Work Text:
Nothing beats the feeling of finishing everything on your to-do list—especially when there's no other obligations weighing you down. To relish in that sense of freedom felt like a reward in itself.
Making his way down the staircase, Cheng Xiaoshi stretched his arms up and out with an accomplished sigh as he headed toward the studio’s living room.
“Man I'm so bored,there’s nothing else to do”
“I’d say it’s a bit early to say that, there’s always something to work on.”
“Ha, I’m way ahead of ya’- I’ve already gotten things done.I reorganized the film cabinet, tidied up the dark room, watered the plants, and even checked our email to see if there were any new assignments from Qiao Ling and there’s nothing—
So I’d say it’s smooth sailing for the rest of the day.”
Cheng Xiaoshi couldn’t hide the grin on his face as he bowed for a day’s hard work. Lu Guang flipped a page in his novel and glanced up to the dark-haired man,with a slight raise of his brow. “Mm, well I have to say I’m surprised, you're usually knocked out until mid-morning,” he teased, earning a reactive pout from the other, “In any case, thanks for taking care of everything.”
Cheng Xiaoshi's face reverted back to his trademarked grin as he moved to sit beside Lu Guang with a huff.
“I’ll take any praise coming from you~” he replied as he nudged him playfully.
“So now that we’ve got the rest of the day free, we should do something fun while we've got the chance.”
Lu Guang glanced back at him for a moment before returning his attention to his novel.
“I’m already doing something fun.”
“You’ve always got your nose in a book! I meant something more exciting than that.”
“What do you suggest? Playing games on your phone until your battery dies…again?’ Lu Guang countered, that infectious playfulness finding its way into his own words and he watched Cheng Xiaoshi react. He was dramatic as usual with a shake of the head followed by an immediate defense, “Hey— that was only one time…last week.” He paused, turning to face him fully, dragging a leg up onto the couch out of habit.
“Anyways, I was thinking that we could do something else.” There had been a subtle shift in his tone that grabbed Lu Guang’s attention, eyes prompting him to continue.
”Well, I mean it has been a while since we’ve had any time for us to uh, y'know...do stuff as boyfriends.” Cheng Xiaoshi averted his eyes for a moment.
Even with the two of them being in a relationship, the transition from being just friends to romantic partners still took some getting used to. It was all pretty new and uncharted territory for the both of them, but someone’s got to make the first move, right?
Clearing his throat he continued, “We don’t have to- I was just thinking since we had time, we might as well…”A silence fell between them, albeit a fleeting one. Lu Guang felt a slight warmth settling in his face, he slipped a bookmark between the pages of his book before clamping it shut, a sigh leaving his lips “Out of all the things to suggest, that’s what you’re thinking of right now? You have no shame, do you.”
Cheng Xiaoshi offers a shy shrug, internally hoping that his first move didn’t cost him winning the game.
Lu Guang set his book down and finally met Cheng Xiaoshi's eyes, his voice just above a whisper.
“Fine, just don’t get carried away…”
Confidentially, Lu Guang had been thinking about this very thing himself, but—he wasn't about to say it out loud.
He could see a mix of surprise and anticipation on the other young man’s face, it was like a boy who was told he could have anything he wanted from the candy store. Cheng Xiaoshi nodded, unable to contain his excitement.
Cheng Xiaoshi had moved closer to him on the couch, just to where their knees touched, hoping that his body language didn’t reflect his nerves. He brought a hand up to settle on Lu Guang’s knee as he leaned in to press his lips against his neck. He started off with soft and gentle pecks.
He heard a soft exhale from Lu Guang, feeling him shift just enough to grant more access to his neck. Cheng Xiaoshi moved his lips over Lu Guang’s Adam’s apple, allowing each kiss to linger all while moving his hand up his thigh.
In the past whenever they were able to indulge like this, there had always been this air of uncertainty between them. It would be awkward, unsure of where to go as if the GPS signal were lost. But there was something about right here and now that felt different.
