The Black Saint is My StalkerCh134 - He wanted to eat

Edited by dreamandwonder

One thing led to another. 1eXBP0

After Kevin’s departure, Han Li could only describe the rest of the night as debauched. Because there was little that made sense. For one, cheap beer really shouldn’t have had any effect on his body.

And yet, he was starting to feel the world sway around him, even with Nathan pressed against his side, helping him steady.

“Dude, you had like twenty pints!” Mark barked out amid the disorientation. Han Li wasn’t sure if the number twenty was an exaggeration or not, he could only scowl grudgingly at the culprits of his current state, which he narrowed down to Simone and Mark. And Nathan might have had a hand in this bullshit too.

“I’m going home—“ GZJcdO

Han Li was promptly cut off.

“Hey, why don’t we go to a club?” Simone beamed, excitement clear in her voice. “It’s been so long! Hey, c’mon birthday boy. I’ll even call you Han Li for the rest of the night.”

Stupidly, Han Li replied without thinking, “Fine.”

“I’ll catch us a cab,” Mark singsonged and the next thing Han Li knew he was stuffed into the back of a cab, his arm around Nathan’s shoulder. What time was it? Why did his entire world smell like sea salt and caramel?

But it had seriously been so long since he loosened up with his friends like this. Wasn’t this what Graham wanted? Wasn’t this what his therapist asked of him?

A strange thought occurred to Han Li then, for he was thinking about Cyrus with rapt interest. Something about raven hair and piercing hazel eyes. But whatever the thought was, it escaped him when Nathan leaned into him and the car jolted.

“We’re almost there!” Simone chirped from the other side, “So don’t fall asleep before then, my dudes!”

The club they arrived at was one that Han Li recognized only because he had the joy of exercising a vengeful ghost of a young woman in the damned place just a few months ago. But at night, the establishment was quite different compared to what he imagined. The ground shook from the booming music and flashing neon lights pierced his sights. Scantily dressed bodies pressed together, swaying to a loud beat and even Han Li found himself enraptured. zZAhGa

“Try not to die too soon!” Mark added, “So we can actually do this more often!” efKEUi

Even Nathan grinned, eagerly joining in the toast with his own shot glass. The alcohol burned Han Li’s throat, and it tasted a bit spicy but he had no idea what it actually was.

The next thing he knew, Han Li was on the dance floor and he was staring into shining blue eyes. Nathan’s lips were soft, unlike Graham’s. He was so delicate that Han Li thought he might break beneath a single touch. There was something thrilling about that, holding a flower that might crumble beneath his palm. His stomach rumbled with voracious hunger, one that rattled his bones.

One thing led to another, as they always did. And Han Li, with plenty of money to spend, found them the closest hotel, one that was more upscale than not. Without much thought, he purchased a room for the night. (Because there was no way that he could bring Nathan home.)

And shirts were stripped, those delicate pale little hands trailed Han Li’s neck and shoulders, trailing down to the curve of his biceps. The hotel room was large, modern, and featured a king-size bed with plenty of room to roll around in. Z5fDRG

Nathan nibbled Han Li’s lips, kissed his neck and it was so strange to have to crane his neck down rather than up.

Something about this whole situation was incredibly strange. Something to do with the stifling smell of burnt caramel.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Han Li scrunched up his nose in distaste, missing the coquettish smile that curled on Nathan’s lips. The little demon pushed Han Li onto the bed, his eyes glowing blue.

Things clicked, like the flip of a switch, Han Li’s eyes went wide despite the muddle in his mind. Nathan, unaware of the change hopped on top, wetting his lips with a soft pink tongue. Han Li’s arousal melted into wrath. His eyes turned red when Nathan dipped down to kiss him— XdGwby

A hand extended and caught Nathan’s throat. A small yelp was all that escaped when Han Li flipped their positions, pinning Nathan down in the bed. A black third eye opened up on his forehead, peering down on the being that lied beneath him.

“The fuck is this nonsense?” Han Li growled, miasma thickening in the air. Nathan’s eyes went comically wide, trembling like a leaf in autumn. All color drained from his already pale visage, leaving him looking ashen.

“Y-You…!” Nathan stuttered, his horror narrowing on the black third eye upon Han Li’s brow. “Y-You’re a prince…!”

