“You’re supposed to be studying.” Shen Wenlang grumbled as he reached over to flick his best friend’s cheek. The two of them were sprawled out side by side on the comfortable rug that Hua Yong insisted they get when they moved in. It wasn't missed on him that Hua Yong had been staring at him, more and more lately. He’d even woken a few nights to Hua Yong holding him which had been nice. Then there were the reassuring touches and taking care of him when he’d gotten sick two weeks ago. It’d been so long since he’d had affection like that, but he couldn’t stop the feeling that he shouldn’t. Hua Yong was so precious to him that he didn’t want to ruin their friendship with the emotions he refused to name. What if Hua Yong was just being his normal self? Taking care of him like he knew his papa had asked the enigma to do.
“I’m studying what I want.” Hua Yong gave back with his usual playful tone.
“My English notes should be what you’re focusing on.” Shen Wenlang spoke in perfect english before laughing, knowing that Hua Yong hated when he didn’t excel quickly. Though nothing seemed to keep his brilliant brain from learning whatever he desired. His thoughts slowed as he realized that Hua Yong wasn’t answering and the enigma’s gaze was focused on his mouth.
“Maybe you should just teach me instead.” Hua Yong finally answered back in english, lifting his gaze. The look was dark and intensely focused on Shen Wenlang. The enigma’s annunciation was a little off but that didn’t make the weight of his tone or word choice any lighter. Shen Wenlang found it suddenly a little harder to breathe as his heart started pounding in his chest.
Hua Yong had been trying to resist the urge to kiss his best friend for the last two weeks. The pull towards Shen Wenlang was a rope pulled taut since he’d taken care of Shen Wenlang when he’d gotten sick. His alpha had been so adorable and let himself just be taken care of; Shen Wenlang’s stubbornness to let anyone care for him when he cared so much about the people he let in was fierce. Hua Yong couldn’t help at the time but felt special to be chosen.
That resulted in him unable to stop looking at the alpha. He adored the dark eyes, soft lips, and sharp jaw. Shen Wenlang was beautiful and his scent matched. Fresh irises after the rain. Honestly he could tuck his face into the s-class alpha’s neck for days and it still wouldn’t be enough. His gaze dropped to watch Shen Wenlang swallow hard.
“Yo-” Shen Wenlang started to speak his name but stopped as Hua Yong pressed his fingertips against his lips. Hua Yong licked his own lips as he traced Shen Wenlang’s with his pointer finger. Shen Wenlang only had a mere second to process the touch as Hua Yong’s hand moved to cup his cheek before he was being kissed. A gentle press that had Shen Wenlang gasping softly. His mind was trying catch up with how much he wanted another kiss to the fact his best friend was in fact kissing him.
“Yong..”
“I like you.” Hua Yong confessed, pulling back to meet Shen Wenlang’s gaze; which happened to be brief as Shen Wenlang turned his face away. He took in the deep flush to his alpha’s pale skin, the way he was breathing, and how that he wasn’t being shoved off. The darkest part of him also noticed how Shen Wenlang had unintentionally exposed the expanse of neck. His gums ached where his fangs wanted to descend. He held himself back, focusing on Shen Wenlang’s scent. Amongst the iris was anxiety, confusion, and desire.
“Do you…”
“I like you too.” Shen Wenlang confessed before his mind could stop him, saying the words so fast that they barely made sense.
"Please look at me, Wenlang when you say those words to me.” Hua Yong smiled, fondly and waiting patiently. He’d made out what the alpha had said but he wanted it clearly, confidently with Shen Wenlang meeting his gaze.
Shen Wenlang swallowed hard, licking his lips as he forced himself to turn his head to meet the other’s gaze. Those dark eyes seemed even more intense now. His poor heart wasn’t going to be able to take much more.
“I like you too, Yong.” Shen Wenlang stated, this time much slower. The moment the words were out, Hua Yong’s pheromones bloomed in joy at his response. Hua Yong leaned back in pressing another kiss to his lips just as gentle then another and another. Lost to the flurry of tender kisses, Hua Yong leaned in further to guide Shen Wenlang on his back. Their studies were forgotten especially as Hua Yong moved to settle on top of the alpha.
A perfect fit just like Hua Yong had been dreaming of. He gently removed Shen Wenlang’s glasses, setting them aside so that they didn’t get mistreated as they made out. “Good because as much as I love being your best friend, I’m going to love being your boyfriend.”
