[ If Xie Lian had indicated displeasure at being held or carried, Hua Cheng would have stopped. But that never came. He'd recognized any request had come belated, when Xie Lian thought it better to be on his own feet.
Each time his precious god calls for him, or tells him he's loved, his spirit soars with joy. ]
I love you. [ He answers, reverent and utterly honest.
Of course his Xie Lian would never see him dressed poorly. The god would make sure he's always dressed perfectly! Hua Cheng presses into that gentle finger, he chuckles quietly. ]
{It hadn't been until Hong'er clung to him that he realized he liked...being held. He liked having someone who wanted him - and obviously needed him. San Lang had given him a lot of the same feelings and now he understands why!
The return of his love is all he needs to exist. Xie Lian shivers happily and kisses Hua Cheng's chin.}
All of them? We won't have to worry about sunlight!
{He looks delighted at the prospect, wiggling out of bed and going to their closet. He pulls out two red robes and lays them on the bed for Hua Cheng to peruse. Then he pulls silver butterflies out of a drawer and holds them out.}
[ Hua Cheng has never been someone who liked physical touch.
Except for Xie Lian. Xie Lian has always been the exception. Hua Cheng had sought out his touch the moment the prince had first caught him. ]
All of them that do not have a task elsewhere.
[ Because of course he keeps an eye on things through them.
He watches his love move around their room, missing the warmth but not protesting. Xie Lian has a mission! And he's not disappointed, as two robes are pulled out and laid out before him. Chuckling quietly at the cute silver butterflies his beloved brandishes, he lightly touches them and studies the robes. ]
{Who would after all of the abuse he endured? Xie Lian had seen some of it and it just... It decided him on falling. How could he sit and watch someone so precious beaten and terrorized and do nothing? His heart had rebelled and then his body had followed.}
Let the little ones come. {He loves them so much!} I have a plan for them. I know the perfect seats for our glowing guests.
{Flowers. Lots of flowers. He has been working on creating them with his spirit since that seems to be the way Hua Cheng made the butterflies in the first place.}
Would you like a butterfly on each of your shoulders? {He places the silver pendants on the shoulders of Hua Cheng's robes.}
[ Only parts. Parts Hua Cheng hasn't been able to keep secret. He doesn't want any more ugliness to trouble his precious love any more than it already does. But he also won't lie to his beloved. If Xie Lian ever asks the right questions, he'll learn every last thing.
He's quiet for a moment at that request, but in the end, bows his head in acceptance. A few hours without them on their patrols will surely be alright, right? He'll keep his beloved safe.
Lightly resting fingertips on certain parts of the robes, he adds touches of silver. ]
Yes. [ To both the pendants being on the shoulders of his robes, and the fact that his wraith butterflies are part of him in the most literal sense. ]
But you never need worry about me dispersing when they are damaged or destroyed. As long as my beloved god wants me around, I will always come back.
{It has taken him awhile to understand, to see the full picture. Hua Cheng doesn't complain or make a fuss, so Xie Lian has never really had a reason to probe deeper. In fact, he had never seen him truly upset until he laid eyes on his darling's artwork. His sculptures. To be so dearly loved... How could he walk away? But he had felt how Hua Cheng was shaking that day, fearful he would lose him for good.
With the robes laid out, he moves back to Hua Cheng and peppers his gorgeous face with kisses.}
I felt like crying every time they were injured or killed. I hated it. {He crawls into Hua Cheng's lap.}
Be gentle with them, love. They are pieces of you and I love each one.
[ The only thing he fears is losing Xie Lian. Of failing his beloved to the degree that he's no longer allowed or welcomed at his precious one's side. His only regret, should he ever truly be dispersed, is that he won't be able to keep protecting and supporting Xie Lian. But when his sculptures had been seen, he'd worried that he would disgust Xie Lian.
He'd been wrong.
The kisses have him hum, smiling softly at his precious love. His arms immediately wrap protectively, possessively, around that slender waist and he cuddles his husband close. Xie Lian is so kind to even the smallest creature! Qi Rong is the one exception. ]
They love helping you. Gathering information, providing light, protecting you with giving warning...would you deny them that joy?
{That's impossible. Xie Lian's spirit would be as stubborn as Hua Cheng's and surely return as a ghost. And Hua Cheng can forget about ever failing him. That too is impossible. If Hua Cheng loves him - and, actually, even if he stops loving him for some reason - Xie Lian cannot hold anyone in higher regard. Everything good about humanity seems to exist in his San Lang.
With a little bounce, he crawls over his husband and grins, content, into his eye.}
...no. I can't deny them - or you - anything. {He sighs and then chuckles.} They did enjoy tickling me, though. I think they must have some mischief in them.
{When he had been bound by their silk, the butterflies had teased him, which just made him love them more.}
[ So very 'stuck'~ Hua Cheng doesn't want to be free! Their bond is everything to him.
He smirks at that smile, hands coming to rest lightly on Xie Lian's hips. A shiver of anticipation runs through him and he does nothing to stop those light fingers. But that last statement has him lick his lips, hungry hope blooming hot in his chest. ]
{Xie Lian has been with Hua Cheng countless times, but there is one thing he has never done. One thing that he has been afraid to ask about in case his husband has no desire to try it. However, at the moment, he feels...brave. The hands on his hips are steady and strong, trusting him and he knows how their bodies work.}
San Lang, {He begins, voice lowering a notch.} may I take you? May I be inside of you?
[ He hardly dares move in case it breaks the mood! Hua Cheng loves being inside his beloved. He loves worshipping that perfect, handsome body, hearing Xie Lian cry out with pleasure.