Han Li smirked, his grip tightening. With his third eye, it was clear what manner of being lied beneath him. “And you’re an incubus.” Incubi were curious things, and though there were a few that managed to form a third eye and join the ranks of higher beings, most of them were simple mid-tiers. JadSLm

Mid-tiers like Nathan beneath him, who looked like he was about to piss his pants. “I-I’m sorry! I-I didn’t know…! I didn’t know that you’re a—a…!”

Han Li’s expression was impassive, cold. He pressed down, watching the way it stifled Nathan’s airway. Not that it mattered much, a demon wasn’t going to die with just some loss of air, but at least it should shut up. “As if I care,” he spat cruelly. “Why were you hanging out with my friends? How did you meet Kevin?”

The wrath that he felt was unimaginable, spurring a hunger that threatened to tear him asunder. Han Li’s nails dug into Nathan’s neck, drawing blood.

The incubus squirmed desperately, clawing at the arm that trapped him there. But it was no use, no matter how much he retaliated, Han Li did not move an inch. Didn’t let up his grip. Suffocating a demon meant little. A demon couldn’t die by regular means, their souls would only scatter and return to the depths of the demonic realm. UsDauk

But doing so would expose those souls, and at that moment, a higher demon like Han Li could devour them with a single gulp, destroying the consciousness that might inhabit said soul. He licked his lips, eyes dilating at the thought.

Nathan only panicked further, recognizing well the sight of hunger. But he was utterly powerless, his lips flapping as he desperately tried to squeeze out words through his collapsed windpipe. “…I-I’ll…tell…y-you…!”

“…” Han Li’s expression only darkened, an annoyance pricking his skin. He couldn’t put a name to the feeling but it was akin to hatred. Only was it for Nathan, or perhaps for himself? Begrudgingly, he lifted his hand from Nathan’s neck, reasoning that the incubus needed some air to answer questions.

But Nathan, panicked, took the slightest chance he got to flee. Free of Han Li’s grasp he backed away, eyes glowing blue. His body turned into a wispy black smoke. A small owl took its place, wings flapping frantically as it shot toward the window. hpdoNC

Only Han Li was faster, using the bed as a step he leaped and snatched the black bird right out the air. Without any mercy, he tore the beast to shreds with his bare hands. Feathers and viscous black blood littered the ground and coated Han Li’s claws. His heart raced, adrenaline high. Saliva gathered in his mouth, his stomach rumbled. The owl twitched in his hands, the gory bits began to dissipate, feathers, flesh and even blood disappeared into black wispy smoke.

The demon’s physical form wilted away to reveal a floating soul, visible only to Han Li’s black third eye.

He stared at it hungrily. He wanted to eat, so, so badly.

(He can’t. Shouldn’t.) AiS1yK

The soul floated for a moment before it began sinking into the floor, slowly making its journey back to the demonic realm.

Han Li took a deep breath.

His body shook, his ears filled with white noise and mind blank.

Another deep breath, count to five. zlJxB9

One, two, three, four, five. Exhale.

His vision blurred but he refused to cry. “Fuck,” his voice came out trembling, weak to his ears. He wanted to go home so badly. He wanted to see Graham so badly.

With shaking hands he gathered his shirt, dressed, and left in a hurry.

Back in Graham’s penthouse, Graham himself sat quietly on the sofa in the living room despite the late hour. There was no real reason for him to be up so late, especially not when he knew there was a good chance that Han Li wasn’t even going to come home that night. DpdMJb

He was busy reading a book for once, trying to indulge in a moment of peace. But he was rather startled when the front door opened and Han Li stepped inside.

“Han Li—“ Graham’s initial joy melted into worry when he caught a waft of miasma in the air. “Han Li, what happened?”

Han Li looked up, his dark eyes sharp. There was a ruby glow within his pupils and his lips were almost just as red, swollen from kissing. He looked debauched. Graham froze then, worry transforming into uncertainty. “Han Li?”

Han Li did not answer. He threw off his shoes and crossed the distance between them in wide strides, pressing his lips against Graham’s. It smelled of sea salt and caramel. Graham scowled, funneled his divine power through Han Li’s lips before pulling away. When Han Li tried to chase him, he put his arm between them. fj8UFO

“Stop.” Graham’s voice was stern, brows furrowed. “Tell me what happened.”
