As soon as he's back with his loves, he's drawn right back into the warm circle of their arms. Song Lan holds them tight, feeling his very soul relax and warm.
A chuckle answers the praise, then Xue Yang makes that wonderful announcement. And starts to strip. Then Xingchen tugs at his ties! Well. He doesn't mind this at all, especially since he'd expected it.
"It's better than the prison," he agrees. He lets Xingchen untie his robes, and returns the favor.
"I think the tub should handle us just fine. If not, we'll figure something else out that will."
Xue Yang chuckles and watches happily as Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan start to undress each other. He discards his own robes and then gets out of his shoes and pants as well.
"Mm... I think Zichen should be in the middle so that we can both hold him," he says as he saunters up to his lovers to help with the undressing. "We were apart for too long." He slides his arms around Song Lan's waist and kisses his shoulder.
"It will handle us just fine." Xingchen drapes Zichen's robes over a chair and laughs, his joy bubbling up, when his robes are removed too. It only takes a little while for them - Xue Yang included - to wiggle free of their boots and trousers too.
Once he is bare, Xingchen lets down his hair, amused to see that the length he had achieved in prison remains the same. He could almost hide entirely behind his hair!
"I agree. We have missed our Zichen." he climbs into the tub first and sits on one end, holding open his arms, "He never doubted we would find him."
Xingchen's robes are draped over the same chair as Zichen's, and he sets Xue Yang's there too. Three sets. Together again. He also frees himself of his trousers and boots, and lets his hair down before reaching out to free Xue Yang's, fingers gently carding through that soft hair.
Between his loves. He smiles as Xingchen climbs into the tub then those arms open for him. "How could I doubt you would return to me? I did before. I learned my lesson. And here you are." He steps into the tub and settles in those arms before holding out his for Xue Yang.
Xue Yang smiles warmly and leans into Song Lan's fingers through his hair. He turns his head and kisses his palm, nuzzling it like a cat.
Once Song Lan is in the tub, Xue Yang quickly follows. He climbs in and settles close to him, snuggling up against his side and wrapping his arms around his middle. "Mm... I was terrified we'd never see you again," he admits in a low voice, "That you'd go back to... to being undead, mute and alone."
"It's difficult to hold onto faith...when you're alone." Xingchen welcomes Zichen with a tight embrace, kissing his temple protectively, "Mm I was frightened too. We didn't want you here, alone and suffering." he rubs over Zichen's back and smiles at how Xue Yang snuggles up to the man.
Lifting his hand, he strokes over Xue Yang's hair, trying to comfort him.
"I think our A-Yang feared we would go back to hating him."
