"..and she felt a rain droplet hit her cheek."

"Hm?"

Dejun snapped his head up from his book and gave a smile.  "Sorry, I've just been so into this book!"  He showed off the new release of his favorite author.  "She really makes you emotional."

Yangyang sighed and held his chest.  The sudden voice in the quiet room was enough to make a flock of birds retreat.  He looked back down at his phone and tilted his head.  I should be used to that by now..  He told himself.  Dejun has been his dorm mate for a few years now.  It started in high school and it's continuing through college.

He looked from his phone to the one reading on the couch.  "Hey,"  He noticed Dejun's eyebrows twitching, "I didn't mean to offend you by getting startled."  He noticed the other looking disinterested in his book.

Dejun slowly lifted his eyes to look at Yangyang.  "No.. it's just the book, Yang-di."  He said, putting a bookmark where he stopped at.  "It was the end of the chapter.  It ended with her crying in the rain."


Yangyang furrowed his eyebrows while thinking.  Those books really do get to him, huh?  He looked at his phone and smiled.  "Hey, Hendery is finished his last class of the night."  He mentioned.  "I'm going to go suprise him."

Dejun smiled and watched the younger hop off of the bottom bunk and rush to the door to put his shoes on.  He then checked his hair in the mirror and straightened his jacket.  "You're beautiful!  Now get to him before he leaves the campus."  He laughed as he watched the other, flustered male.

Yangyang waved and left the room.  He made his way to the school building just in time for Hendery to be exiting.  He put his arms around the other's stomach from behind.  "Yang?"

The younger hummed in confirmation.  Hendery smiled when he felt the other snuggle close up to his back as they continue walking.  "Are you hungry?"  He asked, getting another hum.  He laughed and stopped to turn around when there wasn't a crowd of students around them.

Hendery lifted Yangyang's chin a bit a put a small kiss on his lips.  "Do you want to have dinner with me then?"  He asked in his usual, calm voice.

However, his heart still can't get over that look the younger gives only him.  He might act young around Dejun, but around Hendery, Yangyang acts dependent and clingy.  Not like the typical, cute boyfriend, but like a sign that Hendery has him in a trap and knows it.  And Yangyang doesn't mind them not being the only one who knows it, either.

Yangyang smiled with a nod.  "Let's go to your apartment."

"I.. No.. Let's not."  He said as he linked their arms.

"Oh?"  Yangyang was confused as they continued walking to the parking lot, "why not?"

Hendery scratched the back of his head.  "I just don't want you there right now.  I want to go eat out."  He assured with a promising smile.

To say Yangyang was skeptical would be an incredible understatement.  Most boyfriends would automatically assume the other is cheating or holding a secret.  And like most, Yangyang is in that class.  "What?  Do you have a boy over there or something?"  He put his fists on his hips, even the one that his arm is connected to Hendery's arm. 

Hendery stopped as they made it to his car.  "No."  He said seriously.  "That boy's standing in front of me, how can he be in my apartment?"  He asked with a proud smile as he the younger's hair.

"I like your couch though.. it's way more comfortable.."  He muttered.

"You should tell Dejun to go read somewhere else then."  He suggested.  "Does he even study when he gets to the dorm?"  He asked as he opened his car door.

Yangyang shrugged and opened the other door and sat inside the car.  He put his seat belt on and looked at the other male.  "You aren't-"

"Never in a million years, Love.  I'm just working on something, and the apartment is a mess."  Hendery said seriously as he cupped Yangyang's cheek.


Yangyang saw the other's serious expression.  His lips were a thin line and his nose was clenched up while his eyes were as sharp as daggers.  He nodded slowly, understanding that Hendery is being honest.  "Okay.."  He whispered. 

Hendery thumbs the other's cheek and leans in to kiss him again.  It was a softer kiss than earlier, which is saying something.  Their kisses don't normally get rough, but when they get light, they weigh less than paper.  They smile at the same time and look into each other's eyes.  "Okay.."  Yangyang repeated.  "You better show me what it is when you're finished."  He said with a teasingly stern index finger.

The older grasped that wrist and put a kiss on the back of the hand.  "I promise.  Now let's go fill our stomachs, hm?"  He insisted.

Seeing the other's jealous gaze was something that Hendery for some reason hated.  Some people like to see their partner being jealous.  They like to know that they still care and want to latch onto them as much as possible.  However, Hendery finds it better without those jealous moments.  There's truly nothing to be jealous over..  He thought.

He started the engine and backed out of the space.  They drive to a small restaurant and order their usual.  After eating, Hendery drove the younger back to the campus and then to his apartment. 

He looked at the project that was literally everywhere in his apartment.  He scratched his head and took out his phone.  Dialing his friend's number, he puts his book bag on his couch.

"Hey, Dejun.  Can you do me a favor?"  He asked as he sat down on the comfortable piece of furniture.

"What's up?"

Hendery thought back to earlier with Yangyang.  "If Yangyang is still anxious about why I didn't invite him to my apartment, can you try to cansole him?  I've been working hard on something for him, and I want it to be a surprise."  He explained as he took out a binder.

