Say My Name [ ZhanYi ]

"Say my name"

<<~>>

I...I had killed someone?

Yibo was in utter disbelief. He knew initially it was his plan to kill Haoxuan but he didn't knew it would end up like this. He couldn't stop staring at his bloodied hands and the bloodied knife which laid few inches away from him.

I'm a murderer?

He gasped feeling his hands shake as ever.
"No, collect yourself Wang Yibo! You've done it finally. It's over! You can finally be free, with Xiao Zhan!" He whispered to himself trying to stop his inner self naming him as a murderer.
But you have killed someone.
Yibo already had tears streaming down his face. He couldn't, how can he face Zhan now? After killing someone? How can he touch him again without feeling his hands have dirtied by his own actions.

He didn't knew why he suddenly remembered his mom or how he managed to recall how she died after he tried so many times before.

"You should've not taken money from a loan shark.''

"It's too late now okay..''

"What are we going to do then? What about Yibo?''

Once little Yibo heard his name call he ran up to his mom, unable to understand what they have been worried about so much. Before his mother could respond he bit down his yelp when their front door opened with a loud thud. He expected some kind of scary people to come inside but first a head of a boy was what he saw first. Yibo almost smiled seeing the other. But then few men came inside in black.

Yibo suddenly heard the door of the room banged open. He looked at the intruder knowing he must've probably exposed now. But once he looked up he couldn't look back down.
It was him.
He couldn't stop looking at the older who looked beautiful as ever. He couldn't believe such a ethereal person was once his to be called. The shining light ray which came to his life until he left him like the ungrateful person he was.s

Xiao Zhan himself was standing there with his panting breath—hitched seeing the person inside. They both kept their eyes locked on each other, unable to comprehend each other's situations.
For Zhan, it felt like relief, resent and everything he had feared clear away. He wasted no time running towards Yibo kneeling while crashing the other on a bone crushing hug. He couldn't care less about anything else at the point other than feeling the euphoria of being able to embrace the person whom he had missed for so long.

Yibo was caught off guard when Zhan hugged him like there's no tomorrow even when he saw how much blood he had been covered; Grimacing. He felt tears of the other on the shoulder. He wanted to console his crying gege but he was afraid he would make Zhan dirty. So he stayed frozen until abruptly Zhan broke the hug wiping his own tears.
Yibo watched as Zhan's confused gaze fell upon his blood soaked shirt and Haoxuan—who was lying on the floor, motionless.

"W-what happened?" Zhan asked not knowing what else to ask. Yibo looked back down at his hands unable to reply the other. He squeezed his eyes shut against the sting of sudden tears. Soon they were flowing down freely as ever.
"I-I I'm s-sorry" Yibo uttered as he roughly wipe away his tears. He heard the other's laugh ringing making him confused.

"Yah! I can't believe you are apologizing when I am here not being able to comprehend if this is reality that I finally met you again or a stupid dream of mine." Zhan said looking at Yibo with a glare. "Wait! Hit me. No just slap me. Then I'll be able to wake up from this dream and cry myself to sleep again."
Yibo smiled at Zhan's silliness.
"It's all true ge. I'm here and you are not dreaming and as well as I have created this mess." He whispered trying to stop his stupid tears from falling down.

Suddenly Zhan grabbed Yibo's wrists and dragged him towards the washroom which was attached to the room. Zhan opened the sink tap before letting the water wash away the drying blood on Yibo's hands. Yibo watched with astonishment unable to move.
"Your shirt is all ruined. I don't even have a spare one uhm.." Without completing his sentence—Zhan took off his coat and covered Yibo's shirt with it.
"That's better. Now don't you dare keep looking at it and reminisce all the things happened before. Wait until I buy you a new top so you could get rid of that thing." Zhan said as if advising his own son to not do something bad. Yibo was loss of words again.

They both stood by the balcony of the room they were in--both staring into the busy world under them. Yibo didn't knew how to answer Zhan saw he staid there quietly waiting till the older questions him. He waited and waited but he heard no words coming out from the other.

"Aren't you going to ask about... like everything?'' Zhan glanced at yibo and muttered, "It doesnt matter anyways.'' as the silence wrapped them around Zhan was only trying to find the courage to ask the question he wanted to ask.

"Did you forgive me?''

Yibo was taken aback by the question.
"For what?'' He retorted turning towards the other.

"For that day? For what I said?'' Yibo made a 'O' shape from his mouth and smiled soon.
"Of course! I was never angry about it you know.'' He chuckled making Zhan look at him, surprised.
"I figured it was just a lie to protect me while my life flash went on. So I was not angry at you other than those few seconds before realizing the true meaning of what you said.'' Yibo said looking at the older who was staring back at him as well.

"Wait, Say my name.'' Zhan asked turning fulling towards Yibo.
"Say what?'' Yibo asked chuckling.

"Just say my name.''

"Xiao Zhan.'' Replied Yibo still confused.
"Wahh it feels nice to hear that strange pronunciation after such a long time." Zhan said closing his eyes for a while as a smile ceased in his face.
"Wait...YOU NEVER TOLD ME I WAS PRONOUNCING IT WRONG ALL THIS TIME!" Yibo retorted widening his eyes.
"Well duh, I didn't want that cute pronunciation to stop." Zhan said still with closed eyes only wincing a little when he was directed with a light punch from the other

Though Zhan was a bit confused about that life flash part but he didn't care. Because at the moment he had the person he wanted more than anything next to him--smiling. He knew if they ever to be put on a situation like that ever again, he would never leave the other no matter what.

The more the more Yibo kept looking at the older the more he resembled the boy he met years before. He smiled even wider knowing they had met each other a long time ago too. And he knew from this time upon he won't feel that sadness washing over him even after reminiscing his mother.
