Synopsis: Tao is a dedicated employee of an advertising company living a routinary life until his sexy new neighbor moves next door and turns his life upside down.
Disclaimer: Own no one but the story. I would like Yifan to own me.
[01] [02] Tao has lived in that apartment building for nearly three years ever since he started working as the executive accounts manager in one of the biggest advertising companies in Shanghai at the moment. He takes pride that at the age of 25, he's climbed his way to the top all the way from the bottom as an intern running around making coffee for everyone.
He lives in a routine. He wakes up at 4:30 am, takes a quick jog around the block, showers at 5:15 am, and leaves for work at 6:30. He orders the sandwich of the day and a venti cappucino from the coffeeshop across the building and he'll be on his desk at exactly 7:30 am - half an hour early for work. As always. For three years straight.
"You're early." Yixing greets him and Tao fixes his glasses before looking at his officemate, "i have never been late. You know that. You and I have been working together for almost two years, Yixing-ge."
Yixing chuckles and sits on his chair next to Tao, "Well, that's true. Would it be surprising if you're late for once?"
"Totally surprising because it will never happen."
"Never say never, Taozi."
"Please refrain from calling me that."
Yixing laughs and turns on his chair while Tao looks on worriedly. He wonders how this person - with his perpetual forgetfulness - ended up as the head copywriter of their company. Not that he questions his talent, most of the time he questions his sanity. Like today.
"Yo, Taozi, would you eat an insect?"
"No. Why would I?"
"Even if it tastes like Nutella?"
"Still no."
"I would."
"Then indulge yourself."
"Honey, you're being crazy again." Joonmyeon coos at Yixing. He's the CEO's personal secretary and Yixing's Korean boyfriend. "As for you, young man, you know he is running on caffeine, stop wondering about his sanity already."
"You know that watching him is the only pleasure i have in life." Tao answers monotonously and Joonmyeon laughs, "Oh, Zitao. You should go out and date. You are young and handsome. I'm sure there are girls here in the office wishing to date you."
"Hyung, you know I'm gay."
"Pfft!" Yixing almost chokes on his own saliva while he laughs, "You're gay. Man. Are you sure? Because isn't gay equivalent to happy? I've never seen you happy."
"I am happy. Thank you very much."
"With that face?" Yixing asks and Tao grabs a ruler. Joonmyeon stops the youngest, "It is quite early to commit murder. Come on. Let us all go back to work."
He goes on with his schedule, having client meetings in the mornings that can stretch on until lunch or until the whole day. He leaves the office at 6 in the evening and orders a takeout on his way back to his apartment. He eats in front of the TV, takes a power walk around the block, showers, and heads to bed at 9 pm.
Tomorrow it will all be the same. Nothing will change and Tao wouldn't have it any other way.
-----
Except it isn't the same.
Not that he thinks that anything major is going to happen when he chanced upon a moving truck parked outside the building on his way to work. It's an apartment building and new tenants will always come. Tao shrugs it off and gets on his car to drive to work.
As always, aside from the meetings he attended and wondering about Yixing's sanity, nothing's really changed with Tao's routine. He gets home without much care in the world and proceeds to buying his takeout for dinner and then takes a power walk after. What almost seems like an ordinary day - night, for this matter - changes when Tao crashes against another person who suddenly bursts out of the apartment next door. "FUCK OFF YIFAN!" said person screams before walking away. Tao ignores said confrontation and moves on with his life.
Only this time he wakes up at 2AM with dusts falling on his face. He wakes up in horror to find a drill still rotating on his wall. He checks his clock in disbelief because he can't deal with missing 2 hours more of his sleep. He stands on his bed and looks scornfully at the hole on the wall and he grits his teeth in anger before leaping off his bed and running to the apartment next door - nevermind his disshelved hair and his bright yellow pajamas.
He knocks angrily at the door and it takes about a minute or so before the door opens and he's greeted by loud rock music blaring inside tne apartment. Tao, in his sleep-deprived state, starts lashing out on the guy who opens the door without even getting a good look on his new neighbor.
"You asshole! You just drilled a hole on my bedroom wall! People are trying to sleep!!!"
"Sorry about that, sunshine."
