I don't get you, sometimes. You'll casually break open someone's ribcage in a public space and suck the jelly out like fruit, but somehow this is too much.
[Jing Yuan laughs, light and sunny, free of the melancholy haze that usually surrounds him. He's having a good day. All his people are here and it feels almost like home.]
[But never let it be said that Dan Feng is a coward, so he lifts a hand to
Okay. The hand pauses. Dan Feng's face flames. He's right; though Dan Feng doesn't remember some of it, his braincells too dredged in mara, they had fucked in that gore made of them, and that was really, incredibly, hot, and now his hand is groping at Yingxing's pec, when did that happen???]
Nnngh. [Dan Feng says intelligently. His eyes stray down to Yingxing's crotch, and he licks his lips.] I. [He can't say it he will die help.]
[She keeps apologizing for things she really doesn't need to apologize for... he just shakes his head and offers her a smile.]
Bedroom it is, then.
[He'll lead her to one of the bedrooms-- one with a makeshift futon slash nest tucked in a corner, a bucket of tools that have clearly been recently used near the slightly weathered windowsill. It's... not entirely certain who is residing here, since Dan Heng has mostly been sleeping in his study when he's not getting dragged into Dan Feng's nest.
Honestly he'll probably end up moving it soon enough, or ceding it to someone else.] Have a seat.
[ yingxing does not see how it is at all different. what a freak!!
but he won't argue it for the moment, not when dan feng's hand is on him, his eyes flicking south momentarily. a low chuckle rolls from his throat like a purr, and yingxing lifts one hand from its perch on the stone to curl his knuckles beneath dan feng's chin, lifting it. ]
Having trouble with your words, there? [ he teases, but he can't help the way his expression softens a little, looking into those arresting eyes. ] .. you're so fucking beautiful, do you know that?
She flusters, but shifts enough to get her back a little more towards him, tugging her shirt up just enough to bare the place her lower wings connect to the skin and the soft feathers that line her lower back. ]
Um-- wherever you're most comfortable. It's hardest for me to reach the back easily, so...
[ yingxing is capable of great thirst, but alas for the lizards, his work is his first wife.. he is committed to making everything he touches as perfect as possible. but he sets to work anyway, carefully sliding the beam into place. ]
Right, so just hold this in place while I secure it, then we'll take a break.
Do you think I do not hear that sort of platitude often?
[He scoffs, and he maintains eye contact, but he's betrayed by the way his ears bounce. Yingxing, in those faded memories, had never quite called him beautiful, even if he alluded to such - all four of them did. Dan Feng's face was just that divinely attractive.
Also.
He might have a praise kink. Which he didn't know he had. Maybe it was a Yingxing thing. Fuck. This insufferable bastard.]
[ he'd know it even if dan feng's ears hadn't given him away. smile lopsided, yingxing runs his thumb over dan feng's lower lip, plush and soft beneath his calluses. ]
You gave me this heart, after all. You couldn't bear to be without me. Is that so hard to admit?
[HOW CAN YOU JUST SAY SHIT LIKE THAT????????????? Dan Feng blinks up at him, caught off guard, and he tries to turn his face away because his eyes are watering.]
Typical of you to think you are worthy of such devotion.
[But his hands are already coming up to curl loosely at Yingxing's elbows, keeping him where he is. What point is denying it? There wasn't. But Dan Feng doesn't know how to deal with the opportunity of having Yingxing here and having the mental capacity to feel the enormity of love that he has for this man.]
