Chapter 45: What's So Good About Grass?/Arc 6.4

The bell rang, signaling the start of lunch. Moments after the teacher left, the class broke into a frenzy. Some students ran out, racing towards the cafeteria.

Lunchboxes of various styles were pulled out and classmates gathered into their groups. In the boisterous classroom, only one spot seemed to be separated from everything.

Two boys sat beside each other, one leaning on the other. The older boy dotingly fed the one leaning on him, alternating between that and eating his own food.

Once the silver haired boy finished his meal, the dark haired one focused on eating, his hand naturally combing through the silky strands flowing down his friend's shoulder. Phoenix eyes narrowed in satisfaction as they gazed out the window, observing the tranquil scenery outdoors. A shout interrupted their world as the older boy finished.

"Hey, we're gonna play some basketball! Wanna join?"

Zhou Jian looked at Wang Tao to hear his thoughts on this. The boy's eyes lit up, almost unnoticibly, as he nodded his head. The classmate was a bit surprised but excitement followed soon after.

Quickly, he brought the two over to the outdoor court. The others, who were already there, noticed the three. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wait, they agreed!"

"For real?"

"Last time they didn't come. Why now?"

"Cause brother Wang was sleeping, you know how brother Jian is with him. There was no way he would have left him there."

It had become a well known fact how close those two were. After the first week of school, someone actually confessed to Wang Tao.

It wasn't surprising taking into account his ethereal visage and aura of a cold immoral, not even sparing you a glance from his position in the clouds. In addition, his smile was like flowers blooming on a spring morning, causing all to wish that the smile was just for them although it was really for brother Jian.

Unfortunately for the confessor, Zhou Jian was there and the poor soul had to suffer the possessive 'boyfriend's' murderous glares for a month. That only stopped because the older boy was too busy giving death stares to senior Yang, though nobody's sure why since senior Yang didn't seem to have those intentions.

Once the three came over, they quickly divided into teams. A Team and B Team. Almost finished with this, they were faced with the biggest problem, whose team would the two join. A short silence passed as everyone looked at each other before shifting their gaze to the pair.

"Brother Jian, quick, join my team!"

"What? No, he's joining my team! Brother Jian, don't listen to him, he's terrible at shooting."

"You bastard-"

"Stop the noise."

Everyone went silent.

Zhou Jian was satisfied and turned towards his friend. His cold face immediately softened as he asked.

"A Tao, you choose which team I go on."

"Okay?...I don't see the difference so…B Team, I'll go A."

Watching the older boy nod his head obediently like a dog, the teenagers felt a bit strange in their hearts. The students weren't too sure of how these two's relationship formed but they all had the same opinion on this situation.

[ Truly, brother Jian is whipped. ]

This sentence seemed perfect to them so their inner turmoil was swiftly settled. With the teams handled, they moved on to the game.

Getting into position, the ball was thrown up on a whistle. Zhou Jian jumped up, his long arms reaching the ball first. Grabbing it, he landed and dribbled, swerving past the boy in front of him.

Time passed as the teams played. Wang Tao awed the boys with his moves. His form was beautiful, especially so in the moments when he shot baskets. He was quick and slick, dodging or swerving around any opposer.

The purple eye shined proudly as he witnessed the other dominate the field in delight. As always, he lost to the Celestial but the Zion enjoyed it. His little cat was a star and it brightened his day whenever the other showed what a boss he was.

"Where are you taking me?"

"On an adventure."

Wang Tao's brows furrowed slightly but he decided to wait and see. The Celestial wondered what kind of surprise it would be. However, he was a bit uncomfortable with the fact that they were doing this now. The bell had just rung, signaling the end of lunch, so why weren't they going to class?

His questions were answered soon after. The pair had arrived at a spot in the back of the school where the wall was a bit lower. The silver eyes sent Zhou Jian a look and the other decided to divulge his plans.

"We're gonna skip school~"

"What? Won't we get in trouble?"

"Yes but that's the fun part!"

"..."

"Okay, escaping is actually the fun part. Just trust me, you'll enjoy it."

Zhou Jian tried to convince the other to agree. This would not be a good idea for students but who cares when you're a Demon Emperor or Celestial Emperor of Death?

Zhou Jian had brought the other here to enjoy the best of high school, not to sit down in class and learn topics with the genius learnt about 2 million years ago already, and yes Wang Tao remembered.

Wang Tao rolled his eyes but nodded. He didn't really mind. The only thing was that he couldn't see the fun in climbing over a wall.

"Before we do it, promise me one thing."

"What?"

A smirk crossed the Zion's face. Taking his friend's hand, he pulled him over to the 15 foot tall wall before jumping up.

"We've got to do it in style."

__

Two figures could be seen running across the school walls. They jumped down and sprinted across the city. Having left the school compound, they parkoured on the roofs of buildings, back-flipping and launching themselves up in the air. Not even their shadow could be spotted on the pavement as they soared over the heads of pedestrians.

Their long hair whipped behind them as their wind blew against their faces. Reaching the middle of the city, they scrambled up the tallest building and perched on the top. The two sat on the floor, watching the clouds saunter across the high sea, home to the birds.

"So, did you like it?"

"En, it was great! I never thought doing something like this could be so fun."

