Han Wenqing usually found the purely commercial Alliance events very annoying, but when Tyranny arrived to their stadium to meet Excellent Era for a friendly, unofficial match as part of a Christmas event - although how friendly the Alliance wanted it considering their choice of teams was rather questionable - and Ye Xiu smiled at him in greeting, he found himself quite happy to be attending this one.
"Old Han," Ye Xiu called out, separating from his team to approach him, his smile growing wider.
"What?" Han Wenqing asked in lieu of a greeting, suspicious of the grin.
Ye Xiu did not even blink at the question or his harsh tone, instead grabbing his arm and steering him slightly away from his team, his hand stroking over Han Wenqing's bicep. Once they were out of easy ear shot, Ye Xiu stepped in close, keeping barely a few inches between them.
"Well, it's almost Christmas you know, so I wanted to give you your gift," Ye Xiu said, smiling up at Han Wenqing innocently like he did not just grope him in full view of both their teams.
"You're not carrying anything," Han Wenqing frowned, looking him up or down. His pockets were flat too, unless the gift was a Glory account card, which Han Wenqing would not put past him, he couldn't have it in his jacket either.
Ye Xiu's lips twisted slightly, turning his guileless smile into a smirk with all sorts of things hidden behind it and his hands went up to the high collar of his team uniform. Han Wenqing watched him unbuckle the side straps and then unzip it down to the sternum, and his mouth went dry.
Ye Xiu was quite clearly not wearing anything under it. Han Wenqing had a clear view of almost half his chest, although his nipples were, unfortunately (and surely on purpose), still hidden by the jacket, there was still a lot of skin to admire. There was also a red ribbon looped twice around Ye Xiu's pale neck, a big bow resting on his collarbones.
Han Wenqing's fingers twitched, wanting to touch, but he managed to stop his traitorous hands from rising and touching. The movement did not escape Ye Xiu's eyes however and his smirk grew even more pronounced, as he casually zipped his jacket back up and leaned in closer until Han Wenqing could feel his breath on his neck.
"Yes, I am," Ye Xiu whispered into his ear, patted his arm again and sauntered off back to his team.
That bastard.
Ye Xiu kept acting in a similar, deliberate, annoying fashion throughout the match, no matter how much Han Wenqing tried to engage him, the slippery asshole kept slithering past him, attacking only his teammates and refused to meet him at any point. The rest of Excellent Era, with a singular exception of Su Mucheng, as was usual for them since the past season was a complete mess, with no coordination, each member trying to outdo the others in showiness with no substance behind any of it. It was usually a lot less obvious in official matches, with Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng playing cover-up, but neither of them seemed to be interested in making up for their teammates this time - Ye Xiu doing his utmost to frustrate Han Wenqing into an early grave and Su Mucheng gleefully and recklessly bothering Zhang Xinjie for no strategic reason anyone in Tyranny could see.
The match ended in Tyranny's victory, with 3 people left alive while only Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng remained on the other side. In an official match, things would have been far from over - Ye Xiu has won even championship matches with less health - but the event was timed to broadcasting schedules, and they were more interested in interviewing the players than seeing them play, so before Han Wenqing could hunt the bastard down and beat him up he had to go on the stage and try not to scowl at the host too much. By the covert tugs at his sleeve from his vice-captain, he didn't do terribly well.
"Captain?" Zhang Xinjie asked when they were walking back to their dressing room.
"There you are," Ye Xiu appeared suddenly out of nowhere, stopping Han Wenqing's false assurance of being fine, and strolling over like it was his fucking stadium with a smirk on his face, "Good game. That was quite an interesting move, Xinjie, did you-"
"You," Han Wenqing interrupted, very done with whatever game Ye Xiu was playing here. "Come with me."
He grabbed Ye Xiu's arm and dragged him away, looking for a quiet place to kick- talk to him. He was too impatient to look far and pulled Ye Xiu into the first storage room they found, pushing him against the shelves.
"My, so rough, Old Han."
Han Wenqing's frown deepened. "Shut up. What the hell was that game?"
Ye Xiu's smirk did not waver at being thrown around and scowled at, merely leaning back into the rack. "Worked you up, did it?"
That little punk. Han Wenqing decided responding in words was just going to be a waste of breath on this bastard so instead, he took half a step forward to press his body to Ye Xiu's and kiss the annoying grin off his lips. Ye Xiu responded eagerly, even putting his arms around his neck and stroking his fingers through Han Wenqing's hair.
When they separated, Ye Xiu bumped their noses together and asked, "Want to unwrap your gift now, Old Han?"
Han Wenqing dipped two of his fingers into the large collar of Excellent Era's uniform to stroke the silk of the ribbon wound around Ye Xiu's neck. "How shameless can you be? We're in a storage closet, Ye Xiu, and our teams are waiting for us."
"If you want to turn me down, Wenqing, getting your hands close to my neck and using the right name isn't the best way," Ye Xiu smiled at him, then took out a plastic key card from his jacket. "We can be in my hotel room in five minutes if you text Xinjie right now that we're leaving early. Considering Mucheng's plans for today he might not even notice you've been gone, you know."
