[ oh no, chu wanning didn't mean to write that in such terms. his cheeks are definitely red, now ] You're tall and broad and handsome, of course, you're unmistakeable. Also, your voice is distinct.
I am insisting I am not a cat or child. There is a difference!
Oh. Whoever that is sounds... very handsome. I am sure you will manage to impress him Mo Ran is charming and diligent and would be a good... partner? [ he doesn't want to think about mo ran dating someone else. ]
Still nonsense. Why would you even want to deliver or steal a kiss from me?
But fine, if you can manage to catch me and do that, I will not object.
[ his smile is a little too wide as he reads those lines over and over again, nearly giddy. he isn't a teenager anymore but now he does feel like one. ] Is my voice distinct in a positive way?
Ahh, so you do admit to being cat-like instead! A grown man, but cat-like.
[ he can't help scoffing, shaking his head to himself when, as expected, chu wanning doesn't understand he's talking about him at all. with how self-conscious mo ran has always found him, that's no wonder: he would never manage to see himself the way mo ran and everyone else does. ] He's incredibly handsome... but he doesn't notice me at all.
...does A-Ning really think I'm charming? And I'd make a good partner? [ wanning wouldn't say things he doesn't mean, would he? mo ran is so dazed looking at his phone screen and smiling like a fool that he nearly misses his stop and has to run out of the subway train, carrying his heavy bag with the gifted watermelon. despite how giant it looks, there's a spring to his steps as he climbs up the stairs. ]
Ah! Is that a challenge? If I manage to catch you, I'm allowed to do as I please? Firstly I'll have to pin you against the wall to make sure you don't run away.
Are you fishing for compliments, Mo Ran? Of course it's distinct in a positive way.
I have had people compare me to cats in the past. I disagree with their sentiments. [ Chu Wanning is, after all, a dog person. ]
How can he not notice you? Is he blind? You should get better taste in potential partners, Mo Ran. You would make a good partner, from what I have observed, but if this person cannot see that, then you could do better. [ It's incredibly awkward for him to talk about this because he wants to be the one Mo Ran sees like that and he has no experience with relationships or romance, but he does know Mo Ran is a very steady, solid man who would be a good partner. ]
I wasn't sure if you just meant I'm loud... but I admit I really like compliments, especially when they're from Wanning. You're one of those few people who always speak their mind, so when you compliment someone it's special.
[ mo ran just can't help laughing because disagreeing to being a cat is especially cat-like. it's because of that attitude of his that he would get compared to cats in the first place. ]
Is he blind? Seriously, I should ask him. But my taste is impeccable! [ it's a little unfair, most likely, letting chu wanning talk like this of the person he doesn't know is actually himself. but mo ran is bordering desperation, he doesn't know how to be more obvious than this. how can chu wanning not have the furthest clue yet, when probably all the neighborhood knows? especially when the older man is saying he'd be a good partner and mo ran is texting him about kissing. ]
What if we were alone in the elevator? Is that considered fair game? I'm probably big enough that, even if someone were to step in, they wouldn't see you if I lean against you in the corner.
You are loud, obviously. But so are many other people, and your voice still sounds out from the group.
[ that probably says more about chu wanning than anything else. ]
Hmm, if you think your taste is impeccable, perhaps you should have your brain examined. [ it hurts to think about mo ran dating someone else, especially this person who doesn't seem him as clearly as chu wanning does, but he dare not let himself think about the possibility that mo ran might like him. ]
I am not that much leaner than you! Am I? They would still likely be able to see. But considering how empty the elevators usually are, it is fair game.
[ if this wasn't chu wanning he was talking to, he would consider that first text a way to tell him he's special, that, even in the midst of people, wanning could find him. but this is indeed the perfectly oblivious and not at all affected by him older man, and so mo ran has to convice his heart to stop skipping beats. ]
I don't know, it's not like you've ever let me get close enough for us to compare... you're tall and have perfect proportions. I am... thick.
Fair game. It's on, then. I'll have that kiss delivered no matter what. You can't go back on your word once we're there!
