Work Text:
Wei Ying’s day was going terribly wrong.
He’s had days like this when he feels stressed and tensed due to the enormous amount of tests and school work and usually he’ll handle it by doing them one by one while playing some music to calm his senses and having some snack time in between, but this time it was different, it was worse, no it was the worst . Aside from the fact that he had to submit a project two weeks from now and he has a test coming up three weeks from now, he also has to deal with the favor his best friend had asked of him. Which he never should’ve said yes in the first place.
He was packing his things in preparation for his next class when Nie Huaisang came up to him from behind dramatically putting up a formal stance. “This one has come to escort you, Lord Wei.”
“What do you want, Huaisang?” Wei Ying sighs at his friend's usual silliness as he continues to pack his things, eyes not bothering meeting his friend's.
“Ehehehe Wei-xiong, you know me so well.”
“So, what’s it going to be this time, Huaisang?”
"Hm...well, you see, I have a test coming up next week...and I haven't been able to study for it."
"And? You want me to tutor you?" Wei Ying interrupts him.
"Not really...I just want you to fill in for me for my part-time job."
"A part-time job?" Wei Ying asks, slinging his bag over his shoulder. They continue their conversation while walking out of the classroom to proceed to their next class.
"Yup, all I'm asking you to do is fill in for me for five days."
"And why does it have to be me? You could just get someone else or ask for a leave, right?"
"Aiyo, Wei-xiong, you know that you're the only one I trust when it comes to things like these, plus my boss didn't allow me to take a leave. So, please help me, Wei-xiong?"
Wei Ying sighs again at Nie Huaisang's pouting and whining face. "As much as I would like to help you, Huaisang, I also have a test coming up soon. So, just ask for someone else, okay?"
"Wei-xiong, don't you care about your dear friend? Your dear and suffering friend?"
"I already told you, I can't."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please, please, please, please?"
"No and that's final."
Nie Huaisang lets out a grumble before he continues, "Fine, if you won't help me, I'll just have to tell the whole campus about your big crush on Lan Zh—mmph"
Wei Ying's eyes widen, he clamps his hand over his friend's mouth before he can even say the whole name, he looks side to side, confirming if anyone had heard what Huaisang was about to say. "Are you crazy? What if someone heard you, huh?"
Nie Huaisang removes the hand covering his mouth, his lips curve into a sly smirk as he teases his best friend devilishly, "Then, you'll help me right, Wei-xiong?"
"Ugh, fine." Wei Ying finally admits defeatedly.
"Sweet! Then, I'll text you the location, date and time. Thanks, Wei-xiong! See you around!" Nie Huaisang pats his shoulder before leaving with a successful smile on his face, leaving a confused and shocked Wei Ying in the middle of the hall.
And that's how he ended up in his current position. He should've asked Nie Huaisang for more details about this part-time job. He originally thought that it was a normal and easy work, well maybe a bit hard and bothersome but he certainly did not expect to work in a café where he'll be roaming around, advertising, taking orders and serving customers in a maid outfit!
He called his best friend–should he still be considered as his best friend when he uses his secrets to black mail him?– to ask why was the uniform a maid outfit and most importantly why didn’t he tell him!
“Well, that isn’t our usual uniform but a few weeks ago, our manager proposed to have a special a week of reverse-roles, where the ladies would wear a butler’s uniform and the guys would wear a maid’s uniform, hence the outfit.”
“Then, why didn’t you tell me?” Wei Ying gritted out over the call with his fists clenching.
“Aiyo, Wei-xiong if I told you, I know you wouldn’t agree.”
“Huaisang.”
“Aiyo, please just this once, Wei-xiong? You’re already there, you can’t back out now! Plus if you want after you finish this favor, I’ll give you more baby pictures of Lan-xiong, how does that sound, hm? Anyway, Da-ge is calling for me. Good luck!”
And now, he was stuck in a maid outfit that fitted his body too well. The whole outfit was a tight fit short black and white dress that accentuates his small waist and reveals his long pale legs, the sleeves were puffed up, the top had a small cut out of a heart shape on the middle that was slightly revealing his cleavage, he was downed with a white apron connecting to the white collar of his top, the skirt was short, stopping just above his knees, there black with white frills and lace on the end of it, he was also wearing long black knee high socks that barely did any coverage to his revealed milky upper thighs, and to top all of it, he was wearing a long black wig with a white lace hair dresser.
