Work Text:
at this point in time, yibo was used to hearing his phone buzz non-stop until he enabled the do-not-disturb function.
being out of the country however meant less calls and more peace even though his schedules were still gruelling.
but there's one ringtone he couldn't get sick of when it came to his phone.
the ringtone that alerted him that his boyfriend was trying to connect.
yibo smirked slightly and let it ring until it went unanswered.
he shifted slightly in the hotel bed until he lay sideways, leaning against his arm and his head resting against his palm.
his phone buzzed once more causing him to chuckle a little. again he left it for about 5 more seconds until he finally answered the video call with a raised eyebrow and pursed lips.
"oh? ah.....who might this be?" yibo tried, glaring at the phone screen.
xiao zhan groaned and rolled his eyes, he could tell he was in the middle of taking promotional photos for his upcoming movie, The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
he nestled the black fan near his face and pouted. "Wang Yibo." he said in a hushed tone.
"yes, that is my name. i'm sorry and you are?" he put on his best acting frown and tapped his chin as if in deep thought.
xiao zhan looked around him swiftly before he let out a annoyed sigh. "aish."
he watched as xiao zhan moved to what looked like a private room and locked himself inside, whispering again.
"wang yibao. are you starting again!?" he whined, stomping his foot.
"hmmm. sorry, if you don't know me i'd suggest blocking my number." he said as he lifted his hand and blew on his nails without a single care in the world.
xiao zhan whimpered, "i can't block this didi he's too hot." he huffed out, annoyed.
"mn. well i am positive that you are around other hot didis at the moment too. zhan-ge." he hissed, rolling his eyes.
"wang yibo! you- stop punishing me ah? it was a mistake baobei please." he exaggerated his pout at the camera.
yibo smirked and sat up, "mistake ah? well this is your chance to clear things up." he noted, sitting up slightly so that he could slip his shirt off.
my oh my was it HOT.
yibo fanned himself a little until he got back into the camera's view.
"look, i couldn't outright say i know you, the kid would've grown suspicious and you know these fans too. what they're like and-.....yibo why are you naked." he dead-panned, blinking at the camera.
"it's hot. anyways you were saying how you don't know me..." he pushed, staring at his phone screen.
xiao zhan whimpered and banged his head against the wall. "my boyfriend hates me." he said in a whiny tone.
yibo laughed, gulping down some water. "yes i do. but i also love you. a man that clearly doesn't know me."
xiao zhan let out a defeated noise and rested his head against the wall.
yibo snorted. "baobei, i'm just messing around. i like you maybe a little."
xiao zhan bared his teeth at the camera and snarled, "wang yibo."
yibo giggled and lay back down against the bed. "okay fine i love you."
xiao zhan pouted yet again, sitting on some random stool. "i love you. i miss you too."
silence.
it was comforting. almost as if they were both next to each other in that very moment.
"i think he had a suspicion from that day you visited on set." xiao zhan mumbled, pulling his black fan closer to his face.
yibo smiled as he noticed the fan and nodded. "well, i didn't exactly wear the best disguise baobao."
"aiya. this is all wang laoshi's fault. had you worn a better disguise he wouldn't have recognised you." he replied in a playful tone, giggling a little.
"zhan-ge, i think it was more so from the fact i dragged you into your trailer just to kiss you that day" he deadpanned, smirking.
"you really can't help yourself can you." xiao zhan complained.
"with you in those white robes? you wearing nothing but shorts underneath those very sheer robes? baobei, of course not." yibo explained with a huge grin.
xiao zhan rolled his eyes and coughed a little, "really though we need to be more careful." he sighed.
"careful? fuck everyone i will kiss you wherever i like." he frowned.
"ssss. wang yibo." he chided, staring at the camera again.
"if you were here i would've beat your ass." xiao zhan stated.
"and if you were here i would've left you limping like i did 4 days ago baobao." yibo said, cackling like the maniac he was.
xiao zhan groaned and rubbed his ass at the very thought. "hey, shutup! my ass is still sore you know?"
yibo smirked, "give me two days, i'll be back there to massage it for you." he said with the cheekiest grin ever.
xiao zhan finally laughed at this and shook his head, "shutup don't make me miss you more." he giggled and shut his eyes, the black fan still in place.
yibo smiled. if only he could jump through the screen right then and hug the love of his life. that would make everything worthwhile.
"i miss you too zhan-ge. so do my lips. i need to kiss you so badly." he said making dreamy eyes into the camera.
xiao zhan widened his eyes at this, blinking fast. "well, how fast can you get here?"
"hm? mmmmmm give me two day-" yibo mumbled, getting interrupted.
xiao zhan giggled, "i'm just messing around bo-ge. stop it. you need to rest. i will see you when the universe allows." he said, sighing softly.
yibo drew his eyes closer together, concerned. "fuck rest. i want to be beside you always. need to show my boyfriend just how much i love him."
