Chapter Six
"Quan!" Gan Ning smiled he was perched in the tree looking straight at Sun Quan, he was so close to him they could have kissed. Sun Quan roused from his thoughts, seeing Gan Ning, let out a slight scream and jumped back. Gan Ning laughed moving from the tree to the now available windowsill.
"Don't you ever use the door?!" Sun Quan bellowed Gan Ning just smiled saying nothing Sun Quan flustered at having screamed and being called Quan Gan Ning was the only person who addressed his that way, he turned away from Gan Ning. Gan Ning sat down on the windowsill his bells jingled as he moved but Sun Quan refused to look at him until his face had stopped burning so much. He was pretending to look at something, Gan Ning moved his head slightly so he had a good view and used the opportunity to take in all of Sun Quan, it wasn't something he had the opportunity to do often so when he got to see any part of Sun Quans beautiful body he enjoyed it.
He was taking in every inch of Sun Quan practically ravishing him with his eyes from his neck to this feet not a single inch was over look. As soon as Sun Quan started to look back at Gan Ning he moved his head so he was looking at something else and Sun Quan was non the wiser.
"What do you want Gan Ning?" Sun Quan asked shortly Gan Ning didn't look at him he just rested his head against wall behind him, lifting on of his knees up he rested his arm on it. Sun Quan started to get frustrated Gan Ning was always like this it was like he constantly questioned his authority why wouldn't he just answer him? He always answered straight away whenever he had talked to his father or brother.
"Would you just answer me already!" Sun Quan shouted it wasn't like him to shout over something like this but just lately it had really started to bug him. Gan Ning tipped his head back slightly looking at Sun Quan out the corner of his eyes. Sun Quan felt his cheeks burn slightly and fidgeted on the spot there was that intense look in his eyes, it always stopped him in his tracks.
"Just makin' sure you're alright." Gan Ning said Sun Quan felt a pang in his chest and his expression turned to one of such sadness. It almost broke Gan Ning's heart to see it he went to say something but stopped himself slipping off the window sill he climbed back down the tree into the court yard below, leaving Sun Quan with only the sounds of his bells ringing through this ears.
Sun Quan rushed to the open window and looked out of it desperately scanning the court yard but Gan Ning was no where to be seen. He trudged through the room and flopped down on his bed with his arms above his head Gan Ning moved to quickly he was already out of sight.
He sighed looking at the ceiling it was so far away and somehow seemed relative to how he felt about Gan Ning. He rolled onto his side folding his hand under his head and sighed. His mind started to get cloudy and he started to think of things he kept locked at the back of his mind.
