Not Inconsequential

PREVIOUSLY:

(Kim Mitzuki's P.O.V.) "That's what he just said, you idiot!" Jinhong Eijirou exclaimed. The put-out look on Suga's face from being in the middle of a group hug made me giggle in spite of the trouble happening around us. I looked at Eijirou at grinned, feeling a little more confident than I had only a few hours ago I awkwardly tugged his hair. His pretty lips curving upwards seem to bring extra brightness to the room, and his words made Lan Sizhui grin at Jin Rulan. I looked at Suga apologetically and mouthed 'sorry', he just smiled his beautiful smile and squeezed me a little tighter.

One Week Later at the Wàng Jī Lǚdiàn

3rd Person's P.O.V.

Who knew that when Mitzuki and Suga confessed their feelings it would lead to the game of cat-and-mouse that was currently being played from Qīpiàn City; the ex-boyfriend, the new players he'd hired and anyone else who'd heard about the bounty were chasing after Kim Mitzuki. Lan Wuxian had lodged the paperwork with the Federal Police for pressing charges against Izuka Yang and ever since then suspicious people had started visiting Lotus Lakes and Wàng Jī Lǚdiàn had more traffic in their restaurant than they would usually have at this time of year - or any time of year.

The Lan's were especially concerned after Lan Wuxian 'accidentally overheard' a conversation between guests which implied they were looking to seriously harm one of their adopted sons and on the second day they sent away the light brunette with the mint haired man as his exclusive bodyguard to their private retreat near Gusu.

Nobody would have been able to trace the residence back to the Lan's if they tried as it was under Lan Sizhui's name (Wen Yuan) so any of them were able to relax and retreat in peace between times when the family can't return to Gusu due to time or travel restrictions. Lan Zhan had designed the cabin to look just like the Jingshi in GusuLan.

A grin spread on Lan Wuxian's face as he called the untraceable number his husband had given the two 'boys' before being sent off a week ago. Lan Wuxian let out a gentle sigh, running his fingers through his hair, 'I am so lucky my husband is indeed wonderful,' he thought to himself as he waited for the line to connect to the burner at the cabin.

**LWx = Lan Wuxian, MSg= Min Suga, KMz= Kim Mitzuki**

MSg: "H'lo?" the husky voice answering sounded like he'd just woken up or something.

LWx: "Ah, it's you, good! Is the kid around? I have news-" the Lan started to speak but was interrupted rudely.

MSg: "Lan?"

LWx: "Ah, yes yes yes, it's me," Lan Wuxian asked Suga again if Kim was around.

MSg: "Uh, no, but I can get him if-"

LWx: "NO!" The black haired male paced as he yelled the word, then, lowering his volume he repeated,

LWx: "Shit, sorry. No. Don't get him. As his bodyguard I'm letting you know there are more people who came from Qīpiàn City today, bringing the total to eleven, so we don't want you to come home yet, okay? Just enjoy your time and don't forget to spend time at the cold springs and get the kid to show you the waterfall."

KMz (whining loudly in the background): "Ba-abe you're gonna miss the movie! Did you fall down the dunny or get lost out there or somethings?" Lan Wuxian laughed loudly when his and Lan Zhan's youngest son called out from somewhere in the house, earning a growl from the appointed bodyguard. A muffled response came as Suga covered the mouthpiece when he yelled back.

LWx: "I'll let you go. If you need anything just let us know and don't forget to use the stuff in the bottom drawer of either of the bedside tables - be safe kiddies!" He laughed louder as the mint haired male creatively cursed into the phone and he promised to call back in a few days to check in with them.

The pair didn't speak for much longer though they did discuss how long Suga and the brunette should stay away for. They agreed after one more week that he'd bring them back to Wàng Jī unless they got another call to say not to come back.

With a smile on his face but a sliver of fear in hi heart, Lan Wuxian hung up and made his way to the bar downstairs seeking his husband to let him know both their boys were safe and sound for now. They had business to take care of. He would protect his family this time, he would not fail this family.

Retreat Cabin two hours from Wàng Jī

Min Suga's P.O.V.

"Mitz, baby, that was Lan Wuxian, he called to let us know that we need to stay away for another week. They'll call back if we need to stay gone longer than that."

I rubbed circles into the brunette's back, helping him to relax after the panic attack he'd had earlier. He'd had several attacks since we'd been here and each one seemed to be a little worse than the last.

"You know you can talk to me my winter bear. It's not healthy to keep shit bottled up inside because all it does to you is make you feel worse than you already do and you have another panic attack. You are enough. You don't have to be brave or macho in front of me, it is okay to open up to me Mitzu. Please talk to me."

I tried again to get him to share his worries with me to try and ease his mind. His response was to squeeze the pillow tighter and shake his head.

"Nuh-uh. Don't wanna, too scary." His voice hoarse from crying mumbled half into the pillow. I sighed and I lay down beside him, one hand continuing to rub his back. Unable to help myself I placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Chocolate orbs lifted to meet my own.

"Just... Why?" The word hung in the air.

"Why what kid?" My reply caused a crease to appear between his eyebrows.

"Why are you helping me?" His eyes glossed up and threatened to spill over.

"That's stupid," my response caused his tears to fall and I gathered him as close to me as I could bring him,

"Hey, don't cry! I'm not saying you're stupid baby, I mean the question is.. It's because I.. I'm i-in love with you. I told you already." I stumbled over the last part still uncertain of expressing my feelings openly. Afraid that if I did, Izuka would take away the last thing that held meaning for me.

I know he'd said he felt the same but I didn't know for sure since the stunning male in my arms had barely looked at me straight for the last five days. To have to spend another seven or eight days here with him ignoring me as if I really was only a bodyguard was one hell of a way to show how much he really cares as much as he claims to. I felt him nuzzle his face into my neck as he wriggled his body closer to mine and smiled, I kissed his forehead.

I had to try and avoid thinking of the lithe frame who was pressed so close to my body that there was no space between us. The heat we generated made my face flush an embarrassing colour, I felt my body reacting to the thoughts lurking in the back of my mind and it was as if my fantasies were, in part, being recreated unknowingly by the cute male in my arms.

I tried to think of other things so he wouldn't feel the stiffening length in my boxers. I unsuccessfully try to stifle a moan which is caused by him wedging his thigh between my own and rubbing firmly against my erection. He looks up at me with a glint of mischief in his chocolate orbs which catch and hold my gaze as he very deliberately rubs himself against me, watching my reactions.

My eyes flutter closed and I groan - this is going to be a very long stay. I feel the barest whisper of breath graze my ear, a quick shiver of delight races to my cock.

"Min Yoon Gi. I am also in love with you." His words are followed by his tongue teasing my earlobe, an erogenous spot known by only one other person. Another unbidden moan slips from my throat while a shudder I know he feels makes me shake.

"Fuck me Mitzuki." The words slip out breathlessly and unbidden.
