Zhang Bao- Ziang

Guān Xing-Anguo

It was an early afternoon in the academy, as Zhang Bao began to slump into his chair as his best friend, Guan Xing tutored him in the study hall. As Guan Xing kept explaining their recent studies in geometry, Zhang Bao began to doze off , boredom and low energy consuming his attention.

"...Do you understand,Ziang," Guan Xing finally asked, looking over to see Zhang Bao on the verge of falling asleep. Guan Xing slightly frowned, but the frown shortly twisted into a soft smile, as his friend slowly plunged into a semi-heavy slumber. Guan Xing took the time instead to let his friend sleep, focusing on his own studies.

As Guan Xing came to an end on his schoolwork, he decided to start packing up, noticing his friend still snoozing away as he moved.

' he must've been really tired,' he thought, turning over in his chair to get a closer look at the sleeping brunette. Guan Xing couldn't help but to stare at how peaceful and beautiful his friend looked, the reddish-orange rays of sunlight perfectly shining softly on his lightly tanned skin, chest rising and falling at a delicate pace. He softly ran his hand across Zhang Bao's cheek, feeling the warmth against his skin almost instantly, as he traced the outline of his jaw. Zhang Bao suddenly began to move, causing the retract back, startled. Zhang Bao grumbled, still in a deep sleep, and Guan Xing took it as a moment to wake him up.

"Ziang...Ziang, wake up," Guan Xing murmured lightly shaking his friend's shoulder. Zhang Bao slowly open his eyes, before raising his head, innocently rubbing his eyes. As ZhangBao sat there everything began to come back to him.

"O-Oh no, the tutoring, Anguo, I-I'm sorry-"

"- don't worry, Ziang, it's okay," he interrupted with smile. Zhang Bao couldn't help but to slightly pout in guilt as he lazily got up from the chair.

"Did you sleep well,"

"kinda, i've just been super tired lately," Zhang Bao confessed, grabbing his things as they left the study hall and headed to their dorm rooms. Guan Xing slightly tilted his head in question, but decided not to ask why immediately. Walking down the halls Guan Xing noticed Zhang Bao's struggles to keep going, and instinctively made a decision.

"You look very weak, why don't we take my stuff real quick to my dorm and then I'll you take to yours,"

Zhang Bao look indecisive for a moment before nodding in agreement. Guan Xing smiled as they kept walking fortunate enough to be right around the corner from the shu dorms.

Unlocking his door, Guan Xing walked in, Zhang Bao following after and Guan Xing instantly started to put his stuff away so that he could get Zhang Bao to bed quicker. Turning over to his bed he found Zhang Bao already snuggled up, shoes and bag by the door. Guan Xing sighed in defeat as his friend fell asleep in his bed. Guan Xing slowly walked over, crouching to the bed's level, Guan Xing began to shake his tired friend shoulder, only to get mumbles in return.

"Ziang… come on, you have to get up."

"I don't wanna."

"Come on, Ziang."

"Please let me sleep here, Anguo," Zhang Bao sleepily begged, slightly getting up, arms holding up his torso.

"Why?"

"Because i don't want sleep in my dorm,"

'Why not?"

"Because you're not there." Zhang Bao whined, before realizing what he had just said, and blushing. Guan Xing's eyes widened as the words through him off left field. Zhang Bao looked down, embarrassed before turning away in Guan Xing's cover.

"Please… just let me sleep here," Zhang Bao mumbled, voice slightly muffled into the soft sheet. The room was silent for a moment, before the sound of tossing sheet could be heard and Zhang Bao felt a slight bit colder. Finally, Zhang Bao sat up to see Guan Xing Tugging at Zhang Bao's school uniform.

"You should get comfy then, my love," Guan Xing softly cheered, crawling onto Zhang Bao's lap. Zhang Bao instantly began smiled, body still slightly weak. Guan Xing ruffled his fingers through Zhang Bao's hair before kissing his forehead softly and lovingly, feeling nothing but warmth against his lips.

Zhang Bao sank into Guan Xing's embrace as he sweetly, but swiftly began to remove his heavy clothing , and laid him down to sleep. He gave Zhang Bao one more kiss on the cheek, before he got up to switch to his pjs, causing Zhang Bao to whine.

"Anguo, wait." Zhang Bao mumbled grabbing his wrist before pulling him close. He kissed Guan Xing tenderly on lips before let go of his hand. The kiss lasted for what seemed like an eternity, as they sweetly tasted each other lips, tongues dancing together innocently. They smiled at each other they parted, fingers noticeably tangled in each others' hair.

"I love you, Anguo."

"I love you too, Ziang."
