[Old-school exorcist master seme VS thick-skinned exorcist master uke]
[This is truly one of those beloved stories I don't dare start writing. Maybe I'll write it when I have more saved-up interest, or if fate allows.]
After an accident, the exorcism mission led by Cheng Wujiu ended in failure. Everyone died except him. Cheng Wujiu awoke after being unconscious for several months, his powers diminished. He had no choice but to leave the front lines and shoulder all the blame and accusations.
Meanwhile, Team One also got a new captain.
Gu Cheng was handsome, tall, exceptionally capable, and incredibly efficient. He had never failed a mission, and the entire team's year-end bonuses depended on him alone. Cheng Wujiu was very pleased.
It would be even better if the man didn't keep picking on him.
The first time Gu Cheng saw Cheng Wujiu, he was thirteen.
Cheng Wujiu had been pale, sitting all alone in a corner, like a little white flower forced to bloom from the wall.
Years later, when Gu Cheng saw Cheng Wujiu again, the man had become tough as steel and thick-skinned enough to be impervious to blades. He smiled and moved with ease through social situations, with no trace of the frail, immature boy he'd once been.
Yet that cold sidelong glance he gave others somehow transported Gu Cheng back to that warm spring of their youth.
"Wujiu... You don't have to force a smile around me, or compromise yourself, or demand perfect reason from yourself, or blame yourself. If anything makes you unhappy, I'll be unhappy too."
A few notes:
1. Modern urban supernatural story, with a touch of the supernatural, a golden finger, and a fake-weakness-to-catch-the-strong trope.
2. One-on-one, happy ending. Gu Cheng is the seme, Cheng Wujiu is the uke. Their roles won't be reversed or split up.
3. My uke's powers work on and off and can shift with his will. He's awesome, no explanation needed! _(:")_
4. The author is sweet and adorable. Please add this to your favorites!!!
