Y-Yeah. I didn't think you could ever... ever want me around if you knew. [ And Song Lan showing up had pretty much been his biggest fear. ]
It's not your fault. I hurt you so much... I drove you to it. I'm sorry. [ He leans into the touches through his hair, a pleased little sound following. ]
I want you...and I need you, Xue Yang. [Xingchen holds him tighter and frowns.] You came back to life. I'm not going to waste the time we have together being angry at you.
Zichen... [He softens and nuzzles Xue Yang's shoulder.] He told me about how you were... My A-Yang, I wish I could have come back for you.
[ Xue Yang sniffles and buries his face against Xingchen's neck again. Those words are exactly what he's needed to hear. ]
I... I wished that too. So much. I drove myself crazy trying to get you back. [ And now they're finally together again. ] I... refused to understand that you didn't want to come back.
He didn't? [ That surprises Xue Yang a little. He's not sure how Song Lan feels about him, or how he'd felt back then. ] I made him kill for me... He should hate me.
[ He shudders a little as he memory of Xingchen slitting his own throat returns to him. He cuddles up closer to Xingchen. ] Y-Yeah. It was shattered. I could feel it, but I... I wanted to think there was a way to bring you back anyway.
He doesn't. [Xingchen answers quietly, turning Xue Yang's head so he can kiss him, tenderly, on the lips.] He didn't like killing you.
[Because, at a certain point, justice becomes...grey. Xue Yang's death didn't fix the loss of his life, his tongue and Xingchen; if anything, it probably made Zichen lonelier.]
I never meant to make you so miserable. [Xingchen lays back on the bed and holds Xue Yang against him.]
I won't push you away. I would be a fool to let you go. [And he has been foolish enough.] Even Zichen knows how much you love me. I... That's what I need. All I need.
Xue Yang presses even closer once they're laying down. He slides a leg over Xingchen's hip so that they can have even more intimacy. ] I told you, it's not your fault. I made myself miserable. I... didn't know how to keep you.
[ He nuzzles Xingchen's neck and kisses it. ] I'm not good at sharing... but I'll try for you.
[ Xue Yang smiles and leans into the kisses, warmth spreading through him. Xingchen is so good at reassuring him. He leans up and presses their lips together.
[ Xue Yang's smile widens and he presses himself as close as he can possibly get. ] Yeah, you better not. [ He murmurs a little playfully, kissing him again. ]
[Xingchen gasps and giggles when he ends up on top of his A-Yang. Settling himself comfortably on Xue Yang's hips, he lays over his lover with a smile.]
I love you too. [He presses into another kiss, nuzzling their noses together.] If I think about even a day without you, I feel like crying.
[ Xue Yang feels calmed having the soothing weight of Xingchen on top of him. Like a heavy blanket weighing him down. He deepens the kiss, letting their tongues play, and sucking a little needily on his bottom lip. ]
I was without you for so long... I don't want that ever again.
[ More than anything. He already knows what life is without Xiao Xingchen, and it had been... miserable. Lonely. The absolute worst experience of his life, worse even than losing his finger. He can't ever go through that again.
And now he needs to feel Xingchen. His love, his desire, his warm body... He parts his lips when they're sucked on to let Xingchen in. ]

Date: 2023-04-23 12:04 pm (UTC)That's what he said. Watching you was painful for him. He didn't like seeing you that way.
[Xingchen can only imagine how tattered his spirit must have been to refuse all spells.]
I must have cut my spirit into pieces. Shuanghua can do that.

Re: [Action]
Date: 2023-04-23 12:41 pm (UTC)First of all, you're not keeping me. I'm choosing to stay.
[Xingchen lays Xue Yang's hand over his heart.]
Second of all, it's not sharing. At least, not what I have in mind. [He blushes.] You think Zichen is handsome, don't you?

You want all three of us to be together?

Re: [Action]
Date: 2023-04-23 12:53 pm (UTC)If all of us are together... no one would be left out. [ He likes that better than having to be without Xingchen while he's with Song Lan. ]

Date: 2023-04-23 12:57 pm (UTC)You don't have to love him and he doesn't have to love you. We know hearts can change over time and -
There is a reason for us, A-Yang. We have been in each other's orbit for too long.
