Chapter Text
Previously: “Why? Would you like a show? A demonstration perhaps?”
Now Sizhui was thoroughly confused.
“What.” Brendon was apparently also lost.
“Watch and learn.”
…
Jingyi walked around Brendon, stepping close to Sizhui, a hand coming up to cup Sizhui’s left cheek, thumb brushing over his cheekbones with such gentleness and reverence that the action caused a shiver to go down Sizhui’s back. Jingyi leaned in, so close that Sizhui was able to feel the other’s hot breath on his forehead.
“I’m so sorry that I’m confessing because of an idiot, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Lan Sizhui, A-Yuan, I like you- hell, I love you and I have loved you consciously for the past 4 years at least. I love you and I want to be with you and kiss you and hug you and hold you in my arms forever. I asked you parents for their blessings last week and I spent this weekend planning the most perfect confession for that plan to go completely down the drain, but I don’t care about what other people think. What do you say Sizhui? Will you let me kiss you and show this asshole and everyone else that you are mine and that I am yours?”
Sizhui didn’t even bother to reply, he simply fisted the front of Jingyi’s pulling him close and meeting him in the middle, kissing him square on the mouth. Jingyi’s hand moved so that the fingers cradled the other’s neck pulling him in while his thumb grazed his jawline. Jingyi’s free hand moved to Sizhui’s waist bringing him in closer while the other brought his arms up to rest around his shoulders. The kiss was desperate at first but evolved into something far sweeter as they both got accustomed to the each other’s pace.
The kiss wasn’t indecent exactly, but it most certainly wasn’t innocent, and of course our young lovers had no clue and forgot about the rest of the world existing completely. Seeing that they weren’t going to be stopping anytime soon, who better than Sizhui’s loving cousin and Jingyi’s frenemy would be more fit in bringing them back to earth.
“OI IDIOTS QUIT IT! THEY GOT IT, YOU TWO ARE IN LOVE! IF YOU DON’T STOP DOING THIS IN A PUBLIC PLACE RIGHT NOW, I WILL BREAK YOUR KNEECAPS!”
Sizhui and Jingyi pulled apart with a start. Jingyi looked down to see Sizhui’s beautiful face flushed an absolutely adorable pink, wearing an expression of shyness that should most definitely be illegal for how lethal it was. Jingyi himself was giddy with happiness. I mean, if that kiss meant anything, then his feelings were definitely reciprocated, and boy, trust me when I say the happiness of finding out your love is reciprocated is addicting. Sizhui was like a drug to him. And Jingyi was caught. Hook, line and sinker.
“I SWEAR TO GOD LAN JINGYI, IF YOU KEEP LOOKING AT MY COUSIN LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC, I WILL NOT HESITATE TO KILL YOU!”
Scowling Jingyi turned to face the little mistress, whose own scowl was honestly downright terrifying but Jingyi would never admit that to the little mistress as long as he was alive. That thought was going with him to the grave.
“A-Ling calm down. Even if you lost the bet we had you shouldn’t feel the need to take out your anger on Jingyi.”
The towering but lanky figure of Ouyang Zizhen appeared behind Jin Ling. The boy has always been too long for his own good, if Jingyi was tall then Zizhen was quite possibly a giant, at a whopping 192cm.
“Jingyi, I love you as a friend but please, if you are going to kiss Sizhui like that, as romantic as it was, please take it somewhere a bit more private.”
“Wait a second…bet? What Bet?!”
Zizhen’s face paled considerably after Sizhui questioned his previous words, indicating, quite obviously, that Sizhui and Jingyi were not going to be happy to hear about it.
“Uh. Uhm, gOTTA GO! BYE! HAVE FUN YOU LOVE BIRDS!”
Zizhen’s yelled his words over his shoulders as he rapidly retreated, dragging a stubborn little Jin Ling along with him. Jin Ling may be mad, but everyone knew he wasn’t mad about being manhandled by Zizhen. If it was Jingyi, Sizhui or even Uncle Jiang, no doubt that Jin Ling would’ve thrown a fit, but in the face of a young Zizhen, who towered over him with lanky limbs and a face that was only going to fill out and grow handsomer as the latter matures, he didn’t say a word.
“Well…I probably shouldn’t learn about the details of that if we want our friends and family intact. But I must say, those two idiots have made me terribly curious.”
For some reason Jingyi, who had begun to say these words in the most typical un-Lan fashion, adopted a lower tone as he reached the end of his statement. And Sizhui knew now exactly how he should respond. Don’t forget his other father, his beloved dad, is none other than Wei Wuxian, the most-Shameless-one-to-ever-grace-the-entirety-of-existence himself.
“Hmmm…I don’t know. I think there are some other things that you should be more curious about and only I can give you any answers or clues to help you there~”
Jingyi was shocked. Since when did Sizhui flirt?! And in such a not-innocent at all manner. Ah. Uncle Wei.
“You’re not wrong, do you think we should go to our spot behind the rabbit enclosure?”
“Took the words right out of my brain.”
With that Jingyi didn’t hold back his urges removing his hands from where they had come to rest at Sizhui’s hips, taking the smaller boy’s right hand in his left and intertwining them before taking off in the direction of where the rabbits were kept.
Once they reached the rabbit enclosure, both radiating a gentle glow from the healthy flush which had appeared across their cheeks during the short jog, they closed off any remaining space between them. As their lips came together in another sweet kiss, the two were able to lose themselves in the moment without any interruptions.
Fin.