Lu Guang could tell that Cheng Xiaoshi had grown more confident when it came to doing this— his hands and lips expressing his desire, letting it be known that he only wanted to do this with him.Thinking about it made Lu Guang’s body ache, he wanted to move just as freely, to forget about everything else and focus on the experience but his overthinking was holding him back.
Relax
It's okay to want this
You want him just as badly
Just go for it, while you have the chance…
Lu Guang’s body shuddered when feeling Cheng Xiaoshi's heavy hand grip at his inner thigh, it made his heart skip a beat. Lu Guang parted his legs even further, a moan escaping him— he moved a hand to grip onto Cheng Xiaoshi’s shoulder, tugging on his jacket to draw him in closer.
God he wanted him so badly.
Cheng Xiaoshi left one final trail of kisses up his partner’s neck, granting the last one to the shell of his ear before pulling away.
“Lu Guang. His voice was soft, eyes admiring the flush of color washing over Lu Guang’s skin. He wished he could take a picture and keep this memory all to himself.
“Come here.”
Lu Guang opened his eyes to see Cheng Xiaoshi resting up against the couch, his tanned skin had a touch of blush over his cheeks and ears and his eyes were focused on him. Hearing his name like that always gave him butterflies, Cheng Xiaoshi was the only one who could make his name sound so sensual.
There was only a moment of hesitation before Lu Guang obliged, moving to straddle him; his thighs resting on either side of Cheng Xiaoshi’s legs, the space separating them had all but disappeared. Lu Guang draped his arms over the broad shoulders, their eyes had finally met; he felt this magnetic pull drawing him into Cheng Xiaoshi’s lips.
Cheng Xiaoshi moaned into his lips, instinctively moving his hands to Lu Guang’s hips, drawing him even closer. It felt as if the heat radiating between them induced a feverish high. As each kiss, moan, and groan passed they seemed to meld together, desire making them dizzy. Their kisses were desperately deep, hands moving with purpose, warmth lingering and intensifying as time went on.
Lu Guang could feel himself yielding to his lust— that primal need to be touched by greedy hands, to be handled in a way that left him aching everywhere, consumed him completely. The lack of air in his lungs didn’t matter—he couldn’t bring himself to care if it meant breaking their kiss. It felt as though he were sinking into an endless abyss, his chest burning with every passing second.
More
I need more of this feeling
More of him
The bundle of nerves settled in his chest being unraveled with ease by his lover.
Lu Guang’s hands found a route of their own; fingers making their way to settle at the nape of Cheng Xiaoshi's neck, keeping him in place while plunging his tongue deeper into his mouth, a moan escaping his lips as he ground his hips down into him, feeling their shared temperature.
“Shit”
Cheng Xiaoshi cursed under his breath, his hands inching up to circle Lu Guang’s waist to keep him upright. A playful chuckle fell from his lips as he tilted his head to the side to look over his face.
“You got hard just from kissing, you’re just as into this as I am-“
“Shut up.” Lu Guang huffed as he shifted his weight and looked down, “I’m not the only one…”
“Touché.” Cheng Xiaoshi laughed, moving a hand down to rub against his bulge.
"You wanna keep going?”
Lu Guang couldn’t help but shudder at the question, he averted his eyes with a huff.
“Shouldn’t it be obvious?” He kept his voice low, not trusting its stability. All of this heat was making him feel lightheaded, he felt like he had had one too many drinks, but in this case, he didn’t mind the feeling. He wanted more of it. There was an addictive quality to Cheng Xiaoshi’s touch, his taste, just everything all at once. Of course, he didn’t want to stop.
“We really shouldn’t do this here though.”
“Aw but where’s the fun in that? It’s not like someone is gonna walk in.” He shrugged, using his thumb to rub over the fly of his pants. ”Then again, the thought of someone walking in on us like this does sound kinda hot though…” he applied more pressure, looking up to Lu Guang’s face, watching his brows knit together.
