[eternallywandering]

[He loves them too. With the plate set to the side, he can really nestle against his soulmate. Little kisses will find their way to Kexing's neck.]

I'll share with you. [Zishu takes the bottle and pulls out the cork, offering Kexing the first sip.] Do you want a big family, my Lao Wen? One that's loud and happy?

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He's besotted with his soulmate, as is only natural! He tilts his head in a way to welcome those kisses and he wraps an arm around his beloved. He beams at the offer and happily takes a sip. ]

It's good wine, too!

[ Kexing nudges the bottle back to Zishu and thinks about that. ]

We should have many children. A big family. Happy...and safe. Each one will know they won't be abandoned ever again.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[More kisses will come! Zishu understands that he can't deny Kexing anything. He also knows that he can trust his soulmate with his deepest secrets - no matter how disgusting they might be. Kexing still smiles for him...still loves him.]

Is it? [He takes a swig of it too and sighs, liking the effect as it warms his throat and then his chest.]

No... No one will abandon them. [Those words captivate him and he wraps an arm around his lover's waist.] Why couldn't I have been there for you, love? I would've fought them all.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ Zishu puts up with how wildly Kexing's moods and thoughts can fluxuate, even now that the Waters he'd drunk as a child have mostly been nullified. This is something Kexing will never take for granted, and does his best to make sure Zishu knows how fiercely and completely he's loved. And really, compared to his own secrets...are Zishu's that much worse?

He nuzzles his love's cheek again at that sigh and snuggles him close. ]

You would have been if you'd known.

[ He tucks his head in against Zishu's neck. ]

You're here with me now, that's what matters.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[If anyone understands a fractured mind - a fractured soul - it's Zhou Zishu. When Kexing is obviously upset, he doesn't shy from him; he doesn't leave him to his nightmares. He stays close and waits, patiently, for his love to turn to him. They are one and he won't let anyone hurt his soulmate anymore.

That's why Kexing's death had gutted him. Finally he had found him and he had waited too long to tell him how he felt.

There are many things Zishu should regret, but that... That stands out from the rest.]

Without a doubt. [He nuzzles and breathes in Kexing's scent, happy to be in his arms.] I had a dream... When I was younger, I had a friend... I liked him so much that I gave him my puppy. I don't know why I started thinking about him after all this time.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ And Kexing always returns to him. Even when they're apart, his thoughts are on his beloved.

He hums at the nuzzling and snuggles in, tucking himself as close as he can get to the sheltering heat that is his beloved. ]

That boy loved you...very much. That gift hasn't been forgotten.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

...Lao Wen? [Zishu whispers in awe, shifting so he can hold his lover with both arms. The wine is forgotten.

Could that little boy be - ? And then...

Well he knows what happened. He doesn't care if his beloved fusses, though he doubts he will: Zishu pulls him back into his lap. With his heart hammering in his ears, he keeps his touches soft.]

I loved you then, too. So much.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He can only breathe because of those sheltering arms. He doesn't care about...anything at the moment but curling into his love's lap when pulled in and tucks his face in against Zishu's neck to take a deep breath. He can feel how fast his soulmate's heart beats and strokes gentle hands over his back to try and calm it, worry wrapping around him and squeezing. ]

I know, A-Xu. I've always known.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[His heart is racing because... One of them came back. One of his precious loved ones...his family...returned to him. Zishu inhales shakily and holds Kexing tight, so amazed that he is unaware of the tears in his eyes. Or how they spill down his cheeks and dampen his lover's robes.]

I can't say...if you had stayed...

I don't know. You might have died too.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He draws in a startled breath and lifts his head, coming out of those dark memories a bit. Enough to see those tears...and he starts kissing them away as he slowly understands his beloved's fear. ]

I'm with you now. I'm not going to leave ever again.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[The soft lips help quiet his guilt and he rubs over Kexing's back and sides, swallowing against the lump in his throat.]

No wonder you're so cute. [He means it as a tease, but he remembers the sweet little face of his friend. What sort of monster could harm him?]

I kept hoping you survived somewhere, but I never knew.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ Those wonderful hands help him remember to breathe as he kisses over that poor wet face, occasionally brushing over soft lips before moving back up to those tears. ]

I died and became a ghost, A-Xu. You're the one who brought me back to life.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[He leans into every kiss, returning them. Cupping one of Kexing's cheeks, he steals a kiss of his own. His Lao Wen is alive. This is no ghost that he holds in his arms.]

Then stay alive with me. I won't lose sight of you again. You were my treasure then and you are my treasure now.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ Each kiss helps chase away the chill of memories. He leans into his love's hand and nuzzles it. Nothing can get him in Zishu's arms. He flushes at being told he'd been this man's treasure when they were children...and that he is just that now. ]

Gladly. I promised you forever and I mean that. You are my life, Zhou Zishu. Wherever you go, I will follow.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[It's nothing but the truth. As children, he had opened his life and shared everything. As adults, he is willing to do that again, but with the addition of them being in love.]

And you are mine. [His smile has more strength and the next kiss he gives his soulmate is firmer.] Wen Kexing, I pledge myself to you.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ So very deeply, completely in love.

He can only melt when he's told he belongs to this man and he presses into that kiss with more fervor and need, eyes fluttering closed with a little moan. ]

Mm...I still want a pretty little ceremony where we say vows in red~

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[His lips part to welcome that need and he brushes his tongue against his beloved's, reassuring them both that this is a fire that will last. Zishu has never felt anything this strong nor has he ever been this sure.]

You'll have it. But for now, you get my vows and firelight.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He moans again as their tongues slowly dance and he presses closer as he lets that fire warm him inside and out. Even when the kiss breaks, he rests their heads together as they catch their breath. ]

I give myself to you, Zhou Zishu. All of myself.

[ His voice sounds shaky and heavy with emotion even to his own ears. ]

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[He possessively captures that sound, swallowing it, making it something for his ears only. Nipping and teasing his beloved's lips and tongue until he starts to feel dizzy, Zishu melts as they part, leaning against Kexing. His breath catches and he grins giddily at the return of his vow.]

I love you. You are my heart, my soul and my family. I don't care where we go as long as you are with me.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ He shudders at that reaction, wiggling in Zishu's lap as his lips and tongue swell under that attention and he can't help (doesn't care to try) panting for breath and beaming giddily. ]

I feel the same way, love.

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[He strokes over Kexing's chest, nuzzling their lips together after the kiss ends. The adorable panting has him beaming in return. His beloved is stunning when he's happy.]

You've been so good to me. Then again, that's always been the case.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ Kexing sighs happily and presses against that hand to his chest, lifting a hand to hold it there as he smiles softly into his soulmate's eyes. ]

We belong together. Now we have more chances, and can heal you. One day your senses will return and your strength will be only equal to mine.

[ So there's a little haughty tease or challenge in that statement. He knows his husband is just as strong as he is. ]

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[He finds Kexing's heartbeat and his palm settles there, trying to match each breath...each beat. It's surprisingly easy and he smiles once he manages it.]

You are mighty. I do love watching you fight. [And he loves fighting him even more. It's...more like a dance between them.] Sharpen your fan, love. You'll get your wish soon.

[Action]

[flirtatiousdancer]

[ It helps him calm as well, and he smiles softly as he watches Zishu matches his breathing.

Only to smirk at the next. ]

We haven't fought in a while. I want you a little stronger before I attack next~ [ He loves their dance-fights. ]

[Action]

[eternallywandering]

[That little smirk gives him ideas and he reaches for the wine, taking another swig.]

Maybe you should tell me how you want me? For the fight, of course.