“I did-” Shen Wenlang started to argue but the words were lost as Hua Yong kissed him passionately. A dance of tongue and nipping at the alpha’s upper lip. At first the alpha was stunned but quickly melted while also giving back just as much as Hua Yong. His hands making their way up into Hua Yong’s sweater, fingers clutching the buttery soft knit fabric.
“You’re mine, say it.” Hua Yong breathed against his lips, eyes glowing pink when he pulled back to take in the mussed sight of Shen Wenlang.
“Yours.” Shen Wenlang panted, stubbornly whispering it and if Hua Yong wasn’t an enigma he wouldn’t have heard it.
“Louder, Wolfie.” Hua Yong urged, needing to hear it clearly.
Shen Wenlang swallowed the lump in his throat that had formed at the pools of want in the enigma’s eyes. Could he have this and there be no regrets? Hua Yong made him feel brave so he licked his lips. “I’m yours, Hua Yong. You can’t take it back. I’ll kill you if you do..” Shen Wenlang slowly but clearly stated as he moved his right hand to cup the enigma’s cheek, guiding him back down for another kiss. It was one that was reverently soft with his hand moving up to cup the enigma’s nape. At that touch, a pulse swelled between them, and Hua Yong moaned. Their pheromones flooded their dorm room intensely. A thick veil of desire over them.
“Wenlang, I’m never going to regret choosing you..” Hua Yong stated boldly before capturing the others lips in a kiss that left no room for doubt.
A Few Days Later
Hua Yong usually didn’t have a problem with having peace and quiet here in his favorite spot in the library. It wasn’t one of the private rooms like he preferred but it was in the stacks that weren’t often visited. He had just started working on his English paper when he heard some soft giggling followed by whispering to the left of him. His left eye twitched as he recognized the scents before they’d even spoken properly.
It was Wu Zhi and Su Ming. The two omegas shared a dorm room on the same floor as Shen Wenlang and him. Hua Yong had barely seen one without the other. Turning his head he was able to see the two. Su Ming from beneath the nose down while Wu Zhi had his back against the stacks.
“Did you see his lips?” Su Ming giggled softly, bringing their almond shaped acrylic nails to press to their own lips.
“They looked kiss swollen as he’d left the locker room.” Wu Zhi, a deeper timber than Su Ming’s. There was a pleased sweetness in their scents as they spoke.
“Soft and plush.” Su Ming added, a flush blooming on their cheeks and neck.
“Even his splotchy blush was adorable. All that lovely skin.” Wu Zhi supplied more about whomever they were gossiping about. It didn’t narrow it down despite the amount of students in their first year. A lot of the students that attended the private school were from wealthy families. A lot of them knew each other before arriving. Which had been how Hua Yong and Shen Wenlang came to be going here together. His late mother and Shen Wenlang’s papa were childhood friends so it was only natural that Uncle Ying would want them to go to the same high school.
“Wen Rong has to be the luckiest beta alive for being kissed by Shen Wenlang.” Su Ming said with awe in their tone not bothering to truly whisper. They must have assumed they were alone. “What if they start dating?”
“Just because they kissed doesn’t mean they will, you big romantic.” Wu Zhi laughed softly.
“But they’d be so cute together. They both like basketball and…” Su Ming’s voice was lost as Hua Yong tried to comprehend what he had just heard.
Shen Wenlang? His Shen Wenlang with Wen Rong? That’s who these two thought had abused his alpha’s pretty lips? He smiled, while on the inside he was laughing in amusement. His gaze shifted to his phone that he’d left face down to keep from being distracted. This is the perfect time to be distracted. Hua Yong thought before reaching over to check his messages. Sure enough there were several from his boyfriend.
🐺 Wolfie 🐺
You are such an ass!
You let me go to practice with my face like this!
You’re my soulmate but that doesn’t mean you get to maul me all the damn time.
I heard zero complaints
And you’re mine, Wolfie. I’ll never
Not want to kiss you.
🖕You’re not forgiven and will be sleeping on your own damn bed tonight
The team teased me so much!
Hua Yong laughed at the threat. He wasn’t the one that would end up sneaking into bed with him later. Shen Wenlang didn’t like sleeping alone even before they’d dated. So he’d be patient, wait for the alpha to come to him, then kiss him goodnight.