Before he could respond Cheng Xiaoshi rolled his hips upward against him, leaning forward to catch his lips again in a slow kiss. He moved his hand down to undo Lu Guang’s pants, pulling out his hardening shaft. Lu Guang whimpered into his mouth, hands clinging onto him.
Cheng Xiaoshi gripped onto him gently, his thumb swiping over the swollen tip admiring how smooth and warm it felt in his bare hand.
Lu Guang reluctantly broke their kiss, his voice just above a whisper, “Take yours out too…” eyes settling between their legs, he drew his fingers over the nape of Cheng Xiaoshi’s neck.
A grin spread over Cheng Xiaoshi’s lips as he freed himself from his pants, a sigh leaving him as that tension subsided. He gathered the two of them into his large hand, squeezing ever so slightly. Moans filled the space between them as he began to move his hand. It was slow and purposeful at the start- working his hand from the base, twisting up the shaft, drawing a moan from him, he could tell he wouldn’t last much longer like this. He closed his eyes and focused his hand, growing confident in his rhythm.
Cheng Xiaoshi tightened his grip, the act itself was already getting him there quickly, their warmth becoming one.
He opened his eyes open to see Lu Guang leaning back, rolling his hips up against his hand, his mouth fell open with shaky gasps seeping out.
God he's so sexy when he gets like this, it's driving me crazy
“Guang- you feel so good” Cheng Xiaoshi groaned, moving his hand even faster, the pace making a slick, wet sound between them.
A familiar heat started coiling in Cheng Xiaoshi’s lower abdomen, it crept up every inch of his stomach to his chest and up his neck, drawing out whines of pleasure.
It felt good, too good for what it was.
The two of them rocking their hips into his grip. It was only a matter of time before he met his end.
“Fuuck“ Cheng Xiaoshi grunted, he could feel his release spilling and running over his fist. Even though he had finished first he kept his momentum, watching Lu Guang closely with heavy eyes.
Lu Guang felt that swelling heat inching him closer and closer to the edge. God, it felt so good. Too good to end so soon. Squeezing his eyes shut, Lu Guang’s hands were frantic, he gripped Cheng Xiaoshi's jacket, desperate to cling to those final moments.
“Xiaoshi-” he shuddered, a pathetic whine burning his throat as his head fell back. All of that pressure left his body in an instant, landing on his partner’s clothing. He slumped forward shortly after pressing his face against the curve of Cheng Xiaoshi’s neck, his body trembling with uneven breaths.
The studio fell quiet aside from the faint ticking of the clock on the wall and their breathing settling back to normal.They stayed like that for quite some time, a pleasurable warmth lingering as they floated down from their euphoric high.
“You okay?” Cheng Xiaoshi murmured,
rubbing circles into the small of Lu Guang's back. He could feel a weak nod against his neck and he sighed softly.
The intimacy of this moment was truly special, it felt as if time itself had stopped and nothing outside of those four walls had mattered, it was just the two of them there.
If there had ever been a fragment of time to cling onto, this would've been it.

It was the next morning when Qiao Ling stopped by the studio with her bubbly demeanor ever-present. “Morning you two, are you feeling any better?” She asked, genuine concern over her features as she leaned against the countertop.
Lu Guang’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked at her, clearly confused “ Feeling better? We’re fine.”
“Oh, but Cheng Xiaoshi told me the two of you weren’t feeling well yesterday so I left you two alone so you could get some rest.”
“Is that right?” Lu Guang glanced over at him with a knowing look, he set the camera lens he was holding down on the counter.
“Ah Damn, it looks like I forgot to do something yesterday,” Cheng Xiaoshi rubbed at the back of his neck with a lighthearted laugh. “I should get right on that. If you'll excuse me!” He made his way over to the front of the studio, holding up a hand to wave at the two of them before making his escape.
Qiao Ling called out to him, “Hey wait!” She huffed, turning to look up to him with a suspicious glint in her eyes.
”Did something happen?”
Lu Guang sighed with a shake of his head, ears burning with embarrassment “Nothing worth mentioning...”
