A prompt on Tumblr from --> i-got-these-words (Why so Vanilla)

Ages:

GuanShan + Tian = 27

Important fact: It's supposed to be on the same timeline as the main story. That's why I preferred to put "Future" instead of "AU".

Important fact 2.0: The genre of this story is angst. This means that it can hurt the reader's sensitivity, due to crude and/or quite cruel scenes. With this warning in mind, enjoy the story.

Narrator GuanShan

I still don't believe it... He's here... but still... not at my side at all...

I hold his hand tightly, and then, I close my eyes, still with tears on them.

I remember how I met him: he wasn't as far the best person I knew back those days. I didn't like him, but, I guess that the main reason was that he tried to approach me in a bad way.

But then, he helped me to solve my issues with She Li, he showed me what was the true meaning of friendship. Later, the meaning of love too.

After some things that happened with 'He Clan', while I was working on a Restaurant to be able to pay my future studies, He Tian came back to Hong Kong.

At college, he studied Sports Science, while I decided to study Economics. Back then, I thought he was studying that because, the more the mere, he loved Sports. After all, I decided to study Economics cause I wanted to lead my own Restaurant sometime soon.

We adopted Sun at the age of two years old, when we were in the second year of our respective degrees, so, we started on being parents at the age of 25... Well, 10 years after we met, but, after all that had been happening to both of us those days, I guess we were mature enough. Yeah, somehow I waited for him to return by my side to start studying my career, so I saved a lot of money working in a Restaurant... So, when we decided to adopt Sun, we both were in good economical conditions...

However, at the end of his career, he explained to me the true reason he was studying that. He wanted to become part of the military wing from Blue Helmets. He explained to me that he wanted to be the opposite that his family was, saving people.

Laid on our bed, I asked him for the umpteenth time if he was sure about his decision.

He grabbed my hand and kissed it gently.

Tian: Little Mo... Don't worry, I'm gonna come back home... To your side... Yours and Sun's... You know it, right...?

GuanShan: But what about if you die?

Tian: I'm not gonna die...

He was remaining calmed. But, at that point, I couldn't do it anymore.

GuanShan: Promise me! That you gonna come back! That you won't leave us!

He kissed my forehead and hugged me stronger for my hips.

Tian: Okay, okay, babe~ I'll promise...

I can remember all the video-calls. Every day, one. He always kissed the screen of his phone, to say "goodnight" to me. I never did it, cause I want to wait until I can kiss him on the lips, so I'm not kissing a cold and insensitive screen.

When I see him behind my screen, I usually think something like: "Fuck being a hero. I just want you home."

I want you here, you dickhead. By our side. I know that's a selfish thought, but... You're the one being selfish, cause I'm really worried about you... Every day I'm scared of not receiving your call...
