Wang Yibo's POV:

Waking up to that one man who has always stood by us makes my breathing falter. Some point at night we both changed our position as now we are sharing the same pillow and his arms is cocooning me safely, scared that I might run away from him.

Pecks of early morning rays peeks through the curtains and his eyelashes mesmerize me. It feels so surreal as if they're kissing eachother as intimately as possible. Unable to control the urge I let my index finger gently run through them and that movement makes him flutter his eyes open.
His sleepy gaze lands on me and the next second he gives me a sexy lazy grin which hits my heart directly.

Ouch.

GG said 'his day starts with your smile', but I beg to differ, if this is the smile he's going to bestow upon me, then I wish to start my day with his smile. Everyday.

I gulp.

"Good Morning." His voice is coarse and I'm unable to take my eyes off him. He isn't perfect looking right now. Not even close. He has a small drool at the side of his lips. He has sleep caked in his eyes. His hair is tussled up too, but for me, all this didn't matter. In spite of this, he looks ethereal to me.

Wake up Yibo! You're so delusional.

"Do I have morning breath?" He covers his mouth and a slither of pain hits me for my soul is missing his smile. What's happening? Shaking my head I continue to stare at his soft face.

"Dai Tou?" At that name from his lips I raise my eyes to meet his and question him, "You haven't shared anything personal with me about your self. Why?"

He blinks innocently at my assertion, "Oh? Alright, the password to all my bank details are 0508. The password to my laboratory is 2706 and the password to all my social accounts are 2008. The pa-" I cut him off and frown, "Why are you giving me your passwords?"

"Well you did want to know about all my personal stuff right? So I am giving you my details." He looks perplexed and me exasperated, "By personal I didn't mean to ask you your financial or professional details! Who does that? Why are you sharing such important information with me?"

At that he simply shrugs and murmurs, "If anyone has the right to know it's you." Had I not been paying close attention to his words, I'd have missed them and this precisely shocks me.

What?

"What do you mean?" I enquire and with a sigh he explains, "Dai Tou, you have the right to know everything about me. Those passwords are yours to know too."

"Why?" At my question he remains silent and I change my tactics, "How do you remember them? There are so many!"

The subtle change in his eyes does not go unnoticed by me as faint blush colours his cheeks and he confesses, "I remember them because they each have a meaning." Biting his lips he continues, "0508 is your birthday. 2706 is the day I first saw you and," rasing his eyes to meet mine his next set of words shake my core, "2008 is the day you and Akio moved in with me."

Oh my!

"Aren't you going to say something?" He questions awkwardly and probably this is the first time I am genuinely smiling after yesterday's turn of events, "I like you too."

My words startle him and I blush as his arms tighten around me.

"Seriously?" At his question I nod.

"Wow." At the surface of his plum coloured cheeks I trace my fingers against them, "You've changed these past two months, Xiao Zhan. You've always been Mr. Frost for me. Always so cold. Never the one to smile, but you changed. Once Lan Wangji and Sizhui came into our lives, you started to smile more. Live more."

Bringing me closer to his body he tucks his face and I grin at this newfound shyness in him, "This is where you're wrong, Dai Tou. I used to smile. It's just that you could never see me. I was pretty much invisible to you." At his words my smile falls and he's quick to kiss my cheeks, "I am not trying to hurt you Dai Tou. My heart knew that Akio is your priority and rightly so he should be. Always. I knew that there could be nothing between us and that my services and protection was just limited towards his medical conditions, but I won't lie to you, you've always been my priority and will always protect you, Dai Tou, but I had to protect myself too. This soul couldn't afford to become weak when Akio needed me to be strong.

"Whenever I saw you two from afar, this face always bore a smile. Whenever you two celebrated your happiness, this soul stood behind and prayed that your excitement lasts forever. I was always there, just never in front of you, Dai Tou."

Unable to stand the pain, flushing myself against his body, tucking my face in his chest, I finally cry out.

"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry." Is all I could spout and he very patiently caresses my hair, "No Dai Tou. You don't have to be. It's me who has to apologise. It seems I am unable to keep up my promise to Akio."

"What promise?" I hiccup.

"I promised him to always make his BooBoo smile. Never to let his BooBoo cry, but seems I have failed in that aspect, Dai Tou."

"No-" I start to say when he presses my face under his neck and continues, "Dai Tou, you asked me to share something personal with you, then here is something that I wish to say, at this very moment, your Mr. Frost feels like an utter failure. My soul is torn into pieces knowing that there is nothing I can do but sit and watch Akio fade away. Will you forgive me?"

A tear kisses my skin and I knew he's crying. Mr. Xiao Zhan is crying. Holding me tight he didn't want me to witness his anguish. "There is nothing to forgive, Xiao Zhan. If it weren't for you, Akio wouldn't have survived this alone. Thank you."

He is quite and time later I speak up, "You think there is a way to save him?"

"Yes."

"I don't want Wei Wuxian or anyone else to give up their life for my brother, Xiao Zhan."

"Neither do I, Dai Tou. Neither do I."

"How do we save him?" I question and with a kiss to my forehead he whispers, "I'll find a way, I promise."

Wei Wuxian's POV:

"Hey sweetcheeks!" Taking a seat on the patio next to Lan Zhan, I hand him a cup of bitter coffee as he raises his eyebrows at me, "What? I heard Akio use it on A Yuan. Thought let me try it on you! Did you like it?"

Turning his face away from me he continues to watch the sunrise and I sigh. He's still annoyed with me. No amount of sex is going to solve this. Kissing his cheeks I blow into his ears to plead when a knock behind makes us turn to see Hua Cheng. "If you two can spare a minute, I have someone who can solve our problems."

Curiosity gets the better of me and I follow him with Lan Zhan behind us towards the living room. Save for Xie Lian, Hua Cheng, Lan Zhan, me and another person, the room was devoid of all other beings. This is not right. Room looks the same but it wasn't. We are in another dimension and soon my eyes seek the man present amongst us. He's not an usual soul. He's powerful. Very powerful.

"Wei Wuxian, let me introduce you to another Ghost Supreme, Black Water, also known to few as He Xuan."

Another Ghost Supreme. This just got a lot more interesting.
