I Love You

"W-Why?!" Yibo screamed as he clutched onto Xiao Zhan's arm. Darren rolled his eyes "Scaredy cat"

"Don't find me if the ghosts finds you later!" Yibo shouted at Darren while trying to pull Xiao Zhan even closer.

Darren laughed "The ghosts won't find me. They will find you and chase you out of this house!"

Yibo's eyes widened and he hugged Xiao Zhan's arm even tighter "Zhan! He is bullying me! Scold him for me!"

Xiao Zhan sighed "You two... Will you let me watch this show in peace?" Yibo nodded his head "See Darren? Zhan Zhan is asking you to shut your mouth"

"Says the one who is screaming every second" Darren rolled his eyes. "I don't scream every second!" Yibo retorted. They continued bickering and Xiao Zhan stood up.

Yibo immediately pulled Xiao Zhan back down, making Xiao Zhan stumble and land on him. Xiao Zhan's face started getting red "Y-Yibo!"

"Oops... Zhan Zhan, why are you leaving" Yibo pouted. Xiao Zhan glared at him "You two are not letting me watch peacefully!"

Yibo glared at Darren before hugging Xiao Zhan who had landed on his lap "I'll be quiet. Zhan Zhan, just protect me"

Darren rolled his eyes and continued watching the show. Xiao Zhan watched and he slowly became comfortable as he started leaning against Yibo.

Yibo smiled happily but the next second, a ghost popped out with a bloodcurdling scream. Yibo flinched and shouted "AHHHHHHH!"

Xiao Zhan jolted too, because of the sudden loud sound, and because he felt like he went deaf. His ear went numb and there was a sharp pain.

Xiao Zhan immediately struggled off Yibo. "Zhan Zhan! Where are you going?! Don't leave me with the ghost!"

"Wang Yibo!" Xiao Zhan shouted back "You just made me deaf! I'm never watching horror shows with you anymore!"

Xiao Zhan stormed back to his room and Darren winced "That was a... Very loud scream... Even my ear drums are hurting now..."

Darren too went back to his room while Yibo was surprised. He flinched when the television in front of him flashed. Yibo immediately ran to Xiao Zhan's room.

Yibo shut the door and calmed his heart, then turned around. He froze when Xiao Zhan glared at him before continuing to read his book.

Yibo went nearer "Zhan Zhan... I'm sorry..." Xiao Zhan continued reading his book while Yibo thought of what he should do.

Yibo went on the bed, sliding under the blanket. "W-What are you doing!" Xiao Zhan who was surprised, mumbled. Yibo smiled "You were ignoring me"

Xiao Zhan placed down his book and lightly pushed Yibo "O-Okay... Now get back to your mattress or should I sleep there?"

Yibo hugged Xiao Zhan "Zhan Zhan, there is so much space on your bed. Let's just both sleep here"

"T-There is no space..." Xiao Zhan mumbled, trying to wriggle his way out. Suddenly, he froze as Yibo kissed his ear.

Yibo then whispered "Sorry, is your ear better now? I didn't mean to scream in your ear" Xiao Zhan blushed "I-It's fine already..."

Yibo smiled and pulled Xiao Zhan towards him "That's good then" Yibo continued hugging Xiao Zhan. "... Yibo... Aren't you going back to your mattress?"

Yibo faked a few snores and Xiao Zhan sighed. He tried getting up but Yibo held him tightly. Giving up, Xiao Zhan laid there while looking at Yibo's face.

Yibo peeked open an eye to see Xiao Zhan staring at him. Xiao Zhan blushed and looked away while Yibo chuckled and hugged him in a more comfortable position.

"Zhan Zhan, I love you" Yibo whispered and gave him a forehead kiss. Xiao Zhan kept his eyes closed. After some time, he opened them "Yibo... do you think your love for me will ever change?"

Yibo shrugged "I don't know. You're the first one I felt this way for. And if it changes, I only hope it changes for the better"

"How will it change for the better?" Xiao Zhan asked and Yibo smiled "Loving you more than I already do"

Xiao Zhan blushed "I-Is that possible?" Yibo the smirked "Zhan Zhan, so you think my love for you now is so much and it can't be more"

Xiao Zhan felt his face heat up and Yibo chuckled and hugged him close. "Zhan Zhan, I won't say for sure but I'm confident I won't stop loving you. I also don't think I can find someone better than you.

Someone who loves me for so long, someone who is willing to come back even if I cheated on you, someone who is willing to accept me for me. And most importantly, someone who I love back"

Xiao Zhan pouted "Don't think that way. I'm not willing to come back if you cheat on me"

Yibo chuckled "Didn't we clear this up? That time was an obsession. But this time it's love. I love you, Zhan"

"... I love you too" Xiao Zhan said and Yibo widened his eyes "What did you say? Say it again!"

"I'm not saying" Xiao Zhan said and hid himself, making Yibo chuckle "It's okay, I know. You love me"

Xiao Zhan rolled his eyes and Yibo pulled him closer "So... are you willing to let me be your boyfriend now?"

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment before nodding his head and Yibo smiled widely, almost crushing Xiao Zhan with a hug.

Yibo gave Xiao Zhan a kiss on his forehead and they stared at each other before engaging in a kiss. Xiao Zhan smiled as he hugged Yibo back.

They ended up falling asleep just like that, in each other's arms. Meanwhile, a lady somewhere was twirling a knife in her hand.

She recalled the conversation with her father a few weeks ago. "Honey, Wang Qiren wants to cancel the marriage, sorry"

"No! You must do something! Threaten him or something! Yibo is mine!" The lady shouted. Her father sighed "Honey, I have been threatening him from the start. But it doesn't work now. He says no matter what, the deal is off and there won't be the marraige"

The lady stopped twirling the knife and smirked to herself "Yibo... Yibo... You're the most handsome guy I have ever seen... And the best things must be mine... Mine!"
