Do you know that feeling when you're just a kid and your parents took you to the candy store but you couldn't have the biggest and prettiest candy cause it might give you cavities but you wanted it nonetheless Fuck!!!!! you freaking wanted it. You wanted to have that sweet taste in your mouth, devour all of it until you were full and not share it with anyone cause it was only yours or atleast maybe yours cause if it was still on sale that meant it didn't belong to anyone so technically it was yours and you didn't want anyone but you to have it BUT despite of it being so near it still seemed like it was far?
That is exactly how Quang Ho felt. During dinner all he did was stare at Lu Feng. He studied every feature on the lad's face his small full lips, his flat pointed noise, unblemished cheeks,his eyes.
Lu Feng had blue eyes just like Hao Tieng but his were a bit darker. Whereas Hao Tieng's were deep sky blue, Lu Feng's were azure blue.
Quang Ho also noticed the slight crinkle in Lu Feng's eyes whenever he smiled. Was it even possible for a 150year old Dragon to look this gorgeous? The redhead also couldn't help getting a little jealous of Bing Wen. Bing Wen and Lu Feng seemed to be in a heated conversation. Lu Feng seemed to smile at whatever the warlock said which greatly angered the redhead. He couldn't get a chance at dinner to talk with the lad and now that they're outside Lu Feng seemed like he didn't even care about the redhead's existence.
'Why would he even care? I'm just a stranger afterall.' Quang Ho thought. He then stood up and announced he was going for a walk since they already decided they were staying the night.
Meanwhile a certain Quadbrid was emitting a very strong and deadly aura especially during dinner after Hao Tieng announced his good news. He was supposed to be happy that his mate connected with his Dragon form but surprisingly he wasn't. He wanted to be the first person Hao Tieng told but the fact that Bing Wen knew it before he did made his blood boil. He tried coaxing himself into thinking that because the blonde is Hao Tieng's bestie that's why he knew before him but that didn't work. It just made him angrier. He looked at the people around him, Mrs. Xiu had a disappointed expression on her 20 year old looking face despite being five centuries old.
Yung Jen, Yung Tang and Lin Mie(Hao Tieng's sister) were enjoying a bottle of Scotch, Lu Feng and Bing Wen we're having a conversation but it seemed like Lu Feng wasn't really into it cause his eyes would ocassionally glance at where Quang Ho had disappeared to , he then glared at his brother's empty seat. He had seen his brother sneaking glances towards Lu Feng and Lu Feng doing the same during and after dinner. Although he had the power to pry into their thoughts and find out why the two were sneaking glances at each other, he had his own love life to care about.
He then glanced over at the man he was now surely madly in love with. If you had asked him a few months ago if it was possible to fall in love with someone in just a short period of time, he would've called you dumb, naive and would've said it's impossible. But now that he was experiencing it himself, he wondered if he was dumb, naive or if Hao Tieng felt the same. He just wasn't sure of Hao Tieng's feelings towards him. Sure they had done some pretty intimate things with each other and Hao Tieng always made the first move but in all those situations Gang Zhi couldn't help but feel like Hao Tieng was using him. The first time they kissed, Hao Tieng wanted to chase away his bitchy ex. The second time, Hao Tieng was just lonely and the third time, Hao Tieng wanted to connect with his Dragon so technically he was kinda using him, right?
No matter how many negative thoughts he had, he wasn't going to give up on Hao Tieng even if there was a chance that he didn't feel the same. After all they had the rest of their immortal lives to fall in love.
Hao Tieng had his eyes closed wondering why Gang Zhi suddenly changed into a grumpy man when he told everyone his good news. 'Why is he angry?' Hao Tieng mused. He didn't understand why the immortal's aura suddenly turned deadly after mentioning he had connected with his Dragon. 'Isn't he supposed to be happy for me? Then why did he get mad all of a sudden.' he mused once again. Whatever it is that is bothering the immortal, he was determined to find out.
Hao Tieng was still deep into his thoughts when he heard that ever-so-slightly supercilious voice say his name. He didn't waste a second, opening his eyes, he locked eyes with the immortal which sent chills down his spine. "Yes" he blurted out.
"Can we talk?" Gang Zhi asked still emanating a deadly aura.
"Sure." the moment Hao Tieng's reply fell into his ears, he sprouted out his wings, carried Hao Tieng and flew off.
Gang Zhi gently placed Hao Tieng down next to the creek. "This is beautiful." he heard Hao Tieng say.
"hmmmm" he replied with a hum. The place really was beautiful but that wasn't the reason why they had come here and he really wasn't in a romantic mood.
"What's wrong?" Hao Tieng asked sensing the almost visible tension in the air.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Gang Zhi started "Why didn't you tell me you had connected with your dragon?" he asked
"Cause I wanted to tell you along with everyone." Hao Tieng answered
"But Bing Wen knew before me. He knew before I did." Gang Zhi said running his hands through his hair
"That's because Lu Feng told him." Hao Tieng answered understanding why Gang Zhi's mood suddenly changed. 'He's jealous.' he mused fighting a smile.
"When I changed, you're the first person I wanted to tell but I didn't want to do it over the phone. When you called I was so excited to invite you over but then you said you're having a family dinner so I decided to invite your siblings too cause I know you wanted to mend your relationship with your brother and family is important but I was so impatient. I wanted to see you again. Cause I missed you and I wanted to tell you that I" Hao Tieng hesitated for a second "I love you Gang Zhi. I know that I've only known you for a short time but I love you and it's okay if you don't feel the same cause I'l-----" Hao Tieng couldn't finish his words when his lips were captured by the immortal for a sensual kiss.
