Six Times a Charm

The first time they meet, it's quite by accident.

Wei Ying is at the grocery store, and he reaches for a green pepper at exactly the same time as a stranger. His pale long fingers brush up against Wei Ying’s and the sudden tripping of his heart running a non-existent marathon is far too distracting for Wei Ying to do anything other than smile politely and let go of said green pepper.

Intense golden eyes stare back at him, and Wei Ying suddenly feels very, very naked.

A kind of shriek leaves his mouth…it's the sort of sound a wounded animal makes, and those beautiful amber eyes look worried.

"Are you alright?" The man has a gorgeous voice too, and Wei Ying wants to die.

He nods mutely and runs away, too terrified in the stupid reactions of his body to think straight.

He's in the cereal aisle, frantically ringing Huaisang next, because whatever is going on in his chest, isn't normal.

"Huaisang! How do you know if you're having a heart attack?" He bursts out, impatiently.

He hasn't got time to greet his best friend; too often they don't even bother with pleasantries.

"Um…I dunno…sharp pain in the top half of your body?" Huaisang sounds unconcerned. There is the distinct sound of a flapping fan.

"That's not helpful!" Wei Ying snaps, trying to calm himself down.

"Wait! Let me go fish out that medical degree we both know I haven't got." Huaisang drawls, used to Wei Ying by now.

"Bitch! I could be dying!" Wei Ying wails.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spots the tall stranger turn into this same aisle and slow down suddenly.

That wounded animal sound comes out of his mouth again, and Wei Ying bolts into the drinks section.

This is a very good idea.

Alcohol fixes lots of problems.

"I think you're right, cats make those sorts of noises at night, when the rest of the world is asleep. Why don't you tell me from the start?" Huaisang says, and there's definitely amusement in his voice.

"I dunno…but I think I'm being stalked." Wei Ying whispers into his phone. "There's this guy…I think he's following me around the grocery store."

There's silence on the other side.

Wei Ying looks at his phone…but there's still the sound of his stupid fan.

And now, Wei Ying has a problem: he needs to reach up by climbing on the bottom shelf of this part in order to be able to reach the bottles of Emperor's Smile right at the top. There's only two left and Wei Ying needs them.

"Hang on, be right back." He slides the phone, still connected to Huaisang, into the pocket of his black hoodie.

He climbs up but that one little step isn't enough height and his fingers just graze the cool glass bottles. Just a little bit more…and oh no! He's falling and Wei Ying braces himself to fall…but two strong arms wrap around his waist.

Wei Ying opens his eyes to look into really worried golden eyes, and his entire face flushes a bright red. His stupid heart is convulsing in his chest like a fish out of water.

Someone should put the poor thing out of its misery…

The incredibly strong man puts Wei Ying down ever so gently, a slight crease between his gorgeous brows. Wei Ying wants to reach up with his thumb and erase it…it mars this beautiful face. He is unfairly good looking.