Tao is surprised with how deep and how sensual that voice is and when he looks up, he couldn't hide his surprise by finally taking in all of the other guy's appearance. The said guy is just a few inches taller than him and currently missing a shirt. He can see a dragon tattoo on his chest all the way to his right arm, there's also some text tattoo on his left rib, and god damn, this guy has a nipple ring. His hair is tied in a messy pony tail and Tao is at a loss for words with just how fucking gorgeous his new neighbor is.
"Y-you...!" Tao stutters and the other guy smirks, "You were saying, sunshine?"
Tao decides to keep his resolve and glares at the other guy, "LISTEN TO ME, YOU ASSHOLE! IT'S FUCKING 2AM AND YOU DRILLED A HOLE ON MY WALL!"
The other male pulls Tao close by the waist and the younger yelps, "The fuck are you doing?!"
"Sorry sunshine. Didn't mean that." The brunet whispers before pulling Tao into a kiss. Tao immediately pushes the other and punches his face, "Fuck you!" Tao screams before running back to his apartment in utter embarrassment.
----
"What happened to you?" Yixing asks when he finds Tao slumped on his desk. Tao doesn't bother looking up and dismisses Yixing with a hand. Joonmyeon walks in with cups of coffee and hands Yixing one, "He said he woke up TO a nightmare at 2AM and never got back to sleep." The Korean explains to his boyfriend before turning back to Tao, "Here's your coffee, sunshine."
"Don't call me that!" Tao tells Joonmyeon before grabbing his coffee, "I swear I am going to rip that asshole's guts when I see him again!"
"There, there. Oh. Tao, how's it going with the ad campaign for Alexandria? Isn't that clothing brand one of our biggest clients this month?"
"Don't remind me. That brand is a pain. They insist on getting that hot new photographer for the campaign. You know Kris Wu?"
"I've heard of him." Yixing tells them, "Heard he only works with people he likes, no matter how much you offer him, he will refuse you if he hates you."
"But i talked to his secretary yesterday and he told me that Kris and his assistant already left Guangzhou and is here in Shanghai already. I'm gonna call him again later to see if I can set up a meeting with him."
"Good luck on that." Joommyeon pats his shoulder before going back to his own table.
Tao calls Kris Wu's secretary and he gets the assistant's number. Tao learns that his assistant - Chen - is currently staying in a hotel without Kris because his boss decided to be a dickhead about the meeting. Chen tells Tao to give him at least two more days to convince his boss about the campaign. Tao hangs up the phone in utter frustration and Joonmyeon is quick to comfort him.
"What did his assistant tell you?"
Tao rips his hair out and bangs his head on his desk, "Chen said Kris was supposed to go on a meeting with me already but when they arrived yesterday, Kris dropped the bomb and told him Kris is permanently moving here in Shanghai and he really wants to get settled first in the city. He asked Chen to drop all clients and potential clients from this month until the next." Tao mocks cries on his desk, "What do i do?! If I don't give Alexandria an answer by next week, they might cancel their campaign with us and we are gonna lose tons of money."
"Just hire somebody else and let them pretend it's Kris Wu." Yixing suggests and Joonmyeon is fast enough to get his boyfriend out of the way when a mechanical pencil misses his eye.
Tao goes home feeling more exhausted an ever. He doesn't even stop by for his usual dinner takeout and just walks like a zombie back to his apartment. He stops on top of the stairs and just heaves to even his breathing because his new annoying neighbor is out of his room and smoking against the railing of their building's balcony. Somehow Tao hates the fact that he lives on the 4th floor of this building and is occupying the 3rd room from the stairs and this asshole occupies the 2nd which means he will always have to walk past this prick's apartment before getting home. Which sucks so much, if he's being very honest.
Tao rolls his eyes and decides to completely ignore his neighbor and walks behind him. "No greetings or even dimsum for the new neighbor, sunshine?" His new neighbor asks before turning his body to face him.
"Go fuck yourself."
His neighbor smirks at him and leans his elbows against the railings, "You have a dirty mouth." The long-haired boy blows smoke from his cigarette and Tao wrinkles his nose in annoyance, "I think it"s sexy, sunshine."
"First of all, my name is not sunshine. Second, STOP TALKING TO ME. I am not interested with a person like you so let us ignore each other. That would be better!"
The taller male laughs and throws his cigarette to the ground before crushing it with the sole of his slipper, "Will you at least tell me your name?"
