wei ying can't take his eyes off the man, his fighting style brutal yet elegant

his body was smooth, toned, sculpted. wy tries to get his scent under control as he watches his fluid movements

then he sees his face

what. the. fuck.

how can it be LAN ZHAN?!

https://twitter.com/S_hatori404/status/1655619159118454784

wy chokes on his saliva as lz climbs into the ring, wearing the tightest light blue shorts wy has ever seen

wy gulps. he can't tear his eyes off lz's tight, biteable ass

oh, what he would do to be given the chance to worship that

he's distracted from his horny thoughts by the ringing of the bell. wy is thankful he had the foresight of wearing a scent patch this time

lz looks deep in concentration as he tracks him opponent like he's his prey

lz has a raw energy tonight that wy didn't see last time

his opponent is on the floor, lz standing over in triumph minutes later

then his golden eyes seek wy out, rooting him to the spot

he doesn't even blink as lz makes his way over to him "wy, would you like to go have a coffee at my place?"

wy nods rapidly "YES! i really want a cock- I mean COFFEE!"

wy is mortified at his Freudian slip! lz doesn't seem to mind though as a smirk appears on his face

"mn, let's go" he murmurs, holding a hand out to wy

wy slips his small hand inside lz's, marvelling at how perfect it seems to fit for a split second before he is following lz out of the arena

he can't decide if he's excited or nervous. 'both' he thinks to himself with a rueful smile

[[to be continued, will be 🔞, inspired by another wonderful art of a muzzled lz 😍

thank you so much to hatori for allowing me to use their beautiful art as inspiration for this thread. ahhhh he's so gorgeous😍]]

lz leads wy to his car, opening the door for him. wy swoons at his gesture

then he takes a deep breath and instantly regrets it. the car smells like sandalwood. like /lan zhan/

wy exhales shakily, trying to get his pheromones under control

lz slides in the seat next to wy

he glances at wy before frowning. wy watches wide eyed as lz leans towards him

wy gulps. omg. lz is going to kiss him!

he closes his eyes, relaxing his lips as he waits in anticipation

he hears a snick before the heat from lz's body disappears

his eyes fly open and he squeaks

lz was just buckling his seat belt in! NOT trying to kiss him!

wy sinks into the seat, feeling even more mortified when he notices the smirk on lz's face

that asshole /knew/ what wy would assume! was even amused by it!

"I think i love him', he thinks hysterically

thankfully the rest of the journey is uneventful. wy keeps his gaze locked on his hands, clenched into fists in his lap

he tries to relax, enjoying the comfortable seat and the soothing smell

he definitely does /not/ think about what will happen when they reach lz's apartment

or what he /hopes/ will happen

in what seems like a flash, they're outside lz's apartment building. wy blinks in shock as he looks up at the modern, expensive building

just how could lz afford to live here on their meager salary?

maybe fighting is a more lucrative career than wy had expected

"wei ying?"

his gaze meets molten golden eyes, suddenly forgetting all about everything except being here with lz, right now

he bites his lips & nods "let's go"

he shoots lz a small smile who seems to relax at it

"mn"

they walk past the desk, lz nodding at the bored looking receptionist "mr lan. you are back"

"mn. goodnight"

wy follows lz to an elevator, not missing how he presses the button for the top floor

the doors open, revealing one door. wy gapes. just how big is his place?!

wy closes the door behind them, watching as lz's muscles flex as he removes his jacket

his mouth goes dry at the toned arms on display, unfortunately his chest still covered by a t-shirt

when lz turns to face him, wy feels like he's the prey

he takes a step back, lz following him, crowding against the door

wy looks up at him through his eyelashes "so, coff-hmpf!"

his words are cut off by lz's lip crashing into his own

wy gasps, grasping at lz's arms, finger digging into his skin

lz takes advantage and swipes his tongue across wy's lip. wy can't help the needy whine that escapes

he's breathless when lz pulls back "would you prefer coffee or a cock?"

