Blueberries for Breakfast

It was a hot day at the zoo. Lan Zhan unlocked the gates and parked his car, returning to lock the gates again. Then he sighed, because there was loud music playing out of the open window of a very familiar Volkswagon Beetle.

The car itself was a lime green monstrosity, with orange and white teeth painted all along the edge.

Loud and ostentatious, exactly like its owner.

"Lan Zhan??" Wei Ying jumped out of his car and ran towards him.

Lan Zhan turned to face him, waiting patiently because they both knew there was no point in him trying to walk away by pretending that he hadn't heard him, because Wei Ying's persistence was legendary.

Once again, Lan Zhan was blown away by how amazing Wei Ying looked. How one man could manage to look simultaneously hot and dishevelled at the same time was beyond him.

Today, Wei Ying’s t-shirt was half tucked in and half hanging out, the top two buttons open and his deliciously tempting collarbone on display. And today, Wei Ying was wearing shorts.

Everything about that was...so wrong...and...so right...and Lan Zhan wanted to go and bury himself in the men's bathroom to avoid having to look at him...and not push him up against the nearest available flat surface.

It really wasn't fair!

Lan Zhan clenched his fists as Wei Ying came right up close to him.

He breathed in through his teeth because that tantalising, wonderful floral scent of lotus flowers was drifting towards him and Lan Zhan thought he might last no more than two minutes at this rate.

"Wait for me!" Wei Ying shouted, coming to a standstill right in front of him.

As though Lan Zhan could control his feet in any way? Ha! As if thoughts were possible at all...

"Correct dress code is imperative for a professional zookeeper." Lan Zhan said, instead of, please marry me.

"Oh...um...haha...you're right, Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying hastily tucked his t-shirt in, accidentally lifting it up so that Lan Zhan got a flash of those superbly lean abs, cut to perfection.

What would they taste like?

He hoped Wei Ying wouldn't notice his ears, which felt as hot as a flaming torch.

"I rushed out of the house today." He reached deep into the pockets of his shorts and pulled out a handful of blueberries. "Would you like to share my breakfast?" He held it towards Lan Zhan hopefully, looking disappointed when Lan Zhan shook his head in alarm.

"Wei Ying has not had breakfast?" Lan Zhan asked him, eyes wide in disapproval. "Again?"

"Ah...Lan Zhaaaan! Don't look at me like that! You know how Madam Yu gets and besides, I overslept this morning so there wasn't any time. Man, that exam is busting my balls, I kid you not." He sighed.

"Are you really going for it?" Lan Zhan asked.

He wanted Wei Ying to succeed...but if he passed, then that certainly meant Wei Ying would no longer be working at this zoo.

"Yeah..." Wei Ying poured the remaining blueberries into his mouth, chewing quickly. "I figure, if I go into the welfare aspect of looking after animals, I can make a real difference, right? Plus I have all these ideas swimming around in my head about research and how to improve their lives in captivity, you know?" Wei Ying continued chatting as they walked into the facility. "I wouldn't even mind going into the education aspect of it."

Lan Zhan could listen to him talking all day.

He had a mellow voice that made stars explode in Lan Zhan’s chest. It was both cheery and melodious, and Lan Zhan couldn't ever imagine not hearing it when he came in to work. Wei Ying was to Lan Zhan the equivalent of ordinary people's caffeine fix first thing in the morning.