[ the idea of mo ran getting close enough to compare their heights makes chu wanning's mouth dry, and he has to take a few minutes to compose his message. ]
You are very tall and broad. Sturdy. You are very masculine.
You are so insistent upon delivering this kiss. Is it that important to you?
And do you like masculine, A-Ning? [ he really can't help thinking about how it'd be like to hold him in his arms. with how tall and lean he is, he's sure the older man would fit perfectly. even just the thought makes him squirm, with how much he wants it. ]
Lifting and carrying kids every day keeps me in shape. Once they wanted to try if I could carry all of them.
It's very important. I can't let your little fan down, I gave my word.
Do you dislike the thought of me being so close? I really like it instead... being able to breathe your scent and give you my warmth...
Those things are one and the same, Wanning... what the man who's caught my eye likes and what you like. [ he's too old to do that coy beating around the bush thing. he just can't skirt around it forever fearing to scare wanning away. he'll just chase him, in that case. ]
Sadly I couldn't. Not because they were heavy at all, but because after a few there wasn't room for me to carry them safely. There, I'll show you. [ shortly after he sends a picture of himself probably taken by a colleague, smiling bright and unbothered, dimples making him look younger, with young kids holding to his biceps and hanging from his lifted arms, clinging to his thighs and hanging from his neck and piggyback riding, all of them with faces flushed with laughter. it's clear they adore him and the feeling is very much returned. ]
I run hot, no matter the season. I'm always too warm. It seems to soothe the children a lot, they often ask to be held. Would you like to experience such warmth from up close too, A-Ning?
What are you saying, Mo Ran? The one who caught your eye likes... what I like? [ chu wanning isn't stupid, he knows how to read. some part of chu wanning doesn't want to let himself read into those words.
some part of him is definitely reading into those words. ]
You and your students are adorable. I am pleased they have you as a teacher. You indulge their play.
I am often cold, even in the middle of the summer, so warmth is something I would seek out.
Are you still going to pretend you don't understand it? Should I word it differently? Wanning is the one I like. Of course I need to know your preferences.
Ah, it means a lot hearing that. Life is too harsh and school is too competitive when they're still so young. If I can help them play and be carefree a little longer, I'll do anything in my power to indulge them. If they're happy now, there are more chances they'll become nice adults, don't you think?
We're a match, A-Ning. I'll let you experience how warm being in my arms is. My kisses are really warm too, and the rub of my hands on your skin. Summer or winter, you wouldn't feel cold anymore, don't you want to try it?
There was some probability that I could be making assumptions. Having it spelled out directly is different. No one has ever liked me like that before, so I do not always know what to do here.
[ something he would not admit face to face, and even here finds it hard to be so open about the fact that there are things he doesn't know. ]
I'm sure they will become nice adults, having such an inspiring figure in their lives. Do any of your previous students come to visit you?
I... would like to try that. Though I fear I will make you cold.
Now you can rest assured it's no assumption. Though I would've liked best to tell you in person, I couldn't avoid it anymore.
No one has ever liked you before? How can that be? There's nobody kinder and more clever than A-Ning... So you've never dated anyone? If that's the case, that's good. So you can start with me.
They do. Or I sometimes go visit them since most of them have moved to the closest elementary school. They were telling me how they found their science and technology project difficult, maybe I can bring you over next time.
[ that latest text has him melting, and he just slides along the door to his apartment to sit on the floor, smiling like a fool as he reads it over and over again. he feels like a teenager, butterflies in his stomach. ] I don't find cold uncomfortable. Rather, I welcome it. But I believe I'll make you really warm, instead, once I'm done kissing you. To the point you'll feel feverish.
I am glad you have said as much over messages. I would have run away, otherwise.
I have not dated. There was no one interested; I can be rather short and sharp with people, if you haven't noticed. So I will not always know what to do on dates— Ah, that is, if your interest includes dating.
Mm, I would be glad to help. Curious minds should not be turned away from science for a lack of understanding or instruction. Science is important for children to learn.
