[He notices when that warm wetness touches his nose, but he doesn't comment just yet. He's not too far off from tears himself, when he can feel so much from that kiss -- he can't read it precisely, but there's a tenderness and love there he wasn't sure actually existed til now. Dan Feng says he loves him, but his madness makes his actions so painful and erratic that a part of Jing Yuan has remained convinced that any love here is his own foolish delusion.

He has no doubt now, and that both highlights the wrongness between them and makes it certain that Jing Yuan will never, ever be able to truly let go. That love binds him more tightly than any physical chain could.

He's not sure how to express that, or if he even should. For now, he just puts as much warm and gentle affection into the kiss as he can, as he rocks his hips up into Dan Feng until there's no space left between them at all.]
