This fic is dedicated to Writer_Markilyn/Purple_Daze! They've been incredibly encouraging and gave me the fuel for which to write this fic. Please check our their works; they're beautifully written. Their vampire fic with dark Lu Guang is a sight to behold.

I'm glad I managed to finish this right before the Japanese dub of Link Click comes out. Link Click world domination, let's go!

Chapter 1

The dim gleam of the streetlights was the only thing illuminating the path forward as darkness settled over the city. Lu Guang barely registered this as he stumbled along the sidewalk, head dizzy and eyesight wavering. A pale hand was tightly pressing down on the glaring red wound on his neck. The pain had been unbearable a while ago, but it was worryingly becoming a dull throb. He wasn’t sure if the numbness was a good thing or a bad thing, especially when he was still bleeding profusely.

Lu Guang rapidly fought to keep his rationale as he attempted to walk towards the photography studio. Reason dictated that he should go to the hospital, but there was a strong instinctual need to go home, go to where his partner was, go right now, now, NOW. It was like pins and needles were stabbing into his brain every time he tried to resist the urge.

The feeling of needing to follow his impulses was entirely new to him. He wondered if this was how Cheng Xiaoshi felt all the time. Lu Guang had always prioritized logic, steadfastly sticking to his set of rules for time travel. It wasn’t easy to do so all the time, but Lu Guang would sacrifice any stranger to keep the life he had now. He’d never put his friends in danger.

Now, though, there were dozens of complicated feelings stuck in his head and they wouldn’t go away no matter how hard he tried. He was so thirsty, suddenly ravenous for something. His mouth was parched and he kept opening it to take in air. His teeth were itchy with the need to gnaw at something. It was so, so difficult to concentrate.

I need to go home so that Cheng Xiaoshi can help. There’s no other person I trust more, and he can be unexpectedly smart at times, Lu Guang reasoned. He tried to ignore the fact that he was attempting to justify his instinct-driven actions.

Everything would be alright.

The familiar alert of the door opening caught Cheng Xiaoshi’s attention. He tossed his phone to the side and went to greet his tardy roommate.

“Heeeey, Lu Guang. What took you so long?” Cheng Xiaoshi jumped up from the couch and made his way to the front door. “I’m starving, y’kn—”

Cheng Xiaoshi choked on an exclamation of surprise as the figure before him suddenly collapsed. He ran to go help Lu Guang up and prop him up by his shoulders. The sight of the blood-drenched shirt in front of him immediately brought back painful memories. He tried to calm the panic steadily building as he checked Lu Guang’s pulse via his wrist.

No. It can’t be.

Cheng Xiaoshi’s breaths were coming faster and faster as he struggled to find any sign of a heartbeat. Maybe he wasn’t finding the right spot. There was no way Lu Guang was d-dead. He’d just been talking with him an hour ago. He was still a moving, breathing, living being when he caved to Cheng Xiaoshi’s whines for take-out. He’d given Cheng Xiaoshi an almost unnoticeable smile and a wave of his hand as he walked out the door.

It was impossible for that to be the last time he ever talked to him.

“Lu Guang. Come on, wake up.” There was an edge of hysteria in his voice and his eyes were burning. He shook Lu Guang’s shoulders as he tried not to think of how still his body was. He, he needed to call Qiao Ling. She’d reassure him that everything would be alright. But Qiao Ling was out with Xu Shanshan and he wasn’t sure she’d pick up. What could she even do to save Lu Guang?

Was it inevitable that he’d lose every single important person in his life?

He was alone.

Alone, alone, alone.

“Get up!” Cheng Xiaoshi shouted. With a last ditch effort, he smacked Lu Guang across the face, then startled when Lu Guang let out a moan of pain. The sensation of relief washed over Cheng Xiaoshi so strongly that his knees buckled and he let out a deep breath. His head felt dizzy but the fog of panic had cleared up.

“Ahhh, don’t scare me! Lu Guang, are you—are you okay? Tell me what to do.” He ran a nervous hand down Lu Guang’s back. The dried blood stood out starkly against his white skin, trailing up to his neck. But there was strangely no wound that could be seen. There was only a smooth spot where the trail of blood abruptly cut off.

When Lu Guang finally raised his head, Cheng Xiaoshi stilled. Lu Guang’s eyes were a bright blue, similar to how he looked when he was using his powers. Normally, that calm gaze would reassure him because he could always rely on his partner. Cheng Xiaoshi trusted no one else more.

But Lu Guang wasn’t analyzing a photo right now. The brilliant blue had swallowed up the usual grayness, and it looked eerie staring straight at him.

His piercing stare sent a chill down Cheng Xiaoshi’s spine. Lu Guang’s pupils were dilated. His expression was more intense than usual when combined with his unnatural silence.

It felt like he was prey at the mercy of a predator.

This wasn’t Lu Guang. Or at least if it was, he was acting very strangely.

As if to prove his point, Lu Guang leaned way too close into his personal space. Cheng Xiaoshi was usually the one to initiate their physical contact, so he could only blush when he felt Lu Guang nose into his collarbone. He could feel every touch of unnatural coldness as Lu Guang’s lips traced up to his neck. It peculiarly felt… nice.

Cheng Xiaoshi only shook himself out of his daze when Lu Guang started taking heavy gulps of air right in front of his neck, as if he was an addictive drug that he couldn’t get enough of. He shoved Lu Guang back abruptly.

“Hey, what the heck is going on? I need to know what’s happening to help. You’re acting strangely.” Cheng Xiaoshi peered carefully at the other’s expression, worry clearly in his tone. He was relieved to find that some of the light had returned to his friend’s eyes.

Lu Guang shook his head as if doing so would help him regain his thoughts. He hesitated before awkwardly opening his mouth for Cheng Xiaoshi to see the sharp, inhuman fangs.

“Some... someone bit me. Hurts—Agh… Need to…” He winced and held his head. “Wait, no. It might be dangerous. Just let Qiao… Ling know. I can handle it.”

Even when his shirt was a bloody mess and he couldn’t hide his grimace of pain, the confident tone in Lu Guang’s voice didn’t waver. Just like Qiao Ling always said, Lu Guang was extraordinarily reliable. Unnaturally so, even. He could analyze situations in a heartbeat, calmly relay the correct course of action, and comfort Cheng Xiaoshi even when he did the stupidest things. Even when he and Cheng Xiaoshi were at odds with each other, Cheng Xiaoshi would never stop respecting and admiring his best friend.

Which was exactly why he wouldn’t let Lu Guang get away with handling this himself.

Firm hands on his shoulders. “Lu Guang. We’re partners. We can handle it together, okay? Trust me since I trust you.”

He then went ahead and grasped Lu Guang’s cheek, ignoring the other’s half-hearted attempts to dissuade him. He marveled at the appearance of the gleaming, pointed tips that looked uncomfortable in Lu Guang’s mouth.

