’s shoulder. They were sitting in the balcony in Ricky’s room, where they could get a better view of everyone outside. It’s been hours since August left and Neal could see the atmosphere changed a lot. Something big is going to happen. Everyone was on edge.Neal shrugged, “Nothing. Just….everything happened so suddenly..I don’t know what to say. How are you feeling? Does it hurt so much?” He asked, genuinely concerned about his friend.Ricky nodded his head, “I’m okay. Except your creepy friend who is staring at me. What are you looking at?” Ricky rolled his eyes at Arjun who was staring at Ricky since they sat there.Arjun was jealous to be honest. He was with Neal since childhood, through thick and thin. Has he already made a best friend these days? Nope. He is not giving that place to some new kid.“Just so you know, I’m his best friend.” Arjun said, glancing at Ne

The moment he stepped inside this house, he was thrown to the wall with a powerful hand strangling him.He clawed at Adriel’s hand desperately trying to take a breath. No one dared to stop Adriel who looked like a real psycho at that moment. They feared he would kill them if they tried to stop him.Leah called his name over and over yelling to calm down. But she knows nothing is going to stop him other than himself.“You ruined my plan. You know how many shadows I hired just to bring that damn child?” Adriel let go when he saw his brother's swelling face and bulging teary eyes. August coughed and slid down catching his breath. Adriel pulled him up by collar and looked straight at his brother.“Finally I succeeded in shaking Hunter and you just ruined it. You have made a mistake, August.” Adriel fisted his hand in August’s shirt
Burn The Shadows
1 hour ago Ricky looked affectionately at the soundly asleep Leo who was sleeping after playing with him the whole day. He can't explain how happy he is to see everyone. Feels like he is really home. But the house brings so many memories that he tried to erase. Even the bed smells the same. Why does it gives comfort and distress at the same time? "Are you thinking about Hazel?" Allison entered the room with a cup of coffee in her hand. Allison resembled her brother so much. Their skin tone, fiery hair and long arms…even the height is no different. Her floral dress was moving with the breeze as she walked. The only female existing in Rendell family smiled sweetly at her friend. "Hmm...Why is he so unfortunate? I had at least Mom with me till I'm two. But, what about him? it must be painful when he grow up. If my brothers weren't with me, I'd have gone mad." Ricky sighed sadly. "You...do you still have nightmares?" Allison asked hesitantly and handed the coffee to Ricky before sitt

Hunter waited patiently for the other guy to move. Neal fidgeted in his spot.

He didn't even see Kaiden or Brad whole day.Neal took a deep breath and moved forward, slowly. Hunter observed his every move. The doctor walked around the table and stopped beside Hunter. Hunter turned in his chair and stood up with raised brows. What the other did in the next moment really surprised him.Neal took Hunter's right hand ever so slowly and placed it on his left cheek holding it there for a few moments.It was warm.Hunter's body stiffened.

Burn Ready To Talk
"What is it? Is it about Arjun?" Neal asked, panicked. Ricky was silent since they walked out, and now they are in garden. The doctor's silence made the vet tense."Do you like Hunter?"Neal was surprised at the question and he frowned as soon as the name left Ricky's lips. He didn't say anything."Why are you treating him like this all of sudden?" Ricky kept talking. It was Neal's time to be silent."I know we held you hostage and you hate us.""I don't hate you! Or anyone!" Neal squeaked."So you like him?" Ricky pressed.Neal sighed, "I didn't say that. I don't know how your world works Derrick, because I'm an ordinary person. I'm―""So what do you imply we are? Monsters?" Ricky raised his brows, there wasn't any amusement in his face anymore."We didn't chose this life, Neal. Trust me, if I had a choice, I wouldn't be a part of this world." Ricky breathed out.Neal saw a flash of sadness in the other's eyes. Now he's feeling bad.

He shout throwing his hands up.Kaiden was still calm when he replied, "I know. But what matters, he is okay now. He's not dead. Also, don't forget what he taught us, nothing good will come out of anger, Hunter. Don't forget it." He said with a straight face and gave his boss a pointed look."Says the one who scarred Jayce."

"I told you I want to be alone Ric―" Neal stopped when he saw who entered his room. Hunter. Not in his earlier blood drenched shirt though.He is wearing a light blue button up and black dress pants now. Hunter ran a hand through his damped locks, a gesture he does whenever he is tense. Neal unconsciously breathed in the fresh scent of body wash that hit his nose.Neal was standing beside the window with folded arms. He was silent since the incident happened downstairs. Ricky tried to make conversations hoping some words out of Neal's mouth. But the guy courteously asked the young one to leave him alone for a while.
