Chapter 12 - Apocalypse 12

An hour ago, inside the room...Yichen was pacing around the room, fretting. His hands clasped together with his thumb caressing his other fingers. He's worried that his subconscious move before made the man upset, but he also can't control it. It was too fast, in the blink of an eye, he already lived in the man's house.But...The man's face and faint, but gentle smile flashed in his mind. His cheeks tinted with blush. His lips pursed as his eyes looked at the closed door. He admits that he fell in love with the man at first sight. The moment he entered the room to report his mission, he saw the man sitting leisurely, sipping his tea. The man raised his face and he was immediately drawn to the man's deep eyes. They look like a rainy clouds, cold and almost inhumane. But the moment their eyes met, there seems to be some sparks in those eyes and his heart thumped. He was fascinated.Then those eyes lowered, hiding those sparks. For the rest of the time he's there, the man didn't pay attention to him anymore as he enjoy his tea.But since that day, the man seems to glance at him from time to time. When the man talked to him for the first time, only he knows how fast his heart beats. Its thumping like a deer. Then on the very incident that made him arrived in this situation...He was surrounded by zombies, his energy were depleted at a fast pace. He can't use his ability anymore when one zombie scratched his arm and then, a sharp sight sets on him. When he looked at the source with alert, he saw a black shadow flew to his position and the next thing he know is he's in the man's arms. With a wave of his hand, the zombies that corner him were squished to the ground. Qing Yue, the one I protect when I still worked as QIng family's bodyguard were sent flying by an invincible force, along with his lover, Chu Yang. The world seems raging and he was in a panic. He quickly looked up and what he saw honestly fascinate him. The man's face were cold, as if frosted with ice. But his actions is as hot as raging fire. When the world rumbles, the man looked up with anger. At that time, he has an urge to stop the man. His intuition told him to stop the man or everything is over. And his intuition is never wrong.He hugged the man's neck and called his name, hoping to receive the same reaction as the first time I called him, but what I receive is more than what I expect.The man's raging anger instantly cooled down. His frosty eyes melted down and he can see his own reflection in those cloudy eyes. At that time, he shamefully feel happiness. The joy in his heart reached its peak when the man worried about him and replied to his finger-hooking with a generous palm.Then in the car, the man boldly kidnapped him and even asked those questions...If they sleep in the same bed...Yichen's face were flushed red. He crouched down and hid his red face behind his palm. He's ashamed of his perverted thoughts.Knock, knock--"Yichen, the food's ready. Come eat."A low and magnetic voice was heard faintly through the door.Yichen's earlobes turned redder. He replied to the man, "Yes."His voice were small and even trembled, but the door filtered the sound. Yichen took a deep breath and cooled down for a while before opening the door and walked downstairs. His heart thumped nervously....Yichen stops after seeing the sumptous dinner table. His eyes widened slightly and his stomach growls on cue. Faint blush appeared on his stoic face. Haoyu smiled, "You're here. Come sit and eat any dish you like. Don't hold back, I cook a lot of these.""Hm..."Yichen hummed softly and sat in front of Haoyu. Haoyu immediately take a plate and scoop a rice to it, then placed it in front of Yichen. He also placed various dishes closer to Yichen so he can reach it easily. After doing all this, he finally scoop a rice for himself. Yichen were silently looked at him getting busy with a red cheeks.Yichen eat the first dish and went silent for a few seconds. Then his spoon goes all around the table and stuffed his mouth silently, munching his food without even looking at Haoyu. Seeing this, a small smile hung on Haoyu's lips. His eyes narrowed in satisfaction. Yichen's reaction told him that he had win his stomach.Won't be long before I got his heart too.Next... consistent care and comfort will be a good way to achieve that.Haoyu is determined to get his other half's heart. He can force the guy to stay with him, but Haoyu doesn't want that. He wants the guy to choose to be with him willingly. If he choose others even after I try, then I'll focus on the tasks and ensure he's happy through out his life.Unfulfilled fate has a heavy consequence.Such pain and consequence won't kill me. Although fate wants us to be together, if Yichen doesn't want to, even fate can't do anything about it.The burden will fall on himself, but he's willing to bear it. His eyes fell onto the man busy munching his food. A sweet and warm feeling soaked his soul, comforting its earlier pain. His eyes sees through the man's mortal bodies, his soul beaming with energy and purity.Such soul deserved to be pampered and adored.That's what Haoyu believes.While Yichen were busy eating, the closet in the master bedroom moved. Clothes