wy feels scandalised "lz!" then he shyly answers "cock, please. /your/ cock"

lz growls as he picks wy up, hands cradling his ass

wy moans as he wraps his legs around lz's waist, not breaking their kiss as lz leads him to what wy assumes is his bedroom

lz places him gently onto the bed "strip" he demands

wy feels his whole body flush. in arousal, but also nerves "ah, lan zhan, please be gentle with this virgin"

lz's looks surprised for a second before he recovers himself "mn. will take care of you. it is also" he falters "my first time"

wy's mouth drops open, hands gesturing at lz "but how? you're gorgeous"

lz's eyes rake over his body "not as handsome as wy"

wy opens his mouth to argue (no one could ever beat lz in the looks department) but is cut off by lz's glare

his "strip. now" has wy leaking slick

lz's nostrils flare as he smells wy, wy doesn't even feel embarrassed. he's elated that he can make 'cold' lz react like that

he removes his clothing in jerky movements. he's obviously not quick enough for lz as he growls as he rips wy's top from his body

"lan zhannnn!" wy complains "I love that shirt"

lz doesn't even pause as he helps divest wy of his pants "will buy you 10 more"

his grin soon turns into a groan as lz bites his nipple gently

"ngh! lan zhann"

his words seem to spur lz on as his hand reaches down for wy's cock

wy gasps, hips involuntarily thrusting up

if wy didn't know how honest lz was, he'd think he was lying about having no experience

he takes wy apart, first with him fingers stroking his prostate as he sucks his cock, then with his dick as he fucks into wy roughly from behind

wy is a drooling mess when lz finally comes inside him with a deep groan which has wy's soft cock twitching

lz collapses, chest covering wy's back as he kisses his neck

eventually he has to pull out, wy making a sound of complaint

"shh, let me clean up and ill be back"

that pacifies wy, who's body is so satiated that he's struggling to keep his eyes open

he jolts awake when he feels lz finally spoon him from behind "sorry" he mumbles sleepily "ill leave in a minute"

lz tenses a moment before his body relaxes "stay"

wy doesn't know if it's a command or a plea, but wy won't argue

he makes an agreeing noise before his body finally succumbs to sleep, feeling so safe surrounded by the delicious scent of sandalwood and the sound of lz's breathing

he wakes up the next actually feeling refreshed

lz is already awake, sat upright in bed reading. wy sighs to himself

its really not fair how one person can be so beautiful

some how lz senses wy is awake, their eyes meeting

wy grins widely "gege, it's not fair how you look so early good in the morning"

lz eyes him "it is 11.30, it is not early"

wy rolls his eyes "lz,lz, it's before 12 so it's early for me!"

he flutters his eyelashes, heart stuttering at lz's tiny smile. he moves closer to lz so he can trace the tattoo on his arm with the tips of his finger

"so soft" he marvels before his smile turns cheeky "so hard"

lz groans as wy wraps his fingers around his cock, already hard

"you excited to see me gege?"

he yelps as he's suddenly manhandled, his arms above his head, pinned in place by lz's hand

they don't get out of bed until a lot later

wy watches lz cook them lunch, chin resting in his palm. he had offered to help out but lz had refused "you are a guest"

they spend the rest of the day together until wy's phone rings. he freezes when he sees the caller "oh shit!"

lz looks at him in concern

"i was supposed to meet my brother. I'm so late, he's gonna be so mad!"

lz frowns before he stands up "I will drive you"

wy protests that he can get the bus but lz won't listen. wy is secretly glad as he gets to spend longer with lz

"thanks"

"no thank yous between us "

the ride to the bar feel so short, wy wants to pout when they pull up outside

he turns to face lz "so, lan zhan..."

he needs to know what to expect from lz. they really should have spoken about this earlier but he was too preoccupied

"mn?" lz's gaze is so open it makes wy worried that he's going to get his heart broken

"what are we?"

lz opens his mouth to answer but someone bangs on the window. they both jump at the unexpected interruption

"wy, what the fuck took you so long!" jc yells through the window

wy rolls his eyes as he opens the window "sorry, I lost track of time"

jc suddenly seems to realise wy isn't alone and his eyes narrow at lz "who are you?"

