    Summary

    One inhale, half an exhale, and Yibo is all around him, moulding himself into the planes and curves of Xiao Zhan’s entire being.
    Baobao. No one has hugged me since you left.
    It feels like he is breathing in oxygen for the first time in a month. Yibo’s heart, thumping against Xiao Zhan’s, feels like home.

    The metal of the panther pendant digs into Xiao Zhan’s chest as Yibo envelops him in a soul-crushing hug.

    Over the last weeks, since Xiao Zhan’s shaky hands fastened the clasp, Yibo has not taken the necklace off, not even once.

    The emotions surging under his breastbone, every time he has seen the chain worship the smoothness of Yibo's gazelle neck, have now tightened fast, secure, palpable around Xiao Zhan’s own, like he is the one being collared.

    For a while now, Xiao Zhan's and Wang Yibo’s orbits have been aligning, fate whispering the other’s name in passing. Now, when their paths finally collide, sparks are sure to fly.

    Or, the one where Businessman Xiao Zhan finally signs Yibo for an endorsement, meaning he is no longer duty-bound to keep his hands to himself.