He maybe (really is) shameless but his shamelessness doesn't go this far! He still has some pride and face to conserve! If Jiang Cheng or his jiejie or even worse Lan Zhan saw him wearing such clothes it would be the end of him! If only he could back out but he can’t!
Oh, well no use crying over spilled milk, he’ll just have to be careful not to be discovered, luckily the manager agreed for him to use an alias instead of his real name and hopefully that and his make-up and wig would do the trick and disguise him as someone else.
Just as he was about to exit the dressing room, he heard a ding from his phone. He quickly took a glance and it was none other than a message from his best friend, roommate and crush for five years, Lan Zhan. He didn’t tell the latter what kind of work he’ll be doing, he only told him that he’d be filling in for Nie Huaisang for five days as a favor and as expected being the truly gentleman and understanding person his crush is, the latter simply replied to take care and go home early.
My Lan Zhan <3
Mn, I understand. Take care, Wei Ying. Don’t stay up too late.
Wei Ying
Thank you Lan Zhan! I’ll see you later!
He replies back, before tucking his phone back to his bag. He exits the dressing room with a tinge of pink blush on his cheeks and a lovelorn smile on his face.
So far, the past two days for Wei Ying was going well, everything he saw at the café was surprising and interesting to him, one of the biggest surprise he witnessed here was when he found out that Mianmian was also working here, both of them looked so surprised when they saw each other, well, Mianmian, upon seeing Wei Ying burst into a fit of laughter, Wei Ying on the other hand completely forgotten that he was wearing a maid outfit, when he realized why Mianmian was laughing, he sheepishly avoided her eyes and went back to work.
Back at the employee’s room, Mianmian kept making fun of him as he explained that he was working here for a while as a favor for Nie Huaisang, the latter kept on laughing and taking pictures of him along with some of their co-workers, since they found it so cute how well the uniform fitted him, making him looking like he was a girl.
Though, aside from those silly moments he particularly found it fun working here at Sweet & Bitter café, all of the workers were nice and easy-going, they taught him how to make lattes, whip creams, do latté art and serve customers. All in all he was enjoying his stay here, the only thing he didn’t enjoy was wearing women’s clothes and getting mistaken as a girl. All of those happy moments ended when his identity was found out.
Everything was going well, until one day, a certain someone entered the café.
Wei Ying was behind the cashier, fixing the cups and other necessities when the bell of the front door rang. He immediately stood up from his position to greet the new customer, he readied his girlish voice and smile. “Welcome to Sweet & Bitter café–” His smile dropped once his eyes fell on the tall figure clad in dark and light gold clothes with his usual arrogant face. The said figure was none other than Jin Zixuan, the peacock who broke his sister’s heart during their high school days, and the same peacock who is the current boyfriend of his sister.
Jin Zixuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Wei–'' He didn’t even get the chance to utter the full name when a hand went to cover his mouth in a swift movement. Wei Ying grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the dressing room. Once they were inside, Wei Ying let go of him then Jin Zixuan began. “What the hell are you doing here? And...why are you wearing,” Jin Zixuan made a gesture to his clothes. “That?”
“Huaisang asked me to fill in for his part-time job as a favor. That’s why.” Wei Ying explained, averting his eyes from Jin Zixuan’s as he felt embarrassed that of all people he knew, the peacock was the one to discover him. His eyes snapped to the latter when he heard a snort that quickly developed into a laughing fit.
“Don’t you dare laugh at me!”
Instead of stopping, Jin Zixuan’s laugh grew louder and longer. He only stopped when Wei Ying began to smack his shoulder. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop.” Jin Zixuan composed himself and faced Wei Ying properly but failed as soon as he stared too long at Wei Ying. His laughing fit began again, he clutched his stomach as bent over, laughing hysterically.
“You peacock! You said you wouldn’t laugh anymore!” Wei Ying continued to smack his shoulder, the taller man held a hand in defense. “Okay, okay. I’ll really stop, that’s final.”