It's okay, I would've chased you. But I'm glad that this way you feel less uncomfortable.
They were fools if they were discouraged just by you being sharp, but wait... [ it takes a moment for the information to register, maybe because he wants it so much that he doesn't know if his brain is just making it up. ] ...does that mean that you're okay with going on dates with me?? With me wooing you? Of course I'm interested in dating, A-Ning! What else would I be interested in! [ and right when he thinks he can't like him more, he agrees to helping his kids out with science homework. how is this man so perfect? mo ran can just sigh straight from the heart. ]
Well... I think you'll understand it once you feel it. Some things can't be described. But should we test if I can make you feel warm even at a distance, in the meantime?
I did not wish to presume that you intended for this to go further than... this. Though it makes sense that you would wish to date if you are confessing feelings.
How do you intend to test that? I admittedly am very curious about it.
I will always chase you, A-Ning. You're worth every bit of effort.
Do you do this often? Avoiding to presume? Or just with the things you want?
What else are you curious about, A-Ning? The feeling of my body pressing you into the wall? Or, even better, the feeling of my large, warm hand palming between your legs, rubbing into the fabric of your pants and below?
I bet you're going to enjoy begging for more, mm? If you beg really nicely, I will consider it.
[ mo ran was already struggling with restraining himself once wanning agreed to being kissed, but now that he says that he wants to experience his touch for himself —the kindergarten teacher really can't take it anymore.
his replies stop simply because a few minutes later he's knocking at wanning's door. ] A-Ning, it's me. [ he calls to make it clear.
as soon as the door opens, wanning will have two large and hot hands on his waist, pushing him back into the apartment. mo ran is still oozing heat from having been outside and his shirt stick to his torso here and there because of sweat, leaving little to imagination. ]
[ the lack of a reply puzzles chu wanning, leaving him frowning at his phone while he waits until the knock at his door. something tells him it's mo ran, even before mo ran says anything, and the confirmation is all he needs to hurry to his front door, yanking it open. ]
Mo Ran? [ but before he gets anything further out, mo ran is pushing him inside, and chu wanning gets a better look at him, mouth going dry.
chu wanning is already flushed, and the blush on his cheek deepens, staring at the shirt sticking to his torso. he's definitely warm now, and distracted, and he settles his hands on mo ran's arms without conscious thought. ] You are handsome.
[ his eyes go wide and he swallows. ] I mean— here. You are here.
[ mo ran kicks the door shut once they step inside, hungry eyes eating wanning up already. god, he's never seen him blushing and now he's sure he won't be able to think about anything else.
he laughs at the other's slip-up, a nearly growly sound, with how his voice is thick with want. ]
I am here. And you are beautiful. [ he compliments him easily and, before the other can complain, he fills the distance and kisses him. it's slow and surprisingly patient, giving wanning the time to get used to it, before he deepens it. and once he does that, the pace doesn't increase and yet it turns heated and possessive. ]
[ chu wanning has been kissed only a handful of times before and he's awkward with it, but the way mo ran holds him sets him aflame, and the slow and soft start gives him time to adjust.
before chu wanning realizes it, his arms are around mo ran, clutching his shoulders, desperate for something to hold on to, and he's kissing back, eager, although awkwardly. he's finally the one to pull back, breathing heavily, a dazed expression in his eye, as he looks at mo ran. ]
[ wanning's waist is so narrow that his hands almost encircle it entirely and it sets his blood ablaze. he wants to consume this man in ways he's never wanted anyone else.
even when the older pulls back, he follows his mouth to lap and taste it once more. once he opens his eyes, they're even darker and hungrier than before. ]
Do you understand now, how a kiss can make you feverish? [ he asks curiously, his tongue insisting between the other's lips until he can get another kiss and it's like he wants to devour him. if anything, his body gives off even more heat than when he was outside. ] ...I'm sorry, I'm even sweaty. [ he realizes now, upon feeling a sweatdrop rolling down his spine. it makes the scent of his cologne even stronger, but he regrets he must feel gross. ]