"It's Huang Zitao." Tao frowns and proceeds to walk to his apartment. He is about to enter his apartment when his neighbor shouts after him, "I'm Yifan! You can also call me K-!" Tao closes his door even before his new neighbor can finish his sentence.
-----
Tao fidgets on his seat and Yixing just can't handle it anymore. "Are you constipated? I have some meds here if you really need one." Tao glares at Yixing and the other male rolls his chair away, "I was just asking..."
"I am not constipated. I am just stressed with Jia's email. She said that they need our answer if we can get Kris Wu by Friday and it's already a Wednesday and I get Chen's response tomorrow and that's it. I am gonna commit suicide."
"You won't get to heaven that way!"
"If I murder you first and then I kill myself, will I get to heaven? Negative and negative equals positive, right?"
Yixing ponders the thought, "That makes me think. How do we know you get to heaven though?"
Tao screams internally and grabs a cutter, "Should we find out now?"
"There will be no bloodshed in this office." Joonmyeon steps in and takes the cutter in Tao's hands, "Everything will be fine."
"Nothing is fine!" Tao argues but their conversation is cut off when his phone starts ringing and Chen's name flashes onscreen. Tao immediately takes the call and the couple watches the younger male talk excitedly. Yixing leans closer to his boyfriend and whispers, "Are you God?" Joommyeon only laughs and gives Yixing a kiss on the cheek.
When the call ends, Tao turns to them excitedly and hugs Joonmyeon, "Chen said his boss wants to meet me for dinner tonight. He'll pick me up later and take me to Kris. Oh god, please. I will do anything to save my ass from losing this multi million campaign."
"What if he asks you to sleep with him?" Yixing asks and Tao shrugs, "No problem. I could use a nice lay once in a while."
"Even if he has kinks?" Yixing asks again and Tao smiles, "For this campaign, hell yes!"
HELL TO THE FUCKING NO.
It just cannot be. Tao almost immediately runs out of the restaurant when Chen took him to the table where Kris is waiting and just... NO.
Chen turns to him when they reach the table, "Kris wants to be alone with you and I hope both of you ends with an agreement tonight." Chen is about to leave when Tao grabs his arm, "Please don't leave."
"I have to go. He's nice." Chen removes Tao's hand from his arm and runs out of the restaurant. Tao turns to face Kris who is mischievously grinning at him. "Hi, sunshine."
Tao grits his teeth and takes the seat across from Kris. "I... I am Huang Zitao, a pleasure to meet you."
"Is it?" Kris crosses his arms over his chest and looks at Tao from head to toe, "You look fucking sexy tonight, sunshine "
"Please be professional about this, Mr. Wu."
"It's Yifan. I already gave you my real name so please use it, Zitao."
A waiter comes and serves them their dinner. Yifan tells Tao to eat first then they will talk about the campaign when they finish. "You know, I cancelled all my clients this month, right?" Yifan starts while waiting for dessert, Tao nods.
"If so, what makes you think I will do this campaign for you?"
Tao drops his fork and stares at Yifan, "Look, Yifan, I am serious about this campaign and I don't have the time to joke around with you. If you have anything in particular that you'd have me... us... do, just tell me."
"Really...?"
"Yes. As long as I am capable of doing it, I will."
Yifan laughs and stays silent when their dessert arrives. He tells Tao to finish eating and he ignores the younger completely. It baffles Tao but he finishes the dessert nonetheless.
Yifan stands from his seat after paying and Tao silently follows him. The long-haired male tells Tao to get inside the car and the latter follows. It wasn't really a long drive and it surprises Tao that they stop in front of their apartment building. Tao follows Yifan quietly and when they reach their floor, Tao turns to Yifan and bows, "Thank you for dinner. I really hope you give me your answer the soonest."
Yifan smirks and grabs Tao by the arm before slamming him against his door, "Who says the night is over, sunshine?" Yifan asks and forcefully kisses Tao. The younger squirms and pushes Yifan away from him, "Please stop!"
Yifan smirks and stares at Tao's, "You said you'd do anything for this campaign, right?"
Tao nods and gasps when Yifan grabs his clothed cock, "Let me do you."