A memory from his university days popped into his head. Chatting in the classroom with his friends, he remembered when one of the conversations turned towards mythological creatures. Dong Yi’s voice resounded in his mind as he informed Cheng Xiaoshi about the features of a jiangshi: Paper talismans on their forehead, stiff limbs requiring them to hop around, and sickly green-white skin. They had fangs that could suck the life force out of their prey.

“Hmm, a jiangshi? But you don’t really have any of the other traits.” There was no talisman, and he didn’t think Lu Guang had trouble bending his limbs. He just looked drunk. And although Lu Guang was already pale, Cheng Xiaoshi was pretty sure he would notice a green tint to it.

Then he remembered the other creature that Xu Shanshan had brought up in response to Dong Yi’s comment.

“A vampire! That would fit. But those don’t exist.” He paused when he realized that both he and Lu Guang had supernatural powers that were even more absurd than blood-sucking monsters. “Wait, nevermind.”

While Cheng Xiaoshi was having a small monologue with himself, Lu Guang was continuously licking his fangs. He ran his tongue over and over them, curling over the sharp curves of them as he stared at the other’s neck with those bright blue eyes. He resisted the urge to bite, bite, bite as he dug his nails into his arms.

Cheng Xiaoshi seemed to come to a decision when he abruptly stood up and grabbed Lu Guang. Distracted as he was, Lu Guang allowed him to manhandle him upstairs to their room.

Lu Guang collapsed onto the bottom bunk of the bed in his exhaustion. He had the feeling that Cheng Xiaoshi was going to try to help and maybe screw things up beyond fixing. So Lu Guang had to be one to advise him before things got out of control.

He weakly grabbed the pillow laying there and held it in front of his face, hiding his expression. He scooted towards one of the corners of the bed in an effort to get as far away from the other as possible.

“Don’t come near me, Cheng Xiaoshi.” The command in his tone was much less demanding when it was muffled by a pillow.

Cheng Xiaoshi’s voice was endearingly coaxing when he spoke.

“Lu Guang, it’s okay. You need my blood, right?”

His hands tightened on the pillow. They both had seemed to realize it.

“Don’t be stupid. I don’t want to—nnngh—hurt you. You, you need to… stay away for now.”

“I trust you. You’re not going to hurt me. You’ve been protecting me since forever, and now I want to protect you.”

Cheng Xiaoshi came closer.

“Besides, I would much rather suffer a little in the moment over having you die. I’m not going to lose another person I love. This isn’t the past. We can fix it.”

He was even closer now, right in front of Lu Guang, with the pillow being the only barrier separating them. There was only silence in the air as moonlight shone through the windows.

“Lu Guang. Please. Let me in.”

Cheng Xiaoshi gently took the pillow down to reveal his face. The sight before him, though, shocked him to his core. When he realized what had happened, redness spread across his cheeks in seconds and the beginnings of arousal stirred up in his stomach.

Lu Guang had breathed too much of Cheng Xiaoshi’s scent from his pillow, almost overdosing on it. He was taking large, desperate gulps of air again, panting with his tongue out, pupils blown wide and fangs itching to carve into fragile skin. Saliva was dripping down his chin.

Cheng Xiaoshi was struck by how different Lu Guang looked. The image of his normally calm and rational composure sat in stark contrast to the purely animalistic, beast-like monster in front of him. He’d never known Lu Guang could look this way.

He’d never imagined that Lu Guang could be so attractive. On the surface, he knew his friend was good-looking. And his personality fit perfectly with Cheng Xiaoshi’s, despite how much they playfully annoyed each other. But Lu Guang was his best friend, his partner. Their deep bond had never needed attraction to be real. Their unbreakable trust in each other, the easy reassurance that they could stand against anything together, was enough.

But. But…

It would be so much better to touch him in the ways that I’ve always dreamed of. To let him touch me.

Cheng Xiaoshi’s thoughts were interrupted by Lu Guang’s eyes instantly snapping towards him. The other lunged at him with supernatural speed to pin him to the bed. One of Lu Guang’s hands was satisfyingly covering the entire width of his prey’s wrists. The other hand touched the collarbone and neck that he had breathed in earlier. He kept dragging his nails over the sensitive skin and digging into the grooves that he’d wanted to mark for years. Mine.

Lu Guang paused. He took in the expression of the person before him. Why is he looking at me like that? Even though the other was stunned at the unexpected actions, he didn’t look scared at all. A vulnerable tenderness filled his gaze instead. Like he had the utmost faith in his partner.

Lu Guang attempted to control himself. He breathed deeply through his nose and closed his eyes. His arms were trembling as he held himself back. As he resisted his instincts as much as he could. For Cheng Xiaoshi.

In a small voice, he murmured to him, “Is it okay? Tell me now.”

Cheng Xiaoshi relaxed into the mattress and a smile bloomed across his face. The smile that Lu Guang so dearly loved. He was so beautiful with the long black strands of his hair messily splayed underneath him, eyes crinkled in a gentle happiness. Lu Guang felt the echo of a heartbeat in his chest where there shouldn’t have been one anymore.

“Yeah. Do it.”

As if he was waiting for the signal, the vampire lunged for the soft neck that had been tempting him all this time. Finally.

Awkwardly fumbling with the new features he’d acquired, Lu Guang messily tried to pierce the smooth skin. Cheng Xiaoshi winced in pain, but silently urged him to go on by stroking through Lu Guang’s messy hair. Lu Guang responded with a soothing hum and tightened his arms around the trim waist.

Once Lu Guang had a taste of the blood hidden within his partner’s vessels, all control went out the window. It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted. A peach of immortality, taste exquisite yet indefinable. His fangs ripped into the skin roughly in an effort to take more and more of the sweet fluid.

Cheng Xiaoshi was literally giving him his life. Trusting him with it. Fully believing that Lu Guang would choose to protect him in the end, just like he did every other time.

He was his to protect.

He continued to glut himself on the addicting liquid. The knowledge of who it belonged to only made it more savory. There were so many sensations swirling around in his head. Gratitude, pleasure, affection. A vague sense of arousal burned in his stomach.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiaoshi was in euphoria. His brain had blanked out the moment he felt the other hungrily taking his blood and sucking on the wound so he could lick every last drop away. There wasn’t even any embarrassment as his erection strained the fabric of his basketball shorts, precome pearling and staining the front of them. He frustratedly rutted against Lu Guang’s knee. There wasn’t enough friction. All he could think about was how good it felt.

He loved Lu Guang so, so much for giving him this pleasure.

Cheng Xiaoshi gave little pants and whines as his hips thrust up and down. He wanted to come so bad. It was torturous to be denied release.

After a few minutes, Lu Guang managed to reluctantly pull himself away. He was worried that he was taking too much blood from Cheng Xiaoshi. There was no way in hell he’d risk that. Still, he licked at the last drops of blood, unable to resist. The rough drag of his tongue on Cheng Xiaoshi’s skin triggered an intense shiver from him. But Lu Guang let go of his wrists and started to move away.

He was prevented from going back further when a hand grabbed his wrist tightly.

“W-Wait!” Cheng Xiaoshi’s eyes were wider than they usually were. There was a distinct pleading expression in his face.

