Older, stern CEO x dark, disturbed college student
//Healthy relationships are important, sure, but there's something delicious about a twisted relationship.//
Tan Xu admits he doesn't know how to raise a child.
It wasn't something worth mentioning until his boyfriend's younger brother confessed to him today, and Tan Xu realized he might have raised the boy wrong.
The boy who had been rebellious when they first met had put away his sharp edges and acted sweet and obedient around Tan Xu for three years. So when Tan Xu smiled and said he loved him, the boy only thought it was a late rebellious phase, mistaking admiration for romantic affection.
"You can't fall in love with your brother's boyfriend." Tan Xu stopped signing, frowned, and looked up at the boy in front of him. "Pei Ran, write an 800-character self-criticism and finish it tonight."
Every outrageous act stems from a lack of discipline.
Why are you so good to me? Do you love my brother that much? Even though he's been dead for three years, you're still willing to take care of his little brother? You give me kindness, money, and companionship, but you won't give me love.
But your love is the only thing I want.
Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me.
Pei Ran fell in love with his late brother's boyfriend, the "guardian" who had raised him for three years.
He didn't know when he had fallen for Tan Xu. By the time he realized it, he could no longer take his eyes off him. He was no longer satisfied with a relationship that was only possible through someone else.
After his true nature came out, he was scolded, firmly disciplined, and punished. More, a little more. Give me more feelings than just gentleness.
Tan Xu, Tan Xu, Tan Xu. Give me more of your private feelings, ones that don't belong to Pei An's little brother.
Pei Ran lowered his head to hide the red gleam in his eyes, looking docile as he listened to the questions beside him, his heart pounding. So close. He moved his fingers ever so slightly and touched the person he longed for day and night.
"I love you."
"My brother's been dead for three years. What kind of boyfriend are you?"
"He and I look alike. When you kiss me, who are you thinking of?"
"I was wrong, Tan Xu. Please talk to me. You can punish me, too."
A little scene:
Tan Xu found a box in Pei Ran's room. Everything inside bore some trace of him, including a diary filled with his name.
"Tan Xu, you love Pei Ran." Pei Ran wrapped his arms around Tan Xu's waist, repeating it like brainwashing for the 101st time.
"Little lunatic." Tan Xu set down the diary, brimming with possessive desire, and looked at him with lowered eyes.
"Mm. A lunatic loves you."
*Tan Xu is the seme, Pei Ran is the uke.
The seme and his boyfriend broke up amicably, but the uke doesn't know.
The title and blurb might change before the story opens, but the core premise will stay the same.
