Zhiwei's gaze turns away to the side when he hears this kind stranger ask about the situation. The instructor normally isn't the type to lie. Nothing good ever came out of lying but as he thought of before the last that needed to be done was to create a large panic.

The bathroom was rather quiet with just the two of them there, muffled bass shaking the walls around them but it wasn't awful. Either way, it wasn't the place one would ever think to find the instructor in. He couldn't be so sure that those guys that were trying to take him would think the same. "Something like that.." he answers softly adjusting the bag on his shoulder before his piercing eyes are back on the younger. "They cornered me when I was coming out of work and I ran off before they could get too close. I didn't exactly want to stick around to find out what they wanted from me specifically."

That should do it. It wasn't a full lie and it wasn't the full truth either. Zhiwei felt like it would be a bit irresponsible of him to bluntly drop the fact that there were people looking for divine beings to kidnap and experiment on.

"Sakura..?" he asked looking at the girl confused yet his grip on the sword he had with him tightens. Zhiwei couldn't help but still be on alert. He couldnt understand why she was here or why she was talking to him so suddenly. It all just came off very strange to him.

Not to forget to mention the fact that the way she gazed at him threw him off. While Zhi's stare was always rather intense or intimidating the girls stare looked empty.. Like she was staring right through him. Yet when she talks he's once again caught off guard. A long time resident of the island finding her way off the path to capture him working out so early in the morning. After some bit of silence Zhiwei finally lets his grip soften. He turns back to his gym bag grabbing the sheath for his sword to put back into before he's putting it to the side and grabbing water to sip on. "I've only been on the island for about two years now. I don't work at a host, I work at the gym, as an instructor. So yes, I could teach you." he explains and takes a swig of water be he is closing it up and tossing it back into his bag. "Would I teach you? Now that is a different conversation."

Summer Gala 2021

Stoic as always that is until @mp-xiaolang finds his way back to his side. Zhi may have his worries in the back of his mind but he knows how much his boyfriend thrives outside of their shared apartment. He wants Xiao happy and there definitely wasn't wrong with dressing up for the occasion but if anyone run into this instructor at the gala he's more than likely going to be wearing his hard stare.

[mp-zhiwei]

Zhiwei is fully entranced in his practice. The spins and every flair he adds to his movements and thrusts and slices of the sword look too elegant to be real to be able to be useful in combat but it is. The instructor makes it look effortless although is working up quite the sweat.

After making it through a routine Zhiwei stops and stands tall, chest rising up and down quickly as he tries to catch his breath. All those emotions he's pent up inside him he slowly can feel fade away and disperse. No longer is he blinded by his rage but he has some clarity now which he follows up with some relaxation as he takes an easy inhale and exhales. Zhiwei is just about to take off the thin jacket he had on over a sleeveless shirt when he hears a voice and that voice startles him enough to where he turns towards that person with a glare.

"What..? Have you seen me before?" he asks carefully a little surprised to hear someone ask to teach him. Normally he's the one that is looking for new students but now he wonders if this girl would be like the rest. Is she only here to fawn over his looks? Or worse- she couldn't be a part of that group, could she?

It was early in the morning, dawn just about to break, and Zhiwei had left the apartment he shared with his boyfriend to start his time training. Being out at this time wasn't unusual, but the instructor wasn't just out here to practice.

There was this new fire inside of him now. Before when it came to his training, the demigod had mainly used it as a medium to work out his unstable emotions. He wanted to burn through this loneliness of having such a small family, not exactly growing up with a mother's touch since he lost his mother at such a young age. His uncle was there for him of course but he grew up with discipline and tough love instead.

Now that he has people that he cares about, his talent wasn't just going to be for tournaments anymore. After finding out that there were these wicked people hunting the divine, and Zhiwei himself coming in too close of contact easily becoming a target, the young instructor has been hellbent on doing more than just train to keep up with his strength. He needed to be in tip-top shape so when these people came back to look for him or Xiaolang, or anyone else for that matter, he wasn't going to let these monsters take anyone else. Not if he's around to stop them.

Very slowly as the sun comes up, Zhiwei has worked past his warm-up and pulled out an old sword swiftly going through different movements. Any wandering eye that catches the instructor during his training may very well easily misjudge his moves for a dance. It was easy just from watching the fluidity and grace with every step and every swing, but his hard work shows. Zhiwei is already panting lightly, skin sheen with sweat dripping from his jaw and down his neck all while he wears this look of hard determination.

He can't stop.

He also can't allow himself to be weak enough for these monsters to take him either.

simping softness prompts.

basically i got shippy and now there's these soft little prompts for romantic, platonic, and yearning situations!! use them at your leisure!