Tao's mind rewinds to the conversation with Yixing and Joonmyeon earlier and he hates how it's really happening now, he tears up because he is now losing whatever pride and dignity he has left for the sake of keeping the ad campaign and getting Kris Wu to work with them.
"You are one door away from a multi million worth of deal, Huang Zitao." Yifan whispers against his ear as the other's hand grabs on Tao's cock a little tighter, "Do... Do you always do this to your... clients...?"
"This isn't the first but it doesn't mean I do this always."
Tao yelps when Yifan lifts him up and slides a leg between his thighs, "You're getting hard and you're still stalling this."
"Will you keep your word?" Tao asks and Yifan smirks again, "I will."
Tao looks left and right and then at the man looking at him, "Are we getting this deal done here or..." Tao's question is cut off in a searing kiss and Yifan struggles to get the door opened. Tao latches himself tighter on Yifan in fear of falling on the floor when they enter the apartment.
Tao doesn't know how fast it happens but next thing he knows is that he's already lost his shirt along the way to the bedroom and he is now lying on a mattress while Yifan removes his shirt. Tao stares wide-eyed to the tattoo on Yifan's chest and it looks like the dragon is staring at him, mocking him that he is sleeping with a guy he barely knows all for the sake of an ad campaign that may not even be worth this trouble at all.
"Like the dragon, sunshine?"
Tao turns his head away from Yifan and shakes his head, "I think it's tacky."
"Whatever you say." Yifan grins before sucking on the soft skin of Tao's exposed neck, Tao squirms and pushes Yifan away, "No hickeys!"
"And why not?"
"I am not yours. You will not mark me."
"You're too sentimental."
"And this is just sex. Stop leaving marks that I will hate seeing everyday until it disappears."
"Fine. Forget the foreplay, then." Yifan immediately pulls Tao's pants and briefs down, he grabs a lube from his dresser and immediately inserts a lubed finger inside Tao's hole. The younger yelps and pushes Yifan away, "YOU'RE HURTING ME!!!"
"Then fucking relax! You're not a virgin, are you?!"
Tao heaves as he stares at Yifan, "But you're hurting me..."
Yifan takes out his finger and starts to rub Tao's hole soothingly, the younger relaxes a little and Yifan starts peppering his chest with kisses. Not before long, Yifan is sucking on Tao's nipple and the younger bites back his moans. He decides he will not give Yifan the pleasure that he is starting to enjoy this kind of sex - rough and raw.
When Yifan inserts his finger inside his entrance again, Tao bites his lower lip, he almost bleeds. Yifan kisses him full on the mouth when he inserts a second finger, and pushes in and out faster and harder. Tao groans and whines and just loses all resolve when he starts moaning wantonly as Yifan's fingers curl inside him and brush against his prostate.
"You're liking this, huh?" Yifan asks as he stares at Tao beneath him, Tao frowns even if his labored breaths give him away. "JUST BE DONE WITH IT!"
Yifan chuckles and removes his fingers from Tao's hole. The photographer removes his pants and boxers before lubing his throbbing cock and pushing it inside Tao's hole hurriedly.
"FUCK. You're tight." Yifan groans as he slams himself in and out of Tao. Tao holds on to Yifan's arms for dear life as the other male fucks him senseless. "Yifan... fuck..."
"Touch yourself. Cum with me." Yifan commands and Tao snakes his hand in between their stomachs to pump his own cock. Yifan goes faster and Tao arches his back before releasing in his hand and between their stomachs. Yifan pulls Tao up and kisses him hungrily on the mouth. Tao straddles Yifan while the other keeps thrusting in him, "Fuck Yifan... cum already..."
"You are an amazing fuck..." Yifan whispers before thrusting one hard and deep thrust. Tao embraces Yifan by the neck when he feels the other's warm cum fill him up inside.
They're both trying to catch their breaths before Tao tries to stand but Yifan pulls him back down, "Where are you going?"
"Home. If you forgot, I live next to you."
"Back with that sassy mouth of yours, huh?"
"Fuck off."
Yifan lights a cigarette and watches Tao looking for his clothes. Tao doesn't even say goodbye before he runs out of Yifan's apartment. Tao immediately runs to the shower and starts cleaning himself until it hurts. He gets out of the shower in exhaustion and falls asleep immediately when his body hits the bed.
