Spinning Hearts 💞

💞

Once upon a breezy summer evening, amidst the twinkling lights of the carnival, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo found themselves at the base of a towering ferris wheel. They had decided to take a break from their hectic schedules and enjoy a carefree evening together, just like old times.

💞

Excitement bubbled within Zhan as they climbed into one of the colorful cabins, the promise of breathtaking views and laughter filling the air. But as the ferris wheel ascended higher and higher, the sweet man's initial thrill turned to unease. The once-faint flutter of anxiety in his chest grew stronger with each passing moment, until it threatened to consume him entirely.

💞

"Hey, a-zhan, are you alright?" Wang Yibo's voice cut through the silence, concern evident in his tone.

💞

Zhan forced a smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "I'm fine, a-bo. Just... not a big fan of heights, I guess."

💞

Yibo nodded understandingly, reaching out to give Zhan's hand a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry, we'll be back on solid ground before you know it."

💞

But as fate would have it, their journey was far from over. Just as they reached the pinnacle of their ascent, a sudden mechanical malfunction caused the ferris wheel to shudder to a halt, leaving Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo suspended high above the carnival grounds.

💞

Panic gripped the little guy's heart like a vice, his breaths coming in short, shallow gasps. The confines of the cabin felt suffocating, and the dizzying height only intensified his fear.

💞

"Yibo, I- I can't breathe..." Zhan managed to choke out, his voice trembling with anxiety.

💞

Wang Yibo's expression softened with concern as he took in Xiao Zhan's distress. Without a moment's hesitation, he reached out, gently grasping his little bunny's trembling hand in his own. "Hey, Zhan, look at me. You're going to be okay. Just focus on your breathing, alright? In, and out."

💞

With Yibo's steady guidance, Zhan began to regain control over his racing heart. As they synchronized their breaths, the chaotic whirlwind of fear slowly began to ebb away, replaced by a sense of calm and security.

💞

But just as the sweet man started to relax, another unexpected jolt rocked the cabin, sending them both lurching forward. Instinctively, Yibo wrapped his arms around Zhan, pulling him close as the cabin swayed precariously.

💞

Heart pounding, Xiao Zhan found himself gazing into Wang Yibo's eyes, their faces mere inches apart. In that fleeting moment, amidst the chaos and the fear, something shifted between them. It was as if the world had stopped spinning, and all that mattered was the connection between their souls.

💞

"Thank you, a-bo." Zhan whispered, his voice barely audible over the creaking of the Ferris wheel.

💞

Yibo's gaze softened, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Anytime, a-zhan. I'll always be here for you."

💞

As they waited for rescue, suspended high above the ground, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo found solace in each other's presence. And as the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the horizon, they knew that no matter where life took them, their bond would remain unbreakable.
