For My Beloved

-Shen Wei-

The next morning, after some breakfast with his mischievous lover that could barely keep his hands away from him, Shen offer to drive Yunlan to the office, then go back home in his red Hummer. Zhao had asked why and Shen had told him that he needed to buy things for dinner as well as other necessities and as he didn't have a car, because he lived inside the grounds of his working place, he needed Yunlan's red extravagance to go shopping for him.

Zhao then offer that they could go grocery shopping after work, because he would be more than happy to help him with the task and even offer to carry his bags for him. However, he dismiss the idea, telling Yunlan he had nothing else to do, aside from read and wait for him to go home until he was fully heal, which will take a few more days, until his next medical check and he would be even happier to have dinner served by the time his impatient lover come home.

So, after he leave Zhao at the office with a heated goodbye kiss, he was on his way for his long day of preparations. He went to a few shops and buy all he needed, which took him half the day, just to find the right thing for his beloved took him two long hours of searching, but just when he was beginning to despair, he found what he was looking for, right how he wanted and rushed home, to get everything ready.

He spent the rest of the day transforming Yunlan's house, then when he was satisfy with the result, he went to the kitchen and prepare a very special dinner for the two of them. He barely got enough time to take a relaxing bath, then prepare Yunlan's second gift to present him with. At five he went to pick up his lover and go out of Zhao's Hummer, to enter the office. Those who see him, like Zhu Hong, were left with their mouth open as he walked toward the Chief's office, after greeting all the workers.

Zhu found Shen Wei extra handsome that evening, with his elegant black tuxedo and white shirt, perfect hair and appealing perfume, very manly yet sexy. That was how Zhao Yunlan's prince looked like, the perfect image for any magazine that wanted to sell the item in record time. He was carrying another black tuxedo, carefully bended over his left arm and Zhu smiled with a hint of jealousy.

It was obvious that Zhao's prince planned something romantic for his lover and she wished she could have a man as romantic as him. A shame it was long taken. Feeling she was intruding and was already time to go, she packed her things and after giving a last glance at the perfect man, with a straight back, about to knock her Chief's door, she headed for the main door. So did Da Qing, Guo and Chu.

Shen knocked at Yunlan's door and after he told him to go in, Shen open the door and was surprised to find Zhao with a big pile of documents. He was so busy, he didn't chance a glance his way, probably thinking that one of his employees had knocked, instead of him. However, as soon as Shen Wei's glorious sent hit his nose, Zhao happily looked at his lover to greet him, but he too was left with his mouth open, from which a mango lollipop fell over one of the papers, but Zhao couldn't care less.

"My Wei..." Zhao manage to whisper as he looked almost in a trance at his very handsome lover in his full glory.

"God evening Yunlan, we are going to have a special dinner tonight, so please, change your clothes. I brought you this." Shen said, while putting the tuxedo over the chair in front of his desk. "I will wait for you outside." He added, still leaving Zhao in wonder. Soon after, Zhao go out of the office, fully changed with the only exception of his shoes, which he had taken them from the Hummer while he waited.

"Here, your shoes..." Shen offer him, but the shoes could wait, however he could not. The man in front of him was too perfect to be true, so Zhao wasted no time to bring him close and kiss him quite passionately before he could vanish, like if he were an illusion.

Shen hesitate at first, because honestly, that wasn't part of the plan, but if Yunlan could not wait for a heated kiss, then he was more than glad to give him what he wanted. A few minutes later, Zhao finally let go of Shen and breathed. He keep Shen Wei hostage in a tight hug, then slightly kiss his neck.

"Yunlan..." Wei whisper.

"What's this, Shen Wei? What did you planned?" Zhao asked, looking at the image of his perfect beauty.

"A very special dinner. We have a reservation, so let's not be late. Put the shoes on and we will be in our way..." Shen said, turning to walk away, before Yunlan could make him change his mind and plans, he work quite hard to make.

"Hey, what's the occasion? You didn't say anything this morning..." Zhao manage to say before he was out.

"You will find out very soon, hurry up, or we will be late." So Zhao Yunlan did hurry and sat in the passenger seat, while Shen drive. At first, Yunlan though they were going to a nearby restaurant. The city had many fancy ones, but Zhao was surprised that suddenly, Shen turned and headed back home.

"Shen Wei?" Zhao curiosity spiked.

"Sorry, I forgot something important at home... hope you don't mind." Wei explained, giving him a devastating smile that melted his heart to the core.

"Not at all my Wei..." Zhao said, honestly wishing he could convince him to stay home and do... well, the things they did last time in the bath, but if Shen Wei went to the trouble to be at his best to have a fancy dinner with him, he doubted he will want to stay at home, were they belong the most.