"i know i know but bo-ge-"
"shhhhh. just wait 3 more days? okay baobao?"
xiao zhan sighed in defeat, nodding slowly. "mmm."
yibo smiled widely, "i love you."
xiao zhan was seated in a stand-by chair on the filming set, sliding further in until he was slouching in it.
he puffed his cheeks a couple times, watching some of the cast doing a quick rehearsal until they were ready to capture those scenes on camera.
xiao zhan sighed, stretching a little. they had all been filming the past 12 hours with little to no rest. it was already well into the early morning at that stage. 3:45am to be exact. xiao zhan shut his eyes for a couple moments.
"laoshi, you're not needed until 7am. why don't you get some rest?" one of the productions assistants said to him, a little too close to be comfortable.
"mm? oh? okay." but why was the voice so deep? she didn't sound like that earlier. xiao zhan frowned a little. he had to be hearing things.
he got up slowly from his chair and made his way towards his trailer, taking his time.
as he got there he entered the trailer, the assistant still following closely.
"it's okay you can go now, i think you need the rest-" xiao zhan said, gasping a little when a large hand caught his own and spun him around to face him, giving him a dizzying whiplash.
"what-" he huffed out, his chest bumping into the assistants. although, it wasn't? since when did the assistant get taller and bulkier?
xiao zhan blinked carefully and frowned a little until his vision cleared up.
"ey- you-" xiao zhan said, at a loss for words, both of his hands in the other man's own.
"i told you i'd come." the man sighed, removing his bucket hat and face mask straight away, revealing his bare-faced boyfriend wearing a huge smile.
"wang yibo." he whined out, his eyes meeting yibos own.
"ah, so he does know me." he said, giggling when he received a pinch to his waist.
"why did you actually come?! i know you rushed, you fool. i could've waited you know." he said with a huge pout, his hands now caressing the other man's cheeks, his eyes tearing up because of how overwhelmed he felt.
yibo immediately grasped hold of his lover's waist and smiled. "you could've waited. but i couldn't. i missed you so badly. it's getting harder to stay away from you." he confessed, turning his head a little to press a kiss to xiao zhan's palm.
yibo pulled him a little closer, enveloping his arms around the older man, peering into his eyes still.
the eyes of which tears began to fall gracefully on their own.
yibo squeezed him gently and kissed each and every tear. "i will always come, no matter what. always, just for you. i could even cross the desert for you." he murmured, pressing kisses all over his tired geges' face.
xiao zhan laughed softly, sniffing. "i am so lucky. so lucky that someone like you is all mine." he mumbled, thumbing yibo's cheeks and squishing them slightly causing yibo to giggle.
"yours, forever yours." yibo said, nodding with a smile.
xiao zhan heaved a gentle sigh, rubbing his nose against yibo's own. yibo happily received it but of course leaned in a little more until their lips were barely centimetres apart.
"i love you zhan-ge."
"i love you bo-di" xiao zhan returned and giggling, smiling into the kiss that was as gentle as falling snow.
yibo pulled the man impossibly closer and hummed at the feeling. he dove in and kissed the man gently but also until he was breathless.
xiao zhan emit a surprised noise and pulled away, looking into the yibos eyes again.
"wait, what about your schedule in Japan?" he asked, frowning.
"what about it? I finished it all before I came." he murmured, his arms still bound around xiao zhans waist.
"ah? in two days? hey...wang yibo." he started, staring into his eyes still.
"ge, you know sometimes you scare me when you address me like that." he sighed, pouting exaggeratedly.
"you....ugh. what did I say about doing things in moderation?" he snapped, rolling his eyes.
yibo groaned and nestled his face into xiao zhans neck. "see this is why gege needs to take his didi to geges bed so they can both get sleep and rest." he whined, pressing a soft kiss on his neck.
xiao zhan sighed, his hands naturally combing through the other mans hair. "fine. you get your way for tonight because I'm too tired to fight. but you bet your ass you'll be hearing from me in a couple hours." he groaned and dragged his boyfriend into the temporary bed. it was a little too narrow for the two of them, but they made it work by holding each other close and snug.
they both sighed in relief and shut their eyes instantly.
"goodnight zhan-ge." yibo said, yawning and pulling his lover closer.
xiao zhan opened his eyes slightly and giggled, pressing a soft kiss to his boyfriends lips. "goodnight bo-ge."
just like that the two of them snoozed off for the next 4 hours.
xiao zhan had already disappeared by 8am, letting his boyfriend rest a little longer in the trailer, joining him on set by midday.
"oh, who are you?" the production assistant asked, handing a bottle of water to xiao zhan as he sat on his standby chair, fan in his face.
yibo smirked under the mask, amused. "its fine if you dont know me even my boyfriend doesn't apparently."
"you mean girlfriend?" she asked, confused.
"sure."
xiao zhan spat out his water a little and coughed.
yibo laughed and stared at xiao zhan who was close to giving him a beating of his life.
still confused the assistant shrugged slightly and turned back to her main task.
"oh, is gege okay? does he need something apart from water? something to help his throat feel better?" he asked in a whisper as he leaned in towards xiao zhan's ear, smirking slyly.
xiao zhan sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "wang yibo!"