"Oh?  What kind of thing are you making him?"  Dejun asked in a wondering tone.

"A birthday present,"  He answered with a chuckle, "I only have a couple weeks left.  Do you think you can convince him for me that there's nothing wrong if he starts up?"

He heard the other hum.  "You better be working hard.  And tell me how it goes.  Oh!  He's here." 


"Hm?  Yeah, I'm here, what's up?"  Yangyang said as he closed the door.  "Who are you talking to?"  He asked.

Dejun put his phone down and smiled.  "Hendery.  He wanted to make sure you made it."  He lied.  "How did eating go?"


Yangyang gave a skeptical eye as he sipped on the smoothie he bought on his way to the dorm building.  "Good, and studying?"  He asked as he took off his shoes.

Dejun shrugged.  "I got a perfect score on my history quiz today, so I guess it's pretty okay."  He commented. 


Yangyang finished the smoothie and stretched his arms with a yawn.  "Time to shower and hit the sack, huh?"  Dejun raised his eyebrows with an amused smile.  "Gotta sleep so you can do school and then hang out with Hendery."  He joked.

The younger sat down on the couch right next to Dejun.  Maybe a little bit too close for Dejun as the other male was about to get up from the couch.  "Do you know what he's doing?!  He said I wasn't allowed to go to his apartment for the night.  What's he got there?"  He folded his arms.

Dejun fought back a laugh at the other's pathetic pout.  "I'm sure it's nothing."  He said.

"He's had school projects messing up his apartment before and let me go with him.  What's so different now?"  He asked with a huff and flipped his bangs out of his eyes.  "I think I'll just sneak over there when he's in class tomorrow.  I know his passcode."

Dejun's eyes widen.  "N-no!"  His abrupt rejection gained the other's full attention.  "I mean.. what if he's embarassed over it?   He doesn't want you to have to see his failure, probably.." 

"Why would you say he's a failure?"  Yangyang mumbled with furrowed eyebrows.

Some consoler I am..He inwardly shook his head and held his forehead.  "What I'm saying is, just trust Hendery, okay?  Relationships are based on trust, right?"  He asked, getting a hum of confirmation.  "He hasn't lied in these three years you've been dating, right?"

Yangyang nodded and looked down at the boring carpet.  "I just.."

Dejun smiled and patted Yangyang's shoulder.  "I know that you're just worried something bad might happen, but please don't.  Hendery is a responsible man and would tell you if something's up."  He assured.  "Now go shower and then go to bed."  He instructed.


Yangyang nodded and got up.  He brought his pajamas with him and left to the bathroom. 



The next several days were full of temptation as Yangyang has been hanging outside of the older's apartment door while Hendery has been in class.  He bit his lip as he looked down at the key pad.  If there was one thing about numbers he could remember even if he got amnesia, he would still know the passcode to the apartment.

He opened the plastic lid that covered the keypad.  His index finger hovered over the first number as a drop of sweat slowly makes it down his cheek.  What's going on in there?  He asked himself as he heard something coming from inside the apartment.

He was about to press down on the key, but a hand took hold of his wrist.  "Yang!  What are you doing?"  Dejun asked as he took that hand away from the number pad.

"I.."

"You have one minute to explain yourself before I call Hendery.  And you know he's in class."  He said with a stern look.  "I told you not to come here, yet you come here almost every day."  He stated.

Yangyang looked down at the floor with a sigh.  "I just.."

"Let's go."  Dejun lightened his tone and put an arm around Yangyang.

"There's something making noise in there though.."  Yangyang looked toward the door that they are walking away from.

Dejun hummed.  "If it's a project, then it's probably for school.  He might be working on a lab project for his engineering courses, you know."  He insisted.

"And it's running while he's away?  Isn't that dangerous?"  Yangyang asked as he sat down on his bike.

Dejun sat on his own and put on his helmet with a shrug.  "You never know, maybe it's an experiment."  He suggested.  "I won't tell Hendery about today if you promise to not come back here."  He held out his pinkie.


Yangyang grew a small smile.  "Then you better hang out with me all day every day until the project is finished."  He said, linking their pinkies before Dejun could reject.

Dejun huffed with an amused smile.  "Alright, let's go."  He said, backing away from the bike rack.


As Dejun was riding along the sidewalk, he sighed and looked ahead.  There's only a week left, can I keep this up?  It's for Hendery and Yangyang, I have to make sure everything is okay.  He lectured himself as he turned his head to look at all of the traffic.  His gaze met the younger who had a smile while riding like a child. 


***

Hendery was the one suprising Yangyang this time.  He waited outside the classroom and saw the younger was the last out.  He put his arms around the other male and walked with him.  He heard an amused chuckle from Yangyang.

"You scared me,"  He said as he walked to the side and turned around, "what are you doing here?"  He asked with a light smile.

