@☘︎┊nie jiaolong ᵇ Time ticks away as I get back in my seat, fighting off the encroaching feeling of heatstroke as I try to focus on the laptop before me. It should be easy work. Deep down I know it is. But each piece and component is another reminder of the very problem I am trying to stave off. Female to male connector plugs. Sockets and jacks all teasing the already distracted mind as I mate one to the other.

A bead of sweat runs slowly along my neck, rolling over heated skin as it trails the path of my collarbone and down my cleavage. A heavy breath leaves my lips as I try to blink away the thoughts in my mind. How long passed since Miss Jiaolong’s message? It simultaneously feels like no time at all and an eternity all at once. I lean over the table for my phone as the door finally sounds out a knock, and I freeze.

As she enters I feel as if my whole body locks up in that position with my arm stretched for the phone, painfully aware of the position of my chest as each breath presses up against the top of the desk. The familiar dizzying heat of a blush creeps over the bridge of my nose as my eyes trail up over the rather slight form of the pink-haired professor. Lips part as I go to speak, only to freeze in place again as her voice- No… His voice? It rumbles out of that beautiful form before me, tickling at something hidden.

“M-miss Jiao- Mister? Oh, Fenrir, I a-apologize if I was mistaken in the chat rooms,” I hurriedly blurt out as I catch his gaze traveling over my body. It is only a momentary distraction before his hand lift up displaying the aforementioned phone. Words fail to pass my lips for a moment as my tongue stumbles over the syllables formed by my mind. “Quick, quick.” I give the table a quick slap as I unceremoniously push the laptop frame and its pieces aside. “You turned it off, yes?”

@☁︎┊lan hyunjung ᵒ I'm playing candy crush on my phone the whole way to the office. I'm not much for... buildings... but if there's one thing civilisation has going for it, it's mobile games and beauty products. I'm wearing my usual black leather, my long pink hair styled into careful waves and, of course, also wearing make up. As I approach the room, I wrinkle my nose at a strong scent. A very nice one, but wow it's strong. Looks like someone is in heat. I briefly reconsider entering the room, and then toss any and all concerns out the window. It'll be fiiiine. Besides, who doesn't like a nicely scented omega? Even if she is from the Lan clan... immediate minus points for that.
Now just before I knock, I realise my phone looks a bit too functional. And so, I retreat, find a bathroom and run my phone under running water for like 5 minutes. Once it looks appropriately damaged, I, pleased, return to knock on the door before pressing down on the handle and pushing open the door.

I'm not super tall and slim enough, so my build often confuses people as to my born gender. My voice, however, leaves no questions unanswered. My eyes land on her and I grin. "Well, hello~ Did I catch you at a bad time?" I glance at the disemboweled laptop(?) and then at her chest where my gaze lingers for a second before I look back at her face. I hold up my phone, which is so wet it's dripping water. "Help."

@☁︎┊lan luhan ᵒ ⁰¹⁰²²⁵ sehun chuckled softly, the sound vibrating against luhan’s lips as the older male kissed him back. It was a gentle kiss, tender and unhurried, a perfect reflection of the love that poured from sehun’s heart. luhan always had a way of silencing him, of rendering his thoughts still and his world brighter with just a press of their lips. sehun's hands slid down naturally, resting on luhan’s waist as if they were made to fit there, pulling him closer. the faint, intoxicating scent that was uniquely luhan’s filled his senses - something sehun treasured because it was his alone to experience.

when luhan pulled back to ask a question, sehun smiled. instead of answering right away, he stepped away slightly, his fingertips brushing down to catch luhan’s in a soft interlace. turning to the small lamp on the table, sehun dimmed the light. he knew how much of a perfectionist luhan was, how his mind rarely let him fully unwind. tonight, sehun was determined to help him relax.

with quiet confidence, the alpha moved to the door and opened it, his keen senses checking the hallway before glancing back to make sure luhan was following. the late hour meant the corridors were empty, save for the occasional janitor who might pass through, but sehun wasn’t taking any chances. feeling a little like a spy in some mission, he guided luhan out of the main building and towards the staff dorms, his arm brushing against luhan’s as they walked.

every few steps, sehun tilted his head slightly, taking careful whiffs of the cool night air, ensuring no unfamiliar scents lingered nearby. he smirked to himself, amused by how stealthy he felt. by the time they reached his room, he slipped the key into the lock with a practiced ease, opened the door, and ushered luhan inside. once the door clicked shut behind them, sehun turned to take in the sight of his omega.

luhan stood in the warm glow of the single lamp sehun had , his features bathed in soft light. ethereal was the only word sehun could think of to describe him. from the delicate curve of his jaw to the gentle way his lips quirked as he took in the space, everything about luhan felt like a dream sehun was lucky enough to hold.

