AUTHOR'S POV:

.

.

.

It is our tendency to see our loved ones happy. Like the moment we see a person whom we love, care or for whom we have compassion, sad or dejected......we felt an urge to make them happy, to eradicate the pain.

But maturity is when you allow yourself to accept that the person also had the right to be sad....to cry......at least sometimes...

Sorrow is also an emotion and that also needs to be let out, even maybe without reason too......you are allowed to cry...you are allowed to be overwhelmed .

Mature people know how to handle their own problems, own emotions, own decisions, own shortcomings......but still end of the whole course they also desire someone.

Someone who will just sit by their side, not long then just for 10 mins and will listen them....but without judging, without interrupting, without advising......a little more intimate, a little more touchy, a little more sensitive. 

Just a tight hug and an assurance 'You are not alone, You have me'.

Inside the car in the back seat.....two bodies had already entangled themselves into one single bundle.

Zhan had taken Yibo in his arms because he was afraid that Yibo was just an illusion and if he loosen his grip then Yibo would vanish in thin layer.

Yibo had also embraced Zhan between his arms and chest to assure Zhan about his existence and also himself that Zhan needed him.....He was important for Zhan.

A hint and an assumption.....Hint was Zhan also had feelings for him and assumption was the cause of Zhan's suffering was none other than he himself only. But Yibo was not ready to take anything for granted especially when Zhan was not in his right senses.

Yibo felt small warm patches over his t-shirt and needed no confirmation that Zhan was sobbing......silent and calm.........the serene inside that luxury Limo was peaceful in a heart-wincing way.

Yibo deadly wanted to make Zhan face him and make him(Zhan) understand he was real and not a mere illusion.

But he restrained.....he was happy in other way......Zhan was with his best friends where he chose to be loud to conceal or to mask up but with him, Zhan expressed his real emotions. So he was ready to allow Zhan that space where Zhan could feel Home..........Like Yibo had discovered in Zhan.

The car stopped and Yibo tilted his body and the very next moment he was pulled backwards with great force.

In a flash Yibo found himself strangled on the seat by Zhan who had already hovered over Yibo. Snaking his hands around Yibo's head and shoulder, Zhan buried Yibo's head in his chest.

"You cann't leave me".........Zhan muttered while his chin was resting on Yibo's hair

Yibo who was almost baffled but got smitten when he heard Zhan's heartbeat.....he couldn't help and took deep breaths filling his lungs with Zhan's cologne.....musky with the mixed hint of sweat and alcohol...........manly & masculine...........Yibo purred in the warmth Zhan's body was radiating.

Slowly Yibo wrapped his hand around  Zhan's back and started moving up & down in a soothing manner. 

"Zhan.."........Yibo called as softly as possible just above Zhan's heart leading rumbles of unknown vibrations but it was obvious for Zhan to not recognize but it was like Yibo could resemble those vibrations synchronized with his own heartbeat. 

"No!!!!..I won't let you go....you promised...you promised......you will take me with you"".......Zhan said as he shook his head and tighten his grip

Yibo would love to stop the time and be in that position.....so near...so close to the person he loves more than anyone but currently the person needed to be taken care.

So Yibo with all his power, broke the hug and brought Zhan's hands forward placing them on his cheeks....touch...a very prominent intimate way to make one feel your presence in any form........Yibo also did the same and cupped Zhan face, whipping the tears away.

"shhhh"......closing their proximity Yibo tried to coax Zhan 

But that only made the situation worst as Zhan's eyes again about to welled up and his quivered lower lip already came out as his pout grew making Yibo amused as even sad but Zhan was too adorable to be handled........Yibo couldn't control and chuckled while staring at his husband who was actually acting like a baby......but next moment, Yibo also vowed this side Zhan should not be witnessed by any other person............it must be only him...Zhan is Mine!!!!............Yibo's mind screamed.

