#xicheng At some point of their life almost everyone has the desire of being rich or famous, not realizing the responsibilities this may bring. Jiang Cheng as the heir of a multinational company knew this ,
he was still 23 years old but it was on his nature to worry about things that still didn't happen.

He didn't want to disappoint his parents again, with a tradition of big cat shifters running on the family it was a shock when his revealed form was the one of a domestic cat
a silver gray Maine Coon. A big cat but still little compared to big felines.  Despite his family saying to him that it was okay,he still felt this as his first big failure to them. This sentiment increased when his father adopted his brother, a black panther shifter.
When the pressure was too much for him, he turned on his cat form and wandered aimlessly on the streets. In one of his night  strolls rain caught him off guard, he was trying to seek shelter in the threshold of a house when an umbrella covered him from the rain
"I'm not going to hurt you. Do you want to come home with me? " The man holding the umbrella kneeled in front of him , asking him as if he really could answer him.

Even in as a cat Jiang Cheng could recognize that this man was very good looking,
warm eyes the color of cristalized honey with small dots of green and golden around the irises and a smile so candid that made him to purr when the stranger massaged the spot between his ears.
The first thing the stranger did when they reached his home was to pick up a towel and dried his coat with it " Did you scape from home? You don't have an identification plate but you are so pretty to be a stray cat. Tomorrow I'll print a poster with your photo"
There was no need for that , Jiang Cheng left the house as soon as the man fall asleep. He felt so good that night  that despite his better judgement he shifted and went to the house frequently , enjoying extremely when this stranger groomed his fur
the times he used a cord to play with him.

In one of those plays JC accidentally scratched Lan Xichen's hand, he felt so guilty that he didn't want to continue playing but Lan Xichen told him it was okay "it didn't hurt" .
He carefully put his paw over the wound, trying to soothe the pain
"you are such a good and intelligent cat" Lan Xichen complimented him.

Jiang Cheng believed it was stupid form his part to start liking Lan Xichen ,the other man didn't know about his existence
And in the slightly case that happened Jiang Cheng was sure he would be disappointed with his harsh personality. Too sincere. Too blunt.

" I'll be gone for five days but the kitchen window will be open for you" Lan Xichen felt stupid for talking with a cat
but he really believed he understood him. He was so used to Koshka, the name he had given to the cat. It left him with a strange sensation when he didn't see him for more than a week.

Jiang Cheng take Lan Xichen's offer , every night he went to the flat.
One day he was so comfortable he thought about sleeping on the couch on his human form but refrained from do it because he felt it as taking advantage of Lan Xichen's hospitality.

He settled himself on the sofa with that thought in mind but didn't shift.
Lan Xichen gasped in surprise when he saw a naked man sleeping comfortly on his living room " a third" was his first thought but watching around his house noted nothing was missing.

" Why is he naked? How did he break into his house without setting off the alarms?"
He dropped his suitcase, steering his steps on the direction of his bedroom . Minutes after he returned with a soft blanket, his eyes looking briefly on the  nudity in front of him before placing the duvet to cover him the stranger.

The thought of calling the police crossed his
Mind but the man seemed harmless, even if he was attacked Lan Xichen was confident of dealing with him without problem.
He took his time to appreciate the fine features of the man,his high cheekbones and and the small pointed nose that gave him a cherubic look paired with the soft curls of black hair.
Something about him looked familiar  but he was sure he had not seen him before ,a face like that it wouldn't be easy to forget.

Long eyelashes fluttered, signaling the man was returning from the land of dreams. Startled almond eyes looked at him with shock.
" What are you doing here?" You are supposed to return until tomorrow" Jiang Cheng  felt stupid making that question, he was the only one that shouldn't be here not Lan Xichen.
" This is my house. I should be the one doing that question. Don't you think that? How did you know I wouldn't be in my house? " .

Lan Xichen had many more questions but he was distracted by the man's alluring face .
Now that he was awake ,he could appreciate the deep blue of his eyes tinted with small specks of green .

"I'll explain everything but could you lend me some clothes? A t-shirt and boxers will be enough" he said sheepishly.
Lan Xichen scoffed at the confidence of this stranger, bossing him around on his own house. Yet he did was he was told.

"Here" Lan Xichen handed him a cup of tea "I'm all ears" He chastised himself for feeling pleased watching the other man wearing his clothes,
They had similar height but the stranger slender body frame made his shirt hung a little to low on his shoulders revealing part of his collarbone , alabaster skin so delectable he felt a primal urge to taste it "What is happening to you, Xichen. Focus. Focus" he repeated this
Mantra on his head.

