[eggshell]

[rounding on jing yuan, putting a hand gently on his forearm.]

You - ! [he gives dan heng a determined look.] Jing Yuan! You should be ashamed of yourself! Did you not court him properly?! This is highly inappropriate-

[he starts ranting. you see, dan feng is a born and bred traditionalist.]

And you! [gesturing with his other hand at dan heng.] You should not be consorting without- without-

[lifeban]

[wait

hold on

sorry

little bitch mode engaged]

Without what?

[lionsleeps]

[Jing Yuan reacts to this scolding by flopping backwards onto the bed and wheezing.

Help. They're both adorable.]

[eggshell]

[dan feng makes a sound that’s remarkably like the audible keysmash that dan heng made earlier.

he kind of. looms? at the edge of the bed? IS THIS A DEN OF SIN?????]

Have you made your bows? Listen to me!

[lifeban]

Do you really think I'm marriageable?

[lionsleeps]

[He may be blind but he's got a strong enough sense of his immediate surroundings to find a part of both of them to pinch.]

Honestly, you two.

[He's still amused, but he supposed he may as well be the grownup here...]

Dan Feng, we are neither married nor lovers of any kind. Sharing a bed is no different than sharing a bunk on the field, you know. And you shouldn't complain, given I moved into Dan Heng's room because you were prowling outside my window.

And as for Dan Heng, you are very much marriageable! If you continue to put yourself down I shall force you to stand in the middle of the green and recite your virtues five hundred times.

[eggshell]

[jing yuan catches him by the arm, and it startles dan feng enough that off-balances and just barely misses crushing dan heng with his weight. he favors jing yuan with an annoyed look that yingxing is the usual recipient of.]

Oh. [uhhhh. scooting to the very edge of the bed.] I apologize for any skulking. [his tail does poke dan heng’s, unsure.]

Dan Heng. Objectively you are a man with attractive qualities, even if you have the most annoying tendency to ignore your own well-being. [sorry he is bad at this.] Cease your self-flagellation.

[lifeban]

[wait this was not the plan

cheek pinched, since jy has a very solid idea of where he is.]

...

Anyway, we're not fucking.

[tail paffs dan feng's.]

[lionsleeps]

That is correct. Can you both behave now?

[eggshell]

Do not be so crude.

[he huffs at dan heng, and then proceeds to manhandle dan heng’s tail so he can twine his own with it. jing yuan gets polite dan feng. you get overbearing predecessor dan feng.]

I have been quite well-behaved, thank you. The past few hours, at least. [a pause.] May I touch your face, Jing Yuan?

[lifeban]

It's better to be direct.

[stubbornly, like he didn't also let dan feng work himself up for a bit. his ears burn, with the TAIL TWINING, but he doesn't struggle, as he is far too busy doing emotional and instinctive calculus about that particular gesture.]

I didn't realise it was my turn 😭

[lionsleeps]

You may, but why?

[His face is still hurty... He's scooting up close to them both though. Dragons for lion plz.]

FISHPET

[eggshell]

[dan feng gently cradles jing yuan’s jaw, holding him in place, as he looks the injuries over. the urge to kiss the crown of jing yuan’s head is all-consuming for the five seconds he spends just staring jing yuan in his sightless eyes, and he sighs, before giving in and doing it anyway.

jing yuan’s hair is too fluffy to know if he feels it or not, and it’s not like dan feng has experience to draw from… he’d seen baiheng do it a lot. she does it to him too, to his consternation.

his face is very red when he draws back.]

I am sorry that you both experienced such adversity.

another smaller fishpet

[lifeban]

[raising. an eyebrow. right at dan feng. dan heng is still blushing, but, my dude. come on.

still, this does not keep him from squirming closer for lioncuddles.]

Re: another smaller fishpet

[lionsleeps]

[Between Dan Feng & Bladex2 there are so many injuries... But he's taking it in stride. Mostly.

He can feel Dan Feng lean in, and sorta feel the headkiss, but it takes a couple of seconds for him to register what it was.

He tilts his head, in genuine curiosity instead of the usual mean girl attitude, and... touches his own head... It's a very "???????" gesture, and now all three of then are flushed.]

Dan Feng...? Now what was that about?

[eggshell]

[dan feng gives dan heng a supremely bitchy look, which he is very good at. and dan heng is probably very good at it too, but screw you. he yanks at dan heng’s tail for good measure.]

… nothing. [he lets go of jing yuan’s face, feeling awkward.] Anyway.

[lifeban]

[squawks?! if dan feng was hoping for subtlety, he should have considered dan heng is not used to having a physical tail (a detail he may not even know)!]

[lionsleeps]

...Are you two flirting when I can't see?

[eggshell]

[dan feng squawks in the exact same way dan heng did ten seconds ago.]

What? I am- I do not- I- He is my successor, that is inappropriate—-

[he makes a faint dying sound.] He has my face!

[lifeban]

[give him a moment to just gape at jing yuan like a particularly fancy fish. not that jing yuan can see it.

then, in a dubious tone:]

He pulled my tail.

[JING YUAN IS THAT FLIRTING? HE NEEDS TO KNOW?]

[lionsleeps]

[Aeons. Blindness is the worst thing ever right now??? He wants to see their expressions!!]

As we established, it is a handsome face. Flirting would be a reasonable decision, and rough-housing is a fun way to do it.

[eggshell]

I do not flirt. And I would not do it with such an unmannerly brat.

[yeah that tail tho… still twined and everything… yeah…]

[lifeban]

[considering......

considering......

pulls df's tail.]

[lionsleeps]

[...oblivious to Dan Heng's crimes....]

Oh? But I believe I've heard stories of you being a difficult child.

[eggshell]

Cease, Jing Yuan.

[dan feng can’t help it: he growls, in a way he’d only done as a, yes, difficult child - when he was too young to be taught etiquette, and he wanted to be paid attention to, to be played with.

he tugs at dan heng’s tail again. abandons all propriety to crawl over jing yuan’s legs - their tails wound together now within touching distance - and swipes at dan heng’s fluffy head.]
