New Set of One-Shots!

Chapter 1: A claim has been made and accepted

Summary: A moment during the middle of the night, Sicheng escaped to the roof for a smoke as he could not sleep. He witnesses something that captures his full attention...witnesses a talent that his new Mid seemed to be hiding from everyone and that utterly entraps him.

Darker/Overprotective: Sicheng
Overprotective: Lu Yue
Overprotective: Lu Wang Lan
Overprotective: Lu Kexin

Notes:

Author's Note: The Muse really wanted to try their hand at writing a darker Sicheng. So This author hopes everyone enjoys this super long one-shot because the Muse and I have been actually working on this for a little over a week now!

FYI the Muse took huge inspiration from Luna19131311's story Honorable Sacrifice so the Muse has declared that this one-shot is dedicated to them!

You can find her story here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58675336/chapters/149509333

Disclaimer: The Muse would like to remind everyone we do not own FIYS nor the beloved characters nor any dialogue from either the show nor the book...the Muse is very sad and continues to sulk at this reminder.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

One- Shot

Sicheng froze, not moving a muscle standing there in the dark doorway that led onto the roof. And what had him frozen was his new teammate...his new Mid. His whiskey amber colored eyes could not help but track her every movement...as every damn move she made? Every dip, twirl, leap flowed perfectly...as if she were water. He swallowed hard, as she bent backwards with perfect balance with her goddamn hands nearly touching the ground before she actually placed them on the ground and back flipped, easily lowering herself down to the ground into a split before she swung herself upwards once more, twirling beautifully.

However, it was the moment she swept into the most graceful bow he had only ever seen once with her head bowed, before she slowly titled it and looked upwards through her eyelashes that a memory slammed into him hard. He froze completely and utterly with his breath catching his throat as a scene just like this one flashed through his mind, when he had gone to a premiere ballet performance with his mother, when he had only been 23 at the time.

"Oh!" Yao froze as she turned and locked her eyes with piercing, contemplating, intense looking whiskey amber colored eyes of her Captain. "I...I didn't wake you or the others did I?" she asked nervously with a hard swallow as she walked over to the male as she picked up her phone and turned off her music.

"You didn't. I could not sleep and usually I come here sometimes during the nights when I can not sleep with too much on my mind." nodded Sicheng as he saw the worry reflecting in her dark chocolate colored eyes before he looked her over. She wore a tight pair of black knee length leggings and tight dark purple tank-tip with sweat clinging to her form...making him see that she had probably been dancing for a while. He fought back though the surge of lust and desire that spiked within him at seeing the way her clothing was clinging to her well toned, curvy body. "Impressive dances moves there, Shorty." he offered in a low tone as she paused from speaking at his words and watched as she flushed bright red with shifting some along with averting her eyes.

"Xiexie (thank you). If...well if you want I can stop coming up here. I don't want to disturb your routine as I can get the need or want to escape for peace." offered Yao with a soft as she shifted some as it would suck but if this was his safe place, she did not want to disturb his solitude. She swallowed as she peaked back at him and found him watching with her assessing eyes before he tilted his head as an unknown emotion flashed across his face.