“You haven’t had enough yet, right? Come on, Lu Guang, you can keep biting me.”

Cheng Xiaoshi couldn’t stop himself from trying to take what he wanted. It was shameful to take advantage of Lu Guang like this, but he couldn’t help it.

Still, Lu Guang hesitated. Now that he was more sane after curing his blood deprivation, he didn’t want to go overboard and drain his best friend dry. But the fragrant smell of the blood was still in the air and he was incredibly tempted to take, damn the consequences.

Inhibitions lowered, Cheng Xiaoshi made a desperate last resort. He dug his fingers into the still-healing wound on his neck to coat his slim fingers with his blood. It was painful, but it would be worth it to feel that addicting feeling again. Then he reached out the same hand to bring it closer to the vampire. Hooded eyes and a sultry, pleading look called to Lu Guang like a siren’s call.

“Please, bite me? Feels sooo… good… Just a little more, okay? N-Not gonna hurt me.”

Damn. Lu Guang caved to his instincts. It was pointless to argue against how much he wanted all of Cheng Xiaoshi.

He dragged his tongue carefully around the bloodied fingers, a messy trail of saliva left in its wake as he savored the flavor. Lu Guang placed a kiss on the palm when he was done. Finding a vein in Cheng Xiaoshi’s thin wrist (so beautiful, small enough to hold in the palm of one hand), Lu Guang once again pierced the flesh.

Cheng Xiaoshi gave a loud moan, unconsciously opening his mouth to let out a trickle of saliva. Tears of oversensitivity pooled at the corner of his eyes. He wasn’t sure why he was so affected by something that should have been painful. Maybe there was some aphrodisiac-like effect to a vampire’s saliva? Whatever the case, he needed to come. He grabbed Lu Guang’s other hand and unceremoniously shoved it down his shorts, pressing him to wrap those elegant fingers around his most sensitive spot.

Distracted as Lu Guang was in suckling the life-giving fluid, he obediently gave into Cheng Xiaoshi’s demands by wrapping a hand around his cock and squeezing. His partner’s breath hitched before he gave moans of encouragement and pleads for more. It made Lu Guang darkly satisfied to be the one who drove him insane. His blood, his pleasure, his love, his life was Lu Guang’s. It always would be.

As Lu Guang lost himself in his animal-like impulses, he grew more savage in his efforts to please his mate. He squeezed the base of Cheng Xiaoshi’s hard cock before fingering the tip of it to encourage more precome from the slit. Meanwhile, he continued to coax more blood from his wrist with his teeth. He wanted to give as much as he took.

With a throaty cry, Cheng Xiaoshi came. His eyes rolled up in overstimulation as thick spurts of come landed on his stomach and stained Lu Guang’s pretty fingers. The pleasantly throbbing bite marks on his neck and wrist burned, while his cock felt rubbed raw. His whole body felt like a live wire. He ached to be touched and bitten and fucked. But it would be agony for his body to experience any more pleasure. He’d never been exposed in such a raw, vulnerable way before. He opened his eyes to look up at Lu Guang.

Penetrating blue eyes looked back at him. The eyes of a monster, waiting to devour.

Cheng Xiaoshi trembled at the same time as he smiled. He spread his legs and let the beloved beast sink its teeth in his thigh, intimate in all of the right places. He surrendered to the pleasure and let his best friend, his lover, his monster take care of him.

Notes:

They go through multiple orgasms before finally getting tired out. Cheng Xiaoshi has bite marks all over his body, including a decorative collar around his neck so that he can't hide it :') Lu Guang gets much more clingy and possessive, much to Qiao Ling's amusement.

 

Here's a little gift if you like vampires. It's got a gorgeous art style and interesting world-building. And hot vampire sex. 👀

Chapter 2

Notes:

wow it's been a while, have some vampire sex

Trigger warning for the mild dubcon nature of vampire aphrodisiac fluids, under-negotiated kinks, and overstimulation/somnophilia hijinks. They are both very into it but I updated the tags just in case!

Awareness came slowly, as it often does after passing out. Cheng Xiaoshi’s limbs felt sluggish, exhausted from—from what? There was something important he was forgetting.

His neck tickled. Something sharp was dragging steadily over his pulse, making him shiver. It was so close to piercing his jugular, to digging into the soft layers of flesh and lovingly entering his body to get to the sweet nectar. The featherlight touch contrasted sharply against his frantically jumping heart rate. But the sharp thing only teasingly dragged back and forth… back and forth… back.. and…

“Nnngh—?!”

The rabbit stepped foot into the trap.

The moment Lu Guang bites down, Cheng Xiaoshi seizes, eyes rolling and clenching on something hot deep inside him. A pitiful streak of fluid jets onto his stomach as he wails. Cheng Xiaoshi would be embarrassed if he weren’t so unbearably overstimulated, toes curling from the pleasure so intense that it woke him right back up.

“GAH—! T-Too much, stop, please! Help, I can’t…”

He couldn’t stop contracting around something deep in his belly, a hot and hard warmth that kept nudging torturously at his prostate. Frantically, he tried wiggling his hips back to escape. That only backfired when his weeping, oversensitive cock touched something warm, causing him to writhe in place. It felt good but it was too much, too much, TOO MUCH—!

“Cheng Xiaoshi. Stay still.”

The familiar tone of Lu Guang’s voice broke through the haze. His body was still twitching uncontrollably, but his panic lost its edge, blunted by his partner’s presence. If he listened to Lu Guang’s commands, everything would be okay.

Cheng Xiaoshi took in deep breaths as Lu Guang’s face slowly came into focus. The first thing he became aware of was their very close proximity. As in, literally wrapped around each other. Well, it was hard not to notice when Lu Guang’s cock was inside him, he thought hysterically. He tried not to look at the love bites and scratch marks decorating his friend’s skin. Mostly because if he dwelled on it, he would be viciously satisfied about them and that was not something he could think about right now.

Lu Guang ran his hand through Cheng Xiaoshi’s sweaty bangs. His cold fingers felt like heaven against the human’s heated body. He sighed, pressing his face into Lu Guang’s palm and closing his eyes. Feels good.

When the hand withdrew, he whined and tried to follow it. A chuckle answered him before Lu Guang’s arms embraced him. Upon seeing the necklace of hickeys adorning Cheng Xiaoshi’s neck, though, a grimace marred his face. The guilt in his expression told Cheng Xiaoshi everything he needed to know, and he wouldn’t stand for that.

“I’m sorr—mmph.”

Cheng Xiaoshi kissed him. Only to shut him up, obviously. Certainly not because he couldn’t stop thinking about Lu Guang’s piercing gaze, attention only on him, his sharp fangs as he bit and bit and bit… his beautiful cock that he shoved so deep inside Cheng Xiaoshi that he swore he could feel it if he pressed down on the bulge it made through his stomach—

He licked into Lu Guang’s mouth, tonguing curiously at the newly-acquired fangs. The other was obediently holding his mouth open like he was at the dentist. Absentmindedly curling his tongue around one fang, Cheng Xiaoshi wondered how awkward dentist visits would be for his best friend.

