What Happens In Rome.... [Lgbt] [✔]

Chapter 20

They didn't have sex that day. Yunlan didn't get the answer he wanted, instead he got many more questions.

He kept holding him until he was sure that he was asleep, then placed him gently down and covered him so he'd be more comfortable.

Yunlan got up and walked around barefoot. He was also exhausted but he couldn't sleep. He couldn't leave either, he was in too deep and the simple idea of leaving Wei was unacceptable. He knew now that he would break. But why? Yunlan didn't understand, Wei was beautiful, kind, and even if he didn't believe it himself he was also strong, leaving all behind to come all the way here alone, not everyone was capable of doing that.

Then why did he think so little of himself?

Yunlan walked around the living-room, then his eyes landed on the computer.
Should he?

He looked at the bedroom where Wei was sleeping than looked again at the computer. Maybe he shouldn't, maybe neither of them would appreciate him interfering, but he had to try.
He sat down and made the call.

He hoped it wouldn't be his father answering the call, what would he tell him?

Suddenly someone answered.
There were two people standing but he couldn't see their faces. He heard: "See? I've told you many times that you need to press here to answer." Then a female voice said, "It's not my fault if these things are so complicated, now let me talk to my son."

Yunlan stood up and got around the table so she wouldn't see him, damn, he was still shirtless, he couldn't let Wei's mother see him like that in her son's house!

"Wei? Where are you, is everything alright? Qiqi? Is this thing working Yezun?"

"Let me see."

"You make it work while I grab my glasses."

Yunlan seized his chance, and moved to peak at the computer; when he saw that Yezun was alone he moved closer, with a finger on his lips.

Yezun saw him and surprise showed clearly on his face. He turned to see if his mother was in sight then murmured: "Call again in five minutes," and closed the connection.

Yunlan went into the bedroom to check on Wei and to retrieve his shirt, he put it on and went back to sit in front of the computer. He waited eight minutes then he called again.

Yezun answered immediately.
"Who are you?" He asked.

Yunlan sighed, there it was, the fatidic question, who was he?
"I'm... Yunlan."
The name didn't ring any bell, clearly Wei had never mentioned him.

"Where is my brother?" Yezun asked now.
"He's sleeping, he... wasn't well so he's resting now."

"Did you have sex with my brother?"

Yunlan wasn't expecting such a blunt question. The two brothers looked so much alike but their behaviour was completely different.
"No we didn't do it."
"Why not?"
"Because I love him."
Yunlan was aware that Yezun knew about his brother being gay, and if he wanted his help he had to be honest with him.

Surprisingly that answer was easily accepted.
Yezun asked: "Why did you call me? What happened?"

"I want to understand, why is he so insecure? What happened to him? I mean, he told me about Feng and the evil gossip but ..."
"He told you??"
"Yes, like a week ago, but that can't be all, there has to be something more, something that happened before that made him act the way he did. I want to understand but it's difficult, so I hoped you could help me."

Yezun considered this for a few seconds then he seemed to reach a decision.
"I want to help you, but it won't be as easy as you probably hoped it would be."
"Why not?"
"Because nothing happened," Yezun said. "Wei was never mistreated, abused, abandoned, there is no major trauma in his life, at least not what most people would actually call trauma."