' make yourself comfortable,' sehun murmured, his voice low and affectionate as he crossed the room. ' would you like some tea? or…' he paused, a playful glint in his eyes as he leaned against the table. ' I could run the water. we could take a bath. together.' the corner of his lips curled into a mischievous grin, and his eyes sparkled with the kind of warmth only luhan could bring out of him.

@☁︎┊lan sehun ᵃ He wanted nothing more than to let Sehun have his way, melt fully into his arms and let his mate sweep him away to whatever adventure he had planned for them. The bell toll of responsibility was loud in his head though and his desire to do a good job for the school had him hesitating again. Luhan felt the gooseflesh rise as Sehun's lips traced the length of his neck, and with the softest of exhalations his resistance was reduced to whispers at the back of his mind. Muscles engaging Luhan tightened his grip, fingers travelling upwards to pull the taller mans lips back to his own, kiss heavy and insistent.

Between uneven breaths he murmured, "Whisk me away my prince"

@☘︎┊nie jiaolong ᵇ These days were always the worst. Even after persevering through days of longing wants there is nothing I want more than just a break and a cold shower. Who would think it could feel this warm in the middle of winter?

I shrug off the leather jacket that was hanging half-way off my shoulder, letting it drape down over the back of the chair behind me. It is lucky the room is locked and I have no appointments, for I am certain I would get an earful about my ‘provocative outfit’ had anyone seen the way I hiked down my top to get some cold air along my chest. Lewd, perhaps… But it certainly beats overheating.
‘Ironic enough,’ I think to myself as I look at the laptop is propped up on the table before me; various pieces of the internal structure placed out across the table. As much as I try to keep my focus on what I am meant to do I feel my mind wander. Fantasies and images so tempting that I momentarily debate taking a break to hide away and relieve some pressure.

Had it not been for a sudden buzz from my phone that might have been just what I would have done. Instead I put away my tools and reach for it, hoping for any distraction from myself. Fingers fly over the on-screen keyboard as I thank Fenrir for the gift that is Miss Jiaolong. Despite the brief moments of chat she is no more than a stranger. But she is a fun one, that much I know. And it would seem she was very much up to her usual fun antics based on the contents of her message.

The squeak of plastic groaning escapes the chair as I get up to march across the room, stopping only for a moment to adjust my top enough to hide the bra beneath. No need to give that first impression so readily. The lock clicks as it slides back from the frame, leaving the door open for Jiaolong’s arrival with her “broken” phone.

@☁︎┊lan luhan ᵒ sehun watched luhan carefully, his eyes flicking to the pile of reports spread out on the table. luhan squinted at the papers, clearly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work. the sight tugged at Sehun's heart. he wanted to lighten the weight on luhan’s shoulders, even if only for a moment.

without warning, sehun spun luhan around and pulled him close, wrapping his arms snugly around the omega’s waist. he rested his chin on luhan’s shoulder, his voice low and soothing. ' I promise I’ll help with it later,' he murmured, his breath warm against luhan’s ear. ' but right now, let’s spend some time together. just the two of us. It’s been too long.'

leaning in, sehun pressed a soft kiss to luhan’s cheek, his lips lingering, savoring the warmth of his mate’s skin. one hand moved gently, caressing just above luhan’s stomach, his touch tender yet purposeful. ' I promise you won't regret it, ' he whispered, his voice laced with teasing affection.

sehun’s lips trailed down to luhan’s neck, leaving butterfly kisses against the soft curve of his skin. each touch was light, deliberate, and filled with playful intent. between kisses, he blew gentle streams of air, his grin widening. sehun chuckled softly, his movements unhurried, relishing in the chance to distract his omega from the burdens of the day.

@☁︎┊lan sehun ᵃ The lingering kiss was exactly what luhan needed to banish any remaining tension from his body. The tenderness with which he was held made the butterflies in his stomach flutter wildly, his lips tingling slightly from whatever remained of sehuns lunch, probably his favorite spicy noodles.
Luhan watched sehuns theatrics, mesmerized by the joyous light in 'his alpha's' eyes as though he had captured the light of the sun and stood before him ready to banish the darkness.
Skoll chuffed softly in the back of luhans mind, equally as enraptured, 'mine' came the soft statement, no inflection only simple confirmation of that knowledge.
Luhan gazed into sehuns eyes for a few beats too long, then suddenly realized that he had been asked a question "I- I'd love to...." He paused as he dragged his gaze away reluctantly to stare at the looming pile of reports he had yet to review for the end of the semester "but..." He glanced back at sehun now struggling to bring his eyes to meet the others gaze, afraid he'd get lost there again.

