The Assassin's Enemy Lover

In his left hand, he was holding an electric toothbrush while listening to Yi Chen. “What do you mean by weird dreams?” asked Yi Chen while typing something on a separate screen.

It seemed like he was multi-tasking but in truth, he was covering up his covetous eyes that were greedily glancing at Zi Han’s chest muscles.

The image was both provocative and temptatious that one could occasionally see his adam’s apple bobbing as though he was enduring something.

“I mean like a spring dream. Sometimes there will be some second base action... you know the tongue kissing and fondling through outside clothes type of action,” explained Zi Han his voice casual like he was discussing the weather.

Yi Chen’s eyes darkened further as he gulped moistening his dry throat. He supposed Zi Han’s dreams were a result of the other night. Crossing his fingers he asked, “Who is partaking in this strange dream with you? Is it the same person or.....?”

Zi Han put the toothbrush in his mouth as he walked slowly to the bathroom. “Let me think,” he said before entering the bathroom.

For a moment he absent-mindedly brushed his teeth while thinking seriously. He never saw the person he was pressing down and grinding his waist up against but he felt it was definitely the same person.

There was an inexplicable familiarity in the atmosphere within this dream but he couldn’t tell who it was. With a whoosh, the tap water flowed into the sink and he lowered his head to rinse his mouth before stepping out of the bathroom.

.....

Yi Chen was still waiting for him on the video call and when he saw Zi Han coming back he straightened his back pretending not to care much but in truth, he was especially nervous that his palms were clammy.

“It’s always one person I think... I mean I can’t see their face but it feels like the same person,” said Zi Han as he sat down at the edge of his bed grabbing Mr. Twiggles. He gently pinched the shark’s tail and continued, “Maybe I am just horny?”

Yi Chen who was taking a sip of warm water from his flask cup almost choked hearing this. With a soft cough, he set the cup aside while Zi Han worriedly stared at him. “Are you okay?” he asked his brows twitching slightly.

“Yeah, *cough,” he said wiping his lips with the ball of his palm, “what did, did you mean by hem... by....”

When Zi Han asked to have this kind of conversation with him he didn’t expect that he would be this open. Sure, he should be happy Zi Han was comfortable with him enough to talk about sex but dang.... it was too stimulating that his ears were bloody red.

Zi Han zoned out for a second hearing his question that is up until he recalled what they were discussing before and said, “Maybe I need to you know.... vent it out.”

“You mean you want to....?” asked Yi Chen ready to nominate himself.

Zi Han scratched his fluffy head of hair while replying, “Yah, maybe. I mean is it weird to say that? Isn’t it only natural?”

“Don’t you need to do those kinds of things with someone you like? I thought you didn’t want to fall in love?” asked Yi Chen probing Zi Han. If Zi Han changes his outlook on things then he would surely be at the forefront pursuing him openly.

“What’s love got to do with it? Lust and love are two separate entities. I might not fall in love but the basic physical aspects need to be satisfied,” he explained but the more Yi Chen heard the more dejected he was.

He expected such a response but he couldn’t help but be a little hopeful. “Maybe I should find a pretty open-minded girl or something... uh forget it. Such a thing would always involve feelings,” he exclaimed as though having a conversation with himself.

Yi Chen felt panicked when he heard what Zi Han said. If this person is allowed to proceed with that plan he might lose it thus he had to nip it in the bud before it’s too late. “Ahem, have you tried you know.... *sigh.... um,” he said his thin-skinned nature resurfacing without notice.

Zi Han chuckled as he stared at the shy Yi Chen. “Not in a very long time... but I need some movies to set up the right atmosphere. Would you... maybe... since we are friends and all.... you can watch it with me,” said Zi Han his voice getting lower and lower as a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes.

Yi Chen felt so bashful that he couldn’t utter a word for a full minute. He loved teasing Zi Han but when Zi Han fired back like this he found himself at a loss. Just when he thought he would die from embarrassment, Zi Han laughed out loud as he lay back on his bed. After laughing for half a minute he abruptly sat up with a tear in the corner of his eye.

“I am messing with you. I am really not that crazy,” he said wiping the corner of his eye.

Yi Chen heaved a sigh before taking another sip. He didn’t need to watch adult videos because what he had in his light brain was enough to ignite his passion. It was enough to start the engine and take him for a wild ride.

Yi Chen was suddenly curious thus he asked, “What sort of adult videos are you into?” while casually placing his arm behind his head for support.

Zi Han tapped something on his light brain while saying, “Actually, I have never watched any. You know.... the federation under eighteen protection law. You can drink but you can’t watch porn policy hahaha.... but if I want to I have a way around it. In fact, I think I should watch some tonight,” he said while tapping his chin.

Yi Chen was about to respond to him when his bedroom was suddenly invaded. “Watch what?” asked Ming Ming while climbing up his bed. Yi Youxi followed suit before his head peeked through the corner of the floating screen.

“How did you? I locked that door, didn’t I?” said Yi Chen exasperated. These two were like burglars always breaking into his bedroom. He would change the passcode on his door but somehow they would always find out.

Ming Ming poked Yi Chen’s cheek while saying, “Dage’s face is so red like a cooked lobster.”

Zi Han watched their interaction with great interest. The dynamics of siblings were beyond him thus he found this fascinating. Well, that is until he noticed Yi Youxi staring at him with a thoughtful gaze.

Yi Chen noticed thus he covered both their eyes before mouthing, “Put on a t-shirt.”

Zi Han looked down at his chest and rolled his eyes. What was there to cover up? He was a man, okay?

“Hey, I can’t see,” complained Yi Youxi while Ming Ming thought it was a game,

“Are we playing hide and seek? I will start counting. One, three, seven.”

Zi Han, “....”