wy winces at his brother, he's so rude sometimes even though wy knows he's just being protective

"this is lz, my...."

he hesitates. what should he say? mate? boyfriend? he wishes they had a chance to clarify it before jc appeared

lz is the one to answer "I am his colleague"

wy face freezes at that. colleague? after everything they've done together?

he rubs at his chest, the heartache causing him physical pain

he swallows before shaking his sadness off "hahaha. yes. this is lan zhan. we work together, we had to work late today. we can barely stand each other but he knew i was running late so offered to drop me off!"

wy tries to control his voice as he blabbers, not really sure of what he's spouting

"bye lan zhan! thanks for the ride!'

jc sends one last glare in lz's direction before he follows wy inside the bar. soon his ire is directed at wy

"wtf! that's enough" he shouts as wy downs his sixth beer of the night

"m'fine!" wy slurs, which is a lie

thankfully jc helps him back home, cursing as wy's stumbling almost makes them trip over twice

he finally feels peace when he passes out on his bed, still fully dressed

he wakes up with a pounding headache. he just lies in his dark room for the rest of the day, avoiding his phone and feeling sorry for himself

he doesn't know how to face lan zhan at work the next morning

should he pretend nothing happened?

should he bring it up so lz knows he's /totally/ fine with being just colleagues

wy moans into his pillow as he debates his life choices

he doesn't spot lz at his desk the next morning. he relaxes slightly as he makes himself a coffee

"wei ying"

wy startles at the voice, knowing instinctively who it is without even having to look

he twirls round to face him, face schooled into a neutral expression. damn him for being so beautiful even after hurting wy's feelings

"lan zhan"

[[ two updates to go I think 🩷

prepare for some angst 🤭
wy is in love with an idiot, but they'll figure things out 🥹

also why won't twitter let me post more than one tweet in the thread at a time 😭 ]]

wy plays with the rim of his cup before he pastes a fake smile onto his face "lan zhan! how are you? did you enjoy the rest of your weekend?"

lz nods once "mn. wei ying, can we talk..." he glances around the bustling office "in private?"

wy laughs, wincing internally at how high it is "yeah, sure. lead the way"

he follows lan zhan into the cleaning cupboard of all places, he has to hold back a chuckle at the absurdity of the situation

"so what did you want to speak about?" wy tries to act unbothered

"about our conversation the other day about just being colleagues. I wanted to apol-"

wy cuts him off "apologise for what! you were right. we are just colleagues who fucked once. no big deal right?"

lan zhan mouths no big deal

wy continues "people do it all the time. we can do it again if you want - like colleagues with benefits, instead of fwb"

lz frowns "wy, I-"

wy cuts him off by throwing himself at him. he can't bare to hear lz say that he doesn't want to sleep with him again

he knows he's being greedy and selfish but even something casual with lz is better than nothing

luckily lz responds, fucking wy against the door

wy bites down on lz's shoulder as he orgasms to stop from wailing in pleasure, which has lz groaning as he comes inside wy

they pull back, lz looks wrecked. wy /feels/ wrecked

he fixes his clothes as he tries to act causal "see. colleagues with benefits will be good for us. how about we meet 2 days a week outside of work?"

lz is silent for so long that wy thinks he will be rejected. just as he's steeling his heart, lz nods "Tuesday and Friday"

wy agrees without hesitation. he'll take what he can get without complaint

and so their routine begins

lz takes wy straightens to his place after work on the Tuesdays. he fucks wy, getting more adventurous as they try different positions

then he cooks wy a nutritious meal before dropping him at his home

Fridays, wy goes to watch lz fight, wishing he could be yell about how amazing his boyfriend is when he's in the ring

but he can't. because they're not boyfriends. not even friends

it goes like this for months, wy falling deeper and deeper for lan zhan

he fluctuates between despair & acceptance of their situation

he tries to forget the time when wc asked lz if he was dating anyone. that lz had said no. that wy had gone to cry in the bathroom for a good 30 minutes, coming out to find a concerned lz looking for him

then one day, lz doesn't turn up to work. wy is shocked, worried, confused all at once. lz has never missed a day of work before so he must be really sick

