A Sweet And Scary Night

-Yunlan-

After welcoming Shen Wei home, Zhao gave him a slow tour to the house he buy shortly after he fell in love with Shen Wei, knowing he was more of a traditional man and a house would be more of his liking than his previous apartment. Most of his savings went to buy that house, but it had been worth the risk, now that Shen Wei was final there to enjoy it along with him. He had tried to decorate it with traditional stuff, with a big study in which Wei could work and begin his own library.

As he guide him through all the rooms, he was pleased to find that his professor was quite content, because there was a shine of happiness in his beautiful eyes, despite the pain he knew was still there. He show him the study first, which Shen approved, not by words but by the smile he gift him with, then the guest room, mostly for the idiots he worked with when they get too drunk, then the bathroom, which was big and apparently also to his taste and then he guide him straight to the master bedroom in which his king sized bed was the center of attention.

He had ask Da Qing to hire someone to thoroughly clean the house, the morning after Shen Wei was stabbed, so when they come back home, the previous mess up house, will be ready to welcome his beloved as it was intended. Shen Wei was a tidy man and he wanted to keep him content for years to come.

The lady who clean up his house, with the help of a daughter, had been told that a lover was going to move in, so she took the liberty to dress the bed with an elegant set of red and gold sheets, that his mother had gift him with, years ago. He looked at Shen Wei's reaction, the bedroom was impeccable, which was more than he probably expected and he looked pleased, slightly blushing, as red was the color of wedding, so Zhao smiled also pleased his lover was at least happy to be there.

"I wish I could have bring you here on my arms, you know, bridal style... but you are wounded and in pain." Zhao told him, hugging him from behind, but putting his arms over his shoulders and closing them around his neck.

"I am not a bride, Yunlan, no will I ever be. Marriage among men are forbidden." Shen whisper.

"A shame, but... do you like it? We can change the room to suit your taste, because honestly I don't have any aside from traditional things I thought you will like them and I want you to feel like this is truly your home, a part of you as it is a part of me." Shen Wei smiled even more beautifully.

"Your effort had been appreciated, I love it all..." Shen said turning to kiss him quite passionately, which Zhao gladly responded in return, slowly guiding him toward the big bed. Shen wanted to show his man of how much he appreciate, the way Yunlan loved him, so deeply unconditionally, to the point of blindly buying a house and slowly change it to his taste, taking the risk he will never gave in, nor move to share a life with him.

"Zhao Yunlan... You are not planning of taking advantage of me, right?" Shen Wei said as he touched the border of the bed with his legs, almost falling, if Yunlan had not had a strong hold on his upper back.

"Of course not... Sex is out of the question, but I can kiss you a bit, right? I have waited for so long..." Zhao said as he kissed the professor again.

"Fair enough... I had wished for this too Yunlan... you just had no idea..." Shen whisper as he deepen the kiss even more. He could feel the heat of his face as Yunlan slowly help him sit over the bed, then lie down with Zhao at his side, still kissing him. He felt pain when Yunlan pulled him closer, but he endure it and focus his mind in the intense pleasure, Yunlan was making feel.

"My Wei..." Zhao whisper, losing himself completely, surrendering to the man he knew was his other half, his long waited one. Shen Wei moaned, probably in pleasure, but as Zhao remember he was injured, he let go of him instantly.

"I'm sorry..." Zhao whisper.

"Don't be, I'm fine..." But right at that moment, his stomach growled in hunger, making Zhao laugh when seen his embarrassed face. He sat over the bed, while Shen Wei blushed like mad.

"Oh, my... it's past the time to feed you... wait here and have some rest. I will see what I can make you." Zhao said, as he stood up and bow to give him a kiss on his forehead, yet Shen Wei, grab his shirt to keep him there.

"Zhao Yunlan, we both know you don't know how to cook and honestly, I would want something better than instant ramen. Just tell me where the kitchen is and I will make something for the both of us." Shen said and Zhao gladly guide him to the kitchen.

It was more modest and small, with an exquisite reddish wooden kitchen island in the middle, surrounded by a few dark brown round chairs, a modern silver fridge, a wooden kitchen cabinet, a modern stove and lovely sink with a beautiful painting of a lotus flower over it. In all, it was more intimate than the rest of the house, which make him love it instantly. Seen Shen Wei mesmerized by it, he softly hug him from behind and kissed his neck.

