Xia Yu Hao

Xia Yu Hao laid on his bed glancing at the clock on his night stand willing the hands to go faster. It was only 5:30 in the morning and he has been up since 4:00am unable to sleep in his excitement to go to school today.

In the past hour he has already cleaned his room, folded the laundry, taken a shower, put on his uniform, packed a lunch and made breakfast for him and his mother. The latter who's alarm clock usually goes off at 6:00. He has nothing to do for the next hour but close his eyes and think about the source of his excitement and nervousness his senior Qiu Zi Xuan. Just saying his name makes a huge grin come across his face and bring a blush to his cheeks.

Qiu Zi Xuan is the senior manager of the volleyball team that Yu Hao realizes that he was crazy in love with. This revelation came to him on the volleyball team day trip a few days ago.

After running to Zi Xuan aid when he started to have leg cramps in the shower, he accidently got the chance to see his senior naked for the first time. Zi Xuan towel the only thing that separated him from the world was left on the bench when they both ran into the stalls to hide from the rest of the team coming in.

When senior mention that his towel was missing and he couldn't bend down to pick it up because his cramp leg. Yu Hao froze in place and slowly glanced down and saw paradise for the first time. He had to slap his hand over his eyes to respect senior privacy and also prevent himself from trying to look again. The huge grin that went across his face and stayed there was unavoidable. He rush to get the towel handed it back to Zi Xuan with his eyes still closed and ran as fast as he could out the building. He could no longer deny what his body has been telling the rest of him for some time. His body knew from the first time he saw Zi Xuan serve the volleyball over the net who he wanted. It was poetry in motion watching Zi Xuan jump spike the ball. Even knowing that he was in a lot of pain as he did it, his love for the game pushed the pain away, it was beautiful. Yu Hao never saw anyone so determine nor someone care about something so much. It moved him as nothing ever did and he begin to respect Zi Xuan and wanted to look good in his eyes.

Of course that's all he thought it was from the start respect for a senior. It took the rest of him longer to realize that the respect was only a small part of the love he was feeling.

Of course realizing that he loved his senior made Yu Hao super happy. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep that night sleeping side by side with the rest of the team. His restlessness made him notice when Zi Xuan got up from his mat limping toward the bathroom. Already prepared with a hot towel compress he stay up with the senior massaging his leg the rest of the night until Zi Xuan went to sleep. Then Yu Hao brought him back to his mat laid him down and placed a sleeping bag over him like a blanket, tucking him in. He removed his glasses, laid down next to him and stared at the beautiful face in front of him unable to keep the smile off his own face. Brushing the hair away from ZI Xuan face he couldn't help but be amazed that he didn't understand this need sooner. It just made sense, everything makes sense now. It felt as if a quiet calm has come over him now and everything in the world was right. Now that he has this new found knowledge and he knew that he loved him he wanted to let Zi Xuan know of his feeling.

The opportunity presented itself while Zi Xuan was explaining the rules of volleyball to him the next day. Having asked the senior if he missed playing sport at all. ZI Xuan goes into this passionate spew about not ever leaving the game just coming at it from another way. Using his brain to play the game. His passion and determination to be a part of the game no matter what role he played was just one of the many things that Yu Hao adore about him.

Unable to resist the pull of his attraction for him, Yu Hao body took the matter out of his hands. With the net between them Yu Hao leans over and took possession of Zi Xuan soft lips. He eyes close in bliss from the intense feeling that rushes through his body. The kiss was short but felt right. Yu Hao than said "I know I'm crossing the line but this is not a game. Qui Zi Xuan, I like you. "

Instead of being over the moon as Yu Hao was, Zi Xuan became super angry. He started walking away and yells, "We're having a match tomorrow and you are telling me this now" He shakes his head " I can't think about this now."

He told Yu Hao not to call his name and leave him alone as he pushes him away. It was the happiest and saddest day of Yu Hao life. Happiest because he had his first kiss with the person he loves. Saddest because the person he loves hated him. He ran away crying his eyes out. Trying to hide his pain. He really thought that nothing could make him feel worse than having the love of your life disgusted with him but he was wrong.