Hands tightened around his waist, pressing in punishing bruises as Lu Guang’s jaw twitched. It must have been hard for the vampire to resist biting. Arousal pooled in his belly as he thought of the pleasure that the bite gave earlier. Suddenly, the need to be bitten accosted him. There was an urge to witness an animal emotion on that normally expressionless face, to turn his best friend into an instinct-driven creature.

Lu Guang stared right into his eyes as they kissed, hooded eyes carefully watching him. The attention was pleasing. It made Cheng Xiaoshi want to cradle his face gently and let the comforting warmth of touch connect them. They could have been doing this all this time. To make up for lost time, he encouraged Lu Guang to reciprocate with a rock of his hips and a smug press of his tongue on a fang, on the cusp of drawing blood.

The vampire’s gaze snapped up to Cheng Xiaoshi’s, eyes narrowed as Cheng Xiaoshi lifted an eyebrow. With a faint snarl, the challenge was taken.

Their tongues intertwined, messy spit slicking the distance between them. Lu Guang touched the soft palate of Cheng Xiaoshi’s mouth with the tip of his tongue, drinking in the throaty moan that erupted. Cheng Xiaoshi melted. He began leaning heavily on his partner, trusting Lu Guang to catch him as he surrendered to the floaty headspace he was in before.

The kiss broke with a string of saliva still lewdly connecting their mouths. It almost felt too intimate when their hot breaths mingled together. Sharing the air, sharing their blood, sharing their life. Their fates would be forever intertwined.

Lu Guang smiled. In the moonlight, it almost seemed like the gentle, loving expression was one of a savage predator finally capturing its prey. Maybe it was both.

Did it even matter?

Nope, he mused as Lu Guang settled firm hands on his hips and poised fangs over a nipple. He shivered with anticipation, feeling the warm weight of the cock inside him start to harden. Maybe he could ride Lu Guang’s pretty cock while he was sleeping, as a little payback for earlier. Or he could shove the entirety of Lu Guang’s length down his throat so he could listen to those choked moans as the vampire unconsciously twitched his hips forward. Yes, ramming it down his throat and gurgling as he choked on it sounded pretty amazing.

Once Cheng Xiaoshi was exposed to the intense adoration on Lu Guang’s face, looking at him as if he were the entire world… There was no way Cheng Xiaoshi would give it up.

After all, Lu Guang was his now.

 

---

 

The rest of the night came in flashes of clarity. Just like always, Lu Guang was a constant presence, able to settle his overactive nerves with a stroke of his hand. It was almost frightening how much influence Lu Guang held over him.

Was that really his deadpan best friend pinning him to the floor? The same guy who returned Cheng Xiaoshi’s fist bump with a small smile, the one who hadn’t looked the least bit interested in sex? He stole Cheng Xiaoshi’s sanity away with every touch. The intense desire in Lu Guang’s piercing blue gaze made him choke on his moans.

“Cheng Xiaoshi,” Lu Guang whispered, breath hot as he panted in his ear. The vampire was plastered over his back, sweat sheening over his paper white skin. Slim hips were glued to Cheng Xiaoshi’s ass, leaving no space between them as Lu Guang rutted into him. Cheng Xiaoshi was too tired to even keep his body up. Cheek smooshed against the floor, all he could do was endure as he let Lu Guang use him.

A soft apology was murmured before fingers tangled punishingly in his hair. The human yelped as his hair was taken out of its ponytail, the inky strands being pulled in a firm grasp.

“Agh, what—?” He tried to turn his head.

Lu Guang hummed. “I’ve always wanted to do that. You look so pretty like this, Cheng Xiaoshi.” The praise contrasted sharply with the dark chuckle that followed. Before he could reply, Lu Guang’s fangs mercilessly bit through the nape of his neck, stealing away all of his thoughts.

 

---

 

Blink.

They were laying side by side. Staring into his best friend’s annoyingly handsome face, Cheng Xiaoshi startled at the feeling of his hands, along with Lu Guang’s, wrapped around something sticky. Okay, so this was obviously their dicks. Curiously, he investigated Lu Guang’s length. A little larger than his own, curved slightly as it throbbed with painful-looking arousal.

A whimper answered him. Cheng Xiaoshi smirked.

He thumbed at the slit, coaxing out more precome amidst the white already coating the head. It was hard to believe that this was inside him. Licking his lips, he quickened the pace, stroking roughly and taking a peek at Lu Guang’s face to see the moment he went over the edge.

Lu Guang didn’t disappoint.

The vampire thrashed, claws digging into the back of Cheng Xiaoshi’s shoulders as he came violently. Instead of a full-body moan like he expected, Lu Guang kept his voice back, only letting out tortured groans as he shivered from the aftershocks. Only a plaintive whine managed to slip when Cheng Xiaoshi kept milking him.

Smugly, Cheng Xiaoshi let go so his best friend could recover. However, he stopped abruptly in place when lightning-quick fingers swiped up the warm come and shoved themselves in his mouth. He recoiled but the instant the thick liquid smeared over his tongue, it was like a whole new world opened up.

Cheng Xiaoshi licked around the fingers, cock slowly hardening as the semen settled in his belly. It felt so hot. Just like earlier, his whole body felt like a livewire, destined to vibrate out of his skin with the slightest touch. The last thing he remembered was Lu Guang looking, looking, looking at him as he squirted on the sheets.

 

---

 

Blink.

Cool water poured down his throat as he registered a mouth against his. He relaxed in relief at the sensation, accepting the drink that soothed his overused throat.

“Mmmngh,” Cheng Xiaoshi mumbled when his partner pulled away. Lu Guang cupped his face with a cold hand, finger thumbing at the trail of water left at the corner of his mouth. The corners of his eyes crinkled when he gave Cheng Xiaoshi a fond smile. It made Cheng Xiaoshi’s heart throb with unbounded affection to see his partner so happy. He gave a dopey smile back.

Lu Guang silently stared at him. Then without a moment of hesitation, he leaned over Cheng Xiaoshi and pushed him down with a firm hand on his chest. When he stared back in confusion, Lu Guang only casually opened his legs and settled his body in between them.

Cheng Xiaoshi flushed. He had known that the other was straightforward but he didn’t know how to deal with his advances when it was directed, well, at him. This possessiveness, did it come with the vampire transformation? Or were his instincts just amplified? Had Lu Guang always looked at him like this? It was so hard to read him sometimes.

“Stop thinking,” Lu Guang commanded. “We do need to talk. But that can wait until after I breed y—” The vampire froze. Shifting his face away, ears red, he mumbled, “Just… we’ll talk. After.”

Cheng Xiaoshi gulped. Yes. Yes, he very much wanted to be bred by his best friend and stuffed full of come. Remembering the feel of that warm weight inside him, how the fluid coated his insides and short circuited his brain… It was a little too addicting now that he thought about it.

I need it.