“Well, it’s fine if you won’t let me laugh. Since I can always laugh at you on another day.” Jin Zixuan proudly held his phone, showing the photo he took earlier when Wei Ying wasn’t looking. As if on instinct, he held his phone upwards, knowing that Wei Ying would grab it and delete the photo.
“Give it to me, you peacock!” The smaller man tiptoed, making all attempts to grab the phone but failed at every attempt since the latter was taller than him. It was just impossible! Yes, Jin Zixuan may only be a few centimeters taller than him but he was too quick and tactile with his movements, as expected as one of the campus' top players of basketball.
After so many attempts, he finally gets annoyed and impatient, he stops reaching for it and crosses his arms as he grumbles, "Ugh, I've had enough of this! Fine! You can keep the photo, just make sure not to show it to anyone!"
"Yes, yes, young mistress ." Jin Zixuan smugly answers.
Who’s the young mistress now, hm?
He finally got the chance to take his revenge after every single time Wei Ying and his brother teased and bullied him.
"You–!" Wei Ying doesn't even bother to argue back at him, knowing that it would be fruitless, instead he asks, "What are you even doing here?"
"In case you don't know, this place is actually quite popular, many students on campus come here, and I'm here to buy A-Li some coffee and cakes. How about you, why are you so adamant of keeping your identity a secret? Scared of losing some face?"
"What? No."
"Then, maybe...scared of getting embarrassed in front of your Lan Zhan, your crush?"
"What?! Lan-Lan Zhan's n-not my cru-crush! P-plus, why would I be interested in a s-stoic and c-cold walking rule book!" Wei Ying stammers through his words, his face flustered in red. In all honesty, he finds Lan Zhan's cold attitude and rule reciting very hot, the way that deep voice reprimands those misbehaving ones in campus never fails to send shivers down his spine.
"Yeah, sure." Jin Zixuan rolls his eyes, not believing a single thing Wei Ying said. It was obvious Wei Ying had feelings for the Second Jade of Lan, the same goes for the latter who looks at his girlfriend's brother with smitten eyes.
"Anyway, come on, let's get your order ready to go."
"The outfit actually suits you, if it weren't for your temperamental attitude." Jin Zixuan accidentally blurted out, upon realization of what he said, his face turned red in embarrassment, he may have said it in a small voice yet it was audible enough for the smaller man in front of him to hear and staggered with his steps.
"Bye Lan Zhan! I'll see you later! Don't wait for me, okay!" His roommate, his best friend, and his crush for six years and counting, bid him goodbye as he left for his part time job. Since the day Lan Zhan was informed of Wei Ying filling in for Nie Huaisang's work, he's been spending lonely walks to home and dinner time.
Lan Zhan misses the cheerful voice that dwells on a chatter every time he walks home, he also misses the way those slender hands holding a pair of chopsticks place more food on his plate even if he doesn't ask for it. He knows it'll only be for a few days but he still feels lonely and empty for the past three days.
His brother was right, he has fallen too deeply. But can anyone blame him? When everything the boy did made his heart flutter. The moment they met each other at the school gates when the latter had come to school late, Lan Zhan has never been able to take off his eyes from that sunny smile, cheerful voice and vibrant personality.
Even right now, as he was typing his school work, he found it very hard to concentrate due to the pictures of him and Wei Ying hung up on the wall and the lingering scent of the younger male all over their shared apartment. Wei Ying's whole entity was intoxicating, even if the younger male wasn't physically there, Lan Zhan felt so attached to him.
He sighs as places his things down and packs them up, he'll have to stay some place where Wei Ying wasn't there or else he'll never get to finish his paper.
Wei Ying's day was going relatively fine, there wasn't much of school work to do and he spent good amount of time with his roommate, something that he hasn't been able to do for the past few days. Though he is a bit down today since it'll be his last day working here, he admits that he'll miss it somehow, the fresh aroma of coffee, the sweet taste of leftover cakes and sweets, and the playful chattering of his co-workers. The only he would miss here was wearing a maid outfit.
He was currently serving another customer when the café's bell rang, he didn't bother greeting the new customer, knowing that someone else would do that since he was serving another one. Wei Ying excused himself once he was done serving and went back to the cashier where the manager was waiting for him.
