Chapter 3: Where You Belong
-Shen Wei-
Zhao Yunlan was in his private heaven, feeling like a love sick teen with his first love, driving him home. That he was in a bliss, there was no doubts about it, not even to Shen Wei, who chanced a few glances to the smiling man at his side. They had talk a bit, about unimportant things, as Zhao told him about the town, the strange occurrences that happened, which gave birth to their small unit.
"We had something similar to what happen here, strange cases that can't be explained by normal investigations. We call them Guardians in Dragon City, but they don't work as much as you in here." Shen said and Zhao smiled.
"Guardians, huh? It kind of ring a bell in the back of my mind... the same way as our sudden, yet fated meeting. Shen Wei... do you believe in past lives?" Zhao asked, while he turned in a corner, now close to his home.
"How could I not? How else could I explain me knowing your name before you told me and have this feeling I had been waiting for you for a very long time." He blushed as he admitted it and Zhao smiled.
"What was your wish?" Zhao asked curiously, parking in front of a house. It was of an average size, with a small dark red fence and a stone path that leads to the wide mahogany door, illuminated with a light. It was a simple country house, but to Shen it felt more like home, than the luxury house he had living in back in Dragon City, even if he had never been there before.
"To find that which I lost, to fill the void I had live with all my life. To find you... Zhao Yunlan." Shen said while blushing. There was no point in denying the obvious, because both of them had felt the attraction instantly, most like they have live in a pause until they meet and now they could finally move forward.
"That's lovely, Shen Wei... well, we are home now. I will take you to pick up your car in the morning, it's already late. You don't need to worry about someone trying to steal it, because in small rural town, we all know each other, so those kinds of crimes are low in here." Shen smiled.
"I see... this looks like a nice place to live, quiet and peaceful, without the noise and high crime rate of the big City." Zhao smiled.
"You are welcome to stay here... I'm sure you will love it." There was that mischievous look that make his heart race. Shen blushed a bit, but hold on to that gaze, then Zhao move closer and closer still, until their lips were almost touching. Wei heart jumped inside his chest, because there was a hint of lust in Yunlan's eyes, a kind of desire that had been dormant for too long.
Then, Zhao's moved pass him, making Shen breathless for a second, as Yunlan's hair brushed his chin, giving him a tingly sensation that make him shiver, before he realize the mischievous man, had simply tease him while sensually reaching out to unhook his sit bell. Zhao deliberately took his time, making sure to touch as much as possible in the not so innocent act. When he finish freeing him from his sit belt, Zhao once again look at him and smiled.
"Breath Shen Wei, I need you alive... so I can save your soul, remember?" Zhao whisper, making Shen Wei blush more.
They were so close to kiss and it would be a big lie if he said he didn't want it, because in fact he was itching for it, to touch those sinful lips, to press his against his own, to know his taste and to explore it in full. The temptation was such, that Shen actually move by impulse to kiss Zhao Yunlan, but when he was about to do so, his mobile ringed, making him move away from Yunlan. Zhao sighed, as Shen smiled in apology, taking the call without looking the name and answer it.
"Gege! You finally pick up. What took you so long? Didn't you promise to call back? Are okay? Did you reach that forsaken town? When will you come back? I miss you already..." Zhao arched his eyebrow hearing the voice of the demanding man as clear as Shen Wei.
"Ah, Didi, yes I am fine and I was... distracted in the festival, I forgot my phone on the car, so I didn't realize you had call me before." Shen said, ignoring Zhao's mischievous smile.
"Then, come back home, now that you went there and did what you need to. It's not like your wish will be granted anyways... that's mostly a country town folklore, something made off..."
"Ye Zun, that's rude, this people did not make a festival to fool strangers. Sorry, but I kind of like it here, so I will stay for a while, as I told you before. I will call you later, okay? I am a bit busy unpacking. Give mom a kiss for me. Good night." And he ended the call. Zhao laughed, as Shen blushed.
"Now I know you are such a good liar and to your Didi no less?" Zhao asked with humor.
"He wants me back, do you want me to tell him I fainted? If he ever find out, he will come here and force me to go, do you want me to go too?" Shen asked.
"No, of course not. I just have less than an hour with the conscious you. So... let's go in, it's cold in here." Zhao said and open the door of his red Hummer, Shen Wei follow his example and shadow Yunlan to the door that his host open with a brim of happiness. The light went on as soon as he enter and looking inside his living room, Zhao cursed, remembering that his place was nothing more than a dirty nest. He immediately turned and trapped Shen Wei between the closed door and himself.
"Ah, Shen Wei... maybe it will be best if we go somewhere else for the night." Zhao said and Shen simply smiled. He had seen the obvious mess and for an unknown reason, he had expect it.
"Zhao Yunlan this is not the first time I had seen a man mess. Do you have some tea? Why don't you make us some and I clean your place while you do it," He said with an angelical smile that melted Zhao in the spot.
"Ah, that would be rude, I am your host... you should be treated like a prince." Zhao reply, still trapping him in place.