“Yeah. Okay. And uh, Lu Guang?”

Cheng Xiaoshi gulped, eyes unconsciously going down to peer at the white trail of hair leading to Lu Guang’s cock. Currently soft but rapidly swelling, needing to be lodged deep inside his body.

“…Don’t hold back.”

He would soon regret those words.

 

---

 

Blink.

“Please! Stop! Lu Guang, c’mon, pleaseee, please it’s too much, I can’t—I CAN’T!”

It was as if Lu Guang had taken it as a challenge to wring as many orgasms as he could out of him. For all that his partner was cool, calm, and collected, he could be surprisingly petty at times. Usually that only extended to little competitions and arguments between them.

Usually.

“Ghhh—noooo… sho deep,” he slurred. Cheng Xiashi needed to get away. His thoughts were scrambled and head stuffed full of cotton. He cringed back when a hand wrapped around his sensitive member, head shaking violently back and forth. Lu Guang had edged him earlier by neglecting his cock before milking him from one orgasm high to another. His body hadn’t even stopped twitching before Lu Guang started touching him all over again.

Glowing blue eyes studied his face with fond exasperation. As if Cheng Xiaoshi were a naughty puppy.

“Tell me the truth. Are you sure you aren’t greedy for pleasure?” Lu Guang tightened his arms around the other’s slim waist, squeezing at the globes of his ass as he thrusted. Cheng Xiaoshi made an overwhelmed noise.

It was like he was on the precipice of euphoria. He wanted more, but to yearn for more meant to surrender himself to total destruction. He felt like he would break into pieces, unable to go back to the way he was before. There would be no way to dive back in time to fix it.

“Cheng Xiaoshi?” Lu Guang’s concerned face came into view. “Is it okay?” was unsaid. He rubbed Cheng Xiaoshi’s shoulders comfortingly, worry and uncertainty coloring his expression.

That’s right, Cheng Xiaoshi thought, feeling stupid. This is Lu Guang. Of course I trust him. As a vampire, as a human, as a mysterious otherworldly being who might come from a different timeline, whatever!

“Mmm… yeah,” he whispered. His voice was hoarse. Even as he was committed to going through with it, he couldn’t stop the tears from leaking. It would be so much, too much, but he would do it. For Lu Guang.

“I-I want it deep, ah, inside please.” Hiccupy sobs ensued. His mind was made up but his body hadn’t adjusted, still shivering and twitching away from more pleasure. Scowling, he said louder, “Yes. Please f-fuck me. I will literally die if you don’t.”

Lu Guang stared at him suspiciously before the corner of his mouth tilted up, satisfied with his answer.

“Not literally,” he remarked as he lifted up Cheng Xiaoshi’s leg and slid his fangs onto the skin surrounding his nipple. The bite mark that was left in the fleshy, sensitive area left a sensation that burned through his veins.

 

---

 

Lu Guang turned his unconscious friend over. Cheng Xiaoshi was passed out drooling, dead to the world. Wincing at the motley of bruises decorating the other’s body, Lu Guang gently wiped him down with the damp towel. His mind was a mess of emotions. Stuck between guilt (obviously) and a vicious satisfaction (vampiric infection clearly capitalized on his already-strong possessiveness), it made it hard for him to think clearly.

Bite him. He’s yours to do with as you please. Why hesitate when you’ve already taken him?

I get it, he snapped at himself. While cleaning up his partner’s body, his instincts had craved every bit of touch it could get. Even leaving to get a towel had his skin itching, nerves only settling when he wrapped a hand around that fragile wrist, encircling it fully as if he could cuff them together.

He wanted to spoil his partner, to overwhelm him with the most exquisite pleasure until he couldn’t even remember his own name. The lively and charismatic young man who dropped into his life like a storm—Lu Guang wanted to ruin him. Give him as much happiness and joy as he gave to Lu Guang every day, every moment. Love him so deeply that his body becomes addicted, that his blood sings with it.

(Lu Guang faintly hoped that Cheng Xiaoshi could become a vampire too. That way, he would never get hurt. Lu Guang would never want to live in a timeline where Cheng Xiaoshi didn’t exist anymore.)

Okay, maybe he was a little obsessed with him.

As if on cue, a loud snore came from Cheng Xiaoshi’s direction as a hand smacked lightly at his face.

Lu Guang blinked, then let out a small snort. “Idiot.”

Tossing the towel to the side, he laid down and encircled his arms around the other’s waist. It was nice to… cuddle? This kind of touch had been alien to him before he moved here. He slowly rested his forehead on the back of his friend’s neck. Breathing in the comforting scent, relaxing as Cheng Xiaoshi sleepily nuzzled back into his touch.

The only thing he could think of when his eyelids grew heavy and sleep whisked him away was, “I love you.”

“Aiya! What happened to you guys?!”

Bleary eyes opened as Cheng Xiaoshi watched Qiao Ling enter the studio. He was currently flopped on their couch, long limbs sprawled everywhere, while his partner lay passed out on top of him. Lu Guang grumbled at the noise, shifting to push his head deeper into Cheng Xiaoshi’s chest.

Fortunately, they were both dressed, having cleaned up before dazedly settling onto the couch from exhaustion. Unfortunately, it couldn’t have been more obvious that they had had a sex marathon with the sheer amount of bruises and bite marks covering them. Cheng Xiaoshi would have to cover every inch of his skin if he were to go out. He suspected that Lu Guang would be as embarrassed as he would be secretly pleased.

Belatedly, Cheng Xiaoshi realized that he had forgotten to inform Qiao Ling of their… situation.

Their friend rushed up to them. Upon realizing that they were, in fact, not injured, she eyed his neck and gave him the most judging look he had ever seen. It probably looked like a weird sex thing to her.

Actually, it was a weird sex thing when vampire fluids triggered intense arousal.

Qiao Ling was not amused when he blurted that out.

Normally, Lu Guang would interject to assert a more sensible explanation. Except no help was offered since Lu Guang decided to teeth at Cheng Xiaoshi’s neck like a big ol’ cat. It was extraordinarily cute, sure, but please help him explain this, Lu Guang?!

He sighed and shifted the vampire in his arms so that they were in a more comfortable position. Then he turned to Qiao Ling and regaled her with a tad-over exaggerated tale of a mythical creature called a vampire. He still wasn’t sure about how exactly Lu Guang got bit nor if this would cause any problems in the future. But that could wait.

Qiao Ling’s face shifted to one of worry and guilt as the story went on. She bit her lip.

“I’m sorry that I wasn’t there. But I’m glad everything turned out alright.” After a momentary pause, her expression cleared to reveal a teasing grin as she remarked, “Ah, but you guys finally got together, huh? Wait until Xu Shanshan hears about this.”

Cheng Xiaoshi rolled his eyes and grumbled, prompting a tired Lu Guang to rub a comforting hand over his back.

“Uh, wait. How are you so calm about vampires? Isn’t it pretty unbelievable?” Cheng Xiaoshi tilted his head curiously.

She gave him a look. “Time travel.”

“Oh.” Right.