and all Haoyu's stuffs floats to the slowly opening door. It entered the door of the bedroom next door and organized itself neatly inside. Haoyu used his space ability to move things quietly when Yichen didn't pay attention. He wants Yichen to feel as comfortable as possible. Although disappointed that they can't sleep together, he still prioritize Yichen's need after all.What a pity...Haoyu sighed silently. Then Yichen suddenly spoke."It's okay..."Hm?Feeling his gaze, Yichen continued in a softer voice, almost whispering. His eyes looked at the food on his plate."Sleeping t-together... is okay..."Af if saying that exhausted all his courage, Yichen buried himself in his food. His bulging cheeks were red.Haoyu blinked a few times, his brain processed the information for a few seconds. Then with a sharp eyes, he used his ability to return his stuff back to the master bedroom. "I see."Haoyu replied with a gentle tone, then resumed eating his food. The sense of loss and pity in his heart completely disappeared and replaced by happiness and joy.Yichen who don't know Haoyu's chaotic mental activity were busy distracting himself with the food in front of him in a futile attempt of calming his thumping heart. Whatever happened in that room later, Yichen wants to prepare his mentality and energy first. I need to take a bath and prepare too...Two individuals with different thoughts were eating harmoniously. Although their thoughts are not in the same road, the presence of each other still make them feel a soul-level of comfort and happiness. .....Haoyu sat on the small sofa inside the master bedroom, reading a book with a casual, almost lazy posture. His face were stoic, his earlobes were red as he hears the sound of water inside the bathroom.That's right. Haoyu is currently waiting for Yichen who take a shower first. This situation kind of stimulating Haoyu who's love live is almost nonexistent throughout his long life.Nothing will happen tonight, but the atmosphere makes it seems like there'll be something happening tonight.Haoyu closed his eyes, trying to get rid of the weird thoughts. The bathroom door opened and right when Haoyu opened his eyes, a man wrapped in bathrobe blessed his sight. His hair were wet its tips stuck on his rosy cheeks. Water droplets swim through his jaw, passing by the cute adam's apple, then disappeared into the bathrobe. The stimulation were so great that Haoyu malfunctions again."You can go in now..."Yichen looked away shyly, sending another damage to Haoyu. With a blank face, Haoyu hummed and went into auto mode. His body walked into the bathroom and take a shower. This is the place he washed his body with...When his blank eyes looked at the soap and shampoo bottle, another thought flashed by.He used the same one on his body and hair...Everything inside the bathroom he had used for a long time now seems to be filled with another person's traces and smell. Haoyu lowered his head with water fells on him. He realized the perverted thoughts flashing in his mind one after another.This is bad...His hand clenched into a fist and rest on his pursed lips. His eyes were now tinted with helplessness.His influence on me is stronger than I thought......When Haoyu climbed the bed, Yichen's body visibly stiffened under the blanket. Haoyu noticed this. He took another blanket from the small cabinet and lay on the edge of the bed, distancing himself as far as possible from Yichen to make him feel comfortable.Yichen's body slowly relaxed. He looked back and was stunned by how far Haoyu is."Haoyu...""Hm?""You'll fall..."Yichen touched Haoyu's blanket and grab it closer. "Come closer."Haoyu's heart entered spring. He followed Yichen's strength and they finally lay closer, face to face. Yichen looked at his eyes, then look away instantly as if scorched by his gaze. His cheeks turned rosy."Good night."Yichen's voice tickled his eardrums. Seeing his closed eyes, Haoyu touched his hand lightly. Yichen didn't move, letting him do what he want. Not until Haoyu wrapped Yichen's hand in his that he sighed contently."Good night..."He whispered, then drifted to dreamland.......?"Huh?"Yichen opened his eyes in doubt. When he see Haoyu who sleep soundly, he entered a newfound shock.Just like that?!I thought! I... thought...?His eyes widened when something popped into his mind.Did I... get ahead of myself?How embarrassing!His entire face became hot. He quickly closed his eyes, trying to sleep. His toes curled in shame. The darkness and the man's breathing gradually filled his red ears. Yichen nuzzled into his pillow. He looked at the man's sleeping face and slowly closed his eyes.As his nerves relaxed, the calm and stable breathing of the man next to him dragged his consciousness to slumber.Huu-- Huu--The man who was supposed to sleep opened his eyes slightly. He looked at Yichen with a dark eyes, swirled with desire and restrain. He tightened his hand wrapping Yichen's as he observed his face.His eyelashes were long, his lips were pink, pursed in uneasiness. His eyebrows frowned slightly. Haoyu reached out and smoothed the frown, then caressed his cheek. Not yet... I need to be patient.The two sleep and go through their first night together peacefully.
