Chapter Text
5
Shao Fei takes a deep breath, inhaling and exhaling repeatedly as he tries to calm himself down. He reminds himself that he's a Police Captain and it would do him no good if he acted like one of the criminals they put behind the bars. He opens his eyes and okay, he can do this. Just think it as one of the trials of life and he can pass this obstacle.
He was informed by his lover that the other would be waiting for him in the bar. Not just any bar but Andy's (the sly fox's) bar. At hearing the location, he hurriedly finishes the necessary reports he has to type before dashing madly to the place. You can never trust that fox. When he reaches the meeting place, what he sees made his blood boil — the bar was still the same, what you would expect from such a place; noisy with wriggling bodies and blinding colorful lights. This is not what made him furious though.
His eyes auto-focuses on Andy — even though he is basically hard to find through the array of people inside the bar — who's glued to Tang Yi's side, like the leech he is. Both of them are sitting on the barstools, having a nice chat over some alcoholic drinks. It looks like Andy was not contented and even leaned far more closer than Shao Fei liked, fluttering his eyelashes seductively and lips warping into a smirk when he sees the expression on the cop's face. Shao Fei is right, the other undeniably resembles a fox and he is wondering if Tang Yi would like a fox steak served in their table tonight.
The previous mob boss looks like he haven't noticed his presence yet, the idiot didn't even fight back the fox's advances and Shao Fei already felt his anger meter reaching its peak. Like a raging bull, he wends his way towards them — pushing through the tangled limbs on the dancefloor — and puts some distance between the two by shoving Andy away and taking his place beside Tang Yi.
His lover was surprised, apparently shocked at the sudden appearance of his boyfriend and Shao Fei would've given him a good scolding about not getting too close to other people who is not Shao Fei if only he was not occupied with getting Andy away from the former. He faced the latter, chin up in the air and eyes wide like saucers while his back is turned to his lover.
"Look who's here." Andy said smoothly, not fazed at being shoved away while a wry smile is playing on his lips and a brow is raised sarcastically, "Already acting like a hysterical wife, I see."
Shao Fei widens his eyes a little bit more, smiling widely before taking a step and poking his index finger at Andy's bare chest (why is he always wearing a shirt that reveals his chest?) who finally dropped his smirk and is now wearing an expression akin to being scandalized, "Wife? I'm more like Dora who's keeping you away, fox."
The cop leans forward to his left ear and whispered slowly, "Swiper no swiping." He smiled haughtily, turning his head around to Tang Yi's direction (who looked ready to intervene) to momentarily shut the other up with a glare that clearly tells him to stay out of this. The latter frowns, falling silent and already knowing where this is going.
Andy rolls his eyes, disbelief in his features as he scoffs, long fingers grasping his hips, "Excuse me? Who would I swipe? Tang Yi? Get real. Before he met you, I was already there." It is his turn to smile, "And mind you, this is my bar. My territory. You better watch your mouth, Dora."
Shao Fei grits his teeth, ready to pummel the flirty bar owner to death (Police Captain be damned) but was stopped by none other than Tang Yi who grabs his arm before completely pulling him away from the place. He sees Andy's victorious smirk before they disappeared completely through the bar's door.
He tried taking his arm back, about to charge into the place again to give that stinking fox a lesson he will never forget (which includes things that only criminals do) but Tang Yi won't let go of him. He whips his head to his lover, eyes burning in rage and mild (really) jealousy, "Let go!"
Tang Yi's handsome face is twisted in a deep frown, hand wrapped around the police captain's arm securely, "No."
"Tang Yi-"
"What good would that make? Why are you even angry?"
Is he seriously asking that? What the hell.
"What the hell?" He knew he wouldn't manage to keep it inside his mind, "He was all over you! And you're asking me why I'm angry?" He pulls his arm and this time, he finally got it back, "Why am I angry?" His wide eyes blazed in fury because he just cannot believe that Tang Yi would ask such an obvious question, "You were just smiling and you let him do what he wanted! You-" He never finished his sentence and just glared, and glared, and glared. If his glare could burn, Tang Yi would have been cremated on the spot. He wants the other to realize what he did wrong because people are practically throwing themselves at him and he just lets them.
With a pout, he looks away and settles his glare somewhere. Like that nice car over there. Stupid car. Parked there peacefully. Stupid Andy. Scheming vixen. Stupid Tang Yi. Sexy asshole.
For a few seconds, the only sound they could hear were the crickets in the night's stillness before Shao Fei feels warm fingers creeping on his clenched fist and he harshly pushes it away, already aware whose hand it belongs to. He did not turn his gaze back at Tang Yi before a hand (again?!) snakes around his arm, a breath suddenly in his ear, "Are you jealous?"
His face turns red at the statement, his free hand flying towards his ear and eyes darting at a smirking Tang Yi — why is he so handsome?! It's unfair! — who's keeping a firm hold on his other arm. The nerve of this guy…
Anger towards Andy totally forgotten and a new one emerging towards Tang Yi, he breaks free from the other's hold (for how many times already) while glaring again, lips jutted forward, "Who's jealous?! You're jealous! Your whole family is jealous! Don't talk to me, stupid Tang Yi! Have fun with Andy!" Before turning around and stomping away, mumbling a string of curses under his breath.
Tang Yi sucks.
Gangster bastard.
(Even though he said that, once Tang Yi is home bringing lamb soup from Tiger Noodles — without cola because according to Tang Yi, 'It's bad for your health' — instead replacing it with tea before kissing him senseless, his anger immediately subsided and all was forgotten.)