" you're shivering. here, take my jacket. "

" you... sorry, you just got a little something on your face... here, let me get it for you. "

" hey, so... i know you haven't been feeling great, so i picked up a few of your favorite snacks, drinks... "

" you stayed? "

" well, of course i stayed. you're here, where else would i be? "

" oh! i found this in the mall, i figured it might be something you'd like! "

" hey, everything's gonna be fine. stay where you are, i'm on my way. "

" wow... you look... you look amazing. "

" we should grab some coffee together, sometime. "

" holy crap, i thought you were dead! never do that to me again! "

" i made some breakfast, if you're hungry? "

" your hands are freezing! let me warm them up... "

" i knew you wouldn't go to sleep willingly, so i brought you some chamomile tea and a blanket. twenty minutes of shut-eye, okay? "

" it's okay. i promise you, i will be here when you wake up. "

" hey! hey, hey, it's alright! it's okay, my darling/friend/love, i'm here, i've got you... "

" i'll walk you home. "

" you need a lift? "

" i... sometimes, i guess i kinda wish you could see yourself through my eyes. "

" i see you still have my shirt! "

" i got starbucks. this is your favorite, isn't it? "

" you look like you could use a hug. "

" okay, quit it with the drinks. i think that's enough, hmm? i'll cover the tab, but for now, let's get you home... "

" i'm not letting you sleep on the couch. come on. get under the blankets. "

" i mean... i-i'm cool with sharing the bed if you are. "

" you were in a really bad way, i wasn't about to abandon you. "

" hey... you've been crying. "

" don't think i won't carry you if i have to! "

" of course i noticed. i notice everything about you. "

" i knew you wouldn't bring a jacket, so i made sure to color co-ordinate with you so you could wear mine on the way home. "

" please, talk to me... it kills me seeing you like this. "

" i got a reservation at that fancy italian place you like. come on. get ready, we can get there in time if we get dressed now! "

" he/she/they were an idiot. you're amazing, and if they can't see that, that's on them. "

" i'd happily go kick their arse, but i don't think that would help you. "

" you don't owe me anything. "

" i wish i could just freeze time. let this moment be forever. "

" i got you some flowers. but, if you have allergies, i also got fake flowers! just in case. "

" you realise you don't need to ask my permission, don't you? "

" what's mine is yours. always. "

" i don't know precisely what i did to earn your presence in my life, but... i'd do it a thousand times over if i knew what it was. "

" yes, these last few years have been a living hell, but... i'd live them a thousand times over if it meant you being safe and happy. "

" i don't care about everyone else! i care about you, [NAME]!"

[mp-zhiwei]

So far so good. This wasn't exactly how he was expecting to find a new student but it was worth giving it a shot and seeing if she would actually be able to take the discipline. He treats all his students the same and he was very traditional. If she couldn't handle that then she would have to be turned away. It was like this with every student but Zhiwei was more than willing to take a chance.

"Hmm...how about this weekend? I don't hold classes on weekends and it just my time to train most of the day. I can show you how I work and show you pieces of each style. I can bring in an advance fighter as well so you can see them all in action." Lucky for Zhi he knew of a couple of people he's able to spar with and learn new types of styles from. Hopefully it would be interesting enough for her to want to learn.

rage;

mp-zhiwei​:

“Well all of them have their look. Hung Gar is very aggressive but Northern Shaolin and Ba Gua Zhang can be very powerful. If you are really interested though maybe you can come by the gym and I will show you a piece of each? That way you can really make your decision then. ” Zhiwei really wouldn’t mind if this is what the girl wanted. He has been very interested in teaching more than just tai chi, he just didn’t think many would be for it.

The demigod shows a small smile when they talk of his reputation. “I wholeheartedly agree. Talented or not, just one person isn’t going to be the absolute best. Plus when it comes to these tournaments they are all point-based. It is a very traditional and respectful sport yet if they would allow us to go on until someones knocked out it would be very different..”

Most of what he was saying was going in one ear and out the other. If she were to be honest, she would make it clear that she doesn’t give a fuck about the different looks of the different styles or whatever it was he was going on about. She just wanted to be able to break some kneecaps or punch someone in the throat hard enough to get out of any bad situation without falling back on her old crutch.

But being a bitch probably wasn’t the best way to get what she wanted in this situation, so instead she put a polite smile on her face. “Sure, that sounds good. When would be a good time for me to stop by?” The sooner she sat through his demonstration and picked whatever packed the biggest punch, the better. “Yeah, things tend to be different when you throw the rules out the window and fight like savages.”

