Bound to My Archrival and Ex, I Find Comfort

After overusing his ability, Chu Shiyuan temporarily lost his sight.

Treatment with high-strength restricted drugs required a partner to supervise him.

Chu Shiyuan agreed.

But reality dealt him a crushing blow: his new partner was none other than Fu Xize, the old flame he'd fallen out with years ago!

An S-rank ability user, a high-ranking officer, the base's renowned ace, famous for his composure and rationality,

and also his most unwelcome ex, his nemesis, whom he'd blocked two years ago, and the first love he had never managed to forget.

Chu Shiyuan immediately tried to take back his agreement.

Everyone at the base was baffled.

"Aren't you two close, with perfect teamwork? Aren't you partners who'd trust each other with your lives?"

Chu Shiyuan: "..."

Chu Shiyuan decided to go for it. How hard could it be to pretend to be a good partner? He could do it!

He intimately took the arm of his old flame, Fu Xize, the officer renowned for his composure, rationality, and incredible ability to control a situation. "Of course we're on the best of terms. I'm absolutely delighted to be Officer Fu's partner, hahaha..."

Fu Xize raised an eyebrow.

If Chu Shiyuan weren't gripping his arm hard enough to nearly break it, he might have believed him.

Later, during a battle, the pain in Chu Shiyuan's eyes flared up again. As he hid away, trembling and falling apart, Fu Xize drew on his familiarity with him to find him at once and pull him tightly into his arms.

"Get lost."

"Didn't you say we're partners who'd trust each other with our lives? The kind where it's you or me."

Fu Xize spoke softly, running a hand over Chu Shiyuan's sharp canine and gently enticing him.

The wicked, cunning ex coaxed Chu Shiyuan into taking out his frustrations on him: hitting, cursing, biting, leaving streaks of blood, soothing his out-of-control ability, and taking all his pain onto himself.

Somewhere between the bites, they ended up in bed.

A day later, Chu Shiyuan lay sprawled across the soft bed, feeling the pain in his eyes transferred to his lower back.

"Fu Xize, you bastard!!"

But Fu Xize, still unsatisfied, pressed down on his shoulder and looked down at him. The possessiveness and love in his eyes burned with startling intensity.

"Yeah. I love you too."

Welcome to the Fu Xize x Chu Shiyuan show:

#After all that hating, all you hated was that I didn't love you

#He only bites/hits/threatens me with a knife/yells at me, not anyone else, so he must love me

#They broke up two years ago and each pretended to be doing great, but both developed depression and anxiety, then were forced back together and instantly recovered

#A love-struck idiot saves the world, but only as a side effect of falling in love

#They both thought the other was a player, but actually they're two hopeless romantics

Blind, explosive-tempered, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted battle maniac bottom x powerful, possessive gravity-type top who lowers himself for love

Some hurt/comfort, with strong mutual feelings and support as they heal each other
