[ Xue Yang chuckles softly and kisses his lover's jawline, teasing a little when he next speaks. ]
What if people start to think we're actual ghosts and send cultivators after us?
[ Another humorless chuckle follows. ]
I really doubt that. By the time I started feeling differently... I couldn't tell him. It would've ruined everything. [ The look in his eyes grows a little distant. ] I would've been anonymous forever if I could've only... [ He trails off and sighs, a small shudder going through him. ] B-But, it's no fucking use thinking about that. He's gone. For good now.
[Zichen snorts and leans into the warm lips, his eyelids half-closed.]
We will be forced to explain and send them on their way.
[He rubs over Xue Yang's back and kisses his cheeks.]
He is with someone who makes him happy. Or...he will be. [Zichen cups Xue Yang's face between his palms.] And you are with me. I know your past; there are no lies between us.
He is. Crozier left too. His inmate graduated. [ Xue Yang had seen it on the network, but he hadn't commented. He's not at a point where he can feel happy for Xiao Xingchen. That wound is still too open, too raw. Just knowing that Xiao Xingchen is still alive out there somewhere, in a world he can't reach, hurts.
Song Lan grounds him though, brings him back to the present. He clings closer to him and blinks away tears. A broken little chuckle leaves him. ]
Ah good. [He purposefully kept away from the network where Crozier and Xingchen were concerned. It just... It was difficult to read anything from them. Even now, his chest clenches and aches, his guilt and anxiety threatening to engulf him again.
On instinct, he caresses Xue Yang's face and kisses the other man tenderly. This... This is what grounds him too.]
I don't want to make you cry. I'd rather make you laugh.
Mm... I guess so. [ Xue Yang had not been able to stay away, no matter how much it hurt. In that sense, it's better that they're not here. It forces him to focus on other things.
[That has occurred to him too. Now he can imagine them being...happy. And too far away for him to reach. It's almost a relief even though it breaks his heart too.
Zichen smiles softly and snuggles Xue Yang in the blanket.]
[ Xue Yang is very excited! He's already grinning before Song Lan has even finished the joke and when he does, he starts cackling. It's not particularly funny, it's just the fact that it's Song Lan saying it that has him cracking up. ]
[ Xue Yang makes a soft sound and immediately clings close to his lover, snuggling into him and greedily soaking up all his affection. He closes his eyes and lets out a pleased little sigh. Perfect. ]
[He wraps his arms around his silly A-Yang and kisses the side of his head. The little sigh makes him chuckle and he closes his eyes contentedly. Yes. This is perfect.]
Re: [Action]
Mm... it'd be hard to explain how we're alive if anyone recognizes us.
[ He ducks his head down a little. ]
I never had a chance in the first place.
[Action]
We'll be gone before they can be sure of anything. You and I will be like ghosts.
[He arches a brow.]
If you had been honest from the beginning and shown him you wanted to change, you would have stolen his heart.

You're gonna make me fucking cry again, asshole.

You're pretty good at that too.
[Action]
Zichen smiles softly and snuggles Xue Yang in the blanket.]
Shall I tell you a terrible joke?
Re: [Action]
Alright, give me your best shot.
[Action]
What do you call a pony with a sore throat?
[He hesitates and then mutters, ashamed:]
A little hoarse.
[There. He did it. All for Xue Yang. If this isn't love, what is?]
Re: [Action]
[Action]
Much better.
Re: [Action]
Mhmm... thank you, Zichen.
[Action]
I will cease to exist if you tell others I know such a poor joke.
Re: [Action]
Your secret's safe with me.
[Action]
Then I won't need to go into hiding.
Re: [Action]
Mmm.... that'd be a shame.
[Action]
I didn't say I would hide from you.
Re: [Action]
Mm... so I could keep you here as my dirty little secret?
[Action]
Re: [Action]
I don't know... you have been getting me pretty dirty tonight~
[Action]
We will need a bath, but... You're not dirty.
Re: [Action]
Mmm... I like feeling you on me after. And inside me.
[Action]
I...don't mind it either. What we do is...wonderful.
Re: [Action]
Mmm... I don't think I ever really enjoyed sex before now. [ Not on the same level at least. ]
