Illusion - SCI Mystery 谜案集 Fanfiction

Christmas Extra

"Bai Yutong! Will you grow up already?!", Zhan Yao's upset voice resounded through the appartment and he angrily chased after the childish man who ran away giggling.

Bai Yutong's mood was even harder to control than usually. Zhan Yao stopped his futile chase - knowing he won't be able to catch him anyway - and sighed exhaustedly. His boyfriend was acting like a child and Zhan Yao could not help but blame christmas eve for it. He had been hard to handle for the past couple days already but now that it was the actual christmas eve there was no holding him back anymore - he completely turned into a six-year-old.

"Give me back my tie. Yutong, you're acting like a child. Your mom will kill us if we're late", he frowned and shuddered slightly at the mention of Yutong's mother. She was a woman with a powerful character nobody would want to face as their enemy.

At the mention of his own mother, Yutong the child stopped abruptly and turned around with wide eyes. He stilled for a moment and Zhan Yao was already going to ask what was the matter, but Bai Yutong quickly leapt over the sofa and landed right in front of him, resulting in a surprised Zhan Yao who stumbled back with a yelp.
He almost fell, but Bai Yutong swiftly slung his arm around his waist to steady him.

"Sorry cat, I didn't mean to startle you. Here, I'll do your tie for you", he said softly and suddenly, it was not child-Yutong anymore but the mature Yutong who easily brought a blush on Zhan Yao's face.

Zhan Yao wanted to bite back that he could do it by himself but he was simply too flustered by the proximity and Yutong's concentrated gaze that the words died in his throat.
Yutong quickly and expertly finished and pulled Zhan Yao into a heated kiss, catching the cat off-guard.

"You look good", Bai Yutong complimented huskily as soon as he pulled away, his gaze focused on Zhan Yao's reddened lips as he licked his own.
Zhan Yao blushed even harder at his words and averted his eyes.
He quietly studied Bai Yutong's neat appearance. He was wearing one of his usual pristine white suits that accenturated his perfect build. To top it off, he actually styled his hair for once so it was combed upwards a little bit. He looked even more handsome than usual.
"You- you too", he mumbled shyly and pried off Yutong's hands on his hips to turn around and hide his burning face.

But hearing the rare complimenting words, Yutong turned him back around right away and sealed their lips once more.
"Can't wait to finally get back and exchange our gifts with each other", he whispered in Yao's ear who could only respond by weakly nodding at him.

He finally let go of the poor cat which likely suffered more than just one heart attack and went to turn around to pick up his coat and keys but a weak grip on his dress shirt pulled him back. Just as he was about to ask if something was the matter he felt a soft brush of lips against his own. As quickly as it started, it also ended.
Bai Yutong's dumbfounded expression quickly turned soft as soon as he noticed the tips of Zhan Yao's ears which were now a burning red colour.
He smiled to himself and finished to get dressed. Both of them silently exited the appartment together.

"Merry Christmas!", they cheered in unision when Mama Bai opened the door for them. Her gentle smile turned even wider and she quickly led them inside and closed the door from the cold wind outside.
"It really is too hard to see you two. If it wasn't for the existence of holidays I fear I wouldn't be able to see you two at all anymore!", she scolded them as soon as they stepped inside. They both shared a quick nervous glance.

"Say something!"
"She's your mother, you talk to her!"
"But she likes you better!"

They argued with each other in their mind.
"Auntie, we're sorry. But we really-"
"Yeah, yeah. 'Auntie we're sorry but we really are too busy lately. We will visit you as soon as we're a little more free.' You say this every time, I can already say it backwards", she interrupted Zhan Yao somewhat sullenly, who helplesssly looked at the equally helpless Yutong.
She sighed and continued a little more soothingly "I know the two of you are busy and that when you're finally a little more free also want to spend that time for yourself from time to time with what little free time you have. But I'm still a mother - to both of you, more or less - who wants to see their children from time to time. And I worry about you too." She looked at them deep in the eyes and gently brushed back a loose strand of Yutog's hair.
