40 Chapter 40- The Wedding Nigh

Mei blinked at his lover... husband? Why was it that he'd only just gotten his head around them as a couple and now they'd just married? And why the hell did he feel as if it was real, rather than the grand joke that Yu Ban Shan had planned? His head felt fuzzy, and while part of it was due to the speed with which their relationship had progressed, the larger part was due to the bottle of champagne Xiao Nai had left in his car for them- further evidence that laosan and KO had colluded behind his back but with a good third of the bottle in him he couldn't really muster any more outrage.

The trip back to his suite had never felt longer, yet somehow, lying on his bed with fantasies about to become reality, it didn't seem to have taken very long at all.

While he'd been thinking- a process hampered by the alcohol- KO had stripped off his costume and wig, dumping them on the floor at the foot of the bed. Steam billowed from the open ensuite where he'd already turned the shower on, letting the water heat up. Without the wig and robes, the cosplay make up looked slightly incongruous and Mei giggled. Giggled? How strong was that champagne?

KO sighed as he looked at the slightly inebriated man lying on the bed with his hands over his mouth. As delicate as the wig and makeup had made him appear, there was, to KO's mind, still no denying Mei's masculinity. But drunk giggling? Not part of KO's plan for the night. He wanted his Mei completely sober and of sound mind for what he had planned.

First, a shower. Which actually, when he thought about it, meant first he needed to get his lover naked. It was a hard job but someone had to do it. (A/N: oh, I bet it is.
