Chapter 26

"So it's fine, as long as it's not here?"

He questioned and slowly pulled down his pants. Zhan Yao hastily averted his eyes, his breathing quickened. When Yutong suddenly was right next to him, he squeezed his eyes shut closely and turned his face away. Without realizing, he held his breath.

"Well, let's get you ready."

Bai Yutong whispered in his ear, playfully blowing inside it, and finally leaned over Zhan Yao's tensed body.

Zhan Yao clenched his fists nervously, his heartrate increased as he felt Bai Yutong's hot breath against his neck - making his skin tingle on the contact.

"Yutong, don't."

He choked out quietly. A surprised noise left his lips when he suddenly fell backwards and grabbed onto Yutong's arms that leaned on the pillows on each side of his head.

Slowly, he opened his eyes and immediatey turned mad at the sight in front of him. Bai Yutong had pushed the button to lower the bed and his whole body was trembling under suppressed laughter, his face already turning red and with tears of laughter on the corners of his eyes. The mouse was only making fun of him!

The fuming cat didn't hesitate to let his mouse feel his anger and furiously kicked him off the bed.

"BAI YUTONG!"

But Bai Yutong, instead of groaning from pain, finally exploded in laughter. Zhan Yao couldn't do anything besides glaring at him angrily. When Yutong just wouldn't stop laughing, Yao finally had enough and scoffed, irritated.

"You're sleeping on the floor."

He said dryly and instantly caught Bai Yutong's full attention - who tried to calm his laughter to not upset his cat any further and really risk to sleep on the floor.

"Zhan Yao. Come on. I didn't mean to tease you like this but you were just too cute. And it was you who misunderstood in the first place! I just wanted to help you get ready for bed. You can't punish me for that, it's not fair!"

He whined, trying to reason with Zhan Yao and approached the bed.

"Don't even start. You sleep on the floor or leave. Up to you."

Zhan Yao replied coldly and turned away, pulling the covers over his head to escape the embarrassment and Yutong's pleading puppy eyes.

"Cat."

He felt Bai Yutong tugging on his comforter and held on to it as if his life depended on it. He would rather die than be seen like this by Bai Yutong. He would make fun of him until he died!

"Go away."

He tried to chase him off, but Bai Yutong was known to be persistent. Wether it came to working on a case and hunting down criminals or chasing his lover - Bai Yutong was relentless and stubborn. Normally, this trait of his was very attractive, in Zhan Yao's opinion, but right now it was very unpractical in his current situation.

Bai Yutong grew more and more impatient, his tugging on the covers more and more annoying. Finally, he had enough and just ripped the bothersome fabric away with one forceful tug. The surprised Zhan Yao almost was thrown on the floor together with it but quickly balanced himself and grabbed onto the pillows instead. One of them was shoved right into Bai Yutong's face who grunted in discomfort.

"What the- Zhan Yao! What's your problem? I'm sorry for teasing you, alright? But you're acting-"

Bai Yutong started ranting as he removed the pillow from his face but stopped talking once he got a clear look of Zhan Yao.

He hugged the pillow closely, trapping it between his arms and legs, as he curled around it and hid his face in another one.

"Zhan Yao?"

Bai Yutong said carefully, a little worried now and gently removed the pillow covering his lovers face to reveal a completely flustered Yao who stared at him in embarrassment. His eye were glazed and his cheeks flushed and Bai Yutong could feel his blood rush at the sight in front of him, his breath caught in his throat.

"Zhan Yao, you..."

He trailed off as he watched Zhan Yao's body squirm and quickly shutting his eyes again. Bai Yutong's gaze lowered on him in sudden realization and turned dark. He gulped.

"Zhan Yao, look at me."

He demanded with a raspy voice but was met with defiance. Zhan Yao kept his eyes shut and shook his head stubbornly.

Carefully, Yutong let his hand glide over Zhan Yao's shoulder, down his arm and gripping his hand softly. Zhan Yao shivered under his touch and sucked in a harsh breath.

"Zhan Yao. Let go, will you."

Bai Yutong whispered in his ear as he carefully loosened Zhan Yao's grip on the pillows. Despite his sweet coaxing, Zhan Yao was still unwilling to comply. However, Bai Yutong was still able to gently remove his hand from the pillow and slip his own hand in Zhan Yao's grip.

Bai Yutong would have loved to go further but his cat seemed too nervous and it was neither the right time or place. So he just collected the covers from the floor, lied down next to Zhan Yao and spread the comforter over both of them without ever letting go of Zhan Yao's hand. He stuffed one pillow under his head and gently slipped his free arm under Zhan Yao's head. Whispering soothing words in his ear, he pulled Zhan Yao closer to his chest and hugged him tightly.

"Sleep."

He purred and felt Zhan Yao's tension slowly leaving his body and snuggle closer towards him.

Yutong placed one last soft kiss on Zhan Yao's head and soon there could only be heard the matching calm breathing of the two sleeping men.
