What Happens In Rome.... [Lgbt] [✔]

Chapter 25

A/N Since there will be many more moments when the characters speak Italian, and it would be boring for you to read a translation every time, I will write directly in English like I did in Chapter 23. So, when it is "(like this)" it means that they are speaking Italian, when it is "like this" it means they are speaking Chinese as their usual.
Now on with the story.

Wei and Yunlan rushed home as soon as possible but Lisa hadn't arrived yet; Qiqi took advantage of this chance to ask Yunlan for a few Italian words she didn't know yet, also begging him to intervene if things got too difficult for her to handle on her own.

When Lisa arrived she was surprised to see them there, lately they were always out together.

She saw right away that something was up, Qiqi was unnaturally nervous, and she began with "(We have to talk.)"

A start like that always announces troubles.

Lisa nodded and they stood near the kitchen while the others waited by the table. Qiqi's Italian was far from perfect yet, so she kept it simple. She wanted her friends to understand as well, so she chose not to speak English but kept it strictly in Italian.

"(Wei not my cousin.)"

Yunlan giggled, Lisa frowned. "(What is he?)"

"(A friend... we... fake marriage.)"

"(WHAT?)"

"(We good reason... no true...)"

"(What are you talking about?)"

"(We friend... we tell his mom and dad we marry, we...)"

"(YOU KIDDING ME? YOU LIED ALL THIS TIME? WHAT IS THIS SHIT?)"

Qiqi turned to Yunlan with a helpless expression, she couldn't keep up with her and Lisa was too upset to articulate her words clearly.

Yunlan took Wei's hand and they got closer. He held his hand tight whispering, "This is the right thing to do, trust me."

Wei nodded, he did trust him, so he let him speak.

"(Wei is Qiqi fake boyfriend. No marriage yet. We hope never marriage. I am Wei true boyfriend. She likes you, wants you to know truth,)" he told her.

Qiqi didn't get everything he said, but three words were enough, she frantically nodded her head volunteering, "(I likes you, I likes you.)"

At that Lisa paused, looking at one face after the other, stopping on Wei's.
"(So there's really nothing between you two?)"

Wei didn't understand, so he turned to Yunlan who simply grabbed his face kissing him in front of them. He paused to murmur a quick, "You love me right?" before he kissed him again, and this time Wei responded to the kiss.

Lisa watched them, only partially convinced. "(That seemed a real kiss, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like girls too. How do I know he doesn't have bad intentions? I don't want to share my Qiqi with anyone.)"

Qiqi only understood that 'my Qiqi' and got really close to her, happily holding her hand.

Lisa was still staring at the men, so Yunlan shrugged. "(How can I prove it? I promise Wei only mine.)"

She furrowed her brows, and Wei felt uncomfortable under her stare. Suddenly she took her shirt off, she only had a tight sports top on over her size D bra and she moved to touch Wei's chest. He didn't know what was going on but only Yunlan was allowed to touch him so he took a step back.

She brushed against him and he pushed her off. "(No! I want Yunlan.)"

Yunlan's smile beamed, Qiqi rolled her eyes in disbelief and Lisa let him go. "(This is not the way men usually react. Is it a Chinese thing?)"

"(No, it is gay thing, I said he is mine.)" Yunlan said those words then hugged Wei to himself. Much more comfortable now, Wei relaxed a bit.

Lisa wasn't taking it as 'easily' as Yunlan had though, she had no reason to, she wanted Qiqi to leave that house and go live at her place. They could share the rent, she said, and be together all the time.

"(No work,)" Qiqi reminded her, but Lisa just shook her head. "(The chef is just playing primadonna but he'll come around. They will hire you don't worry.)"

"What's going on?" Wei asked Yunlan, he had completely lost track of what they were saying, and Yunlan reluctantly told him.

He didn't want to, but at the same time he hated the idea of lying to him, so he told him the truth.

Not surprisingly, Wei panicked.

"No, she can't leave! Qiqi you can't leave, what if my parents call me unexpectedly, what will I tell them!"

"Maybe that I'm not here at the moment?" She timidly asked, but he shook his head. "Never? Qiqi you promised, you can't leave like this."

She sighed. "I know, I promised, I won't leave you alone Wei."

She raised sad pleading eyes to meet Lisa's, trying with Yunlan's help to explain the situation.
Lisa didn't like it, but like Yunlan she didn't want to lose her.

"(This is fucked up,)" she said, but nobody had anything to object to this.

For a few minutes nobody spoke a word, nobody moved, then Lisa broke the silence. "(What about living all together?)"

Three pairs of Chinese eyes stared at her, and she threw her hands in the air in exasperation. "(Why not? She'll be close to you if you need her help but she'll be closer to me! So I can keep an eye on you mister!)"

Yunlan laughed, it hadn't been possible when he had learned about it, but now they were a couple, they slept together whenever possible, so why not living together? He had wanted that for a long time, and now this crazy girl's idea suited his wishes as well.

Nobody had spoken yet, so she insisted. "(I don't like this whole situation, ok? Which by the way is important to you, not to her, she could leave anytime! I don't want to let her live with you knowing you're not related. This is a compromise, I'm trying to be understanding here!)"

Both Qiqi and Yunlan weren't against it at all, on the contrary they quite liked it; it wasn't ideal, but maybe it really was the best under the circumstances, so it was up to Wei.

It was a difficult decision because changes always made him anxious, but moving in with his boyfriend... having Yunlan at his side every night and every morning, that was... that was a dream he never thought would come true.

Come to think of it, making a decision wasn't really that difficult.