"Wei Ying, can you go and take that young man's order, over there?" The manager points toward the lone figure dressed in white near the window, the man had short black hair and a pair of broad shoulders, and Wei Ying could've sworn the man looked eerily familiar to him.
Wei Ying does as he's told and walks up to the man with a menu and small notepad in hand. He projects his voice and delicate figure and puts on his best smile. "Welcome to Sweet & Bitter café, sir. May I take your order?" Wei Ying's eyes widened in shock for the second time in his stay here, he knew this face too well; beautiful molten goldish brown eyes, sharp jaw, pale white skin and that deep voice.
It was Lan Zhan, his roommate, best friend, and love of his life, Lan Zhan. The same person he doesn't want to know about this whole filling- in- for- Huaisang - dressing up - as - a- maid façade.
"Yes, I would like–" Lan Zhan stops himself halfway through as looks up from his work and meets Wei Ying's equally stricken face.
Wei Ying was having a minor panic attack at this rate, his thoughts were screaming and he didn't know what to do!
Well, Lan Zhan doesn't look that shocked, maybe he doesn't know who he is yet? But what if he does? What then? No, no, no, he doesn't have time for this, this is becoming very unprofessional of him, this isn't his work, so he shouldn't screw up!
Okay, okay, calm down Wei Ying and act normal, you've got this.
Before Lan Zhan could even speak, Wei Ying interrupted him, "Excuse me, sir, I'm sorry it seems that I didn't get that right, can you please repeat your order?"
Lan Zhan snapped out of whatever inner turmoil he was having and focused on the sweet and soft voice asking for his order. “Yes, I would like a flat white, that will be all. Thank you.”
“Certainly, I’ll have your order right away, sir.” Wei Ying bows to Lan Zhan before excusing himself.
It was almost time for his shift to end, and Lan Zhan hadn't left the café since he arrived, he just stayed there and did his paperwork, there wasn’t anything unusual that happened while Wei Ying was working yet for some strange reason, he felt a piercing gaze at his back every time he went up and took the orders of the customers. He passed it as just his nervousness because there was a chance that Lan Zhan had discovered who he was. He told himself to calm down and just focus on the task on hand.
He picked up the bags of trash and headed to the back door to throw them and clean up as instructed by the manager. He closes the back door gently and opens the trash lid and throws the bags of trash. It was quite chilly tonight, probably because he was wearing a skirt. He was about to head back when he heard a voice coming from behind, stopping him mid way. “Well, well, what’s a pretty thing like you doing out here in the dark?”
He rolls his eyes and blatantly ignores the person.
“Where do you think you’re going little one?” The stranger moved forward and yanked his wrist, from the looks and smell of it, this person was drunk and had no coherent sense but that still doesn’t make him a less lecherous bastard.
“Let go of me.” He gritted out, yanking his wrist back but the stranger was keeping a fierce grip on it.
“Quite the fierce one, huh?” The stranger was now becoming more forceful, his non occupied was about to travel further to Wei Ying’s body and Wei Ying was about to punch the life out this guy when an even deeper and commanding voice interrupted.
“Let go of him.” Wei Ying’s attention turned to that familiar voice that he always admires and yearns.
“What’re you the boyfriend?” The stranger huffs a fake laugh.
“Yes, I am. Now, let go of him.” Lan Zhan strode forward and gripped the stranger’s wrist strongly, his eyes were red in anger and his patience was running thin, if this person refuses to let go of Wei Ying then he might have an early trip to his ancestors.
Wei Ying’s eyes went big at his best friend’s declaration, for a moment there he forgot that he was in the middle of getting molested and being saved by the prince of his dreams. The words kept on replaying in his mind.
Boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, he said he was my boyfriend!
“What if I don’t?” The stranger was grinning evilly. Wei Ying was now sending the stranger an irritated look, he used the heel of his boot to step on the stranger’s toe.
“You brat!” A hand was coming to slap him but it never came when Lan Zhan grabbed it in time and twisted it painfully, making the stranger scream in pain.
“Do not touch what does not belong to you.” Lan Zhan gave the wrist another painful twist and let go of it. The stranger clicked his tongue and left the scene, leaving the two in their own world.
Lan Zhan turned to Wei Ying, he moved closer, their faces were a few inches away, he brought his hand to caress Wei Ying’s cheek. “Are you okay, Wei Ying?”
