Once again he hears a reprimand from his boyfriend. It had been a year since they had been in a relationship, but even so, it seemed that Xiao Zhan was overprotective in places. Though... it wasn't that he didn't like it. It was just that he felt that if it really went on like this, he would spoil him too much. And he didn't want that.
Who would have thought they would be dating? The first time they met, Xiao Zhan had put a cold gun to his head, and now a cotton swab to work on his wounds from another mission.
Toward evening, the department received a call about a fight going on at a club in the city right inside the establishment. And when they got there it turned out to be not just a drunken brawl, but a really big showdown that included several dozen people. They didn't even respond to them, the police officers who tried to stop and detain them.
And what without Officer Wang, who just loved to take matters into his own hands? And in the end he too had to get into this mess, and thank the gods he got away with only a few bruises.
- How many times do I have to tell you? - Xiao Zhan just starts as.
- Do not act recklessly, - Yibo finishes for him. He seems to have heard these words almost every day all year. Yes, he was aware that he could be irascible and act on his emotions sometimes, but he couldn't help it. At such moments, the part of his brain responsible for rational thought simply shut down... -I know, but there were so many of them that...
- Yibo, - Xiao Zhan interrupts him, and he raises his gaze to him. He was calm... only in his eyes you could read the worry, but with all his appearance, he showed that he was calm.
- I understand, - he lowered his gaze guiltily right away, only he wasn't allowed to do so. Xiao Zhan lightly lifts him up by his chin and looks directly into his eyes... so gently and at the same time, so sternly. Strange, isn't it? Yibo could see in those eyes how he was trying to be told off. But at the same time, how worried for him. Xiao Zhan showed it to him silently, as if he wanted him to understand for himself how much he cared about him. Those eyes drove him crazy... he wanted to drown in them and never come out. Xiao Zhan drove him crazy. With his look, his voice, his smell, his presence...
- I'll tell you never to do that again, but I know you won't listen to me. So at least be careful, okay? I'd go crazy if anything happened to you.
These words sounded sincere and Yibo understood that his boyfriend was really worried about him. In some ways he even felt guilty about it, but a sudden kiss from Xiao Zhan sizzles those thoughts away... He gently touches his lips with his own, trying not to hurt his facial wounds and immediately pulls away.
- Let's go to bed. You need your rest, - he adds afterwards and gets up from his seat, dragging Yibo with him to their room... who by the way forgot how to breathe properly from a simple smack. It's been a long time since they've lived together, and he still can't get used to such unexpected fits of tenderness from his boyfriend...
He's really going crazy...

- What do you mean? - he can't believe his ears.
In the morning, when Yibo arrived at work, he was really ready to be reprimanded for yesterday's assignment, but he didn't expect to hear what he hadn't known all year...
- Why do you think the SWAT team was reassigned to the regular police department? You are always really reckless. That's when Xiao Zhan quit to protect you! Don't say you didn't know!
He didn't know... really didn't know about it. And hearing those words from the mouth of his superior, he didn't even know how to react to it. All he felt was guilt... that his boyfriend had to go to such extremes just to be around him. After all, he knew that with their jobs, they wouldn't have much time for each other. And now... it turned out that Xiao Zhan had to sacrifice something for him. And he hadn't even told him about it...
It seemed only at that moment did he realize how serious his attitude towards him was. On the one hand Yibo felt guilty towards him, but on the other hand was really grateful... Grateful to have him around.
Their morning conversation when Xiao Zhan drove him to work came to mind:
"- I'm not a little kid. You can't drive me to work every time. Your office is on the other side altogether.
- If I have to, I'll look after you for the rest of my life. What are you going to do to me?"
All his life... those weren't just words. Xiao Zhan really wants to spend her whole life by his side...
This realization makes him feel uncomfortable. He just walks out of the supervisor's office and just dials the contact that was first on his list.
- What's up? - comes the concerned voice of his boyfriend on the other side of the connection.
- Xiao Zhan...
- What's so official?
- I don't want you to be my boyfriend.
- What?!
- Become my husband
- ...
***
- ...
"He'll drive me crazy for sure."
Happy end!