he forces himself to focus on his work, but his gaze keep drifting back to the empty desk that lz usually occupies

he tells himself that it's none of his business

but the next day, there's still no sign of lz. feeling frantic, he rushes to hr to find mm and ask if she has any news

she shakes her head apologetically "sorry, wy. I can only give that information to mates or family members"

wy nods dejectedly, having already expected that answer

he fidgets at his desk for the next hour until he decides he /has/ to go check on lz, make sure he's alright. it's not like he's getting any work done here anyway

so he calls a taxi & makes his way to lz's apartment

he clears his throat "ah, i'm here to visit lz. Can you let him-"

the man interrupts him "mr wei, you can go up. you are on mr lans visitor list"

wy blinks in surprise, having expected a fight to see lz. he thanks the man before making his way to lz's place

he knocks, frowns when he gets no answer and knocks again louder. a minute later, the door open revealing a disheveled lz. wy had never seen lz in such a state

"lz! are you okay?" wy panics. then he freezes

lan zhan is in RUT!

which means he has found someone he wants to mate. ruts only begin when a person meets a compatible partner they develop feelings for. to spend his rut alone would be very dangerous for him

"lz! do you have someone to share your rut with?" he asks frantically

when lz shakes his head, wy blurts out "I'll spend it with you. I'll make sure you're okay"

lz takes a step back "no! do not want to accidentally bite and mate you"

wy feels his heart break all over again

he can't believe he was stupid to hope for a second that /he/ was the cause of the rut

of course he wouldn't be. he's a delusional idiot

but he won't back down so easily "lan zhan, it's dangerous! please let me help. we can figure something out"

lz looks like he wants to argue but wy is already ducking under his arms, entering the apartment

"wy" lz is growly in the way that wy knows he will be getting a good pounding. he can't help his body's reaction to it which doesn't help lz's situation

"do you have any ideas how to do this?" wy wonders

lz hesitates which means he does

"tell me!" he demands

lz points at a bag on the counter. wy trepaditiously makes his have over to peak inside the bag. he gasps when he sees the content, pulling it out with shaking hands

"a m-muzzle?!"

lz nods, face grim "the only way to stop me becoming out of control and mating you"

wy isn't so sure "lz, I-"

lzs expression turns hard "wy, this is the only way I will agree to this"

wy bites his lip as he mulls it over

he eventually gives in. It will be strange but he did say he would do anything to keep lz safe

and if lz thinks that wearing a muzzle so he doesn't accidentally mate wy is the answer, then wy will follow that.

even though it stings to know lz is horrified enough at the thought of mating wy that he would willing muzzle himself

he shakes those thoughts off. he has more important things to consider right now

"okay. come here"

lz sits on the chair next to the counter so wy can place the muzzle on. it takes him two attempts to secure it, thanks to his shaking hands

when it's finally in place, wy takes a step back so he can double check it is sitting right

he doesn't want to accidentally hurt lz

instead it spurs on the lust raging through his body

they don't even make it to the bedroom, instead wy throws his clothes somewhere, not bothering to fully undress lz. he just pulls lz's pants down until his cock is released, climbing onto lz's lap, lowering himself on his dick

lz snarls as wy moans. wy places his hands on lz's shoulders for purchase as he fucks himself down onto lz's cock

he is almost feral himself with how good it feels, how good lz looks

he's lost in his pleasure until he hears lz growl "wei ying! my hands!"

wy's eyes refocus to find lz trying to rip the muzzle off, eyes looking crazed

wy clenches on lz's cock before he grabs hold of lz's arms, pinning them behind

lz struggles and bucks, making wy whine at the sensation. but wy doesn't let go, holding onto lz with all his strength

he rides lz until lz is coming inside with a choked off moan, knot swelling inside wy

wy feels so /full/

wy wraps his hand around his leaking cock and tugs once. that's all it takes before he whites out, coming the hardest in his life, impaled on lz's knot

he collapses forward, lz's arms slipping loose as he leans against lz's chest, panting

thankfully lz seems to have gotten himself under control, having taken the muzzle off

it takes a while for lz's knot to deflate. when it does, the air turns awkward

wy clears his throat as lz goes to get a cloth to clean them up. should he sneak out now? or should he stay just to make sure lz isn't it rut still

he debates with himself for too long because lz returns, not meeting wy's eyes

wy takes the cloth with a forced laugh "thanks. we made a mess"

lz's ears turn red & wy can't stop the smile from appearing on his face

"are you okay?"