@☁︎┊lan luhan ᵒ sehun’s lips curled into a soft smile as luhan practically melted into his arms, burying himself against sehun’s chest. the delicate weight of his soulmate felt like home. sehun leaned down, pressing his nose to luhan’s neck, inhaling deeply. the faint scent of vanilla and something distinctly luhan filled his senses, grounding him.

he pulled back just enough to place a light kiss on luhan’s lips - a sweet, almost shy gesture. inside, however, sehun’s heart thudded wildly. ' what a fool I am for him, ' he thought with a silent laugh, not for the first time.
his arms wrapped snugly around luhan’s petite waist, anchoring him in place. sehun felt a ripple of tension as luhan’s gaze flicked nervously toward the door. he knew exactly what his omega was thinking. with a soft chuckle, he tilted Luhan’s chin so their eyes met, the worry in those doe-like orbs fading under sehun's calming presence.

' it’s just us,'he murmured, his voice warm and steady. ' don’t worry - I locked the door.' his smile widened, his eyes crinkling into crescents that radiated affection.

sehun leaned in, closing the gap between them. his lips brushed luhan’s gently at first, testing, tasting. then, slowly, the kiss deepened, every movement deliberate and tender, as though he was trying to tell luhan all the things words couldn’t convey. his hand slid up luhan’s back, cradling him closer. luhan’s lips were soft, warm, and carried the faint sweetness of coffee. sehun couldn’t resist teasing. as he pulled away, he his lips, grinning playfully. ' latte with extra milk?' he asked, his voice a low murmur laced with amusement. he watched Luhan’s cheeks flush, the faint pink spreading across his delicate features, and sehun felt his chest swell with pride.

' mine,' his wolf growled possessively.

sehun took a step back, his demeanor suddenly shifting to exaggerated gallantry. he swept into a low bow, one hand pressed dramatically to his chest, the other extended toward luhan. 'your alpha,' he announced with a cheeky grin, 'is here to whisk you away from all these boring responsibilities. will you do me the honor, my grace, of joining me on an adventure?' his voice was theatrical, but the love in his gaze was unmistakable.

@☁︎┊lan sehun ᵃ [Listening to: The Best Thing- Paper Planes https://youtu.be/EktnNYHAi80?si=Qkcx9kQS4wjtro2w]

Luhan drummed the pen against the table restlessly, a print-out of the semesters budget on the desk in front of him. He sighed heavily, brow furrowed in concentration as he ran his free hand through his short blonde hair. "For the love of Fenrir, what is this..." he mumbled under his breath, dropping the green pen and picking up a red highlighter to mark yet another line item where the costs had exceeded the budget.

Though Luhan heard the light knock at the door he didn't register that someone had entered the room until the bright peppermint overtones of his favorite scent reached him from the draft that swept it further into the room than the wolf it belonged to.
Moments later he felt strong arms grip the armrests of his chair and turn him towards the newcomer; the stress melted from Luhan's face as he gazed into the brilliant ice blue eyes that crinkled softly at the edges and met his. "good afternoon to you too" Luhan said, a gentle smile lifting the corners of his mouth as the thoughts that darkened his cloudy grey eyes seemed to skitter away.

Luhan felt his heart flutter as Sehun pressed the kiss to his forehead; before responding he carefully peered around Sehun to make sure the door had been fully shut. Not one to leave anything to chance, as usual, Sehun had deftly closed and locked it behind him on his way in.
With a soft breath of released tension, Luhan moved smoothly, pushing the chair out from under him and pushing himself up into Sehun's arms.
"Only thing I need to relax is you,"
He allowed the other to straighten slightly before pressing a soft kiss to the corner of Sehun's mouth as if asking for more but unwilling to wait for a taste.
"I missed you," he murmured softly.

@☁︎┊lan luhan ᵒ sehun always knew where to find luhan. buried between piles of papers and scattered books, his boyfriend looked like he was built from the same quiet, hardworking energy. it was one of the things sehun adored most about him - luhan’s dedication, his unwavering focus, his ability to lose himself in work while still managing to keep a gentle spirit.

after finishing his own classes for the day, sehun slipped out of the room, letting his fingers glide over his backpack straps as he headed toward luhan's office. he followed the dress code as usual - dark red sweater paired with matching dress pants. he didn’t mind it. in fact, he liked the way it made him feel put-together, even if his mind was always wrapped around luhan, and not just what was on his schedule.

reaching the office, he knocked lightly before walking in, a small smile tugging at his lips as he saw luhan absorbed in his work. the familiar sight tugged at something in sehun’s chest, a quiet affection he couldn’t quite put into words.

'I knew I’d find you here, ' sehun said softly, dropping his backpack onto the floor beside the door.

sehun smirked, walking over to the desk, his steps quiet but sure. he reached into his bag, pulling out a small, insulated thermos. he kneeled next to luhan’s chair, his movements smooth and effortless as he spun luhan around to face him.

' I got you tea,' sehun said with a soft smile. 'chamomile and honey, so you can relax.' he leaned down, brushing a kiss against luhan’s forehead, a tender gesture.
