Nothing could make Xia Fei happier than this. The lights, the cameras flashing, the makeup, the clothing, etc. and most importantly, he was doing this shoot with Lu Guang! His heart had been hammering happily away in his chest ever since he’d entered the studio and found out.
It wasn’t common for Lu Guang to shoot with him, so Xia Fei seized every opportunity. Usually, Lu Guang would be out with Liu Xiao (lucky bastard), doing whatever they did (usually an order from Vein). Today, Xia Fei got the privilege of spending the day with their most recent member.
Lu Guang kept fussing with his hair, and Xia Fei knew he was uncomfortable having it slicked back to reveal his forehead. He’d always claimed some rubbish about how it felt as if people could see into his thoughts, and as part of The House’s brains, he felt disturbed by it. Xia Fei didn’t entirely understand, but it was his duty to help his fellow model feel better.
“GuangGuang~ If you mess it up then the director is just gonna get them to fix it again~”
“I know,” Lu Guang sighed, dropping his hand as Xia Fei hugged him from behind. “Just…a lot on my mind, right now”.
“Hm?” Xia Fei nudged him. “Tell me. Or I can just help take your mind off things~” He snaked his hands down Lu Guang’s stomach, the clink of the man’s buckle giving away his intentions if nothing else had. Unfortunately, Lu Guang’s reflexes were faster than they often gave him credit for, and Xia Fei’s fingers were clasped by Lu Guang’s in a flash. “Oh, boo. That’s no fun, GuangGuang~” he giggled.
“…Xia Fei?”
“Mhm?”
“…I’m gonna leave”.
“What?! B-But the shoot isn’t over yet—”
“No, I mean…after this. I’m leaving The House. I’ve come to realise that it’s not the place for me, and besides…there’s something I need to do back home…”
Xia Fei’s heart cracked. Painfully. “But… The House is home, GuangGuang…” He swallowed. “VeeVee won’t like it… He’ll send XiaoXiao after you—”
“And I’ll just avoid him. I’ll lie low. I know pretty much all his rich boy tricks, anyway”. Lu Guang turned to face him, cupping his cheeks in warm palms. “I’m sorry… Trust me, I never wanted to hurt you like this, you’ve done nothing wrong, I promise you, Xia Fei…”
The blond held back a sniffle pridefully, even though his eyes were pricking hotly with tears. “…Fine. But let me be clear on something, GuangGuang; Karma’s a real bad bitch sometimes”.
