Be with you but gay and Hanbing

FIVE

And then they were roommates with fake benefits! 

Me six years ago: Nah I don’t ever want to be one of those authors that basically write self satisfying porn, it’s all about the  feelings in fanfiction.

Now: How many times can I discreetly reference Hanyu’s fictional (or maybe not) wonder dick and god bod without actually writing pure porn?

Basically, I try really hard not to make them have sleep sex and instead it comes out as Hanyu appreciation. It’s getting further away from “be with you” because I can't watch that sop anymore and occasionally skip watch to steal romantic ideas, and Yanxu is having a whole lotta dirty thoughts about his fake boyfriend.

There was something in his bed. It did not take a genius to realise that the thing in the guest bed was alive, but the size of it puzzled Gao Yu, because he felt more space was taken up than if Qi Bo had jumped up, yet he still had loads of room. Qi Bo liked to curl up on the bed when he left the door open, and it was quite nice to feel the rhythmic purrs and the warmth of the huge cat through the night, so if it was the cat, it did not bother him. However, when he pushed the covers off and opened his eyes properly, it was none other than his technically roommate, professor Ji Yanxu, clinging to his naked body like a sloth does to the tree branch when they sleep. Except this big sloth had found a very awkward branch to hug! Never again would the single sloth pole sleep in anything less than pants as long as he lived with the clingy insomniac, or their fake relationship might get real.

Yanxu had finally gone to sleep without the aid of his pills, but foolishly had not been prepared for sleeping terror Xu-Er to ruin the peace of his natural sleep, and his comrade in lying Gao Yu. In the middle of the night, when everyone was sound asleep and extremely unaware of anything, he had sleep walked right into the guest bedroom, following the scent of labdanum and cedarwood that seemed to define the other man, masculine yet sophisticated. Then he proceeded to cling on his right bicep and literally curl around the naked torso and thick thighs without realising that there was nothing in between their bodies except the psychologists thin linen pants and shirt, because the warmth and muscly temptation was too much to ignore in his inebriated state. Even when he woke up from the sunlight coming in the floor to ceiling windows, he had to admire the taunt muscles and line of fine dark hair that disappeared like a tease beneath the sheets covering his lower half. In stark contrast with the unrefined sexuality of his body, the new short haircut and freedom of sleep had relaxed the faint wrinkles on his forehead and gave him a look of childish innocence.

“Yanxu, no, Xu-Er, can you get up please? I need to use the bathroom and then get ready to negotiate with my landlord, because you want me to move in, and I really should call my boss to change the address on the company contact list. An ordinary man needs to do more than think about something for it to follow through, we cannot all be like you and yeye.”, Gao Yu pleaded, feeling the day creep away while he laid there naked under the bed sloth. He really needed to talk to his landlady, and while it would not take long to pack everything since he stored his possessions in boxes as a regular method of organisation, but what he could not say as that he had to drop by work and check if he was losing his job or not this fresh work competition. The comic had been submitted, and if the judges did not find Bai Yutong and Zhan Yao as charming as he thought, then Kido was done for and it was back to the gym as a personal trainer or full time housekeeping for Yanxu to pay the bills. One of the good things about moving in was that he would not have to spend his savings on rent when he failed to earn enough on comics, since his wage could be given back as rent if necessary. The relief when the professor took his cuddling self off him and left to use his own shower was sizable, and the poor cartoonist wondered if he should reconsider keeping his share in the apartment, for the sake of hiding his impressive virgin body from the sleepy wolf.