"Maybe one day we could go somewhere where we could release ourselves fully."

"Mm."

Glancing at the boy whose eyes were glued to the moving painting, a familiar emotion encased his heart. Slowly, Zhou Jian inched towards Wang Tao until their shoulders brushed each other.

A yelp escaped the Wang Tao's lips as Zhou Jian lifted the Celestial onto his lap to straddle him. Before the Celestial could make another peep, the Zion hugged the other tightly.

"A-A Jian, what are-"

"Shh, when will you stop asking that?"

"...When you stop being so confusing."

The older boy picked up on that whisper but didn't reply.

He held the other close until the cool body finally relaxed in his arms. He tightened his grip on Wang Tao and rested his head in the crook of his neck. Inhaling deeply, he felt the other shiver from the flittering touch there. Unable to help it, he decided to taste the sweet displayed before him slightly.

Zhou Jian lightly nipped and nibbled the other's small ear. He could feel Wang Tao tense up and the Celestial's breathing lightened. A whimper sounded from Wang Tao as his body trembled. The older boy continued moving down to his neck.

"A-A Jian…A Jian."

"Mm?"

"It hurts."

Zhou Jian froze. Had he bitten too hard? How was the other hurt? Hastily he pulled back and checked the cute earlobes, his thumb caressing it lightly. However, the youth shook his head and grabbed the other's hand.

A blush coated the Celestial's face, his silver eyes slightly flushed. He bit his lip nervously as he murmured something.

"N-not there…here."

Embarrassment flooded Wang Tao as he shyly guided the warm hand to his erection. He could no longer handle it, he was way too pent up. The fiery heat in his lower area was driving him nuts and he couldn't take it any more.

Due to the two's closeness, Wang Tao instinctively tended to ask the other when he didn't understand before looking at himself. He didn't before because the Zion was in a relationship and the problem stemmed from Wang Tao being in love with the older man. Now that Zhou Jian was single and even showing the Celestial signs which gave him slight hope, he decided to bring up his issue.

Zhou Jian's brain fried for at least a minute. The gradually fearful and regretful expression of his little cat was what snapped him out of his shock. His hand could feel the other's erection through his pants and suddenly he found himself heating up as well. Calming himself quickly, he hesitated on whether or not to remove his hand.

"Is…is there a way I can help?"

"I don't know. It's been happening so often when I'm around you but it's become so hard to control. I'm kind of scared. Is this normal?"

A helpless expression crossed his face as Zhou Jian watched the confused Celestial. Breathing deeply, he pulled the other close and explained slowly.

"You're um, ahem, having an erection. This is because you are sexually attracted to me so…your body is kind of...craving sex or some sort of relief."

Zhou Jian felt quite awkward but unfortunately for him, he had no choice but to inform the other due to the troublesome situation.

"I kind of get that but…how do you have sex? And what is the other sort of relief?"

Zhou Jian looked up to the heavens for help. Clearing his throat, he suggested something easier but more or less just as embarrassing as explaining.

"I-I can just show you how to relieve yourself."

Wang Tao didn't know what would happen but he could sense it somehow. His face was red like blood and he suddenly wanted to bury himself. Chuckling lightly, Zhou Jian observed the Celestial's expression before turning him around.

Wang Tao's back was leaning against the other's warm chest and he found it quite comfortable. He couldn't quite enjoy it at the moment though.

"Why'd you turn me around?"

"To lessen the embarrassment."

Before Wang Tao could ask for clarification, his breath hitched. A warm hand made its way into his pants and clasped around his member. An electric feeling jolted through his body as his body trembled. The other hand pulled down his pants mid thigh as Zhou Jian supported his trembling body.

His tip was brushed lightly as Zhou Jian fondled with his junior. The throbbing member stood upright as precum was already leaking out. Slowly, Wang Tao felt pleasure course through his soul as the hand pumped his member.

Whimpers escaped from his mouth and he covered it in surprise. His skin burnt as Zhou Jian sucked on his neck lightly. His sensitive body trembled and his breathing grew ragged.

Wang Tao's mind was a mess as he tried to understand what was happening. His disbelief that the other would be willing to help was washed away as he lost himself to the pleasure. He only stayed sane enough to barely hold in his moans as the other pumped faster.

The hot breath and the soft lips on his neck further worsened his self-control and didn't help his state at all. A feeling which was gradually building up reached its peak as he jerked, cumming all over. Exhausted, he slumped onto the other as he caught his breath, his face flushed.

No one made a sound but the shame quickly hit the Celestial once his mind cleared. Unable to think, he simply decided to try and forget it, besides he was really tired. Snuggling into the other's embrace, he peeked up and whispered shyly.

"Thank you, A Jian. I'm sorry for troubling you."

Not waiting for a reply, he buried his head into Zhou Jian's chest and soon dozed off. The Zion shook his head slightly before gently removing the other off him. Going to the side he hurriedly dealt with his own issue.

Once finished, he cleaned up and returned to the sleeping Wang Tao. A loving smile showed on his face as he lightly kissed the other's forehead.

Holding the Celestial tightly, Zhou Jian stood after fixing the other's clothes. Ensuring that no trail was left behind, the Zion vanished from sight.
