Yunlan lay in bed watching the beautiful shape beside him rest, as the light from the window caused the perspiration on his body to shine while he slept. He loved this man more than he could put into words and wished that he could help with the sadness Wei held back, not allowing anyone to see it, but Yunlan wasn't just anyone and he knew where the sadness came from but he couldn't do or say anything until Wei admitted it to himself.
Looking into the Syn picture had opened up his memories allowing him to know where he came from and who gave him this gift of life which could now put an end to Shen Wei's heartache but he had to wait for the right time before he could tell him. Shen Wei shuddered before he started mumbling in his sleep which became louder, turning into painful yells as the tears began to flow and he cried in his sleep. Yunlan pulled a blanket over him and slid down beside him, holding Wei until the dream ended and he was at peace resting again, as if nothing had happened. Yunlan knew that he would remain asleep until morning and he could now close his own eyes and get some rest himself, otherwise the staff at work would see his temper again.
The small of breakfast always awoke Yunlan, it didn't matter where he was or how much sleep he had, as soon as he could smell food in the morning, he was awake. Wei was lying watching him and saw him stir slightly after Kunlun had passed the room with hot food from the kitchen and Yunlan's eyes opened like slits fighting tiredness.
"A-Lan, you could sleep longer. have breakfast brought here to you." Wei suggested quietly.
"Xaio Wei, you say the nicest things but my stomach says no," and he leaned over to kiss Wei good morning before he sat on the edge of the bed looking for his slippers but was distracted when he was pulled into a firm hold as Wei tucked himself into his back sitting and refusing to let him go.
"Stay a bit longer, the food can be kept warm, I'll help you find your slippers," he said as his skilful hands slid along Yunlan's skin to a sensitive area lower down and worked their magic while he mouthed the back of his neck, immediately awakening Yunlan and causing him to forget about breakfast and slippers until much later in the morning.
The university was closed today giving the tutors some extra time off due to an electrical fault which would need to be fixed before they could reopen, therefore Shen Wei was in no hurry but Yunlan was going to be late, the first time ever, so he just accepted it, no use hurrying now and he took his time eating and making sure that Wei ate enough food as well. He thanked Kunlun for his wonderful breakfast and collected the watch and whip before leaving the mansion in Wei's car as a passenger. Once again he had left his car at the office without realising it, he was getting used to travelling with the guards.
Shen Wei had to stop and wait at the roadworks for the lights to change and noticed the young man moving from car to car wondering what he was trying to sell or was he looking for something.