Qiao Ling stretched her arms back with a satisfying crack. “Okay, well. I’ll be researching vampires then. Lu Guang,” she addressed with a pointed finger. Lu Guang lazily shifted his head to let her know he was listening. “Take care of yourself, alright? I would say to take care of Cheng Xiaoshi too, but that’s already a given. I trust you.”

Lu Guang’s eyes glinted as he took in her words and nodded firmly. Qiao Ling smiled, leaving with a wave and a resounding, “Bye!”

A comfortable silence permeated the room. Cheng Xiaoshi snuck a glance at his friend. Lu Guang’s expression was open and unguarded as he held his hand, fingers slotted together neatly. Cheng Xiaoshi squeezed his hand back and laid his head on his partner’s shoulder. No words were exchanged. There didn’t have to be any when their actions spoke for themselves.

Notes:

I still haven't watched Link Click Season 2... I heard some exciting spoilers about the ending, but I'm not sure about the new characters. Maybe I'll just go in with low expectations. GuangShi will carry it anyway :')

My specific kink for overstimulation and violent horniness is inspired by:

• Noblesse Oblige by azurrys
• Sanguis Vita Est by HyperLittleNori
• Stamina should have been a verb by scribblywobblytimeylimey
• Jiangshi by KudaKano (long-since deleted; remember to download fics you love, folks!)

Kudos are appreciated! Comments are nice too, whether they be a simple "I like this" or "God I am so fucking horny," I'm flattered. This story really was just shameless self-indulgence.

Chapter 3

Notes:

I updated my other explicit GuangShi fic so I thought I might as well update this one too. It's basically more smut. Actually, every chapter is smut... :') Maybe I just like vampire sex. Enjoy!

Additional tags and warnings: Mild dubcon, aphrodisiac vampire fluids, overstimulation, biting and blood obviously.

The atmosphere between them hadn’t changed much.

Cheng Xiaoshi still regularly argued with Lu Guang. Lu Guang still exasperatedly called him an idiot. They were still best friends who trusted each other with their lives.

So the vampire stuff wasn’t all that important.

Well, that was what Cheng Xiaoshi thought, anyway. Apparently, Qiao Ling couldn’t stop bemoaning the intense PDA she witnessed on a daily basis. Cheng Xiaoshi hadn’t even realized that they’d been so… all over each other?

Oops.

Hey, was it really Cheng Xiaoshi’s fault that Lu Guang was so clingy? Sure he’d been the one to introduce casual touches to Lu Guang. Sure he’d awakened Lu Guang’s inner possessiveness by giving in way too easily to the other’s vampiric side. Sure he’d practically given away his virginity in a not-so-platonic way to his best friend.

He groaned.

“Damn it. It really is my fault.”

“It’s not, Cheng Xiaoshi,” Lu Guang murmured into his ear. “No need to overthink it.”

Of course Lu Guang would say that. Cheng Xiaoshi knew that the only reason Lu Guang wasn’t blaming himself instead was because Cheng Xiaoshi had vehemently protested against it every time. It wasn’t Lu Guang’s fault that he was bitten by a vampire.

He sighed, nuzzling his back into the firm chest behind him. “Yeah?” he replied. “Then what should we do about Qiao Ling’s complaints? I feel bad.”

Lu Guang tapped his neck. At the signal, Cheng Xiaoshi bared his neck with no hesitation. His nape was littered with obvious bite marks that he made no attempt to hide. It felt right to receive a necklace of bruises marking him as Lu Guang’s.

“Me too,” Lu Guang said. A cool finger traced its way down his neckline. The human shivered in anticipation.

“But I’m not giving this up,” Lu Guang continued. A hot breath tickled the back of his neck, disturbing the strands of hair around the area. “I need you. Understood?”

At those commanding words, he felt a sense of thrill propagate throughout his body. He shivered. 

“Okay, okay. Understood. Just bite me already, will you?” Cheng Xiaoshi pleaded pathetically. He tucked his hair to the side for easier access. Why the hell was Lu Guang not biting him yet? Did he not look tantalizing enough? Those fangs needed to be inside him yesterday.

As if sensing Cheng Xiaoshi’s impatience, Lu Guang avoided biting him. Instead, the other teasingly licked his neck and shifted Cheng Xiaoshi’s legs so that they were thrown carelessly over Lu Guang’s lap. He was completely spread open for the vampire to take. At the vulnerable position, his heart began beating rapidly.

“Please, please, c’mon! Do it already—don’t you want me? Bite me, fuck me, Lu Guaaaang…”

Cheng Xiaoshi’s voice sounded so different from his usual petulant whining: full of naked pleading and wholehearted devotion. It was as if getting bitten and fucked by his best friend awakened the cock-drunk slut inside him.

If anyone else saw him like this, they’d think of him as easy.

Not like anyone would have the chance when he was claimed by Lu Guang already.

“I’ll give you anything you ask for, Cheng Xiaoshi,” Lu Guang responded with a gentle note to his voice. Despite how soft he sounded, those chilling fangs pierced him mercilessly. His skin quickly gave way, like his body knew to accept anything Lu Guang did to him.

“Aaaaughh… feels good, r-right there!” Borderline pornographic moans echoed from his throat. He’d be embarrassed if he weren’t so busy getting high off of Lu Guang’s bite.

The vampire suckled on his neck, coaxing the ruby red fluid from within. Lu Guang groaned at the heavenly taste, fingers gripping hard where they were planted on Cheng Xiaoshi’s thighs. The human’s eyes rolled behind closed lids as he pulled Lu Guang in closer. He wanted to encourage his partner to seal his mouth against the skin, clamping on as tightly as a wolf would to a deer.

A few minutes later, Cheng Xiaoshi was a dazed mess. He slumped his entire weight against his partner. Lu Guang went to grab him some water, but Cheng Xiaoshi interrupted him with a sudden kiss.

“Open your mouth, Lu Guang,” he demanded when Lu Guang kept his mouth closed. The vampire hesitated. His teeth were still stained red and mouth filled with an iron taste. It would no doubt be unpleasant to kiss him.

“C’mon, I’ll buy boba for you next time! I wanna kiss you,” the human wheedled impatiently. Cheng Xiaoshi made sure to lean in closer so that the low dip of his shirt revealed the slightest hint of a rosy red nipple.

There was no way a predator would reject its prey offering itself up on a silver platter.

Cheng Xiaoshi knew he had him the moment Lu Guang’s eyes drifted to his lips.

As Cheng Xiaoshi opened his mouth to tease him about it, Lu Guang darted in closer and captured him in a deep kiss. Their tongues slipped past each other, entangled and caressing.

The iron taste of blood barely registered to Cheng Xiaoshi. Instead, the addictiveness of vampire saliva kicked in. He was slowly going crazy over how good kissing made him feel. He shivered, body intensely affected by the aphrodisiac fluid surging through him, lighting him on fire until every nerve screamed for Lu Guang’s touch.

Only Lu Guang could give him this sort of pleasure.

