It had been a long hard week, he had a very important meeting that forced him to take a trip overseas. Unfortunately, it was right in the middle of the most exciting part of the game. But he had made enough backup plans, in case anything went wrong.
He still did feel an ache, his heart empty even though him and Xiaoshuai had shared cute messages every now and then, having to leave right after he got the softest taste of the man he had chased for almost two years now was brutal.
There was nothing Guo Chengyu wanted to do more than run to the clinic and pick up Xiaoshuai and twirl him around before kissing him silly.
Unfortunately, he could not ignore the bone deep exhaustion. Forget picking up Xiaoshuai, Chengyu was sure he would simply pass out before he even steps out of the car. So he chose to go home, it was 5pm by the time he reached home.
Chengyu sent Xiaoshuai a small message, letting him know he was home, and promptly showered to pass out on the bed comfortably.
The sun had gone down, the night chill spreading through the air as the young doctor walked the gravel his hands carrying bags of delicious smelling dinner, reaching the door of his boyfriends home. A self-satisfied smile on his face as he unlocked it with the spare key he got from Li Wang.
His steps were quiet, inferring from the dark silence that Chengyu was likely sleeping. He turned on the lights, glancing around before tracking Chengyu down to the bedroom, he was curled in on the bed, his arms wrapped around a pillow holding it close, his pajama top discarded on the floor leaving him only in the pajama shorts.
Xiaoshuai patted his hair, sneaking into the bed and laying beside the man, his man, admiring the sleeping face.
The week had been too long and passed in a blur, what with the things with Wu Suowei and the wanting to see Chengyu again. Chengyu sent him messages with his selfies, acting cute, and Xiaoshuai had… he had wanted to kiss him again so bad.
He had spent so long rejecting Chengyu despite being attracted to him and now that he did have Chengyu, it was like a dam had burst open, leaving Xiaoshuai very needy and almost desperate. He had touched himself almost every night with the memories of Chengyu’s hands on his back and the soft feeling of his lips against his own.
The gentleness had left him wanting more but unable to ask, the feelings already intense with that chaste kiss. He could still remember how fast his heart was beating, the warmth spreading through his chest like warm soup on a cold night, warming him up with comfort.
Now Chengyu lay in front of him, defenseless and cosier than he had ever seen him before, his hair was messy, he clearly hadn’t dried his hair before going to bed and Xiaoshuai would scold him for that when he wakes up.
For now, he let his hands caress Chengyu’s head, light enough to not wake him. Smiling gently when Chengyu leaned into his hand, not waking up.
Cute.
Chengyu was too cute when he wasn’t posing around like a proud peacock and allowed himself to look soft. Xiaoshuai didn’t have it in him to wake Chengyu for dinner so he cancelled all plans of dinner together, instead admiring his boyfriends sleeping face.
He couldn’t help himself and leaned in to press a gentle kiss on Chengyu’s forehead. The smell of lavender from Chengyu’s shampoo filling his lungs as he took a deep breath, pulling himself together instead of falling further into the simmering need in his heart.
Guo Chengyu felt gentle hands in his hair, combing through his hair gently. He could hear the soft breathing of the person next to him, the consistency would occasionally be interrupted by a soft sigh. He held back a smile, realising Xiaoshuai had come to visit him.
Warmth flooded his chest as he realised Xiaoshuai had missed him just as much and wanted to see him just as badly.
Ah, his little boyfriend was simply too cute.
He felt the soft kiss on his forehead and wanted to pull Xiaoshuai closer down to kiss him properly but exhaustion grabbed him again, pulling him back to sleep.