"I.....".....Zhan tried to speak again but Yibo cut him

"Shhh"..........Yibo hushed and joined their forehead as he spoke again

"Baby~~~ Listen to me....hmm....I.AM.NOT.LEAVING.......understand.....I am not going anywhere.....Hmmm".........Yibo said unknowingly using an endearment that instantly made Zhan blinked and next moment he blushed like a shy furball......then like a small rabbit tried to be engulfed in Yibo's arm while nuzzling his nose over Yibo's clothed chest in a nodding manner.

Unknown of his deed, Yibo was more than pleased by this reaction of Zhan that made him smile in contentment. 

"We are home......lets go inside.....".........Yibo said pinching Zhan's cheeks who nodded obediently and spread his arms

Yibo shook his head......sighed and then chuckled..........."Hmm...hmm...Zhanzhan is 3 years and need to be carried "

So again anyone can see a well grown up man hanging on another man's back just like a koala bear. It was not a lie that all Yibo's till date training was under scrutiny as Zhan wasn't someone very light......he could seem skinny apparently but actually not at all.

Yibo held Zhan securely and tried his best to balance so they didn't fall down but the person on his back had other plans.

Hands wrapped around Yibo's neck, left palm on Yibo's chest, chin on Yibo's shoulder and lips just beside Yibo's earlobes......Zhan gave Yibo a lighting shock

"Ba...by".......Zhan called oh!...so softly but for Yibo, it was like the ground under his feet torn apart 

"Huh??????".........Yibo was totally out of senses to figure out the reason of Zhan's sudden endearment 

"Am I really a baby?".......Zhan asked in a sweet tone and finally Yibo's fuse bulb lit up with the realization how he had addressed Zhan few minutes ago

Yibo who was almost chocked his breath........after all no matter what, Zhan was the person whom he loved, also precisely his husband too...but the tone Zhan used confirmed his intentions to be as innocent as a child.

Chuckling to himself Yibo cooed over his husband's cuteness 

"Hmmm...you are a baby".............Yibo replied with an amused smile

Zhan giggled which felt like an melody of symphony to Yibo's ear

"Whose baby?.........mmm......Am I yours?".........Zhan asked in his oh! so honey dripping voice but all Yibo's senses feed was possessiveness 

"Yes!!!..MINE!!!!..you are my baby".........Yibo said completely possessive then thought....... 'Why?.....Doesn't he like it?'.....when Yibo felt Zhan was silent 

"Am I cute?"...........Zhan asked breaking Yibo's daydream making Yibo flustered from inside

"Hmm..very cute......just like fluffy bunnies".........Yibo replied and this time earned a suppressed moan behind his ear from Zhan making him shiver from core

"mmm~~~Am I sweet?"........Zhan asked and Yibo understood his coffin was ready and he just foolishly jumped into his own death bed but did he regret.........NEVER!!!!!........he was more than happy to suffer this sweet torture just to be with Zhan.

"Hmm...sweeter than honey.".........Yibo complimented and hissed next moment as Zhan inhaled from Yibo's neck

"You too smells so sweet"..........Zhan's innocent talks now causing some not so innocent twitchings to Yibo's innocent baby brother down there.....where fortunately or unfortunately Zhan's ankles were resting 

"Am I soft?".........Zhan questioned again, this time almost brushing his lips over Yibo's cheeks, closing his eyes Yibo took a deep breath and last step simultaneously 

Yibo entered into Zhan's room and made Zhan sit on the bed

"My baby is a walking marshmallow whom I want to eat dearly"............Yibo replied what his heart prompted as he bopped their nose and ruffled Zhan's hair playfully.

Yibo felt numb after carrying this giant baby.....so he strengthen and stretched his body lightly and thankfully Zhan didn't made any move while sitting there while staring at Yibo and occasionally blinking his eyes.

Yibo who had closed his eyes while stretching,  opened it slowly only to be bestowed by a heavenly beautiful view.......his beloved face....

Yibo smiled and then his mind strike something making Yibo felt goosebumps as he gulped before taking the next step. But from inside Yibo was more than delighted for that.