Arms settled readily around Lu Guang’s neck as Cheng Xiaoshi turned to further slot their mouths together. Spit-slick lips alternatingly moved back and forth as they became engrossed in kissing. Cheng Xiaoshi’s cock was starting to strain the front of his pants at the close contact. He noted with smug satisfaction that his partner felt the same way, judging by the solid pressure jutting up into his ass.

As Cheng Xiaoshi started grinding his hips into Lu Guang’s, he stared into his lover’s pretty eyes. Lu Guang was so damn handsome. It was honestly illegal. How could others expect him to keep his hands to himself? It was so different from the casual touches that the naturally touchy-feely Cheng Xiaoshi was used to. He wanted to trace every aspect of Lu Guang’s face and chest and thighs and… just everything. He wanted to do outrageously lewd things with him that he hadn’t even thought about doing with a girl before. 

Insanity slithered through his mind when he wondered about the extent of Lu Guang’s newfound… powers. Not to mention that they hadn’t even attempted to experiment with the kinky aspect of diving in time together.

But what really set Cheng Xiaoshi’s body on fire was the thought of Lu Guang being obsessed with him. Not only reciprocating Cheng Xiaoshi’s touches and feelings but returning them back tenfold. Overwhelming him with sheer affection, branding him with his bite mark, showing off his hold on him and warning others to back off. The lengths that Cheng Xiaoshi would go to receive Lu Guang’s love—it scared him. It was terrifying, to be so obsessed with someone.

It could have been due to the vampire-related aphrodisiac effects.

A convenient excuse, if it weren’t for the fact that this whole experience opened the floodgates of his feelings for Lu Guang. He never felt lonely when Lu Guang was there with him. He could always trust his partner to save him no matter what happened. There was so much about Lu Guang he loved, from his initially reclusive personality to his calm presence steadily guiding him in his mind to the way he had a secret competitive streak.

His best friend.

His lover.

Fuck.

Cheng Xiaoshi moaned into the kiss as he snapped back into reality like a rubberband. All the sensations caught up to him as his hips jerked and he came, leaving sticky wet trails on his stomach. Even after coming, he couldn’t stop rutting his ass against Lu Guang’s cock, desperate to feel his partner climax too.

“Wait,” Lu Guang gritted his teeth as he forcefully pushed Cheng Xiaoshi back. His hands grasped onto Cheng Xiaoshi’s shoulders, stopping him bodily. The ease with which Lu Guang moved him made the human shiver.

“Nngh… what…?” Cheng Xiaoshi’s brain blanked out. His speech became slurred as he tried to process what was happening. Everything was a soupy haze. Lu Guang and he, they, love—wanted… inside him? Yes, inside him.

He grinned dopily while using one clumsy hand to pull down the waistband of Lu Guang’s gray boxer briefs. The other’s pale cock kicked up, already flushed red and leaking. Cheng Xiaoshi wanted to put it into his mouth immediately, to lick up and swallow every last droplet that came out.

But, he paused. His hole felt so—empty. He wanted that comforting warmth inside him. He wanted to feel it pound mercilessly into his prostate before he squeezed around that length and milked the come straight out of his lover.

“Cheng Xiaoshi,” Lu Guang hissed. This time, his iron grip transferred to his wrists. Cheng Xiaoshi stared at the sight of both of his hands being held down by one of Lu Guang’s. His breath came out heavily and he almost salivated at the thought of Lu Guang pressing him down and simply taking what he wanted.

A sudden pinch to his nipple jolted him out of his musing. “Ow!” Cheng Xiaoshi protested.

“Pay attention when I talk to you,” the vampire looked at him coldly. His eyes appeared to be darkly slitted. The hand at his wrists squeezed down. It hurt so good.

Oh.

Why did that turn him on even more?

Cheng Xiaoshi panted, “A-Ah, sorry. I’m sorry, Lu Guang. Can’t help it, want—want you. Please.”

“Good.” Lu Guang made a small noise, pausing to think. He loosened his grip and absentmindedly massaged the skin of Cheng Xiaoshi’s wrists. “Calm down. You’ll get what you need in due time. Just let me take care of you.”

Cheng Xiaoshi almost melted at the chance to leave himself in Lu Guang’s hands. There was no greater protection than a monster that would do anything for you.

“Mmn,” he mumbled obediently, relaxing into the hold. His mind was so quiet. Peaceful.

Lu Guang pressed a gentle kiss into his hair and said, “Yes, that’s it. Deep breaths, in and out. Just focus on me.” 

The accompanying soothing touches to his back made him fall deeper into that pleasant feeling. Just him and Lu Guang’s voice echoing throughout his mind, continuously guiding him to safety.

One blink later and he belatedly realized that the obscene squelching noise was coming from the long fingers etching themselves deep inside of him. The slide was soft and slow. Lu Guang’s fingers were coated liberally with lube as he explored Cheng Xiaoshi’s insides with practiced ease.

His body was positioned over Lu Guang’s lap, although he had no memory of it. The thought of Lu Guang manhandling him into that position while Cheng Xiaoshi was all soft and sweet and docile—Fuck. He liked it. He liked it a lot.

Even the nudges against his prostate felt strangely muted somehow. It was like his body was lagging behind as he caught up to the sensations. The most those touches earned from him was a twitch and a reedy moan. Which the vampire seemed to enjoy, judging by the appreciative humming that ensued.

Another blink and Cheng Xiaoshi found himself sinking on the fully erect cock below him while staring hazily into the other’s eyes. Lu Guang rubbed circles into his waist and planted tiny kisses on his collarbone. The beautiful sensation of fullness was so satisfying that he could cry. This was where Cheng Xiaoshi was meant to be. Stuck on Lu Guang’s cock and warming it up with his body.

The next time awareness came back, it wasn’t a slow slide into consciousness. No, it was a firecracker going off and sending sparks throughout his vision. He shrieked at the sensation lighting up the nerves in his body.

“AGH—?! Wh…whaaat…?”

In shock, Cheng Xiaoshi hyperfocused on the spot that radiated intense pleasure and pain. He was… lying down? With one leg up? Fangs pierced through the soft and sensitive skin at the back of his knee. Cheng Xiaoshi could feel the sharp teeth cut through the muscle like butter, hungrily seeking out the precious blood vessels. All the while a thrust of hips reminded him of the presence of a thick cock inside him.

Staring straight into his eyes was the otherworldly gaze of Lu Guang. His partner’s expression showed how unapologetic he was. Like he was doing this for Cheng Xiaoshi’s own good.

And just like that, the pleasure overwhelmed the pain. His vision whited out as he came yet again, squeezing down on the cock inside him uncontrollably.

“Ghhhh… I’m, too much, coming—stoppp…” His body twitched with the strong aftershocks that wrecked him. Tears escaped his eyes.

But no amount of begging would make Lu Guang stop. He played with Cheng Xiaoshi’s body like he was his personal toy, made exclusively for Lu Guang’s pleasure.