But hearing that request, his blood burns. Immediately, he spreads his legs, welcoming his love between them. ]
{The tie is undone and Xie Lian pushes open Hua Cheng's robes. He caresses the full extent of his husband's chest with his palms and smiles, pleased. Lifting himself up, he laughs throatily at the way his darling spreads his legs. Yes, he wants to take care of him.}
Relax and let me love you. {He nudging their lips together, kissing his husband slowly while his hands wander, stroking and learning Hua Cheng's body.}
[ Xie Lian's touch is pure bliss. Hua Cheng hums his pleasure and grins without even a hint of shame at that laugh. Why should he be shy when his beloved god wants to claim him? Oh no - he'll remember this forever! Anyone who can sense heavenly power will know he's been utterly claimed after this!
Hua Cheng soaks up those wonderful touches as they kiss, and lets his own hands wander. Adoring his beloved husband. ]
{All the gods will know. The cultivators will too. Now his dear ghost will know how he felt when a certain essence was found on him! In his mouth and...other places.
Not that he regrets what led to those signs.
Xie Lian sheds their clothes, tossing them away without looking. Then he kisses his San Lang again and rubs oil over his husband's cock.}
[ Smug? Smug. So very, very smug. Hua Cheng has no regrets when it comes to loving and devoting himself to Xie Lian. Only that he hadn't always protected his beloved god as well as he should have (the fact he hadn't had the strength at the time is beside the point).
He lifts himself up as needed to facilitate the removal of clothes, his attention remains fixed on his beloved husband. He presses into the kiss and moans as his cock is thoroughly slicked up. Those hands drive him crazy with need! A rough chuckle answers that statement and he grins. ]
{The smugness is cute. Xie Lian will never, ever hold those moments Hua Cheng couldn't protect him against him. That would be ridiculously unfair. What matters most to him is his beloved was with him at his worst and now at his best. Besides...back then...he wouldn't have wanted Hua Cheng to see...those horrible things. He would have begged him to look away.
Those memories are far, far from his thoughts as he undresses San Lang. The beautiful body beneath him is kissed and stroked, silken hair tumbling down to tickle sensitive parts too. Xie Lian smooths oil over his darling's cock first and then he seeks out that entrance. He probes gently and lifts Hua Cheng's legs so they are draped over his shoulders.}
Relax. Breathe. {He soothes, coating his cock in oil too.} I love you, San Lang.
[ Xie Lian never has. But Hua Cheng will spend his existence keeping his beloved safe and happy. He will never turn away, and never has. He aches to take away any pain his precious one has ever felt.
It's easy to focus on the present. Watching his beloved, so happy and content with him as clothing is removed and tossed aside. Loving touches are exchanged. Hua Cheng arches into those loving touches, shivering as soft hair tickles him. A gentle finger rubs over his entrance, but he remains relaxed even as his legs are lifted and draped over his beloved's strong shoulders.
Anticipation thrums through him and he smiles softly down at Xie Lian. But there's still a hint of...mischief. ]
{Here and now, thanks to Hua Cheng, he has no pain. Xie Lian has never been happier - more content - and he giggles as they kiss, his hands getting to know his husband intimately. His San Lang has a body fit for a martial god and Xie Lian could spend hours kissing every muscle. If he had any skill in sculpture, he would carve his darling's likeness.
But this is the best way he knows to show his love. So he rubs against the other man and soon, he guides himself into him. The tight grip around him, the silken walls have him gasping and he kisses San Lang's smile clumsily.
[ He loves those giggles! If he could carve the essence of giggling, he would. As it is, he occasionally still carves little statues - as their silly hamster knows.
Then - bliss. Hua Cheng sighs as his beloved slowly sinks into him. His body accepts the unfamiliar intrusion easily, however. This is his god. His husband. His beloved. Heat envelopes him and he kisses his sweet love softly.
The trembling has him smooth loving hands along Xie Lian's sides, encouraging him to relax. Even though it's a challenge to hold still and not move, his muscles flex around Xie Lian's cock, as if trying to draw him in even deeper. ]
My beloved is perfect.
[ There's a well of satisfaction in the low rumble of his voice. ]
{He has been laughing a lot more since they married. Life is filled to the brim with joy for him - he feels utterly complete - and the only time he doubts himself is when he wonders if he is loving Hua Cheng enough.
His arousal throbs inside of his beloved, eager for motion, but Xie Lian wants to savor this. He deepens their kisses and tastes the secret corners of his San Lang's mouth. Only when he is dizzy does he finally...pull back.
Only to hurry back in!}
You f-feel... I didn't know - ! Has it always been - ? {He babbles, blushing red.}
[ Each giggle and laugh feels like a victory to him. Especially as he knows they're genuine.
Hua Cheng delights in feeling that throbbing, knowing his beloved wants to move, but also to hold still to let this linger. He knows that feeling, intimately. He answers each kiss, welcoming that probing tongue and teasing it.
A giddy little chuckle escapes at the adorable babbling. ]
It'll get even better. [ He promises, but forces himself to hold still. Only the muscles that grip his beloved's arousal continue to flutter and flex, greedy to hold on tight. ]
{Just as San Lang's laughter fills him with a sense of rightness. They have suffered and struggled; there is nothing wrong with them finding what they have always craved together.
Xie Lian doesn't know how to not be genuine. Even dressed as a bride, he had been wholly himself. Just in a dress. The image of his San Lang coming for him that night, smiling and helping him after he stumbled leaves Xie Lian feeling rather naughty. There are many things he would do to welcome his Ghost King now.
Moaning and whining, he rubs their tongues together and, after they part, tries to make sense. Of course he fails.}
It...c-can? It will? {How is that possible? He trembles until he presses his lips into a firm line. Mastering himself, he begins to move inside of his beloved, stroking himself against those lovely walls with a loud gasp.}
