Fluffy WangXian Oneshots

The Blue Gentian

Wei Ying looked at the second hand on the massive grandfather clock in the corner of the tattoo parlour and sighed. He knew wishing it would move faster didn't actually make it so...but a man could hope...

One whole hour was left before he could close up and tonight was slow with not many walk-ins either.

He looked around his pride and joy at the many pieces of art work covering the walls. One section was just black and white, while the rest of every available surface including the ceiling was an explosion of colour. From naked mermaids to various flowery skulls, religious symbols to icons, simple I-love-moms to angels and devils. There were wild animals, fangs drawn ready to bite, mythical beasts that ranged from multi-coloured unicorns to fiery dragons.

They offered a freehand service too for anyone who had the perfect image "in their heads" and Wei Ying had his own personal motto of attempting the impossible. He could draw anything from doodles to elaborate pieces which would take more than a few sessions.

He owned this store with Jiang Cheng, his brother in disguise and if love could be described as a coffee, then Wei Ying’s was black, no sugar.

The strongest kind without any frills.

That wasn't to say that they didn't bicker or not see eye to eye on many things, of course they did. But Wei Ying knew without a doubt that Jiang Cheng had his back no matter what and it was the same for him.

The door tinkled as their little silver bell alerted Wei Ying that a potential customer had walked in.

But when his silver eyes met beautiful amber ones shining with intensity, Wei Ying felt something shift in his chest.

"Good evening. And what may I do for you?" Wei Ying had several ideas, of what he wanted to do to him, and all of them were good...racy even...

But there was something not quite right...

Wei Ying couldn’t actually put his finger on it but-

The stranger thrust his phone right in front Wei Ying’s face, and Wei Ying had a struggle, dragging his eyes away from this perfect specimen of a human being. He really was gorgeous.

The picture on the phone was a delicate blue gentian flower.

"Um...so is this what you want?" Wei Ying lifted his eyes up again and lost his breath.

What was it about this guy?

Wei Ying had never felt like this before, like a giddy teenager standing in front of his crush. Pull yourself together, man, he told himself sharply and concentrated on what the stranger was saying.

"I want this."

Oh. My. God....his voice was like ripples of sweet dark syrup drenched over banana ice cream...complete with chocolate chips...Wei Ying wanted to giggle because that particular flavour was called monkey business...how apt...

But then, the more Wei Ying looked at him...he realised that there was something off.

This man wasn't quite focused, or at least it took him a few moments to really see Wei Ying.

Wei Ying stepped forward and took a discreet sniff....it was exactly as he suspected. There was the faintest trace of alcohol.

"Are you alright, sir?" Wei Ying asked him, noticing his eyes becoming darker at his last word.

He came around the corner and gently guided the beautiful man onto the bench on the side for clients who had to wait. Pushing him down was easy, but then as Wei Ying stood up, he realised that it wasn't so easy for Lan Zhan to keep looking up at him.