They were in front of the house in record time and Shen went out of the car and ask Yunlan to wait for him in the there, that he will be back in a few seconds, but after two minutes passed, Zhao frowned. However, his mobile ringed and seen Shen's number, he worry even more.

"Shen Wei, what..." But he was interrupted before finish his sentence.

"I'm sorry Yunlan, but can you come here? I can't find my wallet, do you remember where I put it?" He inocetly asked and Zhao sighed.

"I can pay for our dinner, Shen Wei..." Zhao said gently.

"Then it will not be my gift..."

"You don't need to gift me."

"Sure I do, I owe you more than my life, I love you so fully too..." That alone make Zhao lost his coherence. He was sorry for Shen's plans, because right now, he was planning in taking out his magnificent suit and have him naked over his bed.

"I will be there in a second." Zhao said, then hurry out and walked the short distance to his door in a few hasted huge steps.

However, when he open the door, he was out of this world in surprise, as he saw a narrow trail of red petals, along with red and white candles as far as he could see into the living room. As he looked up, there were also a trail of red and gold balloons reaching the ceiling, with long ribbons that further marked his way in.

Zhao smiled as his heart raced with both, intense happiness and love, for the man that he had manage to catch, his lover, his partner, his other half, soul mate and everything he have. He slowly follow the petals, candles and ribbons path, admiring Shen's hard work. At the sides, he could read an I love you, made with candles and even a set of rings made with white petals. Then he understood.

Shen had planned their private wedding all on his own, as their promise, so as he walked the beautiful path Shen made for him, he thought on his vow, because it was their intimate promise they will keep for the rest of their lives. When he finally reached the open door of their room, which have a table with a fancy dinner over it, as well as wine, he smiled even wider.

The bed was curiously deprived of rose petals, but the rest did. Over their bed, there was two small boxes, he presumed were their rings, over a silver plate which did have red ones, adorning the rings.

"Yunlan..." Shen whisper and Zhao walked the little distance to reach him by the bed. Shen extended his hand and he took them in his with great love.

"You are such the romantic, I feel like a bride, even when I was supposed to be the husband. You wicked professor, don't use subliminal messages with me, I am the husband." Shen smiled, pleased that his lover was as mischievous as ever and that he had understood the meaning of his gift.

"We can discuss that latter, now, will you marry me?" Shen asked and Yunlan smiled back, in that handsome way he always loved.

"Sure I do, my Wei... I would marry you any day, anytime and anywhere." Zhao whisper giving his Wei such a deep look, that make him blush.

"I promise Yunlan, you are and will always be my better half, my best friend and my only lover. I will honor you, love you, respect you, care for you, until I can't no more by only death or sickness. My heart belongs to you, as well as my life for you to take it in your hands. I hesitate for so long, yet I was never this sure that you are made for me, as I am made for you, as in this moment, when there is no longer any trace of regret, nor hesitation. We may never had a real wedding, but our bond will be eternal. Zhao Yunlan, you are my beloved and no matter what, you will have for as long as you wish me, my eternal love." Zhao actually, try to fight happy tear, but hearing his Wei said such a vow, they fall down on their own accord.

"Ah, my Wei... I thought of something on my way here, but... I could never surpass yours. However..." He came closer to his lover and gently hug him and whisper to his ear. "I promise with all my heart that I will always love you, protect you, be there for you always no matter the adversity and hopefully sharing our greatest happiness. I will listen, stay by your side when things are rough and hold you every time you are in need of friend and more so every night, as we go to sleep, so you can feel the way I love you, whatever our passion burns or we simply enjoy having our other half close. I will help and care for you anytime you need me and you already know that my heart had only one name writing over it, my Wei... my beloved Shen Wei, I belong to you as well... I can't possibly love you more than now..." Shen sobbed, yet he smiled with happiness before Zhao claimed his right to kiss the bride.

"Wait... Yunlan... I bought rings..." Shen said, as Zhao keep his passionate kiss.

"I know... I saw the boxes..." Zhao said, a while after. Then he reluctantly moved to take the two boxes. He was once again surprised at the engraved message of the two titanium black rings. 'I'm my beloved's and my beloved is mine' Wei for Zhao and Yunlan for Shen.

"Like it?" Shen asked, hopefully, then Zhao kiss him senseless, which was even more convincing than any word. Then, after the long kiss, Shen put Yunlan's ring on his finger and so did Zhao. After that, they had their wedding dinner and toast, for their joined happiness.

What came after, was more than obvious, even if Shen could still have not sex, by doctor's recommendation, however, topping Yunlan in their first time, make it easier for the wounded professor, who could never had imagine, sharing his life with another man was going to be that wonderful.
