A ray of sunlight peeked through the yellow curtain, hitting right in a person’s eyes that made him frown with a grunt. He opened his eyes slowly, trying to get used to the sudden brightness. He glanced to the table clock that placed on the nightstand. A large 7.00 AM were shown on it. He let out a sigh and wanted to pull himself up only to be held back by a pair of strong arms circled on his slim waist.

He turned his head around and found a figure buried his face on the crook of his neck, still sleeping peacefully. The memories from last night slowly invaded his mind and he couldn’t help but to quirk up a smile. He ran his fingers through the soft messy strands of hair, admiring the face that he adored since the first time he laid his eyes on him. So perfect and inhumanly beautiful.

Or maybe because it was the face of his lover.

He took his time admiring the contours of his face. From his sharp nose, his swollen lips that parted slightly as he breathed slowly, defined jaw lines and cheek bones. He let his fingers traced the beauty of his face until the person stirred with a low hoarse hum. His strong hand caught the smaller man’s fingers and he slowly opened his eyes.

The younger man couldn’t control his heart that started to beat faster and the blush that slowly crept into his face. The blonde haired smiled when he saw the view of a flustered young man that was trying to avoid his gaze. He brought the fingers onto his mouth and placed a soft kiss on the tanned skin.

“Why are you so red early in the morning?”

The younger man shook his head reluctantly. His body surely betrayed him with the blush that became darker at the older man’s words. The elder caressed his lower back, earning a painful wince from the dark haired man.

“I was too rough last night, wasn’t I?”

His tone was full of concern and guilt; he was worried that he had hurt the smaller man. The younger shook his head. A genuine smile plastered on his face as he looked up, searching for those dark chocolate brown eyes.

“It’s okay. It has been a long time since we did this, so I won’t mind. If it’s you who cause the pain, I won’t mind.”

The elder sighed in relief and buried his nose on top of the younger’s head, inhaling a fair scent of shampoo mixed with his musky after- scent. He let his arms wrapped around the younger’s waist tighter.

“I miss you.” He muttered as he rubbed the of his lover lovingly. The younger placed a kiss on the elder’s warm broad chest.

“I miss you too. I miss you more than anything, Yifan ge. I miss you to be here with me. I miss you holding my hands all the time. I miss your hugs, your touches… you. I miss all of you.”

Yifan felt something wet on his chest, followed by soft sound of sobs. He cupped the younger’s cheek with his hand and the tears away gently with his thumb. But no matter how much he tried to erase the tears from the younger’s face, a new one would replace it and he hated it when he saw the tears that fell from the younger’s eyes.

“I’m here, Zitao. So please, don’t cry.”

His words failed to comfort the younger as his sobs worsened. His body started to shake violently. Yifan tightened his embrace, placing butterfly kisses all over the younger’s face as he whispered sweet nothings.

“But we… we will not be able to m-meet again by tomorrow… Y-you won’t be the face I see the first in the morning a-and my body… will be c-cold without your arms around me…”

Zitao couldn’t pull out the words coherently as he was overwhelmed with emotions and the heart breaking sobs. Indeed he was embarrassed by his own words. It was childish and egoistic. He wanted Yifan for himself. He wanted Yifan to be the only person that he knew he wanted to spend his life with. He wanted Yifan to always be there for him.

But when it came to loving someone, he couldn’t help but to be possessive. He just wanted Wu Yifan to be with him for eternity.

Yifan knew Zitao was being possessive, but he couldn’t help but to feel warmth invading his body when he heard those words. He himself wanted to be by the younger’s side. To be the only person the younger was obsessed with. To be Zitao’s center of attention. To be the person that stood by Zitao until the end of everything. To be Zitao’s true lover.

“I-I’m sorry, gege. I’m being childish a-and I…”

“Its okay, Zitao. I also think about the same thing.”

Zitao frowned slightly, confused by the elder’s words. Yifan smiled and kissed the frown on his face.

“I always think about you. About us and how do we get out of this problem. I never spend my day without your smile in my mind or your sweet attitude. I keep them inside my heart so I can always think about you in everything I do. I miss your smile. I miss the way our fingers fit perfectly with each other. I miss everything about you.”

