[zichen]

Zichen strokes back Xue Yang's hair and kisses the top of his head.

"I did my best." he sits down too and offers Xue Yang a chocolate, "Someone needs to watch over you."

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang takes the piece of chocolate from Song Lan's fingers with his teeth and smiles. "You're good at it. I always feel safe with you."

[zichen]

Zichen swallows and looks down, shy at the graze of Xue Yang's lips and teeth against his fingers.

"I love you. Protecting you comes naturally." he then smirks, "I almost wish I could fly again."

Xue Yang chuckles warmly and kisses Song Lan's fingers. "You don't need wings for that. I love you too." He nuzzles into him and lets out a pleased little sigh.

[zichen]

"Mm true. Fuxue or Jiangzai could carry us." Zichen smiles helplessly and wraps Xue Yang in his arms, "I wish I could fly us away from the Barge. Maybe to the mountains or some place by a lake."

"Mm... that'd be nice." He tilts his head up and goes in for a kiss. "You just have to help Collins graduate, and then we can go wherever we want."

[zichen]

Zichen meets him halfway, cupping his face with his hands. He laughs, the sound a little pained.

"A-Yang, be patient with me. And him. He has a long road ahead."

[bringingdowndisaster]

Xue Yang smiles and lightly nips at Song Lan's lips. "I believe in you. If anyone can help him, it's you." Xue Yang had seen himself as a bit of a lost cause, but Song Lan has helped him so much...

[zichen]

"You are putting a lot of faith in me." Zichen kisses Xue Yang just for that, his courage bolstered, "I just don't know how to convince him that murdering...and wanting to murder...isn't natural for humans."

[bringingdowndisaster]

"You might not be able to convince him of that," Xue Yang says, "It's not like I was motivated by suddenly realizing that killing is wrong." He gives a wry smile. "I'm sure he knows that too, but if he doesn't have anything else going for him, lectures about morality aren't gonna convince him."

[zichen]

"What should I do then?" Zichen is a little at a loss, "If he doesn't want to see morality, what could convince him? I want to be kind to him, but if I'm too kind, he might kill again." he pulls Xue Yang's hands against his chest.

[bringingdowndisaster]

"Something personal. He has things he likes other than murder, right?" He rests his head on Song Lan's shoulder as he runs his hands along his broad chest. "And he likes you. Didn't you say he had a pet too? I wanted to change because I got to experience what it's like to be happy and to have someone I don't want to lose." He smiles up at Song Lan, tender and warm. "He needs a reason to change."

[zichen]

"Sometimes he likes me and other times he acts like he hates me." Zichen isn't upset about that; he expects it to some degree, but it does make reading Collins difficult, "His little pet is a hunter. I think he respects him because of that instinct."

With Xue Yang looking up at him like that, he can't stay worried, however. Bending down, he kisses the younger man and hugs him close.

"You are one of a kind."

Xue Yang partakes of his birthday candies as he listens to Song Lan. When he's done, Xue Yang smiles a little. "He definitely likes you. I only talked to him that one time, and it was obvious. He'll just need time before he'll be able to admit it. To himself and to you." He can definitely relate to Collins in several ways, which feels a little strange.

He flushes a little at that and gives his love a tender kiss. "That's not always a good thing," he jokes as he rubs their noses together. "But you are too. Only in good ways."
