Warning! Finally He Tian and Guan Shan will have their smexy time~

"You've done everything you were told, Mr. Mo." The doctor said looking at the x-ray. "I must say you're a hundred percent healed."

"It means I can do whatever I want now?"

"Well, you can't break your arm again." The doctor laughed playfully. "But seriously now, your bones are healed, but they are weaker. So I want you to keep on your calcium diet."

"Ok."

"And yes, you can do practically everything now."

"That's nice to hear. Thank you, doc."

"You're welcome."

Guan Shan left the clinic smiling, stretching his arms above his head.

It was a month after the kidnapping, which meant it was the very beginning of November. The weather was getting colder each day, making the boys wear more layers of clothing when they were outside. It hadn't begun to snow yet, and the weather forecast couldn't predict if it would that year, but Guan Shan hoped it would. He really liked snow. Not because it was pretty, but because it meant less classes.

"What did the doc said?" He Tian asked when Guan Shan passed by him.

"I'm totally healed now."

"That's nice to hear."

"I said the exact same thing." Guan Shan smiled. He rubbed his hands together and looked down. He grabbed He Tian's hand and put it on his pocket, entwined their fingers. "Do you mind?"

"Not at all. I actually enjoy it. It's pretty rare for you to be affectionate in public."

"I'm cold."

"I know, but I like it anyway."

"By the way, He Tian, I noticed one thing."

"What?"

"Did you quit smoking?"

"Why do you ask?"

"It's been months since I last saw you with a cigarette. Why did you stop?"

"Ah, there was this really obnoxious pepper, you know? Someday it screamed at my face that it smelled awful. And that if I wanted to die that much, it could push me from the rooftop."

"You stopped because of me?"

"I thought it could get in our way."

"Our way?"

"I liked you, you didn't like the smell. If I kept smoking you'd never kiss me again, would you?"

"I must say you have a very good point."

"So yes, I stopped because of you."

"And now you have less chances of having lung cancer, or other lung related diseases. You're welcome."

"Thank you, Habanero." He Tian smiled. "What are we having for dinner?"

"It's fucking three in the afternoon. Are you some sort of black hole? We just had lunch."

"I think we should have cake for dinner."

"Ha?" Guan Shan looked confused.

"Because you are damn sour. You just got great news, can't you be at least cuter towards me?"