Han Wenqing did not know, but from what he heard about Su Mucheng he wasn't sure if he should pity Zhang Xinjie or congratulate him when he saw him at training the next day. He still got his phone out and texted his vice-captain, before tugging Ye Xiu from the storage room and following him to his hotel to see his gift.
As soon as they got into the room, Han Wenqing pushed Ye Xiu against the wall and kissed him again. Ye Xiu pushed back and, continuing the kiss, walked Han Wenqing backwards to the bed, making him sit on it and then climbing onto his lap.
"Ready for your gift, Wenqing?" Ye Xiu smiled, undoing the side straps on his collar and reaching for the zipper.
Han Wenqing stopped his hands, "It's my gift and I don't get to unwrap it?"
Ye Xiu stared at him for a second and then laughed and raised his hands in surrender, moving them to Han Wenqing's shoulders. Han Wenqing unzipped it slowly, stopping for a little bit after he got the collar down to admire the red silk of the ribbon against Ye Xiu's pale skin, before continuing on. He spread the jacket open to see Ye Xiu's whole chest and froze.
There were two red bows on Ye Xiu's nipples, the ends of the ribbons falling just below his ribs. Han Wenqing touched one bow carefully, the silk was not attached to flesh but a small disk which in turn seemed to be glued to Ye Xiu's body.
"Careful," Ye Xiu said. "They're just glued on, so they might come off if you pull them."
Han Wenqing grunted in acknowledgement and continued to touch around the bow, checking Ye Xiu's skin.
"Does it hurt?" he asked, unsure if it was safe for him to explore more.
Ye Xiu snorted. "No," he replied and then sighed. "I wanted to wear clamps but there was no way I could have kept them on through the entire match even if they're fun."
Han Wenqing, tugging carefully at a loop of one of the bows, stopped and looked up at Ye Xiu. "Fun?"
Ye Xiu's lips turned up in a smirk and he leaned forward, carding his fingers through Han Wenqing's hair. "Well, I had fun with them last week at least."
Han Wenqing kept still, trying to picture it in his mind - Ye Xiu flushed, the cold metal surrounding his nipples, one hand wrapped around his cock, the long fingers of the other pumping in and out-
"Are you thinking about it?" Ye Xiu's voice interrupted him. When Han Wenqing nodded, he laughed and pressed their foreheads together, "Next time you come over after a match I'll show you."
"I'm keeping you to that," Han Wenqing said, tapping one of the nipple bows again and unzipping the jacket to the end and taking it off Ye Xiu, then pulling him closer so he could put his lips to his skin more easily.
He pressed a kiss to Ye Xiu's pulse point first and slowly moved down, kissing his way to his collarbones and shoulders, moving the bow out of the way with his nose so he could pay attention to every inch of him. He continued to kiss every bit he could reach, his hands caressing Ye Xiu's bare back, one arm snaking around his thin waist.
Ye Xiu laughed breathlessly above him, one hand remaining in Han Wenqing's hair and one stroking his nape, "Wenqing, aren't you going too fast? You haven't finished unwrapping your gift yet."
Han Wenqing gave the skin above Ye Xiu's right nipple one last lick and then looked up at the smiling demon and obediently reached for the ribbon around his neck. But his hand was caught before he even managed to touch the silk.
"Nope," Ye Xiu grinned. "You have to go in order and find all the ribbons first."
Han Wenqing blinked. His eyes flicked down to the remaining, clothed, half of Ye Xiu's body, then back to laughing Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu opened his mouth, most likely to tease again, but he didn't give him a chance, lifting Ye Xiu up and flipping them over, putting Ye Xiu flat on the bed and leaning over him.
Ye Xiu laughed again when he hit the bed, but cooperated without a word when Han Wenqing hooked his fingers into his waistband, lifting his hips from the covers. Han Wenqing tugged his pants down a little, revealing his cock and swallowed heavily at the sight.
It was bound in the same ribbon Ye Xiu used above, the red silk wound from the bottom to the top, another bow resting by the cockhead. It was tied a little loosely, with good foresight from a master tactician, as the ribbon got tighter as Ye Xiu got harder under Han Wenqing's gaze.
He touched the ribbon, sliding his finger from the hilt to the top, pressing slightly into a damp patch of silk where Ye Xiu's precum leaked out onto the fabric. He wanted to lean down and lick at the exposed head but Ye Xiu, once more reading his mind, prevented him, "You still need to find more ribbons before you can play, Wenqing."
Han Wenqing dragged his pants a little lower and, as expected, found another ribbon looped around Ye Xiu's balls, the bow resting below his cock and the tails of ribbon disappearing between his legs. With an idea of what was waiting for him there, Han Wenqing took Ye Xiu's pants and underwear off in quick moves, finding yet another ribbon tied in the middle of his left thigh.
Ye Xiu was watching him, his eyes twinkling with humour but his gaze molten in a way that heated Han Wenqing's blood every time even this long after they first met, "One more, Wenqing."
