Chapter 7

Yibo pulled out the white blanket from the bed, wrapping Zhan in the huge white sheet.

He dragged the older towards the window as he jumped out of the window standing in the corner of the building as held out his hand.

"Will you believe in me ? Let me be your escape. " Yibo said smiling.

Zhan nodded as tears slipped out his eyes. He was never good at talking his problems to other people other than his father. Maybe it was because of their disinterest in listening to him.

But look at him now, holding the hands of an eighteen year old who was leading him. He followed Yibo as he held back his tears, they were walking in the corners of Zhan's apartment building. His blanket was dragging along, Yibo turned back to see the older, his eyes blinking as his breath hitched looking at Zhan. One thing the younger knew was.

Zhan was not good for his heart.

They continued to walk along when, Yibo stopped and jumped up the roof.

The younger held his hand out again.

"Let's stargaze and talk it helps."

Zhan just nodded and jumped up with Yibo's help.

They were both sitting with knees bending. Zhan was huddled up in the blanket that he dragged along with him.

"Wanna talk about it now ?" Yibo said softly.

"Yeah I-I guess, so it kinda h-happened in my workplace that I found my seniors t-talking be-behind my back a-and it honestly h-hurts. I can n-never s-speak up.
That's what happens all the time. I'm just so weak. " he sobbed.

Yibo smiled " Just because you don't speak up doesn't mean you're weak right. You're really strong you handled yourself amongst those comments. You're amazing. You should be called CASSANOVA SUPERNOVA ZHAN INVINCIBLE."

Zhan laughed his eyes turning into crescents at the stupid name Yibo gave him, wiped his cheeks with his overlong sleeves.

They looked up at the night sky and neither of them knowing names of the stars pointed at the sparkling lights naming them whatever they wanted.

"That's spongebob"Zhan said.

"Then one next to it is Patrick then"

"What about that one it's purplish ?"

"Dora"

"Really ?"

"Yeah and that one is bangbang history and that one is democratic China. That one is Dalai lama."

Zhan only giggled at the younger's stupidity.

"Well I noticed something Bodi, you do not call me gege at all."

"So ?"

"Respect child" Zhan said flicking Yibo's forehead.

"I am not a child !"

"Yes you are, one that is six years younger than me."

" Am not, I'm an eighteen year handsome young teenager who was born to bless the human population with his looks."

"You narcissist"

Zhan said as he began to to tickle Yibo's sides.

"D-don't do this its"

"Call me ge or I won't stop"

"Okay okay Zhange happy"

"Yeah"

Zhan who was cuddled up in the blanket looked at Yibo who as in thin clothes. Zhan feeling bad for the younger who had actually wrapped him up in the first place.

Yibo felt a tug in the corner of his shirt, he turned his head to see Zhan pulling him closer to his body and throwing half of the blanket to his side. Yibo was flustered and his stomach felt terribly funny. What was this bunny of a man gonna do to him? He had to be in control.

A calm silence took over the situation when Zhan decided to break the soft spell that seemed to be in the atmosphere.

" I feel comfortable with you Bodi. It's very strange, very strange. You are just a stranger but, today. I-I don't know." He whimpered.

"I'm sorry I wanna cry."

"It's alright you can cry. No ones gonna see us."

Zhan looked up with his innocent looking doe eyes which had loose tears. Yibo just melted at the scene.

Abort mission Zhan. That's all that was chanting in his mind. He placed a hand on his chest.

Zhan was really not good for his heart.

Yibo hugged Zhan, his arms engulfing the older's body.

"Do you know when you hug for twenty seconds your brain sends signals to your body such that you begin to trust them. Let's try"

Yibo knew that he felt attracted towards Zhan. He knew he admired him, he tried to get closer to him to settle his feelings.
