NIGHT 2/DAY 3 - ONE LAST TIME

[eggshell]

NIGHT 2

[eggshell]

[dan feng may or may not be carting one (1) little bastard who somehow insists on looking for supplies while RECOVERING FROM INJURY back into his house]

Re: NIGHT 2

[lifeban]

[the little bastard knows better than to struggle but he is being dead weight about it,]

Re: NIGHT 2

[lionsleeps]

[Jing Yuan is still FUCKIN BLIND but he's gotten ready for bed and is now being a loser sitting around waiting for Dan Heng to come back. He can't text/call him because his EYES DO NOT WORK.

And then they come in.]

Dan Heng? Is that you?

[eggshell]

Your capability for impertinence is astounding.

[says dan feng as he sweeps into the room, fighting the urge to drop dan heng on the floor and Be Done with Him.]

Jing Yuan. I caught him overexerting himself.

[lifeban]

It's not far.

[he says, in the most petulant fucking tone]

[lionsleeps]

Again? Really, Dan Heng...

[He's so unimpressed.]

[eggshell]

[sit down and take your old grandpa scolding like a man]

It is far when you consider it has not even been a day since you were impaled. Insolent creature.

[sets him down at the foot of jing yuan’s bed though.]

[lifeban]

I just want to help.

[pouty.

the worst part is it's dan heng's bed. he has been escorted to his own room that is now Their Room like the scruffed kitten he is. damnit.

carefully easing himself up the bed.]

[lionsleeps]

[You invited him to move in, Dan Heng. This is all on you.

It's just funny that they're like this when the whole point of consolidating was trying to hide from Dan Feng.]

You can help by staying here and looking after the rest of us.

[Jing Yuan scoots over to make room, and very gently swats whichever part of Dan Heng he happens to be closest to.]

[eggshell]

[he is really carefully not looking at either of them for Some Reason?]

That is inappropriate.

[lifeban]

[pausing

to just

Look. at him.]

[lionsleeps]

Sleeping fully clothed? Why Dan Feng, how charmingly pure of you. And here the Dan Feng I knew was almost certainly doing far more inappropriate things with someone...

DAY 3 (MORNING)

[eggshell]

[dan feng opens his eyes to a ceiling he doesn't know and to a feeling of incredible wrongness. this is, however, how he has woken up about half his life so far so it's not that different; what is different, here, is the two other companions he has.]

Re: DAY 3 (MORNING)

[lionsleeps]

[They're all piled into this bed that barely fits them, nice and snug. Jing Yuan is snuggled close, too, his good arm flopped over Dan Feng's chest and his face against his shoulder. A soft lion.]

Re: DAY 3 (MORNING)

[lifeban]

[tucked against jing yuan in turn, a tail looped over the both of them, is dan heng. this bed really isn't big enough for two people, let alone a giant like the general plus two high elders, so he's essentially velcroed to jing yuan's back, forehead pressed to his shoulderblade like it can protect him from drowning in fluff.]

[eggshell]

[his own tail, too, is somehow draped over the two occupants of the bed. dan feng cannot remember the last time he’d woken up so warm.

so he turns. squirms around in this too-small bed until he can face jing yuan, watching the sleep-slack face of his beloved. he’s never been up this close either, and he’s spellbound by their proximity.]

[lionsleeps]

[It's a very pretty sleeping face, although it's still marred by the injuries Dan Feng himself caused. Most importantly, it's peaceful -- Jing Yuan isn't used to sleeping beside anyone, but the scent of Imbibitor Lunae is such a comfort he can't help but feel safe, off in happy dreams.]

[lifeban]

[dan heng has, occasionally, been kidnapped into march's bed, so sleeping tucked up against another isn't entirely foreign to him, but it did take a little adjustment to settle into sharing a bed with jing yuan, when he was firmly denied the floor on that first night.

still, he seems pretty well out of it now.]

[eggshell]

[what a nice, peaceful morning.

dan feng lifts his head a little bit. twines his tail gently with dan heng’s, across jing yuan. sinks back down, into the warmth, luxuriating in their combined scents.

and then he leans in to slot his and jing yuan’s mouths together, in the same way he’d done centuries ago, in the same way he’d seeded jing yuan with the mara than ran through him then.]

[lionsleeps]

[The worst part, in retrospect, will be that for a few brief seconds in the haze between sleeping and waking, Jing Yuan kisses back. What a nice dream, says a foggy thought in the back of his mind. A dream he's had for seven hundred years.

But then his body registers that the contact is real and he jerks away with a gasp, sitting up all at once with a bright red face. Too bad for Dan Heng, who most likely gets shoved off of the bed entirely. At least Jing Yuan can see now?]

Wh-- Dan Feng! What is the meaning of this!?

[lifeban]

[dan heng's tail winds pleasantly with his predecessor's in his sleep, accepting this additional layer of skinship.

and then he's shoved off the bed with a thump and a yelp, that cute tailhold wrenching free abruptly.]

[eggshell]

[this room has no windows, but now dan feng knows where it is in the house layout. knows that there is one way into it. one way out.

and his side of the bed is the one closest to the door.

dan feng had taken his hair down, before sleeping, and it falls over his shoulders as he sits up, too. sleep-rumpled is, unfortunately, a very good look on him.]

Do you not want me? [he cants his head in dan heng's direction.] Look at what you did to A-Heng.

[lionsleeps]

[Dan Feng is so beautiful it makes his heart clench painfully. "Do you not want me?", he asks, as if Jing Yuan has ever wanted anyone more.

But that was a different time, and a different Dan Feng. This Dan Feng is frightening, and Jing Yuan does not want him at all.]

Dan Heng is fine, and you're disgusting.

[Jing Yuan grumbles, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He glances at Dan Heng, at Dan Feng, and at the door... The gears are turning.]

[lifeban]

[speaking of Dan Heng, he's picking himself up off the floor to squint over the edge of the bed at both of them.

an expression that begins as petulant indignation visibly slips more into wariness.]

What happened?
