[Xingchen clings to Xue Yang, whispering comforting words into his ear and rubbing over his back and his hair. The tears break his heart and yet something tells him they are good.
[ It is good! A bit of an emotional release after everything. Xue Yang normally hates being vulnerable and weak, but he feels safe enough around Xingchen to allow himself to be.
He cries until his tears dry up, but he never stops clinging to Xingchen, letting himself be held and comforted. ]
[Xingchen kisses Xue Yang's shoulder and smiles against his skin. His hands move over his lover's body slowly, soothingly, mapping out his soft skin and muscles.]
That amazes me. [He sighs.] But I feel it. I love you too, A-Yang.
[ Xue Yang is silent for a moment before speaking again. ] I hurt you both... so much. No one would blame you for hating me, for... for wanting me dead. I wouldn't blame you.
I made my choice. [Xingchen touches Xue Yang's chin, expression solemn.] I don't want to live in regret. I don't want to wonder what could have been. I love you and instead of letting that become...hatred...I am choosing to stay in love.
[ Xue Yang sniffs and leans deeper into Xingchen's arms. ]
I hope so... [ He shudders a little and nuzzles into his shoulder. ] Can we lay down? [ He suddenly feels exhausted, and he wants Xingchen to hold him. ]

What do you think will happen if we complete our sentences? Will we go back home?
