Yitian woke up, and he wasn't alone in his bed. It was something he got used to during those years, and it felt really good at times. But not now.
He turned his head to the side and faced Chao, who was still sound asleep. He sniffled and gagged at the stench that was coming out of the normally clean person.
Yitian knew it was because Chao was by his side at all times. But have mercy, could you? Yitian had a feeling that even oxygen stank at this moment. Not saying the unwashed body.
He nudged Chao, who only mumbled something and coughed Yitian's hand harder than before. The only thing Yitian could do was sigh and breathe through his mouth for now.
He closed his eyes again and prayed that the next time he wakes up, Chao will be up and clean. Or Yitian would kick his ass.
Chao woke up as soon as he felt Yitian's nudge, but he didn't want to leave his side or got up. He just wanted to enjoy their closeness. The one that he missed the whole time.