"I am no prince and I'm used to clean all my twin brother mess." At the mention of a twin brother, Zhao frowned. That too ringed a bell inside his head, a difrent one he didn't knew what it meant.
"Twin brother? Identical twins?" Zhao asked.
"Yes, do you mind that someone else share my same face?" Zhao smiled and move closer to whisper in his ear once again.
"No... but he is not my twin..." Zhao whisper, putting his hands over Wei's hips and gently crush him again the door. The implication was quite clear, he is not mine, you are.
"Zhao Yunlan..."
"It's plain Yunlan for you." Zhao slightly kiss Wei's neck.
"Yunlan..."
"Mm?"
"This is..."
"Too fast? Maybe, but it feels right..."
"Why did you wanted to save me? With what did you dreamed about?" Shen asked.
"You were killed right in front of me. A man with white hair and a gold mask stab you right in your heart, in another life. You try to save me first, taking a blow of some dark energy for me and you were killed instead a bit after..." Zhao hug him.
"Shen Wei... I scream your name and yelled my heart out, because you meant everything to me... but you were killed, I watch it happen and could do nothing to stop it or prevent it. I saw you get kill almost every night for years... Pardon my advances, this soon, but after seen you get kill for so long, you can understand... this time around, I won't let go of you..." Shen Wei hug him tighter.
"I dreamed too, but could never remember what happen that clearly, I only remember the feeling of yearning for someone I didn't knew existed. I have live with a huge void, knowing that someone very important to me is missing, someone I watched and yearned for centuries. I missed you, I wanted you, I needed you with all my heart, but never found you, never see you and never hear your voice. Yunlan... we make a bet, to meet again in another lifetime... and so here we are..." Shen whisper.
"Bring together by a wish..."
"Not a wish, but fate... I would have never know about the Wishing Temple if not for that monk who told me to come here..."
"Bless him... for give you back to me." Zhao whisper as he let go of Shen, just enough to look at him. "Where you belong." Shen smiled.
"With you, Ah Lan." Shen Wei whisper before he gave the first step and kiss Yunlan, right there at the door. He didn't hold back, neither did Yunlan and soon, the host was guiding his guest to the nearest couch, in where he fall with Shen Wei on top of him, like when they were on the hospital.
"My Wei..." Zhao whisper in his ear as Shen roll up Zhao's shirt to have a touch on his skin. His soft, yet demanding caress over him make Yunlan moan and soon he found himself at the mercy of his guest passion, as he kissed, then explored with his hand up and down, making Zhao go crazy with desire.
"Ah, Shen Wei..." He moaned, when Shen trapped a nipple after getting rid of his shirt, who was somehow cut and out of the way. Then the lights with movement sensors flicked a bit over their heads, but Zhao was too absorbed in Shen Wei's passion to give it importance, although the detail was stored somewhere inside his mind.
Then Shen's hand lower even more and soon, Wei moved his hips over Yunlan's lap back enough to grab the border of his host jeans. Zhao arched as Shen unbutton his jean, wich was one of the two things trapping his arousal, then Wei also slowly unzipped his pants, gaining a deeper moan from the man bellow him. It was when Shen hand was about to reach Yunlan's arousal when the tilt and turn glass window at the wall burst open on its own by a very strong wind. Both of them were startled by the sound of the window been open with force, then the strong wind coming in, at the same time, the light went off.
Zhao had a bad feeling about it all and move Shen to his side, so he could protect him if there was the need. He didn't have his gun with him, as he was first in the festival and later in the hospital looking after his new found lover, but he knew by instinct that they had an uninvited guest. Something that was the reason Zhao was the Chief of SID, something that didn't fit nor belong in their world.
"Yunlan..." Shen whisper, but Zhao cover his lips with his hand to quiet him.
There was a shadow out of place outside the open window from were the cold wind enter. That was not the first time something like that had happen around, specially in the night. Many citizens had reported to his office the sight of a strange shadow and wind, but he never found evidence or the source of the strange phenomena. Even so, Zhao stood up slowly, making sure to stay in front of him to protect him, although the shadow didn't came in, nor move. Then as sudden as it came, it was gone.
Zhao sighed in relief and moved to close the glass window as the lights went on again, then look at Shen Wei, who was deep in thought for a second before staring back at Yunlan.
"That was..." Wei whisper.
"Yeah, damn piping tong! It was getting so hot..." Shen Wei sighed in resignation. This was probably the typical Yunlan trying to dismiss a very wierd expiriance, while mentally taking in every detail to look at the new case later.
"Seriously you... what about that tea?" Shen follow his host example, smiling charmingly at Zhao, who came to kiss him first.
"Sure, just forget about the cleaning and stay close to me." Zhao said seriously.
"Deal..." And after a bit of general conversation, while both if them were trying to look for an explanation of what happen internally, Zhao guided Shen to the master bedroom, in where they fall asleep in each other's arms soon after.
AN: I was going to end this story just after they make up, but then the shadow of supernatural got in the way and ruined my cute ending. 😢😭 Oh well, the more the better? 🤔😁