“Ye-yes, thank you, Lan Zhan.” Wei Ying’s face was now fully red, their faces were too close, that warm and large hand was caressing his cheek, that baritone voice and hot breath was too close to his ears, making him ticklish, their proximity made it hard for him to look at Lan Zhan.
“Mn, I’m glad.” Lan Zhan released a breath of relief but didn’t move away, instead he hugged Wei Ying and dipped his head at the shorter one’s neck, earning a hitch of breath from the latter.
“Lan-Lan Zhan, can-can I ask , how you did you know it was me?”
“Wei Ying is Wei Ying, no matter what he dresses in or what disguise he is in, I’ll always recognize Wei Ying.”
“Then, you knew it was me from the start?”
“Mn.”
Lan Zhan broke the hug but kept his arms at the shorter man’s waist. “Can I ask Wei Ying something this time?”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you act like you didn’t know me?”
“I-I mean isn’t it weird for someone to dress up like this? Especially a guy? I-I know I’m shameless but not this shameless to wear something like this in front of many people especially y-you. I-I didn’t want you to-to think I’m some kind of pervert. I just-just really want you to like me, since I really like you and had a crush on you for a long time now! But it’s fine if you don’t like me, I–!” His rambling was cut off when a pair of moist lips captured his own. He gasped, his first kiss was being taken by none other than the love of his life! He’s been dreaming of this to happen and now it finally is happening.
The kiss was sweet and chaste but it slowly developed into an erotic one when Lan Zhan had slipped his tongue into Wei Ying’s mouth, licking, craving and tasting the hot cavern. Making the Wei Ying moan and whimper. Lan Zhan broke the kiss reluctantly and licked the soft pair of lips before speaking, “I like Wei Ying too, I love him very much. I want him, I want to make him mine and mine only.” Lan Zhan’s soft gaze fell on the adorable on his beloved, he took his knuckles and planted a kiss on them. “Will he allow this one to claim him? Will he allow this one to be his?”
“Yes! Yes! Yes! I like Lan Zhan very much! I love him so much!”
The two dwelled into a kiss once more, the night was chilly and a messy one but the stars and the moon were above them. And it was just perfect.
If Wei Ying said that he didn’t expect to work at a café wearing a maid outfit then getting kissed and confessed to by his long time crush, then he certainly did not expect getting thrown into his roommate’s bed and getting his virginity taken.
Lan Zhan had taken the liberty of taking off those long knee high socks covering those milky long slender legs, he starts kissing and worshipping those nice and sculpted ankles, he moves to those legs and thighs, peppering non stop kisses and occasionally sucking love bites on them. He feels for Wei Ying’s chest and pinches the erect nipples through the cloth covering it. He brings a hand to hitch up Wei Ying’s skirt, he removes the black shorts Wei Ying was wearing under, then brings a finger to hook down Wei Ying’s soaked underwear. He pushes those wobbling knees and marvels at the sight of the cute weeping cock and the pink tight puckered hole presented in front of him.
“Lan-Lan Zhan..” Wei Ying murmurs with eyes brimming in tears of need.
Lan Zhan gives him a soft smile and a kiss of reassurance on his forehead before proceeding to squeeze some lube and insert a finger inside his hole. He flinches once the cold and slick finger enters, it was a weird and foreign feeling but it felt good when Lan Zhan kept on thrusting in and out, brushing over that spot that made him see the stars. Soon a second then a third finger entered, at this point Wei Ying was already a mewling mess, his cock was weeping and hard, from Lan Zhan’s continuous movements he could already feel that he was close to coming.
As if he sensed it, Lan Zhan cruelly withdrew his fingers, earning a discontented whine from his lover. He unzipped his pants, pulled down his underwear and pulled out his hard and leaking cock. Wei Ying watched him as he lubed his cock, his eyes broaden when he caught sight of the large cock filled with angry red and purple veins popping. He knew Lan Zhan was big but he didn’t think that it would be this big! He gulps then turns to his lover, “Lan Zhan...will it fit?”
