WTCM 8. Really Moved

“Get out!” Chen Tianxiang yanked the blanket back. Qi Haiyang, kneeling by the bed, froze for a moment before his face fell in grievance.

“I already dried off. I won’t get your bed wet.”

“That’s not the issue!” A vein popped on Chen Tianxiang’s forehead. “Who said you could get in my bed?!”

Qi Haiyang blinked innocently. “Aren’t we dating? Why can’t we sleep together?”

“You said no sex! Then why sleep together?!” Another vein popped.

“Sleeping together doesn’t have to mean sex.” Qi Haiyang chuckled shamelessly. “As long as this doesn’t go into that, it doesn’t count as sex, right? So sharing a bed is fine. We can do other things, like holding hands and having deep conversations.”

Then he added, grinning even wider, “Xiang-ge, you’re so naughty. Your mind is full of dirty thoughts.”

Chen Tianxiang nearly lost it. This damn pervert had the audacity to say he was the one thinking dirty? …Okay, fine, maybe he was thinking about those things, but that didn’t mean Qi Haiyang got to call him out!

Without another word, he took action. Pouncing on him, he twisted Qi Haiyang’s arm behind his back, shoved his knee into his waist, and slammed him down onto the bed.

Honestly, Chen Tianxiang didn’t even need to throw him down. Qi Haiyang was already about to fall on his own. But having his arm twisted hurt like hell, so he yelped and immediately started begging for mercy.

“Xiang-ge, I was wrong! Ow ow ow—spare me!”

Chen Tianxiang tightened his grip on his wrist. “Still dare to talk nonsense?!”

“I don’t, I don’t!” Qi Haiyang looked back at him pitifully. “I just got too excited… I thought since Xiang-ge let me touch him, maybe he was starting to accept me.”

Chen Tianxiang sighed inwardly. He’d given in to temptation and they had jerked each other off, so it wasn’t surprising Qi Haiyang was pushing his luck. In the end, it was his own fault for being too damn lonely.

He let go, rolled over, and pulled the blanket back over himself. To be honest, Qi Haiyang was pretty amusing. He always made him mad, but looking back, it was mostly just funny. So telling him to scram for good never quite made it out of his mouth.

Because what if he really left?

It was better to just let him stick and clown around. If Qi Haiyang really liked him, then he wouldn’t mind his cold attitude. Right…?

Qi Haiyang had absolutely no shame. He probably tossed his dignity straight into the Pacific Ocean ages ago.

After calling out “Xiang-ge, Xiang-ge” in a soft voice twice, he knelt behind him and leaned over to check if he was asleep. When he saw Chen Tianxiang squinting at him in annoyance, not only did he not leave, but he even lowered himself and sprawled directly on top of him.

Looking utterly satisfied, Qi Haiyang tightened his hug around the blanketed man. “Xiang-ge, you can’t sleep either, right? I’m just too excited to sleep, so I came to see you. When I saw you sleeping so handsomely just now, I couldn’t help myself. Hehe, you get it, right? We’re both men.”

Chen Tianxiang scoffed internally. Did this guy actually want to just hold hands and talk about feelings? After a whole day of work, who had the energy for that?

“Xiang-ge, since we can’t sleep, how about a kiss?” Before Chen Tianxiang could react, Qi Haiyang was already puckering up and moving in. He thought he was about to say, “If we can’t sleep, let’s chat for a bit,” so he let his guard down, only to get kissed square on the mouth.

“You…” Chen Tianxiang opened his mouth to say something, but that only gave Qi Haiyang the perfect opening to slip his tongue in.

The guy was big and heavy, pressing him down completely. Pushing him off would take actual effort. So instead of struggling too hard, Chen Tianxiang just pretended to push him away and let Qi Haiyang deepen the kiss.

He wasn’t even really mad this time. He had always been dominant, and in his five-year relationship with his ex, the guy had never dared to push him against the wall, grope him, pin him to the bed, or steal a kiss like this. He sucked on the tongue invading his mouth and thought that so this was what it felt like. Forceful affection. Possessiveness.

Wait. Fuck.

Why the hell am I going along with his craziness? Why am I even enjoying it?

Realizing he was sinking too fast, Chen Tianxiang propped himself up on one hand, grabbed Qi Haiyang’s shoulder with the other, and flipped him over, pinning him beneath him instead.

“If you don’t actually want to do it, then stop provoking me.”

Qi Haiyang’s eyes widened with excitement at the predatory glint in his gaze. Clutching his neck enthusiastically, he grinned. “I do want to. Why else would I get naked?”

Chen Tianxiang had barely built up his momentum when that one line killed it instantly.

Damn it, what was he even doing, acting all dominant? There was no way in hell he would ever be the one climbing on top.

But Qi Haiyang had no such hesitation.

With all their tossing and turning, the blanket had long been kicked to the side, leaving it very convenient for Qi Haiyang to spread his legs, wrap them around Chen Tianxiang’s waist, and start grinding against him.

“What the hell are you, a dog? Quit rubbing up on me.” Chen Tianxiang grabbed his legs. If he kept at it like this, even a cold corpse would catch fire, let alone someone already half-burning.

“Woof woof… woof…” Qi Haiyang even played along, barking twice before pulling him down for another kiss.

Chen Tianxiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He gave up resisting altogether. Worst case scenario, they would just help each other out again. Neither of them would lose out anyway.

But once the fire started, it only burned hotter. What began as mutual fondling escalated to a full sixty-nine session, and things only came to an abrupt halt when Qi Haiyang pulled out a double-ended toy, only for Chen Tianxiang to kick him clean off the bed.

That finally ended the night’s battle.

Chen Tianxiang, thoroughly relieved, felt a deep sense of satisfaction. As sleepiness hit him, he even generously shared half of the blanket with the big dog who had climbed back into bed and curled up beside him.

The warmth next to him made for a solid night’s sleep.

It wasn’t until the morning alarm jolted him awake that he suddenly realized.

The arms that had been wrapped around him all night were gone.

He froze. Without opening his eyes, he reached out to feel the space beside him.

Empty.

His chest tightened, a strange bitterness spreading inside him, like biting into an unripe persimmon.

Even getting out of bed felt like a chore.
