Work Text:
Guanheng is who you would call, a hard worker.
He has not missed a single day of work. Though in his line of work it is not possible to skip a day according to himself
Guanheng sits at a desk in his office, eyes trained on a computer in front of him. There are a bunch of paper documents laid out all over the desk and he lets out a sigh as he looks at the time on the bottom corner of the computer, it is well past 11 pm and there is still a lot more he has to get done
Guanheng is a family law attorney and he is currently working on a divorce case. The male has been in his office everyday of the week for a few months until late at night working to finalise and get through with the case, but it hasn't been a smooth journey as problems kept popping up and Guanheng was just about ready to finish the case
As Guanheng lays back in his chair he hears a knock on the door to his office before the door slowly creaks open and footsteps echo in the room. The male in the chair turns his head to see who had entered and meets eyes with another male
“Heng what are you still doing in here?”, the male asks, walking closer to the desk and sitting down on a chair opposite Guanheng.
“I still have a long way to go with finishing these documents so I needed the extra hours”, Guanheng responds sitting up to look at the other better “What are you doing here so late Dejun?”, he then asks Dejun who shrugs and slouches back into the seat “Same reason as you”, Dejun responds looking around Guanhengs office space
Xiao Dejun was Guanhengs best friend as he liked to say. They became friends a few years ago when Guanheng first walked into this office building filled with different types of lawyers, Dejun was the one who guided him through everything there was to know about the place and since then he never left Guanheng alone so naturally they became friends.
“This place is a mess”, Dejun breaks the silence, snapping Guanheng out of his little trance. The man looks around his office and then back at Dejun “I haven't had time to clean”, Guanheng brushes him off and turns back to his computer
Dejun huffs and gets up “let's go”, he then says walking to the door. Guanheng follows after him with his eyes “Go where?”, he asks with his brows furrowed “We're going home, come on”, Dejun answers with his hand on the door handle. Guanheng tilts his head and eyes his computer “I still have to finish here”, Dejun rolls his eyes and walks back to the other “You can do it tomorrow morning now let's go before you sleep here again”, Dejun says as he grabs a hold of Guanhengs arm, pulling it upwards to try and get the male to stand
Guanheng huffs and quickly saves the work on the computer before getting up and grabbing his coat off the side of the chair, there was no point in arguing with Dejun, it was never going to end
“Let's go then”, Guanheng says as he walks to the door.
They two men exit the office and Guanheng locks the door before they make their way to the elevator
Once in the elevator Dejun presses the underground floor and on the way down he tells Guanheng about the "god-awful" meeting he had during the day
The elevator dings as a sign they've arrived at the right floor and the doors slide open. The two males exit and start to walk to where they had parked their cars
“Let's get coffee tomorrow during your break”, Dejun says as they get to their vehicles. Guanheng turns to look at the other and nods “Okay”, he starts before giving Dejun a small smile “See you tomorrow then”, he finishes and walks to the driver side of his car, unlocks and gets in. Dejun does the same before driving off first but not before shouting “Drive safe Heng!”, out of his window. Guanheng smiles to himself before driving off as well.
The next day Guanheng arrives at the office at around just after 6 am, he immediately sits down at his desk and gets to work, ignoring the mess of papers he had left last night
Immersed in his work he doesn't notice the time go by and gets startled by a loud knock on his office door. The person doesn't wait for a word to be said and enters the room, shoes clack against the ground and a voice speaks into the quiet of the room “Hello there Guanheng”, Dejun says enthusiastically as he makes himself seen in Guanhengs peripheral view and takes a seat in the chair opposite
Guanheng doesn't take his eyes off the computer screen and acknowledges Dejun with a nod. “Should we go for coffee now?”, Dejun asks, glancing over at the computer that occupies the other. Guanheng stays silent for a bit as his fingers move quickly clicking the keys on the computers keyboard, this causes Dejun to stay quiet for a bit as well before he sighs and shifts in his seat
“Guanheng”, Dejun says, trying to get the others attention. The male doesn't look his way and continues clicking on the computer. Dejun huffs and moves to stand next to Guanheng
“Guanheng, let's go get coffee”, Dejun says slowly as he shakes Guanheng by the shoulder. The male huffs and stops clicking
Guanheng looks up at Dejun “Now?”, he asks the other and watches as Dejun reaches into his bag to search for something “Yes now, I said when it's your break”, Dejun says, smiling in triumph as he finally finds Guanhengs wallet. Guanheng looks at the time on his computer and makes a small noise in the back of his throat, it was currently his break and he hadn't had coffee this morning, plus he had said he would get coffee with Dejun today. Guanheng sighs and gets up, he stretches before following Dejun out the door and into the corridor
“Let's take the stairs to get to the first floor”, Dejun says while looking at Guanheng “You need to stretch your legs a bit”, he finishes while looking Guanheng up and down before walking towards the staircase. Guanheng shakes his head and speeds up to catch up to Dejun before they both make their way down the steps
The two males reach the first floor not long later and make their way to the entrance, Dejun greets reception when he passes by and offers to get them coffee to which they refuse
They step into the chilled air of the outside world and Guanheng lets out a breath as the fresh air hits his face. Luckily the coffee place is right across the office building so there's not much walking to be done. Dejun hooks his arm with Guanhengs and drags him to cross the road quick and in less than two minutes they're walking into the warm sugary smelling coffee shop
“Since we're here we might as well get a few things to nibble on”, Dejun says as they stand to wait in line. Guanheng turns to look at Dejun with his brows furrowed “Sure why not, just get whatever you want since I'm paying”, he says sarcastically to which Dejun turns to him with a big smile on his face “Thank you so much Heng”, he says with fake awe in his tone and Guanheng shakes his head with a sigh and turns to looks away. He hears Dejun laugh beside him and can't help but let a smile make its way onto his face
They get called up next and Dejun places an order, he seems to have gotten coffee for a few of their colleagues and a few desserts to nibble on like he had said. They move to sit by a table as they wait for their order and Dejun talks about his dog at home. Not long later the barista calls one of their names to come and collect their order and Dejun moves fast to go and get them, Guanheng stands as he sees Dejun coming back and takes some of the things in his hand to help carry.