"The whole house is a gift to you..." Zhao whisper on his ear, making him blush harder.

"I don't deserve this effort Yunlan..." Shen said while feeling guilty for all those years he rejected his advances, when he had devoted himself to give him his best.

"Sure you do... sure you do..." Shen tuned to kiss him and soon after, Zhao's phone ringed, making both of them jump and move away from one another. The caller ID showed Old Chu's name and fearing there was something suspicious outside the house, he answer.

"Old Chu, is there something suspicious out there?" Zhao asked and Shen Wei tensed by his side.

"I wish... you guys are too passionate for my taste, close up the damn kitchen curtain!" The grumpy man said, as he watched them kiss from the other side of the street in where they were making vigilance of the house. His voice was loud enough for Shen Wei to hear him and blush even more.

"What the hell, Old Chu?! I thought you wanted to eat something made by the professor? You were just nagging us about how hungry you were and itched for Shen Wei's cooking." He hear Da Qing said in the background.

"Cooking yes, no kissing..." Chu responded.

"You damn idiots! Go back to work!" Zhao yelled ending the call and moving to close the curtain of the small glass window, however, Shen Wei only smiled.

"I will make something for them too." He said looking at the content of Zhao's fridge.

"Let them starve..." Zhao said.

"Come on Yunlan, they are watching over us and there is enough for everyone."

"Ah, babe, you are an angel..." He kissed him slightly. After a while, the meal was ready and Zhao called Da Qing, so he could deliver the food to the others. He leaved the meals in a long table at the backyard of the house, hidden by some tall bushes, then he enjoyed his meal with his lover.

After talking a bit, it was time for Shen Wei's pain killers and change of bandages, which Zhao diligently changed, trying to keep his hands away from his lover. Then they go to bed, Shen Wei falling asleep by his side almost instantly, as the pills took the effect.

Zhao stared at his lovely face for the first hour, watching for any sign he was having a nightmare, but at the end, exhaustion win over his will and he too fall asleep. Hours later, he wake up as he felt Shen Wei twitch and moan by his side, while breathing rapidly.

"No, stop! Don't kill her!!!" Shen cried out while still sleeping, so Zhao quickly turned on the lamp by his bed and gently shake him, calling his name.

"Shen Wei, it's fine.... You are dreaming... Shen Wei, you are safe..." Yet Shen Wei keep mumbling incoherent things, unable to wake up from his nightmare. "Xiao Wei, I'm here... I'm here to protect you... My Wei, it's Yunlan... your Yunlan..." It was then that, Shen Wei suddenly sit up, while panting heavily. There were signs of sweet on his forehead, a few strands of hair wet by it, but Zhao simply took his face on both his hands so he will focus on him and forget the bad dream.

"My Wei... take a deep breath, everything is fine... you were just dreaming..." Zhao whisper, as his professor understood he just had a nightmare. Another one.

"Yunlan, I..."

"Don't apologize to me... I understand... come here babe..." He hug him gently and rubbed his back and said soft words for a while, until he sensed Shen's heartbeats were back to normal. Then he kissed him tenderly and lie down on the bed, while having Shen wrapped on his arms.

"Don't worry... I will always be here..." Zhao whisper, making Shen sigh in bliss.

"Yunlan... honestly, if you keep this up, I will love you for an eternity..." Zhao smiled.

"Go ahead babe, because I'm already there..."

"Did I said something that can point at the culprit?" Shen asked, as he put his head over Yunlan's chest.

"No, you just asked not to kill her... don't rush the memories, they will come when you are ready." He kissed his hair and Shen Wei smiled.

"I see you paid attention to the doctor."

"To be honest, I didn't hear much after he warned me about not having sex with you for a while..." Shen blushed instantly.

"You shameless pervert..." Zhao laughed.

"Indeed... feeling better now?" Shen smiled.

"How could I not?"

"Mmmm, good... let's just stay like this for a while." Zhao offered and Shen Wei simply closed his eyes, focusing his mind in his lover's rhythmical heartbeat until he fall asleep again, but this time, no nightmare disturbed his peaceful dream. A dream of his lover... a dream of his beloved guardian.