Too much, but I want it, yes inside, so good… Take me, breed me, please please please, even if I say stop, force me down and touch bite eat—do whatever you want, I love you, yes, love you, love, mine mine mine

Cheng Xiaoshi laughed hysterically, gasping after another orgasm was yanked from his body. He couldn’t stop trembling with the weight of his love for Lu Guang. Lu Guang gave Cheng Xiaoshi everything he wanted—wasn’t his partner so considerate? Wasn’t he so lucky to have someone like Lu Guang to tend to his every need? 

A soft spot for Cheng Xiaoshi and Cheng Xiaoshi alone.

He didn’t know when it happened but the next thing he knew, he was straddling Lu Guang’s lap and fucking himself frantically. As if he’d die if he went one second without the other’s cock. 

The burn of the member inside him had him gasping and drooling. His ass slapped almost violently against the other’s thighs as he tried to shove Lu Guang’s cock deeper and deeper inside his guts. He wanted every inch of Lu Guang’s come to coat his insides, painting him from the inside out. The precipice of his climax was so close. More, more, more.

This time, Cheng Xiaoshi readily welcomed the kiss Lu Guang pressed into his mouth. A wet and messy slide of their tongues together, entirely different from the chaste pecks they shared in front of others. Saliva dripped from his mouth as the vampire’s tongue curled lewdly around his own. Almost like Cheng Xiaoshi was getting claimed from both sides. Being forced to submit… felt so good.

“Lu Guang,” he panted, breath mingling with the other’s. The thrusts never ceased. Cheng Xiaoshi cried out, “Need you to, inside, pleashhh—I’ve been good, haven’t I…? Hah— !”

A harsh moan erupted from his mouth at the sudden hand wrapped around his dick. He had already come so many times that it could barely produce any fluid. But it was like it didn’t even matter to a groaning Lu Guang, who looked viciously intent on taking everything he could from Cheng Xiaoshi’s body. Lu Guang continuously milked him while thrusting and mouthing at his swollen nipples. The sensation was all too much. Cheng Xiaoshi helplessly grasped at Lu Guang’s hair and dug his toes into the bed.

With a final gasp, Cheng Xiaoshi came. His body twitched violently at the intense pleasure, but no fluid came out of his cock. Breath taken away, he could hardly process how he was being propelled from one orgasm high to another, hips jutting forward uselessly. Only a few pitiful drops splattered onto his stomach. Lu Guang’s thick come, however, settled satisfyingly in his belly.

They both finally dropped onto the bed, inordinately exhausted from… whatever that was.

The vampire carefully adjusted him so that Cheng Xiaoshi’s back faced Lu Guang’s chest.

In the quiet that followed, Cheng Xiaoshi couldn’t help but think about how fervent their feelings were towards each other. Their relationship seemed to progress awfully quickly—or was this inevitable? The carnal attraction was always there, just buried deep inside and now greatly enhanced by the vampire stuff.

This couldn’t be normal, right?

“Stop overthinking,” Lu Guang grumbled with a nuzzle to the back of his neck. The skin there was rubbed raw, pleasantly achy and sore from being bitten so much.

“I thought you were the one who thinks too much—ah!” Cool fingers suddenly maneuvered their way into his hole, disturbing the come that was still deeply lodged inside him. The tips of his ears flushed as he realized Lu Guang was pressing the come that leaked out back inside. It wasn’t even done particularly sexually, just an idle gesture that Lu Guang did at a convenient time.

Lu Guang really couldn’t keep his hands off of him.

“Jerk,” Cheng Xiaoshi said fondly. He rocked back into the fingers slowly exploring him.

“Idiot,” Lu Guang sniped back, although he smoothly turned Cheng Xiaoshi’s face towards him in order to plant a soft kiss on his cheek. 

The other’s steel gray eyes lacked the slitted ice blue hue it usually took when he was using his time powers or being a clingy vampire. Right now, it was just regular old Lu Guang, eyes subtly crinkled at the corners and a gentle expression on his face. His best friend that would always be there for him, the person he’d give up his life for.

I love him so much.

Overcome by an intense need to show his affection, Cheng Xiaoshi gently brushed aside the bangs on Lu Guang’s face before pressing his own lips against the other’s forehead.

Somehow, it was the kiss that got both of them embarrassed despite all they’d done that evening. The entire expanse of Lu Guang’s face and neck flushed a bright red while Cheng Xiaoshi swallowed nervously.

A suffering noise came from the vampire’s throat as he gathered Cheng Xiaoshi back into his arms.

“...Stay close to me so you don’t fall off the bed,” Lu Guang muttered, voice muffled from where he buried his head into the crook of Cheng Xiaoshi’s neck.

Cheng Xiaoshi laughed. The other could try to hide it all he wanted. Cheng Xiaoshi would always see through him.

For once, though, he’d let it go without teasing. He nudged one of his legs between Lu Guang’s and settled in for a long nap. The last thing his sleepy consciousness registered was the comforting feeling of Lu Guang’s steady breaths against his neck.

 

---

 

“Pick that one, Guang Guang,” Cheng Xiaoshi said, finger pointed at the game screen in front of them. He was sitting sideways in Lu Guang’s lap and being as annoying as ever.

“Don’t call me that,” Lu Guang grunted with a swat to the idiot’s legs.

“I’ll stop if you pick it!” Cheng Xiaoshi kicked said legs against the couch with a pout.

Begrudgingly, he picked the item Cheng Xiaoshi wanted and was rewarded with a happy nuzzle against his neck. He was so damn whipped for his boyfriend.

“You are so damn whipped,” Qiao Ling echoed as she came in through the entrance. Other than a less-than-enthusiastic side-eye, she didn’t even look surprised anymore at their position.

Cheng Xiaoshi hugged his neck and piped up, “Qiao Ling! You’re just jealous that Lu Guang will take my side from now on!”

Qiao Ling raised an eyebrow at the same time Lu Guang said flatly, “No I won’t.”

Cheng Xiaoshi’s eyes glinted.

Quick as a flash, he leaned in and bit the side of Lu Guang’s neck hard enough to draw pinpricks of blood. The mark stung as saliva dripped from blunt human teeth. Cheng Xiaoshi proudly laved over the mark with his tongue, clearly unapologetic.

The expression on Lu Guang’s face may have seemed impassive to an outsider. Until one looked closer and saw the beginnings of his pupils narrowing into slits and his fangs elongating, ready to sink his teeth into his prey.

Noticing the abrupt change in atmosphere, Qiao Ling sighed and hightailed it out of the room. She’d never understand the two of them, especially when they got stuck in their own world like that.

They at least had the decency not to have sex in front of her. Yet.

…Well, maybe she should write that clause into the landlord contract. Just in case.

Notes:

This goes out to my fellow Mignon and Hyperventilation enjoyers. I think Mignon ep 12 has gone viral at some point (for good reason, that sex scene is DELICIOUS) but the gasps and moans in Hyperventilation are so steamy. Please check it out if you haven't heard of it!

Thank you for reading, and for any kudos and comments! I hope my writing style hasn't changed too much these past few months haha.
