[ mo ran has to do his best not to smile too brightly while chu wanning picks his words, in case he'd risk to offend the man while he's talking to him so earnestly. but chu wanning is being so adorable, listing the qualities of the person he should be with, while clearly fighting something all too akin to jealousy and mo ran is reminded of last night, how he pretended he was going to meet someone just to make the younger man possessive. it makes his heart swell to know that chu wanning would be jealous of him at all. also, the petting to his head feels sweet and warm and, exactly like the puppy he is, mo ran softens into it. eventually he can't try to hide his adoration as he looks at the older man anymore.

when those three words are spoken though, paired with his name, mo ran's eyes widen, shock clear on his features. did he hear that right? is there any chance he's still sleeping and just dreaming of this? he never thought a day like this would come. for chu wanning not only to let mo ran stay by his side, but for him to even return his feelings --speaking of love, even.

mo ran would eat him up right now, because he looks so beautiful, flushed and with reddened eyes, the way they always do whenever chu wanning is dealing with a strong emotion, always betraying him.

mo ran's hand shoots to his face, holds onto his jaw to turn it towards him, and he kisses him, pouring all his feelings into it, hoping chu wanning can taste them as he licks into his mouth. ]

Wanning. [ he calls, almost desperate, just to kiss him again and he only pulls back when they're both breathless. he noses at his cheek and his neck then, as if to soothe his blush. ]

Wanning, I don't want to be with anyone else. I love you, you're the only one I think about, day and night. [ he hugs him with both arms, pulls him closer. ]

I'm sorry... for making things difficult for you. But we belong together. You felt it too last night, didn't you?
