Working with my Idol! And lover? (zhanyi)

Chapter five

"Xixi, why can't you play Karla instead?" Jian Yi muttered without realising what he was saying.

Zhan Zhengxi had a stunned look and he frowned, abandoning his hand. "Stupid! I'm not acting as a woman when everyone can tell who I am and that I'm a man.."

"Yeah but with the power of make up we can change that!" Jian Yi smiled brightly. "You know, I'm kinda experienced in make up."

"No.."

-----------------------

"Open your eyes!" The make up artist sat on the stool next to the famous actor.

The actor slowly opened them as his eyebrows rose in worry. His face was dumbfounded the next moment.

"CURSE YOU, JIAN YI." Zhan Zhengxi sprang from his chair, his fist shaking at the other.

The make up artist started to cackle as he witnessed his idol who's face caked in make up.

"I tried and that's what matters, Xixi!" he managed to get out before laughing even more.

Zhan Zhengxi made a funny (but ugly) face as he threw the eye shadow pallette in rage. He was going to leave but there was something stopping him. Like an invisible barrier around them. Stupid heart, get it together.

He slumped back down on the stool and exhaled. Jian Yi had stopped laughing now but kept a smile on his face, his dimples visible.
This was hard... how was he supposed to get mad at Jian Yi now?

"Fine, you fucking tried." Zhan Zhengxi rolled his eyes.

"And now.."

"We wipe it off?"

"No, I'm tired. I need a drink.. Hey, wanna go get a drink?"

"WHAT?" Zhan Zhengxi stood up from his chair, his right fake eyelashes hanging on his eye for dear life.

"You're ready? I was thinking of napping a bit but seems like you're so excited!"

"No. NO! Jian-" and then he was dragged to the nearest store quickly.

How did they end up here.. In a line waiting for this "special drink" Jian Yi wanted but the other new it was to embarrass him.

"Ouh, I'm so lucky." the pale blond suddenly said as he clung onto his idol's arm. The other looked down with a what-are-you-doing look.

"This BEAUTIFUL woman accepted my feelings after months of asking her out." Jian Yi shouted.

The line watched the two in silence, some proudly looking at Jian Yi as a "well done, brother", some thinking that the woman looked very.. strange (and ugly).

"Yi.. what are you doing.." the idol whispered hastily.

"Aww, don't be shy." he sang cheerily. "I just wanna show you off to everyone," he paused. "babe."

This. This stopped now.

"Ahaha..! Where are we going?" Jian Yi chuckled nervously.

"We're leaving. No "special" drink for you." Zhan Zhengxi stated, trying to hide his temper.

Jian Yi then realised he went a bit too far..

---

"Are you still mad?" the actor said as he sat on his idol's very comfy couch, removing the horrible make up he's done.

"..." and a nod was all he received.

But no one could stay mad for so long.

"Could you turn this way for me?"

Zhan Zhengxi didn't turn his head. He had his arms crossed and an exasperated look on his face. His hair was also pushed back by a cat-themed spa headband which ticked him off even more.

"Ughhh.." the other groaned.

"Fine."

He stood up but he didn't walk away. Instead he sat back down onto the couch.. well, not the couch.

This caught Zhan Zhengxi off guard and his face turned bright red instantly. "WHAT THE-"

"Don't blame it on me! I had to get this part of the face clean!" he grinned as he leaned closer.

"BUT ON MY.. LAP? YOU COULD'VE SAT.." his voice quivered and the other could tell. But he didn't budge and instead hugged him like a sloth. What Zhan Zhengxi felt was not a heart break or burst but a heart melt.

"Sorry, Xixi." the idol heard and he'd completely given up being mad.

"I surrender." Zhan Zhengxi mumbled before burying his head between the other's neck and shoulder.

"Oi!! Don't get make-up on my t-shirt!" Jian Yi laughed but he didn't move. He liked his a lot. Wow, younger Jian Yi would be screaming in shock and disbelief.

The two were weary after a long day so they fell asleep in position. It wasn't comfortable but both were too reluctant to let go (and lazy to move). Zhan Zhengxi may have not asked out Jian Yi today but will tomorrow... maybe..

But before they fell asleep, Jian Yi muttered something. What was it? Zhan Zhengxi couldn't hear.. He'd just ask in the morning.