“Mn, it will.” Lan Zhan says as he lines his cock at the entrance, he slowly enters and waits for his lover’s signal if he wanted to stop, when none came he fully sheathed himself inside, this made his lover under him moan loudly and shamelessly. They took it slow but when Lan Zhan couldn’t hold himself back anymore, he flipped Wei Ying onto his stomach and took him from behind, a few more thrusts and Wei Ying soon came untouched, dirtying the uniform he was supposed to return tomorrow. Lan Zhan followed, he let out a grunt as he released his content inside Wei Ying.
Both of them collapsed side by side, taking in delight of their post orgasm feeling. Once fully coherent, Wei Ying sat up and undid the rest of his clothes, a thought came to his mind, he grinned and teased, “Lan Zhan, look what you did. How am I supposed to return this now?”
“Will pay for it.” Lan Zhan says with his ears turning red.
Wei Ying giggles and returns to his lover’s arms, they cuddle in silence and plant kisses on each other.
Lan Zhan presses a long kiss on Wei Ying’s forehead. “Wei Ying.”
“Hm?”
“Next time, do not wear such clothes in front of others.” Lan Zhan whispers dangerously and possessively at his ear.
Wei Ying blinks in shock then giggles, “Okay, Lan Er-gege. I’ll make sure that you’ll be the only one to see me like this, how about that, hm?”
Lan Zhan gives him an audible growl and dove down to kiss his shameless lover passionately.
Needless to say, they went on for two more rounds that night.
The next morning, people at campus were shocked to see the two of them holding hands. It was so early in the morning and they decided to start it by showing a shameless amount of PDA. From what the people could conclude, the two of them were officially dating, if the holding hands and frequent touches weren’t enough then, Wei Ying, who was wearing Lan Zhan’s soft white cowl neck shirt that barely hid any of the love bites displayed on his neck, would be very enough to confirm it.
The two were having their lunch at the cafeteria, Wei Ying was cuddling close to his lover, and was about to feed him when a familiar complaining loud voice echoed through the cafeteria, "Wei Ying!"
"What is it, Jiang Cheng?" Wei Ying asks his grumpy little brother, with an obvious irritated tone.
"What do you mean 'what is it'?! Is it true that you two are dating?"
"Isn't it obvious? Unless you think that these," Wei Ying gestures to the numerous love bites on his neck, "are fake."
Jiang Cheng was about to complain more, when a meek yet sly figure interrupted him, "Jiang-xiong, let them be. Isn't it a relief that your brother finally dated the man he's had a crush on for, uh, five years or so?"
They hear Jiang Cheng click his tongue in agreement. Nie Huaisang averts his gaze from him and lands it on his bestfriend who looks so smitten and pampered. "Well, congratulations for completing the job and getting yourself a boyfriend, Wei Ying. See, isn't it wonderful that you didn't miss out on this opportunity?" Nie Huaisang winks at him.
At his choice of words, does Wei Ying finally realize a deeper meaning in it. "You–you planned this?!"
"Huh? What are you talking about, Wei-xiong? I don't know anything, I swear, I really don't know."
"Huaisang."
Nie Huaisang's phone vibrates, he checks on it and sees it's a call from his brother, Nie Mingjue. "Sorry to cut it short but da-ge's looking for me. Anyway, Lan-xiong, if you want some of Wei-xiong's picture in a maid outfit just ask, I have a ton of those!"
"Huaisang!"
"Mn, thank you, Nie Huaisang."
"Lan Zhan!" Wei Ying pouts at his lover who looks smug and interested.
"Jiang-xiong, come with me if you don't wanna be a third wheel between those two. Also, Wei-xiong, thanks for doing my favor, as promised I have those baby pictures that you asked for! Just ask for them whenever you want it! Bye!"
The couple was again, left alone on their own world. They shrugged and continued where they left off.
"Wei Ying, baby pictures?"
"Ahaha...you don't need to about that, Lan Zhan." Wei Ying answers with an uneasy smile. All of a sudden he feels a pair of strong arms snake around his waist, he leans onto his lover and reciprocates the hug.
He thought that it was a hug but it wasn't, Lan Zhan tickled at every spot he was ticklish at. "Will Wei Ying tell me now?"
"No–ahahahaha." Wei Ying laughed and giggled, doing his best to push his lover.
"Hm," Lan Zhan hums and continues to tickle him until he spills the answer.