They walk back across the street to the office building and Dejun gives their colleagues their respective coffee orders before following Guanheng to his office so they can have their coffee and treats together
The week passes by quickly to Guanheng and he discovered that he was able to get a lot of the work done. He figures he could go home a little earlier today since he didn't have much left to do on the case and starts to pack away the scattered documents to make his office space a bit neater
Once finished he grabs his things and makes his way down to the ground floor
In the elevator ride Guanheng thinks about his day and wonders why he barely saw Dejun but then quickly discards that thought thinking that Dejun has just been busy, he can give him a call anyways
The elevator door dings and the doors slide open and Guanheng walks to where he parked his car, he juggles the thought of having a few glasses of whiskey when he gets home and nods to himself at the thought, that's exactly what he's going to do when he gets home, he decides
Guanheng makes it to his car and unlocks it but before he can get inside the vehicle he hears someone shout his name “Heng!”, the voice echos and he turns to look around but stops when he sees a familiar silhouette running towards him, it's Dejun
Dejun comes to a complete stop in front of Guanheng and bends to catch his breath, Guanheng turns his body to fully face the heaving male and waited until he caught his breath. Not long later Dejun stands up straight and gives Guanheng a smile “Hi there”, he says with a cheeky tone. Guanheng smiles back and leans against his car “Well I haven't seen you all day”, he responds and Dejun flicks a strand hair away from his face “I've been a bit busy”, he starts faking a pout “But if I had known you'd miss me so much I would've dropped by your office”, he finishes, pinching Guanhengs upper arm
Guanheng rolls his eyes “What had you in a hurry?”, he asks trying to change the topic and can almost see the light bulb flicker on next to Dejuns head
“I almost forgot”, Dejun starts and takes a step closer to Guanheng “I was going to go out with Kun and everyone else and thought you'd want to come along”, Dejun finishes while shyly looking down at the ground, Guanheng tilts his head at this action “Why are you acting so shy?”, he asks the other and Dejun just shrugs “I don't know, maybe it's because you'd say no?”, he says as he looks up at Guanheng, words sounding more like a question
Guanheng stays quiet to think, he was going to decline but then he thought about the hopeful look on Dejuns face. It wouldn't hurt to go out just for a bit and have fun, he thought to himself
“I'll come with”, he then says to which Dejun jumps up and down a bit in happiness, Guanheng smiles before doing the same to mock Dejun a little bit to which the male stops and gives Guanheng a look
“Put your things in your car but bring your wallet, they're waiting outside”, Dejun says and Guanheng complies. They make their way to the elevator to get to the first floor and once they make it they move to exit the building, seeing a group of their friends waiting by an Uber
Guanheng pauses once outside looking at the Uber then at the five other people standing there “How are six people going to fit in a five seater car?”, he questions watching as each one of them looks around
“It doesn't matter we'll make it work now let's hurry before this guy drives off without us”, one of them, sicheng, says and they all scurry to get inside the vehicle. Truth be told they had made it work and were soon on their way to a night club
They make it to the night club after about 6 minutes and one of the other friends, Kun, pay for the Uber before they all make their way inside. The inside wasn't as packed as Guanheng had inticipated which was nice, there was music blasting and people spread all over the space of the room. Dejun led them to the bar area and they all ordered drinks
After acquiring their drinks they move to look for a spot to sit and end up finding a spot of the club with a bunch of seats. The friend group sit and cheers before downing their drinks in one go, the goal, Guanheng noticed, was to get drunk and he found himself not being against that idea
The friends converse about work and clients and family and things like that for a while before two of them decide to go for a dance, the two being, Ten, as he preferred them to call him, and Sicheng. The two bid the rest of them goodbye before running to the dancefloor and dancing right up against each other
The seated group, continued to chat and ordered more drinks and Guanheng could feel himself get a little lighter, he was feeling a bit drunk. The male looked to his side and ended up looking at the side of Dejuns face, he watched as the male talked enthusiastically about something to the other two males sitting next to him, Yangyang and Kun. Guanheng was staring for quite a while that he failed to notice Yangyang and Kun get up to leave for the dance floor, he also failed to notice the pair of eyes staring into his own before the other spoke up
