Meridian's Devil

The constant fear ferments in the back of Yue's head and the discomfort it brings along renders her from sleeping alone in the open living room. A vulnerable large area with a sliding door within a close proximity, which could with utter ease be broken by a dedicated force of an animal, she couldn't sleep peacefully knowing that she might be attacked at any moment if she isn't wary of her surroundings.

And if she were to be alert of the encompassing habitat then her awfully drained brain couldn't be in a state of equanimity which it was in a dire need of.

She rapidly shifted her glance from the translucent window door, to the overly snug and comfy sleeping mattress beside the warmth provider furnace, and then to the open exit. Her eyes fixate at the door, an alluring option. She gulped once, twice and a long sigh passed through her parted small lips.

Acting on her immediate impulses she grabs her duvet and rushes out of the assailable room. She dashed through the hall which now seemed to her overly elongated than it originally was. And at the end of the wooden polished, dimly late corridor she broke off her sprint as she reached upon his room at last.

The hall was filled with the echoes of the heaving of Yue's brisk short breaths which were inevitable given the speed of her sprint and the anxiety elevating the normal pace of her heart at once.

As Yue stood before the massive frame of a shut door, she took a few deep inhales and curled her fingers in a state of nervousness. She filled herself up with all the courage she could muster as she stood still before undertaking a valorous step. Her hand firmly grabbed the metal door handle whose surface was cold at touch to the skin and sent a subconscious trigger of goosebumps all over Yue's arm.

Without the basic decency of knocking at his door, Yue's terror overpowered her sense of reverencing someone's privacy and she evaded his dorm without any second thoughts. Her breath lapsed in its usual velocity, she took short and quick breaths as she barged into his room, it was as though she was running away from an invisible monster chasing her.

Upon entering the targeted room, it was rather a ravishing sight. She revolved her eyes in all corners and fringes of the room. The magnificent mahagony woods covered the walls and the ceiling neatly, this place had a large contribution of variety of woods to its construction. Each subject in the room was precisely at its position, everything was cleanly done, it was a little too tidy, it was almost as though nobody had been there, as though it was a room that had it's routinely maintenance done yet it was out of use.

There were a few customary bedroom furnitures but she couldn't observe them clearly. As the lights were out due to the obvious reasons of it being past midnight and the only illumination being that of the moonlight peering through the windows. Within a scarcely irradiated room, her eyes blindly tried to find a source to fix her eyes on.

Upon following the beam of light of the moon piercing through the only big glass window in his room, her eyes fall upon the bewitching shirtless man, with his eye-catching tattoos vividly visible, lying on the mattress in the corner of the room. His forearm resting upon his pale forehead almost as a gesture of being irked as she had intruded his privacy.

Upon hearing the rattling sound of shuffled feet through the corridor followed by the loud banging noise of the hurriedly opened door, slamming against the back wall, Wu sighed heavily knowing the causer of the commotion. He allows his printed forearm to fall off his forehead covering his vision. His eyes within a matter of a few milliseconds locates the timid girl.

Yue watched him stare back at her in an almost annoyed expression. It was only justified to be riled at someone constantly tagging along with unnecessarily. And that someone being Yue herself rendered her ashamed but the circumstances as such left her no other option.

She was fully aware of how her actions might only be elating his disfavour towards her and that his tolerance might not last much longer if she kept her consistency in discovering ways to annoy the presently composed being.

She gathered all the remnant courage her soul could muster to put forth, so that she could bring herself to speak her urges.

"Can I sleep with you?" She clutched at her velvety duvet in hand as she spat out the mortifying request.. In response to her seemingly weird statement his orbs dilate in absolute wonder at first, her words were open to many interpretation yet once again, and choosing his own perception of a double meaning thought his wondered eyes soon enough transformed from the initial emotion of bewilderment to darkening with a whirlpool of lust followed by a slick lick of his bottom lip as his mouth curved into a mischievous smirk.
