.CHILD.YIZHAN.

Chapter 5

Zhan had just come back from his work. He was exhausted.

He opened the door to his apartment and surprisingly the lights were all on.
He made his way to the living room to witness a person watching Dora the explorer ? on his tv.

Zhan saw the strangers head turning so in impulse he grabbed the umbrella near him and was about to smack the shit of the person's face, when-

"Yibo ? Why are you here ?"

"To take my skateboard" he said calmly.

"H-how did you enter ?"

"Your window it was open"

"What ?"

"I entered through your window. My apartment is right in front of yours. Like in another building but I'm really happy it's next to yours. " he said smiling.

Zhan knew that from now on he had to close the windows or else he had a feeling that the monkey of a Santa Claus impostor would be in his room all the time.

"Since you got your skateboard now can you go"

"No I won't"

"Why ?"

"My chocolates. You didn't give them yet and-"

Yibo started to walk towards him.

"I think you should keep this down" he said as he leaned towards his ears, holding the umbrella down.

"Yeah o-ok" Zhan said.

"Now my chocolates " Yibo beamed happily while making grabby hands.

The action melted Zhan's heart.

"I don't have them but I guess we can make them. Say you don't mind if you stay back ?" He didn't know why he proposed such an idea to a high school kid whom he barely even knew, but even though his thoughts troubled him, he made a leap forward to know this kid. Maybe just maybe something was there.

Yibo was happy no extremely happy to the point he could transcend to heaven. This undeniable attraction

"That'd be nice."

Yibo and Zhan were in their own world. Having conversations about each other.

Yibo learned that Zhan was 24 years old from Chongqing,
and he only had a dad as him mom died due to child labour. He was an intern at an online graphics designing company and had passed university every recently.

Zhan learned that Yibo was an eighteen old who hated to be called a child by him, a young high school school student who grew up with his grandparents as his parents passed away when he was younger. The younger was from Henan and had a thing for motor bikes.

"Yibo the chocolate batter is done. Look" Zhan said as he held out a bowl.

Yibo dipped his finger and licked it. Nodding his head.

"How is it ?"

"Good" he said showing an ok sign with his fingers.

Zhan shaked his head and placed the bowl down, picking a tissue and pulled Yibo's hand wiping his fingers.

"You are so childish Bodi."

Yibo's ears began to get red. He was stunned.

" You don't mind me calling you Bodi right ?"

"N-not at all."

"Good, because I think we'll be meeting a lot" Zhan smiled looking up at Yibo's face.

"But I'm not childish" Yibo said

"Yes you are" Zhan said pinching Yibo's nose.

"And you're very cute too"

"M-might be I am abit" Yibo stuttered with his red face. This isn't good he should be in control not the rhyme singing bunny head. Time for game change.

"But am I not sexy and handsome and dominating" Yibo said, coming near Zhan's ears locking him in his arms.

Zhan being oblivious to romantic advances replied.

"Obviously my Bodi is handsome too but more on the cute side" Zhan tilting his hair said while ruffling Yibo's hair.

Yibo chuckled. It's going to take a long time to woo this man.

Zhan and Yibo were currently on the couch eating chocolates, having a heated discussion on whether to watch Doraemon or Dora the explorer which so happens to be Yibo's favourite.

"Doraemon"

"Dora"

"Doraemon"

"Dora"

Zhan climbed over Yibo, while on the other hand the younger was nervous, he blinked again and again trying to process what was happening.

Zhan stole the remote from Yibo's hands.

"Got it" he declared.

What was I even thinking.

"Not yet" Yibo said.

Zhan grabbing a pillow nearby blocked him.

Yibo too grabbed a pillow launching it on Zhan's face.

Their stupid gibberish long forgotten.

"You know what this is right" Yibo said.

"I declare war Bodi"

"Then war it is"

Zhan hit Yibo with his pillow.

"Quit talking"

Yibo launched his bod on the older both of them falling on the ground, continuously smacking each other with the pillow.
They were laughing and giggling hitting each other's head.

Tired they were on the floor there bodies plopped on the ground with pillows in their fists.

"Yibo thank you" Zhan said softly.

"I should thank you" for coming to my life.

Zhan was thankful . It felt like lost youth came back to him.

It felt good.To feel comfort in the presence of this kid whom he knew in so less time.

He wished it was longer.
He wished time went slow.

Hi.
