Pale Eyes
(This chapter is going to have some soft moments after all that bloodshed)
Xiao Zhan's POV:
"Wake up Xiao Zhan" a voice softly nudges into my conciousness "haven't you been asleep for a long time now?"
"Meh, I am at peace. Let me be" I turn away and try to grasp the last trace of slumber that I had been enjoying.
"Won't you even wake up for your BoBo?" at his name I open my eyes and look around and was pleasantly surprised to find myself inside my cabin, tucked inside a nice blanket in front of the burning fireplace and BoBo's head on my shoulder. He was sleeping peacefully and looked like a baby.
"Beautiful isn't it?" a voice questions and I turn towards him. Sharon Li or should I say Baoshan Sanren. But he's right, this dream is indeed beautiful.
"What do you want kid?" I tuck myself into the blanket, careful not to wake BoBo. "Is this how you're going to address me?" he raises his eyebrows and I roll my eyes and retort "You're younger to me so get used to it. Be glad that I ain't cursing in front of you" I grin and he huffs. A moment later I ask "Are you safe?" and he nods "I am with Ruan at the moment. Where I am not sure, but yes for now I am safe. He isn't angry with you though I did tell him that he shot you and for that he is in denial. He knows you've been rescued and he's planning on abducting you again."
Hm. This is exhausting.
"I'll try and stall him as much as possible for you to recoup" Sharon's gaze falls on Yibo and then on me.
"Nope" I stress on the 'p' as my fingers pass through my hair "you will not stall him but rather try to befriend him."
"What are you trying to insinuate?" his eyes sparkle and I wink "Befriend him slowly. Take him into confidence and when you find the right opportunity get in touch with me and we'll form a plan. For now don't do anything stupid. Act your age. Be the way you always were. Don't be too suspicious and leave all the gunning down to the elders. Got it?" I glare and he slowly nods.
"Alright but you need to wake up. You need to go back to your Lan Wangji. He's been through a lot this one week and" he pauses by using his chin to point at the man on my shoulder "be kind to him. Heal him for him to heal you back. I'll be in touch" before I could retort the vision changes and my heart burns. "BoBo" I whisper as his image becomes distorted and my soul winces in pain. Biting my lips I let the burn consume me.
Feeling a warm hand scoop me I hear his voice "I'm here" he whispers and my soul knew this is my BoBo. I try to open my eyes with great difficulty and the moment they open, my gaze finds the concerned ones of BoBo only to hear him gasp.
"Hey" I smile and a second later he kisses my forehead and whispers back "Don't you fucking scare me like this again" pulling me into his arms and tucking my face into his neck, I tease "Promise I won't ever fucking scare you again."
"Can we enter?" I hear Dre and turn to face him when his usual smile falls and his eyes widens. It was JC who barges into the room, striding to where I am, he grabs my face and questions "What happened to your eyes?"
My eyes?
"They've changed. I'll call Dr. Park immediately. This is not normal" as he fishes out this phone, I stop his movements "Wait, let me handle this first." Moving away from BoBo I walk into the washroom only to stop in front of the mirror and stare back at the reflection of a man who is supposed to be me? What the fuck? I growl inwardly and hear Sharon laugh.
"Surprise" he giggles and I growl "I wanted to tell you about all this back in the dream but you were do disrespectful" he continues to tease me "so I wanted the last laugh." Rolling my eyes I accept his words and close my eyes. Immediately his image is in front of me. This time neither were we in a cabin nor in front of a fire place. We were in a black void vortex. Just us.
"What is all this?" I enquire and he explains "Remember my words from before when I said we're from the same bloodline? You have two gifts. One is premonition to see future and the other is through touch. Once you touch someone you can only see one's past and once you touch them, your souls get acquainted to eachother and therefore it won't affect you when you touch them again. That's what happened in both Yibo and Ruan's case. As for us it never worked as I am a seer."
Oh?
"I won't lie. You were almost killed. Back then when I said 'one cannot play with fate' my words were true but to save you, all I did was to evoke the dormant powers of our bloodline within you. No one knows what are your powers, that is for you to learn and cope with but know this, you are a seer now. Just like me. We'll be able to communicate in future. All we need to do is tap into eachother's conciousness but this is dangerous too."
"Why?" I enquire and he smiles "because if either of us are killed or caught when in this state, we can forever be trapped here or worse our souls will disappear without trace, so use it well."
With that he disappears and I open my eyes to find my grey eyes staring back at me. A knock on the door lets me know that there are people who are worried for me. Opening the door, I grin widely and walk out "I'm hungry. What's there to eat?"
"Zhan, what the fuck is going on?" JC grits his teeth and I pat his cheeks "Jiggly poo, feed your sweetcheeks and I'll tell you everything." He rolls his eyes but a small smile on his lips did not go unnoticed by me.
Once Adrian and JC leaves, I watch BoBo clutching his head and breathing deeply. "Hey" I crouch next to him "are you alright?" at that he nods. "Why don't you go ahead and eat something. I'll join you soon" his eyes meet mine and they were red. I knew this man. If I were to ask him anything further he would shut me out. So not to precipitate the matter to much, I agree. "Alright, whenever you want, come out and join me" walking towards the exit without turning back I whisper "Missed you too, BoBo." Referring to his kiss from before.
Wang Yibo's POV:
My eyes are burning. Walking towards my room, striding into the washroom, I splash some cool water into my eyes. It didn't work and I observed that my lenses were causing the irritation. Removing and cleaning them with the solution also proved to be futile.
"Don't bother Lan Wangji. They won't be useful anymore. When one's power is unleashed the other becomes his strength. Be the eyes he needs." the voice disappears and I look back at the mirror.
Pale Eyes.
Weibo's pale eyes.
Leaving the lens on the cabinet I step out and amble my way to where Weibo was.
To say I am nervous would be a serious understatement. I am anxious to how Weibo would react. He hasn't seen these eyes in so many years. Just as I enter the dining room, their conversation comes to a standstill and he turns to face me. Getting up from his seat he slowly saunters to where I am. His face is impassive which makes it difficult for me to judge but when a beautiful smile graces his face, my heartbeats relax.
"Hello there" his voice is so soft "we finally meet" his eyes peer into mine and I smile back.
"Hey if you two are done oogling at eachother shall we continue with our breakfast?" Adrian teases and Weibo chuckles.
"So I'll call Dr. Park today and inform him of your prognosis. By the way your nurse would be here soon" JC places a cup of tea in front of me "and then -" Weibo sighs and cuts him off "Well all that can wait. I have more important work that needs me attention" turning to face me his are again impassive "I need to take you out for lunch."
Huh? I like a fool only could blink "What?"
"Yeah, remember that night right before I was abducted, we decided to go out for dinner. Well I don't wish to wait a minute longer. We'll go out for lunch so don't have a heavy breakfast" he sips his tea and we all look at him.
"Obviously you aren't going, Zhan. You just got out from the hospital" JC grits out and Adrian's eyes were on me. As for Weibo, he wasn't paying attention to JC's words and after his rant all he did was wink and give JC a flying kiss, that made us all laugh.
"You're right. I was abducted and shot, but I am back. Don't worry. I have the Boss with me. Who would dare hurt me again?" he places a hand on my knee under the table "Let me have this JC. Please" his voice is ernest and JC acquiesces.
After our so called breakfast, Weibo turns to me and grins "Ready for our lunch BoBo?"
Something wasn't right but as he said, with me around no one would dare hurt my Weibo.
"Ready" I follow him as he leads the way.
