Wang Yibo's POV:

Where am I?

Looking around with a massive hangover, I find a soft body next to me.

Xiao Zhan.

My clumsy movements causes him to stir and very slowly he opens his eye and those black orbs find mine.

"Good morning Dai Tou." Fuck me hard! How can his voice ooze out this much of sexiness early morning?

Banding his arms around my waist he pulls me close to him ... and my eyes widen! He's got a massive boner!

Howdy Partner!

"Good morning," For some reason I cast my eyes down with a feeling of extreme shyness for our situation.

Placing a forefinger under my chin he commands, "Look at me Dai Tou." Unable to not comply I look up and am taken aback by the sincerity in his eyes, "Never look away from me. I want your eyes always on mine, for now and eternity. Dai Tou, I don't know if you remember what happened last night-" placing a kiss on his lips I mumble softly, "I remember."

"Then you remember me asking you for sometime?" At his enquiry I nod.

"Good." Taking a deep breath he smiles and kisses my forehead, "My man." At his words I grind myself against him while he growls,
"Careful Dai Tou. Don't start something that you can't complete."

Pushing him against the bed with me on top and Xiao Zhan below, bringing my face close to his I whisper, "Who said I can't complete, BoZhan?"

His roaming hands on my back stills as he enquires with a smirk, "BoZhan?"

Licking sides of his upper lip and trailing them toward his earlobe, biting them gently I whisper, "You're Yibo's Zhan. So BoZhan." His reaction to my words surprises me as he arches against my body and his nails painfully to the point of pleasure digs into my skin. His other hand flushes our waist together and the friction causes me to moan. From then on all caution was up in the air as we like some teenage boys hump eachother dry. One moment I am above him and the next second below. Capturing my hand above my head, we rutt against eachother in frenzy while our mouths mate just like our lower halves.

Ripping my lips away from his I moan long and loud, "BoZhan... I am...going to...come."
His pace increases and with one command "Come now!" I see moon, stars and whole beautiful galaxy as my ecstasy milks me high and dry. Quick to feel wetness seeping between us, I open my eyes to see ethereal beauty above me. If someone asked me when was the exact moment I knew to have fallen for the man in my arms, my soul would point out to this exact moment. Even in his throes of passion, Xiao Zhan's eyes did not leave mine. He was capturing my every moment. His eyes held love, lust, warmth and above all compassion just for me.

I am in love with him.

I love him.

I love you Xiao Zhan.

"Hey!" Wiping my tears which I did not know had trailed down, his soft voice made me take a deep breath and pull him into my arms. He was not ready for my words. I have always asked too much from him, but BoZhan, I promise to be yours for eternity. I'll wait a lifetime for you to catch up if need be. "Dai Tou, are you alright?"

Watching his concerned gaze on mine, I cup Xiao Zhan's cheeks and smile, "I am beyond alright," trailing down to witness the wetness forming a crust I grimace, "but seems the sheets and our pants need to be changed."

When he doesn't make a move, I look up to find him gazing into my soul, "Dai Tou?"

"Hm?"

"BoZhan? Really? Why can't it be ZhanBo or ZhanYi?" His question makes me laugh and biting his chin I smirk, "Cause your mine. You might own my heart," placing my palm on his chest I whisper, "but I own yours too." With a quick kiss I push him aside and walk into the bathroom.

Smooth. Really smooth.

Xiao Zhan's POV:

BoZhan.

BoZhan, I twirl the name in my lips and my soul is glad that no one is around me to see the crazy grin I am sporting. Placing Dai Tou's pillow on my face I squeal like a crazy hormone level teenager. Fuck. This is love!

Ahem.

Taking a deep breath I hear his shower and my body stills. Should I go in there? If I do, then then there is no stopping me! Fuck I'm getting hard just by thinking about him! Zhan! You're a grown man. Behave!

Just then I hear a knock and Sizhui's voice at the other side of door, "Xiao Zhan, Hua Cheng and His Highness are looking for you and Elder Yibo."

"I'll be out there in a minute." With a sigh I collect a small bag with change of clothes, proceed towards bathroom in the room next to ours and prepare to freshen up for the day.

Donning a fresh pair of trousers and long cloak which looks regal and traditional, I walk towards set of voices at the dining room when my steps halt and gaze widens at the sight in front of me. His Highness pinned against the wall and Hua Cheng happily sucking his skin.

What the fuck?

I cough and next instant His Highness pushes Hua Cheng away. Giving me a cruel look, I smile at Hua Cheng and think back to the other day when he rudely walked in on us.

Serves you right.

"Um, haha, Xiao Zhan..." Quickly covering himself, Xie Lian averts his eyes, "Um, San-"
Feeling sorry for this good soul I walk upto him and smile, "You wanted to see me?"

Giving him a reprieve, I turn towards Hua Cheng and spare him no smirk, "Shame on you. Kids are around and here you're openly scandalising everyone." Not the one to back out he retorts, "Well it seems," eyeing the love bite on my neck he comments, "you had your breakfast already."

"San Lang!"

"It's alright Your Highness, Hua Cheng is just hungry and annoyed because he didn't get to consume his meal."

