[ghostlord]

It's good to return to my former splendor. I know not to bite the hand that feeds me, but being treated as less than an honest Lord plucked at my ego.

[Is he being honest or just overly dramatic? It's hard to tell over text!]

Now, children, I want you to return to your studies. Read everything you can get your hands on, listen, listen to even the must mundane things and share. I know you will do your best and make your father proud.

[...father? Is that him? The drama continues!]

[Oh he will. The old monster can't stay away from Zhou Zishu! Kexing can't blame Baiyi for liking Zishu, but he can blame him for finding him unworthy. How dare he!

The warm weight on his back makes him grin and he turns his head just a little more to return the kiss.]

He knows too. The old monster, I mean. He thinks I'm a bad match for you!

[fated_dance]

[ Wen Kexing is the only one worthy of Zhou Zishu.

Zishu chuckles quietly and nudges their noses together as he enjoys the closeness. ]

Tch. Then he's a fool.

[ghostlord]

I think so too! [He whispers enthusiastically, eyes bright with determination...and mischief.]

He just doesn't understand how much I love A-Xu and what I will do for him. He thinks I'm going to use you, probably.

But I wouldn't! Not A-Xu.

[fated_dance]

[ Oh how he loves that mischief! ]

I know you wouldn't. You are nothing like my cousin.

[ghostlord]

That thing? [Yes. Thing.] He had A-Xu willing and able and he ruined it. He should thank the gods we haven't met.

[fated_dance]

[ He smirks and kisses his soulmate. ]

Ah. He should be grateful for that fact.

[ghostlord]

Funny, I'm not hearing his prayers. He should be screaming them to the heavens.

[Not that he will show mercy even if he can hear him. There is a dangerous tilt to his smirk.]

[fated_dance]

He is too much a fool to know it.

[ His Lao Wen's danger is aimed at others. Those who deserve it. ]

Lao Wen. There is no need to continue speaking of someone unworthy. Come, we've gathered enough for now. Let's get these plants in a better place.

[ghostlord]

A-Xu... [He breathes and barely contains a small smile.] Why is it I can't stay in a bad mood when I'm around you?

[Kexing snorts and snuggles back against Zishu.]

Do you want to ride on my back?

[fated_dance]

[ He resists the laugh for all of a breath before laughing softly and curls around his love. ]

Because I am with you.

[ No matter what!

Zishu grins. ]

Yes.

[ghostlord]

I can't argue with that! [Kexing reaches back and grabs onto Zishu's thighs. Then he lifts him with a broad smile.]

Hold on, A-Xu. I'll take care of the rest.

[fated_dance]

[ He snickers and shamelessly settles on his love's back, legs wrapping around Kexing's waist and arms hooking around his shoulders. He rests his chin on Kexing's shoulder. ]

Take us home, Lao Wen~

[ghostlord]

[Thoroughly amused, he stands and begins to walk, obviously enjoying the contact. He sneaks kisses to Zishu's cheek every few steps, grinning.]

I bet I can find some little pots for our new friends.

[fated_dance]

[ Zishu grins and steals his own kisses! Even better if he distracts his silly love~ ]

Of course you can.

[ghostlord]

[Kexing tilts his head, offering his neck. Well if Zishu insists~]

If we grow them ourselves, we won't have to root around in odd places.

You've only overcome one malady. I don't want you catching another!

[fated_dance]

[ His gaze softens at the offer and immediately nuzzles and nibbles along that elegant neck. ]

Ah. All the better.

[ He nips playfully sharper at the last bit. ]

Who says I'll catch another?

[ghostlord]

[Little shivers follow and his ears grow warm. And red. His A-Xu always feels good!

Then he stumbles a step. He laughs suddenly.]

I walked into that trap~

[And he will do so again and again and again!]

Me. You've got bad luck, A-Xu. I can even it out if you take care of yourself!

[fated_dance]

[ He grins and nuzzles those cute red ears. Then licks the tip just to torment his beloved. ]

My Lao Wen takes good care of me. I'd say finding him again is all the good luck I really need.

[ghostlord]

[He lets out a soft moan and wavers again, wrinkling his nose. This is a slow torture! Of the best kind!]

My soulmate. My A-Xu. I survived just to see you again, I know it.

[fated_dance]

[ Smirking at the moan, he breathes over damp skin and tightens his hold on his love in mimicry of what they could be doing at home. ]

And then you saved me.

[ghostlord]

[...and his steps speed up, losing their clumsiness! There are things they could be doing, aren't there? How silly of him to forget!]

I wouldn't have had to if your cousin wasn't such a beast. Give me a day with him and I'll have him apologizing profusely on his knees.

[fated_dance]

[ He laughs softly at his adorable love. ]

You would need a whole day? Lao Wen. Give me one moment and I'll have him begging.

[ghostlord]

You go too fast, A-Xu. I would break his mind long before I broke his body.

[All of it would be drawn out, too. Hours of waiting and then a haunting befitting a ghost.]

[fated_dance]

[ Ah. His expression softens and he kisses his love's cheek. ]

I want to watch.

[ghostlord]

[He climbs the steps leading to their rooms, smiling under the gentle pressure.]

You can have a very comfortable seat! I'm always open to critique too.