Zi Xuan asked him to come out a couple of days later. After Zi Xuan had been avoiding him the past few days he was happy because he knew he would get to see him. When he showed up at the meeting place Zi Xuan was there along with his little sister Qian Ru who had a huge crush on him. When she confessed to him right there he wished that the floor would open up and swallow him up whole. He knew what hell really felt like. The pain of seeing his beloved avoiding his eyes. Ignoring his wants and trying to push his sister on him instead was too much. He wanted to run away the sadness was to great. But pushing through the sadness was anger. Anger that instead of Zi Xuan manning up and telling him to his face that he rejected his love he instead tried to push someone elses love on to him. The two feeling were waring within him until the anger won the match. With this new bust of adrenaline he lists all of the point to her about why it couldn't be her. He asked if she can like volleyball, tutor him in English, wear glasses, be 180cm, 65kg, a person that take care of others above their own needs, who love volleyball so much you can't play but are willing to be a manager etc..... He ends it with if you can become him I will be your boyfriend. He felt like an idiot and stupid for hoping. He cried a lot that day. The sadness finally overpowered the anger and he cried.

The black cloud over his head didn't seem to affect other around him . Everyone else around seem to be even more happier than usual. The Wang brothers who are usually at odd with each other were all cuddly in the corner hugging on to each other. Yu Hao was happy for his friends that they resolve some of their problems. Just why did they have to be all lovey dovey around him today.

"Hey" he said to them after it became to much to stomach.

They both look at him with questions in their eyes. He didn't' want to answer them he was just being a sour apple. Yu Hao phones rings he answers its the captain. Whatever was said he takes off running towards the gym. Zi Xuan had a leg cramp. He sits down and starts to rub his legs trying to get the knot out. The pain of the past week of Zi Xuan rejection and avoiding of him is all forgotten. All he care about is his love in pain.

"Sorry" was the first thing Zi Xuan says after two minutes of silent between them.

Yu Hao shakes his head he know he has a sister complex. "It's Ok"

Zi Xuan slowly pulls his leg away from him and hands him a drink

"You are giving me your favorite drink"

Then Zi Xuan jumps down and walkes to the middle of the gym and called his name

"Xia Yu Hao ! I'm a twelfth grader now. I have to prepare for College Entrance Exam. And also need to help He cheng En train the team. I'm Very Busy"

Yu Hao nods" I know"

ZI Xuan continues

"I like volleyball. I'm a volleyball geek."

Yu Hao jumps down as well and start walking toward him "I know that too."

Zi Xuan continues as if he didn't speak

"I'm a senior. I will graduate first and leave the school earlier than you"

"What are you trying to tell me?"

"I want to say.....Even in a situation like this . You are still willing to do massages for me?"

Yu Hao Smile and move closer to him

"Anytime and anywhere you need it"

Zi Xuan smiles after hearing his answer.

"Even if I need to skip the class"

The senior in Zi Xuan comes out and he shakes his head and say "you mustn't skip the class! I will wait patiently till you leave the school."

Hope rising "So.....You accept me?"

Yu Hao leans in for his second kiss

But Zi Xuan turns his head away

"Refuse?" Yu Hao starts to pout

Zi Xuan pulls Yu Hao closer to him by his tie and dropped a searing kiss on his pouty lips. The first kiss that they had at the volleyball net was nothing compared to this. That was a peck. There was no movement involve they were both stiff. Yu Hao was stiff because it was his first kiss and Zi Xuan was stiff because he was surprised by the kiss. This kiss felt nothing at all like that. Zi Xiao and Yu Hao fought for dominance over each other lips. Each one trying to be the victor over the other. A gasp excaped from his mouth allowing Zi Xiao access to slid his tongue in. The kiss traveled through Yu Hao body. Making him feel sensation from his head down to his toes. Yu Hao hands slowly travel up Zi Xuan arms and cup the side of his head. Pulling away to get some much need air. They both had matching wide grins on their faces.

Yu Hao reaches up and pulls off Zi Xuan glasses. Yu Hao grazing into his eyes falling mord deeper in love.

They put their heads together and give each other an eskimo kiss with their noses before Yu Hao pulled him in for another kiss.

"I think you're better without the glasses. Then we won't bump together when we kiss."

They hug each other in the middle of the school gym. Yu Hao reaching up to kiss Zi Xuan forehead.

Filled with such joy that the person you love love you back. Yu Hao and Zi Xuan leaned in closer for one final kiss.

***RIINNGGG****

A Blaring alarm clock sounded waking Yu Hao from his sweet dream. Obviously he was able to fall asleep after thinking about Zi Xuan. He looked at the time it was now time to get up for school. Fighting the urge to touch his lips that were still tingling from dreaming about kisses with Zi Xuan. With a permanent smile on his face Yu Hao got up and went to school.