"You bet." I smile at his under the breath comment whilst Xie Lian looked as if he'd prefer to hide somewhere safe. Ignoring me Hua Cheng's longing gaze holds Xie Lian captive and for this one reason it makes me feel like an intruder watching their private moment. "Gege..." making his way towards Xie Lian, Hua Cheng gently cups his face, "I wish you were by my side tonight."

"San Lang, I love you." Placing a soft kiss on Hua Cheng's lips Xie Lian confesses, "I need to go back to Heaven tonight. You know that and don't forget, I'll be waiting for your proclamation to the entire realm that this Gege belongs only to his San Lang."

Oh my.

Turning away from them I pat my fluttering heart as my gaze lands on young Wangji and Wei Wuxian by his side. It takes me by surprise that there is a lone lantern on Wei Wuxian's lap and he's painting them.

"What are you two doing?" At my question they look up and Wangji is the one to answer, "Tonight is the Lantern Festival. People of this realm believe to light a lantern in name of their God. It's to thank them for their fortunate blessings."

Wow.

"Do you guys have such traditions in your realm too?" This is asked by Dai Tou who stealthily stands next to me.

"Oh yes." Smiling at Wangji, Wei Wuxian continues "Two lifetimes ago, Lan Zhan and I made an oath whilst lighting a lantern together. It was me who proposed the idea. We were 16 year old boys back then. It is said that people who light lanterns together, will be by eachother's side for eternity."

"No wonder you both found eachother again just like Hua Cheng and His Highness." Greeting us with a smile He Xuan twirls a ring on his finger, "A while ago when His Highness had just ascended heaven for the third time, there were no devotees and thus people assumed he would receive no lanterns. I was there, right next to him and let me tell you, he himself did not even expect one lantern. Every year there is a competition up there, wondering who would win and such. When everyone thought that the event was over and were about to leave the venue, what we all did not expect was the sky to be lit up with 3000 beautiful hand crafted lanterns. All in the name of His Highness."

The awe in He Xuan's eyes are evident to us as to what a spectacular event it would have been.

"Who lit them?" Akio who joined our little group questions and the answer is provided by Xie Lian himself, "Who else? It was my San Lang. He built a temple in three days for me here in Ghost Town and lit all those beautiful lanterns."

"Wait! Is that the reason you need to go back tonight for the Lantern Festival?" I ask and Xie Lian nods. "Yes, as much as this is my home, up there I have my duties to perform too. My husband is the Ghost Supreme, but his husband is a God too."

"So Hua Cheng, are you going to light 3000 lanterns this year too?" He Xuan enquires with a smirk and Hua Cheng's response is only to shrug.

Amongst their chatter everyone missed one pair of eyes that longed to be with his lover and that was Wangji. For some reason his face was pale as if he knew tonight is precious to him and Wei Wuxian. Time was short and their journey even shorter.

Lan Zhan's POV:

"Wei Ge." Handing him the lantern, standing on a cliff, smiling down and me, Wei Ying's eyes were lit with happiness, as if me being just beside him was all that mattered.

Few paces away standing were Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo. Next to them were young couples, Sizhui and Akio. He Xuan had a lone lantern in his hand.

A gong struck and soon from the temple next to us, rose about 10,000 lanterns covering every inch of the sky. Thousands of lanterns floated up above and the illusion of stars kissing the sky came true. Each lantern were hand crafted and in them adorned a symbol of red umbrella sheltering a white flower.

Crimson Rain Sought Flower.

"Ah Zhan, are you ready?" Wei Ge enquires and I look into his eyes, I wish to be by your side Wei Ying. Always and Forever.

I nod and together we light our lantern. As it raises up in heaven, I turn to look at my soulmate when an unbearable pain freezes my heart and my breath escapes from me.

Not now.

Please.

Before I could call for Wei Ying, my vision blurs and I knew my time has come. Only if I had this one moment to last for a little while longer...

Wei Wuxian's POV:

"Ah Zhan!!!" Catching his falling body in my arms I yell his name. He's pale.

"Quick someone please help!" I wail in despair when Hua Cheng places his palm on Ah Zhan's forehead only for him to look grim.

No.

"Is there no way to help him?" I cry when He Xuan kneels next to me but his eyes are fixated on Hua Cheng. "There is one way."

"What?" I ask as Hua Cheng's eyes look feral.

"We need his help." He Xuan continues looking at Hua Cheng and I clutch his hand, "Whose?"

His answer is a whisper but heard loud and clear by us all, "Jun Wu."

Jun Wu?

A/n: For those who haven't read HOB, kindly refrain from scrolling below after this pic as I would mention who is Jun Wu for those readers interested in knowing.

Jun Wu is the main antaognist in Heaven Official's Blessing. A man with good heart who turns bad due to unforeseen circumstances. He and Xie Lian carry the same fate but both chose to respond and live differently. In many ways Jun Wu was the sole reason for Xie Lian's pain. Not getting too much into details, I personally sympathise with Jun Wu a bit. He's not bad but circumstances made him.

He's God. He was a ruler too. Though he and Hua Cheng never had a face off, one could say they never crossed eachother's path too.

Jun Wu is a soul who fell from grace.
