The Gift (A YiZhan Fanfiction)

Past Love

Qin took the phone from Yibo's hand and tilted her head. "He looks like the guy from the apartment, no?" Yibo nodded and asked Qin to scroll through the album and it surprised them both. The album is filled with Xiao Zhan's stolen shots from the corridor, side, classroom. Everywhere. Qin laughed out loud. "You were a stalker!?" Yibo defensively said no and took the phone away from Qin, hiding it under the pillow. "I actually took a photo of that guy?" Qin leaned her cheek on Yibo's chest while wrapping her arms around Yibo's waist. "You owe him an apology. If you really promised him things, you have to say sorry and explain baby." Yibo frowned, pinching her wife's cheek. "Why do I feel like you're taking things too smoothly?" The girl nuzzles her nose against his husband and smiled. "You liked him first, loved even. I have to know my place."

"Qin, you're my wife." Qin nodded and sat up properly. "I know. But I know your condition. You have a selective amnesia. If you weren't hospitalized, you could've married him you know." Yibo gave his wife a look. "You're seriously telling me this? You don't love me anymore?" Yibo pouted his lips, stopping the urge to cry.

Qin laughed prettily again and kissed Yibo's pouty lips three times. "Of course I love you! It's just that if ever you remember him which I highly recommend for you to do and you choose him over me, I would give you up immediately. Plus, look at his smile." Qin showed Yibo the picture of Xiao Zhan smiling happily and the man unconsciously smiled as well. "I've never seen you smile like that, get my point?"

Zewu who listened outside of their door with Zanjin sighed. Zanjin looked up at his ex boyfriend sadly, obviously guilty for being so mean to Qin. "Sorry.." He mumbled. Zewu stopped himself from laughing and dragged the younger in his bedroom. "Earn my forgiveness." He said and locked his room.

Yibo thought about it and maybe he really needs to apologize but that doesn't mean he will go back stalking this dude and leave his wife alone. The man thought about the sudden kiss that happened and it really felt like this guy he stalked before longed for him. He covered his tomato like cheeks and stepped in the shower to cool himself down.

Xiao Zhan wrapped himself with his blanket as he laid down on the cold floor just waiting to die. He really doesn't have any appetite and doesn't want to do anything but cry over a spilled milk. The front desk called Xiao Zhan's room countless of times before the man decided to pick it up.

Zhan who isn't in his right mind just hummed to whatever the lady was saying. After a few minutes, the doorbell rang but he didn't open it. Again, the doorbell rang but this time continuously. He stood up annoyed and opened the door, revealing a styled Yibo infront of him. "Can I come in?"

The Professor sat silently on the corner of his bed after serving Yibo a cup of homemade caramel coffee. He learned the coffee that Yibo usually drinks when he goes to the cafe near their old University. "Listen, I don't remember you at all and I am sorry for punching you. I really am. I was just surprised that a dude suddenly kissed me in public." Zhan hummed once again. He is tired of everything. He could take any harsh insults, heartbreaking words because he is done. "It's okay." The elder's voice was broken, barely even there. His lips doesn't have color and the bags under his eyes are extremely noticeable.

"Have you been eating?" Yibo asked, not sure why he did. His body just did things for him. He slowly cupped the elder's face and frowns. "You barely have any meat in you." Zhan sighed and stood up. "I'm fine. Let me guide you out." Xiao Zhan doesn't want to see anyone, even Yibo. Especially when he pretends to care when Zhan was just admitting defeat. "Zhan." The elder's heart jumps in joy upon hearing his name escape from the younger's mouth.

He could feel his tears falling again and it immediately burned his eyes. Too much tears came out of him while he was dehydrated. He's just a mess.

Yibo suddenly had a flashback in his mind. Xiao Zhan's smiling face. His cheeks were fluffier, lips were red and his all over physical appearance was beyond perfect. He groaned as he kneeled on the floor, tugging his hair as he felt the pang on the back of his head. "Yibo!?" Xiao Zhan stopped the younger from tugging his own hair and worriedly caressed it instead. "Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?"

"I.. I missed you so much." Yibo said and yelled in pain again, collapsing on Xiao Zhan's body. "Yibo!? Wake up!" The elder used all his energy and laid Yibo down on his bed, tucking him in and held his hand, praying to all Gods he is fine.

He couldn't take the man to the hospital since he himself isn't in good shape. He couldn't call Zewu either since they have no contact with each other. Zanjin too. Plus, he doesn't want to start a fight between Yibo and Qin.

Xiao Zhan played with the younger's fingers and brings it up to his quivering lips. "I'm glad you're back, happy and satisfied. I'm glad you're okay. But I'm sorry for not being glad seeing you with someone else.." Xiao Zhan tightened his grip on Yibo's hand, not wanting to let go. "but I'll try my best to be happy for you.. that's what I'm supposed to do."

In Yibo's dream, Xiao Zhan is happily running towards him with a wide smile plastered on his beautiful face while holding two cones of ice cream. "Be careful, Zhan." The elder pants after stopping infront of Yibo. "Here! I bought you food this time." Xiao Zhan's giggles echoed in his mind until he opened his eyes slowly. "Zhan."
