Thread: The Price You Have To Pay [chedder/ziyi]

At long last he could get some peace of mind out in the gardens and Stefan sighed, enjoying the cool breeze. He wished he could stay here forever, pretending as though the gangrape hadn't happened to him. Reminded of that particular fact, he winced for he still felt the after-effects of it which weren't too nice at all. On the night it had happened, Stefan had cleaned himself up and checked himself out to make sure there was no real damage and he'd been lucky, the men who had raped him seemed to have taken care not to hurt him internally. It hadn't seemed as though they had been careful but apparently they had. Then again, if they hadn't been careful they would have run the risk of Stefan dying before he could try and get Tony released from jail and that wouldn't be helpful to them at all. Yet his ass was still sore and every time the material of his pants rubbed against his tender opening he was reminded of what had happened. Maybe when he got home today he would run a nice hot bath and soak in the tub for a bit. Stefan's eyes sprang open when he heard a familiar voice next to him. He whirled around to face Tony, the man he had put away and had recently been forced to bring out again and his heartrate sped up as he took a step away from the other. Despite himself, he was afraid of this man and what he might do since Stefan had tried to lock him away for a long time and had succeeded. Tony, don't come near me. This is a courthouse, there are guards posted everywhere, they'll see you if you try to hurt me. He exclaimed, his eyes flickering to the sides as he hoped someone would come out on duty or something but they were alone and Stefan's back suddenly hit the trunk of a tree. Shit. He'd run out of space to run. He looked up at Tony, intimidated by the other man's height and tried to shrink into himself. Normally he wouldn't have been this cowardly but he'd done things to piss this man off. And he knew if one was angry that person tended to be more of an animal towards that one person in general. Plus he was supposed to be in the mob which made him feared. Stefan cringed when Tony reached out to grip his shirt and pulled him closer to him. His eyes widened though when he heard what Tony said to him and he shook his head frantically. No! I got you out! That's all I can do. Please, just leave me alone. He exclaimed, attempting to make Tony let go of him and stood there shaking as the other stepped away from him, not expecting Tony to grab his shirt again to pull him in for a kiss. Tony whimpered as the kiss was forced upon him, reminding him of that night not too long ago and his heart gave a lurch. Then, Tony had really gone and he was left by himself again out in the gardens which weren't so peaceful anymore to him and he shivered as a cool breeze swept through the place. Returning inside after a few minutes he finished up the rest of his day and drove back home. Home was safe. No one he had put away knew where he lived. His friend wouldn't be back for another hour so he'd have some time to rest and relax. He ran himself a hot bath and took off his clothing, forgetting to lock the bathroom door and eased his tired and aching body into the water as he closed his eyes...enjoying the time spent alone in his home.