Han Wenqing lifted one of Ye Xiu's long legs and pressed a kiss to the inside of his thigh, right above the ribbon, then spread his legs to see the last ribbon. It was connected to the bow on his balls, the ends disappearing into Ye Xiu's body, tied around the neck of the black plug inside him, the reminder knotted into a bow around the base, the red silk an even more startling difference to Ye Xiu's pale skin when connected with the black plastic spreading him open.
Swallowing hard once more, Han Wenqing traced a finger on the stretched skin of Ye Xiu's rim touching the ribbon, bumping into the plug and eliciting a pleased hum from Ye Xiu. His eyes were still focused on Han Wenqing with sharp intensity, but they softened as he smiled gently at him when their gazes met.
"Merry Christmas, Wenqing. Do you like your gift?"
Han Wenqing dropped Ye Xiu's legs, letting them fall around his thighs, and surged up to mesh their mouths together. Without stopping the kiss, Han Wenqing reached down to play with the plug, twisting it slightly then pulling it out and pushing it back in, swallowing down the moan Ye Xiu let out. He wanted to pull at it again but Ye Xiu kicked his back once and broke the kiss.
"None of that, Wenqing. You have to unwrap your gift before you can use it."
Han Wenqing tapped on the base of the plug a few times, making Ye Xiu gasp and then kick him again in reproach. Ye Xiu obviously had a plan of action in mind, but going against Ye Xiu was almost a career at this point. And it was his gift, wasn't it.
"I'm actually more of a type to rip the wrapping open to see the gift straight away," he told Ye Xiu and tugged the plug fully out, gathering up the lube leftover on it and pushing three fingers into the loosened hole.
"Wen- Fuck-"
Han Wenqing interrupted by kissing him hard and twisting his fingers pressing against Ye Xiu's prostate. He pumped his fingers in and out, stretching Ye Xiu more, and reached his other hand to untie the ribbon around Ye Xiu's cock, worried it would tighten too much once he got fully hard. He left the silk bunched up loosely at the base and then slipped off the loop around Ye Xiu's balls so he could move the plug out of the way.
Ye Xiu laughed breathlessly and carded his fingers through Han Wenqing's hair, "I suppose I can count this unwrapping, even if you didn't get all of them."
Han Wenqing dipped his head and pulled on the ribbon attached to one nipple with his teeth until the bow unravelled and a little more to stretch the nipple and make Ye Xiu hiss. Then he pressed his lips to Ye Xiu's jaw in comfort. "That's half. And we've got a lot of time."
"Mhm," Ye Xiu hummed in agreement, tightening his hand in Han Wenqing's short hair and dragging his head closer so he could kiss him. "You know, although we do have time, I wore that plug so we could spend it doing better things than just using your fingers."
"Don't you like my fingers?" Han Wenqing asked, crooking two and eliciting another moan.
"I like a lot of parts of you," Ye Xiu replied, sliding his hands down from Han Wenqing's hair and shoulder to the front, fingers tracing the defined muscles of his chest and then working their way into his pants, wrapping around his cock. "But right now, I have a bit of a preference."
Even in an awkward position like this, pressed to the bed under Han Wenqing's body and without being able to see what he was doing, Ye Xiu's fingers were stupidly talented, additionally helped by him murmuring Han Wenqing's name into his ear and kissing his jaw.
"If you want me to last inside you for more than a minute, stop it," Han Wenqing panted out, strengthening his hold on Ye Xiu's wrist and dragging on of his hands away.
Ye Xiu, helpfully, used the other to lower his pants and take his cock fully out and then wrapped his arms around Han Wenqing's neck and smirked. Honestly, why was he even in love with this asshole, Han Wenqing wondered pressing their lips together and pushing his tongue into his mouth as he took his fingers out of Ye Xiu's body, smeared the lube covering them onto his cock and pressed into the prepared hole.
The next day, for the first time since they've been together, Han Wenqing got woken up with a kiss and a whispered "Wenqing" rather than his keyboard being dumped on his head and wild boss coordinates yelled from in front of a laptop.
"Wenqing, wake up," Ye Xiu said, patting Han Wenqing's head as he buried his face in the pillow. "It's Christmas Day, I want to do something."
"Since when do you care about Christmas outside of the game event?" Han Wenqing mumbled, squinting at him.
"Wenqing," Ye Xiu coaxed again, combing his fingers through his hair. "Come on."
Han Wenqing sighed but in the end sat up, rubbing at his face, "Alright, what?"
Ye Xiu pulled on his arm dragging him out of bed and into the adjoining sitting area. Why was this unhealthy twig so chirpy in the morning, when he was too spent to even wrap his arms around Han Wenqing's neck when he wanted to carry him to the bathroom after they were done the previous night. He never saw Ye Xiu get out of bed for anything other than Glory, what did he-
Finally seeing what it was Ye Xiu wanted, really explained why the asshole was so energetic. Han Wenqing had truly horrible taste in men.
