what shape does your pain take?

Your pain takes the shape of ghosts, haunting you, always there. No one would believe you if you told them, or understand even if they did. You don't know how to make them go away, or what they want. They just follow you, casting shadows over all you do, being your fears and the embodiment of all you've lost or are afraid of losing. They can't touch you though... Can they?

@cain-blood II Random Starter II Verse: TBA

Ying had been reading out in the garden when she had spotted the unfamiliar man talking with Sing. The man was quite the sight, tall and muscular and though she couldn’t quite make out what they were saying he had quite the appealing tone to his voice. So of course she found herself curious, waiting until Sing had said his goodbyes to strike. 

Getting up, book in hand she began to walk acting as if she was so immersed in the book that she simply wasn’t watching where she was going all the way up until she bumped lightly into the other’s back. The softest of gasps escaped her lips as she looked up from her book acting as if she had been startled by the sudden run in. Looking up at the tall man a light blush peppered across her cheeks. 

“O-Oh! Please forgive me.. I didn’t see you there.”

@lao-yen-tai II Random Starter II Verse: TBA

She had heard from Yue that Lao had gone after the Lynx and had managed to get himself shot. For some reason that she couldn’t quite explain she found herself worried for the man who held a fearful sort of loyalty to the Lees. It had been this worry that eventually led her to finding out which hospital the boy was staying at and making her way to see him with Wu trailing behind her at her son’s insistence. 

It wasn’t hard to getting into the hospital and finding his room number. Knocking lightly on the door before walking inside she caught sight of the tired and almost pale looking man laying in a hospital bed. She ordered Wu to stay outside as she took the bag of takeout from the man before closing the door behind her. 

“I do hope you feel better than you look..” she mused, stepping closer and placing the bag down on the nearby tray. “I am told that hospital food is horrendous so I took the liberty of stopping by and picking up something more appetizing for you.”

Lao sucks in a harsh breath. Trust was a rarity, that much was undeniable but he couldn’t offer it to this woman. Not this easily.. Although it would be easy considering how beautiful she was. “I’m sorry.. I owe everything to them.” The fear was obvious across Lao’s youthful expression.  “They made sure my brother and cousin are safe. I can’t speak poorly about them.”  

After a long moment he runs his hands down his face and looks over his fingers, “You’re not an old woman… You shouldn’t say that about yourself.. Besides, nothing wrong with being old. Most people never get to experience that.”

She can see the fear as plain as day, not at all surprised by it. She could only imagine the horrors that the family had put this boy through while offering their sad excuse of protection. Trust would have to be earned if she ever wanted the truth from him, and though he didn’t seem like the brightest young man.. there was some redeemable qualities. So she let the subject drop, deciding it was best left there. 

However an eyebrow raised at his protests of her being old, a soft hum escaping. “I suppose you have a point.. please forgive me.” she could only imagine how much death Lao had undoubtedly seen. “You are quite the gentleman Lao..Anyone would be quite lucky to have you as theirs”

Was this a trick? His brows knit together but he sits as he’s told. The woman before him is utterly captivating, just like Yue. It was no doubt where he got it from but this woman held her grace differently. Her kindness was more predominant, not an act or.. if it was, it was a damn good one. The thought made his mind reel. 

“The Lee’s provide a lot for my family.. Of course.” A lie. A straight up lie but he smiles. “Everything I have I owe my life to.” Gingerly he reaches into his pocket and pulls the wad out and tosses it onto the table between them. “I don’t need much else.”

She watched his every move, only slightly disappointed at the blatant lie she was told. Then again she understood his reason to do so, survival was everything and a dog should never bite the hand that allows it to live. “Lao, I’ve been a whore of the Lee family since I was ten years old, and I know that they were nothing but a pack of monsters who bleed people dry.” There was a coldness in her voice, though it wasn’t directed at Lao, but rather at the memory of the horrors she had endured. 

“Now, would you like to try that answer again? You have nothing to fear from an old whore.”

Dark eyes widen at the sight of the cash. He was no stranger to handling money in large sums. Of course, never getting any to himself but between odd jobs it wasn’t unusual.  And though the temptation is nice, he raises his hand and shakes his head. “No… I can’t.” What would he lead with? Your mom made me buy these the thought alone was pathetic.

“I know my place and it’s to serve him loyally. Not as a lover.” He huffs and smoothes his hand through his hair. “And, I don’t want to die anytime soon so I won’t take the risk. Got a little brother I need to look after.”

Ying hummed softly as he listened to the other, thinking that perhaps she had judged him a little too quickly. He was proving to be quite the interesting character, anyone else would have just taken the money and done as they were told. Taking a step closer she tucked the cash into his front pocket and offered a warm smile. “Keep it for yourself than, I have no use of it.” 

“Tell me Lao..” she paused, putting some space in between them, moving to sit down on the couch, motioning for the other to sit down as well. “Why did you decide to serve the Lee’s, the real reason, not whatever line they have you conditioned to say.”

“No.. I dun think she ever loved me enough to hold me, so that kinda mercy would have been ideal.” The dark haired male admits quietly, rubbing the back of his neck , dark gaze still adverted. “I feel real bad about it. I think he hates me now. I wasn’t the nicest.”

Ying blinked there was something about that response that tugged at her heart strings. Maybe it was her motherly instinct, but any anger she had felt seemed to all but melt away. She reached for her purse near by and pulled out a rather large wad of cash, handing it over to Lao. “There is a shop that is down the street from that restaurant that you all hang out at, they sell gourmet chocolates, They are his favorites. With the left over money buy yourself a nice outfit to present the gift in.” 

A soft smile spread across her face as she reached out to gently run her fingers down Lao’s jawline. “If you spend this money on anything else, and aren’t an absolute gentleman to my son, I will find you.. and I will kill you, am I understood?”

He felt.. Humiliated for a number of reason. The woman’s scrutinizing look baring down on him making him shrink. “He’s.. very beautiful.” Lao admits, his embarrassment obviously places against usually hardened features. “I apologize for being so disrespectful.” He couldn’t look at the woman, “For what it’s worth, if I would have known from the beginning I would have still asked him out.”

Her gaze remained stern as he attempted to explain himself, it was definitely a sad sight to behold. The man was no where near good enough for her son, he was clearly a low life thug at best. She stands there, running a hand through her long hair as she stares the boy down intent on making him nervous. Finally after a long pause she sighed softly. “Did your mother drop you on your head as an infant?”

She stared at the young man, looking him up and down for a long moment. “So are you the one who mistook my moon for a woman?” He had a dumb look about him, so she was entirely sure it was a safe assumption.

🌙 ⏩ @shadowruled II Starter Call II Verse: TBA

Adjusting to her freedom had been quite difficult, though Ying Yue was managing well enough. It had only been a week or so since her son had stumbled upon her prison and brought her home. For the first couple of days all she cared about was her son, not having an interest in any of the other occupants of the estate. That was of course until her son began to fill her in on all that she had missed. 

She waited for the perfect moment to strike, her son out on some lunch date with an acquaintance of some sort. She made her way out of her room and began to search for the man who would soon wed her son. It took some time but eventually she found him enjoying a bath. 

“Are you the one who plans on marrying my son?”
