[Zishu has and will always admire his soulmate's strength. He is very protective of that strength too because he knows what it costs Kexing. His beloved is vibrant and fierce, showing the world a mask so it doesn't dare challenge him, but when they are like this, stripped bare, he sees beneath that mask. He sees a beautiful, fragile man who deserves all the love he can give.]

Then how can I disappoint him?

[He presses a kiss to Kexing's forehead and traces the muscles of his abdomen and is just about to caress his hips when his hands are drawn back to his lover's chest. To his heart.]

What can I do?

[Zishu presses closer and rests their foreheads together.]

I owe my life and my happiness to it. I will do anything to ease that ache.