" There isn't too much to explain, really.I'm Koshka" Jiang Cheng shrugged his shoulders "I let my guard down and I shifted to my human form without realizing"

"You are my Koshka?"Lan Xichen sounded so excited that his reaction took Jiang Cheng by surprise
" Why are you so happy? I could be a psycho"

"I have the feeling you aren't one. What's your name? "Lan Xichen came closer to him, sat on the same couch with a wide space left between them.

"Jiang Cheng.I'm so sorry for trespassing your house like this. It won't happen again"
" I granted permission to enter my house before leaving. It's okay. Tell me more about you Koshka"

" I have a name" Jiang Cheng said with a grumpy tone,pouting his lips. And Lan Xichen found the gesture adorable.

" Sorry Jiang Cheng. But for me you will always be my Koshka"
The shapeshifter tried not to blush hearing that and taming his mind to not going overboard ,believing something that it didn't exist. Lan Xichen is fond of his cat form not him.
This time was Lan Xichen turn to hear Jiang Cheng, whom for an inexplicable reason found easy to open up to the other man. When it was time to return to his home he shifted to his cat form, proving this way he was not lying to him.
He picked him up , leaving soft caresses on his fur" this doesn't change anything, you still can come here whenever you want"  he left a kiss on Jiang Cheng's head causing the cat to produce a thundering purr, showing how happy he was with the gesture and Lan Xichen's words.
His nights were spent watching movies and talking about diverse topics. Lan Xichen not so secretly enjoyed watching Jiang Cheng wearing his clothes.He found himself wishing to peeled off just a little bit where the shirt hung loose and expose more of Jiang Cheng's skin,
leaving a kiss over the soft slope of his shoulder or maybe dipping into his collarbone to leave a trail of kisses there. Jiang Cheng caught him staring but didn't say nothing about his creepy stares.
Nights were not enough and soon they shared more of their free time together,it was a natural thing happening between them like the steps of a waltz that had finally synchronized in a steady rythm.
They didn't need neither a big love confession, their dynamic made everything so simple for them. A kiss with the muffled sounds of the tv as a background and happy smiles confirming that sentiment was mutual.
It came as a second nature for Lan Xichen to close the gap between them and kissing Jiang Cheng thoroughly. Soft kisses to taste the sweetness coming from those luscious lips or hard bruising kisses when words failing to express how much he loved him .
And he loved when that pretty mouth pouted in a childish way or gasp his name in broken moans. He loved everything about Jiang Cheng. Period.
The first rays of sun filtered through the blinds giving the bedroom a warm golden glow that helped to enhance the beauty of the man lying next to him .

Although more than one year had passed since they agree to live together and this view greeted him every morning,
Lan Xichen still  couldn't believe his luck for  having such a wonderful, beautiful person like Jiang Cheng as his boyfriend. 

Jiang Cheng stirred from his sleep, taking a seated position before stretching his arms making a big yawn while doing it.
Like a big cat, Jiang Cheng denied fervently but  even on his human form he kept traits of his cat side.

" Good morning Koshka" was Lan Xichen morning greeting.
" Are you not tired of using that petname?" Jiang Cheng mumbled against his chest, laying almost all his body over him. Another thing Jiang Cheng loved doing was morning cuddling.
" Never. You will be forever my big and cute Koshka or I should say 'my beautiful kotehok' ? That suits you better, sometimes you behave like an angry kitten " He ignored the soft punch Jiang Cheng have him after hearing this
preferring to continue rubbing circle motions on Jiang Cheng's back  " Are you ready for your big day at the company?" Jiang Cheng would finally start working in one of the branch of his family business.
" I'm nervous as fuck but I'm ready?" Jiang Cheng looked at him with his big eyes , a shade of uncertainty shadowing his beautiful face.

" You are going to do an excellent job. I'll always be here for you. You already know that"

"Mmm. I love you"
" I love you too. Get up or you will be late on your first day. I'm going to make a delicious breakfast for you" 

Jiang Cheng beamed at him, even the most simple dishes tasted different coming from his boyfriend chefs hands. He pecked his lips and left for the bathroom.
Lan Xichen observed with adoring eyes how his t-shirt covered  partially Jiang Cheng's legs  maybe it is a fetish of him liking so much seeing his boyfriend wearing his clothes.
His life is full and complete, in the future a kid and a pet would make everything better but there was still time for that,on the meantime he would fully enjoy his adorable Koshka.

Thank you for reading. All this started because I was reading a Feline's Medicine book ,it has a list with the word cat in different languages. My brain thought about JC as a Maine Coon + LXC calling him affectionely Koshka ,the Russian word for cat.

This is how imagine cat JC.