"It's a good afternoon here at ChongQing University.  The skies are partly cloudy and there's a slight breeze of five miles per hour.  Temperatures are supposed to remain normal on this fine, September day."  Hendery was jokingly forecasting as he brushed some of the other's dark hair out of his eyes.

"A perfect day for a perfect boyfriend.  Happy birthday, Yangyang, my love."  He said as he leaned foreward to put a kiss on the younger's forehead.

Yangyang chuckled and teasingly palmed the other man's chest.  "Idiot, my lips are down here~"  He cooed as he put his wrists around the older's neck.

"How could I forget?"  Hendery asked with a laugh before he put their lips together.


Yangyang couldn't help but have his smile grow.  The kiss is delicate, just like the others Hendery offers.  Though the kiss is soft, that doesn't mean that Yangyang can't detect the passion the other male is putting into it.  He gladly gives his lips to Hendery, bringing him that much closer and not caring about the many eyes on them.

"You're done with your classes, so let's go out."  Hendery suggested as the kiss ended.

"What about your class?"  Yangyang asked automatically.

Hendery hummed.  "Come on."  He said, guiding the younger out by the wrist.


Yangyang smiled as he skipped along out of the building with Hendery.  He felt like he was going to get his birthday surprise now.  But when he saw that they were just going to another class building, his spirit went down a bit.

"I don't want to attend your class.."  He said with a pout.  "Is that even allowed?"

Hendery sighed and stopped walking.  "You want your birthday surprise, right?"

"Yes.."  Yangyang smiled when he met the older's gaze.

"Then do me a favor and do what I tell you to do.  Don't ask any questions."  He asked kindly.


Yangyang stood there like Hendery requested for him.  He watched everyone else show off some experiment they have been working on.  However, he didn't get to see Hendery's work.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my experiment is currently outside.  Will you all join me and my assistant?"  Hendery asked through the microphone.

The students went out and to the side of the building.  There, Hendery stepped up to a covered object.  He watched everyone's expecting gazes.  He lifted the sheet to show off the sleek machine.

It had four wheels and a steering wheel.  The sides were shiny and the engine was well-covered.

"I call it YangChe."  He looked over at Yangyang after speaking.  "My assistant will drive around in it."  He said, showing off the keys and handing them to the younger.


Yangyang's eyes widen as he held onto the silver-toned metal.  He looked toward the vehicle and back at the other man.  "R-really?"  He asked with excitement.

Hendery smiled and gave a short nod.  Yangyang didn't waist any time getting onto the small car.  It isn't small for a child, but it definitely wasn't big enough to race too much in.  

"This vehicle runs on non ethanol gas and can go up to eighty miles per hour."  He told as he signaled for Yangyang to start.

Yangyang doesn't have too much experience with driving.  He does have a license, but he usually gets Hendery to drive him places while he rides his bike around the campus.  Speeding up in the empty parking lot was something that Yangyang has only dreamt about doing. 

He watches racing games on TV when he's supposed to be doing homework.  His heart beats faster as he sees that the parking lot was set up with traffic cones and a few miscellaneous things to form a bit of a race track.

He twisted and turned, shifting the gears without even looking down at each one does.  He makes his finish as he sees Hendery give him a small wave.

The students clap as Yangyang turns off the engine and gets out.  "Fully functional and thrilling, I give my YangChe to my birthday boy, Yangyang."  He finished his presentation.


The teachers write things down in their notebooks as the class heads back inside the building.

Before Hendery could walk in, he felt arms make their way around his waist tightly.  "Thank you, thank you!"  Yangyang thanked as he kissed Hendery's neck.

"Dejun said you've been acting up lately, I'm sorry for making you worry these past few weeks."  Hendery apologized as he turned around.

"I'm sorry for almost going into your apartment."  He admitted.  "I should have trusted you more."  He furrowed his eyebrows.

Hendery ruffled the younger's hair before putting a kiss on his forehead.  "We know better now then."  He said seriously.  "Trust me from now on, okay?"  He requested.

"I'll try-"

He felt something being put in his hand before the older went away.  Yangyang stood there confused.  He watched the door close before looking down at what was placed in his hand. 


He opened the ring box and saw the key to the vehicle.  He picked it up and smiled.  He then noticed another shiny thing inside the box.  He moved the fabric a bit to see a bracelet and some text at the bottom of the box.

"Promise to love me by putting this on each day? :)"

The smiley face just made Yangyang smile that much brighter unintentionally.  His eyes water up as he quickly sat down on the sidewalk to put the box on the side walk and the key back inside it.  He felt the bracelt all over before putting it on his wrist. 

He had a bit of trouble putting the clasp on, but he knows that Hendery did his best with it.  He felt the hand-made letters of the pendant that also came witht he bracelet.

"I'll wear it for the rest of my life."  He vowed as he held the ring box close to him.

"Best birthday ever~"  He sang as he sprung up and ran into the building.




 

*sigh* hopefully Yangyang has learned to trust his Hendery XD
Thank you so much for requesting, and I'm sorry that it took forever for me to write it.
I hope you enjoyed the fluff~  I really needed to write some!