“Is there something on my face?”, Dejun says, laughing when Guanheng flinches away “Huh”, Guanheng says dumbly which causes Dejun to laugh again. Guanheng really likes the sound of Dejuns laughter, the male thinks the other looks very good looking right now and shakes his head as soon as the thought appears
“Let's take shots”, Dejun suggests and reaches out to grab two shot glasses filled with transparent liquid from the little table in front of him, he passes one to Guanheng and they take the shot at the same time. Guanheng makes a face as the bitter substance runs down his throat and cracks an eye open to see Dejun make a face as well, Guanheng laughs at the other hard and receives a hard slap on his shoulder. “Ow”, he says quietly while rubbing the spot that had been hit
Dejun grabs two other shot glasses and hands on to Guanheng again “One more then let's go dance”, he says and Guanheng nods before down the drink after Dejun. The males slam the glasses down onto the small table in front of them and stand up to stumble to the dancefloor
Dejun is the first to begin to swing his hips to the music an Guanheng follows not long later, the rest of the friend group come to dance with them and they all laugh at each other when one of them does a funny looking dance move
The group of friends have fun before they start to separate from each other until it's just Dejun and Guanheng dancing with each other. Dejun steps impossibly closer and wraps his arms around Guanhengs kneck, the males hands automatically go the others waist and they hold each other as they sway sensually to the music
Dejun stretches up to Guanhengs ear “That girl has been eyeing you the whole night”, he says and Guanheng shivers as heat hits his ear. Guanheng turns to look to the side and sees a really beautiful looking girl standing with a drink in her hand. Guanheng leans down to Dejuns ear “I see her”, he says, not taking his eyes off of the girl. He feels Dejun shift against him “Don't focus on her let's dance Heng”, Dejun whines in his ear and Guanheng can feel goosebumps spread all over his body
Guanheng nods against the space between Dejuns jaw and neck and Dejun turns so that his back is against Guanhengs front. The male starts to move against Guanheng and the other stills, not knowing what to do
Guanheng snaps out of his daze and starts to move his hips against Dejuns back
The two stay pressed right against each other, dancing in sync, breathing getting heavier and Dejun decides to turn to face the other, Guanheng stills his movements as Dejuns eyes drop to his lips and the male starts to move closer. The two are a breath away now and Guanheng can feel Dejun breathing on his lips, it's very warm, Guanheng feels hot
Lips collide the next second and Guanheng squeezes tightly around Dejuns waist they pull apart way to soon. The males stare at each other, seemingly trying to find something in the pair of eyes looking into their own
Guanheng takes the initiative and leans in to capture Dejuns lips with his own. Lips move against each other in a sloppy mess, the drinks they had before not helping in any way. They break apart for air only for a second before they colliding together again. Guanheng feels fingers scratch through his hair and let's out a hum as they pull the strands
Dejun starts to move his hips again, not breaking his lips away from Guanhengs own. Guanheng followed his lead and let's out a breath as their groins unexpectedly rub together. The two continue to kiss, movements become sloppier and sloppier by the second
Guanheng separates from the other after hearing a humming sound make its way out of Dejuns mouth. They pant like they've just run a marathon while looking into each other's eyes
“I think we should get out of here”, Dejun says breathless and Guanheng nods dumbly. They move off the dance floor and make a beeline for the exit of the nightclub
Guanheng groans as he shifts his position on his bed. His head hurts and he feels sticky
The male lays there for a few minutes before getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Guanheng enters the cold room and turns the faucet on to the sink and splashes his face to try and get himself awake
Once done he grabs a towel and dries his face. Guanheng looks himself in the mirror and almost drops the towel. There his reflection stands, shirtless, staring back at him, with purple and red splotches all over his abdomen and neck area. What happened last night?
Guanheng closes his eyes and tries to think but only gets dizzy when he opens them up again, “Damn”, he says quietly, eyes going back to look at the purple bruises all over his body. The male huffs and exits the bathroom
Guanheng goes to sit back down on his bed, he could really use some sleep right now. The man lays down and gets comfortable before closing his eyes. He sighs as he feels himself grow heavier and just as he's about to succumb to slumber, something flashes on his eyelids. You could call it a memory
A memory of Guanheng and Dejun dancing pretty inappropriately for friends, a memory of Guanheng and Dejun sharing a kiss
Guanheng tries to remember anything that had happened after but he fails. The male let's out a sigh and wishes for the bed he currently lays on to open up and swallow him
“What the fuck did i do?”
