I’ve been working on this story for over a year and finally sat my ass down to finish it. It’s the most lengthy, plot-y story I’ve written and I definitely feel a bit of pride for it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do ^^ updates will be every Thursday!

The cold metal of the gun barrel pressed to Kai’s temple doesn’t even send a shiver through his body. Instead of a fearful chill a thrilled shudder racks his bones - a small tremor, one not visible to even a watchful eye… but he feels it, from where the gun is touching his skin all the way down to the tips of his toes. The smile on his face is maniacal, splitting his already bruised lips, his white teeth covered in blood, cheeks lifting to distort his blackened left eye. His gaze is on the detective standing in front of him, and while the detective has a gun pointed at Kai, they both know that the law will pull the trigger first.

“This is how it ends,” Kai breathes out, voice almost carried away by the wind. On the roof of this sky rise condo he knows the detective has to strain to hear him, the wind whipping around them, thunder crackling in the distance. Kai is standing on the ledge, balanced on the balls of his feet, rocking ever so slightly. There’s no support beneath his heels. Just a little deeper of a flex, and he’ll go sailing eighty floors.

“Kai-” Detective Kim calls out, his voice half warning, half terrified.

Kai loves to see the fear in Detective Kim’s eyes. It makes his stomach twist and his groin tighten.

“What do you think will kill me faster?” Kai asks, his voice a bit breathy with arousal, adrenaline. His finger trembles on the trigger of the revolver he has pointed to his head. One bullet left. A Russian Roulette he’ll surely win. “A bullet to my brain, or my head impacting on cement?”

“Don’t-” Detective Kim takes a step forward but immediately staggers back when Kai flings an arm out to the side, exposing himself.

“Or maybe a bullet from your gun?” Kai muses. The wind whips his tattered black shirt up, exposing worn scars speckled across the smooth, tan plane of his stomach.

“Things don’t have to end like this!” Detective Kim yells to be heard over the wind. His tie is flapping around and occasionally slapping him in the neck, and with the wind blustering his suit Kai can see his narrow waist, the curve of his shoulders. Detective Kim is a work of art.

Kai sighs wistfully, tipping his head back and looking up at the sky. It’s cloudy tonight. No moon or stars to be seen, the wind carrying away any star dust that might be floating in the atmosphere. He flexes on the balls of his feet again, his heels dipping dangerously low, the muscles in his calves burning from the pleasant stretch.

“This is the only way,” Kai finally says, lowering his chin and leveling his eyes with Detective Kim’s. The arm holding the gun to his head flexes as he readjusts the positioning. The smirk returns to his features, and he rises up onto his toes. “Let me know which one killed me faster.”

He jumps.

A single gunshot fires.

Detective Kim’s screams get lost in the wind.
