Wang Yibo's POV:      

To say I was furious with Weibo would be an understatement. I was beyond pissed off with him. Even with the errand which Chief had asked us to perform was not done upto the mark. All I had to write were reports of another case and that was not done well. Why? Because certain individual was playing with my head. Fuck.

Walking back to his cold lonely penthouse, I pass through his office where my eyes could see the light glowing from within. He's working. Dammit, I should too but because of him, was unable to. Fuck.

Striding back to my room and locking the door, I whip out my shirt and throw it all the way across the room. Catching the sight of my bare body in the mirror, my fingers trail through the varied marks on my neck. Not marks. Hickeys. The one he gave me last night. Last night.

A knock on the door breaks my reverie and a moment later I open to find staring at my body. The anger within me turns into an undeniable heat and the next moment I pull him inside with his back crashing against the wall. My lips were on his and his scent intoxicated me to commit a carnal sin. Biting his lips, making him bleed, I could taste the metallic swirling in my taste bud.

Pushing me away lightly, his command was loud and clear "Stop. On the bed now!" His gaze meets mine and with an air of mock arrogance I comply. Panting, my soul feels like a raging Bull for he is the fuel to my fire. The desire in his eyes is of burning passion and as he takes those last few step to where I am seated, the passion gave way to a different emotion. An emotion I couldn't associate with but from what I assume was close to compassion.

Standing between my legs, he gently embraces me, as his hands bands around my shoulders. He places my head on his heart and it was when he gives me a soft kiss at the top of my head, did a lone tear fall from my eyes. An unknown pain pierces my heart and my finger where the string is tied burns.

"This feels like a goodbye" I turn my face up to look at him and the warmth in his eyes tugs my heart strings. "Is this a goodbye for us Weibo?" I enquire as he slowly wipes a tear from under my eye. "There can never be goodbyes between us, BoBo." His voice is so ernest but it was his eyes that gave away the truth. He's leaving soon.

"But-" he cuts me off by kneeling in front of me and I am shocked. Knowing who Weibo is and trying to understand the intricacies of his lifestyle, he would never kneel in front of anyone and as though he could read my thoughts, with a kiss on the bridge of my nose he murmurs "You aren't anyone, BoBo. You're mine." Hearing those words made me feel safe.

"Can I?" His question pains me. He's asking my permission to touch me. With a small nod I welcome his kiss on my cheeks. Closing my eyes, feeling his soft breath on my skin, makes me shiver as he trails down my neck. Feeling his tongue lap my sternum, I give him complete access to my body. His each touch ignites a passion within me and when he flicks my bud, I flop down on the bed and he continues his torture. He gently bites my naval and my body arches against the bed.

Oh my!

I place a knuckle in my mouth to stop my moans when he crawls on my body and whispers "I love it when you moan for me, BoBo. It makes me feel." At that I open my eyes to find his grey ones glazed with heavy emotions. Quickly switching our positions, pushing him below me, I pin his lower body with mine and place my lips on his. Gently kissing him, feeling his warmth, I continue "Weibo, I am glad that we are incarnation of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying but let us not forget that just as they are not us, we are not them. We may have traits of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying but our personalities are ours. I care for you not because Lan Zhan loved Wei Ying, it's because you're my Weibo that I wish for you to be alright."

I implore him to understand and he pulls me in for a hug. Tucking his face into my neck I marvel the fact that this is the same person who today morning stood amongst us and concocted a plan so brutal. Yet, when it is always just the two of us, he does not hide away from showing his vulnerability. With me he shows me a part of him that no one is aware off. He does not shy away from showing me his true nature.

"Weibo?"

"Hm" his voice is soft.

"Do you think if it weren't for the Red String of Fate or our connection to the past, we'd be together this way?" I enquire and his eyes seek mine. With a small smile playing on his lips, he reveals his heart to me "BoBo, I long stopped questioning 'what ifs' in my life. For a person whose entire existence has been dark, they don't go about questioning the blessings in their life."

At this explanation I gasp. Does he mean...?

"Yes, you're a blessing in my life BoBo. Never have I felt so close to another soul before. Whether or not you're Lan Zhan or I am Wei Ying, whether or not we're connected because of the Red String of Fate, I care for you and that's all that matters to me. You" he pauses and cups my face "you matter to me."

My heart. I couldn't stop the tears from trailing down and he gently wipes them with his lips.

"For less than one month, my body has been battered, bruised and shot in so many places that I have lost count. When this ordeal is over, let's go out for lunch or better a date" he grins and I ask sceptically "Will you pay or ask me to pay again?"

"You're never going to let that go are you?" Nudging my nose with his, he laughs "I'll pay BoBo, next time and forever." I freeze at his words and my heart falters. Forever.

"Brave of you to assume that I will accept your invitation to your date" I huff and immediately am pinned below him. "BoBo" biting my pectoral, causing deep indentation he growls "I will make you submit to me. Never in my life I wanted to make another soul submit to my wishes but you," biting me again he laps the wound "you make me want things I have never wanted before."

Crawling up my body, his eyes were on me "When I do fuck you" his smile is seductive which makes my breath hitch "you'll yearn for more. Your body, your mind, you" he stresses "will be mine."

With a soft kiss on my lips he moves away from me. Scared that somewhere I knew after tonight, it would be a long time for us to be together, I plead "Stay. Tonight, please stay with me." The soft look on his face indicated that he knew the reason for my plea. He knew that I am aware for he is upto something.

Without another word he joins me on the bed, covering us with the soft blanket, he pulls me into the warmth of his body. The mark that we bore together on our chest was no longer a reminder of our sorrowful past but rather of a war we had won together. For what is going to happen in the future was not any less but this time we were prepared.

"Weibo"

"Hm?"

"Did Lan Zhan and Wei Ying have a good life together?" I enquire. He was quiet but then he answered truthfully "Yes, BoBo. They had a good life."

"Will we too?" I probe and he kisses my forehead "We'll have better." At that I smile.

Closing my eyes we were a step closer than before physically but where as emotionally we were already united. Time is of essence and I am sure if we come out of this war unscathed, our lives would be beautiful.

As dawn greeted us, I didn't dare open my eyes when his warmth left me slowly. With a small but lingering kiss on my lips, he was gone.

Tucking myself into the blanket, I cry for what is to come. For our night that went by. For a lifetime when we could have met without these many scars. But moreso for a soul who just gives and in return does not expect anything.

Be safe.

My heart knew something was brewing and there was nothing I could do. As expected Chief walked into our base in the penthouse and by the look on his face my heart fell. Before he could say those words I knew the inevitable has happened.

"Boys, Zhan has been abducted by Ruan's men, but before we jump into conclusion, read this. Letter written by Zhan himself." Chief hands over the letters to each one of us and I open mine with trembling hands.

Dear BoBo,

Trust the bond as I trust you.

~ Life without pain is not a life well lived for when we have someone to trust, makes the journey more meaningful.~

Save a date for me. I'll be back soon. Be safe. That's a command.

Yours,
Weibo.

Psst: Password to the room of arsenal is 0508 so get me some of them when you come for my rescue.

Psst 2: Also I have a gift for you. You'll get that only once you rescue me. Think about it.

I am coming for you. I watch the thread glowing. Once this is over, let's have that date, Weibo.
