Loyalty - MoShang

N-nightfall hides many secrets

Shang Qinghua reached Qing Jing peak with a flustered look on his face. He hadn't seen the time pass and had to rush his way over to his friend's home. He was panting as he stumbled to the door of the bamboo house. The cool night air tickled his nose and made his cheeks tingle. He reached toward the sliding door to open it, but it flew open before he could touch it. Shen Qingqiu stood in the doorway, a look of dismay on his features.

"Ah, Cucumber bro."

"Aiyah, what took you so long? I thought I would have to drag you here myself."

Shen Qingqiu rubbed his temples in frustration before taking hold of his friend's wrist and leading him inside. They entered Shen Yuan's study and sat at his desk. Multiple jars of wine were neatly piled on the floor beside the table. The two sat on the soft, velvety cushions that Shen Qingqiu had prepared in advance. It didn't take them long to drop the formalities and simply grab one of the dark porcelain jars. Shang Qinghua felt his muscles relax as he took a sip of the alcohol.

"Ah, do you ever feel tempted to just reveal everything about our transmigration?"

"Yeah, there are so many things I wish I could show Binghe. I wonder what his favorite soda would be?"

Shang Qinghua chuckled at the blush that spread across Shen Qingqiu's cheeks whenever he spoke of his lover.

"You really do love him."

"What?! Where did that come from? I mean yeah sure he's handsome I guess..."

Shen Qingqiu turned as red as Luo Binghe's demon mark.

"Geez, I feel bad for him."

"What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Oh, nothing." Shang Qinghua rolled his eyes. "Anyways I think Luo Binghe's favorite soda would definitely be Monster."

"Really? I think Coke suits him best."

"Is it because of the colors?"

Shang Qinghua eyed the man who took another sip from his liquor.

"Yeah, probably. Mountain Dew would totally be OG Shen Qingqiu's favorite."

Shang Qinghua laughed heartily at the pointlessness of their current conversation.

"Absolutely! And Mobei Jun would for sure drink Red bull but frozen. Oh, but maybe blue Gatorade would suit him better...?"

The brunette took another sip.

"I feel like Mobei Jun would drink his coffee black."

Shen Qingqiu giggled; his face flushed as the alcohol began to take effect.

"Or just straight up eat the coffee grounds."

Shang Qinghua exclaimed, chugging down the rest of his wine.

"Damn, I'll never get used to how strong they make this stuff."

Shen Qingqiu scoffed at the comment.

"And I thought wine was supposed to have a lower alcohol dosage. This is just straight-up liquor, why bother calling it something else?"

The brunette opened another jar as his friend finished his first.

"I'll miss going out to clubs. Speaking of which, it's a shame the only music we can listen to is those traditional pieces."

"I'm going to miss Taylor Swift and Harry Styles."

Shen Yuan gave a sigh as he drank the last of his beverage. The brunette looked at his friend incredulously.

"That's the kind of music you listened to? Damn, I was listening to Doja Cat and Macklemore."
