Changes (ZhanYi FanFic) - Completed

26: Cuddles

Yibo had just finished his bath and as he entered the bedroom, his first sight was his adorable son sprawled on their shared bed deeply asleep. He must have eaten quite a bulk of his favourite cake that rendered him drowsy post-meal.

Yibo languidly heaved a sigh of ceding to Su-er's sweet tooth, gleaming as he placed a soft peck on the precious one's head. 'Good night, A-Su.' He softly willed as he positioned himself on the little space at the edge of the bed, letting A-Su keep the majority of their shared space.

But sleep wouldn't visit him quite soon. He pulled his left hand out of the blanket, staring at his ring finger. It was...

empty.

No ring nor diamond of promise.

Yibo brushed his empty left ring finger, pulling it close to his lips.

"Marry me." Zhan's voice still rings in his ears. His Gege's serious face declaring a want for commitment still lingers in his vision.

Yibo's heart gallops with the rhythm of yearning. His body craving for the warmth of Zhan's embrace in the cold night.

He wants him. His greedy self wants his Gege to keep calling him that sweet 'Honey'.

Yibo stared again at that bare ring finger. He has thought what would it feel to have a metal band hugging it snuggly around. He shook his head after a while. 'It might be uncomfortable.' He hasn't had any jewelleries since long ago. Such luxury would feel strange and awkward to him.

But the rose-coloured hue on his face was an answer itself.

He wants one from His Alpha.

He wants to be Zhan's wife.

Yibo giggled silently.

He remembered how he pulled Zhan's face close as an answer, forgetting etiquette and abandoning his reservations. Their lips clashed, their arms entangled. Zhan's stroke on his cheeks down his shoulder and back felt reassuring and just so...warm. Not to forget, Zhan's overpowering woody scent that made Yibo's knees weaken.

And before Yibo lost his balance, Zhan's strong arms pulled him closer, pulled him up his waist and maneuvered him securely against his body. If Yibo's lungs hadn't protested to take a breath they would have made out longer! Such a shame! but Yibo's pout was replied by a sweet smile from his Gege.

"Wifey."

Zhan would definitely be the cause of Yibo's heart attack!

These moments seemed so illusionary. Yibo wished if he was just dreaming, he'd rather stay in this fairy tale.

But just as he was in depth of his fantasy, the door noiselessly opened bringing him back to the present. The quiet footsteps that followed made Yibo's heart race too fast, he was almost breathless. He shut his eyes quickly, feigning sleep.

Then the tall figure kneeled besides him. Yibo could feel the silver eyes peering through him.

Zhan had taken a look at their son's direction, chuckling lightly. 'One kick from A-Su and you'll be on the floor, Honey.' He remarked. And that sweet endearment made Yibo burrowed his face under the blanket to hide his deep blushed face.

'Haha!' Zhan's quiet laugh made Yibo peek to catch a glimpse of his handsome Gege's smile.

"Got you." Zhan grinned at Yibo which sent butterflies in the younger's belly. Before Yibo can protest with what Zhan was upto, Zhan had already planted a kiss on his forehead and scooch to lay besides him in that tight bed edge.

Yibo wanted to get up and give some space to Zhan, he must move Su-er so there would be space for three, but Zhan was quick to dive him back to his arms, letting Yibo rest his head on his arm and encircling Yibo's hand on his waist. "Hold me tight. If I fall, you'll fall with me too."

Yibo could feel Zhan's smile behind his words and he couldn't help but smile too and cuddled with his Zhan-ge to his heart's content that night.
