[He knows the feeling! This is horrifying. Zichen won't be quiet about this even after Xue Yang is safe.

Which he will be...right?]

Do I need to anger you? I should be good at that. [If love won't do, he will rely on rage.]

Re: voice

[ Xue Yang laughs a little as he leans back against the rock wall behind him. ]

Idiot. Why would that help?

Re: voice

[zichen]

Then you'll get up that waterfall to fight me.

[Is it sad that he would gladly embrace a fight?]

I never believed you could be beaten by any magic.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Another laugh leaves him at that. ]

I just need some rest. I promise, I'll come back to you. No way in hell am I staying in this shitty place.

Did you get in touch with the Admiral yet?

voice

[zichen]

[He feels a cold rock in his stomach - different from his usual chill.]

A-Yang, you just...have to keep trying. [There is one way for Xue Yang to return, but Zichen wants to avoid it at all cost.]

I'm sorry. I would jump off of this damn boat if I thought it would help.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

I will!

[ He smiles a little. ] You'd just get transported back. I think only the Admiral can let us off the ship.

voice

[zichen]

And you know...what brings us back. You know what brought us here in the first place.

[Please don't make him say it.]

A-Yang...

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Xue Yang frowns. He really wishes that he could hold his Zichen right now... ]

Zichen... I'm not going to die.

voice

[zichen]

I - I don't want you to. [His voice breaks and tears run down his cheeks.] I need you.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Xue Yang's heart aches a little hearing Song Lan like that... ]

I promise. I'll come back to you.

voice

[zichen]

I have...something important...to tell you too. [It feels more important than ever.]

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ It does, but Xue Yang wants to be face to face when he says it. ]

I really wish I was with you right now...

voice

[zichen]

[But... What if Xue Yang dies?]

I'm with you. My thoughts...my heart...are with you.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ He won't! He refuses! ]

I feel it. [ He smiles and takes a deep breath. ]

Okay, I'm gonna try to fly up the waterfall. Wish me luck!

voice

[zichen]

[Good! Keep refusing!]

Good luck, my A-Yang. Fuxue won't fail you.

[He has never depended on Fuxue so much!]

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

It better not!

[ Xue Yang pulls Fuxue from his qiankun sleeve and slowly, carefully steps onto the blade. After a brief moment, the sword starts to fly up. ]

I'm going up!

voice

[zichen]

He will respond to you.

[Without a doubt. Zichen grabs onto the railing of the Barge, his nails digging in.]

Hold on. Get to the top.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ It does feel good that Fuxue actually responds to him! Some sword spirits can be picky and temperamental, after all. ]

Hm? What is it?

[ He slowly glides up to the top of the waterfall. ]

voice

[zichen]

Hold onto Fuxue. [Zichen shakes his head, flustered and amused.] Get back to me, imp.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

I am!

[ Xue Yang giggles a little. ]

I'm coming back to you! You better believe it. This place fucking sucks! I want a bath and some sweets, and our bed... And I want you.

voice

[zichen]

You better.

[As if his anger can do anything in this situation. But it's all he has.]

You'll have all three and more, I promise you. If you think you were spoiled before, you are mistaken.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Xue Yang grins. Listening to Song Lan is a nice distraction from how anxious he actually is deep down. ]

Oh yeah? Tell me how you're gonna spoil me. [ The sword finally reaches the top of the waterfall and gently takes him down onto the rocks. ]

voice

[zichen]

[Zichen laughs at the question, the sound deep and amused. Of course Xue Yang wants it put into words. Of course.]

First, a hot bath and a massage.

Re: voice

[bringingdowndisaster]

[ Of course he does! It's a nice distraction, and it keeps him motivated. He also just likes to listen to Song Lan speak. ]

Oh, that sounds so nice. I'm so fucking stiff right now, and not in the fun way.

voice

[zichen]

[Then he will talk until he can't anymore. He will talk until Xue Yang is safe in his arms again.]

I will warm you up. Then you will rest with our cats and I until you get your strength back.