[mp-zhiwei]

It hadn't even occurred to the Chinese demigod that he didn't even answer nor that he got asked a question back. The only thing that was on his mind was that his lover was going to be in trouble and he needed to figure things out quick. He even thought about getting off the island again yet knowing how stubborn Xiaolang is there was no way he was going to agree to that. Zhiwei huffs but before he's able to say anything he hears the younger stranger he just bumped into showing him into the building he was behind. The instructor looks the other up and down weighing out his options but he looked friendly enough. If they had issues he didn't see any issues with taking him down if needed so he decides to give it a chance.

Zhi nods and walks right in following behind the guy into the club and it was so different coming in from a back entrance compared to the front. He's not completely sure where he's being led to but he follows along, eyes the crow that is on the dance floor and at the bars, casually enjoying themselves and at the end finds himself in a bathroom with the stranger. Zhiwei is a little calmer here but he's still very much on guard, hand on his duffle bag he had brought with him from the gym. "Thank you.." he says with a rather deep-toned voice, it seems to match the intimidating stoic expression the instructor normally wears, "and no I am not a criminal. Far from it actually but the people I was trying to lose are definitely the criminals here." Zhiwei wonders if he should further explain himself but when he thinks about these people he's now slightly interweaved with decides to keep his mouth shut. This stranger is one of the many on the island that can be in danger of these men too. As much as he would like to warn his fellow demigods, the less people knew of the issue, the better.

Damn it, this is why he has been so worried about Xiaolang being back on the island. Things were quiet for weeks but that didn't phase Zhiwei. He doesn't tend to trust people so easily or trust that things could change for the better so quickly.

These guys have gotten braver as well. The young instructor was just heading out of Zero to Hero when he's suddenly face to face with a stranger, but a stranger with a look that instantly strikes him to have an ulterior motive.

The instructor is glaring the stranger down waiting for him to move when he hears fast footsteps coming up behind him. The Chinese demigod quickly moves to dodge the grab from the second stranger trying to take him from behind and quickly shifts into a kick. As the second stranger falls back he feels something shift and different objects come flying at him from the first stranger he's sure. Zhi is quick to move and dodge those too before taking off into a sprint. He has a chance of taking the guy out with his psychogenic pain induction but with it being two against one, plus his little to no experience with using this power in this situation. Zhi wasn't sure what good it would do.

Running out of the residential area and past the park, Zhiwei hopes to loose these guys in the bustling downtown crowd. It was still early in the evening but there were more than enough buildings to hide in. He doesn't see or hear anyone behind him anymore so he takes a few turns at a couple corners until he's forced to stop. The young instructor had brushed past someone, shoulders hitting against each other which only forces them to suddenly look at each other. "Sorry.." he mutters looking back at the direction he was just coming from and it shows on his face. The brunette was worried watching out for the same two faces from before hoping they don't turn in this way. He'd feel awful if he suddenly pulled someone into this.. "I'm..sorry I need.." he tries to speak through his light panting but his mind was going so fast. He needed to hide. He needed to warn Xiao. He needed to make sure to lose these guys before he heads home.

It's all so cheesy. Zhiwei never thought that he might be capable of saying these words to anyone. He never even uttered the word to his uncle. Neither were the type to say it rather than show it. So it was a big deal for him, big enough that he knows he'd proudly be able to tell Xiaolang that he loves him every day. Zhi had not really been into PDA but the kiss he gets after confessing his love has that thought disappear from his mind. Suddenly he doesn't care that there maybe eyes on them or that people could possibly be whispering about them. The instructor's hand slowly moves to cup his boyfriend's cheek confidently kissing him back until they have to pull away.

Maybe they were made for each other? Maybe they knew each other in their past life? Zhi felt like he could probably think on this for days but whatever the answer is doesn't matter now that he's got Xiao. "I'm more than okay to be stuck to you." he chuckles again but just rests his head against the older's while they stood there. Zhiwei's arms slowly go back to wrap around the older's small waist to pull him in close. "Maybe...we should head home early..? Is there anyone that you absolutely wanted to see?"

mp-zhiwei​: Zhiwei & Xiaolang

Spilled Wine | Xiaolang & Zhiwei 

Kissing Xiaolang was always a hell of an experience. It makes his skin tingle, it takes his breath away and it also makes him forget about everything in that moment. No longer did he feel those eyes stare or those whispers people might have been spreading. All that mattered to him right now was having his stunning boyfriend in his arms. 

The kiss always seems to be over way too soon but that look the older gives him just makes Zhi smile, something that the instructor is seen doing more and more every day just from being with the journalist. “I’m glad it’s just me then.” he teased a little but the sudden confession of love had Zhiwei stopping. He was amazed. Zhi knows that they haven’t exactly said it to one another before but he also knows that it was real.  “I love you too..” he says softly looking back into Xiaolang’s eyes. “You might be my first..but I really hope you are my last gege..I don’t think I could ever feel this way about someone else. I don’t think about anyone else like I think about you..”  

