He's mine. You can't have him! Stop trying to hurt him or take him away from me. I won't let you.

Do you understand? Let me say it slower: I won't let you.

[Is he being recorded? Technology is out to get him, obviously.]

I kept his spirit in a pouch, you know. I never let that pouch out of my sight. I hung it around my neck under my robes and I could feel him flutter...

Almost like a little bird. He's mine and I will protect him.

If you wanna kill someone, kill me. Just...get it over with. Stop playing with your food, it's embarrassing.

[Xue Yang kisses Xingchen's nose and his cheeks. Then he wiggles until his Daozhang is resting against him, nice and safe.]

At least there isn't a food shortage.

[bright_moon]

[ He hums quietly and shyly shifts until their legs tangle together. ]

Same with for your sweets.

[ Because of course he's managed to return to that habit of leaving a sweet for Xue Yang every morning~ ]

[cultivatingsin]

[Xue Yang grabs the blankets and tucks them in, checking Xingchen's hands to make sure he isn't cold.]

The ones you pick for me are always the sweetest.

[bright_moon]

[ Xue Yang will find his hands a little cold, but they warm up soon after those blankets are draped over them. Xingchen kisses him in silent thanks.

Then again...because Xue Yang's lips are unfairly soft and sweet! ]

I like finding new ones for you to try.

[cultivatingsin]

[Xue Yang rubs those chilled hands and ghosts his breath over them. He grins into the kiss and tucks Xingchen's hands against his chest.]

Nothing can rival your lips.

[bright_moon]

[ His cheeks pink and he tucks his face against Xue Yang's neck. ]

You're teasing me again.

[ Not that he minds! And the denial is habit. ]

[cultivatingsin]

[His heart skips in his chest and he swallows with difficulty. Tipping his head back, he enjoys the contact. Thoroughly.]

I would never. How many times have I told you, silly A-Chen?

[bright_moon]

[ His smile presses against Xue Yang's neck. ]

I like when you tease me, A-Yang.

[cultivatingsin]

[Xue Yang lets his hands wander a little, his eyes lidding as he takes in Xiao Xingchen's slender, graceful lines.]

I tease you because you're cute.

[bright_moon]

[ He hums quietly, relaxing under those gentle hands. ]

How am I cute?

[cultivatingsin]

[He had no idea he could be gentle! But it comes naturally with Xiao Xingchen and his cute face.]

Well you're gorgeous, but you don't know you're gorgeous, so that makes you cute.
