[Well-endowed, skilled, rugged top x seemingly aloof but unknowingly flirtatious, tender-hearted bottom]
★ Two self-proclaimed straight guys falling for each other, with a childish back-and-forth romance
★ One-on-one, both each other's first love, happy ending
When Qin Yi finds Yu You, the drugged young man is curled up in the corner of the bed. The empty room is filled with his hurried breathing, which he desperately tries to control, but can't.
Qin Yi's heart suddenly tightens. His concern for his friend is joined by an unfamiliar desire, which gradually overwhelms his reason.
Qin Yi locks the door and approaches the bed step by step, looking down at the man, still unaware of anything around him.
The man curled up in a ball looks nothing like his usual calm, distant self.
His pale cheeks are flushed, his dark lashes trembling, and the corners of his watery, dazed eyes are a pitiful pink, like the lush heart of a flower that's been ravished.
Or like someone bowing their head and begging to be taken.
The friendship he'd cherished for so long seems to have changed into something else. The firm muscles beneath his white shirt grow ever more tense.
The air is stifling. Qin Yi reaches up and pulls off the tie constricting his breathing, then takes a deep breath and declares with righteous conviction:
"Xiao Yu, we're brothers. Let me help you."
Sensing someone enter, Yu You finally manages to regain a little of his reason, only to hear a familiar voice above him.
Unlike before, today it sounds especially hoarse and low.
Help with what? How?
The words nearly shatter Yu You's reason all over again. Even if we're brothers, this isn't the kind of thing you can just help with, is it?!
Qin Yi doesn't know whether other friends would help. He doesn't care.
Because Yu You is his only friend, and the only one he wants to help.
...Helping each other is fine too.
He stares at Yu You's throat, bobbing as he tries and fails to speak. The small mole beside his Adam's apple seems like a living flame.
It burns Qin Yi's heart again and again, making him feel a little dizzy.
Maybe the drug spreads through the air, Qin Yi thinks, unable to stop himself from leaning closer.
"I think you've infected me too. Help me out, we're brothers after all."
Yu You: "..."