One smile from Zhi and Xiao was a melted puddle of goo. The man was incredible in every way and Xiao was still trying to wrap his head around how he ended up with something so far out of his league they might as well have been in space. Then Zhi said those words back to him and it was like everything in the universe suddenly clicked into place. A bright smile shone on Xiao’s lips just before he crashed them into Zhi’s again, kissing him until they were both breathless. 

“I know for a fact that I have never felt this way about anyone before and I don’t think I ever will again. We’re stuck with each other. Anyone else would just pale in comparison to you.” He laughed a bit at his own words and shrugged. “Wow that is incredibly cheesy, but it’s also completely true.” He pulled himself closer to Zhi and laid his head in the crook of his boyfriend’s neck, breathing in his scent and reveling in the warmth of the other against his skin. “I will never love anyone as much as I love you.” Gods he’d never felt this happy in his entire life. It was a little scary because now he had something to loose. That thought only made him hold Zhi tighter because he was never going to let that happen if he could help it.

[mp-zhiwei]

Yeah, DD, You can do that...😆

[mp-zhiwei]

[mp-zhiwei]

"It's not forever, we just need to lay low for everything to slow down. You know if they get wind of you here on the island they are going to be coming after you again." In reality, they would be coming after them both again but at least Zhiwei was confident that he could fight them off. "I'm not telling you to stop working the case. I understand that it's all got to get figured out but I really can't stand the thought of losing you, gege. Why else would I be so protective over you?"

Zhi doesn't expect Xiaolang to say anything different than to challenge that statement. That everything is fine, that nothing has happened. What else could he possibly say? "I know we aren't invincible. I know you are clever and smart but you've also been lucky. What if that luck runs out?" he asks and it's these thoughts that plague the younger's mind but he knows that if this continues to happen they really might not get anywhere and he might not be there when the older's luck runs out if he's just going to sneak out.

"Okay, fine... I admit things have been quieter. There hasn't been a lot of activity and you have successfully snuck out a number of times. If I agree to have you move back we have to come up with a plan. I won't take you back just to wing it.. So let's think of what our next move is before we go home."

mp-zhiwei​: Zhiwei & Xiaolang

Safety First | Xiaolang & Zhiwei

@mp-xiaolang

continued from here

A lot has happened…

Things seemed to have really escalated with Xiaolang’s current investigation. So much so that the instructor had to relocate his boyfriend off of the island just to have some peace of mind. Of course, that was mainly for his sanity since his boyfriend didn’t find it that intimidating. At least that is how it comes off as.

So seeing how again his boyfriend is trying to shrug off going out for some time, short or not, Zhiwei is just genuinely worried and a little frustrated. The younger isn’t even surprised at all to see how Xiao turns on the charm but he just turns his head when the older comes forward. “Gege..you were the one that told me about how serious this is. You showed me the list…I don’t want you to end up on it just by not being careful. Plus after everything we have already been through, we know they are still looking for you.” he explains, and only after does he turn his head back towards Xiao. “I am not going to lose you.”

Xiao can’t help but pout when Zhi turned away from him and instead continued to insist that he’d done a bad thing. It was a little frustrating to be treated like something fragile but at the same time, he knew Zhiwei was right. But being himself he couldn’t help but complain. “Ugh I know but you can’t expect me to just sit here forever. How am I suppose to crack this case just sitting on my arse all day!” He threw his arms up in the air dramatically and flopped onto the couch with a groan. “I can’t sit still for longer than an hour at most and you want me to stay here, alone, indefinitely until this thing is taken care of but the thing is it won’t be taken care of until I finish the case and I can’t very well do that if I’m stuck inside!” 

Yes Xiao was being unreasonable and he knew it but it was hard, being left alone and unable to leave. He felt, anxious, like a bowstring strung too tightly that could snap any minute. “It was just for a little while and nothing happened. You didn’t lose me. And you won’t.” If Xiao had to claw his way back from the grave to be with Zhi he would, but he kept that part to himself.

[mp-zhiwei]

“That’s so much icing. It’s like a tower of icing,” Eros says as he stares at the little cake he was thinking about grabbing.

Zhiwei slowly comes to the god’s side looking for what has caught his eye when he does see the heavily decorated cake. The demigod actually lets a smile grace his face laughing lightly when he looks towards the other. “I didn’t know you would be a fan of sweets. Is that not too much? It does seem to be a full tower of icing.”