wy blinks before his brain catches up "oh! i'm GREAT! how are you? I'm glad I was here to help you through your first rut"

lz shakes his head "not my first"

wy gaze snaps to lz, eyes wide "w-what? but you haven't been off before"

lz looks uncomfortable as he explains to wy "I booked holiday leave"

wy thinks back "those days you took, it was for your rut? for TWO years?!"

lz nods once, solemn

wy gapes "I-I didn't realise. the person who caused them..." he trails off

lz's expression turns blank "he is not interested in a relationship with me"

wys lips turn down, its more proof that lz didn't go into rut because of him. they only recently started seeing each other

"well, he's an idiot"

lz looks annoyed "wei ying"

"I'm just saying! who would turn you down! you're a catch!" then he mumbles

lz looks hurt for some unexplained reason and wy's chest aches at his expression

"I wish It was because of me!" he slaps his hand over his mouth at his blurted out words

lz's eyes widen a fraction in disbelief, his mouth opens but wy interrupts him in a panic

"ignore that! I didn't mean it"

lz's face flashes with hurt "you didn't mean it" he repeats

wy feels even worse now "no! yes! i-" he takes a deep breath "I /did/ mean it. But don't worry! I know you don't like me that way! As if you would ever want to be my mate haha!"

he can't meet lz's gaze, doesn't want to see the apology or pity because he doesn't feel the same way

"oh, would you look at the time! I need to go, I'm so late for my cats vet appointment! bye, lz!" wy doesn't even have a cat

he takes off, almost running to the elevator when he hears lz shout "I do, wei ying!"

he comes to a stop, confused. he turns to face lz "you do what?"

lz takes a step closer, looking earnest "I do want you as my mate. that would make me so happy"

wy stutters "w-what? but you! you told jc we were just colleagues!"

lz nods "mn. we had not discussed our situation. i did not want to pressure you into something you didn't want"

wy is astounded "but you agreed to being colleagues with benefits! You didn't want to date!"

lz shakes his head "wy. no. I wanted to date you. I was going to tell you that day in the closet but you suggested this. I agreed because at least this way, I could still have you"

wy is speechless. a few moments later, he weakly argues "but you said you've had ruts for 2 years!! we only just started having sex!"

lz suddenly flushes & wy is so endeared. he wants to kiss him so badly but they need to talk first

lz nods "when did we start working together?"

wy thinks back, then "NO WAY!"

lz nods, looking shy "mn"

wy is bewildered "gege, you liked me for so long? why didn't you say something?!"

"wasn't sure if wy felt the same"

okay, wy can understand that. it is hard to put yourself out there, not knowing if you will be rejected

wy is curious though "ah, so then why did you invite me back to your place that night?"

lz smirks "the first night, i could smell your arousal. i knew you were sexually attracted to me. I thought that would be enough"

wy wails "ahhhh, lz!! dont remind me, that was mortifying!"

lz smiles "was not. you smelt delicious"

wy doesn't know who reached for who first but suddenly they're back in lz's apartment, clothes flying everywhere

when they're finished, wy lies down, sighing in contentment as lz spoons him

"gege, I'm so glad I came by"

lz kisses his neck, breathing wy's vanilla peach scent in "mn. me too"

he falls asleep, waking up in lz's arms "does this mean we're boyfriends?"

lz nods "mn. i hope we will become husbands shortly"

wy screams "lan zhan! did you just propose? you can't say that so casually"

lz gives off an aura of smugness even though his expression doesn't change

"want to marry you"

wy smiles, eyes welling with tears "me too"

°•°•°•°•°•°•°♡°•°•°•°•°•°•°
