Guardian Files (fanfictions)

Valentine's Date

Shen sighed when he looked around the library. The quiet place was most probably the only space in the whole university campus not filled with lovely dovely couples. They were all outside... having ice-cream... carrying roses and cards... making out on the benches in parks, in the last desks in auditoriums, even in restrooms...

Shen was lonely.

"Why is it always me being alone on Valentine's Day?"

He never thought about this day as something more. It was just a regular day for him. But after spending years at the university he understood the beauty of it. And he also started hating this day.

He walked to the shelves and pondered what book to take that would entertain him. He had one more class to teach in three hours and nothing to do in the meantime. Hiding in his office was no longer an option as the girls from first grades always gathers courage and knocks on his door on this day. And Shen was not interested.

He decided to browse the archaeology section, maybe in hopes to find comfort in the old books. But just when he was about to turn left his eyes noticed a movement. He was not alone in the library anymore.

"Hello," the Chief of SID smiled sweetly at him, waving.

Shen gulped. How come this man looked more handsome today?

"Came to have a good laugh at me?" 

"W-Why would I laugh at you?" Yunlan frowned and nervously scratched his head.

Shen walked to the shelves, averting his attention to the dusty books. "The fact I am hiding here alone on Valentine's Day while you have all the women standing in lines for you."

"Come on, you also have a line in front of the office," Yunlan pointed in the direction of the door. "I was not even able to battle my way through the crowd there."

"Young pitiful girls," Shen whispered and took out a volume one of some book. 

"I did not came to argue with you. I just... wanted to ask you, ehm... something."

Shen looked at him and noticed Yunlan's cheeks and ears becoming red. "Well, what is it?"

"Ehmm... I...," Yunlan was lost for words. He never was good with words to begin with. He made that one step closer to the Professor and pressed his lips on Shen's. When Yunlan drew away and looked into his eyes, he did not see disgust, but surprise and caring. 

Shen was left speechless. He moved forward, ignoring the book falling out of his hand, and returned the kiss with urge.

"Fancy a dinner later on?" Yunlan asked in a low tone when they drew apart for oxygen.

Shen was able to only nod, his head clouded.

"It is a date then," Yunlan grinned.