Yifan placed a long soft kiss on his forehead before he look into those dark eyes that glistened with tears. He the latter’s cheek with his hand; smiling when the younger leaned into his touch and kissed his palm.

“You may think that Kris has left EXO. But don’t you ever think that Wu Yifan has left Huang Zitao.”

The younger smiled and buried his face deeper into Yifan’s warm chest. Yifan was right. He shouldn’t be worried about the elder. Yifan himself had said that he wanted to stay by his side. He had been trying to figure the way out of this whole problem with him leaving EXO and everything. He had tried his best to think of a way for them to be able to contact each other after he left the company and the group.

Yesterday was the result of planning and heavy brain works he had done for the past months since he left the group. It was quite successful indeed. He and Zitao (finally) had no schedules for the day and they decided to meet up in a place somewhere in the suburb, far from the company’s suspicion and media’s sharp lenses. The other members had also helped them a lot by covering their tracks, making up excuses like Zitao had left for a vacation or something like that. He should really thank the guys for helping him on their rendezvous.

They finally had their time for their first date since he left the group. They spent the day watching movies, walking down the shopping district and slacking off in a small café. It was quite perfect but surely not good enough for Yifan.

Of course to avoid people’s attention, he and Zitao had to wear hoodies and sunglasses. But that was not his main problem. He could not walk with Zitao hand in hand even though he had yearned for grabbing the younger’s hand and laced their fingers together. But he knew he had to hold himself from doing that. Zitao was still in the group and Yifan’s popularity surely hadn’t over yet; of course it would attract people’s attention if they were seen walking down the street hand in hand.

He knew that ‘good things come to those who wait’ and after some hours of no-touch date that almost drove him over to the edge, they reached the hotel he reserved days before. It was a perfect place for them to finally have their moment of passion because Yifan had researched the hotels that provided high tech security and thick soundproof walls. So no media would be able to enter the hotel and interrupt their night together.

When they finally reached the room, there was a long silence before they finally threw themselves on each other, sharing sloppy and hungry kisses and naughty and shameless touches; a strong proof of their desperation towards each other’s company.

It was not long until clothes are discarded and left scattered on the floor, finally having the feel of bare bodies pressed on each other as they continued on sharing kisses and touches. Lust was clouding their judgments and there was no other thing inside their mind except the strong need of pleasuring each other. Both of them couldn’t contain the overwhelming emotions inside them as the night went darker, hotter and more passionate.

The room was filled with lewd shameless high-pitched moans, incoherent words of urgency and needs, low pleasured grunts, whispers of sweet nothings and love confessions, skin slapping against skin and faint sound of bed creaking under their violent movements.

It was wild and sloppy because of the ual drive they couldn’t contain for not seeing each other but it was more profound indeed. It was not only because of their need. It was not only because of the lust that clouded their mind. But it was because they had been longing for each other for a long period of time.

They had been through a lot of trials and tribulations to get to that point. The news about Yifan leaving the group was heart breaking for Zitao, followed by other scandals that had the blonde man involved in it. It was torturous for him to see his lover dealing with heavy problem and he was just there, being emotional as always and couldn’t help the elder.

At some point, Zitao felt useless for not being able to help the elder. But Yifan, who had loved him since their first meeting, assured him that Zitao’s presence was enough for him. It was enough for him to see Zitao’s name on his phone screen in the morning, calling him to ask about how was his sleep or just a simple ‘I love you’. It was enough for him to see a faint smile on the younger’s face every time they video called. It was forced, but Yifan had determined that someday, Zitao would smile genuinely to him.

The rendezvous they had was not just a meaningless one night stand just because of their ual deprivation, but it was an unforgettable night where they comfort and pleasure each other. The night where they showed how much they missed each other’s company and how much they wanted for that day to come.

When the sun rose, the first thing they saw was each other’s faces. Fatigue was plastered on their faces because of the activity the night before and Zitao himself couldn’t contain the pain that spread all over his body especially the unbearable pain in his . But the night was worth the pain.

They started the morning comforting each other’s physical and emotional pain. Bare bodies pressed on each other as if they would lose the each other if they hadn’t done that. Fingers laced together as they exchanged loving gaze. They couldn’t find the right word to say to each other how much they meant or how much they loved each other.

The day had been one of the best days in their lives.
